I'm not gonna ask anybody to check in because I'd guess we've all got bigger things to worry about right now. Just take care of yourselves and don't be that moron who gets killed because they can't or won't ask for help. [Yeah Shego, you have literally never been guilty of this.]

[Private to Regina]

I don't care if I'm a total stranger to you right now. Say something.

Where are you?

West side. [Aaand she furnishes him with a more complete location.] Regina fell overboard, she's helping to hold down a safehouse. I'm not going further than a ten block radius unless the world is ending.

[And he's blocking off the location on his map.] Good. She's kind of pissed that we - that our counterparts disappeared. [Still unsure how to feel about that, and once things are calm he's going to look into every non-Gotham based team he knows.]

Well. Look at this place. Can you really blame her?

Never said I did. But I want to make sure there's someone around to help them if they need it, especially since I'm not sure she'll ask.

Um, I think you've got the wrong channel? Are you a civilian? Do you need something?

[siigggghh at least whatever you are has to beat Repo flavor.]

Not a civilian, Regina. It's a long story.

I'm on my way to you. If there's anything you need I can pick it up on the way over.

Batman resurfaced just to top us off. Isn't that sweet? [She sounds kind of annoyed, actually.] Are you with them? I don't recognize your voice.

Don't know that I'd say 'with'. We're cooperating. It's a long story.

[And she's now very much making a landing outside your building, Regina. Full costume, though she's taking off the mask.]

[Regina is dressed in combat-ready gear and she's got a gun, and it comes up instantly as Shego lands. She's lucky -- a few weeks of very hard training ago, she probably would have pulled the trigger on sheer reflex.]

Is-- is it one I'm going to care about right now?

Probably not.

[She raises her hands nonthreateningly. After the gun, it's hard not to notice the paint job on Regina's nails.]

I'm not going to start anything. Here to help, okay? I know it's a long time coming.

I already told Batman, okay? If you want to help, just fix this so we can all go back to normal, already. [She lowers the gun, but she's clearly still ready to use it.]

There's people working on that. Is there anyone in this area giving you trouble? Trying to raid your supplies?

I've been taking care of them. [Her jaw sets when she says it: there's a reason she carries the gun all the time now. And a reason she knows how to use it.]

I'm asking if there's any gangs set up in this area. [She's already seen enough of Gotham to know this is a goddamn near certainty, it's just a matter of where.] If I can take the fight to them, that's a while you won't have to spend chipping away at them when they come to you. You can focus on getting people out of here.

[For the vigilante Regina, this is good enough. She nods slowly, gesturing with the gun.]

There's one group that hangs out in a laundromat three blocks that way. They're just normal randoms, but they take our food, especially the good stuff. There's another there, about seven blocks southeast, in the movie theater... And the super creeps are half a mile east, that's all disgusting defected cops and retired henchmen.

[She nods. Laundromat first, then the cops, then the theater. She'll have to ask one of the heavy lifters to deal with transport.]

I'll be back in two hours.
