Met another bird just now. I think she's a Kane? Who's familiar with Flamebird or Batwoman?

Just Jacob as far as we can tell. Kate and Beth are still in school overseas, and Catherine, for all of her faults is pretty law and order. Which is a good thing since she took over GCPD.

[forceforlight]

Wait. Jacob's gone to the Court of Owls in your world? And Beth's alive?

[batinbelfry]

Yeah, it was quite a shock to learn that one. Bruce didn't even know. But Jacob knew who each of us were.

[forceforlight]

Yeah, he does in my world, too. Because he's basically Kate's Alfred.

Though I guess, if Kate's still in school, she's not Batwoman in your world.

[batinbelfry]

I don't think I'd have minded as much if it had been something like that.

Big bad pulling all the strings of the city from the Shadows knowing who we are and what we do? Not good.

At least he didn't expose us, but I know it wasn't out of the kindness of his heart.

[forceforlight]

No, probably not. Probably more because exposing the family could mean exposing his own family to being outed. And the Court are all about staying behind the scenes. Or, at least, keeping their identities behind the masks.

[batinbelfry]

He kept trying to get us to join him which he should have known better. He was still so sure he'd get away with it when we turned him over to Montoya. It would have been interesting to see if he could have, except the League took him out first.

[forceforlight]

That part doesn't surprise me. The Court is really good about making certain they won't be exposed. And Jacob probably knew too much.

jfc

Like this whole family can't get any more fucked-up

[batinbelfry]

You realize you're tempting fate by asking that, right?

[robintohood]

yup

We're doomed

[batinbelfry]

I'm going to blame you if some Jokerized version of Bruce or his parents show up.

[If she only knew...]

[reneger]

babs
don't even joke about it

[batinbelfry]

Good point.

[robintohood]

[Oh dear...]

THAT I don't think I wanna know

[batinbelfry]

Just testing the tempting fate theory myself.

[robintohood]

At least we're in it together now

[forceforlight]

Babs, please. For the love of all that is holy, don't say things like that.

[batinbelfry]

I'm sorry.

[forceforlight]

It's all right. It's just...seen some crazy stuff back home.

[reneger]

boy do i have stories for you, junior

[robintohood]

Now you're just tickling my morbid curiosity

[reneger]

too many too-smart kids on network to justify spilling where it could potentially be hacked into

[robintohood]

Noted. Maybe next time when we're not beating each other's faces in

[reneger]

get me a drink and i'll consider it
