/watching Batman: Animated Series, mun won't let things go

[ex_birdarang414]

...Why is it so funny to you that I fought off criminals with fish? When you're in combat, sometimes you have to use unusual resources.

[C'mon. The imagery of Robin twirling two fish and whacking people with them? Hilaaarious!]

Hey-- it worked, didn't it?

[umadrobin]

Fish, kid? Really?

Hey, can the suit make one of those? I haven't tried.

[ex_birdarang414]

They were there, alright.

What's stopping you?

[umadrobin]

Right. [ Whatever works. ]

I dunno, just thought I'd ask. It's your suit, after all. Who knows how many toys you stuffed in here that I don't know about yet.

[ex_birdarang414]

All the more reason for you to figure it out for yourself. If you're going to steal someone's property, don't expect them to give you the instructions for it.

[But he wouldn't exactly mind watching a fish fly out of nowhere and crash into Red X's face. Shame.]

[umadrobin]

Oh, come on. Don't tell me you accepted the fact that I stole it. You're gonna kill about half the fun of even having it.

[ex_birdarang414]

[Smirking, now.] Not quite. Just hoping you'll blunder with the technology. [Maybe electrocute yourself or something. I mean, what.]

[umadrobin]

Don't get too excited, kid. I think I did pretty good for my first run in this. Pretty sure your team would agree.

[feel_nevermore]

It'd be even funnier if said fish was Beast Boy.

[ex_birdarang414]

[This is Robin trying to hide a smirk.]

Somehow, I don't think he'd appreciate being used as a bludgeoning weapon.

[feel_nevermore]

[Except she totally saw that smirk, Robin. You can't hide it from Raven. She knows you too well.]

Never said you had to ask him beforehand.

Also he keeps saying he's got the greatest sense of humor. This would be the perfect opportunity for him to prove it.

[ex_birdarang414]

[He had to try! The remark gets a small laugh all the same.]

And let you miss out on the satisfaction of doing it yourself? That doesn't seem fair.

[feel_nevermore]

[That laugh brings a small smirk to Raven's lips. She's missed you, Robin.]

Well if my team leader himself is giving me permission to do it, then how could I possibly say no?

[She can already see BB pout and act all offended when she tells him that.]

[dork_of_keys]

Can't it be funny and effective?

[ex_birdarang414]

I think that was the idea. This show is good about bringing out comic relief in... weird ways.

[wing_of_night]

Was I really ever that uptight? C'mon, loosen up, me. Enjoy the absurdity of slapping a ne'er-do-well in the face with a bass.

[ex_birdarang414]

I'm not uptight.

[Oh, yes you are. Robin pauses, studying future!self for a moment before continuing.]

You haven't heard my mun's obnoxious and unrelenting teasing. It has a way of making it less enjoyable.

[wing_of_night]

Please, I know what you're going through. The whole Slade thing? Trust me, it gets better. I'm living proof of that.

[Dick grins, remembering something.]

Does it make you feel better if I tell you that you and Starfire will be hooking up in the near future?

[backwordscompatible]

[Nope. Definitely not the Robin she knows. Her Robin has a sense of humor.]

I don't know. Did it?

[ex_birdarang414]

[Hey, come on, now. This Robin has a sense of humor! It's just... y'know. Buried under the brooding workaholic overly-competitive leader thing he's got going on.]

Those guys weren't getting back up. I'd say they made a pretty effective weapon.

[backwordscompatible]

[Whatever you say, Tim Grayson]

I'll have to remember that for the future.

Assuming it ever actually comes up in battle.

[suburbanspoiler]

I thought that was Aquaman's thing.
