Tinyplot: Coventry Murders


Red Hood has posed:
Seriously, Jason doesn't know how Batman juggled as much as he did night after night, Jason only had this business with the demons, he patrol sectors, and waging war on the gangs in the Narrows and his myriad personal issues to deal with and he felt like he couldn't deal with one without another one slipping. The last couple of nights it'd been his personal issues and patrol sectors that took precidence, now though it was time to get back on the demons.

Heading down to the Batcave, Jason sends out a text to Babs and Tim:

Jason >> Hey need to see you nerds in the basement for a tech issue.

Then he pockets his phone, and gets the two cellphones Lucifer gave him out of the little evidence locker he'd stuck them in, ready to be cracked.

Oracle has posed:
As it turns out, Batman-Oracle was already there in the cave, sitting in her armor at the Batcomputer sans helmet, plugging at the keys imputting new evidence she'd surfaced on some case she's working in her patrol sector. Nothing of note. She was, however, starting to feel the strain.

When her phone chirps, the black object draws her green eyes down to it beside her on the console, then back around at Jason coming in with a tight grin. "You raaaaaang?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will take a bit as he was out and about, but before too long the red motorcycle that speaks of Red Robin is coming roaring into the cave. He will move to park it where he can refill it when he finishes. he will pull the The helmet off, and look around heading over towards Jason.

Red Hood has posed:
"Should have figure'd you'd be here already Barbie," Jason says with a grin as he makes his way to the lockers to retrieve the phones. By the time he's got them Tim's arrived and Jason gives him an upnod of greeting. "Tim," he says as he pulls the phones out of the bags he put them in, though while it's clear why he called them here it doesn't stop him from, well being Jason... "Great you guys could make it, I got locked out of my Pornhub account and I need you guys to reset the password..."

There's a brief smirk, before he produces the phones, "Buuut really these are the phones," he makes a face. "Lucifer, gave me, did the preliminary stuff, prints etc nothing exciting, the two undead gang guys and unknown print I am going to guess belongs to our club owner with delusions of devilry, they're locked down though, figured you guys could break us in and pull all the juicy bits of intel out of them."

Oracle has posed:
Babs turns in the high backed chair, one of her legs up and leaning to the side against the arm rest. "Yeah, finishing up here before I head to my day job in a few hours." One candle, both sides. "..." When he mentions pornhub, "Who do you think watchdogged you out of it? Midget on furniture porn, Jason? Seriously?"

When his real reason is exposed, however, she holds out a hand for one of the phones to give it a longing over so that Tim can work on the other. "Yeah, shouldn't be too hard to crack them... guys name is Lucifer? Like he introduces himself with it? Kind of... pretentious, isn't it?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake walks over and takes the other one. He will look to Babs. "On the deed for his club and all." He will take his phone over to one of the electronic stations. He starts off putting it in a fariday cage so not signals get out till he is ready for them too.

Red Hood has posed:
The mention of day jobs gives Jason pause for a moment, "Jeeze, for a moment I forgot some of you actually have lives and stuff," yeah he'd been going at things 24/7 with none of the pretence of being a security consultant or any of the rest. Though that doesn't stop him from quipping, "Hey little people need love too and they need it on an Ottoman, apparently."

Jason hands a phone to each and nods, "Yeah, Lucifer Morningstar," he says with a shake of his head. "Not sure what his deal is exactly, but for all the pretentious name and everything he was alright and super interested in working with us," beat. "Which might be a trap or he might be a fan, but he definitely had information to share and it sounds like an axe to grind with these demons."

Oracle has posed:
"Whole new meaning to splat furnishings." Babs quips with a smirk.

"Morningstar... his name is actually Lucifer Morningstar..." Her head cants a little, "Well that's a fifteen dollar title. Guy named after the devil can't be all bad right?" The phone given her is turned over a few times, thumb and index fingertip pressing lightly against the screen and back so a jerk of her wrist spins it in her palm. "Alright, let's see what kind of goods he's given us."

Babs tosses the phone down on the console near the keyboard and reaches for her own Prometheus. A wire run from one side the slate black device connects to the USB port, at which point, she thumbs her phone awake and turns it sideways to double thumb text out.

>cmd:prompt.root.qtt. )<access.true=default_user
    default_user(luc.morn)-direct
        run.`default_user

The phone drops it down on the counter so she can press her thumb against the indicator at the bottom of the screen. Once read, she retakes it and continues.

set.true.access=user.

