I...I got taken away from the Hub... I was back in the world I came from. [His skin and clothes are filthy like he's been sleeping rough for days] I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to find my way back. [He clings to his brother, so tight]
Ahh, so sorry for the delay ><redbirdonglassAugust 2 2011, 05:38:42 UTC
[nods and wipes his eyes gently] Yes, we can go home, get you cleaned up and some fresh clothes... I'll make you something warm to eat, okay? You're home now... [keeps his arms wrapped around Tamas and heads towards home, thankful enough that the Hub's bending to make it close, though he hadn't been far away anyway.]
No problems. You okay, love? god_in_greenAugust 2 2011, 05:47:43 UTC
[Tamas clings close, reluctant to give up any form of contact.] Thank you, Tim. I...I got so scared, so lost. Gotham...my Gotham it's not a safe place any more. I..I didn't know if I'd be able to find my way home.
<3 I'm all right, just a little frazzled, life is being life-like?redbirdonglassAugust 2 2011, 05:55:12 UTC
[will stay with him as they head in and find some clean clothes, continuing to gently pet his hair] I'm sorry.... I'm so sorry you had to go back there. I promise to look into some sort of anchoring... there has to be a way to prevent this in the future... Y-you're home now, and we'll find a way to make sure you stay safe, okay?
Yell if you need someone to talk to, love. god_in_greenAugust 2 2011, 06:06:24 UTC
[Tamas give a little smile, hugging Tim tightly] As long as you use it too. Couldn't bear the thought of you getting lost either.
[He gets changed and cleaned up, wondering out to the kitchen. He steals a hug from Tim before sitting down at the table, his eyes distance and quiet.]
<3 Thank you, the same offer applies in return.redbirdonglassAugust 2 2011, 06:12:48 UTC
[shudders a little and nods] Yes... we'll, we'll figure something out
[as he sets about preparing food, he makes a point to come back and make contact with Tamas every now and then, brushing a hand over his arm, through his hair, asking his opinion or preference on the food. A reminder that he's here, and Tamas' is home. He finally sets the meal in front of Tamas and settles down beside him] Would you like to talk about what happened there?
Thanks love.god_in_greenAugust 2 2011, 06:39:01 UTC
[Tamas smiles, warmed by the contact and affection, even as he rests his head on his folded hands. So tired.]
I tried to find people I use to know but everyone's gone. I couldn't find anywhere safe to hide so I kept running. I couldn't... I'm just not clever enough to live on the street. Everywhere I found, someone else found too. There were so many homeless people and gangs and drugs and violence... it was just horrible to see his city go back to that. And it's all my fault. [The last part comes out as a little sob]
[very softly, cupping Tamas' hand in his] Tamas... It is not your fault how people behave. It's not your fault what Poison Ivy did to you, what Pan made you do, or what anyone else chose to do afterward. You cannot be responsible for what other people have done. I'm sorry it was so bad when you went back, but... it is not on you. Everyone is responsible for themselves, okay?
[Tamas give him a sad little look, appreciation what Tim is saying but not believing a word of it. He hugs Tim tightly, burying his face in his brother's shirt to hide the tears.]
[sighs weakly and brushes his fingers through Tamas' hair, careful of tangles and rocking hims slightly]
[he hesitates a moment, before speaking again... not fully sure of himself, and it's apparent in the slightly faltering tone of his voice] Do you believe that I... l-love Bruce?
[nods slowly] That's one of the things he did to me. He would make me love him. [keeps a hand on Tamas', shaking slightly but focusing on keeping his voice steady] Am I responsible for that? For how I behaved at those times?
No. [Tamas bits his lip, not meaning to raise his voice.] No, Tim. I felt him in your mind during the fight. He controlled you like Pan controlled me. It's not your fault.
[He lowers his eyes, realising what Tim is trying to tell him.] I understand what you mean but... even though I don't always remember being Robin, I know I was. And if Robin had been smarter or faster, Ivy would never have caught him and none of this would have happened.
