Helena Bertinelli has posed:
Coming down the hallway, Helena looks around for Ted, carrying in her hands a tattered costume of purple and black leather. "Ted, where are you?" she wonders.

"I found my costume," she indicates, "What's left of it, I mean," she says frustratedly. "I think I stashed a spare---but I have to go back to the neighborhood. Do you have a weapon I can borrow?" she asks.

"Ted, what the f&&&? I have to go out to dig up my spare costume."

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord exit's his elevator. He's geared up in his Beetle suit and equipment and carrying a very high tech suitcase. "You... don't go back to Gotham just yet. You don't have to. Bobo the drome follows with a shiny staff it holds awkwardly. Ted goes over to the sofa and places the case in the coffee table. "I made something for you. You can't go back home till we get this Jonny Crewcut or whatever by the throat."

He pats the sofa next to him. "Let's say it's your birthday early." He looks very pleased with himself, though he does stifle a yawn.

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
Helena Bertinelli smirks a bit, "Clean-Cut, Johnny Clean-Cut," she reminds him. She points repeatedly to the tattered costume, "Ted, I just need to go over there for a day, that's all," she tells him and walks over to the coffee table, looking down at the case.

"My birthday? What'd you do?" she wonders.

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord stretches and yawns again. Then deciding to handle the unveiling himself, he presses a button on the case and it opens with a hissss. Inside is a familiar purple and black costume and cape, a pointy purple mask laid on top of it. "Happy birthday... and I really don't give a **** what his name is. He's going to be 'Loser who messed with the Huntress when we're done." He holds the outfit up for effect. "Uhm... had to approximate the size, but it stretches... I'll shut up now."

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
Helena Bertinelli reaches down and takes the costume, holding up so she can look at it. She doesn't say anything at first, "Spoiler promised to help us..." she says and trails off, still looking at the costume.

She glances at Ted with a smirk at first, "Ted, hey listen, I know I'd probably be---you know, I'd not be in the best situation if it weren't for you---maybe that was this guy's plan. He knows my family and he knows me, you know," she tries to explain, "What I'm saying is--nevermind," she blabbers.

She turns back to Ted and leans over to grab his collar in order to give him a quick kiss.

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord smiles and then makes a show of it not being a huge deal. "Yeah ok, whatever, uh, try the stuff on. I think I have made a good copy of this too... none of your stuff is exactly off the rack." He holds up a mini-crossbow. He bows his head to present it to her with both hands. In the case she can see a utility belt... stabby stuff. "I put a laser site on it too. Seemed easy enough..." Yes, the attention addict is actually a little flustered by the reaction he got.

"This guy thinks, you're like him and have no real friends. He's wrong on both counts."

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
"I'm a Bertinelli," Helena says, motioning to herself, "He's an Alonso. Mob families. We were good friends at first, at my Uncle's place, after all my family...was murdered," she explains.

She takes the little crossbow from him and holds it, "It's so small," she comments amusedly.

"Maybe he kept track of me. He certainly knows where I live. He's pretty smart. But not too smart."

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord shrugs. "I used advanced composites for the bow, titanium for the stock. In fact if things get dire, the stock makes a pretty good hammer. Bobo, give!" He holds his hand out and the drone hands the staff to Helena. "Bobo made this. I got to test his programming. Anyway try the stuff and the costume out now so I can fix anything I messed up."

"I don't understand something... after you make a couple million, you can parlay it into many millions legally... why do you... they stay crooks? I mean... I try to do good with what I made. Somepeople are just neutral but this... my God, your whole family. Helena Bertinelli... hello Helena Bertinelli."

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
Helena Bertinelli tilts her head up and smirks, "Yeah hi," she says and then adds, "What? Oh, not sure about that. He likes to control people. He was a sleazy asshole when I knew him, but I've lost track of him," she explains, and takes the bo staff from Ted. She twists it in her hand.

"Cool. Okay I'll try this stuff out."

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord checks his own gear as he waits. The drone hovers, waiting. "Go get me the smoke pellets., please." Bobo floats off to comply.

"So do you want your return and gearing up again to be a surprise to this Juhnny or do you want to give him something to worry about, before we actually meet to have a little talk?" He gets the smoke pellets from the bot and carefully places them in his belt. "Oh you want some smoke pellets? I'm taking a couple... wow..." He looks long and hard.

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
Helena Bertinelli walks off and returns in costume as purple and black HUNTRESS, walking back in front of the coffee table. She pulls on her gloves tightly and then puts a hand on her hip as she eyes Ted, "Where was that belt?" she asks him, looking around for it. She flips the bo staff off the table into her hand and asks, "Oh, does this thing have any tricks I should be aware of?"

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord reaches up, conscious of the height advantage she has in those boots. "Uhm, you hit a control here and over your eye and it activates your comm and cell phone. the staff collapsed whed you hit a button here but, only when you wear your gloves so someone else can't collapse it. The fabric itself is Resistweave. It insulates, is fireproof and is very hard to cut or pierce. I gave Spidey a suit and he loves it. Uhm, control in your glove here activates your bike. I think that's it. You look great... and tall."

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
Helena Bertinelli smirks again, "Tall huh? Nice," she comments, "I think my old military boots were good for stomping faces---breaking noses, that sort of thing," she says as she looks down at her boots, furrowing her brow.

She takes a few steps back and forth, "These boots," she comments, "You know, my old boots had a steel toe and were reinforced so I could kick balls around," she adds, "Maybe they weren't the best, don't know."

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord frowns. "Those have a steel toe, and armored soles. They're just more ergonomic. Wait... I want a selfie." He hands a tablet to the drone and stands next to Huntress giving her a hug around the waist. The drone takes a second to aim and clicks.

"You can crack a brick with those boots."

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
Helena Bertinelli puts an arm around Ted's neck and tries to mess up his selfie, "A selfie! Stop!" she lets out amusedly as she chokes him and messes up his hair but only for a second until she releases him and pushes him away.

"I better! You know, I have a rep. That's why I needed military boots."
