[Transmission 30] [VOICE] Dog Days of Summer
[When the feed turns on, the growling and VICIOUS BARKING of a possibly familiar batdog is audible in the background.]
[Before speaking up, Heero mutters, apparently to the dog.]
Knock it off.
One of you Bats- I don't care which one- [Which is totally code for NOT BRUCE BECAUSE WE ARE STILL IN A FIGHT]Come pick up your dog. He's making a ruckus ( Read more... )

Bet you weren't expecting this really short kid with black hair and wearing sunglasses approaching you in a hoodie and jeans. Or maybe you were. But whatever.] I'm here to pick up Ace or something.

Your problem is what he does? You mean protecting people from stopping some badguy from taking out the sun? Stopping an entire project building living weapons? Cloning people from DNA without their knowledge? [Oh wait, the latter two are what he and his team did. Not Batman] Uhm, if you have problems with that, then I guess that's cool? I mean, our world would be kinda nonexistent without that being stopped, but cool.

[He glances back at the spiel, though.] ..Taking out the sun. Right.
I guess you need a nutjob to take out a nutjob. [(He MIGHT be speaking from experience. maybe.]
[Goes to make some coffee. This is going to be a loooong night] Although, I have to say these threats aren't the most outlandish concepts. Cloning is certainly a thoroughly-researched science, and human enhancement isn't unknown either. Combined, it's clear how it's a threat to public safety, of course, but don't goverments in your world have anti-terrorism forces to take care of that?

You don't have to believe me. I wasn't there to watch them stop it, but if Superman is going to help stop someone from taking out the sun, I assume they're stopping a guy from taking out the sun.
Not necessarily. You just got to be kind of nuts to work with super powered people and still be one of the best out of them.
[Robin has shit to do man.] I don't think a government with only normal forces is going to stop creatures that can generate an entire power source to keep an underground lab to function at full capacity while being off the map is something that they usually find in their jurisdiction. Or stopping creatures that can probably crush them in the palm of their hands, but that's just me.
Sometimes the government needs an extra hand in dealing with people who have far more power then a normal human possesses.

[this is bullshit YOUR WORLD IS BULLSHIT] Then they ought to create a taskforce to handle such crises, if this is a common thing in your world.
Which, by the way, still doesn't excuse my actual problem with him, which is his use of children as tools in this fight against superpowered criminals or otherwise and his behavior towards your fates when something goes wrong.

And we aren't usually tasked to do missions like those. And I don't know what you mean about that. He intervened on one of our missions after the team was nearly wiped out. [So...this Batman is a lot more fatherly then Old Man Bruce is. Weird huh.] He didn't even want us to do these missions in the first place. We forced our way up the ladder and pushed to be allowed to work without our mentors holding our hands.

So he wants his cake and to eat it too, huh? Figures.
[Drains coffee] Enticing a child into that sort of life, then putting a leash on them to boot. The damage has been done by then; he should be able to realize that much. It's no wonder you'd be chomping at the bit to do more. He taught you to.

You'd want to eat your cake if it was yours. [Being literal. HURRHURR.]
You sound like a broken record constantly. Like seriously. [Considering that Dick spent his child doing flips hundreds of feet in the air with no safety net. This wasn't too much different.] Are you going to stop stalking me? I want to actually go do things without being watched.

[Another STOP SAYING THINGS look]
In all honesty, no. Not until I've ascertained your skill level, at least.

Gives you an innocent smile.]
I'm thirteen. You got an imagination and a brain. Not hard to figure out.

[Eyebrow but GOOD GET OUT OF MY ROOM] Imagination does little in way of factual evidence, I'm afraid. But knowing a future you, you're right, it isn't going to be too difficult.

[You're going to hate him so much.] So are you done bothering me? Good. [LEAVING.] By Bats. [>:)]
