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.

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?

Oh, yeah. [He grins, flexing his arm muscles.] By now, it's almost routine.

[... it really SHOULDN'T be, Tommy.] Most of 'em still haven't seen a werepanther before Garden.

I'd be lying if I said I had, myself. Still, shooting you seems a little... extreme.

Not if they think I'm one of the monsters. [By now, he's more amused than insulted.

Still, he's kind of glad this is distracting Jay, so...] You should've seen your kid brother. [He actually means Razem, not that he knows the difference when they're in costume.] He practically tried to behead me.

My kid bro? You mean Dam? Yeah... I like him actually. He could do great things if he took the stick out of his ass.
