"I remember. However, and no offense to you Draven, but there are secrets that must be kept now, and just because Wicz trusts you, it doesn't mean that I and I try not to speak for Carrie, but in this case, we trust you. I hope you can understand that. I mean, I barely know you so please forgive me if I'm hesitant." Chris said as he looked back at Draven and Wicz. "It's alright. It's very new to me too." Draven inhales deeply, carefully, and smiles that approval smile, tilting his head lightly. At least first impressions goes out smoothly. "The keeping secret thing is never easy for you guys since you're superheroes." "Eh, it happens." Wicz tilts his head with a shrug. "I know you all don't like it, though there comes a time when it's necessary. Regardless what the universe decides." "Necessary being the oppertunistic word. Anyways, Draven, It's nice to put a face to a name. You all caught me as I was studying and training." Chris says as he smiles.

"Father, you can't be serious!" Talia's eyes grew wide in shock with her father's unorthodox plan of retrieving the white gem.
"I am, dear daughter." The tone of Ra's remained steady as he was very serious about this plan. "We will lure the Rangers out and while they are contending with our distraction, we will send the new recruit to the Batcave in order to obtain the gem. From what you've told me, he's the perfect candidate as his lack of refinement with our ways may prove useful. And if he fails, then he'll die. So we either gain a powerful weapon or lose dead weight. Either way, the league prospers."
Talia wasn't a fan of entrusting such a task to a rookie but at the end of the day, she wasn't going to question her father on this, especially when failing this mission may not be the worst thing in the world.

"Necessary being the opportunistic word. Anyways, Draven, It's nice to put a face to a name. You all caught me as I was studying and training." Chris says as he smiles.
"Good thing this keeps your mind away." Draven says, feeling at ease with Wicz's friends now. "I would've done schoolwork or playing Super Smash to pass the time."
"So Carrie, how are you doing today?" Wicz asks his Yellow teammate since he notice her silence.

"Well, as a preface, everyone's saying on the last fight that it was my trash talk and smart mouth that got us by..I won't let that happen again. Not gonna be just a mouthpiece." Chris says as he backed up a few feet and got back into his shadowboxing routine.

"So Carrie, how are you doing today?" Wicz asks his Yellow teammate since he notice her silence.
Wicz speaking to Carrie brought her out of her self imposed daze, looking up at Wicz with a warm smile. "Sorry. I was just drifting a bit but I'm doing okay." The reason for her drifting is that she received a letter from her father, which was an unusual form of communication in today's day and age. She had yet to read it and her delay caused her mind to speculate as to what the contents of the letter may contain.
Hours passed and it was now late afternoon. Carrie looked down at her phone, noticing the time which caused her to jump up. "Guys, we may need to start heading back. We don't want to be late for patrol!"

"Okay." Wicz nods to Carrie before glancing at Draven, who is already packing up. "I'll see you soon." He tells his friend as he goes to Wayne Manor with his teammates.
"Good luck you guys!" Draven waves them as he begins running back to his own place.

In short order, the trio returned to the Batcave just in the nick of time, thus avoiding a scolding from Bruce for being late for patrol prep. Alfred was found keeping things tidy and in order in Bruce's base of operations. When he saw the trio arrive, he pulled a note out of his jacket pocket.
"Greetings!" Alfred acknowledged the group's arrival before walking up to Carrie, handing her a letter. "Master Carrie, this letter came in the mail for you."

"Thank you Alfred," Carrie said without much enthusiasm.She knew it had to be from her father but couldn't figure out how he knew she was here.

"Everything alright?" Bruce walked up to Carrie as she received her letter. Even before she could open it, her expression changed, which could either be a very good thing or a very bad thing. Bruce himself wondered how the letter made its way to Wayne Manor. He had a theory but allowed things to play out to see where they led.

Carrie stared at the return address on the envelope as she debated about opening it. It took her a moment to realize that Bruce had spoken to her. "I'm not sure," she said. "It's a letter from my father. I haven't seen or spoken to him in months."

"You should see what he wants. Otherwise, this is going to linger on your mind and you won't be fully focused." Bruce understood that the relationship between Carrier and her father may be strained and while he only addressed the here and now, deep down he didn't want her to endure a situation where she is carrying around regret, depending on what that letter says.

"Hold up. Months? How would he know you'd be here?" Chris said as he began to limber up before patrol. When Carrie's expression hand changed, and with Bruce suggesting that Carrie see into her Father's sudden appearance, something told Chris that patrol wasn't gonna be for Gotham tonight.

Carrie looked back down at the envelope again as she thought about what Bruce said. She looked up when Chris spoke. "I'm not sure. Maybe his letter will tell me." She opened it up and took out a sheet of paper. "Well he's a man of few words as usual. He wants me to meet him at his office tomorrow afternoon."

Wicz grows concern for Carrie after she receives her father's letter. He doesn't understand why her dad sends his letter here instead of her place since it's easier and safer. But after she explains briefly, he rubs his chin in thought. "Sounds like this is important because you're going to meet him after so long."
