“Seventh, actually.” Wally grinned back toward the woman that joined him. She was one of Dick’s teammates of whom he had met a couple of times now. Alissa… no, that isn’t it. Anissa! Yes! Good work, brain. Wally thought to himself as he recalled Anissa’s name without having that awkward conversation of asking what it was again.

He pushed the tray of fries between them, gesturing with a nod that she was welcome to take some. “Go on. Try some.”

“So, Anissa…” Wally continued after a pause to munch on more fries. “Dick didn’t mention you were back in town. Been back long?”

“Seventh? Boy, you must have hollow legs.” Anissa smiled across at Wally, one eyebrow lifting slightly. She had to admit she was fascinated by speedster metabolisms. But despite the Doctor in her wanting to outright ask about it, she managed to hold herself back. Just.

Looking down as the tray was slid in her direction, she considered for a moment before picking up a couple. “The best you’ve ever tasted, huh? I’m gonna trust you on that.” Popping the fries in her mouth, she chewed thoughtfully, then nodded. “Okay, those are pretty damn good.”

“A few days. I’m working on a lead which has brought me this way. Luckily I found a secondment at Gotham University Hospital to cover my bills while I’m out here.”

“These fries are up there with some of the best I have ever eaten.” Wally claimed, popping a few more fries into his mouth, chewing thoughtfully before continuing. “And that’s saying something because I have eaten a lot of fries.”

“I can tell.” Anissa smirked, sliding into the booth opposite the red haired young man. She knew him via Grayson, very tenuously, somehow the Outsiders were never as tight as the Titans or the Young Justice League. “Isn’t that your fifth lot?”

Beneath the cowl, Bruce’s brow furrowed slightly at the unfamiliar voice over the comms - the only indication he was doing as such being a very slight narrowing of his eyes. However, he recognized the call sign of one of Black Lightning’s team and knew she was trustworthy from reports Nightwing had delivered during Outsider missions.

“Thunder,” Batman addressed directly, not bothering with a greeting as there was more important business to attend to. “The transport broke down in the Financial District before it could cross the bridge to Blackgate Isle. Some of the prisoners appear to be making their way East to the Ranelagh Ferry. Head in that direction. I will meet you at the ferry terminal.”

“Roger that Batman.” Anissa’s response was more formal than usual, but there was a hint of amusement underlying her tone. Just at the uptight vibes from the elder vigilante. “I’m en route, have eyes on the terminal and some of our convicts. The boat is at the dock, if they get on board extraction will be difficult.”

The luminous signal shot out into the night air, lighting up the ever present clouds that hung over the city with a cry for help. It didn’t take long for Batman to reach the rooftop where the signal was coming from and after a few brief words with the commissioner, Batman set off into the night again - mission accepted.

Arriving at the point where the prison transport crashed, Batman lurked in the safety of the shadowed rooftops and tuned his comms to listen in on the chatter with the police. Five criminals had escaped the transport. Two of the guards were found nearby, knocked out and now on their way to Gotham General. The other two guards were missing.

It seemed like an easy case but Batman knew to recover the criminals in a timely manner, it would be best to call in for backup. Opening the compact computer hidden in his right gauntlet, Batman sent out open comms to those he trusted most. “If you are available, report in.” His voice low but holding the authority of a leader. “Five prisoners have escaped a transport making its way to Blackgate Prison. Considered armed and dangerous. I need eyes and ears on the ground and watching over us.”

While she hadn’t expected to be idle during her time in Gotham; she also hadn't thought she'd be pulled into a mission quite so soon. But when Batman calls, you just have to pick up. Right? She knew Black Lightning had worked with the Dark Knight before, though she was more familiar with Nightwing from Outsider missions. "This is Thunder, I'm in the vicinity and can assist. Where do you want me?" Anissa couldn't fly like Jen or their Dad, but she had her bike and the engine roared as she sped closer.

The alarm started ringing again, and Babs pushed herself gracefully off the couch and into her chair to wheel toward it. “Alright, alright. Chill, I’m sorry for trying to catch some shut eye.” She ran a hand through her hair, shaking it out along with the last thoughts of her dream, before pulling on her headset. “Oracle. Whatcha need birdy?”

“Birdy? Y’all are informal around here.” Anissa replied, the coms in her mask doing nothing to hide the amusement in her tone. Oracle could probably hear her smile and the tiny laugh that accompanied it. “This is Thunder, a mutual friend gave me the frequency. I’m trailing a splinter group of rogue ASA from Freeland, last seen headed into your area.”
