video [FORWARD dated to 1:30am]

[blondevigilante]

[The video is dark, but not so dark that one can't see the debris of crushed buildings and small fiery flames lapping around. Batgirl is grinning, but it's forced and there's a lot of pain in her eyes for those that know her]

We, uh, we go home if we die, right? Or come back. I never asked and that's something I really should have-

Can't you do anything right?

Location, Batgirl.

Robin? Damn, who did I piss off in my past life?

Upper East. Rundown Brownstone.

[painful sigh]

I wasn't exactly taking addresses, okay.

[xuffasch]

You are entirely useless.

Stay there.

( action... ? )

voice; encrypted

[blondevigilante]

Yeah, that won't be a problem.

( action )

Steph leaned back and tried again to move herself from under the rubble with no luck. Damn.

action;

[xuffasch]

( He gets there in a matter of minutes; they have trackers and the like for situations like this. He'll swoop down on the scene and give her the most condescending of looks. )

Really, Batgirl.

action;

[blondevigilante]

[There's nothing worse than having to look up at a kid who's suppose to be saving you, although Damian is probably just as likely to let her fry]

Fancy meeting you here. One of the big Bats wouldn't happen to be right behind you would they? Not that I'm doubting your prowess.

[Except she sort of is because this is a large chunk of wall and she's way too tired to be of much help.]

action;

[xuffasch]

The big Bats are all either gone, indisposed, or busy. Though if you don't want my help, then I'm sure I could find someone better to save.

( But he's already examining the wreckage, and digging in his belt for something with which to blow away some of the wall. Yup. )

action;

[blondevigilante]

No, hey, you're totally my knight in shining armor tonight. I'll even give you a kiss like in the movies. The G-rated ones, not that crap Dick lets you watch.

action; Everyone wanted a bouncy redhead, right?

[foreverbouncing]

[Meanwhile, nearby...but a bit off from where Steph and Damian actually were, Charlie appears in a poof of pink smoke and light. She's got her cape and mask on, but otherwise appears to actually be in her pajamas. Whoops. She's holding a fire extinguisher, which doesn't do her much good since she just bounced into the MIDDLE OF A FIRE.]

Ow! Ow, da-

[She drops the fire extinguisher and vanishes, reappearing in the correct room this time, bent over and patting at a burn on her foot that promptly vanishes.]

action; of course

[xuffasch]

( Damian watches this display with an exasperated expression, making no more to help Charlie as he's still in the middle of trying to un-stick Steph. )

Oh. Misfit. Go find someone else to bother, this is actually important.

( He's already pushing against the wreckage, but when it becomes clear this won't work, he's back to contemplating explosives. )

I don't suppose you'd mind the risk of losing your legs?

action; bah! REDHEADS!

[blondevigilante]

Ch-Misfit, I told you to stay home. Black Bat is probably looking for you.

[Steph was suddenly far more concerned about Charlie getting hurt than the fact that she was still stuck]

I'd rather lose my legs than burn to a crisp, but if you can think of a way I won't get maimed I'm all ears.

action; hey! Redheads are awesome.

[foreverbouncing]

Shut up D.

And since when do I ever do what I'm told, huh?

[Once she had gotten the burn off her leg and people started talking, it helped yank her out of what was a pretty big fear. The fire surrounding them was horrible to her, but she could deal with it on the short term. She hoped.]

I'll help! Come on!

[She scrambled over to try and help lift the wall, though even her oddly non-specific super strength probably wasn't going to be much help.]

action; only in some universes

[xuffasch]

We're in field. You can't speak to me like that, I'm your superior. And codenames.

( he says all this without turning to look at misfit, just continually circling the situation to see what can be done. the fires nearest them he takes care of with one of the extinguishing batarangs from his belt, and then he turns his attention back to the matter at hand. )

...a small explosion. One that won't cost you your legs.

( he says this as though it's a decision already made. )

action; in the best universes! or at least the second best

[blondevigilante]

Robin, leave her alone.

[These two were giving her a headache, or maybe it was the smoke.]

I have...ice batarangs, but I can't reach them. Small explosives, but they will probably cost at least one leg.

action;

[foreverbouncing]

We're not blowing up your legs! That's totally stupid.

[She's just frowning at the both of them now, and the wall, and the fires, and all of it.]

You're not getting burned to death or blown up or anything! I could maybe...

[She's not really sure it's a good idea. At all. But she's considering the wall carefully.]

...I could try and bounce it off you.

action;

[xuffasch]

( damian opens his mouth automatically to say how stupid this idea is, and then he pauses and considers it for a moment. )

If you could, I could pull her out from the other side as soon as you did--it would only have to be for a moment.

...do it.
