cloned | 21.2 What makes you happy/laugh?

I'm happy that Bart's moved in with me. I missed him. And he wasn't taking care of himself. I don't care how grown up he is now, I'm glad he's somewhere where I can keep an eye on him. I mean, sure he can take care of himself, but how do I know that he will? He was living in a motel when I found him! A frigging motel! And I still can't shake the feeling that if I leave him alone for a minute, or blink or anything, he'll run away. He's gotta stop worrying that we like him. When is he gonna realize that we all love him and we want him around and I wouldn't have invited him to freaking live with me if I didn't!

Still, it's pretty cool sharing a house with your best friend. Maybe we can convince Tim to move in with us too. That would be sweet.

Steph makes me laugh. How did I not hang out with her back before I died? She's so much fun! I mean, she's kinda like Tim, only hotter. And not nearly as weird. And less likely to become an evil scientist. (No offense, Tim.)

Man, I cannot see how Tim let her go. I mean, I love Cissie. She's one of my best friends, and she and Tim are apparently doing absolutely great.

But man, Steph.

1) It's still Gotham, which has nothing on Hawaii.

2) ...aw, man! Now I'm gonna be imagining if Cissie thought girls were hotter for the rest of the night. Which, okay, not exactly bad images. Still.

3) You just don't usually do it! And I don't think you could act like a "real boy" if your life depended on it.

4) It's okay. ~~But you could open up to me every once in a while. I wouldn't let you down.~~

1) Speak for yourself. I like it here. ...Though Hawaii is nice, yes. And it doesn't get cold there unless you head up to Mauna Kea or something, which is a definite benefit.

2) Fantasizing about my girlfriend may also eanrn you a beat-down. ::mock-glower::

3) Dude, I survive high school five days a week pretending to be a "real boy." I think I manage.

4) ~~I know you wouldn't. As lame as it sounds--it's not you, it's me.~~

1) Heh, Bart wouldn't believe me when I said we could go skiing and surfing in one day.

2) Your fault! You've gotta beat yourself down for putting the thoughts in my head! She and Cassie were always pretty close, don't you think?

3) Gee, and I'm sure you do a terrific job at it too.

4) ~~Yeah, strange as it sounds, I know.~~

1) You should show him. Also, tell him that Hawaii has all the climates of the world but one--and I think the one is tundra.

2) ...I think I need bleach for my brain now.

3) Hey, it's worked for five years now. Don't knock it.

4) ~~I'll try to be better.~~

1) Yeah, that sounds about right. You prefer your single-climated city to that? And, I'd like to point out, that single climate is not tundra. So don't use that excuse!

2) Are you sure you're really a boy?

3) Yeah, well, the Smallville kids didn't recognize me when I wore glasses. I doubt they're a hard sell.

4) ~~Thanks.~~

1) I've stopped trying to explain to non-Gothamites why we choose to stay here. I love my city. Can't help it. It's home.

2) I could check...

3) ::snicker:: Yeah, I don't have a ton of faith in Gotham kids either. A pair of glasses made me unrecognizable, too.

1) You are crazy. Hawaii, man. Hawaii.

2) I really hope you don't have to.

3) When did you wear glasses?

1) Yes, Hawaii. It's beautiful, don't get me wrong, but... Gotham an be beautiful too, sometimes. It's just harder to see.

2) Dude. No.

3) When I went to boarding school I wore glasses. It was after that fiasco with No Man's Land, with that dumb thing that Dad did, so everyone and their cousin knew what I looked like. I got glasses to look like someone else so I didn't have to deal with it.

1) *sigh* crazy bats.

2) Oh, good.

3) But that's just you trying to look different from you. I mean, you didn't care if they still knew you were Tim Drake, you just didn't want to be instantly recognizable.

1) Bats aren't the only Gothamites who like it here. I think the Police Commissioner does, too.

3) Well, yes, but the principle was the same. They knew I was Tim Drake, but they didn't associate me with the Tim Drake that got lost during No Man's Land. ~~I was not lost.~~

You do not count 1 3. That's just wrong. I'm giving up on numbers.

I think he counts as a Bat. He does enforce laws and deals with the superstitious and cowardly lot that are criminals.

Hey, I remember that! You, me, Bart, Lagoon Boy. Those were some fun times...

Hmm. He is an honorary member of the family. Kind of like a step-dad or an in-law.

Yeah, and the fun of waxing Batmobiles after was awesome... Plus--I got stuck in Gotham during NML. Dad freaked. That sucked.

Isn't he Batgirl's dad or something?

The Batmobile is awesome. Can I drive one? You let Bart drive it.

Aw, sucks, dude.

Batgirl's dad is a psycho and a murderer.

No one drives the Batmobile. I learned my lesson with Bart.

No, I know that, I mean the other one. Agh, I don't know. I've gotta stop reading internet rumors. I would have ignored it if it hadn't crashed about five minutes after it went up.

Batman does. And I am a far more responsible driver than Bart.

Oracle doesn't like people speculating about our families.

Well--he does. And Nightwing. And me, for that matter. It's a family car.

That explains it.

Oh, come on! I'm like a brother to you!

That may be, but you're not like a son to Batman, and therein lies the rub.

You're gonna teach Bart to fly the Batplane!

You want to learn how to fly the plane? Feels a little pointless to me, but I can teach you...

Hey, just cause I can fly on my own doesn't mean it wouldn't be wicked cool.

Sure, then. I'll teach you. ::grin::

Just don't tell Batman.

Oh, trust me, I won't.

Thank you. I'd probably be grounded for the rest of my natural life.

Batman's scary like that.

You don't really have to teach me. I'm faster than any damn plane as it is. And I'd probably cheat and use my TTK anyway.
