John hadn’t intended to stay in Gotham this long, but after his encounter with a fox shifter, he decided that he’d take a look around. And by “take a look around” he means kick over a few rocks to find out what vermin are hiding underneath. He’s spent the last four days dealing with anyone who so much as thinks about hunting shifters who’ve done nothing wrong. He found a ring of them, but he’s dealt with them now. A couple of the nastier ones have come to a very sticky end, and he feels a bit better about the entire thing. He’s found out a few interesting facts along the way, but there’s not much he can do about those for the moment.
Zatanna invites him to one of her shows, and he needs to wind down, so he goes. He picks a seat at the bar, with good sight lines and a clear path to the exit if he needs it. He orders a pint of what passes for beer in these parts, lights a cigarette, and watches the show. Zatanna knows how to please a crowd, but he’s seen it all before. He knows most of her act off by heart these days; he’s mainly here for the booze and the after show with Zee. He finishes his first pint and turns back to the barman to order another.
It’s then that he notices someone familiar. Well away from the crowd, and the stage... it’s his fox shifter. He’s actually looking worse than the last time John saw him, if that’s even possible.
