Flock of birds
Jane had been busy and absent for a long time. That was going to change. She had two large cardiac-arrest inducing pizza and a twelve pack of a good dark beer that should be pleasantly distracting for her friend. She was going to need advice and help coming up with a game plan.

Things were changing. She knew it. Honestly it left Jane shaking in her boots. She wasn't ready to admit just how much change was really leaving her unnerved.

Still. She wanted to see her friend anyways. Play catch up. Maybe get a little buzzed from some beer and feel gut bustingly full from the pizza. She rings the door bell to Mia's place and waits.

	Mia opened the door, grinning when she saw Jane. "Hello stranger," she said, "C'mon in." The apartment certainly had gotten cleaner since Zach came back, as the normal clutter of papers and takeout cartons had been taken care of. "Pizza and beer. It's like you read my mind."

	Jane grins lazily. "Good to see you too." She blinks when she notices the mess that should be here isn't. She tilts her head then looks back at Mia. "You have a roommate," she says in a tone that is more like stating a fact. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Being a detective suits you, you know?" Mia's smirk grew wider. "Yes. I do have a roommate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She rolls her eyes but ends up grinning just a little. "I like it well enough." She would try guessing who the roommate might be but now isn't really the time. She can guess they've been away for at least six months though. "How much do they know? I got stuff I need to get off my chest. Don't want to weird them out if they walk in on something."

	Ninja sorcerer is lurking in the kitchen. "I know plenty." Zach pokes his head into the living room, wearing slippers and a bathrobe. "You must be Jane. Mia's told me about you." He moves into the living room. "Zachary Zatara - World's Greatest Magician." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mia grinned. "Zach's in the know, you could say,"she said as he entered the room. "I try and keep him up-to-date when he's on the road." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And so he knows pretty much everything," Jane supplies with a raised eyebrow. Well then this would be easy. "Did you hear about Daniel Kestrel, in Gotham?" She had a great deal to say about that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zach lets the two of them chat, draping his arms around Mia's shoulder from behind, sipping at a glass of wine by leaning his head over her shoulder. Just in case his presence there in evening wear wasn't obvious enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mia smirked, nudging her head against Zach's. "Pretty much." "No...I haven't heard anything. Why?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh Jesus fuck," Jane mutters while face palming. Then sets down the things she brought and finds a seat. "Grab a beer. You'll need it." She feels quite uncomfortable. "You'll need it. Shit got complicated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2010-04-15 01:29 am UTC (link)
	Zach frowns slightly, nudging Mia over to the couch and sitting next to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mia took Jane's advice, grabbing a beer and plopping down on the couch. "What happened?" She asked with a concerned look on face. "I've been..out of the loop these past couple of days." And she had, with Zach coming home. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Some valuable artifacts were stolen from a local museum. I was hired to get them back." She tries to figure out how to really get into it. She tells them about how she tracked the artifacts to Gotham.

How she noticed there was a Yakuza connection. She then tells them how she nearly got murdered. Then she briefly touched on Jake.

She talks about how she tracked down where the auction was. How they went in and everything that happened there. She struggles when she tells them about the people that died and she looks guilty. It doesn't matter to her they were Yakuza. They shouldn't have died. Not on her watch. She isn't teary eyed or anything but she looks upset still.

"He got off too. Nothin' I could do."

	Zach winces sympathetically, but stays quiet. Street level crime was never really his speed, so he doesn't have much to contribute. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Goddamn." Mia paused, biting her lip. "You got any leads. I'm going to need something we can work of off?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Urgh. None that can connect him and the people he killed that night," she utters looking still upset.

"He needs to be put away. Batman has enough on his plate so.... I was kind of thinking of setting up base in Gotham." She looks uncomfortable again. "It seems like the right move for me anyways. I was just advised to get back up. People are not going to be happy with me and Kestrel might be gunning for me."
