okay but my not being contracted that way is why i almost died at camp harmony

fun fact? strangulation: not my kink.

Jesus, Gar.
You need to at least make consistent friends then.

[ Because he assumes he has every plan to stay with Daphne, and he gets that. ]

I get it though. I'm trying.
I'm going to look more fully to find a submissive I'm close to.

i know. i need to stop acting like they're gonna let me get away with being with one girl who's another submissive

i just never thought that would be me, you know? i really like anna, i want to be loyal to her

but that's stupid. at least it's stupid here. just don't be like me, okay?

I wish they would. I really wish they would accept that.
But that doesn't mean you have to dive headfirst into this place, either.
Just remember that.

You can be loyal to her, and not let this place kill you. Loyalty isn't just about sex, Gar. There's other ways to do it, to show her that.

Yeah, I'll do my best not to. I mean, I can tell you the last person I had serious feelings for and it's been a long time. A very long time.

is this the part where you tell me that you and dawn had a thing like it's a revelation, because dick i gotta tell you

we know

There was someone else besides Dawn.
Also she and I are circumspect for Hank's sake, thank you. He was there, no sense rubbing his nose in it.

okay you're not THAT circumspect
and they're not a thing now anyway

but
what do you mean there was someone else? are you talking about kory?

She was a long time ago. We've been broken up for a while. She's back in Gotham.

But I will work it out and I won't be like you. Though you'll work it out, won't you?

yeah, i mean i'm trying to

who are you talking about though, who's back in gotham?

Her name's Barbara. We were close for a while.

oh.
but you aren't together now?

No. We haven't been for a lot of years.

We couldn't make it work.

i'm sorry.
do you still like her?

Thank you.
I think I always will. There's a lot between us though.

like, more than you want to work out?

Like more than I think we can. I'm not giving up what I do. I've learned that. It would have meant losing you and Rachel, for one.

wait, so she wanted you to stop being nightwing?

or robin, i guess?

I don't know if that is what she wanted. I left before things could get to that.

She stayed on as Batgirl and things didn't go well after that.

oh my god you dated batgirl

it's just

i mean you left for like a year, and you were trying to leave robin behind
before you met rachel

why weren't you with her then?

We didn't see eye to eye about a lot of things. Including Bruce.

After I left, she was injured and had to retire the uniform. We just haven't talked in a long time.

i'm sorry

do you still miss her?

Of course I do. I'm just not sure we can be good for one another.

so why do you think there hasn't been anyone serious since then?

Because I've been too busy making a life for myself outside of Gotham and not really in a position where I can let anyone in.

And then I met Rachel and you know how my life changed since then.

yeah, i know.

i'm just saying, maybe it's okay to let people in
like maybe not to a secret identities and titans tower level, but
you know
a little bit.
