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.

Dude, have I ever been in denial about anything?

[redheadedspeedster]

No, but crushes aren't just anything.

All I'm saying is you protested the idea of having a crush on this babe a little too much. You even tried to distract your mun with work. So I'll ask again; you sure it's not a crush?

[hackingyoursensors]

All I did was remind her that she has work to do.

I'm positive.

[redheadedspeedster]

Uh-huh. You keep telling yourself that, dude.

I get to be best man at the wedding, right?

[hackingyoursensors]

You get to be the best man at any wedding I might have. I thought that was obvious.

[redheadedspeedster]

Likewise, dude.

So, who is the third part of this non-existent triangle?

[hackingyoursensors]

Tim. Though you could probably also argue Zatanna, but then this would be a love square.

[redheadedspeedster]

Tim? Zatanna? Dude, it sounds like you've been a busy bird.

[hackingyoursensors]

I think you're misunderstanding my love square, KF. Tim has a thing for Steph. He just has very intense hero worship for me. I supposedly have a thing for both Steph and Zatanna. It's a complicated love square.

[redheadedspeedster]

"Very intense hero worship for you"? Dude, that sounds just a bit creepy when you phrase it like that.

[And don't let Gear think your ways with the ladies is a Bat-thing, Rob. Tell him the truth about how it's because I'm your best friend and you've learn the ways of love from the master.]

[hackingyoursensors]

It's more awkward than creepy.

[Uh huh. The master who spent almost all of season 1 in denial?]

[redheadedspeedster]

But this guy isn't like off his rocker or anything, is he? [He's not aware of the Bat-fam, okay?]

[Dude, the denial was all part of his plan. He had everything under control the entire time.]

[hackingyoursensors]

He's a Robin so he's about on his rocker as he can be. A little paranoid, though.

[Uh yeah sure.]

[redheadedspeedster]

I assume he's from one of them alternate universes then? And isn't being a little paranoid like rule number one in the Batman handbook?

[And who stole moves out of my playbook when Zatanna showed up the first time? Yeah, that would be you, Rob.]

[hackingyoursensors]

Yeah. Apparently he's my second successor. [A concept he's not totally okay with, but at least Tim's a nice guy.] And he's way more paranoid than I am. Maybe it's just the way his dimension is, though.

[You mean his oh-so-smooth awkward introduction? Thanks for that, KF.]

[redheadedspeedster]

Second successor? I guess I can understand the hero worship thing better now. Does the Robin count in that world stop at three or is there more?

[Hey, she didn't really seem to mind it. So you're welcome.]

[hackingyoursensors]

No, the running total is five.

[What would he do without you?]

[redheadedspeedster]

Five, huh? I'm sure the other four can't compare to the original, though. [You'll always be his favorite version of the Boy Wonder, Dick.]

[Who knows? Hopefully you'll never have to find out.]

[hackingyoursensors]

Thanks, man. They're not all that bad at the crimefighting gig, though. [And you'll always be his favorite speedster, bro.]

[redheadedspeedster]

I'm not sure that Batman is capable of having a partner that's bad at the crimefighting gig.

[And now about something he's wondered about every now and then.]

...How do you think it'd go if I was Batman's partner? Think I could be Bat-clan worthy? [No Wally.]

[hackingyoursensors]

I say this with all kindness, but I'm pretty sure Batman would ban you from the Cave in five minutes flat.

[redheadedspeedster]

Hey! I'm perfectly capable of being all secretive and hiding in the shadows.

[He thinks about it for a moment.]

...Five minutes would be pushing it, wouldn't it? [Bruce wouldn't let him in the door, much less the cave.]

[hackingyoursensors]

Yeah, I was being a little generous.

[redheadedspeedster]

I appreciate it, Rob. I know I can always count on you.

[Unless you're giving Artemis the okay to crush me with the news about M'gann/Conner in public at my birthday party.]

[hackingyoursensors]

Hey, that's what friends are for.

[Hey, hey, it was her idea. And you had to find out before you embarrassed yourself even more.]
