- Robin (Wayne) has posed:
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!"
Lights spark to life to shine upon a ring, similarly to a UFC octagon, except the cage goes all the way to the ceiling and seems made of strange materials with an electrified security measure for a shockingly good time.
"Welcome to Meta-Brawl! I am your host, Roulette-" The woman in a stunning red dress and her hair pulled back into a long braided ponytail that almost touches the floor. "Today, we have a great treat for you greedy sharks today-"
She gestures to the ring. "First, we have Gotham City's own Lucha TIIIITAAAAN!" A large man with a luchador mask crushes a Boulder in his hands, seemingly taking the physical appearance of stone itself, roaring as people cheer. "And in the other corner, from Metropolis, Aquarius!" The seeming Atlantean possesses scaly skin and hands dripping with ice shards, snarling at his opponent .
The fight begins.
Damian was here, watching the proceedings. He's dressed in anonymous clothing, a hood over his head, hands in his pockets, green eyes staring ahead. He's watching. Recording. Looking for cameras, armed men.
- Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary had on a scarlet wig and her legs as distractions from her face. Hard to be anonymous in the Justice League, but when you stand next to Wonder Woman, anyone's face can be hard to recall. Most people don't look at her face first anyway. Her clothing is appropriately scandalous, letting her blend in among the arm candy to the various gamblers and underworld types, too focused on the action in the ring and the money they won and lost.
She's about to approach a table of said gamblers, one in particular she was on the trail of, when she spots the boy in the hoodie. She shifts targets momentarily to intersect with him, brushing her shoulder against his as she passes.
"That one's mine, little wings. Find your own prey."
- Robin (Wayne) has posed:
Don't let Damian hear you call him boy.
Even still, as Damian watched, he feels a little bump across his shoulder. The blasts of ice and water and the rumblings of shaking earth do nothing to distract Damian from the words that come next. Others may have been completely seduced by the Black Canary's attractive attire and long legs, but Damian is not so distracted.
As she bumps past him, he reaches for her arm, as if to pull her against him in such a way it oooks as though Damian is either aggressively flirting or demanding someone his money back.
"I did find my own prey, bird. Two birds can hunt the same."
- Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary shoves herself back until her back slams into his chest hard, but the way she worked the leverage, it makes it look like he's the one being violent, yanking her back into him roughly. She lets out a victim's squeal. "Careful, don't want to alert security, do we?" she says, fluttering her eyelashes like a mob girl.
Only her voice is low, quiet steel. "I don't want him taken yet. I need him to lead me somewhere. But I'll kick him a few extra times on your behalf?"
- Robin (Wayne) has posed:
Two can play this game.
Dinah slams her back into him, briefly making him exhale air from his lungs and his feet stumble back until he hits a wall, attempting both to make it appear as though they are merely passionate in their dealings and to get them a bit more out of sight.
"Squeal and both of our covers get blown. All they need is one shout and we're both fighting out of here." Damian tells her with narrowed eyes, meeting her own. Despite the close proximity, Damian seems focused.
"Lead you where? Seduction is a good trick until you find a better fighter. We can both do this."
Against his pride.
- Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary snorts, "Don't get too big for your britches. You're not in my league yet," she says fiercely.
She shakes herself free and turns to face the young hero.
"He's meeting a contact tonight to attempt to buy some stolen STAR Labs tech. He's the only lead I have on the thief right now," she says. "And I don't need a punch happy hotshot screwing up my surveillance. I can handle myself just fine, don't you worry about me. If you want a fight, I saw Rocco Benneti over by the bar, I know he has at least three assault and battery warrants."
- Robin (Wayne) has posed:
"Please." Damian retorts. "I /invented/ your league." The *arrogance*cof this guy. The tension was rising between them as he's forced to release her and finds himself face to face. "Punch happy? I'm not the one showing up in lingerie with intention to beat a contact into information. There's more at work here than a STAR labs heist -" He points at the fight. "Like the metahuman trafficking ring it inspired." Damian meets her eyes then, meeting her aggression.
"I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about an informant too stubborn to give information because he's afraid of someone else more than you. I already have Benneti tagged."
His 'Batman' is on full display. His father's son.
"I have bigger fish to fry."

- Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary narrows her eyes, "Afraid of who exactly? What bigger fish?"
She makes sure to block him from going out of where they've gotten themselves off to the side, "Fine, you share what you know and I'll share what I know. Maybe between the two of us, we can both have a complete picture. And that simple lab heist could lead to megaweapons capable of taking down entire cities, so excuse me for perhaps being a little focused on the task at hand," she says.
She takes a deep breath, sighs, holds up a hand, "Look, we both got heated. Truce, okay? We're on the same side, right?"
- Robin (Wayne) has posed:
"/Exactly/. We don't have the full picture. Too many unknown variables.."
Damian meets her gaze and looks about to retort to her claim of a mega weapon heist and he takes a deep breath. "Truce." Damian agrees, looking to his side as he turns his back to everything else and puts a hand next to her head, the other on his hip. Body language makes people uncomfortable when they think they are interrupting something.
"I'm looking for Jack Briar. He's a ringleader of the metahuman trafficking ring and I've heard he may have been part of Mission Control regarding a particular STAR labs heist, but I don't know specifics. I don't know why they need metahuman a, but gladiatorial entertainment can't be all."
He sighs.
"Your turn. What did they steal from Star Labs and who is the target?"
