First Night [Action]

[In the middle of the previous night, a note will be left under the door of Clark Kent. It reads as follows:]

Clark,

There are urgent matters to discuss. Be on top of Community Housing 7 at midnight.

[The note is not signed and not dated. Mysterious letter is mysterious. The only question is whether or not Clark will meet him there at the appropriate time. As for the rest of the night before then, Batman will keep tabs on Luceti. He's looking for anyone in particular he might find useful. If you want to be shadowed by this vigilante or speak with him feel free to be out and about minding your own business. Don't worry about finding him. He'll find you.

Be warned, he may not even stop to talk if he doesn't want to. That's just how he is.]

[Kurtis is out and about tonight, patrolling the town in the wake of the recent attacks. He's probably pretty hard to miss. From Community House 1 he'll first go to the square.]

[A green... penguin. Thing. He saw this creature on the journals before, initially thinking it was someone's idea of a disguise. But it seems this "Kurtis" fellow was, in fact, real.

He's watching you from one of the rooftops in the square, Kurtis. He's concealed quite well, but do your Defender senses tingle?]

[Kurtis is particularly on edge tonight, but even so it's a while before he gets the sense that someone is following him. He keeps walking for a little while to make absolutely certain then stops and, without turning, he calls out.]

You can come out now. I know you're there.

[...Every bit as good as he sounded. Impressed, Batman glides down from the one of the buildings, landing in the shadows near Kurtis. Well enough that anyone else in the square probably missed him.]

[And from the shadows, Kurtis can probably make out most of his form, even if it's not most of his features. Your move, Defender.]

[Kurtis watches the figure. Human-shaped with long ears or perhaps horns. It had seemed almost bat-like when it leaped from the building. It was not someone Kurtis recognized]

Who are you? An enemy would have attacked by now.

[He'll unhelpfully answer from the shadows in his normal Batman voice. Though it's the sort of tone he would use with Commissioner Gordon, not a rogue or thug.]

Someone not unlike yourself, Defender of Earth.

Someone who protects the innocent, then? But why would you be following me?

[Who was this man? A New Feather who'd heard of Kurtis from one of the others?]

It pays to know about all sides in a situation. Knowing your enemy is never enough.

True enough. You've probably already realized that even among the Malnosso's prisoners not everyone is on the same side.

I'm aware there are many threats to the people of this village. They're all sloppy, except for Yuber.

Agreed. Yuber attacks his targets when they're alone, then teleports away before anyone can react.

I've heard of his ability to do that. For how clean he can be in his assaults, he's very bad about hiding just what he can do.

If he has a weakness, I'll find it.

Good luck. I haven't been able to find one, yet.

Everything has one. I'll be in contact once I find it.

Good. By the way, what's your name?

Batman.

[And with that, he aims his grapple gun to a nearby building and sails away into the night.]
