Encrypted voice - Bat comm channels (anybody who might have those)

[forceforlight]

[The voice that comes through is Dick in full Nightwing mode. And it isn't Nightwing asking. It's as close to an order as he'll get with family.]

[That it's not been sent only to Rook says more about how much he's holding back than anything else.]

Rook. I need you on my location, stat.

[And then, under his breath but just enough to be caught by the microphone.]

I've got you. Just hold on.

[ Dick hangs on, though it's definitely a rough stop.

It feels wrong to stop, even if it's the most logical thing to do.

No pulse. Dying.

He feels a little colder inside. ]

I'm here. [ He doesn't exactly sound all "here." ] He won't need that long.

( jason had been trying not to lean on it. it didn't get him and bruce anywhere nice, but that had been more bruce's fault than his.

rook comes to a quick stop, and an alley just beyond where his bike is idling is where jason pops his head out of, red and black against dark shadows. he nods his head down the direction he'd come from, to where a shadow with wispy edges opens to another alley - just behind the building babs and dick are up on. )

[ Not waiting for further information, Tim takes the shadow portal at a run.

(Hopefully not a dead run.)

As he goes past Heron, he snaps. ]

Make sure Wren’s okay.


[ Birdie’s gotten quiet. Tim will check on Dick’s tracker once he’s clear. ]

[reneger]

( he'll check on wren. in a moment though, because as tim runs passed, jason's reaching out to grab onto him. not hard, just--wrapping fingers around his wrist long enough to delay his takeoff. )

You know what she'd hate worse than dying? You, dying in her place. Remember that.

( and then his grip's loosening, attention turning to wren for the moment. he'll follow through, keep an eye on tim, dick, and babs. but they've got a kid tagging along with them to be mindful of first. )

[ 'Make sure Wren's okay'? He's fine, he's not the one dying.

A small part of him doesn't want to walk through the portal and make it real. But he knows it is, no matter what he does. The least he can do is be there. For whatever good it will do.

He starts toward the portal. ]

Let's go.
