[ For once, Damian's post isn't well put together. The words are rushed together, coming out in a frenzy of thought. ]

[ and then, a few hours after this initial panicked post, he posts again. ]

Vic and Raven were all that was left of the Titans in my world. We get along fine. [ read: they are my best and only friends ]

[reneger]

First name basis. You must really like 'em.

( considering damian's whole thing with names. they're still close, so jason pulls him into another hug. rubs a palm against his back. )

This guy'll be good for you. Maybe. And if he isn't, we'll kick his ass Outlaws style.

[batricide]

Raven's name isn't actually Raven.

[ that gets such a look. don't call him out on his name usage!! ]

He's misguided in my world. Easy to manipulate. [ ... ] I'll look out for him.

[reneger]

( too late. he's been called out. never forget. damian will look out for kaldur, kaldur will look out for damian. jason's pleased, at least. )

Be gentle.

[batricide]

Don't know the meaning of the word.

[reneger]

Yeah, you do. You'll be just fine.

( ruffling damian's hair before he's stepping back. putting some distance between them. that's enough hugs for now. )

Can you check in with me a little more often? Give updates on what you're up to. I'll do the same.

[batricide]

[ ... ]

Yeah. I can. Haven't been doing anything but fighting lately.

[reneger]

You consider doing something else?

( like jason can't talk. all he does is fight and get into shenanigans but. )

You're a smart kid. Bet any of these corporations would be licking your boots to get a glimpse into that brain of yours.

[batricide]

Yeah, and how am I gonna prove it? I don't have credentials or experience here.

[ He scoffs. ]

Better to stay in the underground.

[reneger]

So? Staying underground's easy. Since when did you start taking the easy route, D?

( really, he just wants to see damian fuck with corporate shit. he's capable of it. jason believes in him. )

[batricide]

I'm most useful where I am.

[reneger]

Are you, D? 'cause I'm pretty sure your uses extend a lot farther than mine, and mine stop at the gritty underground.

[batricide]

Your 'use' goes beyond that, don't sell yourself short.

[reneger]

I know what I am. ( bumping his shoulder into damian's own as he moves to walk passed him, towards the door. )

You're the one who doesn't believe in himself.

[batricide]

[ He turns to look at Jason, annoyed. ] I believe in myself.

[ Do you? ]

[reneger]

( there's really no point in arguing with damian, so jason--doesn't. drops the subject instead. )

Maybe I'll need to find a new gig.
