[ Jon frowns, trying to follow that. ]

What do you mean?

[hititwithacrowbar]

I'm not sure it's a story you'd want to hear, but trust me, being Batman has a way of landing people in a special cell in Arkham Asylum.

[ Jason replied as he looked out at the stars again. ]

[supersweet]

[ Jon frowns lightly. His father trusts Batman completely but Jon has been around them to know that things are always complicated between the Bat-Family. ]

I believe you.

Anyway, it's not . . . bad. I just thought you should know. And — maybe Tim too.

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ There were so many reasons Jason didn't openly talk about his life around Jon, mostly to try and protect him. He ran a hand through his hair again. ]

He tried to kill you, it's bad, but just remember that Tim and this Tim aren't the same. The Tim we live with is from a strange world, but he's nicer than our Tim back home. I'll threaten him for you though, if you want. I want you to feel safe here, this is your home after all before anyone else's this is yours. You have the final say in who stays, my job is to make sure your will is respected.

So, do you want me to go talk to him?

[supersweet]

[ There's a long pause as Jon works it out before coming to a solid conclusion. ]

No. I mean. I should do it. It's not fair if I avoided it. To him or myself. And I know it's not him, it's just —

[ Jon waves his hands around, lackadaisical, as if to illustrate the weird nonchalance of people trying to kill him/brainwash him/etc ]

[hititwithacrowbar]

See, I knew you had a good head on your shoulders.

[ He reached out then playfully punching Jon's shoulder with no real force, a smile offered as he did so. ]

And no, trust me I get it. It's hard, I've been on both sides of that coin so, it's weird and only you will truly understand it.

[supersweet]

It's not that hard anymore. I guess I'm getting used to it.

[hititwithacrowbar]

It sucks, but its part of life.

[ He replied with a nudge to Jon's shoulder.]

[supersweet]

[ Jon nods. He gets that. He chose to be Superboy, chose to follow his father's footsteps. As difficult as it gets . . . Jon can't say he regrets any of it. ]

Yeah. And it's the life I picked.

[hititwithacrowbar]

And I for one, think your doing great with it.

[ And he will fight anyone who says otherwise. He looked over to Jon again and shrugged some.]

So, anything else on your mind, or would you like to help me figure out what to make tonight?

[supersweet]

No, I think that's it.

[ He's going to leave out the stuff with Damian's mom because mom stuff is personal and Damian might not appreciate that. Besides, it didn't really impact or change much about their relationship. Jon always knew, to some degree, how messed up Damian's past was. ]

What are we making? Is it pizza?

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ Yeah, Jason didn't need to know Talia was alive. And given what Damian knows, it's likely he wont know for a long time. ]

Eh... I mean we can order Pizza, but I'm not good enough to make pizza without using the premade crusts and those taste like cardboard, so, lets order in. Pizza's always a win.

[supersweet]

Sure.

[ Jon mulls something over. ]

Hey, Jason? You're good with guns right?

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ Jason looks up from his phone where he was already pulling up the app to order the pizza looking just a little confused.]

Good is an understatement, but sure. I'm good. Why do you ask?

[ He asks concerned since last he knew supers were bulletproof.]

[supersweet]

Iiii kinda want to try catching bullets again. I managed, but I think I need the practice.

[hititwithacrowbar]

So... You asking me to shot at you?

[supersweet]

If you don't mind?

[hititwithacrowbar]

I mean, I know your bulletproof and all but what if one of the neighbors calls the cops? Last thing we need is the social workers showing up.... We just have to find a quiet place.

[supersweet]

What about the Perimeter Guard's place after dark? They've got tons of sound proof rooms for training.

[hititwithacrowbar]

I could probably disable the cameras... yeah if your sure.

[supersweet]

I'm sure. We had a close call with a bullet and I need to get faster.

[hititwithacrowbar]

Well, fuck it, let's get in the car and go before Tim or Little D can question. We can disable the cameras easily enough.

[supersweet]

Do you . . . do that a lot.

[ Bat-people are so well versed in breaking the law. ]

[hititwithacrowbar]

..Uh, well. Do you really want an answer?

[ Yes. He's very good at it.]

[supersweet]

No, I think I'm good.

[ He can get it through context. ]
