Gloom city

Hello again! Third update so far. It'll slow down eventually.

So patrol the day before yesterday was interesting. Robin had me tag along with him and basically acted as a mentor, pointing out things I missed and showing me signs of a burgular breaking in. I just 'picked up' whoever we managed to catch and ended up floating them in the air like balloons. Without strings. If the thieves are just ordinary thugs with little more than crowbars, there's little else I have to do. Except maybe dodge the crowbar they throw out of spite. I'm a little overpowered when dealing with normal people. Guns even the odds, though, especially the ones that fire bullets. Spikey is good at knocking those out of people's hands.

Right now, I'm in Gotham. Gloom city. Bat country. A criminal's paridise, or so I'm told. Robin and Phantom's home towns. To be honest, during my short stays here I haven't really noticed Gotham's ugly side, but maybe that's because I've been staying in relatively safe areas and haven't been looking for trouble. There's a certain person here and I don't want to meet him. The nastiest I've seen so far is the weather. Why is it always raining in this city?! Does nature consider this city's forboding architecture to be a series of mountians to drain clouds on? It doesn't make sense. Gotham's as gloomy as Metropolis is bright. For some reason, it makes me feel more relaxed about... Showing my 'wings' or having some tentacles poke out. That can't be good.

I swear, this city just creeps under a cloud when no one is looking.

My job today and the coming week is to guard one of the low-priority warehouses of Wayne Enterprises, instead of securing a tech transport to Stone City which turns out to be cheese or making sure the Titans' new toys aren't tempered with during transport. That way, some of the guards can be reassigned to higher-priority stores which are in danger of being robbed. Or something like that. It's probably going to be boring and uneventful, but hey, each piece of technology Chang fails to get his hand on is one less weapon in the hands of a madman threatening cities. I may not be a heroine like Starfire or Raven, but at least I'm helping, aren't I?
