[quote=@HalfOfLancelot] So much tension from the get go. *rubs maniacal hands together even tho he has no say in this matter* So, when you say rates, you mean they've got a target on their head for a Talon to swoop down and attack, correct? ;o And the one that doesn't rate comes swooping in to assist, or swoops in at the wrong time, wrong place? Lotsa swooping, but that's a given (all these kids and their grappling hooks) [s]sorry if i sound dumb[/s] [/quote] It wasn't an accident that the pairings are new vigilante/Cave approved vigilante. With a shit show coming to Gotham City, Alfred's sending the kids to tell the new vigilantes to "go home while you can still make it there." Doesn't matter if they do, or don't, at least the Batfamily tried to save them. So, no, it's not quite so random that these people are in the same scene together. The Batfamily will be going to find them. Except Talia and Dick, but I already touched on that. The only thing I forgot to say about that one is that it had to be Dick going to the Nykawa Center--with a small army of Talons hitting that instead of the one Talon going for Dick, I'm not sure anyone but Dick survives that encounter. They might, but I'm not certain of it, like I am with Nightwing.
