[ Oh. He gets her meaning. The implications that might have if anyone knows the story, and despite himself, he feels his face color.

There's a brief impulse to offer to change his codename. Flamebird means something to her. Both due to her dead culture and a dead sibling. Nightwing is something Dick Grayson came up with God only knows how, and something he more or less stole when he made off with that costume and hid it away.

But it's still his. The last connection he has with Dick. One he's not willing to give up. At least not yet.]

If you want to use it, then use it. That name clearly means something to you.
I don't mind.

[ she would never ask him to give up nightwing. even without knowing all the baggage that comes with it, she knows it was dick's name. that using it has to mean something important to damian because of it. that's why she feels so awkward bringing this up. ]

are you sure?

[batricide]

I'm sure.
There's nothing saying that we have to be true to all detail of the origin of these names, just their legacy they have.

[crisised]

you're right

[ she didn't when she was teaming up with karen, after all. ]

thanks, d
it means a lot

[batricide]

There's no need to thank me.

[ But now is a good a time as any. ]

I'm considering forming an organization to help deal with the crime in the city.

[crisised]

so you want to remake the jla

[batricide]

No.
I want to make something better.

[crisised]

how so?

[batricide]

Well, for one, if a villain is capable of meticulously planning mass murder then they're going to a maximum security prison. Not a loony bin with more holes than cells.

[crisised]

good
i never understood why that happened

[batricide]

My father.
When we finally shut Arkham down he threw a fit the likes of which you have never seen.

[crisised]

your world's bruce sounds absolutely awful
if i ever meet him he's going to be quickly introduced to my fist in his face

[batricide]

There's a reason I prefer my mother. At least the only thing she ever hid from me was a sibling.
I'd pay to see that.

[crisised]

sibling?
no need. front row seats are yours if you want them

[batricide]

A sister. She's sixteen.
Gladly.

[crisised]

rough age
are you close?

[batricide]

We just met.
She's a vicious little shit with a massive ego. So no. We're too much alike to get along.

[crisised]

ha! at least you're self-aware

[batricide]

I just parrot what people tell me.

[crisised]

uh huh. sure. you just repeat things without thinking about them first

[batricide]

Gets me out of trouble.

[crisised]

sneaky

[batricide]

Thanks, I try.
