[After a rude awakening, Dick - still dressed as Batman, although with his cowl down - hurries excitedly, but not too excitedly - gun shot wound to the back of the head and all - back from Harmony's room to his and Damian's room on the eight floor

[Well, THAT's not what he guessed he would see when he rounded the corner. He does a bit of a double-take to confirm that it's Grayson, first, and not just wishful thinking, and then he blurts out, unimpressed:]

I was about to pronounce you dead and take the cowl.

[knightprodigy]

[He stops, almost skittering to a halt. Eyes wide, before that million dollar smile takes over.]

Damian.

[heirdom]

[Unfortunately, Damian expects grovelling, not smiles. He folds his arms.]

Do you have any idea how long you've been missing?

[knightprodigy]

[But good news, Damian! He has GOOD news!]

Last thing I remember is the turtledoves. [He knows exactly how long he's been gone; Harmony's already filled him in. Not that Damain ever needs to know.]

[haplessing]

[ WELL SHE WAS GOING SOMEWHERE but now she has to stop because holy shit there's batman running past.

....

wait.

is that... dick?

OKAY HOLY FUCK IT'S DICK AS BATMAN RUNNING PAST GLITTERING GLITTER and alright she's just... standing and staring.

what is her life. ]

[knightprodigy]

[OH HEY TAM! He should probably stop and say hello, but speaking to Damian is his utmost priority.]

Hi Tam, can't talk right now! [He's being chased by The Glitters. Obviously.]

Catch you later! [:DDDD HI TAM, BYE TAM!]

[haplessing]

[ just... raising a hand...

still staring... ]

Hi... Dick...

...

Bye Dick..

[ what did she just see ]

yes this icon. no, no reason.

[knightprodigy]

[The Bat-fairy, Tam, the Bat-fairy.]

[knightprodigy]

[Oh, for the love of-] Tim! Hey!

[Come give your brother a hug :D]

[knightprodigy]

[Damn your rational thought process.]

Oh man, it's a long story. [He'll come get his own hug then, or at least drape his arm over Tim's shoulders.] And I owe you an apology. [One hell of an apology.] But it'll have to wait, okay? [Shoulder pat, and he's moving again.] I need to talk to someone first.

[batfail]

[JOINING THE FLOOD... and staring.]

D... ick?

[knightprodigy]

[WORST OBSTACLE COURSE EVER]

Steph! Hey... [Normally he would have continued, but seeing her reminds him of Kara. The two of them were pretty tight too.]

[batfail]

You're not a... statue or whatever anymore. That's...

About. Freakin'. Time.

[knightprodigy]

[Oh that's... yeah.]

Yeah, sorry about that.

[isthenight]

[ And guess who just happens to be stepping out of his room about then? Yup, it's this guy. He raises an eyebrow as he looks at all the glitter, but he seems pretty happy. For Bruce anyways. ]

Welcome back. I was starting to wonder if we'd ever find you.

[knightprodigy]

Bruce! Yeah, I- [awkward neck rub - mindful of bandage thar.] guess I was gone for quite a while, huh.

[isthenight]

Well over a month. You've missed a lot. Damian's been worried, and a little aggravated.

[ A pause, and he leans against the wall. Does he say this now, or does he wait? HMMM... it's probably best to tell him before Damian gets a chance to, since we all know how he feels about Other Robins. ]

Jason's here. Damian found him in a hallway about a month ago. He's about sixteen and seems to bedoing fine, physically at least. From what I've seen, he's adjusting well, but when you get the chance... [ He could probably use some attention from the only person here from his world that he remembers. ;; ]

[knightprodigy]

[Thank God Jason never donned the Batgirl costume for a dare, otherwise he'd be screwed.

Jeez, way to lay it on him, Bruce.]

Jason's back? [and sixteen?! That's... that's not good.] Where is he? [Peers into Bruce's room, just on the off-chance. There's no hiding the concern on his face.] Is he with you?
