1st Resurrection. Voice.

You know, there are easier ways to get a guy's attention. I know I'm not the easiest guy to get a hold of, but you could try the old fashioned way, and put something up on the sky. Leave a message on a wall, or anything that doesn't include zapping me into space.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate you saving my ass and all, but I don't do the whole "space travel" thing any more. Though something tells me you're not going to take "no" for an answer, are you?

[Jason blathers away into the device he discovered, hoping it grabs the attention of whoever is responsible for him being here. Maybe it will distract them and keep them from collecting him right away. In the meantime, he's making his way through the different floors of the Barge, trying to gather anything he can turn into a weapon and gain some information on his current whereabouts.]

What about Dick?

[batmanschmatman]

I don't know how it works, exactly. But I don't think helping people is bullshit.

[crossestheline]

I've heard some things about you.

[Jason follows along after her, trailing behind her.]

If what I told was true, then you're capable of reading people's body language and can predict their actions before they even happen?

[Sounds a little too good to be true. He's come across extremely skilled fighters in his travels and none of them were able to pull off anything of that caliber.]

[Private; voice]

[crossestheline]

You'll be seeing me soon enough. [If he had his weapons on him, he'd be there in a heartbeat. As pissed off as he is, it's not enough to send him after Tim in his home territory without any weapons.]

[Private; voice]

[peektuttut]

[Which Tim was banking on, frankly. You can almost hear the dry smile in his voice.]

I know. It's a small ship.

[Private]

[crossestheline]

How is being here helping anyone? Is graduating people here some way of redeeming them?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Yes. Thus people telling you you're here to "make better life choices."

[Private; voice]

[crossestheline]

[Jason mutters something vulgar and vile before disconnecting his feed.]

[Private]

[crossestheline]

Good luck with that. [Smirks.] As I was telling Blondie, I don't need anyone telling me how to live my life.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

You're not my inmate. I don't really care what you get up to.

[crossestheline]

What do you think? He's in Gotham too but as useless as Tim.

[Him behind her, out of her line of sight, doesn't teach her a thing. She turns and walks backwards instead, because she's counted how many steps are to the stairs, to the kitchen, all over the whole barge.

He's curious about her, which is good. It means he won't dismiss her right away, since she's got answers he wants to have too. She'll be selective in giving them, though. Dickie-bird is a dumb nickname and she doubts Dick even likes it.]

It's true. You were... going to punch, first. Right hook. Hard. If I didn't go down, you would... try again.

[theonlyresponse]

I assume Stephanie, Cassandra, and Barbara were doing the same.

Re: [Private]

[crossestheline]

You don't? No concern about me graduating and getting to return to the land of the living again? I'm hurt, Dickie-bird.

[crossestheline]

You assume right. None of them are willing to do what needs to be done. You think that was the first time Gotham's gone to hell? It wasn't. The whole damn multiverse almost went to hell and it keeps happening again and again.

[Frustration leaks into his voice. No matter how many times he tries to reach out and reason with the people he knows, none of them will ever listen.

Then again, after meeting the Bruce in front of him, he has a better understanding of why some are so reluctant to go down that path.]

[theonlyresponse]

[He doesn't answer, he simply reaches out a hand and puts it on Jason's shoulders. It's so strange, to be here listening to him, like there was nothing that took him away. And yet, so natural, like when they'd met, and compared notes, and realised what they had in common.]

When did you come up with this nickname? It makes you sound like a character in a bad fanfiction. [Which he was exposed to courtesy of Shego's breach counterpart during that TV Show breach. B(]

[Private]

[crossestheline]

I pay you a little visit after my return. [Raises his brows.] Are you familiar with bad fanfiction?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Unfortunately. There are some scary people out there on the internet.

[Private]

[crossestheline]

Why are you reading any of it in the first place?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

There was a public reading of some of it during a breach. We temporarily were actors playing ourselves on a popular TV show called "The Last Voyages". It was weird.

[crossestheline]

[Jason's immediate reaction is to go tense and shift into a defensive mindset. From the moment he arrived on the ship, his defenses have been on high alert.

After drawing in a deep breath and studying Bruce, his muscles begin to relax. It's not easy for Jason to let his guard down, especially in a strange place like this. However, there's something about the connection the two of them share that allows Jason to lower his defenses and touch comfort in the gesture.]

[Private]

[crossestheline]

I'm starting to think I'll take my chances with jumping over board and dealing with space.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Don't. The Barge will crash to get you back, which usually just means we land in some wasteland with people trying to kill us.

[crossestheline]

Color me impressed. How are you able to do that?

[Not only did she know he was going to attack, but she knew the exact combination he was going for. It would be one thing if the two of them had fought before and she had time to study his moves, but this is the first time the two of them have met in person.]
