Harbor duty again. These days, it's one of the most boring assignments you can get in Gotham, patrolling for crime as part of the Oracle Network. Babs's hastily formed but naturally well-coordinated alliance of Batman's allies both close and estranged has been protecting his city in his absence. And since that little terror Damian made it clear during a raid on Two-Face two weeks ago that the Network wouldn't be tolerating any shady business at the docks, it's been pretty quiet. Still, it has to be done. And tonight's Thursday night, which means it's your night to do it.

You've just settled into your favorite stakeout spot on the roof of a nearby warehouse, as behind you you hear an all too familiar *pop!*

Now, on top of everything else, her. At least she's unlikely to get in the way of anything.

"Heya, Steph!" a high pitched voice shouts way too loud, way too close to your ear. What sounds like four pit bulls start barking loudly in response, and a few window lights flicker on in the surrounding slum.

"Sorry," Misfit stage-whispers sheepishly, way too late. "But I'm just so excited! I had to tell someone!"

Steph hopes that Charlie still has the communicator that she had when she took off. She taps her own comm. "Hey, Ch- uh. Other Batgirl?"

She's still alive. Hasn't poofed herself into outer space yet. Steph's relieved. Hopefully she's had better luck than Steph's had. "Did you catch the truck?"

A bunch of terrible scenarios run through Steph's head, and she has to take a deep breath before asking, "What exactly do you mean by that?"

"Oh," Steph replies. That... had not been one of the scenarios she'd imagined, but it's still pretty much not great. "Green Arrow, huh? Are you still with him? Where are you guys?"

"That's not good," Steph says, frowning. "The 'porting thing is getting less and less reliable, isn't it? That's dangerous. We should really figure out what's going on." As soon as she can bring herself to break the news to Babs, that is. "Can you give me an address? I wrapped things up with our friends at the dock for now. Maybe we should group up so we can work on things together."

Amusement Mile. That's not good, either, but Steph keeps that thought to herself. "Okay. I'm heading your way. I shouldn't be long."

Steph puts her comm away and starts up her bike. She can get to 12th and Broome in fifteen minutes tops, assuming the destruction between here and there isn't too bad. She sets off, hoping she can get there before anything too crazy happens.

"O...kay..." Steph mutters. "Time for Plan B." And a call to Oracle, but she's not going to talk and drive, not when she's taking a detour. Steph turns down a side street so she can catch another road up towards Amusement Mile.

Hopefully someone will be able to explain everything to her. Soon. Soon would be nice.
