Soiree Espionage
There was a week between the afternoon she worked her way into a recon partnership with Red Robin and the evening of the event and J'anna hadn't wasted a moment of it.  With the scant information she had been provided while Red Robin ate, she had done some of her own digging and her own research not just on the targets but also on the event they would be attending.  It had all lead to shopping.  One couldn't go to an event without a proper dress and there was the added complication: the fact that she kind of liked Red Robin so she wanted to not only look appropriate, but also pretty.  Not as though it would particularly matter, she had reasoned, but since she'd never gotten to go to prom (another consequence of Lian's endless pursuit of White Martians) she figured what the hell.

The preparation was all classic J'anna. She not only looked perfect but was done early and was properly waiting for Red Robin to show up, idly wondering if he'd be in cape and cowl.  That could be amusing.  There was one twist to her appearance, however.  Rather than being dressed in her typical June Cleaver meets J Crew modest fashion, the Martian was wearing a knockout of a blue gown that showed plenty of shoulder and was bare from her neck to the small of her back.

It was blue.  She liked it.

Seduce her? A slight bit of color rises to J'anna's cheeks even as she acts chill.

"It's just a genetic transfer thing. Something crossed weird between human and Martian DNA." She smiled a little. "And I asked because I don't actually know how to drive. I take mass transit or I fly. No one ever got around to teaching me to drive."

"Oh. Well, driving is a pretty valuable skill, J'anna. It helps you blend in, if you want. Though, I'd probably fly everywhere if I could. Mass transit isn't safe. Maybe we'll work on getting you a license or something. Not hard to do, and you seem like a quick learner." Tim says, telling his driver where to take them.

"So, when we get there, we need to look like we're dating. If we look like we only have eyes for each other, it might get people to let down their guard enough for you to get in their heads. I'm going to talk to people the old fashioned way, but maybe we can work out a signal of some kind if you find something useful." Tim says.

Look like a dating couple completely into each other. J'anna...could do this. It at least meant the dress wasn't a total waste and that was always a good thing. She was also a surprisingly good actress.

"We should probably touch each frequently. A lot of hand-holding, your arm around me. And, I apologize if this is too forward, but if I suss something out, perhaps I should kiss your cheek and ask you to get me another drink?"

"I think your plan is our best bet. A kiss on the cheek wouldn't alarm anyone, I don't think. We just need to find the Shadow Broker's operative and then find out where this guy is to bring him down." Tim says, thinking over the plan in his head.

"Thank you again for agreeing to help me with this, J'anna. I'm glad there are people I can still count on for things. I had a bad run-in with someone I used to work with recently and I'm still bothered by it." Tim says.

"I'm sorry for that, Tim, but I'm glad that I can help you. Maybe I can be useful again after tonight." She offered him a smile before smoothing over her hair and checking her earrings. It was only a few moments before they pulled up to the venue and when the car came to a stop, she looked at Tim.

"So, sweetheart. Are we ready?" She was already giving him a dazzling, adoring smile.

"Yes, dear. I'll try to keep my hands to myself tonight." Tim says, in character. When the door is opened for them, he'll lead her out of the vehicle, and then guide her toward the steps into the tall, two-story museum. His hand goes to the small of her back instantly.

He kisses her shoulder in plain view of any cameras watching and several people focus upon them. Tim recognizes reporters taking notes of the new "It" girl for Tim Drake. Marissa Wayne's sharing of his apartment will probably be forgotten by tomorrow morning.

Inside, Tim smiles and shakes a couple of hands, keeping J'anna next to him the the whole time. He gazes at her openly, as if no other woman in the room exists, though Tim is currently having difficulty remembering that he's just playing a part.

