She was more than a little surprised to see him, honestly. From what she'd heard (and heard from) the Bat who haunted Gotham's streets, he stayed in his territory and he expected others to do the same. Which, of course, was why she hadn't ever doned the cape while over in the other city even if she was there often enough for her other job.

Being fresh on the beat meant you got more of the lackluster travel assignments and as far as most people thought, going to Gotham was neither fun, exotic, nor interesting enough to really have anyone fighting for trips there.

Tonight, however, they were in Metropolis; the Bat was in her city. Which meant that she had no qualms about floating up from between the buildings behind him and clearing her throat.

He had good reason to be where he was - and he wanted to investigate her a bit closer, he had to admit. It wasn't why he'd come, but he'd take the opportunity and excuse and make the most of it.

He'd also whirl around at the throat clearing behind him and narrowly avoid throwing a punch. He was interested in her, but stalking Joker was also inclined to put him a bit on edge.

"What?"

[shahrrehth]

She can't help crossing her arms. She understands the near-punch reaction, after all. But for goodness sake. She's the one who'd been raised in a barn, so to speak. Or at least near one. Just going by his accent and his mannerisms, she was reasonably certain he'd done no such thing.

"Evening," and she floated forward to actually land on the rooftop beside him, "So... what happened to 'you watch over your city and I'll watch over mine?' Or is that just when it comes to Gotham?"

"If your enemies come to Gotham you're welcome to chase them across the river," he says, somewhat dismissively. No, he didn't really mean that, but she'd do it anyway, so what the hell difference did it make?

[shahrrehth]

"And which enemies of yours have made their way here?"

She floats up and over until she can settle on the brickwork, actually stand beside him. She doesn't like to float at people. It tends to make them feel intimidated and that's not what she's going for here.

"This is still my city, after all. I might be able to help."
