There will probably be spoilers everywhere

[crockshot]

No mun, there's going to be no regrets. I did what I had to do.

[Artemis is good at talking the talk, but her face says otherwise.]

It was necessary, even Nightwing understood that and now I need you to understand it too.

[Apparently she's always going to be a horrible liar.]

Enough, this conversation is over.

So, how's that plan working out? Having fun?

[crockshot]

I don't have time for this.

What do you want.

[wallyiswally]

Yeah, necessary. [He's not bitter. Really.] And just how far will things go because they're deemed necessary?

[crockshot]

[Don't look at her in that tone of voice, Wally.]

As far as it has to go to make sure that we stop this invasion before it starts.

We're not-I'm not doing this because I want to do this, Wally.

[best_dad_ever]

So the mun tells me you've all hit a few snags in your little plan. Pity, that.

So what's it like, having to lie to everyone around you once again?

[wallyiswally]

[Sigh. The problem is he isn't sure just how far Dick will go to stop it. And that thought both terrifies him and feel like crap for even thinking it.]

... I know. I'm allowed to be worried though, right?

[batmansphoenix]

Whinewhinewhine. If it's so necessary stop trying to give explanations and do whatever you have to do.

[crockshot]

Pretty sure that's what I just said. You might want to try cleaning your ears out.

[batmansphoenix]

Maybe, because all I heard was 'I need to convince myself of this'. Worst acting ever, by the way.

[crockshot]

[As the one who pushed the button? She gets it, it really feels like they've crossed the line this time and it's not a good feeling.]

If I said no you'd still worry anyway, so knock yourself out.

[wallyiswally]

Will do. I mean, it's not like I have anything else to do.

[Besides just sitting back and watching everything fall apart around him.]

[precocialghul]

One must do what is necessary. And if Nightwing understands that, trust his judgement. Don't listen to your mun. Though you may want to work on lying with your face as well as your words.

[crockshot]

We're not having this conversation.

[crockshot]

What? No assignments left already?

[Speaking of which, man this is definitely going to put a major kink in her school plans isn't it. Damn.]

[crockshot]

If you were aiming for friendly pep talk you're failing pretty hard core, Jason.

[Why does everyone have to rub in the fact that she can't act? Rude. It's not her fault she ended up an arrow and not a bat, okay?]

[crockshot]

Of course I trust Nightwing. You think I'd give up everything for this mission if I didn't think we were doing the right thing?

[She just didn't expect it to be quite so emotionally challenging. Which is probably silly, but whatever.]

[precocialghul]

Then why is there any doubt on your face at all?

[batmansphoenix]

Pep talk isn't really my thing.

[crockshot]

Really? Could have fooled me.

[Only not really, see keywords.]

[crockshot]

I said I was committed, I didn't say that it was easy.

[wallyiswally]

[Let's just hope you get to worry about your school plans later.]

Wouldn't know. School hasn't really been that high of a priority lately. Was needed elsewhere. [Looking after your mother to be exact. Who is clearly going to hate him after the truth comes out.]

[precocialghul]

It never is. Don't let the difficulty sway your path. Both Mother and Father taught me that. If something stands between you and your goal, you take it out.

[crockshot]

How about you come back for a lecture once you've had to blow up the batroost or whatever you guys call it. Then maybe you'll actually know what it's like.

[crockshot]

[Yeah, still sucks to think about all that wasted money though. It's not like they actually have a ton of it to throw around right now.]

....Sorry. I know how important your classes are to you.

[He doesn't have to outright say that it's her fault, it's pretty obvious that it is. Man this blows big time.]

[precocialghul]

I already tried to blow up Drake once. The attempt failed. And it is called the Batcave. It shouldn't be hard to remember.
