Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    Tuesday Night Lights. Tuesday Night Fights. Honestly Charlie is pretty sure it was Friday Night Lights. "To be fair.. the show was boring... I'm sure someone will have a better writeup of this on the cape watch forum..."

    Which is muttered to herself as she ducks behind a pillar at the Forum of the 12 Caesars avoids a shotgun blast. "Lets see. Three left." scattered around the forum are half a dozen people knocked flat, bags of loot scattered like tossed playing cards. She is right though there are three people still standing. One clutching a shotgun, the other two have assault rifles. They are trying to circle around to get the drop on the girl.

    She vanishes with a slash of pinkish purple smoke as a thread of chaos, tingoed with another dimension, wraps around her and convinces reality itself she was always standing behind the gunman with the shotgun. She brings both weighted gloves down in a wrecking ball swing on top of his head flattening him.

    The teleporting has been coming fast and furious.

Singularity has posed:
When you're a universe and your whole thing involved teleporting, when you catch a sense of a fellow teleporter, you get utterly curious. Maybe it is another universe! Though Singularity also worries that it could be that Antimatter has finally tracked her to this reality and has come for her again. But in the end, it is curiosity that wins out.

Right behind Misfit, she can sense the ripping and tearing of the universe as it swirls, manipulated into a glowing whirlpool of bright blue and periwinkle, before suddenly, from within is the form of a young woman that comes through. She at least has the shape of one. But her skin, hair, everything looks like it was cut and molded from the deepest recesses of the universe. The bright starfield stands out on the darkness of the space that makes her up. Her eyes are almond shaped with white filling it in with a glow and when she speaks, she has a similar white glow in her mouth. "Hello!" she greets the vigilante as she is suddenly there as one of the criminals was rushing towards Misfit and she opens another portal and she just... asorbs the criminal into her.

"Was he evil?" she asks, because she just wants to make sure he was the bad one here. "I like your costume!"

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    There is an adorable yelp of alarm as she feels things rip behind her and she is gone, again, with the slash of smoke and chaos. It is remarkable she is told to magic senses how loud her convincing reality she was always somewhere else. Questionable how much it twangs to dimensional sense. Definitely some it seems at minimum.

    Still less than a heartbeat later she is standing over yonder facing the young woman who just ate someone with her form somehow and the downed criminal she delt with herself. "Holy Crackers!?" is what slips out of her mouth, followed by a quick "Uh yeah, bad guys..." eyes flicking behind her goggles to the last standing criminal who is panickedly twisting his assault rifle around to try to fire on Singularity.

    "Watch Out!" and she flings an off kilter looking bat shaped throwing device at the gunhand of the criminal very quickly by reflex even as she shouts.

Singularity has posed:
The bullets fire at Singularity and slam into the young girl. But she doesn't move. She doesn't react, the bullets are just asorbed into her, and when she shifts, she ejects the first person that she took in. He lands on the ground and Singularity frowns. "Behave!" she orders.

At the same time, the bat device hits the hand of the gunman with the assault rifle, disarming him as the little universe just reaches out and the rifle is yanked from his hand and teleported away. "Safe." she says simply. "You will no longer attack!"

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    Charlie is relieved the girl isn't hurt. "Dang." she mutters and is then gone with yet another flash, popping in behind the disarmed gunman and sucker punching him and then pulling out some zipties as she rides him down to the ground to secure him.

    "So.. uh thanks. The costume thing. I like it to right. Also you look amazing." she notes chipperly.

    Which is broken up by her teleporting over to the guy who was ejected and rinse repeating to secure the crook. "Very cool trick with the absorbing and ejecting thing." she compliments before bounce teleporting to the next one. Carrying on a conversation as she secures the criminals and keeping one eye on the new arrival.

Singularity has posed:
"Not hurt!" she promises, as the little universe twirls around. "One second!" And now that she has her bearings, the little universe pulls all of the nearby criminals close to her, before opening a portal - that becomes a wormhole. "Found it!" she says excitedly.

Misfit can see it in the other side of the wormhole - the inside of a jail cell. The local Gotham police district at that. She starts to port the criminals one at a time with little blips as they are sucked into the wormhole and dropped into the jail cell.

"I am Singularity!" she offers in way of greetings as she continues to teleport criminals through.

