Batman has posed:
It was night, but the city wasn't Gotham. Currently in Metropolis Batgirls watch would lightly buzz her it doesn't hurt more feel wierd or anything new tech that Batman wears himself for some notifications in his suit. Batgirl was knowing it was time for another mission in Gotham as Batman did not just leave her with Diana. Unknown to the League he would call her out many times after they have all gone to sleep as it was time to work, as he did not care about the other League members... feelings. He waited for her landing in the Bat-Jet landing only long enough to pick her up, and launch again quietly into the night running in stealth mode to cover detection. Batman is totally quiet as he landing, picked up Batgirl, and launched again focused on his goal they are flying back before he speaks.

"We are on a capture tonight, but our opponent is well trained. Ra's Al'Ghul trained him himself, and I need to capture him without any permanent damange." he stops and looks at her.. "That includes broken bones." before he falls quiet again looking forward. "He is my son, but hidden from me for fifteen years.. Step one is to get him away from their influence, it maybe a trap though they already know much about me."

Now over Gotham with a bit more silence, Batman flicks a switch as the Bat-Plane has many enhanced scanning equipment and follows what trail he was able to track down before this. "You are plan B.. If he runs, if he fights make it silent, and quick, but remember the rules, and your tools." as a beep goes off, as it is time to go.

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    Batgirl nods, once. She is silent on the way home in the jet, and does not seem inclined to speak to Batman about the few days she was with Diana and her Embassy, or the rest of the League. Any insight she's gleaned, presently, she keeps to herself. All she gives without looking at Batman is a single, concise nod. No broken bones. But, nothing is said about nerve strikes. Or, torn ligaments. Just no broken bones.

    As they all near Gotham once again, she looks down at the skyline, memorizing the city's layout from this vantage as well. But she is ready. Ready, to fight. Be it Batman's son, or not.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian had been dressed as he was at his first meeting with Batman, black and white League of Assasins garb, he skipped the domino mask he wore at the fight club. The teenager was on top of the roof at Gotham Cathedral, shadow-sparring with his katana. He was dedicated, needing to keep his lethal skills on-point, despite not using them in actual combat.

  The teen flourished, jumping and dodging imaginary adversaries, motioning imaginary coups de gras as he took down each foe. He'd been well trained and well trained was an understatement. No one in the League had been given the attention and instruction as he did. He is the heir to Ra's Al Ghul, the boy destined to take his place as the head of the house of Al Ghul. He spent his nights among the rooftops, living in Gotham while waiting for Batman's sign of return. The boy had grown impatient, and one might see it in his swordplay. He was striking with much more force than necessary to engage muscle memory. This was a killer practicing his craft.

Batman has posed:
Batman drops out of the plan after turning on the Auto-pilot dropping down towards the dot now on his Bud (Batman Universal Display) dropping quickly from the sky towards his target. He knew how much momentum he could bleed off, so waited for the right time to extend his cloak and turn on the fabric making them wings to glide down quietly though he goes to land Directly behind him. He does this without a word, and already knows Batgirl has her own plan he doesn't even worry about looking back.

As he lands on the rooftop behind Damian he completly sticks the landing.. Making minimal noise going from flying to landing he quickly stands ready.. "Damian... It is time your coming with me." and he gives him the look like there isn't much a choice in this. He hasn't had time to move forward or anything, but if someone was reading his body languague it would say 'Approaching Rapidly' as he is going to keep coming.

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    Batgirl did indeed have a plan. Maybe one day she would find out where he got all those Wonderful Toys. But one thing she did know is that while her cape wasn't fitted yet to glide like Batman's, the man did have a plan for nearly every contingency. Even leaving the Batjet without his gliding cape. The collapsable glider is taken from it's hidden position behind the pilot's seat, and she ejects herself, eyes already tracking where Batman is going. About halfway down she expands the glider - her costume, the glider, the sky, black - on black - on black. She's almost impossible to see, and she winds the glider behind Batman's position, to thus approach Damian, and the Batman from the other side that the Caped Crusader is approaching rapidly from.
    She lands, nearly soundlessly, folds the glider up and stores it somewhere secure, safe, for later retrival briefly before running, jumping, and hitting he roof to approach Damian quietly from behind.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
    Damian had numbed his mind out of the here and now, focusing on his little fantasy. Then he had heard Batman calling him. He turns around, katana at the ready. The boy jumps up into a backflip, half attempting to dodge his father, half making sure he didn't stab the man. "What the hell?!" He exclaims, lowering the sword not sure what exactly Batman is playing at with this kidnapping vibe. It was indeed hard for Damian to make out Batgirl as she was behind him. She went unnoticed for a brief moment while Damian tried to figure out what was going on.

