[batmanschmatman]

So I'm guessing this is what you guys would call a "flood"?

How 'bout you tell me what you know.

He's Bruce and Talia's son, he's around ten or twelve years old, he's kind of a creep and is Robin now because I thought he needed guidance.

And you're calling yourself Red Robin and ran away to join the circus or something.

[peektuttut]

'Kind of a creep' is sort of an understatement. [He's still feeling bitter and is tempted to point out the murder attempts. :| But. Maybe later.]

That's about right, though. Less emphasis on the circus. I left Gotham to find proof.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

And you did.

I'm still finding it kind of hard to believe Bruce had no idea about this kid though. I mean, he's Bruce.

private;

[peektuttut]

Right. [He'll just leave out the fight they had on his way out of town.]

I guess, but Talia's an al Ghul. Ra's can plan for years. Or decades.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

This is so messed up.

private;

[peektuttut]

I guess Steph didn't tell you about Ra's' plans?

private;

[batmanschmatman]

... Just tell me. I'm not going to be able to answer that.

[He might be a liiiittle proud of this one.] He was striking out at Bruce, tried to wreck things in a big way while he was gone. We stopped him, but I'm kind of the majority share holder in Wayne Enterprises stock, now.

[He'll just leave out the part where he was kicked out a window.]

private;

[batmanschmatman]

[He laughs.] How did that happen?

private;

[peektuttut]

He was too obvious. He put out hits on all the people Bruce has cared about; he wanted me to think that was the only plan, but that isn't his MO. He was trying to use Hush to destroy Wayne Enterprises, so I had to make sure he couldn't.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Well, congrats. Sounds like you did good work.

private;

[peektuttut]

[There is internal puffing up at that.] Thanks.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

So. What's with the copying Dr. Mid-Nite thing?

private;

[peektuttut]

I am not copying Doctor Mid-Nite.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

That doesn't really answer my question.

private;

[peektuttut]

It does!

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Whatever you say.

I guess Red Robin's got potential to be catchy.

private;

[peektuttut]

Maybe someone'll write me a theme song.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Maybe.

You're being unusually evasive.

private;

[peektuttut]

About what?

private;

[batmanschmatman]

I know Damian's Robin, but did you graduate or just get sick of it or have a midlife crisis or did I fire you what?

private;

[peektuttut]

Don't really want to talk about it.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Okay.

private;

[peektuttut]

[Well that was unexpected.] And you're...fine with that?
