"Hero time...!"

"Welcome to superhero team up!"

"The girl leaves with me, or YOU'RE the one getting hurt!"

"Yep...! Just the way I planned it!"

I just...I just heard about what happened to Hay Lin, Irma and the others a few days ago. Kinda almost hard to believe, after what happened last week with over 60 Tamers vanishing, but...!

Hay Lin...she called me the resident Boy Wonder a lot, and I never got to tell her how much I liked hearing that. Irma...after Annie, she was someone I really saw myself spending a lot of time with! They're my friends, and...I'll never forget what they did for this world!

I won't forget either, kid.

...I think it's time we head back home X, but first there's something I gotta do.

(Locked to Terry)

Terry? You still here? If you are...this is for you.

(Attached: 5-10 of Igamon's Kunais)


(OOC: Strikes viewed by Terry McGinnis.)

...Batman.

Just thought you'd wanna know - I found Terry on a rooftop near where I was staying at. I think he's data frozen.

I'm gonna stick him in my place, make sure he's not kicked out since I'm moving on to another apartment, and when he's able to move again?

Tell him I said to stop following me...!

Think you should've mentioned this a few weeks ago, kid?

Maybe, but we were still on the mend back then...and besides, it kept us from getting back on you-know-who's radar again! After we do one last round of patrolling here in Neon, we'll head back to Tetha...

Before or after you get yelled at by your girl for not texting her about this latest catastrophe?

...You REALLY don't wanna go there, do you?

You're more like him than I thought...!

Guess I don't need to ask if either of you know what today is, 'cause everyone else has talked about it the entire day over the 'Comms!

So, other than patrolling like we do every night...think we should do something father/son like before it's time for us to go to work?

Hey, Irma...

I'm sure you heard about the prom that's coming up in a couple days, and I was just wondering if you...if you wanted to go. With me.

I'll even dress up in a suit that's not my costume!

Terra...!

Sorry about not getting in touch with you after the weekend was over-like yesterday, in case you found yourself hassled like I did-but I had a lot to think about.

Anyway, stop on by as soon as you can and when you've got everything you want; the car's packed with what we'll need on this trip, even if it's not totally about taking in the sights, and X and I are ready to go!

(Click)

What's the deal, kid? You were barely on the ball last night, and you've barely been keeping your head in the game since-!

Since when, X?

You know exactly what I'm talking about, and since he didn't sugarcoat it I won't sugarcoat this: you make your own future happen the way you want it to!

HE ALREADY TOLD ME WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN! How do I change something that already happened?

It happened in his time, not yours! Why else would he have told you about it if it could still happen to you?

He told me about it so that every time I think about facing him, alone or have someone in my corner, I have to worry about turning into...!

(sound of doors closing, car engine turning on and rubber peeling as the Redbird zooms out of the garage, audio turns off)

Think you're ready to get back out on the mean streets of Tetha, kid?

The 'bad guys' aren't gonna just let me rest up safely at home, and we've been gone longer than I wanted. Can't blame the hospital staff for making sure that I was completely 100% before releasing me, though.

Their food on the other hand...not really fit for a growing Boy Wonder! You're gonna have to find a tailor to help you make a new suit.

Why do you think I was grateful that our #1 guest kept sneaking food in when no one else was on duty? And, it's not like we have a butler around to help out with that task.


'Batman'...I know you've gotta be reading this, so I'll give you the 411 right now-the answer's still no on your offer even though you tried to make your point during that night!


(OOC: Strikes locked to 'Batman'/Owlman & Batfamily)

...Look who's finally awake. Get enough beauty sleep, Boy Wonder?

Very funny, X! Why do you sound like Nightwing anyway?! Did you have a growth spurt while I was recovering from surgery?

Guess you could say that, but I think it was 'cause I had to recover from being hit with numerous volts of electricity!

Point taken...! But I was awake a few times during the week. I just chose not to respond. Speaking of which...! (Yes, he's smirking!)

Terra, was it just me or did I see you and Hay Lin making out a few nights ago?


