David Akenda (207) has posed:
A new arrival into the poorer areas of Gotham City. Another street rat, this young boy of oriental decent has to be barely 15 if that. And as such he has jumped off a train that leads to the docks and is now howing to get lost in the darkness and shadows. His clothes are fit for it, dirty, messy haired, perhaps a bit scrawny as he has some sort of tube on his back under his back pack.

As he moves past some alleys some thugs, grown men three of them have cornered him. Two in front, one behind as one holds aknife, the other a pair of Brass Knuckles. Pounding his fists the Boy oddly does not look the least bit intimidated. As once of them the one with the knife says, "These here's a Toll road, and you gotta OMPH."

He doesn;t even get a chance to finish as the young man has lunges reaching out to grab his wrist twisting it with enough force to outright break his wrist. a hard Elbow to the ribs on the right side and a scream followed by a crack of breaking ribs.

His two friends are taken back by the sheer level of speed. All this in one fluid movement as he turns around and with the right arm he brings the elbow right down on his should pulling the arm down bending it at this unnatural angle. The boy's face one of almost pure hated and sadisitc gleet as a swift kick breaks the guy's right knee. As he is left on the ground screaming in pain.

The guy with the knuckles takes a runing lunge at the young man as he grabs hold of the wrist and then pulls it down to make the the thug Land on his back as the third guy lunches with a amulinium baseball bat. and he reaches for that cloth covered object one his back and SHINK, Instantly he has a sword in his hand as he expertly blocks the bat swing. As more of the thugs from their group see what is going down....

Hawkeye (Bishop) has posed:
Hawkeye happened to be patrolling the docks, watching from atop a warehouse. She has spied the young man exiting a train in a less-than-normal way and started to track him with her macrovision glasses. She moved as needed to retain the trail until he ended up in an alley and started decimating a gang. "Hey, kid!" she shouted from a rooftop. "Leave those people alone!"

Batwoman has posed:
Batwoman is patrolling the city tonight. She hasn't been seen streetside since that decision was made, fluttering from rooftop to rooftop in a wing made of black and lined in crimson. Hair almost the colour of blood flutters across her shoulders and won her back. The woman is masked of course, wearing a suiit of black armor with a red bat emblazoned across it as her sigil. She's been watching the docks tonight. Just a hunch, really. With a train coming in nearby it would make sense for things to be live today...

Batwoman was a few rooftops away when the shouting began. She set into a spritn, jumping easily from rooftop to rooftop with her cape to give her bouyancy for the jumps. Blue eyes snapped to Hawkeye when she began to scream and then takes a deep breath. This is her city. A lot of those people are familiar- unwelcome- faces. So the woman takes a deep beath. "You should all stop," she calls in a richly seductive mezzo-soprano voice. All that is visible of her is a shadow against a wall beside the conflict, for now. "And you guys better run before that kid kills you all."

David Akenda (207) has posed:
As the Guy with the base ball back is deflected his buddy on the ground has drawn a gun. Pointing it right at the kid as the young man turns just intime to see it.

Too late! the guy pulls the trigger!

And then his gun just seemed to fall to peices?

The Gang running to support their friends suddenly have a new problem, because the boy makes a Chopping motion right at the lamp posts on either side of the streets. A V like slice, and almost imperceptively came a small flash, a glow like a fine wire caught in just the right angle of light and isntantly the two lamp posts just slide down and fall over to the street blocking the path of the Gang! Causing them to stop in their Tracks Right now the Gang can see the kid as the Guy with the bat stands up and then he is swinging his baseball bat down and instantly it is caught when the kid turns around, gossamer strands of lights shimmer and shine and then instantly a yank of his hand and the baseball bat goes to peices.

"Imagine what I can do to flesh and bone." is all he says to the gang member and right now the Gang realizing they have two costumed heroes, one who looks like a bat, and one crazy ass kid, the leaders says they'll find him later and show him the meaning of respect... as at this point safe for the one on the ground who is left behind they seem to be escaping.

