Kneeling over the side of the agreed rooftop I was waiting for Nightwing; he was late by a few minutes but I suspected as much. After another minute I heard the soft thud and walking beside me; turning to look at him he has an aloof smile "I shouldn't be surprised that you're here as expected on time." Nodding my head and standing; he holds the calm smile since the nights patrol started. "Alright for the next hour or so we'll just be taking it easy; nothing big just small guys. Though tonight wasn't all that crazy." So we'll just be doing as though we were separated, as expected. Lifting my mask just slightly "Are we to keep an eye out for anything serious." I held a flat monotonous voice "Well. There was said to be some meeting with a few questionable figures that we need to check out." Setting my mask back into place I give a single nod of the head. "B gave me the coordinates of where it'll be at; granted it's nothing surprising where it's at." Wearhouses are the most unoriginal and cliche location. The Court has been meeting and even greater hiding locations. Nightwing sent me the coordinates and getting a quick look we were both off getting to a more quieter side for east end of Gotham. Leaping from the edge going into a free fall till we was level with other building for easier grapple; pulling it out and lodging it into the side of a building and pulls me to the roof.

Taking about 20 minutes to get this meeting location; silently landing on the roof of the wearhouse you could hear voices coming from the inside. Nightwings eyes narrowed at the sound "Why am I not surprised it's Penguin; I was expecting a challenge." So it's low tier villain but one that's strictly from Gotham with some mob boss around here as well. Sneaking over to the skylight and look down it just appeared to be a trade off but Penguin wasn't being entirely honest on the deal from the scream of the mob boss. Nightwing had moved to the other of the roof where a second skylight was positioned; giving me a look I nod and we both jump down breaking through the glass, but I threw some knives to take the lights out effortlessly. Landing on the ground all the goons was panicking about it being Batman and started randomly shooting off their guns. Using the chaos I weave through the string of bullets flying around and again effortlessly take down a few men. But even I had to take cover eventually; can't get too carried away till I can get a hybernation pod. Penguin yells out for everyone to cease fire "You morons turn the damn flashlights on; you'll kill me at this rate." With the building was flooded with the small lights but they got a head count to find they had significantly less men than they started with. The other man that was had used the chaos as well and got away; I'll hunt him down later. "Man penguin you've gone to stoop so low you'll work guys like those; you've got to be hurting." Nightwing was hidden in rafters of the ceiling "Waahh; it's one of the bat brats." "Yeah and I didn't come alone." Pulling out my kunai I wrap it around a goon closest to me and drag him into the shadows promptly knocking him unconscious "Sorry she doesn't speak much." Nightwing jumped down in the middle of three men; using the taser on the escrima stick and taking the two in front of him down by jabbing it in their back. The one behind him tried to use the butt of the gun to hit the back of Nightwings head but I've ran and jumped over landing a kick to hit face and slammed his head into the ground. Turning to stand next to him, he nods his head and we proceed to take down the rest.
*Time skip cause I really can't do fight scenes*

Finding ourselves on a rooftop again we watch as the police take care of the tied up goons and leading Penguin to a armored truck. Nightwing was sat at the edge of it as I stood beside him "You did good; as in not killing anyone and even not putting them in a hospital." Slightly lifting my mask I spoke the same as before "It was considered a mission parameter." He looks over at me his eyes slightly widened "So you did it only cause it was jokingly said not to; would you have if you wasn't." Tilting my own head slightly "No. I would not have. They wouldn't be considered any level of threat for elimination." He breath a heavy sigh "Um how badly does a talon mindset take over when you suit up." I blink; thinking for a moment "That I am unsure. Not enough to make do such work but enough to make others concerned. It is something that I apparently need to work on." Nightwing shakes his head shooting up to his feet "No; it's something we'll all help you work on. You're not alone in this." "It would better if I do so, unlikely for any possible injuries or unpleasant moments." He crosses his arms over his chest; obviously making a point of standing his ground "We're going to help you." "Do as you wish, I am in no power to stop you." Setting the mask back down Nightwing calls for his bike and it arrives in the alley next to us; we both jump down and get on, heading back to the cave. "Did you figure out a name for you to use." Tilting my head again and lifting the mask "I don't understand the use of names." "It's not only for the public to use but for the hero community as well." "Can it be anything." "Well yeah." Taking another moment before I speak I feel him freeze as the name comes out "Sparrow." "You. You remember. You remember that." "Poorly but it's there." He lets out a breathy laugh and speeds off "I was hoping you would."
