Guess who just found out about the spoilers for Batman Inc. #8?

[therealrobin]

No.

No.

I don't care about that. I don't. But you are not going to use it as an excuse to shuck me off to some cesspit.

I refuse.










You do know I know ways to kill you that are undetectable, correct?

So don't let her put you in a game. There's always the memes and the like, D. [Dick shrugged, utterly unconcerned about all this because that was actually what he knew and enjoyed.]

Okay, you might be laying it on a little bit thick there, baby bird. [A laugh escaped Nightwing when Damian continued on the vein about all the things he'd rather do.]

[And those were the best kinds of girls! Someone smart and capable of handing you your own ass. But maybe that was just Dick's preferences. He certainly seemed to find himself drawn to that particular type. And gingers but that went without saying]

[therealrobin]

[Damian is on the verge of arguing when his animated features suddenly drop.]

Baby bird? I save people countless times and I still get the "baby?" [He's due to die soon, but this is the respect he gets. Good to know.]

Tt.

I did see a murder meme making the rounds.

[And Damian tends to go for women who are just as deadly - if not deadlier - than his mother.]

[the_flying_grayson]

[Watching the animated expression fade away, Dick mentally cursed and tried to play things off coolly.]

Don't be that way, Damian. You are the baby of the family and we've all been stuck with 'bird' nicknames over the years. You try being Dickiebird.

[Both of Nightwing's eyebrows rose in a mildly surprised look when his younger brother suggested a murder meme.] And just who is going to do the murdering exactly?

[therealrobin]

[Okay, that gets something strangely close to a grin from him. Damian has thought about it from time to time, but Grayson's parents hadn't named him very well. Richard was a good name, but Dick...]

Tt. I'm not killing anyone, Grayson. [Yet. If he can help it.] I thought I might see if there was something to investigate. You know. Since I'm a detective and all.

[the_flying_grayson]

[It probably said a lot about Dick that he was just plain happy to see that rather creepy grin on his younger brother's face. After spending years trying to get the grim, brick wall that was Bruce Wayne to lighten up, he would take what he could get with Damian.]

Hmmn. Alright though why would we be investigating a murder instead of letting the GCPD handle it?

[therealrobin]

[Damian's eyes narrow. Honestly. For someone so smart, Grayson still manages to surprise him.]

Because they're idiots, and apprehending criminals is what we do?

[the_flying_grayson]

Don't give me that look, Damian. You and I both know we're incapable of replacing the GCPB.

[Exasperated, Dick just reached up to pinch the bridge of his nose.]

[therealrobin]

They still need help, Grayson. Without us they would have been killed several times over.

[And though he might not say so out loud, Damian at least likes Commissioner Gordon. Though "grudgingly respects" might be a better way of phrasing it.]

[the_flying_grayson]

Fine, fine, I copy you loud and clear, Boy Wonder. [Dick practically groaned and rubbed at his face tiredly.]

You do realized your father would have kittens if he found out I took you traipsing into a murder investigation meme, right?

[therealrobin]

Don't be ridiculous. Father is physically incapable of having kittens, no matter what the circumstances. [ If he were going to have anything, Damian thinks, it would be puppies. Although he wouldn't mind another cow. He worries sometimes that Batcow gets lonely. ]

Besides, no matter what Father may think, I am a vigilante who is who is more than capable of handling a murder investigation. I've done it already while he's been out of town. He said you used to do it.

So what do you say, Grayson? A case for old times' sake?
