Steph v. Tim at the_devils_see, only not game canon

[ichoosefight]

Yes, yes, we all know you and I are in the right here. But seriously, all these arguments are giving me a headache and we're not even getting anywhere because you roll over laughing before I get to make my actual point.

I mean come on. Everyone knows that War Games wasn't really my fault and Tim's just a jerk. You don't really have to prove it.

And please stop joking about traumatizing Babs with our domestic disputes. The poor kid has enough problems as it is.

Hey!

I'm the one who wants to kick Tim out.

[robinred]

"Kid"? She's my age.

[ichoosefight]

Not yet you aren't. Our unresolved sexual tension is so not going to escalate that much.

[ichoosefight]

With maybe a quarter of your training.

And besides, you're a kid too.

[acro_bat_ic]

Hello? It's starting to give me nightmares. And I've never even flirted!

[robinred]

Which is why she should stick to training before she starts patrolling. [It's like somebody didn't learn their lesson the first time around. Also what is selective hearing.]

[ichoosefight]

Hey, you can't blame me for that. We're not even arguing in game.

[ichoosefight]

Probably. [ Yes she did, shut up. ] But you know she's just like me. If I try to tell her she can't do a thing she's just going to do it anyway, and then I won't be out there with her when she gets in trouble.

[acro_bat_ic]

And yet? I can still hear you.

[ichoosefight]

Sorry, sorry. I'm trying to get the mun to reign it in.

[robinred]

[It's like this conversation has been swimming in his head in repeat for ages now. And, whaddaya know, nothing ever gets resolved. What's the point in going back to the same old track?]

One of these days you'll stop demonizing me for just wanting to keep you out of harm's way.

[ichoosefight]

[ That's probably because it has. ]

One of these days you'll accept your portion of the blame and sleep better at night. I'd be happy enough if we just agreed to disagree on methods and stopped trying to place that blame.

Things have been shitty. None of this fighting is going to change that. It's only going to make things worse.

[deciphering]

Trouble in paradise, kid?

[ichoosefight]

When paradise is full of deadly monsters? Always. Still working on slaughtering those ahool for you.

[deciphering]

By the time you manage that, I'll be out of biscotti.

I mean, if you want to admit that you're out of your league, I might break a piece in half and give it to you as a consolation prize. I can be sporting too, you know.

[ichoosefight]

I'm so many miles out of my league that I'm actually on an abandoned island that isn't supposed to exist. But I can totally take down a giant flying gorilla. I just haven't had much reason to.

[acro_bat_ic]

I think it's educational, anyway.

[ichoosefight]

Oh yeah? I bet you're learning lots about how a relationship shouldn't look.

[acro_bat_ic]

And about not dating batfam. [You're the exception, faux-girlfriend.]
