[01] Suddenly the 1950s

[gingerbatgirl]

A. Early morning; Action; Waking up

[Upon waking up, the first thing she notices is that this isn't her bed. Opening her eyes, it's clear that this isn't her bedroom either. Hell, it's probably not even her house. She's also pretty sure that she's not alone in this bed. Pushing aside her first instinct to just punch the person next to her until they

[Okay so this whole being without her powers in Oldsville deal is super-lame. Walking 'home' from school, which had been a trial in and of itself, Kara has plenty of time in which to brood, and brood she does. She lifts her gaze from her feet, biting her lip, and looks sulkily at her reflection in the shop windows as she passes.]

Ugh. A little less Pink Ladies tomorrow?

[But then, who's that passing by? Kara recognizes her by her coppery hair and turns on a dime, her black and white saddle shoes creaking.]

Hey! Barbara?

[gingerbatgirl]

[Just walking along, minding her own business when she hears her name. Oh great. Someone else who knows her? This is really becoming a thing and she doesn't like it. She turns to look at the other person, ready to explain that she doesn't know them, but then she stops. Hey, she actually recognizes this person. Even if she does...seem to be a little younger than normal]

Kara?

[child_of_argo]

[Her Bat!friend, in turn, seems a little older, but Kara's just too glad to find another familiar face in the crazy town. Have an impulsive hug, Babs.]

Omigosh I didn't know you were here!

[gingerbatgirl]

[She will hug back because, oh my god, someone that she knows besides Dick and he fucking Riddler]

I didn't know you were here either. But that's because I just got here today. Have you been here long?

[This guy will bug her, certainly, if only because he's dressed in some very familiar viridian attire. And he's driving an incredibly familiar car. That almost collides with her as she's crossing the street. But thankfully, he'll be able to slam on the brakes, honking loudly at her.]

[gingerbatgirl]

[Almost being run over by a car probably doesn't phase her as much as it should. It kind of comes with the territory of being a superhero in Gotham. The thing that does catch her attention though? Is the car. She definitely recognizes that car. She recognizes the man driving the car too. Though even if she didn't it really wouldn't matter because who else but the Riddler would really drive that car? But it's probably not the best plan to let him know that she recognizes him. On the other hand, it probably doesn't even matter. She doesn't even know what he knows]

Investing in some driving lessons might be a good idea.

[puzzlerprince]

[After the past year or so in Mayfield, Edward now knows quite a bit. He'd already learned Batman's identity after that little dip in the Lazarus Pits, and though he'd forgotten about it in the midst of a Crisis, Mayfield's old-timey comic books were kind enough to jog his memory. He also deduced the identity of Nightwing. But luckily for Batgirl? He hasn't figured her out yet.]

Investing in some common sense might be a better idea. Did you even bother looking both ways?

[gingerbatgirl]

[He'll figure it out eventually. Until then she'll just cling to the secret as bats are prone to do]

It's a cross walk. Most people are confident that they can walk in these without almost getting run over. But I do appreciate the children's show reminiscent lecture.

D - late to the party

[heartstar_blues]

[It's a bird! It's a plane! Nope, it's a drunk super hero and he just dropped his bottle of beer while flying.

It lands a few feet away from her and shatters to pieces.

He slowly flies down and makes an unsteady landing, waving at the girl.]

☠☠☠☠, sorry about that one.

Those ☠☠☠☠ are slippery.

[gingerbatgirl]

[She should probably be more phased by the smashing glass or the random drunk superhero than she is. But she's not. When the bottle lands she just looks over at it for a moment before looking over at the man and watching him land]

Should you really be drinking while flying?

[heartstar_blues]

Look at the sky, what am I going to hit?

Besides, I haven't had thaaat much.

[gingerbatgirl]

I'd be more concerned about falling out of the sky. Or dropping one of those bottles on someone's head. [But then she shrugs] But you're a grown man so you can do what you want, I guess. And I could probably argue the "haven't had that much" point, but I won't. [It's pretty pointless to discourage people from drinking a lot anyway. She learned that from experience with her father]

[Phone]

[igotthisdown]

... Barbara?

[Phone]

[gingerbatgirl]

Yes? Who's this? [Oh look, another voice she doesn't recognize. This is seriously becoming a thing. And this one sounds young]

[igotthisdown]

It's me, Tim!

[gingerbatgirl]

Tim...who?
