Owner	Pose
Carrie Kelley	The auxillary Batcave was ... quite large. The pale white-blue lights lit up the entire length as far down as the eye could see. It easily covered the length of the few city blocks that it ran under. That it could have been built here, without anyone noticing, was more tha an example of just how secretive and creative Bruce could be. Unlike the natural shapes of the original cave this was all harsh modern edges. It lacked the charm of the cave in the fact that there were no trophies to show off. Nothing, really, to indicate it belonged to the Caped Crusader except for the fact that on one raised dias further in was a jet black musclecar that had been an older version of the Batmobile. Back when he was trying to blend in inconspiciously. It now belonged to Carrie. As did the entire 'cave'. She'd been up most of the night looking over the maps of the new territory she'd been given as her patrol zone along with this new location. Now she was just in a state of semi-tired, but not feeling as if she ought to sleep. So she sits at the chair in front of the console that resembled the Bat computer while sipping on a Red Bull staring off into space waiting for the individual she'd invited to stop by.
Jason Todd	Jason didn't get a fancy cave or anything but he did get territory and a bunch of caches. He promptly raided the caches and moved them to places only he was likely to find and otherwise busied himself with getting set back up in Gotham after a couple months of flitting in and out. He was tired too, but when he got that text he replied immediately and then even stopped on the way to pick something up. So, when whatever security the cave has reports his arrival, Jason comes on his bike from the China Basin entrance wearing his Red Hood get up and carrying a white plastic bag in one hand, the chinese lettering on the side barely visible. Assuming he's let in, he parks his bike by the muscle car and removes his red helmet and grins, "Wow, first a room with its own name in the mansion, now you've got your own cave, really moving up from getting kicked out of self-defense clases, huh?"
Carrie Kelley	Carrie Kelley swivels the chair she's in toward the sound of the bike arriving. It was the computer readout that showed her the video of his arrival before she heard it, but there was something to be said for actually looking at real life instead of video. A wry grin is cracked as her head ducks to let her fingers comb back through her hair with a sigh. "Oh tell me about it," she responds with a shake of her head. Lifting her Red Bull high she indicates the area with a laugh. "Welcome to the bunker. I might call it that, the Bunker. It kind of looks like one after all." The drink is abandoned on a little tray beside the console in favor of rising to her feet to stride toward Jason wearing a grin. If he lets her she offers him a quick hug. "Thanks for coming by. This is a bit much for me to take in all at once. Is that bao?"
Jason Todd	Jason chuckles to himself seeing Carrie sitting at the computer just like Bruce would do, but unlike Bruce, she actually comes down and talks to him like a real person. "Definitely has wait out nuclear war or the zombie apocolypse vibes, so, yeah, good name," he offers with a wry grin while he allows the hug and claps his hand on her back, which would be an exhuberant bear hug from just about anyone else. He takes a moment to look around and nods about it all being a lot to take in, "Yeah, that's sort of his style isn't it? Shock and awe?" he remarks before he turns and grins at the mention of bao. "Yeah, it is, from that place," he says meaning the spot he took her for their 'date' way back when. "Figured we both could use something familiar, because we're sort of through the looking glass right now," Jason didn't bother with the domino mask under his helmet like he usually wore on patrol, so his face was visible and behind that usual easy going Jason vibe was exhaustion and stress.
Carrie Kelley	"I love you," Carrie blurts out even as she steps back making grabby hand motions toward the delicious smelling bag with a grin. "Or maybe I'm just hungry but either way I'll take it." Looking up toward him she stares just a moment with a soft, tired smile of her own. It was impossible to miss how worn out he looked. She was just about there herself. "Well, come on then. I've got plenty of drinks though no beer, sorry. I really should have a couch brought in here," she considers thoughtfully with a quick glance around. "Maybe some bean bags. What do you think?" Chuckling she turns with a little wave of her hand to follow even as she jogs up the steps to the computer again. Quickly typing over the keyboard she causes a few shifting plates in the flooring to slip aside and allowing familiar enough exercise equipment to raise up. A weight bench, leg machine, the usual. "Not the comfiest, but it's seating of a sort," she reasons.
