This is a waste of time. You don't have what it takes to play me. I need a better mun than you. I'm sure you'll lose interest and I can actually do something worthwhile; like clean my room or brush my teeth.

I'm sure you understand sarcasm, right? You are on the internet. If you don't by now, you're even more hopeless than I thought. On the positive side I don't have to share this filthy headspace with any of the other Robins. At least you have good taste, but that's about all you have going for you.

I really don't care if you have a game in mind or not. I don't need to defend some other city. I defend Gotham. Going anywhere else would just be a waste of time.

Wow, you give a shit, thanks Dick. I never expected that from you, not now. But really, what on earth could you possibly want for me?

[flyingg]

Take away your pain, bring you happiness and light, balloons and puppies and peace on earth.

But I could do with making sure you know that, even now, you are not alone, and that, yes, I give a shit, and I'm not the only one, as a start.

[robin_under_the_hood]

Great, good to know. Are you going to hug me to make me feel better?

[flyingg]

*beat. And wiiide blue eyes as he shifts the lenses transparent.*

Do you want me to?

[robin_under_the_hood]

[Blink blink and he takes an unconscious step back.]

No. No I don't want a hug Greyson.

[flyingg]

*sorry. Dick is kind of sort of laughing at you, Jaybird.*

You sure, Little Wing? They're good, I promise.

*no, he's not trying to crowd him. But the reaction is just. Priceless.*

No, seriously, Jay. Just remember sometimes that you can't claim that nobody cares when you ignore or run away when they show you they do. Think about that.

[robin_under_the_hood]

[Crosses his arms and glares at Dick.]

Me running away, and ignoring you lot still doesn't change some pretty hard facts, Dick. Batman normally doesn't associate with killers or criminals. Do you really think Bruce would make an exception just for me? Just because he's still guilty?

[flyingg]

*sighs, and crosses his arms back at Jason.*

I dunno, little brother. Do you have to continue being a killer and a criminal? Because two more of his children have been that, and they are definitely part of the family.

But whether or not you choose to change that or not, whether or not he can, or would, associate with you, whether or not he'll find a way to sho it - and he sucks at that, I can vouch for that - you are his son. He'll always care. And you're my oldest pain in the ass little brother.

[robin_under_the_hood]

[Drops his arms to his sides and stares at the ground.]

...I just can't get rid of you, huh Dick? But, thanks for that. You'll always be the older brother I wished were around more often.

[Runs a hand through his hair before looking back up at Dick and giving him a sincere look.]

But that's enough, wishy-washy crap, okay?

[flyingg]

*makes a bit of a face at that, though his eyes are warm.*

Yeah, Bruce might have had a point, about me being a bit too busy with the team. 'm sorry about that. It's... I'm around here, now?

*lips twitch up*

Okay. Just something to remember, when it seems like anger is all you have left. There's more.

[robin_under_the_hood]

Yeah, I'll remember that.

[flyingg]

All right. *small sigh. DAMMIT, Jay. He wants everything to be okay for you somehow...*

[robin_under_the_hood]

*He's just a stubborn teenager still. That's what's wrong here Dick.*

So, what are you up to lately?

[flyingg]

... I was stuck in a different universe - from where I usually am, I mean - and I'm working my way back. Annnnd, well. What one gets up to, here.

[robin_under_the_hood]

Oh, so nothing much in other words. Sounds fairly normal.

[flyingg]

You said it, brother.

You?

[robin_under_the_hood]

Oh you know, being sent off to some game to visit or something. That's all.

[flyingg]

Hey, visiting doesn't sound half-bad. Stuck somewhere has a worse ring to it.

[robin_under_the_hood]

Yeah, well the mun has plans to stick me there.

With the runt no less.

[flyingg]

... I should probably point out that he's likely to get as tall as his dad. Taller than me, at any rate. He's not a runt.

And, who knows, maybe you'll find something there which makes it less unpleasant to stick around.

[robin_under_the_hood]

I think the only pleasant things will be the fact that there is no Joker and no Tim to stink up the place.

[flyingg]

You're taking the bleak outlook entirely too far, Jaybird.

... though no Joker is definitely a plus.

[robin_under_the_hood]

I'm good at bleak.

Well...maybe I can at least knock some respect into the runt.

[flyingg]

You shouldn't have to be.

*winces* He may be more than you can actually chew, if you push him the wrong way. He's more like Bruce than either of them will ever admit.

[robin_under_the_hood]

I dealt with Bruce just fine.
