If you're trying to be stealthy it's not working, I can see you.

[timboslice]

Then maybe the goal was for you to see me.

[ /waves at where Jason is ]

[red_hoods]

[Jason gives the smallest half wave back, if it can even be counted as that. ]

What are you doing here?

[timboslice]

Mook on your left. Better take care of that.

[ Tim gives an even smaller quarter wave. Is this supposed to be a contest of who can make the most pathetic hand gesture? ]

Believe it or not, I’m just here to help.

[red_hoods]

[This little shit. Also, mook on his left now has a bullet in his chest so he supposes he can't be too annoyed. Still]

I had an eye on him.

[timboslice]

Now you can say you had three.

Worried I’m cramping your style?

[ Or lack thereof, he wants to say. ]

[red_hoods]

that's what you tend to do.

i don't need your help, i'm good.

[as if tim can talk]

[timboslice]

Good, yes. But you’d be even better with backup.

If it offends you that much, I don’t even have to be there. I’ll just watch you hit people and make you feel judged.

Since I’m watching you.

[ Two R’s in one symbol is cool, okay? ]

[red_hoods]

what, and you think you'd make good backup? for me?

oh perfect, just what i want. a babysitter.

why are you really here?

[timboslice]

You implying you're a baby? Learn to love yourself, man.

[ Give it a minute. ]

I have a lead on who's been trafficking runaways.

[red_hoods]

no, i'm implying that you're a pain in my ass. stay out of my space.

[Double little shit. Well now he's listening]

tell me more about it.

[timboslice]

I could definitely say more...

If a certain someone would just accept my help.

[ Make that triple. ]

Mook on your six.

[red_hoods]

Will you stop it? I see them. I have my own plan of attack and you're messing with it.

anyway, forget them.

[And down the other guy goes as Jason is on the move. He hits another, then the last and then jumps to another roof. He's sure Tim is still keeping track]

tell me about the runaways, Red. All of the info. Now.

[timboslice]

I've been sending you the essential data since I arrived. Network's only decent out here.

They've been... cataloging every kid they've snatched.

[ Tim just landed right beside Jason, now. ]

It's ugly. It's Black Mask.

Seems he's been getting too desperate to turn a profit.

[red_hoods]

[Look, he's not always tapped into their system. He knows he can be, but... he feels like it's more to keep track of him than anything else and Jason hates it. He doesn't need to be kept track of.

He's surprised Tim is even getting through to him on the comm.... then again, it's Tim. Of course he is. So Jason gives in and connects to their network, getting all the info Tim has been sending him.

He barely looks over when Tim appears at his side.]

This has been going on for a week now. A week. Right under our noses. I know where the fucker is, I'll take him out tonight. This isn't going on any longer. I'm assuming your data includes the location of where they're stashing these kids?

[timboslice]

And by 'take him out', I hope you mean 'escort him to Belle Reve' or something.

I know where they're keeping the kids, Jason, and I know when they're being shipped out.

It won't be tonight. They're not done sweeping the streets.

But if we take them down now, you're gonna have to work with me here.

Promise you won't kill tonight, and I'll lead you to their location.

[ Quadruple little shit. Tim won't be easy to get rid of if only he has that information.

...Which, conveniently, is nowhere to be found in the data he sent to Jason. ]

[red_hoods]

Yeah, I'm a real escorting kinda guy.

[He says, words dripping with sarcasm. Please, Tim. It's bad enough it's Black Mask, but trafficking? He's not going to let any of these guys live]

Are you kidding me? You're willing to risk the lives of those kinda over the lives of the men assaulting and abusing them?

[Oh, Jason is very unhappy about this. Tim well get it when Jason gets in his face and shoves a finger at him]

We get the kids out of there and I take care of the trash. You don't even have to stick around for that part.

[timboslice]

We can both take them out without killing them.

You really think murdering them's sufficient payback? They need to face what they've done and suffer for it.

Alive.

[ He readies his grapnel gun. ]

Now are we just going to keep arguing, or can we get on with saving those kids?

[red_hoods]

Yeah, I think it's the perfect payback. They don't have a chance in hell of getting back out there to try anything like this again.

There's always a chance when they're alive and you damn well know it.

[Jason wants to shake some sense into Tim, but if he can get a location, he can get those kids out of harms way and they can deal with the rest after that]

Let's go.
