On flirting and puberty.


Damian: Gross, flirting.

Steph: I'm happy to hear you say that.

Damian: Why?

Steph: Because you're too young to flirt.

Damian: Why would anyone my age want to? As far as I'm concerned you all get weird when you get older.

Steph: ... this is true. I agree, for once.

Damian: None of you seem capable of focusing the moment someone of the opposite sex comes into your periphery.

Steph: The Cupid thing doesn't count. That was magic or... something. I'm all about the Batgirl thing.

Damian: Dick's IQ drops by thirty points if he's fighting a woman. Fifty, if she's a redhead.

Steph: Maybe it's... biology? Some guys are just like that.

Damian: [Unimpressed.]

Steph: Who knows, maybe you'll be like that one day...

Damian: Never.

Steph: How do you know?

Damian: I refuse.

Steph: Sometimes you can't help it.

Damian: Why not?

Steph: Because. Things change! Suddenly you start seeing girls in a different light. What once was gross and icky is now... fascinating. Just wait til you hit puberty. [Will pray for Dick.]

Damian: That sounds highly unrealistic. Physical changes aren't going to change my personality. You'll all still annoy me.

Steph: Ask Dick. Seriously.

Damian: Why can't you explain it?

Steph: Because! It's not something you should hear from a girl. Dick can tell you.

Damian: [Deadpan look.] What?

Steph: I'm not telling you. It's too... awkward.

Damian: Why is it awkward?

Steph: Because puberty and girls are awkward! I'm not going to talk about voice changing and other things. It's just. No. That's Dick's territory. I wouldn't want to take that... honor away from him.

Damian: It just makes you sound like a coward.

Steph: No. It's me saving myself from a really weird situation. Saving you, too.

Damian: It can't be that bad.

Steph: You don't want to hear it from me.

Damian: Well, if I find out and it's not bad at all, I'm going to know you're a coward.

Steph: If you find out and it IS, just imagine me telling it to you. And then you can thank me. I'll settle for flowers and a nice note.

Damian: Maybe a note.

Steph: I guess that'll do.
