i'm okay. it's better for him to be home. even
gotham's better than this place. he might get in trouble but at least he
won't have a line down his neck anymore. who are you signing with?
Nothing happened. I want you to be comfortable here and find friends that you can be comfortable with. We have no idea how long we'll be here but some have been here for years.
I was just concerned about some comments I saw and then doing a bit of research.
[ No one thought he wouldn't go through the network as it suited his needs, right? ]
The girl that admitted to trying to firebomb the LIERs office? It's not her first time causing public destruction.
Her loss then. Though in fairness she didn't like me very much either. Apparently she knew me before and came at me with details. I refused to admit to anything, including any possible aliases. She didn't seem thrilled.
If she really knew you, that wouldn't have surprised her. Look how long it told you to tell us you were Robin. You saw me naked before you told me you were Robin, that's...
You know, you could maybe be a little more forthcoming.
Like just a little. People don't always see how cool you are at first.
i'm not saying tell people about capes. but maybe,
like, it wouldn't hurt to tell them other things. like where you're from
and what you like, and what your favorite colour is
that kind of thing. like friendly things. trust me
i'm definitely not the only one who thinks you're cool, rachel is like your
biggest fan. and i told conner some good stories about you, i'm just
saying.
my point is: it's okay to make friends, they don't
always need to know everything. but they can know some things.
I admit I'm from Gotham... okay to Harley who already knew, but still.
Do you know what my favorite color is? Just out of curiosity.
I'm glad you think so, Gar. I really am.
[ Especially with the bad choices he's made. ]
I'm not against making friends. I might even be trying, and not just those that know me and my secrets. But I will try and be more friendly. As best I can.
i hope so. i don't like the thought of you being
alone again, you know?
[ He doesn't suit it, for all that he's done it to himself more than
once. Dick suits having his team around him. Or maybe that's just Gar,
projecting his own feelings about the Titans onto its other
members. ]
you've never told me your favourite colour. is it
blue? your new suit is blue
I'm not alone. I've got you, don't I? Besides, there's others here I spend time with.
And... I've been thinking that maybe Tim left me the center for a reason. With everything in the down as bad as it can be, while there's others I was thinking that a team of titans here might not be a bad idea.
Yeah, it's blue. I wanted the new one to be more me and not who I was to him.

[ Even as much as he wishes he could be there for him, to help him, he knows he can't do as much as he wishes he could here. ]
Her name's Gwen. I met her like the day I arrived and we've been talking since then.
no subject
gwen stacy?
no subject
Yeah, that's her. You know her?
no subject
[ He knows Dick's carrying guilt over what happened back home. That doesn't mean it's up to him to fix everything that's happened here. ]
but of course i know gwen, she owns the arcade i work in! she's my boss, dude
no subject
And while we're both here, I'm still your team leader, so it's my job to take care of you.
no subject
i'm really glad you found someone good.
i've been okay, dick. is something wrong?
no subject
Just checking in on you. Everything's still going well?
I want to know it's all okay and that you aren't having troubles with anyone, and that you're not befriending those that might get you in trouble.
no subject
[ ... ]
something did happen. who are you worried about?
no subject

no subject
but it's okay, i mean. if you're worried about her, i don't think she liked me very much. too many questions.
[ None of which he thought were unreasonable, but Hope clearly hadn't agreed. ]
encrypted; (more than his standard)

no subject
How much more forthcoming? I'm not admitting things to strangers, but a few here know who I am.
[ He hadn't told them but he is still kind of open. Kind of. ]
You know you might be the only person that thinks I'm cool, right?

no subject
maybe every place needs its own titans. i know i'd like that
you do have me. i'll be there, i'm really glad we have each other here. we have to do our friends proud.
no subject
Good. I admit, I just assumed you were in.
Yeah. Even if I would send you home in a second if I had a chance. Worry about you here.
no subject
i know. you always worry
i'm okay though. I've gotten through worse than this place, we both have. pretty recently, even. i think we're doing okay.
no subject
Honestly, I think we are too. There's horror stories though, and I just hope things stay pretty good.
We should look into getting you something to wear for patrols.
no subject
you mean like a suit?
dude that'd be so badass. but what if i need to change?
no subject
[he wants gar to feel like he's part of the team, after all. Here or there. He knows he hasn't always been good about that.]
I'm going to find a way to ask around. With all the tech here, and everything else here, someone might be able to help.
