SUPERHERO HIJINKS LOG

[hawkingbird]

WHO: Hawkeye, Red Robin, and Batgirl
WHAT: Red Robin introduces his new girlfriend to his old one so they can plot superhero things and be awkward, possibly.
WHEN: Not too long after Lydia's party, late at night / early morning.
WHERE: Rooftops of New Moore.

Hawkeye is tapping her foot, impatiently, arms crossed. She had expected Tim to be annoyingly early, and yet, here she is, the first one at the set meeting place.

She should have insisted they come here together. She's not very good at waiting.

So. Batgirl, huh. She had considered making fun of the name, but hell, she calls herself Hawkeye, and it's not even like she came up with the name herself--she took it from someone else. Well. Was given it. Still, not hers. She can't really fault someone for "Batgirl", I mean, at least that girl probably came up with it on her own.

She starts drumming her fingers against her crossed arms now. She's been on edge since the party, wondering what kind of person would take advantage of someone as obviously vulnerable as Lydia -- no matter how Lydia tries to deny it, there's something that girl needs to tell someone, even if that someone isn't Kate. It pisses her off. She doesn't like people going after her friends.

That thought just reminds her of her hallucinations.

Maybe she really should go to therapy. Not the I'm-spying-on-Dr.-Crane kind, but maybe those people at the hospital have someone she can talk to. At the party she saw nothing but the people she loved, dying, over and over again, unable to stop it.

Cassie, in the midst of it all, dying a hundred different ways.

She shudders, but not from the cold.

Tim had better get here quick.

Tim really hadn't intended to run late, but there was a mugging by the docks, and then he'd spent five minutes flipping through his camera feeds, first looking for the culprit and second because something seemed vaguely off and he couldn't put his finger on it -- and then he'd noticed the timestamp in the camera frame and realized he was still thirty-two blocks downhill from where he needed to be.

Now, he's swinging across the rooftops as if his life depended on it -- because the notion of Steph and Kate -- Hawkeye and Batgirl -- meeting without him present -- fills him with a totally irrational terror that he can't quite describe.

He just wants to get there first. Well. Second is fine. As long as he isn't the last to arrive... and he can see the building now, just six blocks away.
