If you keep picking at it, it's not gonna heal.

That's okay. You like me like that. You'll keep me in this cycle until I die, and then when I do, I'll just get up again and keep going.

Which is fine with me. I have things to do.

Because telling Dick to 'fuck off' has always worked wonders.

Well, you know that of the two of us, I'm not the one who's an expert on how Dick thinks. I just didn't have the commitment to stalking that you did.

So you're saying I should have, what? Used reverse psychology? You're saying by being honest and straightforward, I actually enticed Dick to stay and risk dismemberment? Fascinating. But thank god you're here now. Because if anyone could stop me, it's surely you, Timothy Jackson Drake.

You're welcome. And yes, I could indeed stop you.

So stop talking to him.

[Does a double take. Hey, it's another Robin. At first glance he thinks it might be an older version of him but upon further inspection, he notices some significant differences.]

My life sounds like it gets really complicated, really fast when I'm older.

You have no idea, kid.

Lucky me. [Sighs.]

You won't be alone though. And not everybody is like Jason here.

It will be alright.

I've already met Batgirl, she's pretty awesome. She showed me her gooparang.

Yeah, I hear Damian is a great experience.

Good luck with that, bro.

Why do I get the feeling that he's the "grumpy Robin" someone told me about?

Yes, you've done so well with that in the past.

I don't know, maybe I'm starting to warm up to him. Maybe what I really need is a healing hug. You know it doesn't really count if you die here. So what does it matter? Poor Dick. Everybody dies all around him. He should get a chance to try it himself.

If you put a finger on him, I swear...

You're too honest to complete that threat. And too stupid to understand I don't give a fuck about Dick like that, and never have. Sure, it's aggravating to see his big dumb face here all not recognizing me and shit, but it's not him you should be worrying about, replacement.

Don't call me that.

Is that a threat?

Please, I don't have to threaten you. We both know how outmatched you are right now. But actually, unless he were here, I'd probably just maim you. No more martyrs for his moral altar. Just more wounded little soldiers.

You'd be brave. I know you would. You would probably find a way to be Robin even if you didn't have a hand or an eye or whatever. And I admire that, Tim, I really do. I'm just trying to help. I'd set you apart. You wouldn't be the replacement after that, see.

That's what pisses you off, isn't it? That I did manage to set myself apart, to make Robin my own instead of following my predecessor's steps.

No, honestly it's really just that you exist. And even then it's about him and not you.

But you're a much easier target.

Come after me then. I don't care- I can handle you.

[Don't touch your neck don't touch your neck don't touch your-]

Even this Dick could handle you. But I'll make sure he doesn't have to.

It doesn't even matter here, Tim. It's funny how you don't understand that.

You'll just have to wait.
