Here, have some weekend fluff, batfamily style.

[flyingg]

... can you please stop making those strangled noises? It was a long time ago.

*Auuuugh. Where this Dick is coming from, Alfred had a heart attack but is recovering; Damian has it so much worse.

... but, all right, that last addition makes Dick laugh.*

Of course not. But you can agree to it, right?

[bratbeyond]

[It comes with being Terry's Robin. :c]

Well, yeah. I'm not the one setting up the terms for this challenge.

[flyingg]

*one of these days I will have caught up with everything. Eventually.*

Well, yeah, but a good prize makes it all the more fun, right?

[bratbeyond]

[sklhsfk I'm flattered but this Damian's AU is fanmade ;; all of his info's on his journal]

... I guess so, assuming challenges are supposed to be fun.

[flyingg]

*... ah-haah. OH WELL STILL. Generally with Terry, I suppose.*

Some challenges are. Not those among enemies, of course.

[bratbeyond]

[It's fine, no worries!! ♥]

Tch, course not. But they're usually not challenges in the first place...

... Usually being the key word.

[flyingg]

*all the fun in the games!!!1!1!!*

Usually.

It's mostly easier when it's not a challenge. Things get complicated when they make it personal.

[bratbeyond]

It's kind of schwarbage when they make it personal. If those creeps want to dominate the world, they really need to learn to stop being so petty.

[flyingg]

I'd take if they just stop.

[bratbeyond]

But that's asking for the impossible! Doc---I mean Grayson, it'd be an Eid miracle.

[flyingg]

A guy can wish, right? Better world for our children and all that.

Doc what?

[bratbeyond]

... Doctor Grayson. It's kind of my nickname for you. In a world where you're a doctor, I mean.

[flyingg]

*... processing. Processing...*

That would have been all kinds of useful, wouldn't it. Being a doctor. Having an actual medic in the family.

[bratbeyond]

It's the best! [His bias towards Dick, how it's showing.] We don't have to worry about secret identity issues or anything since you already know everyone's, and everyone knows yours and stuff.

Not that you've been an actual superhero for a while, but you're the best doctor. And I say that actually knowing a ton of 'em.

[flyingg]

Aw man, I must have gone all... flabby land-hugger like.

... just kidding. *his smile flicks on again* You really think so? That's good, having the best.

[bratbeyond]

[He's trying so hard not to laugh at the mental image.]

I really think so. [beat] But you'd better not tell the old man. OR anyone else.

[flyingg]

*good. That was the idea

... and then, nods, and quieter* He's still being difficult, I gather?

[bratbeyond]

... Just a little, yeah. I don't understand how I'm actually his biological kid.

[flyingg]

I know it's really hard to believe, especially sometimes, but he does try. *beat* More often than not at the exactly worst possible times.

wow grammar fail

[bratbeyond]

[snorts] Sounds about right. I don't know, but I'm glad I've got my... my real parents? I'm not sure what to call them because they're my real parents and yet not.

It happens. Nearly 4 a.m. here, I might not have even noticed >.>

[flyingg]

*doesn't wince, but...* Parents. They are your parents. Too, if you want. Families aren't necessarily straightforward, but there are people that nobody can take away from you.

sdfl;sdjfk go get some sleep i can wait

[bratbeyond]

Yeah, I know. It's just really complicated.

... The upside is that I've got a ridiculous amount of family.

Sleep achivement: get...

[flyingg]

Sorry? Think of it like that... he's learned a little bit about it by now. I think.

I like that upside, personally. Kinda a lot.

\o/!

[bratbeyond]

It's a pretty meta-schway upside. I've got... my adoptive family? I mean, I'm technically half-Bangladeshi, so my adoptive mom has a bajillion cousins and so does my adoptive dad... [This Damian's not related to Talia Al'Ghul either. His mom was Dana Ibrahim, who's basically an Indian Wonder Woman.]

And that's not even counting all the Bats.

And then it's time for more. WHERE does time go?!

[flyingg]

*quiet chuckle* I always count all the Bats. *then again, there have been times when that's all he's had left, so.*

Another upside. Not only having all the family you want but also being able to give all of them you want the presents they need to get when it's time for that. I mean, if we're not tied up into something urgent.
