[ The camera's out of focus at first, and all anyone can see is a huge swirl of bright colors. It looks like a 3 year old copied a van Gogh. With finger paints

"Hey, those colours are totally rockin', you know." It's Tim's voice, but with a stronger affectation of the Gotham accent. And it's Tim walking around the end of the bus (it's a bus, Kon) and leaning against the corner, but he's wearing shades, a grey beanie cap and a dark red bomber jacket with a yellow stripe.
Since there are non-Titans on the trip, Tim has decided to go as Alvin Draper.
"Groovy, Al." Kon half-replies, half-corrects. "And I only have to call it a bus when I'm making a joke."
He can't decide which part of the getup to mock. He thinks the bomber jacket might be the worst. There's a Michael-Jackson-in-Thriller vibe to it. "You know you're only making everything more complicated. And you're so not driving."
"Groovy, right. And you can call it a car all you want, but a bus by any other name is still a bus." Tim shrugs, and blithely mangles a Shakespeare quote.
At least there are no sequins or oversized gold necklaces in sight. "It ain't that complicated, you'll cope. Now, who crashed who's car recently, may I ask?"
"I didn't mean the v- bus, and that was an accident. I meant the whole, oh-this-is-my-friend-from-school-who's-totally-cool-with-the-green-dog-cum-green-human-sticking-his-head-out-the-window thing that you're adding to the whole trip."
"I know." Tim pushes down his shades to look at Kon over them, answering more seriously. "Look, people with powers have been around for long enough that at least some of the people in the City have gotten used to it. I don't think it's unreasonable to pass myself off as one of the more accepting teenagers around."
"Yeah, yeah. It's just weird that you're pretending to expose people's identities to protect identities. Like why be a civilian at all? Why not just make up another hero identity?"
"And what, sit around in spandex all the time? At that point I might as well just go as Red Robin." He huffs out a sigh and pushes back the beanie. "I don't know, I'm just not... that comfortable exposing my identity."

Practical jokes rarely wait for permission.
"Hrrr. Okay, no. I didn't exactly mean that either." And Red Robin was pretty much out of the question. Kon didn't want Tim to be miserable, anyway. "Al's cool. He just dresses like it's 1999."

Hit as hard as you want. Kon figures the cane will break first.
"He could've borrowed some of my clothes," he pointed out. "And Mr. Sarcastic... I finally had it figured out. You were, like, deliberately making up THE worst possible outfit so everyone would be endlessly distracted."

"Okay, so maybe he's a little behind the times." Tim raises his eyebrow and looks amused. "Better than Mr. Sarcastic, though."
