So much for chilling out for the night and watching the weekly monster flick. As if that was really much of an option. Well, some nights were quieter than others, despite how gruesome Gotham can be, but quiet was definitely not going to come easy tonight. Not for the Outsiders, if the lead that they had been recently chasing was anything to go on and well, for Arsenal was certainly more than just a gut feeling. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up for a reason, surprisingly less fear and more his hunter instincts. Attacks happened all the time in Gotham and these were reported in small detail to the public. Some hushed down to a possible dog attack and perhaps even a cat attack. Teeth. Claws. Bodies town apart. What ever it was, was potentially not human. Though it was clearly no dog or cat, from the details the team had uncovered so far. From the tracking the Outsiders had led, seemed to fall down more into the sewer region… Of course there was no telling how vast that would spread… The Outsiders wouldn’t sit to find out… As it was already a few hours from midnight. As Arsenal had began his look through the database and checked cameras. Checked all reports, even the smallest. There was already a sign… A hit. Perhaps a sighting, located in one of the large subway tunnels between the east and west route… Now was the time to re-group and to take action… Arsenal had already put out the alert to the other members of the outsiders. Signalling, it was time for business, to set out the plans and get this thing rolling… One of the bigger unknown was really exactly what they’d be faced with and just how many. There were some physical descriptions to go on, but they were so vague and not always the most solid to go on… It merely meant they had to be prepared for the worst. In most cases, they’ve been through worst several times round… Though with the signs these were creatures, not humans. It certainly suggested more explosives.
Arsenal moved out of the main section of the bunker and into the back room. That the entrance for was generally well hidden, which contained a lot of his babies. Weapons, for the Outsiders, Particularly for the ones that needed them… A lot were his. He was called Arsenal for a reason and tonight… Tonight he need to be seriously packing with his Arsenal. Without of course being completely weighed down, but surprisingly how his suit was made. That was never a problem. Even if he was completely out of the shadow of The Emerald Archer. Arsenal could adapt. This was what he loved to do. This what he needed to do. As he began gather up arrows. Sticking them in his quiver that would be strapped to his back and small that was strapped to the belt at his waist. Grabbing at knives. Blades. Cross bow. Fire arms. Bolas… Tucking all these weapons in different places within his red suit. Before zipping up the rest of his suit up and snug. It was tight. Firm, but was not in anyway restrictive and no weapon would just randomly fall out of place, despite he was literally loaded. He could almost hear voices, movement in the bunker, potentially of the other members. Ready for action.
The last thing Arsenal needed, was explosives. Generally homemade, it was kinda like the kfc secret. No one really needed to know his steps to build a bomb, because quite frankly not all bombs or explosives were the same. Though they certainly wouldn’t go off until he wanted to, well that was the hope. That was the reason for testing, but then of course one can only test so much… One thing was for sure they’d be effective. Though blowing up the city of course wasn’t really part of his plan, but things were more important depending on the level of danger. At the end of the day Arsenal wasn’t going to care about a few missed placed bricks and more about missed placed bodies. As his gloves hands fidgeted with few of his explosives. Which decent amount of care. Before loading them up… Perhaps in less style, but practical in a back pack. He certainly had to make do without his connections, but clearly he made it work brilliantly enough. Putting the strap of the bag over his shoulder. Lifting his cap momentarily to run a hand through his red faux hair, before straightening his cap back in place. Moving away from rows of weapons, to head back to the main section of the bunker. Expecting the rest of the Outsiders to be there. Loaded and ready to disperse.