Batman has posed:
Batman continues forward arms up to swing away any blades though the boy back-flips away from him. He follows up with two Batarangs aimed at the boy though he was sure the training he has had he could deflect them, but that wasn't the point. When he got attention he made sure it was on him, to make his target focus only on him he was already jumping forward to push Damian back, or focus on him either way he knew she was back there.

There was no signal, or any sign to go as he trusted her to pick her own time. His hands were at the ready to deflect any blow, as he jumps right at the Boy looking at him eye to eye.

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    Batgirl knows things. Things that people shouldn't know. How to shut down the human body, piece, by piece. Or, how to kill. All with a single strike, at the correct point, the correct angle, in the human body. She clearly sees, understands what Batman is doing. She can see Damian's surprise. And, recognizes by his body language, too, that he doesn't see her. It gives her supreme advantage. So she moves up on the fighting pair, slowly, purposefully, quietly.
    There's a quick strike then, into the the back of Damian's main arm, the hand that is holding that sword to deaden it from moving, altogether.
    Control the flow of battle from the onset, and you've already won. It is the only strike she seees necessary to take, to make sure Batman can be heard, and the boy will strike no more.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian does deflect the two batarangs with his favored sword, before he suddenly felt nothing in his right arm, a sharp clang from the sword means he was disarmed. He couldn't control it any longer, which now placed him at a definite disadvantage. With his right arm dead to his side, the boy jumped up, performing a dual kick as he attempted to flee the scene. He had to rely on his size and his acrobatics to get him out of this situation. He knew going up against Batman alone would be a major challenge, but Batman, a Batgirl, and no dominant arm? This was a time to regroup.

Batman has posed:
As Batgirl strikes he see's that look in his eye, as he moves in closer he lets the first kick hit him, sure it stung especially since that is the spot Dresden hit him with that magic bolt thing, but he took it face unchanging wraping an arm around it, as he lowers his other and he continued to move forward. He knew no attack was coming from that side so as his arm comes up he snags something off the belt on the way.. He holds up a small canister attached to something that looked like you would see from an air-horn.

What comes out of the horn though isn't sound, but a small stream of air and a cloud of something Batman putting it close to his face as possible. "I am taking you away from the League.. You are coming with me." The gas from inside the device is a fast-acting strong knock-out gas that he had his science team develop for short range combat. If breathed it worked faster, but it also goes through the skin just being absorbed through the skin to the blood. Batman then moves more into a chase mode letting him get some distance so he will be able to chase him more easliy changing to Batarangs.

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    Batgirl read the double kick, smoothly moving out of the way as if she saw the move coming from a mile away. Which, to be fair, she almost kind of did. She sees what Batman is doing, and she moves away, cape held out in front of her to protect her from the gas effect, just in case the suit isn't thick enough. She moves back, and is already pulling out her own batarang, flinging it, not at Damian's head, but, at the back of the boy's leg, to bring him down before he gets near the edge of the roof.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     As he's caught by his own father, Damian struggles to let his leg be free, gritted teeth, and a high pitched groan from you young lad keep his mouth and nose wide open for the gas attack that Batman sprays close to his face. The world starts becoming fuzzy as he was let go, he was able to get a fair distance away before he'd been hit by a batarang to the leg, dropping to his knees. Damian attempted to get back to a vertical base, he groaned, before his legs gave way. "Y-you...bastard." He let out as he fell completely to the roof, unconscious.

Batman has posed:
Batman watches the boy go down, and frowns at his final words, but doesn't speak as he catches the falling down boy as he shoots forward picking him up, and tosses him over his shoulder. He pushes a button, and the Bat-plane comes down vertically next to the building top Batman looks at Batgirl, and nods. Jumping in with Damian he waits for her before taking them all to the Batcave.. Somewhere where he can actually talk to the boy, and talk to him without the League, or anyone else watching. He would scan him for any bugs, or mechanical devices so they don't have to be to transmitting in the back of the Bat-Jet as they flew the whole trip being very short-term.

