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.

[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.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle raises an eyebrow at the very dramatic (though not quite) flounce off. ]

I do like to cuddle.

[ he leans back as a construct of jason appears, curling his arms around kyle. ]

But I can find a way.

[reneger]

( that's almost cute. almost. it does have jason raising a brow, eyeing his replica for a moment before his eyes find kyle's again. )

Knew green really wasn't my color.

[torchbearer]

I don't know. It could work.

[reneger]

Doesn't go with my skin tone. But--

( his hand raises. gestures over towards jason the second. jason the third? whichever. )

Feel free to use my likeness all you want.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle squints. ]

Really?

[reneger]

( kyle squints. which has jason squinting back, silent for a moment before he returns it with-- )

Not for kinky shit.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle splutters. ]

Of course not!

[reneger]

( and jason cackles, slouching into the couch a little deeper. )

Then sure, use me all you want.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle is going to throw a pillow at him in disgust. ]

[reneger]

( the pillow whacks him in the face, but it doesn't take the grin off of jason's face. )

You're the one who made that face.

[torchbearer]

Making a face isn't the same as going there!

[reneger]

Then what was the face for? Where'd your head go?

( now he's just fucking with him for fun. )

[torchbearer]

It definitely didn't go there.

I just thought it was odd how chill you were.

[reneger]

( no one, in the history of the world, would ever call jason chill. and the comment is enough that it has him - quieting down while he mulls it over. he guesses the do whatever could come across as being chill, even if it's not quite that for him. )

I'm the least chill person in this entire building - an' that's saying something, cause the guy upstairs is neurotic as hell, Damian kinda lives here, and there's Bucky and the new girl downstairs.

( downstairs is irrelevant, it's more damian and tony that he's really referring to. and kyle, who'd just attacked a prison with zoids. )

I trust you not to be an ass, it's different. ( and he's too tired to really give a shit right now. there's too much going on outside of kyle. )

[torchbearer]

[ that is a lot of words for a throwaway statement by kyle. he seems to absorb this for a moment. ]

Yeah. You can trust me.

[reneger]

I know.

( he almost adds in a i can always kill you if you fuck me over but opts to leave it out. some things are better left unsaid and all. )

Which's how I know I'll win.

[torchbearer]

Like you won last time?

[reneger]

That was different. You caught me off guard, 's not gonna happen again. Now I'm expecting it.

( the sudden feelings drops in the middle of a game of chicken. the soft touches. he's got kyle's number now. jason won't get that caught off guard again. )

[torchbearer]

[ kyle smiles faintly, bemused. ]

You are, huh? Guess I'll have to change the game.

[reneger]

( jason--scrunches up his nose, before folding his arms back behind his head so he can lean back against his hands. )

You've got nothing on me, glowstick. You're all out of advantages.

[torchbearer]

[ this is very funny. ]

Okay. If you say so.

[reneger]

( this is shit. he hates this. )

What?
