Okay, in case anyone needs additional details I drew something up in mspaint.

Now before I go into this further I'm gonna remind everyone, we're all still rookies. We're likely to make mistakes. The diagram above is how I see the current situation. All the info I'm using for this breakdown was found with Google searches, took about 15 minutes or so. I mentioned before the gym itself had a large skylight. After one Google search I found gyms are only required to have sprinklers if they have a certain occupancy and if they have smoke detectors. This gym is like comparing a mom and pops diner to McDonalds. Nowhere near as crowded, so the top gym level likely wouldn't have sprinklers.

The lower level also has a big hole in it's ceiling exposing it to the late summer/early fall conditions of Gotham. Mild temperatures I would imagine even at night. The red dots represent what would be left of the sprinklers. Probably a third of the HQ would be reserved for our living quarters, kitchen, bathroom, showers, etc. with the rest being similar to the top floor with some gym equipment and a couple boxing rings. If a third of the HQ is where the battle isn't taking place, the remaining sprinklers wouldn't have too much of an effect. When Zero brings on a coldsnap [defined as a sudden and brief drop in temperature] it was said to drop the temperature of the water already in the floors, and freeze what was coming out of the sprinklers themselves. The giant holes in the building don't help with the keeping it cold, and one more google search had me reading about bright lights not effecting owls because they have 3 sets of eyelids. As far as the cold? Dozens of owls and birds function without problem in arctic temperatures and still manage to hunt 7-12 mice per day no matter the circumstances. These birds are bigger than 'Squatcho with the same large amounts of feathers covering their bodies as any owl would have.

In short, you guys have something more to go on now. Wildcat being more experienced than even Batman said to hit them with sonics. That was one of the only things I found in my searches that would slow them down for sure. Nobody seemed to reply to Zero's attempts at com link communication directly in his earlier posts, if he's in the middle of the battle bleeding... if there's an available hand he's gonna need some help now for sure. Wildcat can help now that he's on the scene, and I'll have WW and Levi catch up with Hero on their way to the gym. I was also gonna mention our Parasite [who's arm got ripped off] is now in a complete cocoon.
