[ he'll!! allow it! partly because he's also just too damn tired to move right now. ] Comparable, but not quite.

[batricide]

Not in a fight.
The one I have now isn't the end product. That one is still being built.

[fledges]

You need to work on your compliments.

[batricide]

I've given you plenty of compliments. You're not mediocre, Kate. I don't say that lightly.

[ okay maybe not plenty, but. ]

But no one is on my level.

[deadthenred]

It'll probably take a while. For it all to fit right. [ Or feel right. ]

But like I said, the tech when I lost my arm was way different. Plus, I was really out of it. Not like you are.

[batricide]

The technology isn't the point.

[ he doesn't know how to explain other than that. losing an arm is still - losing an arm, even if you graft metal onto the stump. right? ]

Whatever. It doesn't matter.

[deadthenred]

You were asking about the prosthetics.

I can talk about the other stuff, too, but I didn't know that you wanted to. I was always awful at that, but I can try.

[overrate]

[ this sounds like something dick would say. what was that about senses and being able to operate without them?

yeah.

that stuff. anyway, he finally approaches him, pulling his hands out of his pockets, and his hoodie down. ]

Alright. Just saying, I gave you the option to say "not today."

[ he did the right thing. he pushed back that they didn't have to do this. if damian wanted to, who was he to stop him? ]

[batricide]

Yeah? Remember I gave you the same option.

[ if he's anything like jason, he'll put up a hell of a fight regardless. but what he remembers of jason at this age is all unrefined anger and brute strength, coming out at whatever it could.

could be this one is different. universes are like that. ]

[fledges]

[Kate rolls her eyes at that.]

Wow. Not mediocre. Be still my heart.

[lucubrare]

alright

do you need anything? want anything?

[overrate]

Sure. Fine.

[ forgive him for being skeptical about how this is gonna go. sure, if he's part of their family, he's as well trained as they come. and then some. but jason's been through a lot of the same training.

maybe not "hey deal with as much pain as possible" training.

but training. ]

Whatcha got?

[batricide]

[ its time to write a fight thread and it is in this moment that i remember i suck at writing fight threads. ]

Depends. How hard do you want you ass kicked? [ he's smirking. ] You said not to go easy. So are we going all out?

[ you have ONE ARM damian ]

[batricide]

No.
We're trained to endure a lot more than the simple loss of an arm.

[batricide]

[ her heart, huh. ]

You can best me in archery. I was trained by the world's greatest archers. [ look. a real compliment. ] That might mean you're better than the best.

Or, I've lost my touch.

[fledges]

Oh, that was almost a compliment. I'd count it if I didn't have to scold you to get it.

[batricide]

Are you keeping track now?

[fledges]

[She smiles wryly.]

Yep. I have a little journal and everything.

[batricide]

[ laughing, just a little. ]

I didn't know my approval meant so much to you.

[fledges]

I base all my self-worth on it.

[She stretches her leg out to bump his knee with her foot.]

It'd be nice if you were as vocal about the things you like as you are about the things you don't.

[lucubrare]

that wasn't what I was asking though

[batricide]

No. I don't need or want anything.

[lucubrare]

ok
let me know if that changes
I'm sorry you got hurt
I'm glad you're okay

[overrate]

You have one arm.

[ he's just going to point that out. like, maybe he could take it easy?

maybe not.

but still. ]

[batricide]

And I could kick your ass with none.

[ hes genetically incapable of it ]
