Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake has called to set up the meeting for Doug's training since he has missed a few sessions. He gives him an address in Gotham instead of their normal place in New York. When Doug arrives he will see someone is trying to bring some new blood and money into the area. The old theater has been remolded into what seems to be a large home. The building itself has large bay windows and a balcony overlooking the street on the second floor. It seems well kept from the bushes in planter boxes out front to the high tech security panel beside the door.

Cypher has posed:
Doug has been busy. Almost died, school, helping someone set up a world changing business concern. Busy. "So the arm isn't cybernetic. I suppose you could call it a bionic. But it's a fulky integrated part of me. I have total control of it.". He holds it out, studying the play of the golden circuitry over techno-organic matter. "I just have no real idea of its capabilities yet."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods to the man as he explains about the arm "Interesting, I don't think I have ever really seen anything like it before." He will open the door to let Doug into the place. This is a very large home done in an open layout. The entryway has nooks set to each side where people can sit by the bay windows if they wish to look out There is stairs leading up to a second story near the area that is set up as the main ? sunken living room? A large comfortable couch along with other comfortable seating are in front of a large book case, with a mini bar area nearby and an upright player piano. One wall is half covered by a fish tank that has live coral in it along with a nice selection of fish. Beside the aquarium is a door leading to a small hallway with a spare bedroom, bath and coat closet off it. Near the back of the house if a full kitchen that seems to have been designed with a master chef in mind, all the bells and whistles for cooking most any type of meal. The walls are decorated with pictures of friends and works of art, a nice mixture of homey and classy. The upstairs is mostly done as a balcony around the main living are with rooms leading off it all around. These rooms range from the master bedroom, spare bedrooms, and the library. "Welcome to my home, been having it worked on for a while, it is finally fully done, so I have a place of my own.

Cypher has posed:
Doug Ramsey says, "Basil Karloff's physiology has similar properties as t/o matter, but is magnitudes less complex." He looks up and around, and whistles, slowly. "Very nice. I am glad I got to see it, even though I expect to be telepresent, not with you guys in meatspace.""

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake 's brow raises a bit and says "Oh, why do you not expect to be around in the real world? He will ask the other man "You going somewhere soon?" He will lead the man on a tour of the ground level, and then sem to be walking towards a blank wall.

Cypher has posed:
Doug Ramsey says, "Well, I have school and work, and commitments on top of that. I only know one man who can be multiple places at once.". Doug scratches his head, and then says "The old fake wall. Very nice.""

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods, and slides his hand behind the fish tank,a nd says open sesame, and the wall slides open and he leads Down into the Robin's Roost. It was originally built for the use of Red Robin, but has been enlarge to work as head quarters for the team of heroes known at the Outsiders It is a multi-level base of operations with a larger center shaft open in the center somewhat like an old underground missile silo.
     The top most level is set aside with rooms for people to crash if they need to. Some of the rooms are taken with name plates on them and some still free to be claimed. The is a section here set off as a rec room with TVs, games and a bank of PC type computers.
     The next level is set up with labs and scientific type of rooms, from the forensics computer lab, to the main computer room with it's vast view screens, and multiple computer systems. There is also a chemistry lab, as well as a couple rooms waiting to be set up as needed.
     The bottom level of the roost is the largest. From the vehicle bay that houses both the Redbird and his motorcycle, but also has room for two more cars and six or so more bikes before it starts to get crowded. It has all the equipment needed to for upkeep and maintenance on them. There is also a manufacturing area with 3d printers, machines to work metal, plastics, even wood and ceramics. The last of the bottom floor is taken up by a large gymnasium. It has everything one could want to work out in from standard work out equipment, to some set up specifically to deal with enhanced abilities. There is even room for practicing fighting and off to one side a target range that can be used for a vast array of ranged attacks.
     Through out the whole area there are plants set up to lessen the feel of an underground bunker, and give it a bit less sterile feeling. There are multiple exits from the base besides the one through the house above it. Tunnels leading out in different directions some big enough for vehicles some more normal sized hallways. These tunnels lead to hidden exits over a large area, most within a three block radius but a couple much farther out to hide the coming and going of the heroes.

Cypher has posed:
Doug Ramsey says, "Hmmmmmmmm." Doug looks around. "Not bad..." He reaches down and takes off his shoe, before he peels off his sock and artfully throws it onto the floor. "Now it's perfect.""

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake chuckles and shakes his head a bit to this and says "You want to decorate your rom like that sure, but I don't want the poor roomba to have to eat your sock." He jokes with the man "Grab it and follow me down to the gym we will work out a bit.

Cypher has posed:
Doug snatches up his sock and follows Tim, jumpung on one foot as he pulls it back on and gets his shoe on, and he says, "Ut's established law that shere oeople gather, loose socks will accumulate. I don't jnow how it wad for you, growing up, but you haven't known fear until a cheyenne who can fire a bullseye shot from her bow pours a bowl of cereal and a dirty sock come out of the box." He follows, game.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake chuckles and says "Na, ah learned to keep my stuff pretty neat pretty early on. When I was at home was just me and dad, and then at the mansion, felt bad if I was messy around and the butler had to clean it up.

Cypher has posed:
Doug Ramsey says, "We didn't have a butler. Just Magneto." Doug gives Tim a flat stare, then grins, big. That was a joke. ...Wasn't it?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake 's brow raises a bit and says "You went to school in genosha growing up?" He will ask the other man, as the only way he can think would have been around magneto. He will move to the training pad and looks over ok "Anything I need to know about the arm before training?'

