oracle_knowsOracle looked at her display and fumed. Normally a car escaping from robbing a gas station was beneath her notice. But this bunch of thugs had driven straight into a school, burst into a top-floor classroom, shot the teacher in the gut, and were holding a group of terrified 8 year olds hostage. And were threatening to shoot them if their demands weren't met. They also were just restating their demands and not negotiating.
Oracle glanced briefly at her roster. No speedsters available, and no nearby active superheroes. And the JLA transporters weren't active. While Misfit could take down the four thugs, Oracle's calculations showed the risk of kids getting shot in the crossfire to be unacceptably high unless she had backup.
Something looked familiar about the coordinates and she zoomed out before smiling fleetingly in recognition. Andrews Prep was, of course, the feeder school for the Elias Academy and was only a couple of miles away. That gave her another option - someone she'd been considering trying to recruit anyway. But she both needed her now and thought that this was a good chance.
Checking the timetable, Oracle realised Cassie would be between classes, and phoned her.
