[ 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.

[Jason doesn't go get coffee, as it's not really his thing, so he just sits down at one of the tables, posture casual and relaxed despite the fact that his mind is starting to pick back up, think, and plan. To start, he won't tell Bruce or any of the member of the family, not yet; he doesn't need Bruce harping at him about more things.

And Clark? Well mayb--- no, no one is going to know. Clark would tell Bruce or be obnoxious about it. God, sometimes he has no idea how to deal with the big bat momma.]

[ She joins him once her coffee's ready. ]

Well?

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

[Jason raises an eyebrow and her, shrugs, and puts one palm down on the table. He'd really rather not talk about it, especially with Bruce breathing down his neck for information as it is.]

Stuff.

Re: dat action;

[selfmadehero]

[ Stephanie huffs. So much for getting any info out of this prank. ]

So when should I expect you to steal my dna? Y'know. For tests.

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

[That makes Jason huff. He's not Bruce. He's never been Bruce. He's better than Bruce and that means he's also going to be a better dad than Bruce, dammit.]

I'm not.

Re: dat action;

[selfmadehero]

[ That. Stops her in her tracks. ]

I can pretend to be surprised, if it helps.

[ He's really just going to take her at her word? That it's even his? From the impression she got from Cass, she hadn't expected him to be so... great about this sort of thing. A girl he didn't even know. They've barely even spoken. And he's ready to drop everything and take responsibility for something another version of himself didn't even do.

She actually feels really bad about this now. ]

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

[It's not so much the fact that it's a girl he's never met before but more of the fact that he's met and known too many kids who didn't know who their fathers were, or single moms who lived in Crime Alley. Hell, he doesn't trust Steph in any way, but that's one line that Jason will never ever cross. And she's a Robin, so he's got something he can and will prove to Bruce, regardless.]

It doesn't.

[He's still just trying to feel something other than a disconnected shock.]

Re: dat action;

[selfmadehero]

I. Uh. [ Shit. She really does feel bad about this. It's not funny anymore. ]

Jason, there's something I should tell you.

[ The Truth. Just the thought of being honest is kind of chilling. Maybe she should lie a little bit just to make it easier. ]

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

[Oh there's a bad feeling in his gut and his gaze darkens minutely, just enough to show. He doesn't know what's up, but whatever it is isn't good in any way.]

We're having story hour already, go ahead.

Re: dat action;

[selfmadehero]

Okay. Well. [ She downs the rest of her coffee in one go, effectively killing at least half of her tastebuds. And then a deep breath. Story mode is fast mode. ]

When we first met you told me you hated all Robins and you had a knife and probably guns too and you said you were probably going to kill me and I should run away so I did, and ha ha ha you didn't even chase after me but I still crashed through a shody roof and that hurt, okay? And it was a dumb prank to pull in the first place so I thought maybe I could get back at you for it but you're a really nice guy and don't let anyone tell you otherwise because trust me, I know from experience that most guys in Gotham wouldn't think twice about turning the other cheek and just walking away no matter how pregnant you got a girl, and I bet you at least half would come back to chat you up afterwards, once it was safe, and maybe I have some hangups about it but I'm sorry and I need to go before you process any of this and get out the knives again.

[ And with that last sentence she's on

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

[Jason catches most of that, especially the word prank. Prank. Oh, oh fuck you Steph.

Well, not literally.

She's on her feet and at the door before he's angrily getting to his feet as well. What kind of shit was that? A prank? That was a prank? Oh. Oh she's so dead.

Again, not literally. He's not even caring about the people he just shoves out of the way on his beeline to the door to follow her. What is it with people just wanting to fuck with him/]

Re: dat action;

[selfmadehero]

[ By the time she's out the door she hits a run. Not sure where to go, just anywhere but here.

The only person who's ever trusted her so sincerely, so willingly, and he was probably about to knife her in the back. Or the stomach. That would be some real irony.

Why couldn't he have been more like Dean? It would've been easier, funnier, if he'd been more like Dean. ]

Re: dat action;

[under_thehood]

[She's out of his sight by the time he finally gets past all the newly angry people, but he still takes a very angry look around, his teeth clenched tight. Shit.

Well awesome, another reason not to trust people.

But he does have the urge to talk to Bruce. Fuck. Fuck.]