Cypher has posed:
Doug shrugs. "I am finding out as I go.". He goes to change, and comes back in sweatsband a t-shirt. "Ok. I have been running drills on my own time. Let's do this."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and will start with some of the basics since it has been a bit and says "We will see how much you remember. " He looks to him and says "Oh, you thought about being on any other hero teams?

Cypher has posed:
Doug snorts, and then laughs aloud. "There is an open debate on whether I should be on any, Timbo." He does his warm up, stretching carefully."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "Well, I was thinking if you want a spot here with my team, we could use you. I figure with me training you, I can help ya prepare if your interested."

Cypher has posed:
"Oh. That's very flattering." Doug finishes his stretches, and toes up to the mat. "I accept... with the caveat again that I am very busy right now."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "We got a couple power houses on the team. Superboy, and looks like Wondergirl is joining up with us as well. Beast boy is part of the team." He tells the man, and will motion to Doug to come at him."

Cypher has posed:
Doug pops his neck, and goes after Tim. He has improved, with great economy of movenent and the beginnings of a very erratic and loose moveset, almost like drunken fist, with hard to read patterns of movement, as he tries to lock Tim into a joint hold.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will smile and will have to work harder himself, but does get out of the lock just before it is locked in "You have been practicing good good." He tells the other man, and moves for him to have to come after him again.

Cypher has posed:
Doug seems to have decided to focus on his submission game. He holds back using that alien arm to throw strikes. When he applies a hold ith it, it's harder and more resilient than muscle and bone. He tries to end things quickly.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will let him get him on the second or third try but before he taps out, he will try for a few pressure points on the bio mechanical arm and see if it works or not.

Cypher has posed:
The way it's put together is like a hunan arm, but not. Doug dislocates his elbow to pulk out of that hold, and stands panting, before he kooks down and the joint clicks back into place.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and says "Ok, well the knew arm will have some advantages we may have to work on building your fighting style around it." He tells the other . So you said your working, got a new job?"

Cypher has posed:
"Yeah." Doug flexes his fingers, "The right hand of doom." He shrugs, and says, "Well, I told you I went to school with Roberto da Costa, right? I'm setting up the infrastructure for a business project he's working on. You'll be hearing about it in the papers soon enough. You... might want to talk to some of the people you know about investing early. Everything da Costa touches turns to gold."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and says "Will have to look into it, tech company? We going to have some competition coming we should know about?" He asks teasingly." He will run through a few more moves as they talk.

Cypher has posed:
"No." Doug says. "But I'm not going to spill the beans any further." He drills, patiently -- he has been working hard, on his own time, and training toward his own talents, reading movements and reacting to them. Somewhere along the way, he was trained by a dancer. A really good dancer. He has great footwork.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods, and says "Will keep my eyes out." He will ell the man throwing him a bottle of water after the training. So, look like I am missing anythign we need here?'

Cypher has posed:
"I just need to keep working." Doug says, uncapping the bottle and draining it, before he pours the last of it over his head. "Can't stop."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake 's brow raises a bit and says "Oh, why not, if I may ask?

Cypher has posed:
Doug shrugs his shoulders, and moves to pull off his t-shirt, before he heads for the showers. "Harder, better, faster, stronger, man. I have to seize the edge -- and then I can't ever let go of it."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and says "Well, I can see a bit of that, but you also gotta make sure you stay you as well. I have seen what happens when you go all in with training and such, and it is much better to find a happy medium

Cypher has posed:
Doug shakes his head, and says, "With everything on my plate? No room for any more meatballs." He says, "I fit in sleep when I *blink*.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks over to him and raises a brow a bit to this "Well just think about it some."

Cypher has posed:
"I will." Doug says, "...While I'm working." He heads in to hit the showers.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will head to shower as well, he did set the place up with individual showers at least. Once he is back out. He is over near the vehicles.

Cypher has posed:
Doug emerges, and gives Tim a curious look, as he finishes buttoning the top button of his work shirt. "What's up?" He asks, his eyebrows going up, as he looks from Tim to the car.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "Wondering if I need to work on some type of group transport. Of the regulars we only got 2 flyers we might need a battle jittney."

Cypher has posed:
Doug furrows his brow, and says, "Man, I'm not used to that being an issue. My clique has flyers, teleporters, a winged horse, space alien who turns into a spaceship..." He thinks about it. "I mean, you could probably buy a truck and soup it up?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake chuckes and nods a bit to this "Will have to think about it. am used to being just two in a car, or a bunch of bikes. You know how to ride one?"

Cypher has posed:
"A bike? Yeah, I know how to ride. In theory, when I have spare time, which is never, I'm restoring this little AC Cobra sports car to cherry. Though right now it's sitting in the garage with a tarp over it, and it probably will for a long time." Doug gives a light shrug. "But yeah, I get around. Driving, piloting, they're not hard when you understand how the vehicle's put together."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods and says "Might buy a few bikes and see about upgrading them a bit. Might give Kidd something to do he would enjoy.

Cypher has posed:
Doug gives Tim a sidelong look. "Get the truck, too. Call it a hunch. Something you can load people into the back of, and do emergency evac. Put heavy tires and a ramming grill on it."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and nods his head a bit to this and says "Will look into it, besides a Gorilla driving a huge truck would kick ass.

Cypher has posed:
"A... gorilla." Doug says, furrowing his brow, before he shrugs, and says, "Okay." His phone beeps, and he mutters, "...I gotta go."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods and says "Kidd, will have to introduce you soon. Have a good one brow, you can go back out through the house, or that tunnel will get ya near the subway stop 2 blocks down.
