I go patrollin', they hatin'

Who: Ellie + Cass | Joel + Cass
What: Cass meeting 2/3 of the last of us cast
When: At night When the lights go down
Where: in the city
Rating: rated E for Ellie's mouth!


[Ellie]
Maybe, possibly, she shouldn't be patrolling the night before Thanksgiving. Maybe she should be home and not preparing to be out all night in her Batsuit, but here she is, leaping from rooftop to rooftop with her eye out for people who are up to no good, for anything at all out of the ordinary that might give her something to do, maybe even someone to fight.

She's a superhero, but there just isn't a lot of crime in Paradisa. Still, free running is still a fun thing to do, so if Ellie should happen to look up on her walk through the city she might see a figure dressed all in black scaling a wall or swinging between buildings on a grapple line.

You know, a typical kind of sight. No big deal.



[Joel]
She spots him from the rooftops first, loaded down with weapons and making his way through the city late at night. It's as suspicious as it comes, there's really no topping this, and that's exciting. Finally a real bad guy, finally someone she can take down to make the city safe again.

Finally, something that resembles a problem that would happen in Gotham. Something Batgirl is needed for.

She tails him for a few blocks and stares hard at him, trying to read his body language from high up. Not a resident of the city, but someone from the castle is down here, which could make things a little more awkward if she has to knock him out and confiscate all those things he's got. He makes a turn that leads down an alley, it's a dead end there. As good a place as any for her to drop down to cut his escape off, standing right out in the open with her stitched up cowl, not even her eyes showing through.

In Gotham, they know to fear the bat emblazoned across her chest. Here, he'll probably think she's some freak with a weird fetish for black rubber, but that won't matter if he takes a shot and she lays him out. She's ready for a fight if he wants to start one.

"Don't suppose... you have good reason, to have those."

"Also tough."

Tougher than me, he thinks. Less fearful, more willing to take risks, more ruthless, able to show faith in the future -- the admiration is there, same as Cass' was when she spoke of her partner. Understated in comparison, but obvious nonetheless. In all his years of survival, he's never met anyone quite like her.

"Known her for a long time. About fifteen years." Hell, he might as well say it now that they've got a long walk back: "World's pretty much ending where we come from. We do what we can."

For each other. Anyone who's got a partner understands that and he has a weird feeling that a superhero would.
