Awkward Batfam love triangles 2012

[hackingyoursensors]

What are you talking about? There is no love triangle. I don't have a "schoolboy crush" on Steph. Sure, she's nice and a good fighter and, yeah, pretty. But it's just esteem, not a crush. There's a very clear difference.

By the way, don't you have work to do? Maybe you should focus on that instead of making up so-called "crushes" I have.

I would. Romance just gets in the way of the good stuff, like comic books and secret spy missions.

[hackingyoursensors]

[Trying not to laugh.]

You can still have a girlfriend and go on, uh, secret spy missions.

[bratbeyond]

No you can't. My teachers tried that once, and it ended up pretty dismal for both of them.

Plus, I've already been on a super-secret spy mission.

[hackingyoursensors]

What if your girlfriend goes on secret spy missions with you?

Well, yeah, you're Robin. We go on super secret spy missions all the time.

[bratbeyond]

It wouldn't be good for our covers. Plus, she'd get jealous of me and the other girls in all the cities.

Yeah, Robin goes on secret spy missions... but how often does Damian get to go?

[hackingyoursensors]

Then you're not dating the right girl. It'd be like me getting jealous just because my girlfriend flirted with someone for the sake of the mission.

Really? Why were you on a spy mission as Damian?

[bratbeyond]

I'm not dating anyone. And I quite honestly don't ever plan on it. [It's a touchy subject for him, so he's dropping it. Now.]

Because it's required at mercenary school? If you're not spying on people, you're killing monsters or making business deals.

[hackingyoursensors]

Uh, wow. Killing monsters and making business deals? That's a pretty varied curriculum.

[bratbeyond]

Eh, it seems pretty normal. I'd be more worried if people didn't know how to fight or use magic.

[hackingyoursensors]

Yeah, I can't use magic. I don't know the first thing about it, to be honest.

[bratbeyond]

It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. I like air magic - and airbending - the best.

[hackingyoursensors]

I bet you could even properly fly if you learned air magic just right. I don't think I have a magic bone in my body, though.

[bratbeyond]

Everyone's got the ability to use magic. It just depends on how you use it.

... Though I don't think it's along those same lines back home.

[hackingyoursensors]

What do you mean?

[bratbeyond]

I mean, it seems like you have to be born with it to use it in our worlds... but at school, you don't need any ability to use it.

[hackingyoursensors]

So basically if I went to your school, I could use magic but I couldn't use it anymore when I got home.

[bratbeyond]

[well, when he puts it like THAT...] Yeah. I think airbending still works, since I didn't learn that from school.

[hackingyoursensors]

So you can fly? Kind of poetic.

[bratbeyond]

'Cause we're birds? I guess so.

[hackingyoursensors]

Don't let the bad guys know: they'll drive you nuts with even more bird puns. "I'll shoot this bird out of the sky" and all that.

[bratbeyond]

They should just bring it on. It's not like they ever win!

[hackingyoursensors]

True, but it's still really annoying. I think even Batman's sick of it.
