Headed to TLV

[anewlanguage]

Does this mean I'm going to be crippled and murdered my first day? What a welcome! Guess it's better than solitary, huh?

Not just your first day.

You so much as look at Cassandra, I will break you in two.

[anewlanguage]

You're gonna have your work cut out for you then, Bats.

[theonlyresponse]

I look forward to it.

[anewlanguage]

I think even you'll get bored with the routine.

[theonlyresponse]

Never. [He'll even take joy killing you again and again if he wasn't worried about slight Lazarus Fever side effects.]

[anewlanguage]

Yeah you say that now. [He smiles grimly. Cain isn't exactly going to fight back, and however mutated this Bruce is, Cain's going to bet there's still some of that hero in him somewhere. Something in him that won't take pleasure in shooting someone who refuses to do anything but lie there.]

[crossestheline]

Oh, this is gonna be fun.

[anewlanguage]

Not as much as you think, kid. You're all itching for a fight, see.

[theonlyresponse]

We'll see. [Cain is right though, Bruce will not cause unnecessary injury even if he does kill. If he could control himself that much with the Joker, he can do it for others as well.]

[crossestheline]

It won't be much fun for you, but it's gonna be all kinds of fun for me.

[anewlanguage]

Then I have two words for you, boy.

Go ahead. [By the end of it he'll be worse than Cain, which is its own delightful sort of revenge, isn't it?]

[crossestheline]

Goodie. I planned on doing it regardless if you gave me permission or not.

[Jason isn't like the rest of the Bats. Taking out trash like Cain is part of his code of conduct. He's not "lowering his standards" or going against a set of archaic rules.]

[keepsthemsafe]

Par for the fuckin' course and better to get it out of the way.

[anewlanguage]

[He's fairly sure Bruce will step in eventually, if only because he won't want to see Jason become just another murderer. But if not...eh. He was planning on suicide by cop, anyway.]

Well lucky you, you got my blessing anyway. I'm sure Cass'll appreciate it. You going to give her my head in a box, too? She knows that trick, you know. Verifying the contents and all, big part of what we used to do.

[failedreintegration]

[Only a human would be happy about this -] I hate to imagine your version of a "bad day".

[anewlanguage]

Hear it doesn't take for long. Seems like a damn shame to me. You in the line of strangers I get to look forward to?

[theringfinder]

Well honestly if you go around saying things like that of course people are going to find excuses to hurt you!

What's solitary?

[anewlanguage]

[He chuckles. Finally, someone with a sense of humor!] I figure I'll have plenty of 'em come January.

[crossestheline]

[That's just the thing for Jason...he won't see it as murder. He's seen the marks on Cass' body. He's seen the exit wounds that stretched out because they were inflicted upon her when she was so young that they grew with her. Cain had a special place on Jay's "the world would be better off without this person" list. Bruce or anyone else will have a hell of a time convincing him otherwise.]

Are you trying to antagonize me or some shit? Because all you're doing is giving me ideas. [Smirks.] Nah, I'll have plans for you. Where would be the fun is ruining the surprise?

[keepsthemsafe]

No. Don't know what the fuck they're talking about. 'm doin' time but that's about it. Also fuck-all if I ain't thrilled to see somebody actually know what solitary is.

[You know what's up dude]

[anewlanguage]

Nah, trust me, they had plenty of excuses before I opened my mouth.

It's a cement room where they put violent criminals who need to be kept away from the other violent criminals.

[failedreintegration]

[frown. Wat is humor. :|] You sound like you're almost looking forward to it. Dare I ask why?

[theringfinder]

That seems awfully judgemental.

...I see. And you're one of these...er...Criminals?

[anewlanguage]

Kid... [He seems about to argue, but then he just sighs and smiles faintly and shrugs a shoulder.] Do what you want. What the hell.

If you do something I haven't seen before and I'll be impressed.

[crossestheline]

Prepare to be impressed. [You don't overthrow several crime syndicates in Gotham without learning a few new tricks on the way.]
