Terry had to take a moment to adjust to the 'flying beastie' comment. Practically everything flew - or at least hovered - in his time. He had to remember that that wasn't the norm everywhere, and that people on the ship might not be familiar with a jet.
"Yeah, jets are the fast planes. This gets up to Mach 3..." he paused, trying to remember physics class and what exactly that meant. "Which is faster then the speed of sound, I think. But I've only had to go that fast once or twice. It'd be pretty bad if I went that fast in the city."
He looked around for a moment, making sure the boss wasn't around to hear him say what he said next. The ship was big enough that he didn't run into Bruce a lot, but the old man had always had a habit of showing up right when Terry said something disparaging back home, and it had trained him to be paranoid. "Well, Bruce kind of names everything after bats. Batmobile, batarang, it's nuts. Guy has some serious issues."
