.......what?

He's gone?!

[But...but...he was the nice one!]

[beyondthecowl]

[The nice one, eh? Guess he wasn't nice enough for you to swap spit with, huh Harley?]

Yes, Harley. He's gone. It's probably for the best.

[crazyclownwoman]

[Hey. She thinks you're sweet too, "sometimes" Batboy. But, Dick trying to help her in the last event. And promised he'd try to help her later.]

Oh....

[Just ...sad face. Why couldn't they take Lex instead? Or someone else she didn't care about.]

Yeah......at least he's home now....

[Not even going to 'touch' on the idea that they might not be.]

[beyondthecowl]

[Now you know he really doesn't give half a shit what anyone thinks of him, Harls. But he'd probably appreciate knowing that.]

Hopefully. But who can tell for sure?

[brbgoing2russia]

Yeah, that happens sometimes.

Unless you meant... like, for good?

[beyondthecowl]

[Oh, Misfit.]

I meant permanently . . . he's gone for good.

[brbgoing2russia]

Oh. Bummer. He seemed- Babs always said- I mean- Well she never really said but you just kind of could tell but Dinah said- [Okay, stop. Let's try this again Misfit.]

D'ya think he's in that thing in the Dairy?

[You're too cute when you're all flustered, Misfit.]

I should certainly hope not. Anyway, I doubt it.

E. (When is this guy *ever* antagonistic?)

[puzzlerprince]

[Answer: Definitely not when he's still droned. Now, here's another question: What is a cheery, chipper, droned Edward Nigma doing here at Makeout Point? Well, it looks like he's taken quite a liking to your car, Bats, so he decided to tail you and ask about it. And once you step out of the car, he steps out as well, on his way to greet you.]

That's a mighty fine chariot you've got there, stranger. Still can't say the same about those wacky threads.

I know--I KNOW--you did not just go there Mister ;p

[beyondthecowl]

[It's ironic that whenever the Bat wants to be alone, people always come and bother him. Although, he's starting to accept that he'll never truly be alone here.

He sighs exasperatedly and glares at Edward.]

Not tonight, Nigma. What do you want now?

[puzzlerprince]

[That glare just bounces right off Drone!Eddie, who laughs jovially.]

Don't have a cow, Daddy-O. Just wanted to get a closer look at your hot rod, that's all. My son sure seemed crazy about it the last time you were in my neighborhood.

[beyondthecowl]

[And his scowl just deepens.]

All right, you've gotten your "closer look". It's time to go home now.

[He's totally grabbing Drone!Eddie by the shoulders and spinning him around, pushing him towards the trail leading up the mountain. He's gathered that there's obviously something wrong with Eddie; but right now, he doesn't give half a damn to try to find out what it is--not that he'd get a straight answer anyway.]

[beyondthecowl]

[Oh hey, it's the young lady from before. He'd really rather she not see him like this.

He starts to say "yes", but realizing he hates it when people lie to him, he thinks twice about that answer.]

No. I'm not.

My son--today I lost my son.

[Totally just said too much. Oops.]

Sorry. You probably came up here to be alone. I should get going . . .

[poisonivyforyou]

[...Not even Ivy herself could resist Dick's charm.]

At least he won't have to suffer more.

[beyondthecowl]

[Eyebrow quirk.]

I thought you were beyond empathy, Ivy.

[poisonivyforyou]

We can pretend I was using sarcasm if that'd make it easier for you. OR maybe, just maybe, I know how I would feel if that happened to Harley and-

[...No. Just Harley.]

Whatever fits your boat.

[beyondthecowl]

How thoughtful of you. You'll forgive me for not buying it, I hope.