He sighs, and puts the boy in a straight jacket attaching him to a metal chair he had prepaired. It had feet cuffs, wraps around the body to hold position, and even leg wraps on their own lock. Batman used the chair for practice in escaping, but he knew the time it took to get out of the chair was not quickly especially after all the tools have been removed. Batman sits in the suit in a chair across from him the cowl is off, but the rest of the Batsuit is on as he watches the boy.. After a moment of silence he looks at Damian. "I know your not sleeping... You do not display the involuntary muscle spasms that come with even light sleep.

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    By the time Damian is secured, and the effect of the nerve strike slowly disappating to give Damian feeling in his arm back, it's already too late. Batman has him in a straight jacket. Cuffed. And secured. Still, Batgirl is not lowering her guard. She stands in front of Damian, looming, like a creepy shadow scarecrow of a Bat, her eyes black, and the part of the mask that ought to reveal her mouth and chin patchworked over, sewn closed with more black fabric. The eyeless mask, though, is still gazing down at him, as if she were not content he were secured. Ready to strike again, should the need arise.
    A bodyguard, for the Bat, perhaps? Perhaps. Allowing Batman to divert his mental acuities to the more important task at hand.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     "Clever, Father." Damian says, opening his eyes. Immediately struggling against the strait jacket. "What, you don't trust me?" He asks, looking down at just how restrained he was, calculating how long it would take him to escape these bonds. "I would have come with you if you hadn't jumped me." He says, looking back up at his father, seeing his true face for the very first time. "And who's this?" He motions to Cassandra with her head. Damian struggled against his restraints more. The boy seethed a bit. "Let me go!" He yelled, growing tired of this game, as he saw it. "I'm your son, not your prisoner!"

Batman has posed:
Batman watches Damian closesly as he starts to struggle Batman raises a stop-watch, and turns it on. "You have 2 minutes, and you should be free enough. But you needed to be removed from the grid. Your Mother, and Grandfather keep a close watch on you even if you don't know it." he pauses, and leans back looking at him. "I know who you are, and where you came from.. I had to show you what you would be against if you choose them." he stands, and turns looking around the Batcave. "I also know what kind of tricks they play with your mind there.. How they try to be the prefect beings.. I needed you to know they are not that. Knowing that the rest will unravel."

He turns and looks at him, "We offer you another choice.. One that will keep you active, but efficent... though it is turning yor back on the League, and what they stand for." he nods at Batgirl, "If you chose them I will let you go, but if you kill anyone in my city... next time it will not be the Batcave you end up in... The choice is simple I just needed to hold you in one place long enough to make it."

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    Cassandra's eyes are watching Damian, unbeknownst perhaps to the boy, reading every single nuance of not just micro emotion on the face, but more subtle reactions, even constrained, will give the truth to her of his words, versus his thoughts. A living lie detector. And so much more. Like, the creepy statue she remains. Unmoving. Like a dark gargoyle. Waiting to pounce.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian looks to the stop watch, and rolls his eyes. He manipulates his torso and neck, bringing up something in his mouth, Batman and Batgirl could see his teeth clenching it. The teen slipped the arms of the jacket above his head, allowing him to slip out of the jacket, and spit out the pin. "The League doesn't know I'm here, I spent weeks out there looking for you, I would have seen any of their agents." After manipulating a few tumblers with his right hand, he is free from the torso strap, then onto the leg wraps. "And what can you offer me that they haven't already done?" He offers, finishing the locks on the leg cuffs. An obvious test, and a challenging one, he finishes at a second before the time limit.

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    Cassandra says nothing. But she nods once, to Batman, almost imperceptibly. The boy is telling the truth. At least, he thinks he is.

Batman has posed:
Batman shakes his head, and pulls the cowl back on, "How do you think I knew? Your mother returned to Gotham shortly after you did.. He League still has its eye on you even though they are well connected with more then just other League agents." he stops the time piece, as you break out. Looking at it he holds it out.. "Your ten seconds slow.." moving away from him back to the Bat-Plane. "Alfred will show you to your room.. Get used to the place I will be back after I return Batgirl." he jumps up, and into the plane. "If your gone when I come back that is up to you.. I can't make that decision for you. If you stay we will begin to see where your at in training,"

Then he sits in the plane, and as Cass joins him. The plane turns to face the other way as it shoots out of the Batcave.. He flies her back to the other League he left her with before quietly before he speaks up as they land.. "Do I need to worry? Or do you have this?" not meaning the mission to kidnap Damian obviously. He doesn't ask her details, or anything else just to check up, but if there was something she wanted to tell him. Figureing he gets an afermative he lets her go to fly away again into the Night to head back to the Batcave.
