Are any of you capable of flying or jumping at least four stories high?

​If I was going to replace you, I would have said:

Is anyone here Super with actual Super Powers?

[supersweet]

Very funny.

What are you doing then?

[bestrobin]

​Cataloging people's abilities to assess at a later time.

[supersweet]

[ Fry squint. ]

To do what, exactly? This is very specific.

[bestrobin]

( Why is everyone so paranoid?? )

I'm starting with flying and jumping. Next will be superstrength and speed.

( He's not really lying. He is cataloging things. But there's more to it than just that in this particular instance. )

[supersweet]

[ Jon is paranoid because he knows you. ]

Those are all my powers.

[bestrobin]

( Stop being paranoid! )

I'm not trying to replace you, Jon. I've already invested too much time in getting used to you.

[supersweet]

[ Jon huffs. ]

I'm not your padawan, Damian.

[bestrobin]

No. You're my Kryptonian.

( What the hell is a Padawan?? )

[supersweet]

[ Your brothers have failed you.

But Jon processes that and after a beat. ]

Your Kryptonian?

[bestrobin]

( Have you met them? They aren't exactly beacons of success. )

Yes. My Kryptonian.

My father has your father. You're mine.

[supersweet]

[ . . . This is true. ]

Iiii don't think that's how it works. But sure.

[ Some things you just have to let go. ]

[bestrobin]

What do you mean?

[supersweet]

Like. I'm pretty sure your dad and my dad are partners?

[bestrobin]

​Yes.

What's your point?

[supersweet]

. . . It means my dad isn't . . . his Kryptonian? That was my point??

[bestrobin]

He is.

They're partners.

[supersweet]

[ Sigh ]

Yeah, okay. I'm your Kryptonian.

[bestrobin]

See?

It makes sense.

[supersweet]

I seriously doubt it makes sense to anyone else but us.

[bestrobin]

​As long as we have a mutual understanding of our dynamic, that's all that matters.

( Meaning - as long as you know you're his, Jon, you're good. )

[supersweet]

You got it.
