Private Chat – Silent_Killer & SleepInsomniac
Silent_Killer: 🏠️ 🫵
Silent_Killer: ❓️❔ 🫵?
SleepInsomniac: Hey Cass!
SleepInsomniac: I’m at my nest. Lucius sent over some files he wanted me to look over and review. Any reason?
Silent_Killer: 🍿🎥 🌃. 👪️ 📍.👉️👫
SleepInsomniac: Movie night huh? Who’s picking?
Silent_Killer: 💡
SleepInsomniac: Duke? Finally someone’s taste I can get behind. If it were Jason I’d rather go on patrol and get shot than sit through another historical movie.
SleepInsomniac:...please don’t tell him I said that, he’ll murder me when he visits in three days 😭
Silent_Killer: ❌️ 😟. 🤭 ✅ 🙋.
SleepInsomniac: You’re the best older sister Cass, anyone ever told you that? Anyways, I’ll be there as soon as I finish reading all these papers. I guess Alfie wants us all for dinner too?
Silent_Killer: ✅
SleepInsomniac: I’ll seeya there!
Silent_Killer: 👁️ 🫵 🔜 🤏 👦
Group Chat: Traumatized Batkids
BitewingApologist: Tim
BitewingApologist: Tim
BitewingApologist: Timmy
BitewingApologist: My favorite Victorian ghost
BitewingApologist: Baby bird
SleepInsomniac: Ffs Dick, someone better be dying right about now!
LiteraryNerd: I can confidently say it’s not me this time.
SleepInsomniac: Choosing to ignore that. What’s wrong Dick? What do you want?
BitewingApologist: How does one become an honorary member of the Batgirls?
SleepInsomniac: ?
LiteraryNerd: ?
TheBloodSon: Grayson, what are you babbling about this time?
SleepInsomniac: Where is this coming from?
BitewingApologist: So on the day Babs and I…reconnected properly Jason made a comment while he and Duke were reviewing footage, to which Cass replied that the Clock Tower was for the Batgirls.
TheBloodSon: That does make sense. Gordon was the original Batgirl before Brown and Cain, and then she trained them when she became Oracle, and her base is the Clock Tower.
BitewingApologist: Yep! Anyway, Jason then pointed to me and asked why I was here and I said I was an honorary member.
SleepInsomniac: Let me guess, all three of them said no?
BitewingApologist: 😭
BitewingApologist: And later Cass said there was only one honorary member and that’s you Timmy. So I gotta ask, how did you become an honorary Batgirl?
SleepInsomniac:.....
TheBloodSon: Tt
LiteraryNerd: Dickhead, use your brain. It’s quite obvious.
BitewingApologist: WDYM BY THAT???
SleepInsomniac: Dick
SleepInsomniac: My eldest, dearest brother
SleepInsomniac: I love you, second to Jason–
LiteraryNerd: HAH!
SleepInsomniac: But it’s kinda obvious. I dated Steph once upon a time, me and Cass are practically attached to the hip, and you and Babs were my co–parents. Plus you’ve seen the three of us hang out a lot during patrol.
LiteraryNerd: I can vouch. I’ve seen those three get into a shit ton of chaos together that usually ends with Tim activating his tazer on his staff, Steph throwing glitter smoke bombs and Cass disposing of their unconscious bodies.
BitewingApologist: ……
TheBloodSon: ……
SleepInsomniac: …….
ChaosQueen: …..
Silent_Killer: 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
BitewingApologist: TIM? STEPH? CASS!?!? HOW LONG HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN TAZING THUGS BEHIND OUR BACK?!!?!?
TheBloodSon: Tt. And no one thought of inviting me!?!?!
BitewingApologist: DAMIAN YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT JOINING THEM! I EXPECTED THIS FROM TIMMY AND STEPH! BUT CASS!?!?
ChaosQueen: JASON??? HOW TF DO YOU KNOW!?!?
LiteraryNerd: TF HOW DO I KNOW? BLONDIE CRIME ALLEY IS MY TURF, REMEMBER??? IT’D BE MORE CONCERNING IF I DIDN’T KNOW!
ChaosQueen: …oh, right. But you gotta admit Crime Alley’s crime rates have gone significantly down thanks to us.
LiteraryNerd: Something you’ll never hear me say.
BitewingApologist: I think we’ve gotten off topic.
SleepInsomniac: No, not really?
Silent_Killer: 🙅♀️ 🚪👥. 😕
BitewingApologist: I miss being an only child.
LiteraryNerd: And they call me the dramatic one.
TheBloodSon: Stop being dramatic, Grayson.
SleepInsomniac: Sorry Dick. Better luck next time. And don’t worry, we’ve called the GCPD every time we’ve stopped a mugging. You can calm your heart down.
BitewingApologist: Yeah yeah, I figured. You guys are gremlins, but at least you aren’t terrorists.
ChaosQueen: Though I don’t mind setting a few buildings on fire.
BitewingApologist: STEPH NO-!
