How much bad stuff you have to do in order for them to be convinced that your legit?" "Not much," Batgirl replies.

Tjack Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Paladin made sure that his quiet “humph” of annoyance didn’t get broadcast. “SHE’S having a slow night!” He thought. He cycled once again through the infra-red and ultra-violet spectrums checking the house and grounds. I know he’s testing me...I know he’s testing me...I know he’s testing me. He’s waiting to see if I’ll snap, waiting to see if I break concentration, waiting to see if I’ll get bored, waiting to see if I ask to leave. I’m NOT screwing up my first assignment from him. If I have to, I’ll tell mom that I fell asleep at that all night Kung-Fu movie theater I scoped out in KoreaTown. I wanted to save that one for an emergency, but I’ll break it out tonight if I have to. Maybe I can ask Batman if he can set me up with a no-show job at some Wayne Enterprises business to cover for time spent doing things like this.....That would mean I’d have to get paid...show mom a pay stub....No, maybe some kind of work study thing for class credit?.....That would involve the school....I don’t know if that would work....He must have a plan, he’s Batman! Batman always has a plan. FOCUS DUMMY!! Stay with it. This CAN be done. This WILL be done. (deep breath) Stay with it. steriaca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted October 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 "Batman to Batgirl," came over the radio. "Anything to report? Over." "Just two muggers dealt with," Batgirl replies. "Over." "Gotham University's museum could also be a target," Batman says. "You know the area? Over." "Yeah, I do," Batgirl replies. "Heading there now. Over." Turning to Lady Heart, she adds, "It's on Fifth Avenue between South Craig and South Dithridge Streets." "Copy. Batman out." "Batgirl out."

Lady Heart nodded and head out to Fifth Avenue and South Dithridge Street via flight. This being Gotham and not Metropolis, people tend not to look up. Mostly because unlike Metropolis good things are rairly airborne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted October 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 As Lady Heart flies toward the Gotham University Museum, she flies over Gotham Transit Authority's buses, commuter train, and monorail as well as Kingston Square, which is active until midnight and on the western side of Gotham University, and Burnley Harbor, Gotham City's "Little Bohemia" which is just to the west of Kingston Square. (OCC: These locations are mentioned in the Daily Planet Guide to Gotham City.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted October 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Closing in on the museum, Lady Heart spots Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, which is across Fifth Avenue from the museum. There is little traffic in the area as a campus police car rolls along Henry Street, which is on the back side of the museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Rand Posted October 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Not around the museum, but there are a couple of vehicles from a maid service company that, according to its advertising, keeps God's house clean, parked by the cathedral rectory. Edit: There are several vehicles with visor cards reading CLERGY parked there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjack Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Paladin to Team Leader, I don’t think you can have that kind of advertising without the church’s express permission.

"The Roman Catholic Church is the only one who insisted on a donation to the local diocese and a rate reduction for having a company vehicle on their property. Fortunately, the company, which is owned by a Wayne Enterprises company, permits employees to use their own vehicles, for which they get paid for the milage they put on it while working."
