a signal high up , a signal so obvious , a signal that made GOONS RUN . a shadow , lingering & always present . was he hiding in it , OR WAS HE THE SHADOW ? whenever signal appeared , it sent rush through his veins , heart beat out of his chest , night passing like a rush whe he was out there , whe he was FIGHTIG FOR GOTHAM . sun rising , slowly , darkness fading into light . blue turning orange & were he more interested : HE WOULD PAY ATTENTION TO IT , but he was not . what he was interested in , however ( who turned the signal on , if not gordon ? )

voice not one he knew , not familiar , NOT ONE HE REMEMBERED & the face ? form turned , listened to what she was saying . strange , moved happily , moved with ease and with a wide smile on features . SMILED , while shadow remained still , remained neutral . perhaps ( if one looked closely ) they could see lips TWITCHING just slightly & moments of silence passed , questions left unanswered for him to ask the only one that burned on the tip of his tongue : « WHO ARE YOU ? »
" in one ear, 'n out the other ... " words exit with a tumbling sigh. she had such a good line, too ... typical ! dinah shakes her head, a stray hand shaking out bleached waves, now thrown over one shoulder. " you know ---- " she huffs, but the only hostility that remains in her voice is the tinge of passive - agressiveness. her arms leave to cross over her chest, and one foot crosses over the other as she steps forward. " usually, when i strike up a conversation with someone, i make it a point to listen, and react accordingly. " her movement pauses, and she's facing him again, finished with her irritable pacing. " dinah lance. it's dinah if you're feeling all too enthralled, and black canary if you're a tad shy. " her smile is back. " i just moved here. consider this your formal, informal ' meet the neighbors '. "