Somewhere close to the outskirts of Bludhaven, Starfire was doing business. Strapped into her purple suit and accessories. Red hair tossed out in flames and muscles flared from the heated aggression. Tying up loose ends, if one wanted to put a literal spin on it all. Much to help Nightwing with his city, as per usual when the tamaranean princess wasn’t taking care of titan business. It was on the slightly lighter side, but one could never know when things would really go on the flip side and Starfire was barely at the point to wipe her hands, before the familiar buzz came… No, not that Titan kind of buzz that almost had a fun little beat to it. This was outsiders, less bells and whistles. More, well almost like the jaws, although it barely got Starfire flinching in fright. In all her sweetness filled with sugar, Starfire was still very much a warrior… Ready for action. ’All Outsiders. Report to the Bunker immediately’ Sprang from the message in her contact device, fashioned in one of the decorative jewels on Starfire’s suit… With a couple mere moments to finish taking care of business at hand, Starfire didn’t linger much after that. Easily springing from her feet and floating up out of the surrounding trees, up into the darkening night. Flying with ease and swiftly through the city of Bludhaven. Which could almost, match Gotham in its grim night appeal, suppose Bludhaven wasn’t as big. In mere flashes of headlights some good feet below coming towards Starfire and away from her, she was soon with the City of Gotham. There was almost a change in the air, perhaps cooler. Perhaps more chilly to others, but it still prick Starfire’s hairs on her arms, just a tad. Heading in the direction of the Bunker in the east area, though she certainly contemplated what was the call for tonight. There was a couple of things she was aware on the radar, perhaps little to go on, but a birds eye view was never something to sniffle at. As she flew with swift speed. The tamaranean kept her eyes very much out in the open, piercing as much as she could through the darkened alleys. Looking for anything out of the ordinary, for a city like this, it wasn’t uncommon. Nothing, than possible grouping of a gang or was that a business deal. As she looked a little closer without running into a building, her stealth was seriously very on point, generally speaking. Hmmm. She did sniff the air out a bit as odd as it would seem, but Starfire does have excellent sense of smell, more so than humans. Apart of the fumes, mix of chemicals and the sewage. There was certainly something else in the air, or more perhaps below ground. Perhaps it was just a mutant rat, but somehow Starfire doubted that… There was certainly something familiar about it. Not investigating it greatly, more observing as Starfire then landed and through to the bunker through one of the back tunnels.
Once in the Outsider’s Bunker, Starfire made her way through. Entering into the main grouping area. With the various screens showing different corners of Gotham. Though her bright green eyes glanced, the Bunker was quiet, for now. Starfire was sure the other outsiders would be close behind, or already on the scene. Then again perhaps this would end up being a two on however many. She had certainly taken on a lot in her short tamaranean life.. As she stepped a little closer and walked past the screens. There was certainly activity happening. Some smaller crimes springing up, but seemed if not Batman or even Robin, the police would be on those cases. Was soon met with Arsenal exiting the armoury. Strapped to the nines. The tamaranean couldn’t deny it, she was a little envious, but she wasn’t without her own level of fire power. As it were.
”Greetings, Arsenal... That is a lot of artillery… What are we hunting?”
Simple, supposedly formal, but mostly with a good ounce of friendly. As Starfire greeted the red archer. With a simple smile and gleam to her eyes. As under it all, she still very much just saw Roy. Starfire raised a slight playful eyebrow and yet curious… Was there something specific? Perhaps it was something big. Perhaps there was a group. Or simply unknown or very little. Either really explained the need of so many weapons… Starfire stepped as side as she asked more directly to Arsenal, she knew hunting when she saw it.

Tonight wasn't exactly going as planned. Though when did they ever go according to an exact plan unless the criminals where trained like seals to follow a schedule. They could be predictable when it came to patterns.
Nightwing was out on his motorcycle going off to his next location to monitor some current activities.
Driving down one of the lower roads to escape to the more hidden roots of the alley systems, Nightwing saw an alert being send out through one of him com links.
If it hadn't been urgent he could have used the voice command to have the alert open to the computer screening system build into his mask. In this case, the alert came up automatically. Outsiders business, sent from Arsenal.
At that point, Nightwing hightailed it for Gotham. It might take a bit to get there, but at his speeds no big problem.
