if ra's shows up we need a family gathering
so we can all line up and punch him

a lot.

[ Violence isn't the answer except when it is. ]

[hackingyoursensors]

same.

you know he's not going to know how to fight
being so small
because he can't fight the way he does at 30

you could be his teacher
bring it full circle.

[reneger]

only if you're 5'7 or taller

[hackingyoursensors]

wow.

rude

[reneger]

spar with me and win, and you can fight ra's

[hackingyoursensors]

i'd spar with you and win just for fun

[reneger]

yeah?
show me what you got, pipsqueak
no rules or limits, toys allowed

[overlyprecocious]

we can both do it

family project

[hackingyoursensors]

you're on.

[hackingyoursensors]

great idea

it'd be a good way to keep his mind off of stuff
and give him a head start if he gets antsy about his mission
he can't run around robin-sized but try to fight like batman

[reneger]

should we plan it, or are we allowing sneak attacks?

Re: text; private

[hackingyoursensors]

i can manage that.

any idea if/when this is going to wear off?

[forceforlight]

Send them to me later, then. And thanks.

[So proud of his big brother]

How much of a brat is he being so far?

[forceforlight]

Not too bad? Was sceptical of coming with me to start with because, and I quote, "You sleep on the couch." More because of three people being crammed in my apartment. Which is fair, but also this is hopefully going to be temporary.

Honestly, I'm not sure he knew how to be a brat at this age. Apparently the dark energy brought vision of his parents as zombies. He thinks that might have affected the age thing.

[forceforlight]

Nah, they can punch him. They're shorter, so it'll mostly be below the belt, that's all.

[robintohood]

[Jason frowns when he reads Dick's response]

It's possible. It's not even the first time people suddenly turned back into kids here. I got nailed by it last year, except I thought was still Robin

[forceforlight]

It's interesting that the body regressed in age but not his mind.

On the other hand, I don't think any of us would be able to really deal with a post-funeral Bruce.

[robintohood]

Yeah, no

NONE of us are equipped for that

[forceforlight]

God, I miss Alfred at times like this. Just...someone else to be the adult for a while.

[robintohood]

You want us to take turns then?

[forceforlight]

It's fine. It's probably not going to be for very long, after all. But I do think I'm going to up the 'looking for a larger space' thing. Just need to figure out what we need in terms of space.

[robintohood]

Bare minimum we're all gonna need our own bedrooms, a large kitchen, and at least a couple of bathrooms

Maybe something like what used to be a dorm?

Business should be up soon now that the Society isn't guarding the borders

[forceforlight]

Funnily enough, Bruce is refitting an old dorm in Excelsior. I saw it when Kyle called me to go look in on him. It's not a bad choice, really. And we could take out some non-load bearing walls to make the bedrooms bigger, if we wanted to. And we're in Tornado Alley, so basements are almost a given.

[robintohood]

Are we really a BatFamily if we didn't have a ridiculous basement?

Oh, we're gonna need a big garage too
