Black Cat has posed:
Black Cat hasn't heard much from Red Hood about the Outlaws recently. So, she makes the trip into Gotham to the abandoned subway platform where the group is supposed to be based out of. Rather than walking right in, however, the theif tried sneaking in. There's all those lovely upper balconies inside, perfect for a cat burglar like herself. Even moving carefully to avoid or disarm alarms and camera systems, Black Cat quickly maes her way onto one of those balconies, slipping in through a skylight and landing with nary a sound in a crouched and ready posistion.

Red Hood has posed:
When she arrives she finds that work has been done, clearly. A lot of the subway tunnel has been cleared out, for one, and it looks like the once closed off tyunnel now connects with other subway tunnels in the city (Though the track is long gone). Parked on the track is a 1967 Mustang hardtop, black. Also, there is a vintage motorcycle parked beside it. He can likely drive ina dn out through the utility tunnels. The area has been cleaned up, and hand-me-down sofas and chairs and tables have been setup on various platforms and the main ground, making the place feel homey. A big computer system with multiple screens is setup in one cornher, and it looks like a bedroom or two off to the side. Jason, currently, is passed out on a couch, the television nearby muted. He is dressed in a sleeveless shirt and a pair of those pajama pants with the button in front. He snores softly, clearly tired from LOTS of work going into the place.

Black Cat has posed:
At least he has good taste, Black Cat thinks to herself when she sees the car and motorcycle. The sounds of Red hood sleeping catch her attention and seeing him on the couch draws a smirk. Quietly, Black Cat makes her way to the impromptu kitchen, quietly filling a glass of water. She makes her way stealthly towards the couch, her goal to give Red Hood a rather rude and wet awakening by dumping the water on his head...

Red Hood has posed:
He is professionally paranoid...but he brought her onto the team because she is profesionally sneaky. When she gets close he turns over a bit and mumbles something in his sleep that sounds a LOT like 'Black Cat' or something along those lines. He snorts in his sleep, smacks his lips, and goes back to snoozing.

Black Cat has posed:
The semi-awake mention of her name causes Black Cat to freeze in place. but Red hood falls asleep again. Or at least, pretends to fall asleep; he's not the only one with paranoid instincts. So, Cat makes the compromise of moving just a bit closer to the sleeping vigilante, but not all the way to within arm's reach. Then, she tosses the water out of the glass and in the direction of Red Hood's head.

Red Hood has posed:
He is hit with the water, and he springs up with a cry. His hand pulls a large pistol from under his pillow, and it ends up levelled at the masked beauty. He blinks and then sputters, before lowering the weapon and brushing wet hair from his bright blue eyes. "What the hell?!"

He glances down at himself, as the water hit his shirt as well. Thankfully his pajama pants are not soaked.

Black Cat has posed:
"Rise and shine, sleepy-head," Black Cat says with a smirk. She sets the now emptied glass down on a table. With this act, however, she does at least give Red Hood a nice view of her profile bending over to wake up to. "The security around here sucks. Big time." She straightens back up and crosses her arms, looking at him. "Please tell me you were planning on calling me to arrange for the security systems for our clubhouse?"

Red Hood has posed:
He growls softly, but he certainly takes in that amazing profile. "Haven't finished installing any of that yet. Have to build or get some first. One step at a time." Jason smirks a bit and nods, leaning back in his seat before he realises he was still effected by both his dream, and waking up fresh. he leans forward and crosses an arm 'subtely' across his lap. Hey, men are weak when first waking up! He tries to hide a certain effect she has. "Of course. I figure if any of us know about that kind of shit, it'd be you. There are a few more of us now, by the way...and hoping for more."

Black Cat has posed:
Black Cat definately notices the position Red Hood places himself in; it's all part of the playful game she likes inflicting on men. His attempt at modesty definately amuses her. "Okay, so the membership's grown," she says, stepping back a few paces and sitting on a sofa. "The big question is....what are we doing? I mean, do you have any plans or patrols or asignments? When to the Outlaws actually go into action?"

Red Hood has posed:
He furrows his brow a bit. "Good question, really. I want to try and get everyone together to talk. You, Faith, Melter. We need to sit down and plan it all out. Melter , Faith and I all live here, so...that bit is easy. You're the only one who doesn't so far." He cocks his head to the side, watching her, gaze dipping idly.

Black Cat has posed:
Black Cat rolls her eyes and sighs. "Is it my fault that I have certain standards of where I sleep? Okay. Starting tonight, I'll arrange for a stay at the Gotham Savoy. I'll check in under the name Felicia Black." She's trusting Red hood, and the group, to a point, but not with her real identity. More trust needs to be eastablished there first. "Let me know when we're going to have the pow-wow and I'll be here."

Red Hood has posed:
He smirks a bit, and then he nods. "Alright. Sounds good. I'll put the word out to you as soon as it all gets going. And yeah, if you can figure out some decent security for this place, do it. So far it's just been my ass doing evertything." Jason rises to his feet, not caring if he is showing anymore. He strolls over to one of the arcade games and presses a few buttons idly, glancing at the screen. "I figure you might know a few baddies that need to eb taken down a few notches...don't you?"

Black Cat has posed:
Black Cat smiles in a seductive manner that is instinctual for her. "I probably do at that," she says in response to the question. She takes a quick look around at the huge space that the headquarters represents. "Good security's going to be expensive. I don't think you're going to want to set up a Go Fund Me Page for this, so you'd better have access to at least a hundred and fifty thousand to get this place locked down tight and keep random homeless people from popping in as the please."

