I know it's kind of ridiculous to try to look for a point to any of this? But I still think it if we were going to be able to be contacted by people not on the Barge, it would have been more handy to let us pick who we could contact. And when to contact them in the timeline.

I hate time travel.

[Private to Costigan]

I saw you talking with Sullivan. How are you doing?

[Private to Hayley]

So, I met your Harvey.

[Private to Bruce; added a little later]

You told Crane?

[Tim falls into step behind him, then next to him, silent for a few moments.]

Am I the same was I was, when I first walked into Wayne Manor?

[Is this a trick question? Dick is just going to be quiet for a beat, looking at him a little suspiciously. Where are you going with this, Tim.]

No.

[TOTALLY A TRICK QUESTION. BWAHAHAH, YOU HAVE FALLEN INTO THE TRAP. :|]

So I changed as I grew up.

[GDI WHY DO I KEEP YOU AROUND. :|]

So, what's that got to do with this? Last time I checked, you didn't have me from the future saying "hey Tim, you're going to grow up to be like this, just so you know" to let you know that things were going to be different.

[Because your other little brothers suck? :|a]

Do you really need me from your future telling you that you're going to change over the next couple years? Wally had a ten year difference while he was here. That's not weird, or traumatic, that's life. It changes.

[sob so true never change, Tim :| Dick's about to pull out his right hand to run it through his hair, but at the last second remembers it's still bruised and swollen and switches to his left.]

Doesn't mean I have to be excited about it. [Why yes, he is stubborn.]

[They all are. :| And Tim notices that switcheroo.] I wouldn't be. But it's normal, Dick, and it isn't all bad, and if I'm saying that, you know it has to be true. What's up with your hand?

[He really wants to just trust him, but considering he had that trust kind of stomped all over by another member of their awesome family, he's a little more hesitant then usual. Still, this is Tim, not Bruce, and he finally relaxes a little and actually tells the truth.] Oh. I broke it. Seven used a bone healer on it, so I think it's okay, it's just sore.

See? [He holds it up for inspection, and while it's still swollen and bruised, with a split over the middle knuckle that's been bandaged, it's seriously not actually broken.]

[Tim stops and leans over to inspect the hand and....that looks pretty good for having been recently broken.] Jeez. Were you punching a wall?

Just once. [Which means he hit it pretty fucking hard. :|]

Ouch. [He doesn't chastise, because...he's done dumb shit like that too.] Thank God for the Doctor.

Tell me about it. [He carefully flexes his fingers, winces and tucks it away again, shrugging.] I've been icing it. Might even be nice to get some practice in on left handed stuff for a while.

[He is - however - not taking painkillers because lol, last time that happened guess who got his hands on them. >>]

[...Good call, Dick. Painful, but good.] So long as you don't try to practice with both before it's healed.

[This is why we can't have nice things. :c] Please, why would I do something like that?

[Seriously. :c] Uh, because you're you.

[Dick just laughs quietly before putting an arm over Tim's shoulders in a not!hug, which don't worry Mr. oh god hugs what are they, he's not going to be keeping it there for forever.] You know, you got taller.

[Barely. But.]

[Oh good. GOOD. Tim is going to SMILE at that because fuck yes, height.] I know. Couldn't stay five foot five forever, right?

Just as long as you've stopped. I don't think I could take you being taller then me. [Sob why is everyone I know shorter then me. :C]

Are you kidding? That's like my life goal.

Kind of a lame life goal, Timmy.

You try not growing between grades six and eight.
