DC Universe- 2100

Derek gives her a blank stare, looking at the other two and then lets out a long sigh. "Yeah... I guess there's some truth in what you're saying.", he says, acting in character, being a bit of an ass for jokes' sake.

Nightwing smiled. "Welcome to the family." He told Nightingale.

"Well this will be interesting at least."

"Let's hope it doesn't get that interesting.", Derek says and heads for the monitors.

"So I'm guessing everyone here knows each other's identities?"

(debating on if I want to have Talon show up here now or have him meet Nightengale later)

"Basically, yes.", Derek answers.

(It wouldn't be odd for Talon to make his way to the cave for such an errand.)

"Basically" Talon said coming up behind all of them "Sorry if I am interrupting anything. Thought it was about time I stopped by to visit the cave."

"For what? The daily check up?", Derek said dryly and went to the monitor.

Nightwing looked between the two of them. "I'm gonna go get cleaned up." He said heading into the locker room.

"No, I don't need to check up on you" Talon said "I was just curious about this place."

"Had to relocate the cave, unfortunately.", Derek says. "It was starting to get a bit... crowded."

"I see, well there is definatly more room" Talon said looking around "and it seems you keep adding more members."

"It's not like I'm actively trying to fill up the cave.", Derek says and gets some water.

"They just come to you naturally" Talon smiled

"It would seem that way.", Derek says and brings up a news broadcast, watching it.

"Well, then I believe I shall take me leave" Talon said "unless you wish to do a little sparring?"

"I just came back from a group fight against a pack of assassins. I'm sure Angelica needs some exercise.", Derek says and glances over at his half sister.

Bat-Girl stood at the monitor, staring at it but not even passively playing attention. She was lost to her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Lorie finishes cleaning up and walks out to the cave.

"You awake?", Derek asks and nudges her.

"If she is interested then I will oblige" Talon smiled

"Huh?"  Angelica says as she snaps back to reality.  "Interested? In what?"

"Talon here wants a sparring partner. Although if you ask me it looks like he just wants to teach a lesson.", Derek says. "Are you alright, Angie?"

"Oh, uh, sure I'm fine. Just...thinking. Yeah, I guess I can spar with him a little. Distractions. I need distractions. Let's go," she says, holding the bridge of her nose. Then she turns to face the boys.

The three head over to the ring as the lights come on, brightening up the area. "Have fun.", Derek says to Talon.

"Don't encourage him," Angelica says.
