[INDENT]She was still alive and that was a start. 

[B][color=crimson]"Andrew Garfield really made this seem easy!"[/color][/B] The arrival of a new voice followed by the appearance of a boy in a domino mask was almost enough to distract Steph from the pain of the bullet graze.

[COLOR=DARKORCHID][B]"I really did enjoy that movie."[/B][/COLOR] Came the Spoiler's strained voice as she pushed herself to her feet, swinging her staff with what little strength she could muster.

[B][color=crimson]"That your best shot, man? Because I’d seriously like to see you make another!"[/color][/B] The newcomer asked as Steph felt a chuckle escape her.

[COLOR=DARKORCHID][B]"I think you have to ask it in the form of a riddle with these guys."[/B][/COLOR] She muttered before suddenly freezing as an authoritative voice yelled at the pair.

[sub][h3][color=red][i][b]" GCPD! Raise your hands up and don't make any sudden movements!"[/b][/i][/color][/h3][/sub]

Looking from under her hood, Steph turned her gaze towards the officer. Dressed in a trenchcoat, there was no doubt in her mind that he was a detective.

[COLOR=DARKORCHID][B]"GCPD must be stretched pretty thin to be sending their Dicks out as first responders."[/B][/COLOR] She muttered as the Riddler goons decided to make more poor decisions. Her jaw nearly dropped as the bullets were stopped midair before the Dick unleashed some sort of magic on them. Realizing how quickly she had gotten in over her head, Steph looked to the couple she had originally intervened to save before scrambling for the grapple launcher on her belt.

[b][color=red]"I take it you're going to let those two love birds free?"[/color][/b] Came the detective's voice as the Spoiler did everything in her power to issue a nonchalant response.

[COLOR=DARKORCHID][B]"All yours Dick, too hot for me here anyways."[/B][/COLOR] She responded, grappling towards a low hanging roof as she began to make her way towards home.

[COLOR=DARKORCHID][B]"Thanks for the team up Cutie!"[/B][/COLOR] She called back to the young boy who had come to aid. Turning back to the task before her, Steph fired the grapple again beginning her ascent to Gotham's towering heights. Blood had soaked into her costume, the sleeve sticking and pulling with each motion she made while climbing. The pain once again threatening to cause her to black out. 

[COLOR=DARKORCHID][B][I]C'mon Steph, pull it together. WWBD? Probably growl at the pain in that Clint Eastwood voice of his. 'I don't have time for you.'[/I][/B][/COLOR] The thought of it almost made her laugh as she pulled herself onto the roof top before collapsing into the gravel exhausted. Raising her head, Steph scanned the twinkling skyline as stars and lights alike lit up Gotham beneath the heavy cloud of fog. Home seemed so far away yet, but she had to make it. There was no way her mother was getting a phone call from the authorities stating she was found dead in costume in Devil's Square. 

[COLOR=DARKORCHID][B][I]Keep moving, there's waffles at home girl.[/i][/b][/COLOR][/INDENT]