It wasn't long before he had gotten to the hidden entrance to the bunker. And he was racing down to the below ground safe haven of the Outsiders. Pulling in, knew most of the others would have beaten him there. A bit surprise to not see Supergirl there yet. Her having the powers she did allowed her to be almost or maybe even faster and the Flash. Hard to say without a real test.
Catching the last bit of what Starfire had said as he had walked into the central quarters of the bunker, leaving his motorcycle off to the vehicle entrance. "Wolves," Nightwing replied. "Tim and I have faced a run in with one of these creatures before. I'm assuming that is the reason for the urgent call?"
Nightwing joined the other two a distance from the weaponry. He'd go into this with what he already had on him. After the last match, he had made sure to be supplied with several stronger doses of tranquilizer and a few stronger powered weapons.

To true this City could be ripe with unpredictability. At this rate it would be almost expected, thankfully this mission… This Hunt. As Arsenal Manhandled some extra weaponry, he was backed fuller than a loaded gun and he just so happened to have two guns at the ready. Hmmm, nod perhaps? More like he was the one ripped off, he was just a little more subtle about waving them around… With his back to most who’d entered. Arsenal fiddled a little with the strings from the wrists of his gloves. Before pressing some keys. Popping up information, downloading it. Look for updates… Thankfully this hadn’t turned into a rescue mission… Arsenal had all the intended for it to remain that way. Get in there and stop it before anything would happen… No doubt in thinking it could… In this city anything and everything was bound to happen. More often at once, well a little less when the Outsiders showed up, but none of they hunters were seeking the glory… Get in there and be gone… That was usually the game plan… With eyes stern and intent as Arsenal moved along so when everyone got here, they’d be ready to jet off. Just at that. Not even after minutes had gone by and the Outsiders were beginning to arrive… Generally in style… Arsenal barely needed to peak an eye to know the fiery tamaranean princess stood but feet behind, that and he could clearly see her reflection in the tv screens. Starfire was hard to miss, nor the slight rise in her voice… Arsenal offered a slight smirk as he did turn to face her, tightening the last bit on his gloves and clipping another line of his belt.
”Greetings! You’re not jealous…? I do have extra… Fire arms, if ya want… Uh, not quite. I haven’t been able to get a clear detail on them yet. Not exactly camera friendly, as I found out… Twice..!“
Arsenal responded pointedly, he was after all in game mode, though while he could be very focused, he didn’t over do it. With the mild jest as Arsenal questioned whether Starfire felt left out, thats not to say she couldn’t handed… A weapon. He would never jest about something like that. His eyes shifted off as his hand gestured to his room of weapons and all the other good stuff. Quite honestly he’d probably feel naked without weapons… He could only imagine how… But before he could finish that thought, the lasting sounds of Nightwing’s bike coming to a stop and quickly made his presence known, before giving a rather prompt to answer… Wasn’t entirely true… Not that there weren’t wolves out there. That was oddly another thing entirely… As Arsenal responded, this… This was different… What exactly he unfortunately didn’t have that answer… Least not a clear cut answer as Nightwing might come to expect or give. This is not to discredit Arsenal’s skills with technology. He was leaps and bounds more than people could give him credit.. It wasn’t a secret, least within the group that he was watching the city closely. With cameras in all kinds of places, very good hiding places, that he was sure even a couple know one could possibly know about, but with trying to obtain some decent footage of what they would be actually facing… Well, that was a little tougher. As Arsenal moved along to more keys boards. Bringing up what he did get, but mostly he footage was either blurry, fuzzy, shaky or well completely underwater… Perhaps only coming upon this trail very recently was merit for why there were less answers, but they weren’t nothing… As Arsenal pulled up random information he did have. Sightings. Reports. From attacks, the missing and the few killings. Small feed on twitter and other social media sites. It hadn’t been near trending by any means so it was very much on the low as far as being news… Some foot prints. Scales. Many of the accounts seemed to almost point to Killer Croc, that would seem a lot easier to handle, Arsenal almost hope it was, but he was almost sure it wasn’t. All indicators pointed to more than one and it seemed far more primal than anything remotely human… A pure hunt, it could be…
