After a pretty good Christmas day, surprisingly so, Charlie has Oracle ping Batwing for her, cause she has that costume thing that the Titans gave her to give him and heck she won't turn down the chance to talk to him about… THINGS. She is chilling on a rooftop with a good view over and down towards the Narrows.

***

"Hey!" Batwing calls as he drops from above, not always the most stealthy of the bats when it isn't necessary. He lands crouched in front of her, then stands up straight. "Glad you wanted to meet. I actually got you a present." He holds out a wrapped gift that's about the size and shape of a small pizza box. "I know it's something you really want, so… until we can sit down and work on the other stuff, I thought this was a good start."

***

Charlie looks up and then looks stricken for a moment "I didn't get you anything." she notes with a tiny edge of panic. She is holding something folded up but it isn't a present for Batwing. "Thank you?" she ventures there looking at the gift box. Everyone keeps getting her cool presents and she can't afford or make anything useful.

***

"You don't even know who I am or what I like, it'd be crazy to expect a gift." Batwing laughs and motions for her to open the box. Then he looks down at what she's holding. "What's that?"

***

Charlie accepts the present and then offers the other up to Luke "Vorpal and Gar got it for me, its a cape like mine but made of spidersilk.. they said it is bulletproof and was really sweet of them… I thought maybe we could use it for the retractable bulletproof cape in the costume you are making me?" she opens her present carefully there and Squee. It is a very high pitched noise, teen girls can excel at it. "a utility belt!" she pulls it out now looking it over, not makeshift cloth, high tech and everything.

***

"Make sure you practice, you don't wanna get caught with your pants down not knowing what's in all of your pouches." Batwing instructs before he takes the cape, unwrapping and holding it up in both hands. "Yeah… I can use this. Spidersilk works very well for a cape, the actual armor of the suit can be made of my material, and this saves us some money!"

***

Charlie is busy peeking in pockets on the utility belt there. "Neat… this one is batarang sized." she notes and then peeks into another "I could put the scarf in this one…" Scarf? She grins up to you "Awesome… saving money is good since I don't have any at all." she nods bemused.

***

"I'd ask what you do but you don't even know who I am, so I guess that's not really fair." Batwing walks over to some elevated metal box and takes a seat, folding the cape but still looking over it. "This whole thing is hard, because we're all likeminded but we can't just reveal who we are and trade phone numbers."

***

Charlie shrugs "Everyone pretty much knows my name, I didn't get Misfit right away because I was going by Batgirl until I was scruffed and shaken for it…" she smiles lopsided under her mask. "You totally know what I do… I fight crime." yup that is it, she doesn't go to school. She doesn't have a job. She fights crime. "I could give you my phone, its one Oracle gave me.. "

***

"This can't be the -only- thing you do." Batwing stands back up, then walks over to the edge of the roof, peering down. "What did you do for Christmas? You didn't just fight crime on Christmas, right?"

***

Misfit thinks about that now "Last night I did.. I fought a lot of crime…" she ticks off on her fingers "Three burglars, one car robber, one home invasion, and two guys who tried to rob a toy store." she pauses a beat "Earlier today a friend invited me to their dad's house for Christmas dinner.. that was really nice…" she smiles thoughtfully. "I also went to a Christmas party last weekend that the Titans threw for members and friends.. that was amazing."

***

"Hey, it's not too late to do Christmas stuff. Sure, it's a high crime night and we have to make sure no one's getting burglarized. But who's to say we can't watch Netflix or something while we do that?" Batwing suddenly slips a smartphone from his belt, holding it up. "I know that crime fighting is great, but the dumb boring stuff in the rest of life is important too!"

***

Charlie fishes her own phone out "Hey I even play video games at home.. I get it.. but yeah I like fighting crime" it also means not thinking about the whole orphan thing at the holidays. "Oh hey want to see what else I got for christmas?" she digs around and pulls out a batarang, though it looks to be made of super dense coral. "Watch this…" she flings it hard into the sky and then holds her hand out "Return" and… it comes flapping back, like its little batarang wings come soaring back like a real bat.

***

"That's crazy! Who made that? It'd definitely save us a lot on batarang replacement costs… however much they are." Batwing wonders as he watches the batarang pretty closely, though behind his helmet it's impossible to see the excitement that's obvious in his tone.

***

Charlie nods "Isn't it amazing.. it has some sort of minor enchanment on it." she tucks it into her own utility belt for now "Storm Surge." she considers "He isn't human… I'm not entirely clear on what he is but it is some kind of coral. I think he might live under water… but he turns into a dragon.. its pretty frickin cool."

***

"Enchantment…" Batwing says with the tone of someone who might still be trying to forget that magic exists entirely. "Uh, I think we should just watch Netflix and take out the residential areas…" he suggests, avoiding the craziness of enchantments entirely.

***

Charlie considers "Eh then you definitely don't want to see Mr. Fenris's scarf…." she carefully tries on the utility belt above her existing one and moves, both will work for now. "That works for me, I bet we can find a few burglars.. they seem to hit houses of people on holiday"
