The setting: that mecca of meeting-places, that all-around headquarters of heroes, villains, poets, and everything in-between: STARBUCKS. Yes, one of the many Starbucks in New York City was the meeting place for the two rookie heroes in our tale today. Oracle, also known as Barbara Gordon, had begun putting together a new Birds of Prey team, using a combination of veteran and young heroes. One of whom, a young woman named Dawn Harrington, had just 'graduated' recently to full-on team status. But now, on Oracle's orders, she was taking the afternoon to meet with and get to know her newest teammate, who was still in training. So, the young goth girl sat there, heavily-made-up eyes looking to and fro, her black and red miniskirt and tank top looking a bit out of place among the throng of preppies getting their morning coffee...
Starbucks hua? Well, it wasn't top-secret head quarters, or maybe it was, and was just disguised as head quarters? Or maybe Amber McKie, the above mentioned hero-in-training was just over analyzing the situation. Hey, it says "in-training" doesn't it? That means she's allowed to over think her new role as City Hero.

After some wining and dining, Ollie had asked her to wait for him to return, but the woman just could not sit still. Her return from Japan had not been easy. Her 'rebirth' into the Chaste had left her with alot of ghosts to deal with. Still dead to most of the world, E was trying hard to re-adapt, but sometimes her mind raced too much. It was at times like these, that she either threw herself into strenuous workout activities, kata and training, or taking inventory and sharpening weapons. For Ollie, she decided to sharpen and level his bows and arrows.
It had been a long time since Dinah Lance had come to visit her JLA teammate at home... but with everything going on right now, with 14 occurences in the last 4 days that were identical to the recent one in Times Square, she figured that now was the best time to bury all the old hatchets. Dressed in plain light bluejeans, a snug red hoodie, and black boots, she decided to use her old key... just waltz on in and surprise him. La la la... she walked on in, and her eyes went wide as she saw Elektra there, caring for Ollie's weapons. "What the hell?!?"
