Muse wishes his Mun hadn't become more interested

[brokenbow]

It took all of that for you to even pay attention to me. Months of claiming you weren't good enough and now I'm on your level.

[he may be kind of pissed off somewhere under that contempt]

In case you're deluded, that's not a compliment. I don't exist to be your toy or anyone else's. Go find another one to play with. I don't have time for you.

{OOC: A certain mun may have watched the rest of season 1 leaked and Roy isn't happy about getting all this new attention. Spoilers definitely possible in comments.}

[They definitely have the most healthy and normal relationship ever. She's just going to ignore that first little statement, thanks.]

Last time I checked they still counted you as part of the team.

[brokenbow]

That's because they're more thick-headed than I am. [Or Speedy is? Was? He really shouldn't get into another identity crisis right now. He shrugs her hand off and takes a step back. Space, he needs it.]

[totallyhisniece]

[Well she's definitely not making any moves to put her hand back. Jerk. Why can't he just accept comfort?

Oh right. Pot, kettle, no room to talk. And space, he's not gonna get it.]

Yeah, but that never stops them from trying, does it? Makes the whole thing worse. For some reason they still like you and trust you. Maybe you should take the hint.

[brokenbow]

Or maybe they should. [He can't trust himself, so how can they be stupid enough to? Sometimes they're too trusting for their own good. Look how well that turned out for the Justice League.]

Maybe someone should stop thinking with their feelings and more with their brains.

[totallyhisniece]

If you really think they're going to just leave you out in the cold after all this you're nuts.

[brokenbow]

What's "nuts" is trusting someone who can turn on you at any time.

[Because Miss Martian removed all the programming she could find, but that doesn't mean something still isn't there. It doesn't mean he's not still a threat. If they won't acknowledge it, he will.]

[totallyhisniece]

Yeah, well, no one ever said they were the smartest group of people, but they're family and they include you in that mix.

[Stop being such a baby, Roy. So what if everything you know is upside down and there's so much guilt it could choke a rhino? Don't you know group hugs solve everything?

Also, some of M'gann's cookies.]

[brokenbow]

[He doesn't do hugs. And he can tell that Artemis is going to be too stubborn to reason with. So why bother.]

Someone else has to use their brain for them, then.

[totallyhisniece]

Guess that'd be me, then.

[She steps closer again and reaches up, but this time, instead of comforting hands on shoulders, she whacks him lightly on the back of the head.]

Let us help you, Roy. Whether you like it or not we count you as part of the team, and the team sticks together.

[brokenbow]

[He doesn't bother dodging the hand, just stares at her apathetically. She doesn't understand. Her betrayal was no where near the level of his--if it could ever be called that. It wasn't as if the League itself hadn't know the truth. She doesn't understand and he doesn't expect her to. He wouldn't want anyone else to.]

I don't need help. [Doesn't deserve it.] I need to get back to my mission. Not be forced into make-believe by some spoiled girl who wants to play God. It's a distraction and wastes of time I don't have to spare.

[totallyhisniece]

[Man is it hard to not hit him again, much harder this time, but somehow Artemis holds herself back. If there's anything she's not it's spoiled and she definitely has no interest in playing god, not even slightly. She just wants to help him, and that's new for her. She's not entirely sure how to manage it.]

So if you want to finish your mission so bad, let us come along.

[But no, a group that size would move too slowly, wouldn't it? There's a pause and then suddenly, she's got an idea.]

Or just me. We'd be a good team, working together.