Red Hood has posed:
He clears his throat as he takes in that seductive smile, and then he nods. "Don't have that kind of cash, but I'mk sure we can get our hands on it. Rob the right piggy banks, as it were." He turns and leans back against the arcade game, crossing his arms over his chest. "I figure that could be one of our first real missions."

Black Cat has posed:
"Good plan," Black Cat agrees with a nod. "If you want, I can set somethign up for us. Something challenging but not deadly to use as a team-building exercise as well? We could even do a couple jobs like that at a 'baby steps' level, if you don't want to toss us all into the pool at once."

Red Hood has posed:
The man considers that before he nods. "I like it. A good start for us all." He brushes his fingers back through his damp hair. "So, that is step one. Steal a bunch of money so we can have decent security here...and hurt some crooks in the process."

Black Cat has posed:
"How good are the others at infiltration?" Black Cat leans forward, feeling a bit of a thrill figuring out the details of a heist. She normally works alone, but she's in this group for the time being, and she needs to know who and what she has to work with. "Too much to hope that some of them have actual breaking & entering experience?"

Red Hood has posed:
"No clue. One is a superhuman vampire slayer with an attitude and drinking problem. The other is a guy who...well...he melts things." He shrugs and chuckles softly. "Kind of meant for this group to be a place for misfits, and it is definatly turning into that..."

Black Cat has posed:
"Yeah, it sure is..." Black Cat pouts a bit. "Okay. Not great, but not hopeless. Melting guy can actually be useful in a heist. At least I know what I'm working with, now. I'm going to assume the vampire slayer can handle her own in a fight, but how about Melting Man? Do you think he has the chops to survive a fight?"

Red Hood has posed:
"Not sure. Batman and I rescued him from a racist militia group who had kidnapped him and a bunch of little kid mutants. Offered him a place." He makes his way into the kitchen and grabs a beer from the fridge, taking a long pull once it is opened. "Faith can definatly handle herself in a fight, though. I can try people who need it, though. I -was- traided by Bats, afterall."

Black Cat has posed:
Black Cat nods thoughtfully. "You think you might be able to take the guy out on a patrol with you? See how he does pounding on some gang-bangers and muggers, first? I'll take Faith with me on a quickie heist, make sure she can listen to instructions and play an assigned role. A job that I could do by myself, but it's more a trial run for her."

Red Hood has posed:
"Sounds perfect." He rolls his shoulders and makes his way back over to the couch with his beer, before dropping back onto it and getting comfortable. "Give us both a chance to see them in action, and then we'll fo a fourway." He pauses and shrugs. "Eh, you know what I mean."

Black Cat has posed:
The corner of Black Cat's lips rises up slightly. "Down boy. We're not pairing off for double dating here. This is strictly professional vigilantism and thievery. But yes. I get your meaning." Again, she looks around the headquarters, sighing. "Okay. I'll put in some seed money for the security. But I get 2/3rds of our take, off the top, including my own split of what's left, until my investment is recouped. Fair?"

Red Hood has posed:
Red Hood smirks a bit at that and nods. "I hadn't evewn thought about cuts yeah. Not all of our jobs will be thievery, afgter all. We're -heroes-. Just...fucked up ones. When we do steal, it's robbing from criminals and such."

Black Cat has posed:
"I've never had a problem with that," Black Cat says with a sly smile. Of course, certain others *do* have a problem with that... "And you'd better think about cuts. We might be heroes, but we also have to make a living. Stealing from the crooks means that we don't have to work day jobs and can be heroes more often and with less complications." Well, at least that's her logic about why the others would be okay with taking from the criminals. "After we do a few simple runs, you might want to start tracking down stuff like drug smuggling. Criminals that are going to have a lot of cash on hand. Once you're sure the others are ready for something like that. It can even be an occasional lure. We hit a drug shipment, beat the dealers and buyers to a pulp, take the money, torch the product. Someone's going to be pissed and they'll send a bigger shipment with more men. We take that shipment down, beat down the bad guys, but leave the drugs and money for the cops to build a case on. We don't need to be constantly jacking smugglers for a few million in cash all the time. First rule of being a thief: don't get greedy. Plus, it lets the cops feel good and they get to show the public that they're 'making a difference'. They get some good PR and it reduces their incentive to try and find us."

Red Hood has posed:
The man lounges back on the couch as he takes all of that in. He watches her as she talks, but isn't checking her out now...he is simply listening. Taking it all in. In the end he nods and loops an arm over the back of the couch. "Sounds pretty perfect, actually. So, how about we start with you taking Faith out, and me taking Melter. See how that all works out, and then we'll plan the first job. We'll get moving from there."

Black Cat has posed:
Black Cat nods and stands up, taking a long, languid stretch while she's at it that definately shows off her body. "That's a plan, then," she says, resting back on her feet and bringing her hands down to her sides. "I'll set up the security arrangements and start my stay at the Savoy. Let me know when you're ready for the meeting with Faith and Melter to go over all of this."

Red Hood has posed:
Jason pretty much has eyes as big as saucers as he takes in her stretching form. He then nods a bit, taking a second or two to get his brain back into the proper gear. "Right. Sounds good. I should get to...I dunno...workiing on my car or something. Need to work off some energy before Melter and Faith get back..."

Black Cat has posed:
Black Cat smiles and glances at Red Hood seductively. "You need to work something off," she quips with an eyebrow raised in amusement. "Alright. Check back with me later, then." She shoots one of her grapling lines at a balcony and rides the line all the way up. A flip over the railing, then the Cat makes for the exit to set her part of the plan into motion.
