The First Night - Fool's Errands [Action]

[cowledcrusader]

 [Earlier in the week, Bruce, or perhaps more properly, "Gaff", managed to find his Batsuit and equipment, hopefully before prying eyes discovered them.  Since then he had done minimal patrols around the village.

But today was different.  Previously unafflicted by the experiment, tonight Batman has been suddenly, and rather surprisingly hit with a species change.  And though it is not apparent outwardly... to him it's obvious.  Suddenly, he can hear just about anything, see things from miles away, and has an infinite amount of stamina.  It's unnatural, and it bothers him a great deal.  And that's to say nothing of all of the other powers he just picked up from becoming Kryptonian....

Nevertheless, he has to continue his nightly patrols.  Of course, without full control of these powers, he's liable to either make a mistake or two, or just have plain strange things happen.  He might even be seen flying.

Of course, how he's encountered could easily vary.  Either way, expect him to be doing his normal observation... as best as he can, anyway.  Mishaps are bound to happen when the world is made of cardboard.]

[You know, the funny thing about being Kryptonian is even when someone is being a ninja and even if they are one too, you can still hear them. And then immediately turn to see them. She hasn't figured out flight though - hell she might not even be able to fly. So when she sees a giant bat out of the corner of her vision

Is that the one guy or someone else? Either way, from the roof of her house-]

Hey, Batman!

[Spotted? By a teenage girl? ...This almost feels like a new low. But the positive thing is he's able to pinpoint her right away in return and glance over to her in reply from the next roof over.

He sees you too, Haruhi. But his body language to your super-sight would probably say he doesn't remember you.]

[...Huh. that hearing is good too - he was able to pinpoint her way fast. To test something, she drops her voice to a conversational tone; there should be no way that a human could clearly hear her from that far off. The lack of recognition is odd and- the mask makes it hard to tell but he looks somewhat different too. Younger? Older? One of those two, maybe]

You're not the young one with the red wings.

[He could hear her. Clearly. The one with red wings. That's puzzling. There had been talks of another Batman... was it really him from before, or was it this red winged crusader?

...Either way, he doesn't react to the statement visibly, though he draws closer to his edge of the roof.

What Haruhi probably doesn't know is Batman is an accomplished lip-reader, even if he couldn't hear her.]

[godbent]

[Huh, so maybe he didn't hear her? She pauses a moment, and then jumps. she's got nothing to hide, and the distance between their two buildings is something she can easily leap right now.

So hope you don't mind a teenager landing right next to you, Bats]

[He doesn't flinch, but he watches her closely. That jump was too far to make as an ordinary human, at least with that little effort.]

Red wings, huh?

[...He did hear you after all.]

[godbent]

[...Huh. She nods] Yeah, I think he's younger too.