"There you go." Unplugging her own phone to slide it back into her pocket and hand Jason the cracked device.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake does some stuff somewhat similar, but instead of only cracking the phone he gets one of their burner phones to clone it on, and starts looking through the information. He lets the other two deal with the one they have for a bit. He will first look through the call list, then the location. He will even copy any voice mails to a different media source to have them recorded. He looks over and says "Gonna take a minute as I want a copy of what's on it." he will tell them, leaving it running and moving to get himself a cup of coffee. "Anyone want anything?" He asks from the coffee/refreshment area.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Robin came through the cave, the Redbird zoomed through the entrance, his uniform was ragged, and a chunk of the armored suit was ripped off on his thigh.

  He moved without a care about what happened to him though. It was business as usual. "Everyone." He says in greeting, walking without incident to the medical station.

  A scant few moments later, and Damian is down to the black armor that rested underneath his usual uniform. Robin went out with nearly as much protection as Batman did these days. The criminals around Gotham quickly figured out that the young sidekick of the Batman was just as capable and combative as the Bat. "The Coventry murders?" He asks the group as he works to lay out the medical supplies he needed.

Red Hood has posed:
Okay that one got Jason to pull a face, "God Babs, the Commish know you talk like that?" he teases, grinning.

"Right?" Jason says with a smirk about Lucifer, "But for the devil, he's got a really kicking club, I am a little ashamed to admit it, sort of think of going by in my off-hours. Besides the guy says he can banish our demon friends, I kinda want to see if it's true."

Damian's arrival is met with an arched brow at the wound, "Hey, yeah, it's Coventry, we got some phones from that Lucifer guy from my AAR belonged to some of the zombies, we're running the data to see what's going on. Though what the heck hat happened to you?"

When the phone is handed over he thumbs through the info, hitting up the recent calls in and out first, "Aww, this guy called his mom a lot," he says, Tim's scan through the info will tell the same story for that phone, the single most used contact is a phone number marked: Mom in the guys contacts.

Location data on both phones pull up a fairly random spread of locations around Coventry.

"Hey Babs, can you Oracle-fu both phones and pull up any places in common?"

Oracle has posed:
"Where do you think I got it from?" Babs says about her father, rolling her eyes.

She is also a lot more armored than usual and has more in common with Red Hoods costume than Batmans. "Sure, let me see them." Hands out, along with her own device set down on the console. Ready to link the two of them together with the remote access of her Prometheus linked back to the Oracle Array in the Clocktower. "Seven gets you twenty that Mom is an alias, eh?" Chewing her bottom lip while she works.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods, and walks over to the other phone calling out the number for "Mom" so that they can compare it to the number on the other phone "Same number?" He will ask afterwards. He sips his coffee looking over to Damian, and hmms a bit in thought at something and says to him "Needing anything?" He asks the kid.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian laid out a suture kit, and two hemostats, he pulled apart the affected area on his right leg, exposing the flesh underneath. "I do not have powers any longer." He responds towards Jason while he set up the first hemostat. Kicking up his right leg, he starts to get to work on stitching himself up, once he puts on gloves and staunched the blood away, a quick rinse with sterile water to flush it out, and Damian is ready to start.

  Of course, when he was asked by Tim if he needed anything, Damian has that flash of anger, but he stuffed it down. "I will be fine." He says, almost as neutral as he can.

  "I know you have taken point on it. Let me know if you need me to do anything with the case." He calls out to the other three. Yes, he did not numb it, lidocaine was a crutch, and he refused to give into temptation.

Red Hood has posed:
"Wow, Grandpa Cop has a mouth on him? Who knew?" Jason only really knew the commisioner from his time as Robin when he seemed as old as the hills and after he'd returned from the dead he and the law didn't exactly see eye to eye.

He hands over the phone before confirming with Tim, "Yeah, same number," before his brow creases with a thought and he says, "No bet on mom being a codename, but remeber what the Kim-Demon was saying, about serving the lady or whatever, wanna bet that's mom?"

"Sure," Jason agrees to Damian's request to help. "I think if we track down this mom and the rest of these demons we're going to need all the help we can get."

Oracle has posed:
"Worse." Babs says of her dad with a further smirk, bobbing her head affirmative to Tim at the numbers. This is further confirmed by Jason and she glances up at him with a slow nod, "Seems likely, yeah." Then she's at work on her prometheus, double thumbing over the keys to link and relay data signals across Wayne towers.

"Looks like we've got both a place and a time, but it's not static across any given day.. just 1930 at the community centre in Coventry." Said without looking up from the scroll of code and relevant data, "I have a ping from Moms phone, too.. housing development, also in Coventry."

