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.

[totallyhisniece]

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.

[inmateincharge]

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

[totallyhisniece]

Ha ha, very funny.

[Except no it really wasn't, gosh Jade.]

So, is your mun just going to bring you out for memes and stuff or do they have a destination for you?

[She's only asking because she wants to make sure you won't cause trouble. That's all. It has nothing to do with worrying about your safety. Definitely.]

[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.

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

[wing_of_night]

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

[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.

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]

[she's touched, Artemis. ♥]

That seems to be the plan for now. Why? [sly smile] Do you miss me?

[lethally]

And a very fine butt it is.

[she can show a little appreciation for the finer points of male anatomy.]

Is that an invitation?

:D

[wing_of_night]

I'm five foot ten. Last I checked, that's not considered short by a long shot.

[wing_of_night]

You'll have to take that up with Starfire and Batgirl. They're the experts on my butt.

[And Dick is a big fan of the female anatomy. ...Just not for psycho killers that go by 'Cheshire.']

You would take it, even if it wasn't, wouldn't you?

[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]

Hole in one, Birdboy.

[and hey, it takes a special kind of woman to become a psycho killer, alright? don't be dissin' that.]

[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.]

[wing_of_night]

Thought so. Where is this going from there?

[He's not. After all, Kory could've gone either way with her all-or-nothing emotions. Also, Dick is totally just scratching a shoulder, not reaching for an Escrima stick.]

[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.

[lethally]

[of course you are, Dick. and Jade's casually readjusting her kimono, not palming one of her sais.]

Depends. Your place or mine?

[wing_of_night]

Just common courtesy to let the lady choose, really.

[Damn that's a stubborn itch.]
