Showdown at Slaughter Swamp

[newoutsiders]

Batgirl and Green Arrow have been riding for a few hours now, on their way to Slaughter Swamp: the last sighting of the mutated, truck driving zombie dubbed "Gingross." The red-tinged air pollution of Gotham fades behind you, giving way to the muted moonlight of a cloudy night sky. The swamp carries something of a supernatural reputation, as you're well aware- if the "hauntings" in Connor's building can be traced anywhere, Slaughter Swamp is as likely a point of origin as any.

Eventually, you run out of road and park the Batcycle. The nearest source of real light is coming through the window of a nearby, small wooden shack right on the edge of the swamp.

"I don't know," Steph admits. "I mean, we can't just leave them here. They were people before all of this. They deserve to be buried, but... I don't really know how to go about doing that."

"I'm alright, though I'm fearing how much shampoo I'm going to go through later."

She frowns, looking at the remains. "Call in the authorities? Maybe Waynetech labs?" she suggests. "That's where I took the police officer who was exposed." A frown. "I imagine Oracle will be alerting Batman to what happened here as well. The Swamp isn't in Gotham, but it's close enough to be a concern for him." And Dick will be concerned, she knows that much.

"Waynetech... sounds good." He looks down at the responsometer in his hand, then decides to secure it in one of the pockets of his belt before it can electrocute him again.

He looks back at the fortress. "Grundy's probably in there."

"We should secure the building before we call anyone in," Steph says. "If Grundy really is here, we don't want him crashing out and throwing cops around like confetti."

Connor looks askance at Starfire, who's still showing signs of exhaustion from that starbolt earlier. She's their heaviest hitter here, by a large margin. "Starfire? Are you okay taking point?"

[glowymeatshield]

Starfire nods, and takes a few steps ahead of the other two. "Do we want to see if Oracle can send us anymore backup before we try to take Grundy on?" she wonders.

"Batgirl? Do you think we can-"

He's interrupted by the flare of rocket engines.
