Metropolis is the biggest, highest populated, most important functioning city in the world. It also, right now, isn't much of a fucntioning sity - the police are pushed to their limits, the population is higher than it can really support and its economy is crazy thanks to a distinct lack of anywhere to trade with. Crime is higher than it used to be in Gotham.
Which provides a lot for a young crime fighter to do. And Sparrow is after a drug ring specialising in Ruhipnol and other, related sedatives.
So she's not Sparrow right now. Her shades are off, her outfit is stashed, and the only equipment she's carrying is that which she could cover in the pockets of her big yellow coat.
She's undercover on the streets of Metropolis.

Seriously, ew.
"Yeah, that's probably 'cause you have issues getting the hell over it," she says. She doesn't make it sound like a good thing.

Forgive him if he sounds cold as well. He doesn't approve of people not approving.
"It has nothing to do with getting over it."
(And the contact with the living is helping him to focus, and the better he focuses the more possible it is to see a tall, dark smudge on the air where he stands.
Just faintly. Just a suggestion. Half the time, if you squint from the wrong angle, not even there. But it's more than there was.)

The tone, because as a rule he is very good at choosing and controlling these things, does not sound desperate.

"There's maggots living in you."

"Not in me." After all, that body isn't his any more. He's standing right here above it. And sure, a body is useful...
...Jubes, you should be worried about the speculative way he trailed that sentence off.

"'Cause haunting the wrong body is really creepy."

"Are you deliberately misunderstanding me?"
Never mind. Maybe he can give her a practical example of precisely what he means.
IE: the fact that that's no longer his body lying down there full of pests and parasites.
No, his body, if he has any say in it, is standing right there in a long yellow coat making unhelpful remarks.

I mention this because she has another ability inherited from her world: the ability to swear in punctuation.
"%&*$!!!!"
Like that.
And then there is nothing. Just blind panic in an alley where a body that isn't hers lies moldering in the trash.
