There's a reason vigilantes don't use elevators and...okay well this isn't it.
Robin had gone down to Star City to look into the weapons dealing business that was connected to the trade in Gotham. A few nights should be enough to pick up what information he needed. In fact, he was in the middle of swinging through town after rattling one of the smaller fish when an alert tells him the alarm's been set off at a building not far from where he was.

Well, crimefighting called. So Robin swings that way and enters through a window before blending into the shadows again.

	Hearing that a building alarmed had been sounded over the police scanner Sam made his way over to the building. Shooting an line over the the build to made his way inside to check things out. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"You know the alarm was for?" Asks the shadows. A moment later Robin steps forward into the light and nods at Sam. "Looks like this is the reverse of when we first met." That time it'd been Sam in Gotham, situations were reversed now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No," Sam says a little bit surprised by Robin's sudden appearance. "You know if you keep doing that one of these days I'm going to end up shooting an arrow at you." "Yeah it definitely seems that way," he says, "Want to see if we can find whatever is causing the alarm?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't think you'd hit," he smirks back. "Sure, we'll start at this floor and work our way through." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well let's pray you don't have to find out," Sam says with a smirk back. "Sure. Shouldn't take to long to find trouble if it's here that way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll prove it to you another time," Thomas smirks. "Then let's." With that they go off to begin their search through various floors. Thomas taps into the security system as they move and tries to look for where the alarm started. Good. It wasn't far. "One floor up, should be something that started on the east end," he tells Sam as he dashes up the stairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you say so," Sam says not too sure about shooting an arrow at a friend. "Damn you guys get all the really cool gadgets," Sam says as they walked and Robin messed with the security system. "Got it," Sam says following him up the stairs as he notched an arrow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thomas would see it as an opportunity to practice arrow catching. Because it was fun to see people's faces when it worked. "Of course, I don't know why you guys haven't done that," he chuckles. They dash up the stairs and make their way to find a suspicious package placed against a wall some distance away from the elevator. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	angryarcher 2012-10-05 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	Sam would find that entertaining even he did not like the thought of shooting at a friend. "As you can see," Sam says gesturing to his bow, "We are kind of low tech here." "Well that's not suspicious at all," Sam says about the package as they close in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-10-05 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Sell it as a 'classic' or 'traditional' way of doing things if anyone asks," he smirked. Robin just sighs at the package. "Careful, I'm not sure when it'll-" Oh shit. Timer. "Down!" He shouts and dives at Sam to push him down and they slide towards the elevator. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	angryarcher 2012-10-06 12:05 am UTC (link)
	"Definitely one way to put it," Sam says smirking. "Shit," Sam says once he hears the timer. He starts diving as fast as he can away from it with Robin as they start sliding towards the elevator. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The force of the explosion pushes them into the elevator who's doors had been help open by a large box for some reason. But now wasn't the time to ask why. "You okay?" Thomas coughs once amid the smoke and keeps his head down in case the culprit arrives. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	angryarcher 2012-10-06 02:58 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. I'm fine. You," Sam asks after a few coughs as the smoke clears. This all was really weird and something definitely was not sitting right with him. Though it could just be that he was nearly blown up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-10-06 05:31 am UTC (link)
	"Fine," he responds, but paying more attention to looking through the smoke for any dangers or the culprit if they were stupid enough to come to the scene. He's already got a batarang ready. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	angryarcher 2012-10-06 12:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Good," Sam says notching an arrow getting ready for a possible fight that he was sure was coming soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And the box which had held the doors open has disappeared when the smoke clears and before the heroes can leave, the elevator doors shut.

A voice comes from a rather homemade speaker duct taped to a corner of the ceiling. "Mwuahahaha-*cough*-haha-*cough*-ha-Damn smoke ruining evil entrances...HA!"

"As you can see young heroes, you've fallen into my trap. For as long as you are in the elevator you are at the mercy of...The Evil Elevator Man!"

He pauses for dramatic effect and any heroic gasps. Go ahead, he'll wait for them.

...

No? Fine.

"*cough* Ahem, sorry the smoke really-wait why am I explaining myself to you? As I was saying: You are now at my mercy! Too long have you heroes laughed at me and underestimated my powers! Now is judgement day! You will feel the might of The Evil Elevator Man!"

And the elevator goes up one floor then down.

Fear him.

	Thomas just looks incredibly unimpressed. This was on the level of Kiteman or Condiment King. No dramatic pause, you are not getting a gasp from him. "Really? That's it?" He asks Sam. Wow this was going to be stupid. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	angryarcher 2012-10-06 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	Sam had no words for this. All he wanted to do was laugh but somehow that seemed like a bad idea to do to someone wo could Tower of Terror to death. But at the same time he still really wanted to burst out laughing. "This guy can not be serious can he," Sam says to Robin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hey hey! I can hear you! The Great Evil Elevator Man has ears!" The speakers crackle slightly and there's muttered swearing about this is what happens when one gets economical on their evil plans.

This time the elevator goes up, and continues rising, at a leisurely pace, towards the top floor. Some cheerful elevator music plays.

"Damn, thought I turned that off..," comes a mutter from the badly duct taped speaker.

	Thomas just sighs. This could not be more stupid. "This is a waste of time. Let's find a way out of here," he tells Sam. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	angryarcher 2012-10-06 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh definitely," Sam says sounding rather annoyed. He was already checking out the elevator for ways out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_misc 2012-10-06 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	At that moment the elevator music finally stops cheerfully chirping from the built in speakers. And suddenly the elevator halts. Without warning it jerks up and down very quickly, intent on making its occupants lose their footing and fall over. "Ah ha!" Comes a triumphant yell as the elevator violently shakes. "I've got you now!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The sudden change in the elevator's movement nearly has Robin fall over, but he manages to regain his footing, holding onto one of the handrails as the whole thing violently shakes and starts moving unpredictably.

"Screw this," he growls. "There's an emergency hatch at the top of most elevators. Though it's only open-able from the outside. We're going to have to find a way to reach it and force it open."

If they can keep their balance.

	The elevator movements had Sam unsteady as well keeping him close to the ground. "I can blow the hatch with one quick arrow," Sam says pretty sure he has an arrow that can do just that. He knew he could make that shot even with the movements. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
