on being picked up and thrown into the headspace

[lethally]

So you finally got tired of all the sidekicks running around, hmm? Can't say I'm blame you; none of them are remotely near my level, and especially not the small, annoying one.

[pause]

But don't think for one moment that I'm putting up with any of this willingly.

Generally we don't like being called sidekicks.

[lethally]

[oh, little sister. so good to see you too.]

And I don't like being stuck here with twenty other mind-numbing idiots, but we can't all get what we want, now can we?

[totallyhisniece]

We grew up with our dad. You know the answer to that.

[lethally]

It was rhetorical, Artemis. I thought they taught you that in the junior Justice League.

[and don't mention that man in front of her]

[wing_of_night]

Oh, I don't know, I think I could give you a run for your money.

[lethally]

Oh look, if it isn't the little bird, all grown up. I assume that means you've gained some experience.

[wing_of_night]

You could say that. Haven't been sitting on my butt all those years y'know.

Besides, I'm the only person - that I know of anyway - that can go toe-to-toe with Batman and fight him to a stalemate. If you think you can take me, go right ahead.

[inmateincharge]

You'll have to be more specific - can't say I've met a sidekick that isn't small and annoying.

I'll delete if not cool, but needed to let Dick say this.

[wing_of_night]

Hey, I'm not small. ...Anymore.

I've got no problem with it!

[inmateincharge]

I dunno about that - it wouldn't hurt for you to grow a couple of inches!

[lethally]

[you do bring up a very good point]

Some of them are quite tall. [Superboy, Aqualad, and mm, Red Arrow.] But I have to agree. It's really not becoming at all.

[inmateincharge]

Still, I don't mind that there's so many of these brats around - it gives me so many options to choose from! [He's already beaten one Robin to death, but he's aiming for a new record of murdered sidekicks!]

[theshape]

A strong woman who wears a white mask? Unacceptable. She must die most violently. So The Shape is just going to creep around in the shadows, waiting for the chance to cut your throat

[lethally]

[sorry, Shape. you can't catch Cheshire that easily, not when she can disappear just like her namesake.

but sure, come find her. she'll be waiting.]

[best_dad_ever]

Willingly or not, little girl. That's just how things are.

[lethally]

[of course. it would have to be you.]

I'm not your 'little girl.'

[best_dad_ever]

[He was thinking of going as Jason Voorhees for Halloween.]

You could change your face, your name, and all the blood in your body, but you still wouldn't be able to change that fact. We're blood, for better or worse.

[angroy]

[Disapproving look.]

We're not sidekicks.

[That aside, hay gurl hay.]

[lethally]

[hay boy hay]

Really? Your association with your little friends seems to imply that you are.

[angroy]

[What up?]

Working alongside someone doesn't make them sidekicks.

[And he's technically in the League. Gosh, Jade.]

Are you sure you're not just whelmed with all of us around? [he's not sorry]

[lethally]

[your bandwagon is boring. and overcrowded. :|]

Quite. In fact, I could go so far as to say that I'm underwhelmed.

[sowhelmed]

[what no it's a PARTY and YOU'RE NOT INVITED]

Give it a few days. Willingly or not, I'll bet you'll change your mind.

[wholenewstory]

[Cass tilts her head, studying her.]

Shouldn't underestimate them.

[lethally]

And why not?

[please, do tell.]
