[This whole post is backdated to after Slade's arrival post and this fight.]

Just a note for anyone who's missed this memo: people have contacted the Admiral about what happens to people who disappear before. He's said he doesn't control when they vanish any more than we do. I know we don't really have reason to trust his word on stuff like this, but I figured it's something worth hearing.

There have been plenty of tough cases who have graduated and a lot of crappy wardens who have overstayed their welcome, and the Admiral didn't get rid of them. It'd save a lot of time and energy if people could keep that in mind next time anyone starts making accusations that someone got kicked off because the Admiral gave up on them, or thinks they've been doing a lousy job.

[Filtered to the DC Wardens]

Slade's here. He was here before until about a year ago, and he was actually making progress by the time he got booted off the ship. [Sort of. He thinks. Maybe.

It's complicated.]

Try not to piss him off if you don't have to.

[Spam for Dean, after the fight]

[Dick wasn't overly pleased with how this had gone down. Bruce acting like a jackass wasn't anything new or unexpected, in so many ways, and he was an inmate. This sort of behavior was to be expected.

But Dean and Faith were wardens, and it always, always bothered Dick when confrontations between wardens turned into what was basically a playground brawl. They were supposed to be the role models here, and he got that both of them were upset, but calling names and intentionally looking to piss the other off was ridiculous. He might side more with Dean because he was his friend, and he didn't particularly like Faith, but they were both definitely in the wrong here.

He turned to Dean after the other two had left, expression and voice still level and serious rather than angry, and gestured for the other man to show him his injured arm.]

Let me see.

Or stopping someone else from making things worse.

Again, if you don't think Faith could have taken care of Dean herself, you're delusional and not giving her enough credit.

You're missing the point.

You think you're sticking up for her because no one else would. That's nice and all, but again, there are plenty of other ways you could have shown your support that didn't involve breaking someone's wrist.

Typical of you.

[added later:]

By the way, Wilson's on board.

I'm well aware.

Your world's Wilson, apparently.

Is this Stating the Obvious Hour, or are you just fishing for information?

If that's how you want to look at it.

[He's worried about you :c]

[Don't be, things with Slade are actually pretty okay right now. :c]

Did you guys have a nice chat?

Not a word I'd use.

I'm shocked.

I see.

[He doesn't honestly feel like making much of a remark back.]

Anything else worth reporting?

Nothing you'd care about.

Try me.

Already did.

Bruce, I'm sorry, I don't much like Faith, and I still think she was just as much in the wrong as Dean was. They're wardens, they should be above this kind of behavior. You don't need to act like a sulky child because I think all three of you massively screwed up.

You'll have better luck with a wall.

You contacted me, Bruce. So I guess that makes you a pretty talkative wall.

A waste of time, as always.

Really not helping with the schoolyard bully comparison, Bruce. And emotional manipulation works a lot better when the person you're trying to pick on actually gives a damn about what you think.

Is that what you think this is?

A desperate plea for attention? I don't know, Bruce, you haven't exactly been very communicative.

What do you think I am, Dick?