Private Chat – Lightbulb & TheBloodSon
Lightbulb: Damian? Are you in school right now? I don’t see you at the cafeteria.
TheBloodSon: No Thomas. I had to be sent to the nurse a few hours ago for a sprained ankle. I told them it was nothing and I could take care of it myself, but she hadn’t listened and called Father to pick me up.
Lightbulb: You sprained your ankle?? What did you do??
TheBloodSon: Badminton. I made an error in my landing and put too much weight onto my right leg. Coach helped me sit on the bleachers and checked my ankle and said it needed to be checked with how much it had swollen up.
Lightbulb: Sheesh, dude. You ok? What did Bruce say?
TheBloodSon: I shall be ok in a week, according to Thompkins. Father, meanwhile, has benched me until further notice.
Lightbulb: That’s good–
TheBloodSon: Which is stupid–
TheBloodSon: …..
Lightbulb: …..
Lightbulb: Stupid?
TheBloodSon: Thomas, I am the heir to the Demon, whether I like it or not. I have trained under the League rigorously. I have been told to fight even with blood dripping all over my body. A simple sprain won’t take me down.
Lightbulb: !?
Lightbulb: That’s messed up?? You’re still a child???
TheBloodSon: Call me a child once again and you shall answer to my katana Thomas.
Lightbulb: Sheesh, ok. But you do know Bruce benched you because he doesn’t want you to get injured further, right? He wants to keep you safe.
TheBloodSon: Tt. The only people that need protection are the rogues that have yet to taste my blade. A sprained ankle will hardly slow me down.
Lightbulb: You really are something aren’t you?
TheBloodSon: Whatever does that mean, Thomas?
Lightbulb: Nothing. Listen, since you’re benched for the week, how about we watch animal documentaries and you help me with homework and I’ll help you with your art projects? If you keep yourself busy you won’t notice the time passing by, and bam! One week gone by in a matter of a minute.
TheBloodSon: The offer does sound…tempting. I do need a new muse to paint, and I have been running out of subject material. Although I have been meaning to attempt to paint Goliath…
Lightbulb: I can use my powers to help capture light the way you want it.
TheBloodSon: Deal. I shall repay you later in not just homework. I shall see you later in my room Thomas so that we may discuss further details.
Lightbulb: You’re welcome, you little gremlin 😄
Private Chat – ISeeEverything & LiteraryNerd
ISeeEverything: Jason? I can see your feed through your helmet. What are you doing?
LiteraryNerd: Stakeout Babs. Timberlina’s at my apartment cracking some files and uploading codes into my HUD.
ISeeEverything: Your cases overlapped again I guess?
LiteraryNerd: Yep. We’re close to busting a major trafficking scheme taking root here. Hopefully by the end of their week their operation will be smoking up in flames.
LiteraryNerd: Is there anything you need, Barbie?
ISeeEverything: Well, since it’s only a stakeout and you’re not on comms with Tim…
ISeeEverything: Remember those ‘files’ you asked for last week?
LiteraryNerd: Are you perchance talking about those secret files you said you’d give me when I swung by?
LiteraryNerd: 😁
LiteraryNerd: GIMME GIMME GIMME RIGHT NOW!!!!!
LiteraryNerd: I’m making metaphorical grabby hands at you.
ISeeEverything: It’s being uploaded to your phone as we talk.
LiteraryNerd: Have I told you you’re a godsend? Dickie bird doesn’t deserve someone as superior as you.
ISeeEverything: That’s what Damian told me a while back too. What can I say? Your older brother may be a massive dork, but he does have his charms.
LiteraryNerd: Yeah, for redheads specifically.
ISeeEverything sent a file
LiteraryNerd: Oh! The file’s here!
ISeeEverything: You gonna look at now or after patrol?
LiteraryNerd: Sadly after. This stakeout is important, and I can’t let this go. Buttttt…….
ISeeEverything: But?
LiteraryNerd: Everything on the file is about Dick and Bruce, right?
ISeeEverything: Yep.
LiteraryNerd: And I know we banned Dick from the Challenge of Champions because nothing embarrasses him.
ISeeEverything: Jason, where are you going with this?
LiteraryNerd: In three days, let’s air it to everyone he knows and to the rest of the family in the living room and have everyone react at the same time. I know for a fact that Kori and Roy’s reactions, including the rest of the Titans will kill him.
ISeeEverything: And if Bruce finds out?
LiteraryNerd: Let him. Idgaf lol.
ISeeEverything: I hate that I’m saying this now but…
ISeeEverything: Jason, you truly are an evil mastermind at times.
LiteraryNerd: Of course I am. How else did you think I built my reputation as a crime lord back in the yee ol’ days?
LiteraryNerd: Ooh! I gotta bolt, the peeps are moving. Tim just sent me some urgent files too.
ISeeEverything: Go, go. We can plan tomorrow once you’re back at the Manor.
LiteraryNerd: Thanks Babs! Will catch ya later.
