Barbara Gordon leans back in her chair rubbing at the bridge of her nose. She turns to Dinah, "I'm worried about Cassandra. I'm not sure this is the best thing she could choose to do. I mean--" she cuts off at rush of sound and light.

All of the computer monitors in the cabin have small blinking indicators "CONNECTION LOST". "Zinda?" her voice is calm, "What just hit us?"

"There are some," Barbara says without any evidence. "People are survivors. They can't all be gone."

Another pair of arms joins the hug from behind, and Zinda sniffles.

"Guuuuys."

She doesn't have much else to say.

Dinah shuffles around expertly, to include the pilot in the hug.

"Hey, you."

It turns out that hugging a person who's behind you is awkward, and hugging two people behind you is very awkward, so Barbara lets her arms drop. "Did you find any fuel, Zinda?" Her business tone was back.

"Yeah. Dinky little airport they got here, but they got all the necessaries. We can make a base outta it, see if we can find anyone -- livin'."

Zinda sniffs again, arms still around both of them.

"It's awful out there."

"We'll find them," Dinah says, breaking apart to lean again on a piece of equipment.

"Or Babs will. I'm just going to keep hoping we don't run into Gandalf."

Barbara snorts, "I don't know. I bet he'd be pretty useful."

"I'd rather have the elf," Dinah returns. "Or- what's his name, the guy played by Sean Bean."

"I'm beginning to suspect," Barbara laughs, "That you didn't really pay attention to the movies." Dinah gets a teasing serious look, "You were just there for the eye candy, weren't you?"

Dinah throws her hands up.

"There's another point to those movies?"

"If there is, I never seen it." Zinda disappears into the cabin, scrubbing her face. "Are there more out there, Dinah?"

Dinah looks to Barbara.

"I didn't see any. What does the computer say?"

"Thermals are clear..." Barbara shakes her head, "I think it might be a good idea to move. Find somewhere we're more familiar with. I'll need a couple of hours to get a look at what things look like on the ground in Gotham and Metropolis, can we get fuel and supplies loaded up by then?"

Dinah sighs and runs a hand across her face again.

"Yeah. How about Zinda and I get all the fuel we can carry on board now?"

"Do it," Barbara's voice is distracted. "I'm going to see if I can get some eyes on the ground out near Metropolis. I've got a couple of emergency caches stashed in the area."