”I did manage to scrape up a little DNA. Been putting it through the tests, even as we speak… So far nothing precise has come up, mostly pops up as unknown, but I did get a promising read. That suggests it is of reptilian origin, but other than that; dead ends… I swear this city is becoming more and more like the bayou… Most of the reports tonight seem to becoming from this part of the subway, earlier reports seem to be mostly in that area, we’ll be able to make a quick shortcut through the tunnels here and potentially split up here. To come from both ends and prevent whatever is down there from reaching above ground... Though for precaution, we’ll be needing to send out a scout to scope the surrounding streets and areas… Has no one seen Supergirl?“
Motioning swift hands with little hesitation. His mothership of a station could potentially confuse even the fairly technology advanced, but this was Arsenal’s baby. He built it from scratch. Knew every whim… Hmmm, perhaps there was a little benefit for having cyborg as you’re friend. That kinda bumps up your degrees, if Arsenal even ever went to college… Pulling at one of the vials Arsenal had popped into a slot in the machine, showing Nightwing. Swiftly because there wouldn’t be any time to waist. Any could result in who knows what in this city… However he was able to relay what he did know or at least what his computers could tell him… Sure perhaps somewhere in the back of his mind even as he know spoke of what kind of species they were dealing with, could suggest it wasn’t entirely of earth origins either. Would that seriously be a leap? In this city, most likely yes… Suppose it was more likely it was a result of mix breeding or simply a weird lab experiment… Not any weird than getting struck by lightening and ending up with fast feet… If only… As Arsenal clicked up tip that pretty much was what they knew, with a lot still unknown, but little information was still good. It wasn’t like they haven’t all worked with a lot less, besides hunting was fun with a little mystery… At that closing with a button and screens showing somewhere to the left of that. With an overall map of the subways. Sewers, etc. Most pointedly as Arsenal had the located zoomed on one of the screens where the hit was reports were coming from tonight. Whilst with slight circle around that and a couple random nearby spots of brief, but notable earlier reports. As Arsenal gestured a hand to where they should leave from, split and circle so to speak. All with the open mind that things could change once they got into the thick of things, but as Arsenal mentioned precautions. Because even though no reports seemed to be coming from the city itself, doesn’t mean its completely safe. Whatever is down there, is good at hiding so far… At that thought he needn’t have to gaze to notice the absences of Supergirl. She might be one good to do a little scouting, but thats not to suggest Starfire couldn’t nor Nightwing. Though, Arsenal was for sure they were gonna need a good amount of power as well going into the sewers. His weapons were spectacular, but one could never underestimate the power of a tamaranean nor a kryptonian. Something neither man in the bunker right now, honestly had.

This was still somewhat of a change. From the Titans, but suppose that was kind of the point. Sure the tower was, what? 75 percent, hmmm perhaps that was being a little generous, as to how much business it was over being homely. Or even simply neat, well depending on the room…. The outsider bunker was remote under the ground, but it most certainly sung business… Even the couch barely seemed broken in… As the tamaranean could slightly glance about the room as she approached Arsenal. It was still nice, least for her to be working with her friends… Roy, as leader was a little unexpected, but surprisingly nice. Starfire wasn’t much of a rebel, than she simply was an outsider to this planet, though certainly with the right company. Starfire could feel more like an insider… Though for now, she was certainly up for the mission… Which she was curious to get details and get ready spring like the warrior that she was… Thus, the slight gleam in her bright green eyes at the many weapons strapped to Arsenal… They were familiar, whilst also different than the weapons she had trained with as a young tamaranean, but such training never really leaves you. Does it? Though, Jealous? Starfire’s eyes played slightly, whilst crossing her golden arms ever so slightly in response… Hmmm, humans… Or simply Roy, being Roy… As her eyes strayed to Roy offering the additional fire arms. As if she didn’t have the literal.