Jason Todd	"You say that but you just want me for my food," Jason quips good naturedly as Carrie makes pretty much the same joke. He hands over the bag, and catches that moment of 'holy shit we're tired' he gives her a nod, a silent, 'right there with you', then he's following after her up to the computer. "I'll have to fix the beer thing," Jason remarks, smiling, "And Bruce would have a fit if there were beanbag chairs in one of the lairs, so, obviously, you need some," he assures her. The exercise equipment is taken in with an easy nod, "Hey my base has turnstiles and an old office chair I got out of a dumpster, I'll definitely take exercise seating," he says of their seating arangements as he walks in that direction. "How have you been? Last we talked Bruce just moved you into the mansion and his baby momma was hanging around."
Carrie Kelley	"Oh my god she's so ..." Carrie trails off uncertain of what to say there. It only takes a moment for her to figure it out though: "Imposing." Following to the exercise equipment she opts for the leg machine using the padded knee guard as a leg rest instead of what it was meant for. It's almost like lounging. A long, languid stretch of her arms over her head earns a few pops of her neck along with a sigh. "Yeah, I wasn't really pleased with moving into the mansion. I do have to admit there's some perks to it though. It's kind of nice having a large kitchen, and a tub that I can actually take a bath in." A wry grin is offered over before it fades again. "Hell of a night keeping the Boss from..." No, better not talk about that. Her head shakes firmly. "How are you holding up?"
Jason Todd	Jason nods, "Yeah, that's a word for her," it sounds like he has a few other choice words in his head that would fit in its place. "She still around?" He wasn't really looking forward to running into her if she was. All the same Jason picks the benchpress as his perch of choice and settles down, grinning as Carrie stretches, "Don't get too comfy Kelley, you pass out I get to decorate the bunker until you wake up." "Yeah, the mansion's okay, Alfred offered to let me stay, but," he makes a face. "No thanks, I'm better I'm on my own. Though remind me to show you my spot sometime, with as crazy as things are getting you might need it." The mention of Bruce's fate gets Jason to make a face, "You were there huh? When they brought him back?" he says unable to let that subject lie. As for how he's holding up, Jason says, "Well I got to call Bruce an idiot without any argument from him, so, I can scratch that off my bucketlist, " he says with a brittle laugh. "But otherwise pretty shitty, but yeah, yeah, I am sure we can all say that, just, I dunno, this is definitely not something I saw coming. Not with him."
Carrie Kelley	"Ugh. Like I need a beer can tower and girlie calendars all over," Carrie teases back with a crinkle of her nose, and tongue sticking out playfully. "Though I may crash soon after this anyway. Been too much going on. Too much that *will* go on, no doubt. Should rest up while I can." Of course there were other things first. Like bao. Leaning forward she makes a swipe for the bag of goodies to fish out one of the packages. Only with her prize in hand does she sit properly to ensure she doesn't spill it all over. "Yeah. I was there. We all were... Well most of us." Frowning she jabs at some of the bao with chopsticks letting out a sigh. "He sent us all a message saying he wanted to have a meeting on how to deal with Superman. Except he wasn't there. He locked us all in. Babs and Damian hacked the computer so we got to see the news feed of what was going on. Damian brought him back. Then we spent the next day keeping his heart from stopping." "Talia was there. Near the end when we got him stable at least. Babs volunteered to tell her while we were still working." Looking up again she can only offer a half-assed smile. "I think I've been running on adrenaline and caffiene since. I feel like I'm still waiting for it all to hit me."
Jason Todd	"Jeeze," Jason says with roll of his eyes, "Have some class, they're 'erotic art calendars'," he says before he grins, "But you're right about the beer can towers." He pulls bag out of reach for a second before thinking better of getting between a hungry memeber of the bat clan and bao, he hands over the bag for rummaging then grabs some bao for himself, smiling as he takes a bite, "Sleep is for the weak," he opines super-helpfully. "Of course," he says when she tells him that Batman had locked them all in the cave during the fight. "All that talk of working as a team and then he runs off and fights /Superman/ on his own." Though as Babs had said the otherday, who else was going to do it? He listens to the rest in silence, "Jesus, all day?" he asks. "I just saw him after and that was bad enough," and he doesn't seem to be joking, there's a flicker of the fear and anger that sight had caused in his eyes and then he quickly hides it, munching bao as a cover. There's a nod about Talia, and the fact she was still around is filed away for later, right now his thoughts were on Bruce and well the fucked up situation the whole family was in right now. Jason nods, "I don't know if it's really hit me yet or not, if not, I'm going to keep on running so it doesn't catch up. Too much to do," he mirrors that weak-ass smile. "Aren't you glad you joined the family?" he offers in a pale shadow of his usual humour.
