[HE TRIES VERY HARD NOT TO BRING HIM UP]

So tell me about-- yourself?

[he was about to say "your dad" but uh]

[vigilantics]

[ hilariously enough, steph's dad lore is the easiest thing to get out of her because she loves to shit talk him. ]

What do you want to know?

[survivaltricks]

[that's valid]

The most interesting fact about yourself that you think nobody would ever think to ask about.

[vigilantics]

[ she has to think about it. ]

I fight bad guys for a living?

[survivaltricks]

Oh.

Just like Dick does.

[VIGILANTES]

[vigilantics]

Yeah. We're part of the same team?

[ ... ]

Sort of. Maybe extended family works better.

[survivaltricks]

Hm?

[giving her a curious look now, because that's a story he wants to hear]

What do you mean "extended family?"

[vigilantics]

It means... multiple things, in this case, actually?

[ comics... ]

Like, different timelines and alternate universes, but also that... we are work together, but separately at the same time?

[survivaltricks]

[he is]

[so confused]

[but he does understand multiple timelines and universes, so he just. . . nods]

So you're saying there's another Dick running around your world that's different than the Dick here?

[vigilantics]

Pretty much. The one I know is older, but he's most likely from an alternate world than us.

Jason... is younger than I know him, but he might be from the same timeline, as far as I know? Damian and I are from the same place.

[survivaltricks]

Weird.

[WEIRD, BUT NOT UNHEARD OF. there is the castle Akechi, after all]

So you all work together, but separately, at the same time. Does this mean you're part of a vigilante coalition?

[vigilantics]

Yeah, that's one way to put it.

There's this one guy who is... I guess you can say that he's in charge? So if he told us to all do something, we'd do it. [ ... ] Or we don't do it, and it'll turn into a whole lot of drama, but you get the picture.

[survivaltricks]

I get the picture.

[l-lightly amused, whether he should be or not]

Is this the same guy who adopted Dick and taught him combat training at age nine?

[vigilantics]

That's the one. He's... uh. He's a character.

[ she's trying to be polite. ]

[survivaltricks]

. . .

That's what people say when they don't have anything nice to say about someone.

[vigilantics]

Well... it's not that I don't have anything nice to say. It's just complicated.
