Jason Todd • DCnU

[ex_agoodsoldier468]

[demon_brat]

[Have you been Robin-stalked recently, Todd? Because you're getting Robin-stalked, now.]

[ex_agoodsoldier468]

[ Oh joy. This is just what he needs.

Jason was rather fond of his rooftop sojourn through the city, and his little stalker wasn't going to go unnoticed. Jason had no clue about who it was exactly; but he figure they'd make themselves obvious sooner or later. ]

[demon_brat]

[Maybe. MAYbe.]

[But only because the Robin outfit was not designed for long concealment. A wisp of the wind, and the yellow cape would catch a glint-off from the shell glow, muted as it was, now.]

[Not a sound, though.]

[ex_agoodsoldier468]

[ That glint didn't go unnoticed. He had seen something like it before, and it made him pause on a rooftop overlooking a small plaza. Jason's body was tense with the worry of what he was going to find. He refused to look back, for once in his life. Jason would not look back. ]

If you're thinking of beating me with a crowbar again, kid... [ A moment's hesitation. ] I'll toss you off this building. [ Not that it would do much. ]

[demon_brat]

[... what.]

If you're thinking about shooting me again, Red Hood, I might go looking for a crowbar.

[When in confusion, attack. That was how it worked, wasn't it?]

[ex_agoodsoldier468]

[ Eh?

That was enough to make him turn and find himself face to face with a ghost. As if he was one to talk. ]

What the hell is that supposed to mean? I never shot you. [ A finger pointed at the boy. ] Not that the thought hasn't tempted me.

[demon_brat]

[Robin made a face at him. He could show him the scar. He wasn't taking off his tunic and body armor right now, however.]

And the only person I've beaten with a crowbar since coming to Gotham - going to Gotham, I suppose - was the Joker. Not that it's not tempting, now that you mention it.

[He got the stupid shots in the spine because of Todd, after all.]

[Arms crossed, Damian glared from behind the mask.]

That probably means, in this place, that we come from different versions of reality. Alternate universes.

[Quite on purpose, Damian spoke slowly and articulately. As if to somebody slow.]

[ex_agoodsoldier468]

[ Red Hood stared, eyes narrowing under the confines of his helmet. Alternate universes? That was- different, to say the least. He guessed if he could be trained by an ancient group of assassin's living in a pocket-world in the Himalayas...

And it didn't go unnoticed that the brat was being purposely slow with him. ]

Great. So you're telling me there's some messed up reality out there where I've shot a kid. [ He'd like to call "bullshit," but this was Damian. Stuck up little brat that he was, he didn't think the kid had reasons to lie about that kind of a mess. ]

Guess that means back home... [ He had started to mutter, but then caught himself. ]

[demon_brat]

[Damian's hand moved over his chest. Where the shot had been. But he shrugged.]

You were trying to make Grayson do something. I am assuming--

[Paaause.]

... if he did not become Batman, how do you know me as Robin?

[stagethreeclinger]

[ There was one time in Roy's life in which he tried doing yoga, but he sucks at being bendy and he fell asleep on the mat either way, so Roy more developed the hobby of recreation napping in nice quiet places. A hobby he's been able to keep up with in Keeliai with the space near Tu Vishan's head being like zen central. Perfect non-yoga nap place.

So, when he blinks his eyes open from his nap and spots a pair of boots walking by that he's been kicked by plenty of times, that Roy does a weird kind of flail-spaz and grabs at said boots. ]

Jaybird! [ Hello welcome to Keeliai here is your complimentary zombie-Roy. ]

[ex_agoodsoldier468]

[ Ignoring Harper had actually almost become its own Zen-routine for Jason, if he were to be honest - maybe it's why he didn't notice the napping redhead as he walked on by. The feeling of those arms around his legs, though- it got him to stop and tense up. That voice- Jason did't look down.

He simply gritted his teeth and shut his eyes. Here he was looking to a moment's peace.

When his eyes opened once more, he was looking down to see one very special archer. ]

This must be halfway to hell, if we're somewhere between life and death.

[stagethreeclinger]

You say the sweetest things, Jay.

[ Said with a dorky grin because honestly, he is ecstatic to see him here. He'd felt so completely alone here, so out of place, and the outlaws had become like a family to him. No one knew him or he wasn't the version of him they were looking for and it had been one inferiority complex after the other.

Honestly, he'd needed Jason Todd or Kori to show up and slap him upside the head for weeks. Roy pushes himself up and adjusts his hat as he stands, grinning doltishly at his friend. ]

You will not believe the absolute Twilight Zone shit going on in this place, man.
