Hell no.

I have a city to take care of. I have classes to teach. I have...people relying on me.

That's still a strange feeling. But I like it, and I don't want to give it up just so you can toss me somewhere else.

You really don't want to fight me on this.

Why?

I'm Batman.

You need to work on your Bat-growl. It's an integral part of the Batman image.

[she is teasing]

[nomansbat]

[she flashes a smirk, before going low and hoarse] This is my city. I am the night.

[controlledvariable]

[Steph gives a hearty round of applause]

Very nice. The next step is being a condescending douchebag, but I think it'd be better for everyone if you don't try to do that.

[chaoticshambles]

...man?

[nomansbat]

Yes.

You have a problem with that?

[chaoticshambles]

...I...

I...Don't know.

[itsnotmybirthday]

That's what I was telling my mun, without the classes to teach. Arguing with them doesn't work. You're better off looking for a way to really fight them off.

[Sure, by "take care of" she meant "completely destroy" because fuck Silent Hill, and by "people" she meant one person, but the point still stood.]

Wait...Batman?

[nomansbat]

[her lips curve in a fierce smile as she hefts her crossbow] Well, fortunately I've got experience there.

And yes. Batman.

[itsnotmybirthday]

[Heather could really appreciate and respect that kind of attitude, and she smirked in return. Similar concept, but nowhere near as fierce as that smile.]

Hey, a crossbow is about the only thing I don't have. Maybe it will work. I don't know what it could do that a submachine gun can't, but you probably have more experience than me.

[No, it didn't look like she had much on her aside from the steel pipe she held in her hands, but such is the nature of videogame hammerspace.]

Alright...Batman. I'm Heather.

[It felt weird to say, but it was far from the weirdest thing she'd heard lately. She could deal with someone saying they're Batman. As long as she didn't start rambling about Paradise, or God, or hey here's a moonstone in a walnut or anything like that, it was all cool.]

[bratbeyond]

....

Am I the only one around here who doesn't want to be Batman?

[nomansbat]

I wasn't exactly lining up for the job, but someone decided to take off when Gotham needed one. [with a slight shrug] So.

Most Robins I know aren't interested in filling the cowl.

[bratbeyond]

The old man, right? Tch. That doesn't sound like him... but I guess if he was that desperate...

All the ones I do are. It's like, "a rite of passage."

[batmanschmatman]

... What?

[nomansbat]

You're cute when you're confused.

[batmanschmatman]

That's not really an answer, Helena.

[bodyreads]

...You're who?

[nomansbat]

...Cass?

[preyed]

[Woah.]

A bit more than your usual spooky-gloom, Helena. What's going on?

OH MY GOSH DINAH <3

[nomansbat]

The same thing that's been going for about two years, Dinah. Oracle did fill you in, right?

[preyed]

Not... Not about this. What's going on?

From an AU where he was a founding Titan. And Dick Grayson's best friend

[arach_nerd]

I'm pretty sure you lack the required parts to go around calling yourself that Helena. Unless there's something you wanna share with the class.

[nomansbat]

Why is everyone so interested in my parts?

...How the hell do you know my name?

[arach_nerd]

I KNOW ALL AND SEE ALL.

Either that or I'm from an AU where I hang out with Nightwing on a regular basis. Take your pick.

And you're the one calling yourself Batman despite obviously not being the second part of that word. Questions will inevitably arise.

appropriate icon is appropriate

[apotropaic]

Jesus Christ, what the hell is everyone's problem with someone calling themselves Batman? OH NO, TITTIES. LET US GET ALL UP IN YOUR BUSINESS AND POLICE YOUR IDENTITY.

The fuck.

[nomansbat]

Now you I like.

I expected it, but it's still pretty damn annoying.
