Building a family [hella open]

[top-teen-38.livejournal.com]

 Slobo had been puttering around the ship for an hour, thinking and looking. He quickly found that if you looked hard enough, between W&P and the City itself, you could find anything. In the end, he was standing outside a Courtyard by Marriott hotel about a click outside of "Escherville" with spraypaint and a very large block of stone. At first he had thought about the Vatican, but it was too wrecked from the zombie fight. Plus, this place had an indoor pool. He spraypainted a large message on the wall next to the door, red with black outline.

"OUTSIDERS
COMMUNITY SERVICE
FIELD TRAINING

PEER COUNSELING" 

 

On the sandwich board tucked near the door, he wrote "12-21? Info and Tryouts inside" and left it out in front. Now, he took his large rock into the lobby and began carving. And waited.

Bruce still regards the scene with vague amusement. Follow their lead? What exactly were the Batfamily, those who were present on the ship, if not an outsider group?

"You're forgetting that the League, the Society and the Titans all answered to international legislation. We were part of the community we wanted to protect, and we answered to them when we needed to."

He looks at both of them, and conceeds, "I have no intention of preventing either of you from building this. I just thought when someone with nearly two decades of experience in this field starts talking, you might actually consider listening, and think about the consequences for people other than yourselves. I can't help you until you start listening."

He turns to walk away, "One more thing you ought to think about. The current system is built upon trust and trust alone. You know what happened when the last group of people who thought the crew didn't understand them decided to act upon their own authority? They shot people. We're an endangered species, boys. Don't let it go that far."

"I don't plan on having our group fight the system at all, Batman. In fact, one of the big things I want to build here is more trust. Trust in each other, and by extension, trust in the ship. Stacy still needs a lot of repair work; I'm almost done with the bridge, then I've got more sensors to fix here in the city and the corridor we pretty much decimated. Having 'real' Stacy in charge and loosening up the rules a bit, I think, is going to give a lot of people the impression our command structure doesn't exist anymore, or that it only effects certain people, like the older...recruits. I want to try and change that. And I'll take whatever advice you can give us, as long as you try not to skirt around your points. It makes it a bit hard to follow." He said the last part with a little smile.

... yep, he's already gone. It is his trademark, after all.

"Alright, I hate ta admit it, but that was so fraggin' unbelievably cool." Slobo looked at Static. "Seriously,I didn't even hear 'im leave. That's great." His grin fell a little seeing Static's expression.

"We know what we're doin', Shocky. Don't worry, I'm gettin' a better idea the more I think about it."

"You know, people wonder why he doesn't have many friends, when he goes around disappearing while you're in mid sentence. I wonder how Superman puts up with that..." He shook his head.

"We'll manage. After all, we always have before, right?"
