Officially, this was the first vacation that Steph has had in...longer than she could actually remember. Money had always been an issue, growing up, and her mother hadn't been able to sacrifice the time or cash involved in vacationing. Steph had understood---understanding why certain things were permanently off the menu was a part of being a good daughter in the Brown household---but it was one of the many things that she'd been quietly resentful about through her teens. Circumstances had pushed her into adulthood from about age twelve on, so between unplanned pregnancies and a blossoming career in vigilantism, she hadn't had time to be a kid---especially one that had the dough to go to the Happiest Place on Earth.
So even though she was a little bit old to live out childhood dreams, and even though she was living the dream with the one person she never would have expected to go on vacation with, she was happy. It was nice to be away---from her responsibilities, from the podunk town she'd landed in, and from Damian, too. She loved

Not that Jason cared or anything, but he was definitely counting this under the 'win' column. Really, it was probably the first thing that he'd done for himself that wasn't in any way some jab at Bruce or the rest of the family. He at least never thought that he'd be doing something with another bat again.
"Yeah, well, I'm no expert, but it kind of seems like Bitty Bat is more of a Debbie Downer than the others." He shrugs. To be quite honest he doesn't really know what Stephanie sees in Damian, but she apparently saw something in him, and that almost made Jason respect him... Almost. He still hadn't seen the guy in action, and just because he could talk the bat-talk, didn't mean he could walk the bat-walk.
Regardless, he was here with Stephanie, and that was kind of awesome. It made this whole... Happiness and creepy mascots everywhere kind of setting tolerable.
