Phoebe Beacon has posed:
    Phoebe Beacon is not typically found in the computer labs -- her research is typically done in the medbay, examining scans of injuries to know them better.

    Tonight, though, she's sitting in her Balm armor, her hood pulled back and her domino on the top of her head. A half-emptied Gatorade is at her side, her eyes narrowed as she tries to channel Tim.

    What would Red Robin do? ... probably obsess and not eat anything. That would be bad.

    So she's thumbing through scans of the armor that X-23 had brought back, along with information pulled from the investigation into the fire at the Juvie. It didn't sit right with her.

Conner Kent has posed:
Conner has been busy with space preparation stuff, so he didn't get the report until an hour or so. Which means he came from New York as soon as feasible. "Pheebs!" Beat. "You okay? Where is Laura? I just got your report about the other night. I gotta talk with you two. And Tim too, if he is around." This time the young man looks rather unhappy, and nervous too. Not the usual Conner self.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hears the commotion and will come into the room looking about. He is looking around for trouble, and will do a circuit of the base before coming back to see whats up.

Phoebe Beacon has posed:
    "Hey Conner --" Phoebe begins, standing up, and she breathes out. "I'm fine, Laura's fine, it's been a bit and our healing factors have both kicked in." she states gently, and then sits back down at the computer. She looks to Conner, and then the incoming speedster as Bart comes in. "Hey, Bart."

    And then, back to Conner, she raises one eyebrow. "You're not usually out this way on a weeknight. I think Tim's doing Bat Stuff... what's going on?"

Conner Kent has posed:
"Those guys you met, the thing with the numbers in the faceplates," Conner gestures at his face, like drawing a number. "Those are N.O.W.H.E.R.E. goons. Tim wrote a pretty long report about them back in the Summer. The people behind them are the ones that cloned... or created me in a lab." He sighs, "Tim had a fight with one of their leaders back then. He was furious when they said Rose was in their list."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen 's brow raises a bit and looks over to the table, and moves to look over the shoulder, and says "So, this is the one with the report where they were trying to take Laura unhurt, and knew her code name?" He asks as he looks over to the other monitors.

Phoebe Beacon has posed:
    "That... is a problem. I remember reading that information -- but they were quiet for so loong... ma ybe not." Phoebe's face goes from thoughtful to curt.

    "We don't have eyes everywhere." she breathes out, and then turns back to the computer, searching for the information in the database.

    "They didn't care about me. Which is a shame. I'd /love/ to be kidnapped again." she states with sarcasm.

Conner Kent has posed:
"They have been kidnapping super kids for eight or nine years," points out Conner. "Tim estimated about five hundred world-wide since they started. But they just avoided the tri-city area until now. They just don't grab random people, all their attacks are planned."

But now they know about Phoebe, they might want to kidnap her. Sharing the love!

"Anyway, they have kept low profile so far," notes the young man. "But if they are now in Gotham... maybe they don't care about low profile anymore."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmms and ponders a moment "Think it is a full fledge unit of them or like one or two guys with hired flunkies, they can hand off if Batman comes upon them?

Phoebe Beacon has posed:
    "I don't think they were flunkies. They were... not all there. Metaphysically speaking." Phoebe considers as she leans back a moment in the chair, looking to Conner and Bart.

    "So, they portal in, grab kids, set everything on fire while killing their witnesses..." Phoebe trails off a moment. She touches her shoulder a moment.

    "... then go back to NOWHERE?"

Conner Kent has posed:
Conner sits down, looking at the remains Phoebe has gathered. "I don't know. I guess sometimes they do that. Killing witnesses at least. I did some research way back. And Rob did a more organized one last year. Not all they do is about kidnappings. Last time they were in Gotham they were trying to get some Smilex samples."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmms and says "Do you think we could set up a trap for them, I mean if they are after Laura, they would probably be after you as well. Set up some place where you two are going to be together, and when they come, we grab them and question them?

Phoebe Beacon has posed:
    "I... don't know if that will work. All the corpses in the building were found in different areas than the one that Laura took down. There wasn't a report of a body up there, but Laura seemed pretty keen on getting out of dodge." Phoebe purses her lips.

Conner Kent has posed:
"I don't know," replies Conner. "I am going to space with Superman and the other Kryptonians soon. I don't like a bit they are in Gotham. Although Tim guessed they don't have a large number of agents. Maybe two or three teams busy all over the world." He frowns a little more. "We should have these analyzed. If the Bats are busy then maybe STAR labs?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen says, "Maybe we could get Nadia or Cyborg at Titan's tower to look over it if we are wanting to keep it in more the superhero side of things."

Phoebe Beacon has posed:
    "I can see if I can get in touch with Batgirl again, since Tim is... busy." Phoebe states, rubbing the back of her head, then motions to the computers. "Pretty sure this is hooked up to the Bats, but I don't have the same levles of access." she breathes out. "I was supposed to go on a trip, but I'll stay here and keep an eye on things. Bart? If you don't mind giving me a hand with my rounds so we can get done quicker, I wouldn't mind following your lead -- and yeah. Pull in some Titan support. Laura was going to talk to some friends on her side."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit to Phoebe, and says "I'll help how ever you need me to Phoebe, need me to carry food or we looking for bad guys? If you want you can ride piggy back and we can do the patrol at speed together."
