He was gonna be brought up during the speech to demonstrate how the foundation can make a difference for young boys in Gotham, he'd tell the sobstory about his criminal backstory and how he with dignity and thanks to compassion could become an upstanding young man, soon to be an adult and a fully functioning member of society. Even becoming the ward of the esteemed billionaire Bruce Wayne. The interview went relatively painless, Mr.Rosswell, the guy who was gonna run the new youth center introduced Mr.Todd as the speaker sent by Bruce Wayne himself, his latest ward. Jason walked onto the stage and laughed nervously. He cleared his throat, about to speak when he saw something outside the window, an explosion, the windows shook and he felt his Bat-senses kick in. [COLOR=#CD5C5C]"What the fu-"[/color] The Bat-Brat let out before an explosion rocked the building, a gastank of some kind blew just under the building, demolishing the windows and knocking out the power. Jason was thrown to the floor, along with everyone else. He crawled to his feet before everyone else, his jacket ripped on the right shoulder. He looked out the broken window and saw a handful of green monsters flying outside, following something as they paid no attention to the civilians inside. [i]Today of all days.[/i] Jason thought, looking around for anyone seriously wounded. He saw the the Security guards were tending to anyone who had been injured, so he could slip away from the crowd in the confusion. He'd run towards the garage. To the car. But before he could make it out of the lobby, a stray green monster had found it's way into the building, perhaps separated from it's pack. It swung it's spear at Jason, the boy dodged under the blade, sliding across the tiled floor, the monster swept with it's tail, he sprung up onto his feet and did a flip over the tail, dashing behind a table as the green laser came flying after him, stopped by the table it collided with. Jason ran into the stairway as the elevators were all offline. The staircase door was ripped off by the hulking beast who didn't enjoy the fact that his prey got away, chasing him down the stairs. Jason jumped over the ledge, grabbing the ledge three meters down, hopping from ledge to ledge as quickly as he could, descending the building into the parking garage below. The beast couldn't fly properly in the stairway that was too narrow for his wings, ripping down the railing as he was in pursuit of the boy. Jason turned the corner, untying his sash around his waist and turning it into a make-shift rope. When the monster came around, Jason jumped onto his back, using the sash as a blindfold to blind the monster, dodging his blind strikes at his back while he yanked at it. He was not strong enough to do anything here. Finally, the monster tore the sash in two with it's claws, prompting Jason to leap off him, onto the railing above, onto the second floor of the parking garage. [COLOR=#CD5C5C]"Thanks for the lift!"[/color] He shouted, rolling away from the incoming beam. Sprinting towards the car that was now in view. [COLOR=#CD5C5C]"I hate alien tech."[/color] He cursed under his breath, turning on his smartwatch and putting in the code to unlock the secret trunk of the car. "Nightwing's a Dick" his fingers typed as he ran. The trunk clicked open and Jason saw the beast come after him, he pulled the trunk open in panic and liften the reinforced suitcase as the beam was fired, turning around and using the case as a shield. The beam was deflected and Jason was knocked on his back, rolling backwards and back onto his feet. The case was reinforced with material Bruce had gotten from S.T.A.R and as far as the Robin knew, it was indestructible. He opened a hatch on the side, pulling out one Batarang, as he didn't have time to grab the entire suit, this would have to do. Jason circled the car as the alien followed him, sliding under it to appear on the other side, feinting the creature, slapping him with the case with one hand, spinning around and hitting him again with the case now held in both hands. The monster slid backwards, more annoyed than hurt by the hit. Jason hurled the case at him, hitting him in the face again. Jumping and kicking off the falling case for extra momentum, the Boy Wonder flipped in the air as he jammed the batarang into the monster's eye. Purple blood spurted as the beast cried in pain. Jason ducked under the beast, behind his back as he triggered the electronics in the weapon shocking the enemy. He eyed the foes weapon but it wasn't losing it's grip just yet. [COLOR=#CD5C5C]"Eat this."[/color] And with a press of a button, the stuck batarang exploded, forcing the beast to fall backwards onto Jason whom pressured it's legs with his body weight, felling the monster, and in doing so he could grab the weapon from it. In one swift motion he turned the spear around and jabbed it into the chest. He aimed for the right shoulder, but he had no clue about the monster's anatomy, but that usually did the trick. He had watched Bruce fight aliens before, and in general he wasn't as concerned about preserving alien life as he was human. Which seemed like a morale issue in general, but, perhaps that's an argument for another time. Jason had a city to save. His alerts informed him that there were hundreds, if not thousands of these things flying around New York. And considering he had almost died fighting one of them... [COLOR=#CD5C5C][i]This can only end well.[/i][/color]
