considering ataraxion

[pertinacious]

Heck yeah! I'm back, baby. What took you so long?

Wait, what. He's HOW old? You have got to be kidding me-- Yessssssssssss. Okay, I'm in. Someone's gotta keep these batkids in check, and as the oldest I'd so be in charge! Plus, after dealing with Damian, I can handle any kid.

Even teenage Grayson!

You got it, Mun. Let's do this.

[Don't start, Wallace.]

I treat my friends fine.

[speedydeliveryboy]

[Too late.]

Right. I guess that explains things then.

[totallyhisniece]

[Fine. Don't mind her as she gets up in your face, then.]

Whatever reasons you think I had for what I did, they're wrong.

[speedydeliveryboy]

Sure. Whatever. It's not like I care anymore. [Except he does and feels a bit like a jerk.]

I just don't... Let's just forget about it, okay? Not like anything I say matters to you anyway.

[totallyhisniece]

[Ouch, Wally. Don't you know that of all the people on the team, you're the one whose opinion matters most to her? Oh wait, of course you don't, Artemis doesn't SHARE pfft.]

It matters. You can hate me all you want but don't tell me it doesn't matter.

[speedydeliveryboy]

I don't hate you, Artemis.

[He sighs and looks at everything but her.]

I just...can't understand why you don't trust me. I mean, I know we got off to a rocky start when you first joined the team, but I thought we got past that. I guess I was wrong.

[totallyhisniece]

You sure act like you do!

[Damn it, and there he goes sounding so sad about everything. Stupid FEELINGS.]

We did. I do trust you, I do, it's just complicated and it's easier to just let you be mad at me for this than anything else.

[speedydeliveryboy]

Well, I don't.

[Feelings are hard. He'd much rather deal with the Injustice League again than deal with this.]

Alright, I get it. Well, I don't, but I'll trust you. Just try not to do anything as stupid and reckless as that again? 'Cause y'know, some people might worry and stuff. [Not him, of course. He means M'gann and Zatanna. Probably Kaldur, too. Mostly him.]

[totallyhisniece]

[It's him saying he trusts her that makes her shoulders lose some of the tension in them, and she sighs softly before glancing toward him with a slight grin.]

Maybe you should keep an eye on me then, to make sure I keep the stupid and reckless to a minimum.
