Case o6 [Action, Front Gates]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[Ever since classes resumed, Damian'd kept a low profile. He "barely passed" his fighting courses from last quarter, so he figured he should probably step up his game and figure out how to fail-without-actually-failing.

This was significantly harder than it looked: on one hand, he couldn't look like an absolute moron. Luki'd been giving him "lessons" and he'd passed the required courses with "some difficulty." But he couldn't look like a trained vigilante either; then people'd connect the dots between him and Robin. If Mr. Wayne'd taught him anything, it was to be an idiot whenever possible. Robin mattered more than Damian Razem. (Not that he believed it! But why jeopardize the mission?)

Except right now, there was a "fire." Damian'd admittedly been late getting to class - stupid Garden and its primitive tech! He'd somehow managed to trip over something in the meantime! - but he too had been coerced to walk to the front gates. As he leaned against a wall, Damian folded his arms and watched the chaos around him.]

Slag... five creds it's a drill. [SIGH. Of all the things he didn't miss about school, fire drills'd been pretty high on that list.]

[blinkblink] Oohkay. What can a firebender do, then?

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

Create and control fire.

... That would make you a meta in my world. [beat] Wait. Are you and Aang from the same place?

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

Aang? Yeah, we are.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Huh. ... He called himself a "bender" too.

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

He's the Avatar, although I don't expect you to understand if you're not from our world. But he can bend all the elements, not just air.

I know. [sounds a little defensive] Just 'cause he's your world's Superman doesn't mean he's not a schway kid too.

[Stares at him like he just spoke an entirely different language. And he kind of did.]

Uh. A what?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

... Right. Superman's basically this guy who has pretty much every superpower imaginable, like flight and super-speed and super-strength and x-ray vision. I'm just saying that just 'cause Aang's your world's most capable "bender" or whatever doesn't mean he's not a good kid.

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

I didn't say he was bad.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

.... Well. Whatever.

How do you know him, anyways?

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

... Right.
