Origin Stories

[diggitydank]

I get it, mun: this is bad. They've pretty much turned me into Tim.

Being Tim's fine. For Tim. Not for me, I get that.

Do you want to just ignore it, though? We have had some fun together, but I know you're trying to go back through 20+ years of my history to go back before time got all... messy.

Heh. Right. Too bad The Doctor's just a TV character?

Grayson.

What have they done to you? Like... Drake? What kind of sick joke...

[diggitydank]

Easy there, Damian. What I mean is, apparently I was a junior detective, like Tim.

I figured out Bruce was Batman all on my own.

[thegoddamnrobin]

Hmph. That doesn't sound right at all. Do you still hail from the circus?

[diggitydank]

Of course. There's no way you'd drag the circus out of this boy.

[thegoddamnrobin]

You're still as embarrassing as ever, at least.

[diggitydank]

Oh, I embarrass you, huh? Just you wait - one day you'll bring a friend around and then... I'll strike.

[thegoddamnrobin]

Ugh. [He doesn't know how he deals with you, Dick.] I don't know how I tolerated you as my Batman for all that time. Assuming that time still "counts".

[diggitydank]

It counts. Something else you don't have to worry about.

[ Because he's just going to assume if it hasn't been mentioned, it hasn't been changed. ]

[thegoddamnrobin]

tt. Very well. Then I should be grateful to retain the experience I'll need to become a better Batman than you.

[diggitydank]

You have time to get there, Little D, and I have no doubt you'll soar above me.

[supernovas]

At this point I doubt a doctor would be much help.

[diggitydank]

Never heard of Doctor Who, Kori?

[ He chuckled, already imagining the answer. ]

I think short of the multiverse being rewritten, nothing'll help.

[supernovas]

Are you unsatisfied?

[diggitydank]

Eh? No. I'll roll with the punches.

[ A small shrug. ]

My mun, on the other hand...

[supernovas]

Complaining seems to be what they do best though. Too bad they're impossible to ignore.

[diggitydank]

Right?

[supernovas]

All we can do is enjoy it for what it's worth I suppose.

[diggitydank]

"Go with the flow," huh? One of my favorite parts of Tamaranean culture.

[supernovas]

And that might be the only thing around here that reminds you of Tamaranean cluture.

[diggitydank]

Wait- What? Where's that coming from, Kori?

[supernovas]

[ No, she's not opening that can of worms. ] Forget it.

[diggitydank]

You can be open with me.

[ He can imagine all the things that might be wrong, but there's little he can do with possibilities. ]

[supernovas]

Thank you. [ She responds happily enough. ]

[demon_brat]

My mun says there is a lot in that history that's well worth it.

[diggitydank]

Oh, my mun knows that. He just has an attention span flightier than- ... Well, a bird.

[demon_brat]

>Tt.< Does that make you a good fit, then?

*He knows he's being unkind. But sometimes, he can't help it, still.*

[diggitydank]

A perfect fit, actually.

[ Because he's not gonna back down from turning that one around. ]

[demon_brat]

*siiiigh, that wasn't a compliment*

Then it's supposed to work out - sooner or later. Isn't it.

[plains_hunter]

The more I see of this reboot business, the more I'm glad I'm not part of it. God only knows what they'd do to me.

[diggitydank]

"Bit by a radioactive cat that spliced your DNA."

[plains_hunter]

Don't. Kid, I'm warning. DO NOT. For all we know, they could be reading.

[diggitydank]

Right. I think we're quite content without pondering the results of that experiment.
