big, big, stretch for a big, big, guy. patrol did a number on him last night.

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

"didn't think to just ask me?"

not that jason cared, what were the weight of a head against own lap? a drop in an ocean. opposing hand finds itself upon briar's arms⏤ bruises and all.

"who got you this time?"

[🦇 — 𝐁͟𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐑. @twinnedbat]

“no…”

a murmur, healing bruises decorating his pallid skin. the touch brings a sigh of relief, copper red locks shifting side to side beneath jason’s delicate touch.

“just wanted an excuse to make you pet my head.”

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

fingers settle amidst curls immediate with a light touch, blunted nails atop scalp that caress.

"what, your bed ain't good enough?"

[🦇 — 𝐁͟𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐑. @twinnedbat]

stretching out, laying his head on the readers lap.

@LEAPSFIRST "how low you've fallen, dick. actin' like a hunting hound."

slight is the wave of hand, more of a rolled wrist, as if to dismiss. "got what you wanted though. so. 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵?"

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

@LEAPSFIRST "couldn't just come get them himself?" tumultuous times, a strained relationship⏤ none of which fell upon dick's own shoulders. before would the mere thought inspire rage, but time could, gradually, heal all wounds.

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

a pleasant surprise, hadn't anticipated such a swift response let alone a response at all. but sure enough does door remain unlocked, and from within comes a voice⏤ controlled.

"let yourself in! already come all this way, right?"

[໊ @TAL0NGRIPS]

it doesn’t take very long for the attorney to be knocking at his door， a faint sigh. he’s dressed down， keeping himself low—profile.

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

i don't really regret much. pretty sure i wouldn't regret putting you in time out.

leave. it. alone.

[🐾 ━ 𝙜𝙖𝙧 𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙖𝙣 .ᐟ @shiftedgreen]

you’d regret doing that …

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

sure you wanna test that, gar?

no treats for a week. maybe two.

[🐾 ━ 𝙜𝙖𝙧 𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙖𝙣 .ᐟ @shiftedgreen]

you don’t scare me ….

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

someone's gonna be put in time out.

stop it.

[🐾 ━ 𝙜𝙖𝙧 𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙖𝙣 .ᐟ @shiftedgreen]

… nudges it again.

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

don't even think about it.

[🐾 ━ 𝙜𝙖𝙧 𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙖𝙣 .ᐟ @shiftedgreen]

nudging a glass of water closer and closer to the edge of the counter …

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

@LEAPSFIRST "must be pretty important if it's you here. wanna cut the bullshit and tell me what this is really about?"

stern words though resolve changes none, spirits kept surprisingly high.

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

@LEAPSFIRST "pretty sure it's 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘧𝘮𝘢' business, actually."

typical. typical it were dick, typical that nerves were already being toyed with. footsteps bring him ever closer, gaze roaming familiar space, for whatever may have piqued interest.

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

just show up.

. . . a sixth copy, then a seventh.

[໊ @TAL0NGRIPS]

you’ve lost me， entirely.

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

owls. robins.

𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.

[໊ @TAL0NGRIPS]

owls ?

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

honestly? 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. but everyone's favourite da elect is more than welcome to deliver on that visit.

in fact, he'll even leave a window open. or a door unlocked. how 𝘥𝘰 owls prefer to arrive, anyways?

[໊ @TAL0NGRIPS]

what does he want ? what’s gonna get him to destroy the copies ?

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

can’t go spilling all his secrets, that’s half the fun. who’s gonna get them? who’s gonna know—? really it could be anyone.

or anything.

[໊ @TAL0NGRIPS]

and where does he plan to send them ? the news ? his rivals ? come on， make a real threat.

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

sure they can, but life can be pretty boring without a gamble. death didn't take once⏤ what's stopping him now?

oh look! 𝘢 𝘧𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘺.

[໊ @TAL0NGRIPS]

it’s hardly the worst scandal to hit gotham， be careful what you bargain， some prices can easily be paid.

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

motive? does he need one?

never hurts to have the denizens of gotham in his back pocket. what's a little hero work without getting your hands 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘺?

[໊ @TAL0NGRIPS]

what’s his motive then ?

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

ooh, jason's quaking in his boots. like he hasn't heard that one before.

hell of a way to drum up voters, huh?

[໊ @TAL0NGRIPS]

he’ll be receiving a visit tonight， that’s for certain.

[⋆ ⏤ 𝐑͟𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐃. ᐟ @LAZAWRATH]

sorry, he's a little occupied. one copy, two copy⏤ three copies. . .

and there's a fourth!

[໊ @TAL0NGRIPS]

no， no， no. don’t do that， jason …
