Jack- Jack!
You were suddenly awoken by Ivan pulling you out of bed
Jack I messed up- you- we- we have to run! Its not safe, we have to flee the country! Get in your suit, we'll find another freezer!
@sir--macabre
He woke up all groggy and then he fell to the cold hard metal floor
“Gah! Huh? Wha?” He said perplexed by sudden weakness
“Ivan what are you talking about?”
They found me!
Ivan began to dig around for a bag to hastily shove whatever stuff he could grab into
Which means none of us are safe, not you, and especially not me!
Rime gently got up and put a hand on Ivan’s shoulder
“Woah woah! Ivan calm down and take a deep breath. You’re gonna be okay just breathe! Tell me what happened?”
Ivan was hyperventilating and looked absolutely terrified. He was flailing around like a chicken with his head cut off.
But as Rime put his hand on Ivan, all of that slowly faded away. His breathing gradually slowed until he took one shaky deep breath and sat down
The court of owls found me...and I was so scared they'd hurt you...so I made a deal with them. I come back to be a talon in exchange for your safety.
..It was really really stupid. They'd hurt you no matter what...especially since you mean so-
Ivan cut himself off
We have to find somewhere. I'm not sure how far their influence goes...but...oh- we can go to Antarctica!
“Ivan. That’s sweet but…. Look I can’t leave Gotham again. I’ve been to the arctic! There’s nothing but penguins. We’re gonna figure this out we just have to be calm”
How on earth can we be calm when immortal zombie assasins are-
Ivan stopped mid sentence as something dawned on him
They...they can't handle cold. Jack they can't handle cold!
Ivan smiled and began pacing
We just need to keep the freezer subzero at all times, and the talons can't hurt us. Even better if we manage to "kill" them while they're in here, because then they wont reanimate!
..But then we'd have to worry about Barnaby, and Al, and everyone else you love. Also the potential threat of them using the rest of the vamps, who are resistent to the temperature weakness.
Ivan sighed and slumped down against rimes bed
We're doomed. Can you go find a stick and sharpen it please?
Jack smiled
“Ivan. I think I can do better than a stick. Why don’t you don’t you just. Take a breath. Chill out. Relax. Let me worry about the Talons okay?”
