Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Lance stretches out after work - it's well after sunset. She is wearing an old T-Shirt from a Renaissance fair and a pair of capris. She is reading a newspaper. There is a TV in the corner of the living room - but it's off. She hmmmmmms happily, having a few bruises showing on her arms from the derailed train. They're healing up nicely though. She so envies young Autumn whose ring provides enhanced healing. She flips to the comics page, smiling at the Dilbert comic.

Batman has posed:
As he finishes his first run of the city, Batman has decided to place a visit to Canary. He knows where she lives, and everything about the woman. He taps his ear piece and comms into the Justice League channel into Canary privately, "Canary. I suspect you wouldn't like me dropping in unnannouced. May I come in?"

The Dark Figure asks as he stands outside her window on the balcony. His cape fluttering slightly in the wind.

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Lance raises an eyebrow, nodding as she pops the window open. "Assumption confirmed, and permission granted," she muses as she invites you in. She waits for you to enter before talking further - she doesn't really like the earpiece, but keeps it in because the Justice League doesn't have off hours.

Batman has posed:
As he opens the balcony door, he calmly walks into the woman's loft. He slides the door behind him and gives the woman a curt nod. "It's more I don't feel like being sonic blasted through a wall for catching you off guard." He cocks his head to the side and hmmm, "You look like hell. Been busy I see?" Batman takes a few steps to the left to get out of the view of the balcony door.

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Lance shrugs. "You heard about the runaway train a few days ago?" she asks. "I was part of that. Nice to see you too, Bats." She smiles. "Beside, I don't want to wreck my home so I'd be more likely to kick you in the throat or something. What can I do for you?" she asks as she gestures to a seat nearby as she neatly folds the newspaper.

Batman has posed:
A soft smirk escapes the man at the woman's forward nature. "I did hear about it. However, I wanted to check in on you. One, to see how you are recovering." He removes a small packet and places it on the near by table. "An advanced complex of amino acids, and blood supporters that will help improve your healing. They aren't a healing factor but they do wonders for the soreness."

He looks over at the wall and the pictures, "Two...I wanted you view on the new Lantern. What do you think of the girl?"

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Lance picks up the packet, squinting to read the directions on it - to see if it's a pill or a powder to mix in water or something. "Autumn?" she asks. "She is brave and true. I've coming to learn that Lanterns are a valuable asset. If anyone deserved such a boon after what I would guess is a hard life, it's her." She nods slowly. "Do you always visit your friends in full costume, by the way?"

Batman has posed:
As he shrugs, and moves to lean against the wall, "Two-Face has been busy in Gotham. I was out on duty. I was on your side of town. I got those pills from a monk in Tibet. I figured you could use the help in getting mended up." He crosses his arms over his chest and his lips press into a fine line, "I suspect the girl's intentions are well. However, Batwoman is mentoring her. As I do not have an issue with Batwoman handling it. I am concened that the nature of the girl's ring being love is a dangerous thing." He grumbles, "Love can be blind, and with her being young, inexperienced she was going to confront Frost on her own. If she does I will take the ring away from her myself."

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Lance smiles softly. "Oh, Batwoman, Autumn, and I met up. We're going to take a bite out of crime." She smiles. "And... love can be dangerous. Consider the mama bear - consider what a mama bear can do to those who try to attack her cub." She hmmmmmmms. "She is brave - perhaps too brave and almost foolhardy. But her heart is in the right place." She ponders. "Perhaps we should try to get to know the nature of her powers greater. Oh, can I get you a drink?" she asks as she heads to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

Batman has posed:
Batman shakes his head, "No I won't be staying long. I need to get back to work." He is -always- working. "I do not want the girl going for Frost without you or Batwoman." His tone and voice gets cold and borderline dangerous, "I am not kidding. If she does. I will end her heroing days myself. She does not have a good reputation with the public and openly hunting the woman makes it look like she is trying to replace me." His eyes narrow, "I will not have the criminals of Gotham thinking I am being replaced by a love sick girl with the ability to wield the universe in her hands." He turns to look out the near-by window, "Take a two pills to start and one pill every 6 hours until the package is gone. You will be thirst and a desire to eat more. That means the amino acids are working." He smirks softly, "And you...might feel a bit...more romantic." Good for Ollie I guess? "But that is it for side affects. You will not have any sore muscles, and with the increase of oxygen flow to your body. Those bruises will be gone in 48 hours."

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Lance nods. "Thank you, Batman. We made a plan - the three of us will go together." She sighs softly. "She understands how dangerous this is - she could just leave Gotham. But she doesn't want to leave her home. I can understand that. If she gets out of control... we'll have to contact the elder Star Sapphire or maybe Green Lantern. Honestly, these Lanterns are just a bit above my pay grade."

Batman has posed:
Batman nods slowly as he turns to face Dinah, "I have tried to contact one of the Green Lanterns watching over earth. He has not gotten back to me. I am not even sure he is on earth." He frowns clearly, "I do not have a detailed file on the woman who is the 'elder' Star Sapphire. I just know that I don't trust her." He snorts like canvas ripping, "Something about her rubs me the wrong way. So just be careful...I do not want Autumn to think she has to leave Gotham. If I had my way...she wouldn't use her powers here. This is my city...not the Lantern Corp."

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Lance shrugs. "You know, I have often wondered: if you and I fought - no gadgets or tricks, no Canary Cry; just you and me in a brawl." She smiles. "I often wonder if I could take you. But that's beside the point. Yeah... we don't want to have Superman-level brawls here. I mean, other than my voice, I'm a normal woman."

Batman has posed:
As he slides open the balcony door, Batman hmmms, "Heal up Dinah. When I have a slow night and I know you are back to 100 percent. Maybe we can test that theory out. Until then...take the pills. Keep an eye on the girl...and keep your League comm open. I have something on the horizon for us soon and I will want you a part of it when the zeta tubes are online fully. Anything I should know before I head back to my patrol?" He asks with a slightly raised eyebrow.

Black Canary has posed:
Dinah Lance smiles. "Nothing. But I am honored you paid me a house call. I hope... that one day we can get to know each other better - no masks or the like. I bet that your real story is very interesting."

Batman has posed:
The Dark Knight turns with a florish of his cowl and does not answer the woman. As he leaps off the balcony, his cape extending outward as he glides down to the street in silence. The Bat-Mobile speeding down the street opening up just in time for the man to land flawlessly into the drivers seat! The hatch slides closed as the vechile never slows down and Bruce says to himself, "One day...maybe Dinah. We will see." As the man turns the corner on the prowl once again for Two-Face, Frost, or those who would do harm to Gotham City.
