Get you Gone

[cityship]

The meeting is over, the teams have been assigned, the plans have been laid out. It's time to get weapons.

It's time to wish each other luck, and say goodbyes--with the hope that they're only "good bye for now"s.

It's about to get very hairy from here on out.

"Well yeah," Tim said, grinning a little, and relieved Terry hadn't called him on the "getting in trouble" thing. "If you're going to act like one, we may as well call a spade a spade, right? Besides--you're Batman. It kind of makes you part of the family."

Terry was still a bit surprised, but he smiled anyways. It felt... good, having someone call him a part of the family like that. Even though he had stepped up to be Batman in his time, he'd never felt like he was alone in what he did. He wasn't right for the justice league, and most of the more successful heroes thought he was too young to be Batman. Even at home and school he felt out of place, because of his secret and record. Tim may not have known it, but he'd just given him something he'd been trying to find since he first joined the gang, so many years ago - acceptance.

"Hey, wait a minute," he said jokingly, "wouldn't you be the big brother in this? You are, like, what, fifty years older then me?"

Tim blinked in surprise. "That... is an incredibly weird thought, actually. I mean, while it's technically true, standing next to you right now? It's weird to think that you haven't even been born yet in my time." He eyed Terry thoughtfully. "Does this mean I can call you stuff like 'whippersnapper' and complain about kids these days?"

It was just as hard for Terry to imagine that the guy standing in front of him may one day be a tool for the Joker. But he didn't say that.

"Hey, I complain about kids these days. My little brother Matt wants to be a werewolf... and the technology exists so he could be. Well, if he wanted to break the law, that is. But he idolizes Batman, so I don't think it would be too hard to scare him out of that idea," Terry said with a grin. Really, all it would take would be a single visit and stern warning from 'Batman' and he could scare his brother out of any illegal activity. Too bad he never had a threat like that hanging over himself.

"Seriously though, Tim. Be careful. The old man... I mean, Bruce, doesn't need to loose you. Trust me on that. I know how important you were - you are to him. And... I don't wanna to loose a brother."

That past tense... honestly made Tim a little nervous, but he shook it off. There was no point in worrying too much about it. He'd deal with... whatever happened when it happened.

"I will. I promise." He gave him a wry little grin. "I don't really want to be lost. I think I'd like to keep the Robin survival rate at fifty percent, rather than letting the stats drop to twenty-five."