"...med student, actually. I am very interested in the mind, but the physiological effects of psychological trauma is of great interest to me." J'anna didn't fake a story about herself. The press had been very observant of things and J'anna knew full well that before they even left the party tonight, she'd be all over TMZ as Tim Drake's new girl and the gossip hounds would want to know all about her. Fifteen minutes of fame coming right up and as people asked about her in the small talk they often make, J'anna offered truths as she stayed by Tim's side. Each of his dedicated gazes is met with an adoring smile. Her body is often pressed to his and her eyes are bright with a soft adoration.

That's real, too, though she knows he is unaware that for her, he really is the only man in the room.

The circulation is easy, as is eliminating two of the marks for the night. Neither of them had anything errant going on in their minds. As they made it around the room, though, J'anna started picking up thoughts from the curator. Weapons? J'anna very gently pressed her lips to Tim's. It wasn't on the list of alerts, but she was confident he'd get that she had a hit on something. As she pulled back, her eyes stared directly into his.

"Have I told you how wonderful you look tonight? An absolute work of art."

He'd figure out who she'd picked up on. She knew he would.

Tim enjoys the kiss, kissing her back quite intently before he hears her words. The Curator.

All right. Now to put the screws to her. Tim looks around for the Curator and sees her leaving through a door toward the rear of the room.

"Do you want another drink, honey?" he asks, adding in a kiss for good measure.

When he kisses her, J'anna kisses him back deeply. It's not real, she chides herself, but she likes it just the same and she feels fluttery inside. Warm.

"I'd love one, honey." She smiled and pulled back. Show time.

"I'll be right back." he smiles, and heads toward the bar area. When he gets there, he'll order two glasses of wine from the bartender.

The bartender turns his back and Tim slips through the same backdoor he saw the Curator go through, finding himself in a hallway. He sees the woman slip around a corner at the end of the hall to the right and follows after her.

J'anna, I'm in pursuit. I think she's headed toward the rear of the building.

She's going towards the private parking. I'm coming around the opposite way. Tim...she's meeting up with someone. Be careful.

J'anna excused herself from the couple she was talking to under the guise of needing to use the ladies room. Instead, she ditched that and slipped down the hall. Easy to do when you could be invisible. A few feet from the door out, she heard footsteps.

Tim...we've got a problem.

Behind her, though they couldn't see her, were five heavily armed assassin-types.

Tim was very glad this woman had chosen the particular path she had. As he received J'anna's information, he checks for security cameras in this hallway. Finding none, Tim ducks into a janitorial closet along the way and locked it to prevent surprises.

He reached behind a stack of mops and buckets to retrieve his metallic briefcase, swiftly entering the code. Once it popped open, Tim Drake removes his suit and gets into some real clothing.

Red Robin emerges from the janitor's closet and moves in the direction the Curator went, quickly picking out her trail.

J'anna, stay invisible. I'm going to take a different way there, but don't let her leave.

Team of five, heavily armed, heading southwest. I'm right beside them.

J'anna kept going alongside the group but even as they walked, she started seeking the Curator's mind, giving her a subtle suggestion or two to slow her down: the heel of her shoe was wobbly, she parked on a different level, she forgot her keys. She just had to delay her a little bit...

Red Robin filed the information in his mind as he raced back the way he came. He cut down the hallway at full speed, knocking down other patrons as he headed toward the front door of the building.

Outside, he fired a line toward the parking garage, bracing himself as the grapnel yanked him from street level, across the busy street, and toward the structure itself.

He slipped into the shadows in a corner of the garage and waited for the Curator to arrive.

J'anna's delays made the timing almost perfect. The Curator arrived a few moments after Red Robin, striding into the clearing of the structure, keys in hand.

Meanwhile, while invisible, J'anna slipped into Martian form.

The squad is meaning to take out both the Curator and her contact, she told Tim. Which, of course, couldn't happen. She was going to take out the team herself.

When the Curator and her contact arrive, Red Robin steps from the shadows to surprise them.

"You're both coming with me." he tells them.

"Hey guys, nice guns."