She's doing it all completely wrong, but she's trying to expedite the work! "Thought you were universe. Sensed you teleporting." she explains. "I don't know many teleporters." comes the quiet admission. "Still making friends."

A criminal about to be pulled through gets a stern look. "You are not friend." Blip! "Are you friend of Nightwing?" She's in costume, use his costume name. "Or Tim? He lives near here!"

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    Charlie pops up to her feet from cinching a criminal up for the cops. Blinking she approaches the wormhole. "That is so frickin cool!" as she watches them get deposited. "Also... why didn't I think of doing that. I can open portals and yeet people too... but I didn't think of doing that do a jail to just deposit the bad guys..." she shakes her head picking up a bag of the stolen goods and hurling it through after a criminal.

    "I'm Misfit. I'm not sure exactly how I teleport to be honest. Some people think it is primal forces of chaos or magic or .. well.. I just call it bouncing. Not a universe as far as I know." when the strange new girl asks about Nightwing she nods "Yeah Nightwing is .. like uh family sort of.. oh.. eeeesh" she bootkicks a stirring criminal who hasn't been yeeted through yet unconcious. "Codenames only around bad guys..." she notes sincerely.

    "Are you a universe?" she peers at the field of stars carefully as she gets closer now.

Singularity has posed:
To be fair, Singularity never knew Tim was a hero and had an alias. He was always Tim. "Oh! You are family! I understand that. I do not have fsamily." she admits. Floating slightly off the ground, she beams with pride when Charlie comments on her teleporting idea. "Nico taught me! In other reality. Before this one." comes the explanation as she reaches up to idly play with her hair. She gets a momentary sad look, before she returns her attention to the situation at hand /blipping/ her portal close with an audible *POP*!

"I am Singularity." she greets again. "I am a singularity." So yes, a universe. More appropriately, a quantum realm given form and life. "Can see inside. If you want?"

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    Charlie does a half step to the side to look at Singularity from the side. "I've met a Nico, wonder if it is this realities Nico then. Not exactly an expert at other dimensions." she muses. "Though, to be fair, I've never tried to go to another dimension. Mostly because I don't exactly know what dimensions one can go to... you know?"

    "Oh, so your name is what you are. I... also am a bit of a Misfit, but not like in a bad way or anything. What would seeing inside entail?" she casually teleports displacing to the front of you to look at you head on once more.

Singularity has posed:
"There is a Nico here?!" Singularity cheers immediately. "But not same. Not remember. Feel." Charlie may hear it in the girl's voice. Nico was something special to her. Tempering her expectations and thoughts, she considers the question offered to her.

"I can be inside me as well. It is universe. Can breath. Can survive. Will not hurt. Just universe." So no standing on a planet. No sense of direction or being. Just standing in the vastness of a universe.

"Misfit? Is that your name?" she asks curiously, having realized she may have missed it earlier. When they are suddenly close together, she giggles and reaches up to touch Charlie's nose. She's cool to the touch. But it's like being kissed by a cool breeze. "Never seen freckles. In person."

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    "Does magic I think right?" and then Charlie grins and scrunches her nose up cutely and blushes. "I mean. It is one of my names. I have a few. That is my crime fighting name to protect people who know my other names." she gets a little rambly and then blinks. "I mean, you sort of have freckles too, just.. like... stars. It looks good."

    She pokes very gently at your shoulder with a gloved fingertip. "Okay sure, show me if you want. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't super curious." also super confident. Maybe super careless. This is definitely not one of the cautious brooding members of Gotham's crime fighting family. Strange powered girl shows up and offers trip to a universe. Why the heck not right.

Singularity has posed:
"Not here." Because yes, Singularity agrees, where they are now, if the police show, it would be awkward for the pair. So she opens her arms and expands a little, pulling Charlie inside of her. And then she blips away to another location. Inside of her, it's comfortable. The vastness of her inside is just... infinite. Stars, galaxies, she can see it all from where she stands within her.

Singularity appears beside her. "Hello! Welcome to me." she greets cheerfully. She lets Charlie get familiar with where they are. "Come. I want to show you." Walking to a spot, she presses on a panel and a window opens, showing their current location.

