A Serious Matter
Huntress opened the throttle on her bike and sped through the streets of Gotham. She was going to be late and that was bad. One, she really didn't like being late and two, the problem was one that needed addressing asap. It couldn't go on a moment longer and tonight she and Thomas were going to start doing something about it.

She weaved in and out of traffic and flipped people off when appropriate it. Huntress was one of the protectors of Gotham, but she didn't have to be a polite one. She skidded around a corner and zoomed into the parking garage. It didn't take her long to get up to the top level.

She skidded to a stop right next to Thomas.

"Sorry I'm late," she said. "I know how important this is."

	Thomas was already there and leaning against his bike with his arms crossed and a disapproving look on his face. "Expected and accounted for it, to be honest. But you know why we had to discuss this here." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I know," she said. "This is too important to be discussed anywhere where others can hear." Maria climbed off her bike. "So. What are we going to do about it? We can't let this go on any further. We need to take action now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Especially certain people," he nods. "We should've started this earlier, we let it go without any response for too long." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know. They may get too comfortable and think they're going to be just fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Which means now isn't all that bad a time to start, when they think they're safe..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria smiled. "Exactly. They won't be suspecting it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think we should do it in a series of hits, keep them on their toes and jittery. Makes more of an impression and sends a message." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh this wasn't going to stop at one strike," she said. "I was thinking many strikes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-18 05:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Only way to do it. I hate to admit it, but they're sharp. But we'll be craftier is all," he smirks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Please. We could out think them on our worst day," she said as she rolled her eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pfft, that's a given. Gotta show them who's really holding the ropes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-18 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Agreed. So the big question...what exactly are we going to do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-18 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	Long pause. "At least one needs to involve that green scaly speedo." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-18 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Maria nodded. "Itching powder in sheets is a classic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-18 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	"We need to hit the clothes with something too," he decides. "No replacements available since the rest of us aren't the right size for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-18 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	Maria nodded. "Definitely. I was also thinking dye in shower gel and shampoo to make him colorful like a peacock." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-18 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Let's go for red dye. If you're going to add that to the name...might as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-18 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	"How about red skin and bright blue hair?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-18 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Works, we can reverse it if we want. Those things work only once though but they're good ones. We'll have a smurf around then," he chuckles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-18 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh that's totally better. The smurf jokes will never grow old. Blue skin and red hair. Gotcha. I may have to do a little researching and see what else we can do to him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-18 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Well it's that or go for oompaloompa orange I guess, he's a squirt either way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-18 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	Maria laughed. "I think the smurf has the most potential for jokes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-18 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Give him a lollipop for good measure though, we need to cover all the teasing bases." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll get one of those big ones. I may be able to jury rig the sound system to play the song every time he walks into a room." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-18 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	"The Manor does have an excellent sound system...shame to waste it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-18 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Just have to hope Bruce doesn't disable it or something." Though if she knew Bruce, he may even chuckle a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-18 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Nah, he'd turn a blind eye for it as long as none of our pranks hit him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-18 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Remind me to stop at the pet store on the way home," she said. "Crickets unleashed in his room. The noise will drive him crazy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-18 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	"I vote recordings of crickets, the tiny speakers can be placed anywhere and we can control the timing and sound. Besides, means preventing the crickets from getting into other rooms." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-18 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	"We can do both," Maria said. "Crickets are tough to find. Harder than speakers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-18 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	"If we want to keep AltDad turning a blind eye best to avoid the crickets. If they get out of his room and into the rest of the Manor or ours...them being tough to find is going to be a hassle. Besides..." Now came the mischievous grin. "The little speakers can be made to play anything. It's a Small World After All?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-19 01:09 am UTC (link)
	"It is," she said. "Of course this doesn't mean you get a break. I'm not going to slack off on that front." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-19 01:11 am UTC (link)
	"Sadly I didn't expect you too. But of course that applies to you too, not going to stop giving you a hard time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As long as we pose a united front against the Squirt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-19 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"Oh don't worry, getting the squirt is more important than getting you right now, I'm ahead on my tormenting Maria quota. So united front it is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-19 01:32 am UTC (link)
	Maria grinned. "That's the way it should be. Us against him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-20 12:01 am UTC (link)
	Thomas got on his bike and grinned. "Supplies?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-02-20 12:03 am UTC (link)
	Maria grinned. "Exactly. See you at home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2013-02-20 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Thomas nods, puts on his helmet, gives her a two-finger salute as a bye and drives off. (Reply to this)(Parent)
