The cards are faster than an opponent would think, their bulky bodies able to take long broad steps. Now they're bearing down on Lili. She's good, but there are many, and when a guard raises an ax to bear down upon her, a metallic shot rings out. What looks like a zipline speeds down, shooting straight through the card's cookie-cut belly before sticking into the ground. The card barely notices, until it becomes obvious the other end of the zipline is secured to one of the garden pillars.

The Card Guard looks amusing as it rams against the incredibly strong rope, it's like a fish out of water. A fish out of water just gutted in the face, as a batarang finds itself lodged in its head, and promptly explodes.

Two more batarangs find themselves stuck in cards who are quickly approaching behind the first, and Damian-- no Robin/i>-- drops down in front of the girl. "Stay close!" His hood is up, he's dressed to the nines, his voice is just offkilter. He's good at 'voices.' Sup Lili.

Too bad he wants those details. He's stressed, he's angry, he doesn't perform well under stress and anger. Jason was right when he commented on it-- Damian lets his anger cloud him, far too much. He's so aggravated, there seems little point in hiding much of anything, not when she now knows he's Robin.

"They were arguing because Mother had recently kidnapped the British Prime Minister's wife."

Him giving up details at least makes her more likely to say something instead of brushing it off. Lili and Damian can at least match up in that aspect, both let their emotions get ahold of them far too easily. Lili's differences lay in the fact she's been trained to use those feelings to make power out of them or to push them down to think more clearly.

Being a twelve year old hormonal girl- sort of clouds the chances she has of thinking most of the time though. Its why she pretty much just lets her next questions slide out.

"Is- that a hobby your mom enjoyed? Kidnapping people?" No real judgement here, Lili's father was always getting kidnapped, so this was a normal situation for her.

Before he can pounce on her for details, she supplies them. "My memory, was from a F3 trip, Sasha went crazy, killed me and everyone else."

But he isn't terribly good at reading people, and his eyes narrow again, at the question. Plus it was his mother doing the kidnapping. "If the occasion calls for it, then yes. I think she preferred it over the monotony of hits-- and father was present. I think she enjoyed herself."

That information doesn't look good though, he can't very well go beat the shit out of Sasha can he. Instead he grits his teeth, "How long ago?"

Lili outwardly 'wrinkles' her nose at the explanation. "Well, its a good thing we weren't from the same world, she probably would have kidnapped my dad a few times." She shrugs a little, willing to let it go since- lets not get on the subject of mothers around here.

He could try and see the horrible consequences of that. Lili is crossing her arms over her chest now, keeping her answer on this a little shorter. "Half a year ago, way before he adopted me."

"Why. Who is your father?" He asks, coldly, still ruffled from the exchange, but nevertheless curious.

Oh, he does, he's very aware of how that would go over, but the knowledge of it doesn't sit well with him. Half a year is a long time, he's been here a long time. He shakes his head, displeased but there isn't anything to say about it, nothing but to feel the cold stab in his gut from past wounds given by Sasha Nein.

"He's in charge of Psychonauts. The Grand Head, which is why he gets kidnapped a lot." She's taking it in stride since- it could be a lot worse. She's gotten the memories shuffled away after all, the feelings dribbling from the memories are contained again.

"Just forget about it, okay?" She almost reaches out for him, stopping before actually touching him since they already swapped memories once. "Its over with now,"