Hawkeye (Bishop) has posed:
Hawkeye notices things, that's what she does. Plus, she had her glasses set to low-light. "Huh. Monomolecular wire?" she asks herself as various things fall apart in odd ways after a flash. "She does note that the kid doesn't make good on his threat to the man on the ground, thnankfully. "Good plan, guy." She steps up onto the edge of the rooftop, to reveal herself more fully to the thug on the ground. "Now's the time to run. Best would be to run to the police and confess to whatever you might have done recently. Safer for you im jail for the night."

Batwoman has posed:
When thugs take off in all directions Batwoman tenses like she might follow but then she takes a deep breath. Hawkeye's summary of the situation draws a nod and the redheaded bat keeps her place on the building where she is above any anchor points. She even surveys her surroundings, counting the various places where a wire could be dangling. For now the caped soldier keeps herself oout of sight, using the darkness and low rooftop cover to shield herself from potential assaults. She's just a wavering, distorted shadow. Most people would mistake her for Batman if not for the female voice. "So," Batwoman calls. "Who are you, kid?" The thugs are a lost cause.

David Akenda (207) has posed:
The Kid totally ignores the Batwoman and Hawkas the guy struggles to get up as he takes the hint instantly those wires comes around lashing around his throat and the depressions of wires come as the guy grabs for his throat with one hand and he is being strangled for a brief moment, before he catches his breath. He hasn't lost his head, yet, but one wrong move might to that as the young man slowly walks up to him.

Looking the man right in the eye he says. "Tell your friends... I have absolutely nothing left to loose. And turning your Crew into bloody piles of dog food, won't cost me anything." And then he lets the guy go as the boy starts to move away. His voice devoid of emotions as he turns around his eyes almost filled with rage, a desire to kill, to destory to vent that rage on anything around him. "Someone who has nothing to loose." And at that point he starts to walk down the street once more sheathing his sword on his back. it is as if he doesn't care who they are doesn't care for anything in the world.

Hawkeye (Bishop) has posed:
Hawkeye sighs and rolls her eyes behind her glasses. "I don't paid enough for this..." she complains. "... oh, right. I don't get paid for it at all." she fnishes in a mutter. "Hey, kid!" she calls down as David starts to move away. "Where're you going? I... we were talking to you!"

Batwoman has posed:
Batwoman is shadowing as well, though it is more obvious from the absence of her visible presence than anything else. It migth at first seem that she had fled the scene but from Hawkeye's vantage point she can see the other woman nearby, a hand o nher utility belt. She inclines her head toward the ground, toward where David had been fighting. Like asking a silent question. Then she calls aloud, "If you keep this up someone is really going to get hurt." A beat. "Where are your parents...?"

David Akenda (207) has posed:
The young boy keeps walking, he hears them but he looks around for something. And then Spots a subway entrance. Oh the level of disrepect the boy is showing these heroes. And he alters his path accordingly. He;s too much in survival mode, he's actually not ignoring them. He is keeping his head tilted in such away that he can keep track of them. He just doesn't seem to care. Final he stops as he turns to look at the pair.

"Murdered in front of my eyes by a man my father called brother, who then tried to murder me for the crimes my ancestors against his clan, seven hundred years ago. Who's clan has destroyed everything my family has built. And unless you have Togashi Kaji's head on a silver platter. We are done talking." he says once more turning around and heading to the subway entrance.

Hawkeye (Bishop) has posed:
Hawkeye doesn't try to stop the guy, but she does look over to the Bat-person in the shadows. "Do you need a sidekick? He seems old enough. Dangerous kids with tragic pasts that need to be steered in the right direction make the best junior partners, right? Maybe Batman or one of you other lurkers?" she asks. She takes a couple of steps back, in case Monomolecular Boy lashes out at her.

Batwoman has posed:
"A sidekick? I work alone. Besides, he'd have to stop and talk..." Batwoman is visibly considring her options, at least to Hawkeye, who is actually allowed a glimpse of her. Thenshe takes a deep breath and slowly exhales, watching as David continues into the night. She sighs softly and then an instant later Batwoman disappears into the night in a manner not at all dissimilar to her forebear.