(OOC: Strikes are fail!locked. Others besides Terra can hear, except hostiles.)

(sounds of light, but definite laughter is heard)

...There's nothing funny about this, 'Batman!' Why are you...laughing...? (cries out as he's kicked onto the ground, groans in pain.)

One down...!

(Audio cuts.)


(OOC: Happens during the end of this log.)

Hey, Irma...can we talk? It's real important, and it's probably been on your mind for a while now-hasn't it?

Alright roomie, I know you noticed Pamela's post earlier regarding Barbara and everything and it's reasons like that that have kept you from getting back in the game. Not to mention your certain fear of a small, round-shaped being.

But from what I've gathered from talking with the younger Batman, it's not always gonna be like that. Getting the hang of our job, being a hero-that's one thing. Understanding girls-a totally different subject!

And getting over your fear of Jigglypuff is a prime example! Check out what I went through back in my world:


( I Win. )


And if that wasn't enough to convince you, check out the one thing you SHOULD be afraid of when it comes to Jigglypuff!


( The Whole Thing! )


Now, if you have anything to say try to remember to keep your voice down; the girls' show's about to start!

...I'm gonna assume you all heard about what happened with Joker, Doom, Wily and everything else. What I think we should focus on, besides getting them back into their cells, is looking after a would-be villain who never became that villain!

Happy Valentine's Day, Irma! I hope you don't have anything planned for tonight, 'cause I've got everything taken care of on my end for a little...surprise, just for you.

Here's something to keep you occupied for now; I was able to get it at a nearby store before they unfortunately ran out about 30 minutes later. X3


(Attached: Box of chocolates shaped like various ♥ & Ts, surprisingly. It's like Tim was able to get a few of the chocolates manufactured the way that he wanted them to look!)

Hey, Terry. There's something that's been on my mind for quite a while. Besides the fact that the Joker's involved with something weirder than usual-even for him!

Did you ever find yourself in situations where the job came in between you and your girlfriend? 'Cause I mean come on, you're Batman; you've gotta have the girls walking up to you just like Nightwing would! XD

Looks like we're just hours away from a New Year, and I'm kinda surprised a ball's not being put up in the middle of the city! Where's the excitement in this place?!

Am I actually gonna have to go to Neon City just to see some glitz & glamour around?


(Locked to Irma)

Hey, Irma...I know I didn't stick around that long on Christmas, but I hope you enjoyed the present I'd left you.

You and the Guardians have any plans to countdown to the New Year? If you do, count me in-I'll even show up in a suit if we're dressing up, and you know I don't do well with suits! XD


(Locked to Terry)

Hey, Terry-sorry I wasn't able to stop by and personally give you your gift, but it wasn't easy getting past all that Titan security just to leave it at your front door! You DO have a place to call home, right? I think I'll leave it there next year instead!


(OOC: Tim's gift to Irma-a promise ring that has an I embedded on both sides and the jewel is red. Tim's gift to Terry-a dark pair of sunglasses with red bat symbols on the sides.)

...He's here, and I don't mean the Batman that we're all familiar with!

X and I are gonna track him down and make sure he can't harm anyone here!

...Hey, Irma.

You planning on going to that one event with the others? That Creation Day, I mean? If you are, any chance I could check it out with you? Kinda like another date, I mean?

'Cause so far, any and all possible leads I've tried have come up zilch when it comes to trying to find Terra and my late-night patrols haven't helped much. They've just given X & me an excuse to 'chat' with Digimon who are less than helpful about things.

Let me know as soon as you can if you're up to going out with me, alright?

Hey, Irma...sorry I haven't kept in touch lately, but things have been kinda hectic. I'm not sure how we're gonna get things back to normal this time, but I'm sure we'll figure it all out!

When you're up to it, wanna head back to Axoryi for a while? I promise...no hijinxs this time from older brothers, unexpected Digimon attacks or food. Just you and me, two normal teens out on a normal date. We'll even go by Redbird International. XD
