[torchbearer]

You got me on the how.

He's in Excelsior. He's okay. But I figured you were the best man for the job.

[hackingyoursensors]

And since Bruce Wayne wouldn't have any power or influence here the way he does in Gotham, there's no reason for him to try. [ Dick sighs again as he bites into his sandwich. ]

[forceforlight]

It's probably all the weirdness brought on by the Shining God, combined with whatever Chaos Gate's proclamation caused.

Okay. I'll check the trackers and go get him. I know it's B, but he really shouldn't be on his own if he's kid-sized.

[IS he actually the right person for the job? Unknown. But he can do his best.]

[torchbearer]

Everything else seems intact. Just more kiddish and . . . open?

[forceforlight]

[Dick picks up his burger, taking a bite to give himself a chance to think while he chews.]

He has about eight reasons now, though he doesn't quite see it that way. Which means we're just going to have to gently encourage him into interacting with people. [A pause.] I'd say 'again', but I have no idea if this one ever did much interact with people other than Alfred.

[forceforlight]

Well, that's different. Thanks for letting me know, GL. I'll let you know later when I've gotten him back.

[torchbearer]

Sure. If you need anything, let me know.

[Nananananananana, Bat Chat!] [Minus Bruce, of course]

[forceforlight]

[The text doesn't come with an explanation. Just a picture of a kid in Dick's apartment, petting Haley.]

[It's just that they'll all KNOW that kid. They've all seen pictures of that kid, either at stately Wayne Manor or, in the case of the younger Dick and the Jasons, in the tabloids, implying something salacious about Bruce Wayne taking in kids that he doesn't have to.]

[At least they have a quiet place to all have a crisis about it.]

text; private

[hackingyoursensors]

do you need help w anything?

Re: text; private

[forceforlight]

At the moment, I think I'm all right. Though you're welcome to come over and help keep Bruce occupied. Anything to keep him from thinking about home too much.

He remembers everything. It's all...just in a ten year old body.

[robintohood]

[Oh.... Oh, this is... an event. It takes several long minutes before Jason texts back]

Are his memories still there or we gonna have to REALLY dance around some shit whenever he's nearby?

[forceforlight]

He remembers everything. Which is, you know. Whatever it is when you cram the memories of a thirty-year-old into the body of a ten-year-old.

[reneger]

he's so tiny

[forceforlight]

He really is. Logically, I know that ten-year-olds are small. I'm just...more used to Damian who has enough attitude that he SEEMS bigger, I guess.

[reneger]

he looks like he's about the same size as damian was last time i saw him back home
but yeah, damian's attitude is big enough to rival even full-grown bruce

[forceforlight]

Makes sense that they'd be about the same size. Though Damian has more muscle, I think. This is Bruce before he started training.

[reneger]

damian's had more muscle since the day he was born

[forceforlight]

Honestly, with what I know of R'as's involvement? Does not surprise me.

[robintohood]

Small mercies I guess. How fucking jarring is it so far?

[forceforlight]

So jarring. So very, very jarring. The only thing keeping it from being worse is the fact that he mostly talks like he's thirty.

[robintohood]

But with a 10-year-old's voice

I guess that's one way to take a break from patrol

[forceforlight]

The younger Dick is coming over. Tim's here. They can keep him occupied while I patrol.

[Read: find some thugs doing something they shouldn't and work out some aggression.]

[robintohood]

[Jason knows exactly what Dick means]

I may or may not know some spots that need a little extra help

[reneger]

i was joking
but he probably did now that i'm thinking about it

[overlyprecocious]

I have seniority AND I'm older now
