You don't know how you got here; you just know you want out.

WHO: Batman, Bruce Wayne and an all star cast (will be OTA threads, but if you want something in particular pm me)
WHERE: Heropa would be my guess
WHEN: All month
WHAT: There's a lot to adjust to, introspection to be done, sparring, explanations and a man who has never thought about being a father suddenly having way too much responsibility. It's going to be a rollercoaster.
WARNINGS: V...violence? That would be my guess. And brooding.

Threads to follow, including open to all!

[ Of course she expects tests, that's not news to her — but she definitely perks with interest at the idea of a takedown with distance. That's the kind of thing the boss never taught her much about. Not after Todd's empty suit displayed in that silent glass case in the cave. ]

Yeah? [ Brightly, enthusiasm restored. ] So lay it on me, what's the ideas?

[ He removes his grapple gun from his belt, stepping in toward her with the grip turned in her direction. ]

I'll have to put my mind to some of the others--I'm thinking some sort of magnetic net, but maybe there's a way to use your slingshot as a launcher. Of course we'll have to find a way to get hold of carbon monofilament cable, but we're in the right place for salvage tech.

[ Bruce could innovate with the best of them, but he tended to leave invention to other people, and instead adapt the technology he found to suit his plans. If they could find the cable in sufficient lengths, Bruce was certain that he could build an explosive projectile that would wrap unbreakable cable around an assailant and with some luck, snap closed with strong magnets thereafter. ]

Do you know how to use this?

[ A magnetic net? That sounds awesome. Her eyes go bright, even if she doesn't actually voice the enthusiasm, and she steps forward to reach for that proffered grapple gun. ]

Sure. Got my own, too. [ Not quite like this one, though. This one is good, but a little... old. She looks over it curiously, noting similarities and differences. ] Figure like I can keep an eye out for stray tech — couldn't pay me to do summer school, so I got the time.

[ An extra eye being kept out for 'stray' technology is more than appreciated. Even if he doesn't pick up the cowl again, Bruce knows he'll need to be surrounded by technology just to feel safe. While he'd already set up a certain amount of pressure pads and switches and recording devices around his residence, so far most of it had been salvaged from his suit--he'd have to replace them. ]

You'll need to manage your time better than that. You should be able to hold your own against an assailant like me in straight up combat, too. Sometimes you won't be able to run. I'll teach you as much as I can.

Now show me. [ A nod toward the grapple gun, and he stepped back. ]

Kidding. [ She glances up at him from the grappling gun, a small smile in place. ] Place like this, with superpowers all over and the government playing friendly? Gonna need loads more training. Wouldn't have time for school anyway.

[ She doesn't say it like it'll be a chore, though. She sounds outright excited about the prospect. And on that note she fires off the grappling hook to let it catch in the trees above. She takes an instant to test her weight on it, then hits the retraction and zooms up and out of sight. The thing runs pretty good for an older model. ]
