So....how about that new trailer, Artemis?

[crockblocking]

 So how about we don't talk about it instead? Because I like that idea much better. If you really want to make me feel better or whatever, you can start by cutting it out with the screeching. It's annoying.

...movie night?

[a.k.a. Brosis' attempt at providing a much needed distraction]

[ridemyelectrostick]

Yeah it's... something.

[Tim why are you here you're really bad at this.]

[worlds_best_father]

What? You get to be just like your mother. At least you know how to emulate one of your parents.

[crockblocking]

I like that idea, too.

[Zee you are the best brosis, okay?]

[crockblocking]

Something we don't ever need to talk about.

But, your jacket was...interesting.

[It's okay, Tim. You can both be awkward.]

[backwordscompatible]

We can spend it completely ignoring everything except for the fact that you completely kicked Nightwing's butt.

[She can accept that title.]

[crockblocking]

Better her than you. Which reminds me, I get to trick you again, so that's an upside.

[Kind of.....]

[ridemyelectrostick]

I thought it looked nice.

[They can have an awkward party.]

[leftthenest]

Hey.

[You guys are so mean.]

[backwordscompatible]

...well, she did.

[Excuse you. This is brosis time.]

[leftthenest]

Well. Yeah. I don't see why you guys are celebrating, though.

[Your point?]

[crockblocking]

[Okay, she might have snorted a little.]

Hey, I was "following through" with my end of the job. Had to make it look good.

[worlds_best_father]

Oh yeah, you look like you're doing just dandy.

[backwordscompatible]

I'm pretty sure the word "celebrating" never came up. I said "ignoring everything else except for the fact."

[You are not a brosis]

[crockblocking]

Yeah. And I see the whole never-leave-home-without-the-belt thing carried over, too.

[Those are the best kinds of parties. Oh wait--]

[backwordscompatible]

Well, congratulations there. Mission accomplished.

[leftthenest]

Implying that it is the one good thing in that whole trailer. Because you wouldn't focus on something you saw as negative.

[That's got to be some kind of -ist. Nightwing-ist?]

[leftthenest]

[UNAMUSED. Mostly.]

Uh huh. Then how do you know I didn't go easy on you so that you looked good?

[ridemyelectrostick]

Well, yeah, I have to have my belt with me. Going anywhere without my gear is pretty bad strategy.

[They just stand by the punch bowl and try not to look at each other.]

[backwordscompatible]

Really, if you think about it, it's a compliment.

[Or maybe you're just being overly sensitive.]

[leftthenest]

I already see where this is going, but, please, enlighten me.

[Maybe you're being overly insensitive.]

[backwordscompatible]

If you weren't one of the best fighters on the team...probably the best...it wouldn't feel like such an accomplishment to win in a one-on-one against you.

[Except...not...at all...?]

[leftthenest]

That sounds suspiciously like a backhand compliment.

[backwordscompatible]

Anyone ever tell you you're too suspicious sometimes?

[leftthenest]

Only people who haven't trained with Batman.
