homeless, debating gargleblasted

[decentdad]

The team is perfectly capable of supervising themselves. There wouldn't be a team otherwise.

[But what about non-mission things? You know, when they're not the team and just... teenagers.]

...

They're still capable of supervising themselves. But the question you're really asking is, will they?

Well, how do you feel about teenage soap operas?

Because that's kind of what happened.

[decentdad]

...soap opera.

AAAAHHHH

[speedyfanboy]

[Oh. Batman. Batman from his universe Batman even.]

Hey Bats, long time no see. Like... ever.

pfffft SORRY I MEANT TO ACCEPT THAT YELL. Hi.

[decentdad]

[no preamble. just amble.]

I don't suppose you're willing to explain the soap opera comment, are you?

[alienfromkansas]

I never took you for the mother hen type, B.

[decentdad]

I'm not. This is more Canary's department.

[bodilesswarrior]

Pretty sure I can say with authority that Robin misses you.

[decentdad]

[...okay he's just. Going to ignore your very clear resemblance to Robin's other genius ginger BFF. Or try to. It's hard.]

By your assessment, or by his admission?

[ragingheaven]

I'm going to stop you right there and say I have a problem with that username.

False advertising, Bruce.

sorry i couldn't resist

[allthesensors]

[Hey.

Hey.

Don't talk about his Bat!Daddy like that.]

You're right, decent isn't a strong enough word.

[decentdad]

You and my player both seem to have me confused with someone else.

[He's both agreed with and invalidated your statement, Jason. How do you feel about that?]

Oh man this so makes my day. ♥

[hackingyoursensors]

From what I've heard from Zatanna, everyone's doing fine. Sometimes, they post here with cryptic "I'm not happy right now" posts and then tell me I don't want to know when I ask.

Well, hopefully this'll make the one after that!

[decentdad]

Does that convince you that you really don't want to know, or make you even more curious?

edited because whoops, THERE WAS MEANT TO BE SQUEEING HERE

[allthesensors]

[Not only is it a Batman, it's his Batman. His shoulders straighten and goes straight to business. He doesn't want Bats getting the wrong impression because of the soap opera comment.]

There's been some personal conflict but we worked out everything as a team. I've been leading the team in Kaldur's absence. The team has a training regiment that I drafted and in the next week or two, I'll be done with the virtual reality training program I've been working on. We might not be home but there are plenty of dangers in space.

<3 I will take it sob

[decentdad]

[He'd be just as pleased with your assessment if you kicked your feet up on the coffee table, Dick, it was clear, concise, and detailed.]

It sounds like you've conducted yourself well, conflicts aside. How did they react to the idea of the training regiment?

YES

[backwordscompatible]

Of course we are. Sort of.

...but I know Robin wouldn't mind seeing you again.

What the heck is self-control

[decentdad]

[And he did promise Zatara he'd keep an eye out for his little girl.

He nods to acknowledge her words.]

How is he holding up?

'Sup, Bats, 'sup?

[worst_mentor]

Supervision aside, I still think they'd be glad to have you there, anyway.

Nothin' much, nothin' much. You?

[decentdad]

Exactly.

What teenager wants an authority figure around?

[crockblocking]

[And you get Artemis for good measure.]

Of course we are. [Soap operas...aside.] That doesn't mean we don't want you there. I'm pretty sure Robin would be glad to see you.

[decentdad]

[Why do you all keep appealing to his emotions? It's bad. Stop that.]

That was very well constructed. There's absolutely no way I can argue against it.

[master_of_the_game]

Just great. More trouble.

[decentdad]

Maybe if you'd stop causing it, it would stop happening.

[Eye slits narrow.]

[gothams_joker]

Are we talking about the little ones you run about Gotham with? Oh, they'll be just fine on their own.

[He strikes a thoughtful look]

Well, until I show up, at any rate. Maybe I'll peg me a Robin this time! Haha!

[decentdad]

[Get. Out. Because he's just going to glare for right now.]

[bat_schway]

I've heard good things about that place. Mun used to play there, too. If there are people you know there, it'd probably be a good thing to go see them. From what I heard of what people are told when they get there, they'd definitely appreciate seeing a familiar face.
