On apping to dramadramaduck

If you are going to indulge in this lunacy, then do it. Dawdling for so long is unflattering.

And I hope you do not intend to let that police officer interfere with my plans. It is difficult enough that you would send me in to a place without any allies; do not make things even more torturous by letting him get his hands into my intentions for Gotham.

From an insane Dick Grayson is Harry Potter AU.

[dickandharry]

You really oughta keep your stinking paws away from Gotham.

[Said the 14-year-old crouching on the rafters]

[no_ordinary_citizen]

[She narrows her eyes at him.]

And why should I listen to the demands of a child?

[dickandharry]

Because I was trained by a certain pointy-eared vigilante you might be familiar with.

[no_ordinary_citizen]

[Her face splits into a cold grin.] And you think that will be incentive for me to stop.

[dickandharry]

Less of an incentive, more of a warning.

[no_ordinary_citizen]

And you think that your friend frightens me? On the contrary, I welcome his presence as Gotham burns.

[broke_the_bat]

Even across dimensions and years, there's no mistaking who you are. It's been a while, Talia.

[no_ordinary_citizen]

Nor is there any mistaking who you are. Though you look quite different than usual, Bane.

[broke_the_bat]

Where I am from, we are not as familiar as in your world. I was born in a prison called Pena Duro in Santa Prisca; an island nation near Mexico, far from the Middle-Eastern pit you met my counterpart in.

I carried out a similar plot to break the Batman, though it was on my own. I only met you years later while searching for the truth about my father.

You should know, where I'm from, Ra's Al Ghul has unlocked the secret to literal immortality through the Lazarus Pits.

[no_ordinary_citizen]

Then you are not the friend I am familiar with, but you are still him at the same time.

...you mean my father lives, where you are?

[broke_the_bat]

We are friends, but not of the same caliber, I admit. I have done nothing so noble as to protect a scared girl as she grew in Hell on Earth. In my world, there was no need. Ra's raised and trained you from birth in my world.

He does. He has 'died' many times, only to be restored through the pits. I have seen his body broken, battered, stabbed, shot, burned, and many other things, none of which have had any lasting effect on him. I have experienced the pits myself, even.

[There's a slight curve under the mask where his mouth is.] I must admit, though. I'm curious as to how you would react to the news of your relationship with Bruce Wayne in my world...

[no_ordinary_citizen]

Then how did you leave the Pit...? Or were you lucky enough that you should avoid that fate?

...I am glad of that. He has made many mistakes, but his murder should not have occurred. His work with the League was incomplete.

Dare I ask what you mean by that?

[broke_the_bat]

Pena Duro was my world's equivalent of the Pit. I learned. I taught myself everything I could. I built alliances, I killed any who stood in my way, and I clawed my way out to freedom.

I have no real opinion regarding your father's actions. I care nothing for the League anymore.

[There's an amused snort.] Rumor has it that you bore his son.

[no_ordinary_citizen]

I see. Even if you are not the Bane I know, I am glad you've been able to make your way out of such a place.

A pity, that. You have been a very loyal ally to us here.

[Her immediate reaction to that bit of news is a visceral look of disgust, followed by a few seconds of silence as she wraps her mind around the concept.] Then things must be much different where you are, then.

[broke_the_bat]

Perhaps the Bane you know is more noble than I. [He reaches back and taps the tubes feeding into the base of his skull.] These made quick work of any nobility I may have had left.

[He chuckles at that reaction.] As far as I know, however, it's nothing more than rumor. As I said, I lost contact with you and your father when I put Gotham behind me.

[holyblankbatman]

[ Richard is just going to be frowning slightly over at her. For a number of reasons.]

Ms Tate.

[no_ordinary_citizen]

[Her eyes narrow, and her mouth twists into something resembling a smile.]

Mr. Grayson.

[holyblankbatman]

Oh? So you do know me. How nice for you.

[ Adopted son of the richest man in Gotham]

[no_ordinary_citizen]

And you seem to know who I am as well, Mr. Grayson. [hey robin/nightwing dont mind her she just wants to blow up gotham mmkay]

[aceofkillers]

You say that like there ain't a whole slew of folk who would interfere with them goofy plans of yours.

[no_ordinary_citizen]

Most of those people are easily dealt with.

[aceofkillers]

When they don't know what's comin', sure.

Bit of a different story when a place like this keeps 'em in the loop.

[no_ordinary_citizen]

Lucky, then, that I have not said exactly what is planned.

[aceofkillers]

Lucky, then, all I need to know's what you look like.