Carrie Kelley	The question catches her off guard. Even if it was said rhetorically Carrie finds herself pausing to consider it. Her teeth sink into the soft breading of the bao as she chews thoughtfully. Partly to think, partly to enjoy the flavor which was a pleasant comparison to the junk food she'd been eating lately. "I am, actually. Even if you're all a bunch of crazy nutjobs. Guess I am too." "It was a long night and well into the morning. I don't really remember much other than Damian and I taking turns with CPR, administering fluids and helping Doc Thompkins do what she needed to." At least they had the sense to call in a professional. "Oh... and he said something about 'lead' before he went out the last time." An eyebrow lifts slightly regarding Jason at that. It wasn't the phrase 'to lead' but 'lead' as in the metal compound. "Any idea why he'd say that? Seemed reeeal important to him."
Jason Todd	Jason smiles at her assessment, "Was going to say, he got all us crazy nutjobs when we were too young to know better, you've got no excuse," he says with a wink. He glances around at the bunker, "Plus, you got all this, must mean you have the bat-seal-of-approval." He'd been joking when he'd said she'd come a long way from their 'fights' in that self-defense class, but this time his, even with the laughs and the winks he's serious about how far she came. "So, you got that one on me." After all even with Damian around he was still the Batfamily's problem child. As to the question of Bruce's crptic message, Jason's face reads confusion, though that doesn't stop him from quipping, "Rosebud was taken?" before he gives the matter some serious thought and... comes up blank. "No clue, I mean he wasn't poisoned with it or something? All the stuff I heard sounded like all he got was a superpowered ass kicking."
Carrie Kelley	Carrie Kelley takes another bite of the bao only to grin around the mouthful careful not to be gross about it. It ends up looking as if her cheeks were puffed out all chipmunk-like until she gulps it down. A quick smudge of her thumb over the corner of her mouth ensures she didn't get any of the saucy filling on her face. "Well. With the family I've had... maybe crazy seemed better." There's a pause before she adds, "Mostly I was just really pissed off I got used as a hostage by some ninjas and wanted to make sure that never happens again. I may have gone a little bit far with it," she admits with a tip of her head to glance up and around at the bunker. "A little." "Hm. I'll have to think on that some more then. I mean, he just doesn't seem the sort to blurt random things without reason. I just haven't had time to sit and contemplate it." Sleep. Then she would. Maybe. "For now it's just been learning the new gear in here, making some excuses at school to have time off, and learning the new patrol area. I think the place," the bao is nodded at, "Is in that range. Might make more pitstops there in the future."
Jason Todd	Jason is almost gross with his bao at the face Carrie makes, "Damn it," he says trying to hold in a laugh. "And if you're going to do Squirrel Girl cosplay, do it when I'm not eating," he says, before swallowing down his boa as he gives her leg a little kick. His eyes sweep across the room pausing at the computer, the car, the exercise kit they're sitting on. "Maybe a bit," he declares with a shake of his head. "Definitely no ninjas though, so, mission accomplished?" "No, he definitely doesn't do anything randomly, everything's a plan inside a plan. For all we know he said it so you'd tell me and then I'd be banging my head against a wall trying to figure it out, he's that insidious," he deadpans, though the question really was stuck in his head now, but running on No-Doze and coffee it was also hard not to crack some jokes about it. When it comes to patrol areas though, he says, "Yeah, I got stuck with the Narrows, but also Theatre Row, totally willing to trade that for bao country however," he says with a grin.
Carrie Kelley	Carrie Kelley spreads her hands in a helpless shrug, chin lifting upward with a gri of triumph. "Nuh uh, all the bao are belong to me. I'll share though," she assures before finishing off her bite of the treat he'd brought, and licking her fingers clean. "Mm. Could be. Either way it's something to keep in mind while we adapt to this new situation and he heals up. It'll take awhile, I'm sure." A little yawn is stifled after that, and she squints a bit. "I should probably get that sleep thing in. Could probably use a shower, too," she admits quietly with a glance down at herself. It's mostly done in jest though. She pushes to her feet only to dust her hands off on her sides. "Thanks for stopping by, Jay. We'll have to catch up more sometime. It's been too long."
Jason Todd	Jason grins, "Fine keep your bao," he says as he stands and hands over the bag he brought as well. "These too, since you're going to be greedy like that." He says with wink. Then he's off, after giving her a farewell shoulder bump, calling back as he does: "No comment on the shower Kelley, but I'll see you around, sleep good, someone in the family should."
