Characters: Dinah Lance and OPEN
Date: July, all after Clueventure
Location: Wood Sector, and wherever you need her.
Situation: There are ideas and commitments that Dinah started before being distracted by detective work. Now she intends to follow up on them.
Warnings/Rating: Blood, wounds in the Arthur thread.
I started with prose, but will switch to action if you'd like.

General Starter: She found it in the wood sector, a courtyard formed by four trees growing from each corner, growing and intertwining together above, walled by hedges that have been growing out since the last master left. As soon as she had a spare morning and the presence of mind to do so, it is here Dinah returns.

She keeps the name and cleans first the sign painted so neatly in Chinese: “The Jade School of Kung Fu, overseen by Grand Master Shifu.” She doesn't know what happened to the Grand Master, but a dojo cannot be left unused, and she plans to honor this Master she never met by returning his space to the use it was intended.

She sent messages to the people she knew were interested in training with her, to let them know where they could be found, then she set about trimming the hedges, sweeping the building and the courtyard, and transforming it into a usable dojo again.

Letting the rant go, because she thinks it was needed, if not totally deserved, she leans forward and pushes the bag through the bars of his cell.

"It's been thoroughly inspected to make sure I'm not giving you anything forbidden," she says lightly, and lets him look in himself.

When he does so, he'll find their homemade chess set and the board they carved out together.

"Figured Red Robin or Kid Flash could give you a work out. Let them win a couple of times, okay?"

Kon looks at it and takes the other end as it's fed through. He isn't sure about what it could be but hearing that it was given the go ahead by the jailers...well it was upsetting. Upsetting because it wasn't a way to bust them out of jail. But he opens it anyway and then he's hit hard by what he sees. He reaches in and takes out one of the kings Dinah had made that day and he smiles as he runs a thumb along the carved shapes. The anger he felt from before leaves him almost straight away. He looks up at her, still smiling and nods his head.

"Thanks. This...It means a lot. Really."

And then he nods and his smile turns a little wicked.

"False sense of security, huh?"

[raptorcanaria]

She returns his wicked smile with one of her own - and she's capable of some fairly wicked smiles, as it happens.

"And you know how fragile Bategos are. It's important they think they're the cleverest."

"And just when they think they've got it, BAM totally thrashed, S.B style!"

[raptorcanaria]

"That's the idea."
