The Call

Jaime Reyes voice sounds over the comm-rings--all of them--and it sounds very urgent.

« Everyone on the ship, listen up! This is Jaime Reyes, your local 'Blowing this pop stand' coordinator and escape facilitation engineer. I need everyone on the ship to come to the City, in front of the Precinct, immediately. Grab people who don't have their comm rings with them--and tell them to grab their comm rings, people who are sleeping, whoever you find, and try to make sure everyone on the ship knows to come. This is very important. This is "getting the heck out of here" important. »

When they arrive, they arrive to find the Command Staff waiting, and a tiny, tiny young man standing on stone ledge from a fountain, waiting for them.

Here goes nothing.

"For now," he replies.

In truth, Bruce had something a little more drastic in mind. Simply keeping an eye on him wasn't going to fly. Jean-Paul wasn't like Jason, he wasn't family. Bruce doesn't look at him like he's misguided or wayward. He looks at him like he's the enemy.

Dick generally doesn't, either. There is a part of him that hates Azreal. As much as Dick hates anybody, at least. It's almost up there with how he feels about Boss Zucco.

He glances over, then nods. "For now." They had bigger fish to fry, after all. "Are you planning to go with them?"

"Going up against a super-sentient AI that's been perverted against the people it's supposed to protect? I think I have more than a little experience in that field."

Thank God Ollie wasn't there to hear Bruce say that. He'd have a stroke.

"You're not coming?"

Dick shook his head once. "No. Tim's already on the team and, if you're going with them? Well, one of us should stay back here. Keep an eye on the homefront, as it were."

Keep an eye on Jason. And anybody else who might be staying behind.

"Just don't let him shoot you again," and he really does mean that.

He smiled, though it was a thin thing. "I won't." And he wouldn't. Jason wasn't going to get the drop on him like that again.