”No, I’m good with my own… But thank-you… Wolves, Wh..? Is that how you got the scratches?”
Shaking her head along with her curly red hair, she liked to believe she wasn’t much of the jealousy type, but suppose it wasn’t exactly something someone would always realise… In this case. Definitely not jealous. Though certainly she could appreciate the weapons, but her unique abilities still held plenty of merit. As Kory happily pointed out, not that anyone could easily forget. The energy. The power that ran through Starfire’s body and pretty much was her life source. Unlike a human. As her right hand gently glowed, though didn’t throw any star bolts. That may have turned up a table or two… Smiled as she politely thanked Roy anyways… Suppose is she got weak, but nah… She was feeling pretty strong today. Starfire got a good dose of sunshine…. At that thought, came the sounds of Nightwing’s bike. Such familiarities never got old. As Starfire slightly turned her head, with smile. She was happy to see him. Who better to go on the hunt than the former Robin and Speedy… And Supergirl? Starfire was sure she’d be here soon… Watched Nightwing as he approached, breaking the distance, yes it sure tipped into the Batman sort of entrances, only better… Motioned a little closer and kissed him in the cheek… Keeping it business, but enough… For now. Simple sweet and yet unexpected. As Nightwing responded to her question, with an assumption… Wolves? Oddly a scene popped in her head from Beauty and the Beast… Hmmm, but she imagined it didn’t play out with Dick picking the wrong path… Given how savvy both Dick and Tim… Though there certainly was added tone of concern… Perhaps Dick had briefed her, but mostly seemed new to her, though it might explain the scratches she found, interestingly he squirmed a little the beast when it came to cleaning them… Which, in the life of a hero was frequent, well more than others. Though even Kory wasn’t alway so resilient… Mindfully asking, whilst still very much wanting to know what was actually happening… Were they fighting wolves? She knew they could be dangerous, but that much? Seemed kinda odd, weren’t they more on the outskirts of cities? Hmmm, though as Starfire wondered. Roy seemed to suggest otherwise… As the footage now springing on the screens took her attention… What footage there was. Tracks. Teeth marks. Claws. Victims. The shaky footage… It least seemed to point to something more animal, though suppose stranger things had happened… Reptilian? That certainly seemed a lead… From strands of the DNA showed, least didn’t point to any human origin… Which suggested they weren’t simply catching the bad guy and locking him away…. It did seem interesting to her that the DNA was still mostly unknown…
”Maybe they’re not of Earth origins…? There is something familiar with this pattern… I just wonder… How they got here..? No, not recently… I can scout and sniff them out, if you want… Does this mean, an actual hunt? We’re taking them out?”
Starfire suggested, though it could simply be a mutation or a sub species of some kind. Though there was something about it all that suggested otherwise, but she could be wrong. As her golden fingers gestured slightly to the screens, particularly the DNA reading… She had visited quite a few planets and knew of even more, but reptilian was a widespread gene it seemed. Even the citadel, but that was very unlikely… If they were here again, they’d definitely know about it. More she just questioned how they even just got into Gotham, the ocean? Rivers? Or cooked up in a lab somewhere? This planet… This city was certainly an interesting one… Starfire looked to Nightwing, before shaking her head as she couldn’t say she had heard from Supergirl… Least not today or even the day before… She was sure she’d be here soon, but surely Starfire still felt concern if something was wrong… Before offering to scout. Fly and sniff them out… Starfire was sure this explained the strange scent in the air… Curious, though how they were going to stop them. Drive them out? Chase them out? Kill them? Capture them? Or it, but it did seem to suggest more than one from all the details… It had been a good while since Starfire experienced such a hunt, if this was what this was going to be.
