action/video 001; un: d.wayne Communal housing Floor 2.

[sonofab]

[Damian stares down his ...social worker... as she speaks. The woman explains the room, his bi-weekly stipend, the works. Still, Damian stares her down with a burning intensity that just screams 'I am displeased. Go. away. No mask, no Robin gear, just a pissed off teenager in a hoodie.

Clearing her throat nervously, she does leave and that's why Damian takes in his room. It didn't matter what the room looked like really, Damian wasn't having this communal living nonsense. He sees the extra beds in the room and ...that is just too many roommates. This is was 24-hour surveillance and he was not having that.

He frowns down at the device and switches it on. Have an annoyed looking ... 10-year-old? (No, he's 13 dammit, don't just assume things from his small stature!) glaring down at the camera.]

This communal living thing is not happening. What's the price range for houses or private apartments around here?

[ Jon rubs the back of his neck. He thought so too. Doesn't Avenging imply fixing things after everything goes bad? It's not a very helpful title. ]

I think that's what they're called. They're not bad though.

[sonofab]

[Damian watches Jon fidget for a bit, feeling calmer than he has since this all started. Seeing the Super just be awkward was.. a welcomed familiarity after the weird day he's been having.]

Tt, you sure about that? Super good judgment isn't on your list of superpowers after all.

[He deadpans, then lightly nudges the younger boy.]

[supersweet]

[ Jon sticks his tongue at him before smiling. ]

99% sure!

[sonofab]

So that would mean the theory is about 20% correct. Got it.

[Damian shrugs.]

Come on, let's see this house. I've had enough of this communal living nonsense. [He makes a face at the building.]

[supersweet]

Sure, but you're gonna have to walk a bit. It's pretty far.

[sonofab]

Or we could fly?

[He knew the power was still new to Kent, maybe that's why it slipped his mind? But come now Jon, being a Super taxi is kinda why bats kept you supers around.]

[supersweet]

[ Jon blinks. It takes him a moment to tune in to see if anyone's nearby with his senses before nodding. ]

Yeah. No one's around so it should be fine.

[sonofab]

[Good super uber. Damian moves to stand behind Jon and holds on.]

[supersweet]

[ Remember those days when Damian was like "no I'll never deign to let you carry me around?". So much for that. Still, Jon keeps his snickering to himself as he wraps his arms around Damian's legs and launches himself into the air. His flying is shaky, but it has vastly improved in the recent months. ]

[sonofab]

[Haven't we moved past that Kent? And while it was still humiliating being carried, Damian couldn't deny how handy it was, especially now that Jon can fly and not just jump really high.]

You're going to need flight training. [He mutters because this ride is bumpy and he is filing a complaint with the captain.]

[supersweet]

[ Jon rolls his eyes. ]

Who's gonna teach me that? You?

[sonofab]

You scoff, but I flew much better than this when I had powers. [So maybe he could actually tell you a thing or two!]

[supersweet]

You had powers?

[sonofab]

[Damian blinks.] Yes? I thought I told you about that...

[supersweet]

[ Look, sometimes Jon tunes you out. "I went to university." "I climbed Mount Everest". There's only so much of your crazy life he can keep track of. ]

Maybe? Where did they come from?

[sonofab]

[How dare. His crazy life is the stuff of great novels Jon, and it is wasted on you. Damian frowns.]

It was-- [Did Jon really just forget that stuff? Damian wasn't sure he wanted to talk about it again if he did. He is quiet for a moment then shakes his head.] Nothing. Never mind, point is, your flying sucks.

[supersweet]

[ Blame continuity. Either way, that's weird. Damian never passes up the opportunity to tell Jon something he doesn't know. ]

Uh-huh. You sure you don't wanna just tell what I missed?

[sonofab]

Missed? [Oh, right... they did mention something about people being from different times when he came through the portal.]

First, tell me what's the last thing you remember about me. From our world, not where.

[Though he is kinda curious about that to.]

[supersweet]

Oh. Uhhh. We stopped Manchester Black and I finally moved to Metropolis. Dad and Batman said we could work together too.

[sonofab]

So, as usual, you're behind. We're not just working together, Jon... they're sending us to school together.

[I mean, Damian in school? Really?] It's ridiculous, they even want to put me in your grade!

[Weren't they supposed to be talking about powers? Well too bad, because Damian is upset about this all over again!] I have MULTIPLE degrees!

[Or would if mother didn't kill his tutors.]

[supersweet]

[ They finally land at the Kent House, which allows Jon to put Damian down gingerly before staring at him incredulously. ]

Aren't you three years older than me? How does that work?

[sonofab]

EXACTLY! [Damian barks out then rubs his temples.]

[supersweet]

[ Pfft. ]

Going to school together would be cool though. That way, you won't have to pretend to be my teacher slash bus driver.

[sonofab]

[Have a finger pointed in your face just inches from your nose because listen here Jon!]

It's a waste of my time and I only did that to show that I could. ...This is it?

[Oh, hey, a house.]

[supersweet]

[ Jon rolls his eyes. ]

Yeah, this is it.

You never explained why you did it, though.