Babs sits back and glances from Tim, to Jason, and over to Damian doing surgery without lidocaine.. "Why? It doesn't even knock you out... it's.. you know what, lil brother, do you."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and offered to help Damian, but listens to what Bab's says and says "Well, We can either head there stake it out, and use some triangulation to find the phone or we can call her and tell her we got her boy want him, she has to come have a chat." He will continue sipping his coffee and looks to the others seeing what they think.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian made his stitches easily, the pain was nothing he hadn't experienced already. "So literal demons, schway." He comments, giving a smirk as he continued the stitch. "What?" He asked, not having shown any sign of discomfort or pain. Even humid he felt it, he blocked it from showing on his face. His years with Ra's and Talia having forced him to push that aside.

  He completed the suture, a quick sterile plaster on top and he hops up, like it never happened. "So. We find Mom, make her talk, maybe even slaughter a few demons along the way?"

Red Hood has posed:
There's a smirk from Jason about the Commish. "Huh," he remarks then gets down to the business at hand.

Jason out of curisoity, pulls out his own phone and pulls up the website for the centre and the events calendar, "Huh, well good on you demons, the first step is admitting you have a problem..." he murmurs to himself before showing the others the calendar. "Only thing starting at 7:30 at the centre is an AA meeting."

Jason's attention is drawn to Damian then, "That's normal where he's from," he remarks with a bit of a smirk to his fellow murderbat.

Then he turns back to the screen, "Yeah, I'd rather be taking on mom on ground of our choosing, not hers. So, my vote is we scope things out, figure out what we might use as bait, I don't think mom cares too much about her 'kids' then use it to lure her out and take her down."

Oracle has posed:
"If she's got a mind for security, I can remote hack it so long as I'm within a few hundred yards. I doubt she's got it on the grid or I'd do it from here." Babs says definitively, tapping her gauntleted fingers on the desk where her arm lays. "I really don't think the frontal assault is a wise course knowing what we know about these demons." In agreement with Jason that point.

"They already tried to hose up a bunch of new recruits offing gangers right? Next best thing is a couple dozen junkies and alcoholics with little to know other options." Looking from one brother to the other. She's still not sure about Damian over there doing surgery the 1860s way, but..

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks to them, and unplugs his phone offering the original back to Jason. "I will ride over that way set up some relays and see if you can pick anything up." He will tell Babs as he heads for his bike " He makes sure he has gas in the bike, and looks back to them and says "I'll keep the area under watch tonight some wants it tomorrow it is all yours." He puts on his helmet and heads on out.

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Over the course of this whole debacle with Bruce, Damian had quickly started to get along with Jason more and more. That at least was a good thing that came from it all. "Whatever you need, Gordon." He comments, looking to Barbara and giving a little less of a frown.

  He didn't explain further on why he was stitching like it was the 19th century, Jason had taken care of that. "Not that I used them much around Gotham, but I will try to keep a number of crystals around for emergency use."

Red Hood has posed:
"Jesus," Jason says, he hadn't thought of that when he'd discovered the AA meeting but it made sense. "Yeah, try to find any cameras we can around mom and the meeting to keep watch, and..." As Tim takes the words out of his mouth, "One of us keeping close to respond. Thanks Tim, I'll take next."

"As for the ambush on mom, Lucifer said he wanted to be there and that he could banish her," Jason says. "Might be worth bringing him as an ace in the hole," then there's a look to Damain. "And a crystal, in case we need an ace in the hole to deal with our ace in the hole."

Oracle has posed:
Babs taps her phone to her brow and tips it out towards Jason, "Can do... Huh." Squinting slightly at him, head leaning back just a little to get a look from a different light, "You know? You're kind of starting to sound like him... careful, Jason.. we'll start thinking you were paying more attention than you let on."

Her feet drop down out of the seat so she can stand, slipping her Prometheus into the pocket of her jacket, "I need to hit the pavement before daybreak. Let me know when we're doing this and I'll clear my calendar." Nodding to Damian, "Stay frosty, little bird."

Robin (Wayne) has posed:
     Damian gives a nod, to both Jason and Barbara before he makes his way to the showers, and the armory, he's going to have to get this suit repaired. "I am going to get some sleep in, before going to the office. Fuck I do not know how Father can work on 30 minute naps." He comments, nodding to Jason. "I know of at least five, but they are at Titans Tower, in Apokoliptan weapons we took off of parademons when Darkseid decided to invade."

Red Hood has posed:
Jason points his finger at Babs as she leans back and looks at him like that, "You /better/ be joking," he says. "I /don't/ sound like Bruce." Did he? That was going to fester. He looks to Damian to back him up here.

Though as Babs gets ready for the real world, and Damian goes to go get cleaned up, he nods, "Don't worry, Barbie, you'll be my first call" he says to the redhead before nodding to Damian. "And might be good to get one of them, just in case."
