psa: no one is allowed to tell me off for wandering alone in riverview because you guys are all the worst kids ever when you get tiny.

you also all have like zero self-preservation instincts. ZERO.

also if you're a tiny kid and you don't want adults in your business, I'm happy to help out.

Huh. I guess it is kind of funny.

[bestrobin]

​I'm funny.

[supersweet]

You keep telling yourself that.

[bestrobin]

I will.

[supersweet]

Why do you even care if you're funny or not anyway? Aren't you guys above that as bat-people?

[bestrobin]

​We aren't bat-people.

( He doesn't have answer to why he cares besides he has to be good at everything. )

[supersweet]

I like how that's the part you took issue with.

[bestrobin]

Because we aren't Bat-People.

( That's like calling Goliath a Man-Bat. It's rude. )

[supersweet]

Well you guys certainly aren't normal people.

[bestrobin]

Neither is your family.

( Careful, Jon. )

[supersweet]

Yeah, but that's cause we're born different. Aliens and stuff. But we still do normal things like baseball or movies.

[bestrobin]

​So was I.

And my father only socializes when he has to. The same as the rest of us.​

( Some people have to work at being heroes, Jon. )

[supersweet]

Do you guys ever do bonding activities?

[bestrobin]

( Bonding... activities...? )

We patrol.

And father makes me eat dinner with him sometimes.

[supersweet]

Only sometimes?

[ That is hard to believe. ]

Why not all the time?

[bestrobin]

Father gets busy.

( And if he'd learned anything about his father in the three years he'd lived with him, it was that Bruce Wayne and Batman were both great at prioritizing everything else above their son. )

When we eat together, it's usually because he wants to talk about something specific.

( Or scold him. Usually scold him. )

[supersweet]

Maybe you could ask him to spend more time with you. Just dinners and stuff. It's like a rule my mom has at home.

[bestrobin]

Your mother has rules about your father spending time with you?

( Why is Jon's family so weird? )

[supersweet]

Yeah. 'Cuz we're a family and it's important to spend time with each other.

[bestrobin]

My family doesn't do that.

[supersweet]

I know, but wouldn't you like it if your family did that?

[bestrobin]

My father can't even be bothered to have dinner with me on my birthday.

[supersweet]

Well. Maybe he should.

[bestrobin]

He should do a lot of things that he doesn't.

[supersweet]

Maybe you should just tell him that. Remind him. Even my dad needs reminders.
