Contrary to Popular Belief, Not Everyone Digs Giant Robots
Okay, so the city was dirty, noisy, filled with poorly lit blocks, and had a populace that sometimes seemed as ready to hit you with their car as look at you.. but Richie was getting used to Gotham. At least there was always plenty of work to be done. The trick was in finding gigs that payed per job, instead of by the hour. Yeah, that was a mistake he'd already learned not to make with temp agencies. Another week, and he might actually be able to start looking for a room!

Maybe. He still wasn't sure if he felt safe settling anywhere just yet. The people who came after his parents might still be looking for him.

But today, there's the trainyard. Cleanup duty was simple enough. Make sure you hit the markers so people know what track you're on, make sure there's no debris, and walk the fences to make sure there's no holes for people to get in.

Of course, that had been before an arriving unmarked engine had transformed into a robot and started busting up the joint, but we can't always have what we want from a given day.

Gotham is by far not her favourite city to live in. Upon joining Suicide Squad she had no other choice. Little jobs were allowed for each of the team members, she decided to work at a pet shop for amusement.

Today she had off, thus she decided to go out to have a little fun. Devony got too curious for her own good at times.

From time to time she liked going to the train yard to look for anything she could use, mainly scrap pieces for her gadgets. Humming happily, she picked up a piece that looked best suited for her next gadget, until she noticed and heard something loud. She decided to go nosy to go see what it was.

The engine had turned into a large, blocky-limbed robot with massive pistons on each arm. It drove one arm into the ground, uprooting several yards of track, before picking up a shipping container with the other hand. It seemed to be inspecting its contents.

"Hey, tin man!" Richie, back in his 'Outback' disguise, called out from on top of another train. "Time for you to go back to Oz!" He flips a rail spike around in one hand, and then flings it like an oversized dart at what he thinks is a camera mounted on its face.

Devony jumped when she heard someone yelling out to the rather large like robot. Tilting her head to the side, looking between the guy and robot.

"Oz?....Mister! Mister! But we're in Gotham, not in Oz." Devony yells out at him. Devony pauses when the guy attacks the robot, all she good do is watch the action before laughing.

The spike meets the camera's lens, and is traveling fast enough to come out the other side of the head, but auxiliary ports open on each of the robot's shoulders. It continues inspecting shipping containers, before pitching two of them aside, apparently not finding what it was looking for. One goes hurtling in Devony's direction.

"Look out!" Richie starts running towards the girl, as he sees the container go flying, hoping to snatch her out of the way in time.
