WHO: bats & co
WHEN: April 30th-ish.
WHERE: Wayne Manor
WHAT: an important meeting.
NOTES\WARNINGS:

( with the announcement comes a need to prepare; one that, unfortunately for most of their group, requires planning together. thus, those from gotham and close associates either receive a ping on their devices, coded with instructions of when to meet up, or - a note left where they'd find it, equally coded, because no one's leaving obvious meeting notes behind.

the manor's massive living space is where everyone settles, rather than the cave. not all of them arrived in uniform, and considering goliath has made himself comfortable and is taking a nap - well. it's best not to disturb him. )

[ Barbara doesn't miss it. But he doesn't have to say it.
He's sitting there. Because Damian asked.

Barbara has no reasons to be covert about it, so it will be very clear that Barbara's gaze first searches out Cass and Steph, studying them both a long beat, before flicking up at Dick, the person he's talking to currently, for barely a second, before back to Bruce. ] I'm rather flexible where it comes to that. It will depend more on how certain other people fall out first. Who else might choose whom, or might need more support.

[ It's not a foregone conclusion that because she walked in here with Dick, they're going into the labyrinth together. In many ways, they are better together (in any number of realms), but they've both been doing this job for well over a decade and doing just as damn well a good job of it when they weren't together or even in the same city.

And that they are the people in the room who have to take over for their Bruce. ]

( bruce doesn't like the idea of having to work with— rely on someone else to make it through this labyrinth they're all being subjected to. he'd rather go it alone. figures he can get to the end faster that way, but. it's damian who wants to go with him, who claims that batman needs robin and how his place his at his side, so. rather than argue it, he's just going along with damian's suggestion.

even if it's more like a demand.

it does help they've already spent a month more or less together, both in and ot of the suits out of all of them, damian is who he's the most familiar with. or at least, about as familiar as he can be currently. )

Probably a good idea to come up with ways to stay in contact. There's the ear pieces and trackers, but that's not reliable. Might have to resort to something a little more morse code.

( just a thought. )

[ Barbara nodded, leaning back in her chair, reaching a hand up to double tap her fingertip on the flat skin just in front of her tragus. The gesture indicative of the comm system. ] The whole thing is far more public than I like, too. Than my system back home.

As for Morse code--

[ Bab's hand slips to her chin,
elbow setting on the arm of a char. ]

Depends on if you're thinking more morse, with a cipher layer only we know,
or just dealing with it if anyone else happens to be there and knows it, too.

Something we'd all know. That way we know who's who.

( which literally does not give them much time to figure out, but. bruce doesn't exactly go around trusting anyone and everyone. )

Simple but unique.
General check-in windows.

[ Barbara talking almost more to herself, gaze centering somewhere in the air, averted slightly, and her focus shifts back and forth almost as though there were words woven there, just out of view of everyone else. The combination of her vast knowledge, her eidetic memory, and even the simple mathematics of who in the room would need the most time to memorize this potentially brand new code. It's less pensive and more absently searching, considering, casting aside options at the speed of her heartbeat and quiet breaths in and out her nose.

She doesn't think about whether she should say something and fills the silence between them. Without thinking about the ripples, she slips into a task that would be usually, and uniquely, hers and how it's been years and years since she was ever bothered by working in silence with Bruce as an adult instead of a fledgling child semi-beholden to his grace. ]
