meta as hell, re: holy musical b@man because why not

I don't think Dick Grayson has ever looked that good before.

[ So, so amused. Not a lot of things make Ivy laugh, but those old-fashioned spandex suits have. ]

"Flying in the Friendship Ship"? Ahahaaa, I'm crying. Oh, please ... Harley! Harley, you have to see them, you're allowed to veg out on the sofa if this is what's on TV.

... I see. So that's what you wanted all along.

[ You don't know me was on the tip of her tongue until he mentioned the clown, replaced by a grim appraisal of Jason at her side. ]

His venom's like baby-food to me. Why should I care what happens to anyone else?

What? No! It's not what I wanted all along. It's one reason among others!

[He frowns, unsure of just what else to say but determined to go on anyway.]

Lots of people need to take special precautions around people they know, around people they're interested in, because of circumstances. Couples where someone is HIV-positive stand out as a big one. Some of the spontaneity can't be there, sure, but that's no reason not to pursue it. It's ... a challenge. An obstacle.

[He offers his hand, trying to smile, but now nervous. About pissing off Ivy, about making a fool of himself, but not nervous about reprisal. If it happens, he'll respond. Not before.]

I'm not asking to marry you, and I'm not talking about sleeping together, either. I'm asking about one date.

[ She watches him for a moment as if considering, then glances down. ]

I've been using amplified pheromones on you since you came over, Jason. [ This pokerface as to whether she's lying or not? For his own good. ] This isn't you talking, it's them. I've seen it a thousand times.

[ She's been worse than a liar, but now it's up in the air as to whether she actually is. If he's drugged, he won't realise and if he isn't, he'll feel no difference having a clean bill of health. ]

No. You haven't. I feel fine, unchanged. I've had no change in heartrate except from ... nervousness. Vision's fine, I'm not utterly fawning over you, and if you give me an order, I'll disobey it just to drive it home.

More than that, your amplified pheromones would have reacted to the chemicals in that autoinjector I used.
