Who: Terry McGinnis knight_shift, Bruce Wayne the_caped_crusader
What: Terry introduces himself to Bruce, then gets the lay of the land in Central City as Batman
When: April 28th
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: Violence
[The Old Man (locked to Bruce)]
It really doesn't take Terry long to figure out Bruce is here once he gets a chance to settle in. Batman dabbing is still all over social media. Once Terry sees that it's not exactly the hardest thing in the world to track him down. Bruce had advertised himself online under his real name, after all, and a quick check on a library computer is all that's needed to find him.
It's not really a difficult decision to go meet him. They're going to run into each other sooner or later, Bruce is definitely going to have questions, and it's probably for the best if Terry just gets them out of the way now.
Also Terry really can't bring himself to avoid the opportunity to annoy a younger Bruce.
It's with that in mind that Terry and Ace find themselves at the door of Wayne Investigations, knocking at the door.
[Night Job(OTA)]
Night, when he goes out as Batman, is mostly about starting the lay of the land. Figuring out who the big time players are and who's moving what where. Sneaking around and staying out of things isn't something he likes doing, but it's necessary. Terry knew Gotham like the back of his hand. He doesn't know Central City. Not yet.
That said, he's not ignoring any calls for help. Like, say, from a woman who's being mugged by a pack of dregs. The thug who pulls a gun on her is almost immediately taken out by Terry gliding right into him.
"Lady, run. I've got the four or five Stooges here covered."
[Wild Card]
You know the drill.

Re: Night Job
At the end, they're all down, groaning in pain. Terry grabs one and shoves him against the wall.
"Whose territory is this?" Terry growls.
"Third Street Hawks," the guy answers before Terry rams him back into the wall.
"Wrong answer. Let's try this again. Whose territory is this?"
"Y-yours?" the guy squeaks.
"Looks like you can be taught. Let me tell you how things are going to work-" Terry says, before something occurs to him. He rifles around in the guys pockets before find his wallet and ID. "-Adam. I find you out here doing slag like this again, I start breaking bones. I find your buddies out here doing the same thing, I break theirs and then I show up at your place to finish the lesson. Are we clear?"
"Crystal," The guy squeaks again, before Terry tosses his wallet back at him. He runs, while the rest of them pick themselves up off the ground at book it out of there. Terry turns to the roof where Jason's been watching.
"So, you going to come down here or are you just going to stalk me all night?"
no subject
"It's not stalking if I didn't think you were gonna be here," Jason drawls, unworried.
He steps out of the shadows and makes his way down using the fire escape and parkour.
"Can't a guy take a casual stroll around the city?"
no subject
[They'd both grown up in Gotham. Casual nighttime strolls weren't something you did if you valued their health.]
Everybody who's been around long enough to know the old man has had an opinion. Might as well get it out of your system.
no subject
Nah. Seems better to let you figure that out. If you really were trained by him, then it shouldn't take long.
[Jason sees no reason to tell his personal story to someone claiming to be the next Batman. Besides, this would be another way to see the guy's capabilities]
no subject
[The list of people whose opinion about him being Batman he was actually interested in was a very, very short one. Some dude he just met wasn't anywhere near being on the list.]
no subject
Never thought I'd ever see someone else wear the cowl. Was starting to think he'd rather drop dead first.
no subject
[There were other reasons. He had a heart condition, of course, plus there was whatever else that had happened to make him quit.
Terry had his theories about it but the only one who knew for sure was Bruce.]
no subject
That's almost just as shocking. Kudos to him for making it.
