but...
but... What am I suppose to do with all these crates of tar and piles of feathers now? So inconsiderate I tell you. Some people... *sigh* Great chapter as always. :)
Tar and Feathers
You could always save them for the next author who dares to write a cliffhanger :)
yeah, I could do that but...
yeah, I could do that but... oh my god! a bear! help! hel...
to be continued...
A Bear
Why don't you run...I hope that you have a gun :)
Tar an feathers ya anyways
I'm gonna tar an feather ya anyways even though ya said there'd be a cliffhanger. I can't get a refund an atm your closer than the ex bro-in-law so you get tared an feathered.
Ok now that the tar an featherin is outta the way,another great chapter but here something I noticed you say it's chap 18 the title says chapter 19. Just a heads up ya might wanna fix it before some overly anal person complains. Me I could care less if ya named it chapter 19 in the title but called it chapter alpha beta tango xD.
The Confusion
Part One is actually the prologue and Ch. 1 actually starts in Part 2. So each of the chapters that have followed have been one off. I'm going to try and fix things as soon as the story is completely published...which should be in a few more chapters :).
ya I know
ya i know an I can tell it's startin to wind down. I'm sure you will take a break for a few days after you finish this story up before you start the next 1 which HOPEFULLY will be about a certain archer "HINT HINT HINT" ;P.
Let's have a *real* comment!
(Besides which, I have no idea where you could buy a sufficiently small quantity of tar to cover a single person, let alone the cost of the feathers...)
So, it looks as though Babs has a third contact... unless Bruce has recovered sufficiently to don his suit again or Alfred's decided to get in on the action (who says elderly butlers can't have a secret identity and go crimefighting at night?!) :D
Perhaps she's got a warehouse containing a stealthy residential apartment on speed dial - after all, one of the residents would be able to punch out the lights, no matter how high they were; while another would have swum from 'home' to here...
There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't...
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
Third Contact
Is familiar to a lot of people but not one of my own :)
I think Bruce has healed
Was that Bruce who came at the end?
It could have been Onyx, but I think it was Bruce.
I have to agree with you on

Will Batgirl rescue Red Robin (Yuuuuuuummmmmmm!)? Who turned out the lights? Will Stephanie break a nail? Will Tim still be a dick?
"Tune in soon — same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!"
Thanks
Now I've got that song stuck in my head :)
I Am The Night Part-19
What about Green Arrow, or Black Canary?
May Your Light Forever Shine
May Your Light Forever Shine
Neither
Green Arrow is in San Francisco and Black Canary is not mine to use.
Chicago Heroes
Unless I'm mistaken, the currently listed Chicago heroes are:
Giganta
Aquagirl
Wonder Woman
Booster Gold
Could be one of them, or it could be a healed up Bruce, or Onyx wanting to get into the action with her protege.
Drakira
Drakira
Or....
Maybe it's Cat Woman?
The nature of Monkey is - Irrepressible!!!
The nature of Monkey is - Irrepressible!!!
Or sidekicks with *resources*
Like Lena.
Bats, maybe. Onyx seems likely as Steph is her student and she once was in *the game*. Bats, maybe but is he healed sufficiently? Alfred? How old is THIS Alfred and in what physical condition? Though the busting of the lamps could be good sharp shooting with some of Bruce's *toys*. Specter? Not up and running yet I believe or at least not the one fighting the chip/transformation people. This is early-ish in the meta history. Does Cat Woman exist yet?
Unlikely Oracle what with her physical limitations.
Booster Gold is perhaps overdue to ease up on the commercial endorsements and get back into heroing. And wasn't one of her friends, her lover I think, a fairly major super? Been a while since I read it.
So who does our evil writer have under their command to bring into this fight?
Wouldn't it be ironic if it was Commissioner Gordon with a secret ID?
Seriously weird that thought.

P.S. The best thing about cliff hangers is they are soooo deeply satisfying when ... well hung.

