[ what is this, his first day at school? it's... terribly nostalgic. dick needling him about befriending some of the younger heroes, or hanging around his friends, just trying to broaden damian's tiny social circle into something bigger. ]
Knock yourself out. Kate Bishop, Daisy Johnson, Rey, and Stephen Strange tolerate me the most.
[ he doesn't need damian to be the center of attention. he should have just enough friends to keep him safe. or strong. or on the path. whatever he needs. ]
All right. [ surprisingly painless. he just doesn't want to press on the wound of his loss. ]
There's just J here from my universe. I've found a lot's different so far.
You didn't answer my question. [ he's not going to push it. but he would like damian to know he can't sweep that under the rug.
he frowns. damian had said he and his bruce didn't get along. he hadn't elaborated on what that meant.
dick isn't blind to bruce's faults. they fight like cats when they do. nobody says sorry. a bigger mess comes along that they agree is more important than whatever they disagreed on.
he'd left without saying anything. he'd thought his darkness was because of bruce. but he knows better now. ]
I can only tell you about my father. What's yours like?
[ he's thinking that he shouldn't see him until he knows what to say. and he definitely doesn't know what to say when dick refers to him by that nickname. it's not the one he's accustomed to - the little d to dick's big, but he's not little any more. ]
Fine. It makes my job easier, actually. We were down a super.

He snapped my forearm just before I arrived here, though.
wtf
Date: 2020-01-21 02:31 am (UTC)he can't see any reason for this. bruce has never hit him. let alone broken his bones. ]
That doesn't sound like the B I know. I'm sorry.
