I'm looking to gather information. Fill out the form below. What is the name of your home planet? Do you know the specific designation of your universe? What is the year in your native world? What is the level of technology? What is the most advanced thing you know of? Did you possess abilities prior to arrival? If so, how much of those abilities have you retained? What power have you been given? Do you have any form of criminal record? Do you have any special skills that could be used to our advantage?

Tt. That's assuming I'd allow you to be buried.

[ He's not a child anymore, not helpless in the face of death. He boasts confidence through the touch. No one is taking his brother from him again. ]

He seems... fond of you. I suspect you'll be fine.

Next time I die, actually die, make sure they burn the body. I don't wanna come back from it again.

( his face says what a fucking asshole, lips spread in a snarky grin. but the touch radiates something. . else. darker. regret, fear. )

We're alright for now.

Don't start with that. It's not going to happen.

[ It's. Not. Not again. There's no humor in his voice - he's been to too many funerals. Found too many loved ones cold and dead, unable to save them. ]

It's going to happen eventually.

( not now. maybe not even ten years from now, but one day. )

Everyone dies, D.

You forget who my grandfather is.

Already took one dip in that pit. I'm not eager for a second.

( he would, for damian. for someone who needs him alive, can't deal with losing someone. but god, who knows how jason'll come back this time? last time, he--figured it out. pieced himself together again. but-- )

If I come out crazy, you'd better lock me up again.

[ Guilt. More guilt. ]

Alfred came back fine. [ It's a confession of sorts, quiet. Melancholy. ] If it came to that I'd keep you away from people while you came back to your senses.

( he's quiet, for quite some time. but the thoughts rushing through his head are enough to make it obvious he's still thinking. guilt. anger. followed by sheer determination. the stubborn attitude that every robin carries with them. )

I won't let anyone hurt you. Ever. Not again.

You don't need to protect me. [ He's snapping - the anger is defensive, he hates feeling what Jason feels, knowing that Jason can feel the same. ] I'm not the one who gets hurt.

No, not physically. You've got me beat there. It's here.

( fingers raising, pressing against damian's chest. )

You've got a big heart.

Hardly.

[ He catches Jason's wrist, prying it free. ]

( there's no real pressure to his hand; damian can pull all he wants. jason won't fight it. )

You love animals. All of them. To the point when you saw one being mistreated and went vegetarian. You don't know how to respond to people showing you attention, but you try your best anyway. Hell, you even take care of me. No one's managed that one for long.

That's not who I am.

[ He keeps his voice flat and neutral. He does love animals - he does, but he was never permitted them. Just as he was never permitted with other children. Too dangerous. Too much of a risk. Too much like his mother. ]

I'm not the same boy you knew.

You're not thirteen year old Damian Wayne anymore, I know.

( he's different but very much the same. closer to how damian was when bruce first got him than--what he grew into. it's another important detail to remember: this one didn't have nice things. didn't have dick to balance him out. )

But your heart's the same.

I'm not the same person.

[ His jaw tightens, there's a hot flare of anger. ]

I'm not a vegetarian, for one. Ra's runs [ ran ] a sanctuary for endangered animals. Who doesn't care for them?

Good, 'cause the moment I get enough to buy some real goddamn meat, we're having hamburgers.

( he'd respect damian's decision not to eat them and eat both instead but REGARDLESS. )

You're still my baby brother. 's all that matters to me.

[ ugh. ]

Very well.

You know what they say. . "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb".

( not brothers by blood but brothers by a stronger bond. )

Even if you're not thirteen and leaving crowbars in my bed, I still know your heart. You can't hide that shit from me.

I left a crowbar in your bed?

[ that was sweet but okay what. ]

You said you wanted to prove you could beat all three previous robins. So you took us on one by one. Broke into my safe house, tucked a crowbar into my sheets, and waited tucked away in the ceiling for me to walk in and find it.

( lleaning back down onto the couch, now. they've had enough touching. )

Can you get me a beer out of the fridge?

Ha. That does sound like something I'd do.

[ He gets up and heads over to the fridge, grabbing a beer - these taste terrible? why would you drink them? and heads back over, sitting back down a comfortable distance away. ]

( reaching a hand out for the beer, please hand it over yes thank you. )

Then you kicked my ass, in my own home, and stole my hood. And my bike.

Living with my father was not good for my temper.

[ Yeah yeah take your fucking futuristic swill. ]

I tried to stab you the first time I met you.

( thank you he loves it. there's a pause as he holds the bottle, before jason's slamming the corner of the cap against the coffee table, popping it open and tipping it into his lips. )

My temper wasn't great back then either. ( not much better now, but he's trying. ) I wanted to be something I'm not, we all saw how that worked out.

I already told you - my father is delusional. It's impossible to meet his standards. Even if you've trained since birth. Even if you're blood.

[ He won't get a beer, but he will get up again to root through Loki's fridge for food. ]
