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.

"Cuts them up and scares the crap out of them," Sparrow returns, confident that he'd never understand.

"Cuts them up. Real bad?" sounds like a character. "He never puts any out of their misery? Never insures they won't be back to kill again?"

She glowers at him.

"He doesn't kill, if that's what you mean."

Doesn't kill any more.

"You need to some times." Tim touches his holster. "Everyone focuses on the gun, but it's only another tool. In another lifetime, this gun was used to make a hero, by taking away his parents. Now, it serves me to keep that mistake from ever happening to any other child."

She curls her lip slightly, not buying it for a minute.

"You're just another criminal."

"No, we got rid of the criminals." Brainwashed an entire coast. "I'm a vigilante."

Still convinced this is Bruce Wayne, Sparrow's not at all sure how this guy could have trained Dick.

She does know she hates him.

"You're a murderer. You're just one of them."

Tim turns away, his grappler sliding into his hand. "I keep seeming to have this conversation. Believe me, if you lived through what I have-" and had your mind controlled by Miss Martian, your emotions controlled by Raven, and your actions controlled by Lex Luthor- "You'd understand. Some villains refuse to reform."

"Like you," Sparrow utters,before she turns in the opposite directions.

She'll bewatching out for him now; he's a recognised villain in Metropolis.

And Tim is gone, as Batman soars into the night. He'll be keeping a watch out for her, just in case.