Timeline
At this point in the CRU Timeline most of the heroes are on the scene, this takes place almost a yeat after things started, Jade's not even on Earth anymore :)
I think Bruce/The Bat is
I think Bruce/The Bat is baaacckkkk. He's been searching for Tim.

Lovely
While what i was hoping to happen did not happen this was a great chapter none the less. I am also going to say that the last chapter was great too....(never had the chance to comment due to getting used to a new job) This however reminds me why i never listen to my over active imagination about thriller novels.
Thanks for the great Chapter En (if you prefer a different nickname over en please let me know. spelling out enemyoffun can be confusing with the e's and f's.)
Looking forward to the next
Nickname
En is more than fine :)
Nicknames II
I've always liked the irony of EOF, as it rarely (if ever) occurs at the End-of-file.

"Now the real fun starts."
Got that right. Tim is out, but who got the lights? Bruce? I think so.

The Fun
The next chapter should have some nice fights :)
knocked out guards
unless your going to kill them, knocking out a guard an just leaving them is never a good ideal. getting rid of the gun was smarter than most, it would only take her seconds to zip tie ankles and wrists. who wants a guard that was not out for as long as anticipated coming up behind them.
as for the rest, looks really good. the only question is who's coming to help, bruce or onyx?
great chapter, thanks
The Guards
I completely forgot about zip tying. Let's just say in the moment she forgot about it too to cover my stupid error :)
Stupid errors happen.
They aren't always dangerous, but the fun ones in fiction tend to be that way for someone.
I'll not speculate on the helper who just showed up for a number of reasons. At first I thought Batman was back, too, but now I'm not so sure of that...
Oh well, we'll all find out in the next chapter, I think.
Tar? Feathers? Sounds familiar...
Maggie
zip ties
if she gets black ones Barb/Jen can call them batcuffs.
Fighting blind
Zip ties where the first thing that I thought of when she left the goons just lying there. The guns are another thing but there are many quick ways to screw up a gun if you want to remove it from use. I knew that the night goggles could be a problem, and she may remember this in the future. But, things are not that bad now, as she has been trained to fight in the dark and it is a bet the thugs have not.
This chapter got me wondering
About the standard night vision goggles fatal flaw. That they blind to the point of pain if used in brightly lit environment.
I mean, depending on the technology used (don't know the first thing about those admittedly) this standard fatal flaw is easily circumvented by ensuring the top brightness output of the screen is always insignificant enough.

Beta software?
I guess the goggles are a cutting-edge, super-sophisticated prototype whose controlling software unfortunately is not quite mature ;-)
Software?
I didn't say anything about software. The screen is to be hardwired about top brightness.

More is coming...I'm just trying to find time to write it :)
In over her head! It's a
In over her head!
It's a little satisfying to see RR taken down. A little humility never hurt anyone... until now. And it looks as if Stepf is about to experience that as well... unless! Eeep!
Great chapter as always EoF!

Write the story that you most desperately want to read.
Red Robin
I knew I needed to knock him down a peg...just to prove that his hotheadedness was going to lead to trouble.
Ya know... Steph's gonna have to be renamed...
I'm thinking that her covername should be Pauline... and she should be known as BearGirl...
Because she keeps getting herself in peril (of Pauline) by stepping into massive (bear) traps!

I hope who ever he/she/they are, they're ready for a fight. If it's Giganta (as one person suggested) she might not have too much trouble even against an army of goons, but the rest of the list... well, twenty plus guys isn't an easy fight. Especially if the big guy with the mask who rolled Tim into the room is Bane. He's a threat to anybody.
In any case, next chapter's looking to be action packed.
The Fight
I'm prepping myself to write it...hopefully I'll get to it tomorrow...its been busy lately. I do promise that it should be up to par with my other fights in this story. :)
Help?
What about this guy called Cliff Hanger, I hear he is pretty hot?
I like a good fight when the odds are even 2/50, that includes who ever shot out the lights!
Great chapter EOF.
LoL

Another all nighter reading your masterful writing. I shall wreak my rewenge!
