Patrol
Huntress had been doing extra long patrols since the bodies of Jokerz started showing up around Gotham. It appeared to have stopped, but longer patrols would continue for awhile. Between work during the day and Bruce thinking she needed to be more active at Wayne Enterprises and extra long patrols at night, her social life had been killed. Her last night out had been dinner with Tomas and Thomas and that was awhile ago.

Huntress was currently perched on the corner of a rooftop and watching the city from above.

	She'll get flashes of activity down below. Skanda has been pursuing some of these gangers for a while, trying to trace down exactly who is connected to who. There's a couple shots, and then a chase - into the alley she's gargoyle-ing over. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Well. Look who has showed up to the party. Huntress smirked and tossed a Batarang at the fleeing suspect. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That drops the fleeing suspect quickly into Skanda's way. Whether he notices the batarang or not, he hefts the man up by the back of his jacket, slamming him forward against the wall. "Who do you work for?" he growls low, grinding the suspect's face against the rough cement wall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Huntress dropped down to the ground to land right behind Skanda. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-06-11 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	"You again?" Skanda growls, with a glance over his shoulder. "I have my own stalker, great." he adds. His attention shifts back to the man he's got against the wall, punching him in the kidney. "I said, who do you work for?!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-06-11 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Not even a thank you for the assist," Huntress grumbled as she watched. She wasn't going to step in and interrupt. At least not yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My, we're in a /mood/ tonight," Huntress said. She leaned against the wall and started twirling a lock of hair in her fingers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-06-11 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	Skanda gets what he wants out of the guy, then tosses him towards her. "Here, you can arrest him or whatever it is you do." Not his style, but not worth the trouble offing a random thug would bring him currently either. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-06-11 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	Huntress caught the guy before he fell on the ground. "Great. Do I get roses or chocolate or diamonds? No. I get guys giving me thugs." Huntress slapped a pair of cuffs on the guy and then let him collapse to the ground. "Do I look like a cop? Okay well outside of the handcuffs of course. They do server more than one purpose." She smirked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-06-12 12:37 am UTC (link)
	He's about to respond, when her last comment gets a raised brow, anyway. "Nah, you're not wearing enough clothes to be a cop. Vice, maybe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-06-12 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	"I could never be a cop," she said. "I like breaking rules too much." She smiled. "And I've worn less bringing down the bad guys." She did miss her job as a stripper. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-06-16 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	He smirks. "Stripperella saves the day, huh?" He didn't know about her job, but it certainly fit the commentary. Ok, so maybe she could be a little more fun than the average Bat. He still didn't exactly trust her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-06-16 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	"That's a tacky name. I was Candy Starr," she smirked. "I miss that job. It was fun." Huntress sighed. She needed to put Bruce on the bad gift list for making her quit. "What did this lowlife do?" She nudged the guy with a foot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Its probably a lie, of course. He's pretty sure it can't be that easy - but he makes a mental note to eventually look into strippers who went by 'Candy' anyway. Can only be a thousand or so of them.

Still, this is reasonably civil so far, and maybe she'll stop getting in the way if he throws her a bone now and then when she shows up. Besides, she'd track the information down eventually anyway, now that she's gotten a good look at this one.

"He and the rest of the gang he ran with used to run a storehouse and drop point. Was trying to find who did the pick ups from there."

	"If I find out I'll let you know," she said. She could throw him a bone once in awhile. He was being nice enough. For now. "If you get wind of anything with Demassi's crew, let me know. Something's going on with organized crime in Gotham." She wasn't going to tell him about the clowns dying. He probably already knew. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-06-16 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Since when do the Jokerz count as organized?" He knew. "DeMassi though - ok. If I hear anything, I'll flash a light up in the sky shaped like a giant thong." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-06-16 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"I didn't say anything about the clowns," she said. "That's a separate issue. Which doesn't need your attention." Her mouth twisted a little. "Just make sure it's green. Otherwise I may not realize it's for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-06-16 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	"I could give a fuck about the clowns. They're not my business. Just might have heard a thing or two." He smirks. "Green thong, huh? That what you've got on right now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-06-17 12:02 am UTC (link)
	"Purple," she said. "It has to match the costume. Girl has to match." Huntress sighed. Dealing with him was like trying to give a cat a bath. "I'd ask what you've heard about the clowns, but I have a feeling you're not the sharing type." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-06-17 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"Ok, I could see Purple on you. Yeah." A shrug. "Not a lot, but then I haven't been checking up on them. Like I said, not my business. Except that the D.o.A.'s were mostly their ambitious types. I checked their rap sheets to see if they might be related to things that are my business. No, as it turns out - so you can have that tidbit free of charge." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-06-17 12:12 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe if I go back for a special appearance I'll let you know so you can catch my act." That was interesting to know. "Thanks. You're too kind." Just a bit of sarcasm with that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-06-17 12:20 am UTC (link)
	"I know. I'm a regular Brother Theresa." he replies with a snort. "You do that. You put on a show dropping the utility belt and bat-underroos, I might drop in on you for a change." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-06-17 12:25 am UTC (link)
	Huntress had to chortle at his remark. Though she could make him a sister and picture him in a habit. Though she'd bet the nuns at her high school would have been nicer. "You'd be lucky to see me drop my Bat underoos." Dammit. Now she wanted underoos. She had them when she was young and loved them. Though Bruce would scowl when she wore her Supergirl Underoos. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-06-17 12:28 am UTC (link)
	"Better than how you keep dropping in now, anyway." At least he got a genuine smile out of her. Definitely a different sort of Bat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-06-17 12:31 am UTC (link)
	"I get the feeling you always got the 'doesn't play well with others' on your report cards," she said. "Thanks for the info on the clowns. I'll see what I can find out about those pickups." Sirens could be heard in the distance and they were getting closer. "You should probably get going. They won't arrest me on sight." She hoped. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-06-17 12:36 am UTC (link)
	He nods. "Well, the regulars might not. Be careful, they might be vice, though." he adds, starting for an alley. "Good luck on the clowns." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thanks," she said to his back as he left. That was...surreal to say the least. She didn't know what to make of that encounter. She had been expecting the usual snapping at each other.

Huntress shook her head and picked the guy up off of the ground. Time to deliver him and head home. She had to be in Sullivan's office bright and early. Not to mention this wig was driving her crazy. She couldn't wait to get rid of the blonde hair, but she'd never tell Thomas that.
