First case.

[As soon as Tim found himself suddenly transported to a strange new place, he scurried over to a shadow and began to gather intel. Wherever he went, a journal appeared at the area he was inspecting. After awhile he realized it was the same journal appearing over and over. So, he finally picked it up and began to read through it. The entries gave him a decent idea of what was going on. Combing the entries with the view of the sky made it obvious he was no longer on Earth. Tim was no stranger to the multiverse. He knew that the name “Wayne” was recognized in some of the alternative Earths.

When Tim finally dictates an entry of his own, his voice comes out sounding nervous and awkward. Instead of introducing himself as Tim Drake, the ward of multi-billionaire Bruce Wayne, he's Alvin Draper; confused high-school student.]

Okay, so I know there's the whole “be careful what you wish for”, but this is kind of overkill. And by “kind of”, I mean completely. I just wanted to get out of my Calculus test! A fire alarm or sneeze attack would have worked.

[His voice sounds increasingly nervous as he speaks.]

So, uh, my name is Alvin Draper and I'm not from around here. I don't even know if I'm from the same world as this place. This is what I get for wishing I was in all of those sci-fi novels I've read, huh? Ahaha. Seriously, I never going to wish for anything again. Anyway, um, if anyone could let me know what's going on here and how I get back home, that would be great. Thanks.

[ooc: Just as a side note, since Tim's father is in a coma and not dead in his memories, he currently thinks he's the ward of Bruce Wayne and not his adopted son.]

Ah, I thought you were referring to your reaction. [Doesn't say it out loud, but he's thinking Steph probably took on some of her father's bad and annoying criminal traits.]

Yeah, so my reaction wasn't that bad. I just dumped the contents of a water fountain over her.

Remind me not to do anything "that bad" to annoy you.

Yeah. All that gross fountain water might mess up your hair.

My cowl's already got that covered. [Although he realizes she's taking a shot at the fancy haircut he got when he returned to Gotham.]

Luckily Alv doesn't care too much about his hair.

[Well met, Timmy B)]

Good. No petty crime for you or Alvin.

Alvin's more interested in playing Warlocks and Warriors than he is in committing petty crimes. After today, I plan on spending the next week or so researching. [Aka being locked away in the library or the "Batroom".] I won't have time for much else.

There's certainly a lot to get through––

[Guess who just lost her powers and is plunking both of them down in the snow, quite accidentally?]

Augh! Cold, cold, cold...

[Attempts to stick the landing but unfortunately with Kara falling with him, he doesn't have any luck. Instead he ends up dropping into the snow with her.]

Oof! [Blinks his eyes a couple of times before looking at her.] Are you okay?

[She climbs up off of him, which takes a moment in the deep snow. Yuck, cold, but she offers him a hand to help him up, too.]

Yeah, just startled, it's more the cold than anything. Are you okay?

[Takes her hand and pulls himself up onto his feet.]

I'm fine. My suit can handle temperatures like this. As long as it doesn't drop below zero, I'll be okay.

[Whenever it gets that cold he needs his Arctic gear. Another thing he needs to work on once he gets settled in.]

Stay back a few feet so your powers can be restored. I'm going to take a quick look around.

[She gets right on that, trudging back a few feet towards the castle so that she doesn't freeze her spandex-clad butt off.]

You don't need to tell me twice.

What are you looking for, exactly?

[Reaches into his utility belt and pulls out his miniature binoculars. Holds them up and scans the area.]

Anything and everything. This is all unexplored territory for me.

I was just wondering if you had any hunches.

[She sits down in the snow. It's a touch cold anyway, but not enough to bother her. Still, she makes a mental note to herself that she should get a more winter-y looking uniform.]

Lots of people don't seem to want to even leave, so I doubt they bother looking or even thinking about it.

I have a couple.

[Finishes scanning the perimeter before putting his binoculars back into his belt.]

Stay here, I'll be back soon.

[Takes off into the snow.]

Sure. Knock yourself out.

[She's going to melt the snow down to the grass, so she can have a nice little dry space to stand on.]

[Tim is gone for a good forty-five minutes or so. He didn't mean to be gone for that long, unfortunately moving around in the snow without a Kryptonian to aid you takes a lot longer.]

Nice, you saved me some work.

[Uses one of his forensics tools to pluck a couple of blades of grass and a clump of dirt from the ground. Drops them into one of the empty plastic vials he has and closes them off.]

[She's standing there with hot chocolate when he gets back. What? She wanted some.]

No problem. I wonder if anyone's done that before.

[Kara just gets a look...then he looks at the hot chocolate longingly for a moment.]

Even if they have, we're going to be looking at it with a whole new set of eyes. [Grins at her.] In your case, a set of microscopic eyes. We can compare and contrast the ground, plant life, and water from outside the Dead Zone and inside of it. See if there are any physiological and biological differences between the two.

[She passes him the mug.]

Sounds like a good plan. Hopefully the melt so we can get living plant life, too.

Maybe we can catch some animals, too. I bet I could wrangle a buffalo.

...I bet you could "wrangle" the entire herd. [Hides his grin by nursing the hot chocolate.]

All I'd need from the animals is a blood sample and some fur, then they can be on their way.

[grin]

Let's go get them while we're out here, then, when you're finished my hot chocolate.

Done. [Knocks backs a few sips, finishing off the rest of the hot chocolate, and hands the cup over to her.]

Let's go.

[She takes the cup and sets it down on the fence to the Wanderer's Yard –– she'll be back for it later! –– and reaches to pick up Tim again.]

I've never wrestled a buffalo before. Aren't they an endangered species or something back in the USA?

[Gosh, Kara, what Steph think if she knew you kept "picking up" Tim.]

They are. [Taps his utility belt.] I have a sedative here that you could inject into one of them. That way we can go the more humane route and get what we need.