The crew is surprised to hear a voice just as they reach the entrance to the garage and they stop, turning to look at the source...and come face to face with a monstrous green creature.

"...do I have something in my teeth?" J'anna shrugs, reaches out, grabs one of the guy's guns and dismantles it, tossing the pieces behind her.

The Curator's attention is momentarily distracted by the commotion behind her, but she turns her face back to Red Robin immediately.

"The Shadow Broker will not stand for this. He knows your secrets, Red Robin. There is no where you can hide from him." she says.

Her informant attempts to stab at Red Robin with a knife. One punch floors the man, and Red Robin advances on the woman.

"Who is he and where can I find him? Talk and maybe you don't spend the night in jail." Red Robin says.

J'anna almost gleefully tangos with the assassins. They truly weren't anticipating anything to get in their way. This intrigued her. They weren't the Shadow Broker's people, that much was apparent. One by one she knocked them down.

"Who do you work for?" J'anna growled, eyes glowing vibrantly red as she captured the last conscious man by his throat.

Tim...ask her how she'd like to deal with the Etesian Front.

This whole investigation just went deeper than she ever expected. Momchev looked like a saint compared to the Etesians....

"You will get nothing out of me, Red Robin." the Curator says defiantly. She then spits on Tim, which he finds annoying, but he's not going to hit this woman.

He simply Glares at her and asks a question.

"What do you think the Etesian Front will do to your family for aiding the Shadow Broker against them?" Red Robin asks.

The Curator's face pales and tears form in her eyes as she looks at Red Robin. When she speaks again, her voice is subdued, and she looks toward the ground.

"If I tell you anything, I'm dead either way. But my children...I only wanted them safe. I wanted them to come to America and have the life I did not have." the Curator says.

"Promise me you will save my children and I will give you anything you want on the Shadow Broker." the Curator says.

J'anna...is she on the level?

J'anna tied up the killers, glad once again that she remembered to carry her trusty zip-ties in her evening bag (they came in handy,) then went after them with some duct tape she'd procured from a utility cart.

Considering that one of these guys have pictures of her house and an elementary school in their ninjapack? Yeah, she's on the level. This is deep, Red Robin. The Shadow Broker is only a cog in the machine.

Tim doesn't like this. His mission called for shutting down the Shadow Broker. The Shadow Broker is handling intel for hundreds of criminal organizations; he can't afford to lose this shot at shutting down this organization for good.

But the woman needs help and he taught Marissa not to stand by when people needed help. He did that once, years ago, and people died.

Never again.

"You give me everything you have on the Shadow Broker. If I even think you're lying, I'll find something to pin on you and send you away for life.

You tell me where your kids are and I'll do everything I can to get them home safe." Red Robin says.

She made a little chain of duct tape and used that to secure the group of bad guys to a pipe.

Tell me what you need me to do, Red Robin. I've secured the Etesians.

J'anna could move fast and get to the kids if need be.

We'll get the information and make a plan. We may need back-up if these guys are as armed up as the five they sent just now are. We don't want to go in cold.

The woman hands over a flash-drive to Red Robin.

"That is everything I have on the Shadow Broker. Please, save my children. The Etesians are holding them in Warehouse 132 on Baker Street. They said they would send me their eyes if I didn't bring them the Shadow Broker's informant." the Curator says.

"Take him and get out of here." Red Robin says, accepting the flash drive. "If you've double crossed me, I'll find you.

Your children will be at the Precinct 13 as soon as I can free them. Speak with Detective Dante Falconeri; he'll make sure they get back to you." Tim says, turning to leap from the parking garage and into the night.

Meet me at Warehouse 132.

J'anna adds a bit more duct tape and a note for the cops on her bundle of baddies and then hurriedly leaves, going invisible again.

On my way.

She makes a wardrobe change on the way and arrives on the roof of the Warehouse. Or rather, hovering just above it so as not to make any noise to alert the Etesians.

Three kids, six heavies and they're getting impatient.