Space. And down below them is the gentle curve of a blue planet. Not Earth. Neptune. They are currently standing over the northern pole of the planet, Singularity waiting excitedly to see how Charlie reacts to her surprise.

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    There is another adorable EEP as Singularity expands and pulls Charlie inside of herself like that. Honestly what did Charlie think was going to happen. Which is the crux. The girl didn't think it through just acting on impulse.

    "OoooooooOoooh woah.." she says awed when she floats inside the vastness that is Singularity. "This is sooo coooool..." and she means it to, twisting a bit this way and that and looking all around until the other young woman appears beside her. "Just wow..." she notes. "Also.. I am glad I can breath in here.. I didn't even think to ask about that... because ..well .. I like breathing you know?"

    When the window opens she, teleports, which seems works for her hear. Though it may feel very very odd for the entity she is in as she convinces... her host she is actually by her by the portal through primal chaos.

    "Crackers!! What planet is this!!? whatever else, she is thrilled excited to see another planet, eyes wide behind her goggles.

Singularity has posed:
They are both creatures of impulse then. Singularity smiles brightly as he surprise has the intended effect! "I believe they call it Neptune." There's a shrug. "I go with the names that humans give things. To me, they have no names. They are just -- there. If I tried to name them all, I would run out of words."

She gives Charlie's hand a little squeeze to reassure her that she is real. "I can teleport anywhere." she explains. "If it exists and I know of it, I can show there." She moves to release her hand. "I can take you back home. If you have a location for it. I do not have own home. Live in myself. Or stay at GIRL."

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    "Dang. Neptune. I mean... it is really beautiful." she whispers awed as she stares at the beyond the frame still a bit wide eyed with wonder. She slowly shakes her head and then tilts it to the right like a dog staring at something confusing or bewondering really.

    She reflexively squeezes the hand slipped into hers back. "I think I can teleport whever I want. I mean. I don't actualy even have to .. precisely know where I am going if I can picture it... like if I want to teleport to someone I just do. I don't have to know where they are just who I want to go to... or like where .. like Neptune. The whole absolute zero and no oxygen would mess me up though."

    She twists to look back to Singularity when her hand is released. "What is GIRL.. that was like.. all caps.. or maybe has periods in it.. .like acryonm like SHIELD....?"

Singularity has posed:
"It means Genius In action Research Laboratory." Singularity explains. "Nadia is in charge of it, but Vivian is my friend. I am no genius. They keep me because I am unique." There's a little giggle at that as she stands in front of Charlie. Even here, inside of herself, she floats more than stands. It's an abstract concept for her.

She considers the group. "They are all really smart or unique. They are considered members. I am only an ally." A shrug of her shoulders. "I am okay with that. I do not need to eat. Or drink. I only need to sleep if I teleport too much. Can do that between dimensions." And while she's thinking about it, outside the window, Charlie can see the portal forming again.

After a few moments, the stars fold in on themselves with space and a portal opens, linking them back to Gotham. And a moment later they are back on a rooftop of the city.

She gives Charlie a few moments to get her bearings before opening herself so that she can step out.

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    Charlie gets her bearings pretty quickly really. She practically lives and breaths teleporting one way or another. At least two ways she personally uses. She steps a bit away to glance at the sky and at the HUD in her goggles confirming that she is in her dimension really.

    Not entirely sure why she thinks to check it, but she does.

    "I should try dimensions sometime." she really shouldn't but she is likely to try it now.

    "Girl sounds intereting. I mean. I figured it was all girls or something... I'm definitely not a genius though I am definitely unique. Or so people keep saying while sounding ever so slightly exhasperated about it..." a grin. "I suppose you don't have a phone or anything?"

Singularity has posed:
"Be careful if you try. Don't end up with zombies." Singularity cautions. "Or dimension where everyone is a dinosaur and you do not understand them." She sounds dead serious about this when she talks about it. Once she's sure that Charlie is okay, she puts a hand on her shoulder and gives a squeeze - and she has to reach up, because Charlie has like a full inch on her.

"I can show you it sometime. Talk to someone. Maybe join? I do not know if they have any of Nightwing's family in it." she admits, before there is a shake of her head. "Is almost all girls. All unique. All pretty in their own way. Like you." comes her reassuring words. "People weird around me as well. Scared, I think." she admits quietly.

