True to Dante's word, the troll had indeed not made it very far. Bounding over a stack of logs barring the immediate way, the redcoat caught sight of the little gray man sitting on a stump. A cursory glance revealed he was trying to use the rain to wash all the bits of leaf and twig from his wild black hair, to largely no avail. Gamzee perked up as his company approached, whirling his head around to meet them and reaching clumsily for his walking stick.
"Hey, yo, fancy meeting you guys out here," the alien clown waved his allies down like long-lost friends. "I was just about to make my way back over there, y'know? Told ya I wouldn't be out long, just wanted to look around a little."
Batman looked to the west, spying the sun beginning to sink past the threshold of the horizon. However long the troll thought he had been out, Omniphysics seemed to amplify that dramatically. "We're moving now," he justified, "Before it gets dark."
"I thought dark was your element, Bats," Dante cut in, with the vigilante leering at the familiar nickname. "You know, what with that black cape of yours?"
Gamzee's eyes widened, looking as if he had just made the discovery of the century. "Ohhhh, shit," the clown cussed, pointing a finger at Batman, "That's why you got the whole bat theme going on. That's freakin' genius, dude."
The black-cowl hero was rarely ever particularly amused in the first place, but right now he looked very particularly the opposite of amused. "Let's just go. The city is up ahead," Batman explained, stepping forward to resume the march. He didn't even check to ensure the others were following- he would just know it, what with their inane banter.
"Good thing, right? If you're a super-hero and all, then the city's your element, too," the devil hunter quipped predictably.
"Dude-" the troll replied, in even more shock, "You're blowing my mind into pieces here. Motherfucking double whammy-"
Batman breathed harder, clenching his fists. These two were the closest thing he had to allies right now, and he despised every walking moment of it.
