Video- Closed to Batfam/Wally/Jon + Roy

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ Jason didn't often do network posts, but a video filtered by @givesyouhell was sent to those he needed to see it. The video opens first off to the home in the background.

Only then does Jason turn so he can hold his phone up basically selfie mode with the manor behind him.]

Lil D, it looks like your dad sent a gift. I dont think it works that way but, I filled out the paperwork with the agent and we have the place to ourselves. And I mean that to everyone who can see this.

Jon, I have an idea by the way so I want to talk to you when I pick you up after school.

Cass and Blondie, your both in to. If you want. Wally and Roy, if you want there is room.

So, whose coming over?

Coming over?

What's going on?

[ video | un: jkent ]

[hititwithacrowbar]

Well, you and I are going to talk as soon as your free before I have you come over.

[supersweet]

[ uhhh ]

Whatever it is, Damian did it first!

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ Jason burst out laughing then. Of course. ]

Jon, you're not in trouble, kid. Points for a good answer though. I'll be home in about ten minutes okay?

[supersweet]

[ Huh. ]

Okay. I'll wait.

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ True to his word he made the way through the door about ten minutes later, moving to find Jon. ]

Ready for the serious scary talk time?

[supersweet]

[ Jon has been wracking his brain over what it could be. Nothing really springs to mind. ]

As I'll ever be.

. . . You're not getting married right?

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ Jason couldn't help looking at Jon like he had grown a second head.]

No.. Jon, you kind of need to not be single to get married, that or drunk in Vegas, and we don't have Vegas here. That and I don't believe in marriage anyway.

[ He shakes his head some. ]

No, I wanted to talk about the future of this house, of your house.

[supersweet]

[ Jon immediately tenses up. Had something happened to Bucky? He had said the house was safe. ]

What about it?

[hititwithacrowbar]

Well, the manor's showed up, and it's in my name now.You know how we were running out of room here, so I was thinking, instead of putting money we are short on, into renovating this house, we all move into that one, and rent this one out, and put all the money made from renting into an account for just you to use. Since this, first and foremost, is your house.

I want to know your thoughts.

[supersweet]

[ Despite it all, Jon feels a pang in his heart. This was his house. Where he and his parents moved in. It meant a lot to him and while they're not getting rid of it . . . But he had to be practical about it too. ]

I mean . . . it makes sense.

[hititwithacrowbar]

I thought it did, but I also know how it feels to have adults make choices without asking. Which is why I ask how you feel about it. Anything made off renting this house out will be yours, and yours alone. I promise that. With Wally and the others moving into the manor with us, money wont be as tight and we wont trip all over each other.

[ He puts a hand on Jon's head then and smiles the rare old Robin smile down at him.]

But, you and Little D are the two whose opinions matter to me. I didn't do all that work to get custody just to upset you guys.

[otherflash]

[ Talk about an upgrade to their current housing situation. ]

I don't suppose the place came with a butler.

[hititwithacrowbar]

Sadly no, and we better keep it clean because god help us all of Alfred shows up. That's all I'm saying.

In case it wasn't clear, man, your coming to. No choice in it. Your with us.

[otherflash]

Well, I guess I'll have to move into this big house of yours if I have no choice.

[ Wally doesn't look bothered by this in the least. Not only does the manor give the group more space, but it means they can put off the renovations they had planned. ]

Do you think the others will be okay with the move?

private

[hititwithacrowbar]

Damn right you do, I cant handle these kids on my own, and your better than a dirt devil when it comes to speed cleaning.

[ Jay was a neat freak and couldn't help it. Just a side effect of his many problems. ]

I've invited them, Roy included. If we have the room it would be rude not to. I hope you dont mind.

private

[otherflash]

So you're only keeping me around because I'm useful. I see how it is.

[ The way he grins cheekily should let Jason know he's only joking around. The two might not be the closest of people despite living together for a few months, but he does consider the other man to be a genuine friend. ]

It's no problem. I was just worried about... Jon. A move like this can be tough on a kid.

Re: private

[hititwithacrowbar]

Well, duh, did you think it was personal? You give me to much credit, Wally.

[ He teased right back. He may not have tried to get to know Wally very well but they lived together and Wally helped with the boys so he was good people in Jay's book. Wally just fit into that trend Jason had of collecting Dick's red headed friends once Dick leaves.]

Me to, I'm going to have a talk with him tonight, promise him that we'll keep the house and rent it out so he can build some savings or something. Anyway to keep it close to him and help secure his future here since neither of us intend to ever go home.

[otherflash]

I really should have known better. But, hey, I still get to live in a huge fancy house. I think I'm okay with being used.

[ Wally nods when Jason says he's going to have a talk with Jon about the move later. ]

He'll appreciate that, I think. Anyway, it sounds like you got things figured out. Just let me know when you want to make the move and I'll have all of our stuff there in a flash.

[hititwithacrowbar]

We all get used, thats part of the job, West.

[ Jason chuckled as he said it. Then shrugged.]

I'm doing my best to put his needs first. Its selfish but I'm more just trying to do better than B did with me in this stuff. The kid want's to be a hero so bad. ANd yeah, as soon as the paperwork is finished I'll let you know.

[otherflash]

That's true, I guess. I mean, I only keep you around because you make breakfast most of the time.

[ Which is way more valuable than a fancy house in his opinion. ]

I certainly understand that. Though maybe we should wait a bit before renting it out so he has time to adjust. I know this might sound silly coming from me of all people, but there's really no reason to rush it.

[hititwithacrowbar]

Walls, look, I'll make something amazing for our first dinner in the manor. It'll blow my half asleep breakfast game out of the water.

[ Jason laughed at that, he couldn't help it.]

Your right, it does sound funny from you, but yeah that makes sense, besides it gives me time to collect all the weapons I've stashed.

[otherflash]

I'm going to hold you to that, Todd.

[ Wally's eyebrows raise at the mention of stashed weapons. Not that he should really be surprised about that fact now that he thinks about it. ]

Do I even want to know how many weapons you have hidden around the house?

[cassassin]

[She's in the middle of packing a big camper's backpack when she answers. Camping trip outside of the wall is nearly go!! Cass honestly feels...odd about the offer, given that she hasn't ever lived at the manor, but.]

Um... sure. Maybe? I'll talk to Steph. See what she thinks.

[Cassandra isn't going there without her, and she has a feeling Stephanie might need some convincing.]

video; un: givesyouhell

[hititwithacrowbar]

Just make sure she knows she's welcome.

[ he didn't like asking for help with the boys but the more hands he had around the easier it would be.]

I like the idea of keeping us all together if possible.
