On a Wing and New Technology ((Open))

[vesper_verde]

After getting a small feeling working with a bunch of heroes to bring down some supernatural goings on in the city, Vesper determinedly updated his gear. A few test runs and some tweaking, he now had a fully upgraded suit. Now, the bat-suited man was trying to get back on regular patrols. With his recent engagement and his father in town for business, he had been a little lax on getting out.

An updraft helped carry him higher as he looked for action. He felt the need to put feet and fists into good use. Or maybe the new gear needed a night out. Either way he was scouring the streets with his hearing to find something other than noise from televisions that sounded dangerous.

Vesper wasn't the only one feeling the need for a workout of the heroic kind that night. Liza cast out her Cat's Claw line, swinging from building to building, scanning the streets and alleyways below for some civilians in need of rescue, or some thugs in need of a sound thumping. Violence placated the demon she was bonded to, violence against evildoers tended to annoy it.

Liza liked annoying the Basilisk.

She saw a shadow fly by to her right, and she froze, crouched on the edge of a rooftop. Her first thought on seeing the bat-winged shape was "Great. I thought we got rid of all the demons." Then she recognized it. Despite some changes to his armor, that was the man with the peculiar accents who had been involved in the battle with said demons. She hesitated. What was the proper protocol in situations like this? Was she supposed to throw her Cat's Claw out and snag his armor? Pick a fight? Stand up and wave?

Someone should really write a book on superhero etiquette.

The suited thug grabbed by Vesper was launched over his compatriots with a surprised scream. One of the local thugs was just about to squeeze another shot when his gun was yanked out of his hand. He let out a surprised bellow and looked up.

"Hey, it's the Bat! ... and a cat?"

The two gangs paused in shooting at each other to look at the intervening heroes.
