[BBS]

Is there any fucking point in getting attached to people in this place if they are going to leave sooner or latter? I'm not complaining or anything. Just wondering why do we keep on doing it.

I guess it'd be kind of difficult, living in this place without contact from anybody. Specially if you teach. I mean, I am not a robot. But sometimes I wonder if it'd be easier to go around like that.

Anyway, this pointless rant has been brought to you by one Jason Peter Todd.

Jay Out.

[BBS, Private to Tom Bronson]

Drinks tonight?

It's on me.

[Have an ex-Robin peeking over your shoulder]

Whazzat?

[Tom grins, glancing over his shoulder and holding the dataset up.]

Work from Intel. It's mostly done, but I've got this last distribution to analyze.

Dude, you don't bring your work to drink with a friend.

That's like, the epitome of the not-coolness.

[He snorts, going ahead and stuffing the work in his pockets.]

Oh? That's saying I was cool in the first place, you know.

Hey, I only make friends with the coolest guys. It makes you automatically cool.

But you know what makes you cooler? Drinking.

How could I forget? [He grins wryly as they head inside.]

... But seriously, was it one of those nights, man?

[He makes a face when Tom asks and just… shrugs.]

Kind of. …Did I tell you about the Russian girl?

Edited 2011-11-23 20:56 (UTC)

Once, I think. [He's pretty sure he knows where this is going now, but it doesn't hurt to double-check.] Let me guess... turns out she's from our world, right?

My sidekick apparently. Like, what the fuck ever?

And now she's gone. Just like that.

[Wait a sec---]

Your sidekick? I'm gonna have to agree, man. I didn't think you were the kind to take on one of those, especially since you're not a meta or a Lantern.

That's discrimination. And if Batman has a Robin, why can't I get a sidekick of my own I guess?

Plus: Russian hottie and wasn't she a sight for the sore eyes.

Yeah, if you're into jailbait. [He snorts, taking a seat on one of the barstools and ordering a round of beer.] But fine, fine, I'm the bad guy for thinking you couldn't ever take on your very own sidekick.

... [He bites his lip.]

But if you have one, that means you've got way more experience in the field than me.

Excuse you she was was like, 18.

[16 actually, but Jason doesn't know that. He shrugs, looking at his glass.] Maybe I do. That doesn't really matter here though, does it?

Guess not.

[It's not obvious, but Jason can easily tell that knowledge bothers Tom.] It just feels like forever since back home... kind of weird to be thinking about it now. [He takes a sip.]

But go figure, TC wants to be a hardass this time of year.

What's worse is that I could have went on with my life without knowing about her.

I came from an earlier point in my life or whatever. So just- this whole- shit... arg [He growls and runs a hand though his hair] Tell me you have a cigarette around.

[He effortlessly slides over a pack and a lighter.] The better question would be, when would I not have one?

But... yeah, I get you. Hasn't happened to me yet but then again, I've been the only JSA person here since this whole Compression nonsense started.

I've had all my family around except for Daddy Dearest.

[He reaches for the cigarette and slides his own beer to Tom so he can finish it, ordering another.] I'm okay with that.

[Aw yeah more beer! Tom grins, happily finishing his own mug.]

I'd still trade families with you. Though I'm not sure if you'd really want Pops as a dad.

[He snorts]

I dunno, did 'Pops' ever spend all your childhood reminding you about how better your big bro was in every single little thing?

[Immediately downing the rest of his beer.]

Pops didn't know I existed. Kind of hard to compare me to a non-existent kid---and really, comparing you to Dick?

Wasn't he the genius who believed that you removed the word gullible from the dictionary?

[He almost chokes with his own beer laughing]

Yeah but Dick has... he's way more than what you see at first sight.

You sure? I'm half-wondering if all those acrobatics didn't get to him.

[He's teasing, but it's half-genuine. Tom doesn't know just how Dick managed to graduate and teach.]

Trust me, I'm sure.

[He sips from the beer]

But you're free to call him idiot to his face. You can even tell him it was my idea.

I'll keep that in mind.

[There's a moment of silence before Tom stares down at his hands, as if expecting them to transform:] Speaking of idiots... some Cadet almost shot me last week. You'd think I'd be used to it by now.

Really? [He looks at him] But you're ok right?
