One thing I miss about working with B: access to shit. This whole system I've got going - namely, the one where I don't have access to GCPD files unless I ask Oracle really nicely - is getting old. Like, really old. And old is never a good thing when your cases are time-sensitive. Like, oh, the possibility of kids being "exported" from the docks.

But I can't get the files I need, because I don't have B's connections. Not that he ever answers my calls, but... well, he's not answering my calls. My normal go-to in this situation is "blow shit up," but I don't want to hurt any bystanders, mostly because they're kids, and blowing them up isn't saving them.

This sucks.

You don't have to call me or Bruce in, but there's a better way to do this than breaking into the GCPD. Try calling Oracle again and explaining the situation, Barbara is not going to let a case as serious as this go. If you can, contact Commissioner Gordon directly. We can get good cops on the scene, he might even want to handle it himself.

It's also very possible to save the kids yourself WITHOUT blowing anything up. You're all smart kids, I'm sure you can think of something.

And, if all that fails, Plan S.

Yeah, we'll keep Plan S in mind.

It's not that I think Babs wouldn't want to help - it's that I know what her other case is at the moment, and I'd rather have her on that. If there was no other way to get the info I'd call her, but what she's doing is important. Time's of the essence and all of that.

Find Gordon then. Or you can save them yourselves. Saving kids definitely couldn't hurt the Red Hood's reputation.

From:

No, saving the kids is definitely in the plan. I just need a little more info so I don't hurt them in the process of saving them. That's what the whole breaking in thing is about.

Plan A also gets Child and Family Services onto the scene ASAP, which I think will be a lot easier on them than dealing with a bunch of weirdos in masks.

But.... even I have to admit having Superman on the scene wouldn't hurt either.

If Big Blue wants in on Plan A, I'm all for it, send him right to the site, but I also want every single foot on the ground that needs to be there. Police, paramedics, everyone.
