would you trust this guy with your baby.

Look, it's not that I don't like Helena. But she's a mom. That's always kind of weird for me. Nothing wrong with moms. It's just that — well, I won't use the usual excuses, that we don't have similar priorities or a lot to talk about, because that's a lie. We do have both of those. But the fact is, Benny makes me feel weird. It's not personal dislike, he's a little kid, I don't expect anything from him. And it's not important until the inevitable plot where Helena is busy/kidnapped/whatever and I have to look after him for some indeterminate amount of time, cause don't even lie, I know your shit, you're going there sooner or later. And I'm not gonna flip out about it and you know I'm not and you're not going to do that really hilarious comedy trope where I'm so helpless when it comes to babies because men are dumb and unable to care for children, because you hate that.

See? Everything is fine. Just don't rat me out to Tim, and let me talk to Steph, and for fuck's sake, let me talk to people who aren't from fucking Gotham, and everything will be fine, or about as fine as things ever are with me.

I'm not even kidding, she would murder me. That's what this Huntress does, you know. Kill people. Because I have to assume the only way she'd leave Benny in my care is if things were seriously dire. It's like, me, or Tim and Superboy.

You're the one saying sooner or later... you're jinxing yourself.

I know it's going to happen, but I also know that those two are too soft to let Benny die. Obviously I only know that here, though, I'm not gonna juggle Benny with five chainsaws back in the game.

That's always good to hear. Both from the not-letting-a-kid-die side and the not-juggling-dangerous-things side. Five chainsaws is edging into overkill.
