What: a jailbreak
When: july 7thish
Where: an island prison off the washington coast
Content Warnings: ??

After deciding to do some snooping around Arcadia and dragging in Roy after his arrival, Jason and Roy both ended up knocked out, pulled out of Arcadia, and dropped off on an island off of Washington with a facility on it built to hold metahumans. Fun! Except they're both drowsy and depowered, stuck in cells, and aside from Jason's neural implant, they don't have a way to reach out to others from inside. But hey, at least the guards haven't seen their faces, so it could be worse.

Second oldest. Dick has me beat by --

( lips press together, before he's grinning again. )

Seven years? Hell, Dick's been at it for seventeen years. He's ancient.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle elbows him lightly. ]

Clearly time to retire. Hang it up.

[reneger]

( jason reaches for kyle's arm, to hold it hostage. arms used to elbow him clearly don't deserve to remain in kyle's custody, so this is his now. )

He should. Get a house somewhere nice to fit his flock of Robins. He can sit on the porch in a creaky rocking chair yelling at all the other kids to get off his lawn.

[torchbearer]

[ he grins. ]

With his shawl and nice knitted pillow cases.

[reneger]

And bunny slippers. You can't forget those.

( shittalking dick grayson is one of his favorite passtimes. )

[torchbearer]

And a robe. Probably with an monogram.

[reneger]

Think he'll go with DGW or just DG?

[torchbearer]

DG rolls off the tongue better.

[reneger]

Kyle, ( softly, as jason releases kyle's arm from arm prison. he can have it back. ) I trust you not to fuck it up if I let you move in.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle glances at him. ]

Do you want me to move in?

[reneger]

If you want to.

( an answer that is very purposefully not quite an answer. )

I've got Connor downstairs still.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle's expression tightens for a moment before he sighs. ]

Nah. I'm fine where I am for now and I can travel easily.

[reneger]

( the expression shift is--off, but jason lets it be. closes his eyes and shifts so he's facing forward again, back of his head against kyle's leg. )

Gives me somewhere I can throw you out the window if I wanna, too.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle's grin twitches as he runs his fingers through jason's hair. ]

How is it any fun if I can fly?

[reneger]

It's the purpose behind it, not how quickly you'll ruin it.

( if kyle wasn't a flyer, jason wouldn't throw him. )

Sometimes you piss me off enough to warrant defenestration.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle scoffs. ]

Or sticking you in a hamster ball.

[reneger]

Do it again, an' I'm gonna avoid you for a week. Intentionally, not 'cause I'm busy.

( maybe. or he'll give in. only time will tell. )

You'll be out of people to cuddle.

[torchbearer]

Would I?

Connor's here, I could convince him.

[reneger]

Not if I steal him first.

[torchbearer]

Connor would drive you more nuts than I do.

[reneger]

But it'd be worth it.

( to win. even if he's fairly certain connor wouldn't get in the middle of their stupid fights. )

[torchbearer]

Would it though?

[reneger]

Do you really want to start this with me? 'cause once we start, I'm not gonna stop 'til I win.

( do you want to see the extent of his middle child syndrome, kyle, because that's where this is headed. )

[torchbearer]

And how do you plan on winning?

[reneger]

( he's taking that as challenge issued, since kyle decided he needed to ask--and jason's pulling himself up to his feet, palm against kyle's thigh to steady himself on the way. once he's up, he takes the step over to get to the other side of the couch, as far away from kyle as possible, and throws himself back down onto it. )

By outlasting you. I know you like to cuddle, and I ( well. he's a little touch-starved, actually, but that's fine, because he's used to it. ) can do without.
