The Meta led the way down the stairs, absorbing small tidbits of information from his team. With ever enthused Iceburn following behind, he was also being followed by an army of words. He didn’t respond to much of what she said outside of a nod when she presented an idea for a gameplan. While there was the uncertainty of how their weapons would react to her ice powers, she could prove useful otherwise.

On reaching the stairs down to the third floor, a boom from above reflexively made Metamorph’s head jut upward. His eyes connected with Iceburn for several seconds as his breath caught in his chest. Before he could even ask, Nymph’s voice reached his ear. An exhale of relief was released but his posture remained tense.

The mission being potentially compromised was bad, worse given the hostage situation. However, the possibility was always there, and being upset about it wouldn’t help. People’s lives were at stake. Thus, his expression narrowed in focus as he approached the door to the 3rd floor.

”This new information only tells us that we are now moving on borrowed time. We simply have to move quicker than they can relay orders. B-Squad, hurry to the next floor. That explosion was more than enough to put them on edge.” He made eye contact with Iceburn.

”We will need to neutralize the threats at the same time. I want you to act as a decoy for the roaming guard while I sneak through the room to find the hostage taker. You are good at being confusing, so keep him busy, and I will signal to you when to engage.” The Meta explained the plan, though left little time to converse as he entered the door and disappeared inside.

Although I’m still working on the backstory, I figure I’ll post this here so that you’ll have sumn to look at. XP

Also, @Fingal are the other superheroes from DC existent in the background or is this more so a grounded Bat-centralized universe?

I only ask because, there’s obviously the question of the Teen Titans, which I doubt would form given the circumstances. On the flipside if Superman doesn’t exist, I’d just have the flip some stuff around for how he got the name Nightwing, or potentially even just give him a new codename.

The First

Name: Richard “Dick” Grayson

Alias: [TBD]

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Skills/Abilities: Master Acrobat & Freerunner - With a talent for tricking instilled in by his parents, Dick has been Flying with them for as far back as he could remember. Although originally used for entertainment, his freakish nimbleness proved to be quite useful to crime-fighting with Batman. In time, navigating through cityscapes to chase down criminals became a specialty of his. There are few, if any, that can match his agility.

Master Martial Artist - To hone in on the boy’s already unique athleticism, Bruce taught him how to fight. At first it was pretty simple boxing, but it was when his acrobatics were implemented that he trained to do more creative maneuvers that made him a force to be reckoned with. As he’s gotten older, his body stronger, he’s come to rely less and less on gadgetry for help. Nightwing’s skill at fighting has become such that he could prove a challenge even to his mentor.

Charismatically Clever - In the time he’s lived and worked with the Great Bat-Detective, Dick’s developed quite the sharp wit and a silver tongue, to much of the former’s chagrin. There’ve been quite a few times when his sly nature has gotten him to both treasure and trouble. As far as crime fighting goes, he’s gotten villains to blab out their whole evil plans, goaded them into falling for traps, and come up with critical on-the-spot thinking in the clutch.

Equipment/Weapons: Batons - After becoming Nightwing, he’d gotten a contact that supplied him with some metal police batons that he’s come to repurpose. Beyond simply being melee weapons, they double as projectiles in a pinch as he’s practiced throwing them as well. Typically, he wields two at a time.

Backstory: Born to a family of acrobats, Dick Grayson began his life growing up in the ever-moving Haly’s Circus. With his parents, John and Mary Grayson, his family were known across the country as "The Flying Graysons," famed trapeze artists and acrobats. Although the country was going through the Great Depression, his family managed to get by, imparting to him that being a source of joy for others made their efforts worth it.

These happy times soon took a turn for the worse, as the mafia began targeting the circus. At eight years old, Dick witnessed the mob boss, Anthony Zucco, threaten Mr. Haly, demanding insurance for the safety of his performers. Mr. Haly refused the extortion and Dick went on his way. A day or so later, The Flying Grayson were going to be the headlining act. However, as they were preparing, Dick noticed a man tampering with the cord to their trapeze. Although he’d never seen that man before, he didn’t think much of it.

That lack of a second thought would forever haunt him, as when his parents started their act, the cords snapped. As the Graysons plummeted to earth, he saw life leave their eyes as their bodies shattered like glass. Through guilt and pain, Dick swore that day, he’d find justice for his parents. Hundreds bore witness to the tragedy, among them was the famous billionaire, Bruce Wayne. Feeling empathy for the boy's loss, Bruce decided to take the boy in as his legal ward, as none of Dick's family wanted him.

There was an initial culture shock from traveling poor to living stable in a big, albeit crime infested, city. However, Dick never took it for granted and did whatever Bruce asked him to. After a short while, the lad took notice of his mentor’s strange mannerisms and put together what he was doing all those late nights. Confronting the man about his life as the caped crusader, Dick wanted in.

Bruce decided that with the boy's extensive training in acrobatics and his sense of justice, he had just what’s needed to become Batman's partner. After rigorous training from Bruce, Robin the Boy Wonder, was christened. From then on, the first son of the Bat was born.

@DClassified @Fabricant451 @KaliW @SouffleGirl123: Would any of you happen to know anyone who would be interested in playing Bruce Wayne? It isn't urgent by any means - I won't be starting the game for a while yet.

@Fingal

Sorry bout the brief disappearing act, I just been busy for a bit. I don’t think I know anyone interested in being the Batman themselves. You could incorporate that into the story itself that for whatever reason Batman has been gone, then if a player picks him up then they can stroll right in.

Also just realized, Dick’s had to grow up during the great depression and through WWII. Question though, during the latter, was Batman around that entire time, or not?

Going to the inside of the security room, Metamorph did a quick sweep of it to assure that there were no civilians or criminals. As he did, he noted the differing layout of this floor, no cubicles or real office spaces, but a large control panel that controlled the many CCTV screens. Otherwise, there were two adjacent rooms, one containing the data servers while the second held typical security equipment, flashlights and weapons of sorts.

Why these robbers did not think to at least have one or two of their members up here felt concerning. Having footage of them left room for them to be identified any number of ways. When Iceburn related those same points aloud, he simply nodded. Regardless of their adversaries’ questionable planning, The Meta confirmed that it was just them on this floor and made his way back to Cybergirl, whom had connected to the mainframe. As she flipped through the differing floors that Talos had mentioned, The Meta took note of armed thieves. He asked her to flip to the south garage exit briefly when Talos decided to go aid them.

Catching them as the battle was ending, he absorbed the information Rain relayed.

”There are roughly eight assailants between floors two through six, two to a room. With the two searching the higher floors and three on the ground floor; the total is 13. Given the description of the weapons that Rain provided, Stormcaller and Talos capabilities specifically may prove useful.” The Meta started walking out of the security room, waving Iceburn to follow him.

”That said, B-Squad, cease your floor sweep and regroup with Nymph to make your way down to the 6th floor. A-Squad, after securing the garage, take that southern entrance inside to take control of the lobby. Squad-C will take floor 3. The goal is to entrap them in a pincer movement between floors, while maintaining a close enough distance to provide support if needed.”

Lol, I guess it has been years, but that is literally the premise, an ‘original’ Sheik being eventually enough of an influence on Zelda for her to take on his appearance after he dies.

Am I possibly bringing Sheik back?
