Brooklyn - Friday Evening FHT

Whether it was by a phone call, carrier pigeon or just plain handwavey goodness, the word got out that there was a Brooklyn in the multi-verse that was in trouble. Lucky enough there were a few good denizens of Fandom who were willing to help.

Coming through the portal right by the Brooklyn Bridge, it was readily apparent that portions of Brooklyn was in chaos. Buildings and people were "glitching" where the images of them shifted colors and shapes. For the buildings this was causing instabilities. For the people it was causing them pain.

And then there were the gremlins. They were now running around Brooklyn doing their biting thing on the populace of Brooklyn which added another layer of chaos to a borough that was already seeing enough weirdness.

Time for you all to big damn heroes, right?

"Shit. There's a costume I haven't seen in a while," Barry said as he started unpacking his drones and sending them aloft to scan the city. "Pockets still good enough for you?"

"Could be bigger," ~~Kathy~~ Banzai said, giving him a crooked smile that didn't quite meet her eyes. She'd foregone the mask; protecting her identity wasn't much of a concern these days. "But I wasn't gonna bring that up. Someone gets touchy."

"Well maybe it's time to give the old uniform a fucking upgrade," Barry said with a headtilt. "Bigger pockets. Maybe a new look just in case you want to take on a gig or two?"

He paused hesitantly for a moment. "Uh. And when this is all over I have a student I want you to meet. He could use... your experience in the hero area."

Kathy's brows quirked together a moment and then she nodded. "Yeah," she said quietly, giving him a smile. "Anytime. Just let me know when you wanna meet up."

"You'll like him. He's a sweet kid," Barry said putting on a headset and launching a few more drones. "He got a good dose of reality this week but I think some time with you would give him a definite point of view he needs."

Kathy's smile went a little sad. "You know it's not gonna be all rainbow and sunshine from me these days, right?" she checked. "My outlook on heroing had, uh. Changed a bit. From when we were kids."

Yes, Kathy. Which is why Barry had specified needs.

Barry turned to give Kathy a sympathetic look. "I know," he said, part of him feeling bad to ask it of her. "He's gone through the trauma of getting powers and watching two people die this week. One of them was his uncle. I can't think of anyone better to help him through that."

"Fuck," Kathy said, softly. "That poor kid. Yeah, seriously, Barry. Anytime, day or night. Gimme a call and I'll be in the next portal."

She nodded around. "This his Brooklyn?"

"Yeah," Barry said, with a look on his face that Kathy might recognize. It was the same look of worry when she had come back on patrol and was hurt during the process. It was plain and simple worrying.

He switched the display he had set up to monitor Kathy at one point. She might notice another name was added there. "His name is Miles. He and a bunch of other heroes are trying to end the source of this. Our job is to hold Brooklyn together until they do."

Kathy's lips twitched into a wry smile at that.

"Sounds familiar," she said. "Don't worry. You called the right people."
