Tony glances at it, then hmms thoughtfully.

"I think the current default idea is 'follow dowser, angel your way in, I distract anybody who tries to stop you, you angel the nuke'."

Permalink

"Seems pretty solid to me, but I don't know the situation. Who has the nuke? Where'd they get it? Why is it in a city?"

Permalink

"It was originally some kind of clean power initiative. A man calling himself Bane stole it and got someone to turn it into a bomb for him, and now he's declared anarchy in Gotham. The bomb is supposedly in a guarded truck somewhere, being moved around the city to make it harder to find. I can verify that there are guarded trucks going around, but I don't know which ones are decoys or if they're all decoys and the bomb is actually somewhere else."

"Okay, so maybe we have a little car chase ahead of us. Tony, I don't think your range is quite what mine is, but can you mess with something in a truck from a car tailing it, if that's where the dowser takes us?"

Permalink

"Yeah. I prefer to get hands-on, but it's not a requirement. I'd have to see what's in the truck first, but I can just mess with the walls, no problem. Are we equipped for a car chase?"

Permalink

"We have a car," says John. "I'm not sure how much chasing it's up for."

Permalink

"Cam, feel like making us a better car?"

Permalink

"I can make us a better car. The humans are probably useful for knowledge of the city, since the dowser'll only do direction and not street directions."

Permalink

"Yeah," says John. "Either one of us could be your navigator. I'll probably draw less attention, though."

Permalink

"I can imagine circumstances where it'd be good to have me along. But John should probably drive. I can sit in the back, in case we need anybody intimidated."

Permalink

"Sounds like we've got ourselves a plan," says Tony.

Permalink

"Okay. Any preferences on car type?" Cam inquires, stretching his arms in front of him.

Permalink

"It had better be something that won't stand out too much. 2012 on the outside, but nice and modern under the covers. How much do you need specified? How much do you know about cars? I know a lot about cars."

Permalink

"I don't know that much about cars, but if you give me a make and model I can basically fake it, and combining an ancient chassis with a higher-tech something under the hood shouldn't be hard."

Permalink

"You could copy the car we drove here in, if you want a perfect example of 'boring, unremarkable local vehicle'," says the Joker.

Permalink

"Okay," says Tony. "Show me this car and I will tell you what yummy chocolate filling you should be giving it."

Permalink

"Shall we?" inquires Cam, heading for the same window they came in by.

Permalink

"Why are we shall-ing out the window?" inquires Tony, following.

Permalink

"Fastest way to get to the garage," says the Joker.

Permalink

"The Joker has some kind of philosophical objection to using his front door," says John.

Permalink

"My information about 2012 is really out of date and I don't remember ever hearing about this city in any year, so I wasn't even sure it was weird," snorts Cam.

Permalink
"It's weird," John affirms.

Out the window they all go, and down the stairs into the garage, and over to the car, which is smallish and a little decrepit-looking.

"Okay..." says Tony, circling it to make her inspection. "Yeah, this is doable. You know what would fit perfectly in this? A first-generation Estelle Apsis. The interior even almost matches; the upholstery came in this shade of grey. Just take all the guts of the Apsis and tuck it in this chassis with these hubcaps."

Permalink
"Sure thing," says Cam.

The car takes about twenty seconds and he makes it from the bottom up.
