[ The (17 year old) blonde on screen is obviously very recently clean and fed, but looks exhausted. A deep rooted sort of exhausted that comes from not getting enough sleep for around about a month or so. ]Okay, city. Which one of you fine folks wants to buy me coffee? It's been four months since I've had a decent cup and I am totally

Hey, I fit that description.

[selfmadehero]

[ She bites her lip, quelling the urge to shift her weight awkwardly. ]

So, uh. You wanna get some coffee after all?

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

[Pausing, not sure. Hnngh. He owes her coffee at least right? Get her pregnant, buy her coffee, totally equal there.]

Yeah. That's probably a good idea.

[What is this being social thing.]

Re: dat action;

[selfmadehero]

[ She scuffs a shoe before moving. ]

Somebody told me about a place, first cup is free. I was gonna check it out anyway.

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

[Free is good. Free is very good. Free is so many levels of good Jason can't even describe them right now. Free, with a child on the way, is going to be essential. He walks beside her, but a good arm's length away. This is not what he expected. Not in any way.]

Sure. Free coffee is good.

[selfmadehero]

[ She watches him from the corner of her eye, trying to figure out what's going through his head. Whether she should really do this or not. He can't possibly be that dangerous, can he? ]

Well, this has been an eventful first day in the city.

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

[Jason glances over at her, still far too stunned to really make anything other than awkward small talk. He shrugs.]

Eventful's a good word for it.

Re: dat action;

[selfmadehero]

[ She'd only meant to get back at him for something he did on the island, but while she has the opportunity, she may as well get as much info as possible. ]

So any idea how we're going to get home?

[ A beat... ]

You know, what with the baby and the monsters and all.

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

[For once, Jason wishes he had better news for her and that in itself is odd for him. Not that he has a hard-on for delivering bad news, but he does love getting reactions out of people.]

I've been here for almost three months, there's no going home unless by luck.

[Although, he hasn't tested trying to swim yet. That's going to be next on the docket after, well, figuring out just what he's going to do about this baby thing. There is the possibility that she's lying and all he'd need is some kind of blood test to prove it. But, the thought of that just makes him literally stop in his tracks for a second. Bruce had said that he performed a blood test on Damian to make sure, and knowing Bruce that likely meant multiple. And the kid is a complete prick, he knows who he belongs to.

Does he really want to be like Bruce? After all, Jason still has the kryptonite embedded in his side because he wants to prove his father wrong, despite the fact that sticking anything in his side is a bad idea.

Picking back up his gait,] I'll figure

Re: dat action;

[selfmadehero]

[ Wow, he's. Really serious about this. She picks up the pace a bit, trying to figure out how much she can find out from him before giving up the ruse. ]

Uh, what about the Core? I saw some mentions, but I couldn't really tell what any of it meant.

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

[Jason, fortunately or unfortunately, takes his own parenting issues very seriously. He looks over at her with a furrowed eyebrow. Well, he'll explain what he can, he owes her that.]

It brought us here, but it melted down years ago. It's faulty. You won't get sent back unless it makes another mistake.

[selfmadehero]

So there's no chance of anyone fixing it or something?

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

Not anytime soon.[He shrugs as they approach the coffee shop,]

Re: dat action;

[selfmadehero]

[ Well. That sucks. But she really should be using this golden opportunity to find out more about him. ]

You know, you never told me what happened after you... you know. [ Died. Supposedly. ]

Re: dat action; fucking notifs, man

[under_thehood]

[Jason pulls open the door and kind of half holds it open for her with his elbow. ]

I died? [Pause.] Lots of stuff.

Re: dat action; fuck notifs :|

[selfmadehero]

Uh huh. That's what you said last time I asked.

Thanks.

[ She, of course, heads straight for the counter and asks for a plain coffee, letting them know that Elaine sent her. ]