But at the mention of a phone, she sticks a hand in her chest and roots around before pulling one out. "GIRL gave me phone. Said to keep in touch!" She smiles happily. "Do you need it?"

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    Charlie blushes again at being called pretty. "Thanks" she says though to the compliment. "That could be cool. I'm in Justice League Dark, but that is a magicky thing because I know magic. I'd love to meet your Genius GIRL friends sometime sure."

    "I'm not sure I could teleport to a dimension if I don't know it exists. I could maybe do the two you just mentioned, since they exist, but they both sound absolutely awful." pausing a beat. "Well okay maybe not the dinosaur one. That sounds exciting for a minute at least..." trailing off.

    "Oop.. anyhow.. I was going to give you my number and get yours so we can hang out or fight crime?"

Singularity has posed:
"Justice League... dark?" Singularity sounds confused about that. "Someone suggested I should join the Justice League since they said I was. OP?" Her look of confusion only seems to get worse at that. "Dinosaur one was weird. Do not recommend." There's a small snort at that, before Charlie explains about the phone.

"Oh! Would like that! I like having new friends." she admits as she plays with her hair again, brushing it with one hand over her shoulder before she presents the phone to Charlie. "I would like your number. Please."

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    Charlie fishes out her phone from a pouch. It is the superhero secure one that she got from Babs so uses that to give out to potential team ups. "Okay it is.." she rattles off the number slowly so the other woman can punch it in. "What is your number?" once it seems like it is gotten.

    "I like making new friends and doing team ups... also you are literally the only person I know who can teleport. Well other than the mages who can open portals.. but like.. actually just teleport by wanting to.. just the two of us as far as I've met."

Singularity has posed:
"Teleporting is fun. I do it all the time!" Singularity admits with a little giggle. "I would like to meet your friends too." she agrees as she shares her phone number, rattling it off pretty easily. And she waits for the little beep of confirmation that she has added a new friend.

When she sends her contact over, it shows a little picture of the universe. Because that's what she is. "We can teleport somewhere new together. Could be fun?" she suggests.

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    Charlie focuses on getting the contact information right, then syncs hers so there is a little Misfit M for the picture as well. Nice. Hax as Babs would say. Well okay she wouldn't ever say that.

    "I can definitely invite you to a team up or mission. It might involve magic though, hope that isn't a bad thing?" she looks up and tucks her phone away into the pouch. "I'd be game to teleport with you sure." though well she will have to rely on Singularity to take them there if it is somewhere new to her.

Singularity has posed:
"I have seen rabbit pulled from hat. That kind of magic?" Singularity asks. But she has a terrible poker face, the redhead can tell that the little universe is teasing. "I would like to see your magic. And if I can help. I would like to. Keep you safe." She nods sagely at that and considers.

Even though she just sorta yoinked Charlie into her, this time she holds out her arms as if expecting a hug. Because she is totally a hugger and she feels that Charlie is about to leave

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    "I can absolutely show you my magic sometime smartalec." she really does her best to not cuss it seems. "Though when I do fire magic it gets a lot out of hand so I am mostly focusing on enchanting and portals other people can use and stuff...." she grins not upset by the teasing.

    At the offer of the hug, well she blinks once then steps to give the small universe a hug. Why not right. She even bonks her forehead to Singularity's forehad lightly. "I'm glad I met you. This is going to be fun."

Singularity has posed:
*Bonk!* There's a giggle from Singularity. At this close, Charlie can pick it up. She smells of raspberries and rum. Sweet and slightly intoxicating. The universe lingers there for several seconds, as light as air in Charlie's arms before she pulls away when she's prompted to do so.

"I agree. Glad to meet you. Will have fun. Happy to share things with you!" she admits happily, as she starts to open another portal - this one connects her from where she is, to the entrance of GIRL's headquarters. "Hope to hear from you soon!" she says quietly.

Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe has posed:
    Charlie snaps off one of the most unmilitary salutes. "Absolutely. I am a bit scattered and ADHD though so don't hesitate to reach otu to me too okay!" really she is chaos, it is in her blood, and ADHD is to put it mildly some days.

    "Gotta go stop a jewelry store thing. See you later Singularity, thanks again!" and she is gone in a slash of that pink and purple smoke.
