[ kyle deploys a construct to help clean up. ]

Dick and I were never super close. But sure, I'll do what I can.

[reneger]

Do you think he and I were any better?

( the look he shoots kyle is almost--incredulous. luckily the domino mask covers most of it. )

I met him a couple times as a kid, an' then I died. Came back, tried to fuck him over multiple times--hell. I've only been on his tolerate list for a few years now.

[torchbearer]

Yeah, but you're all connected. Part of something.

[ even when the corps came back, kyle still had that sense of disconnect. that he wasn't enough when he offered the rings to guy and john to come back, but hal had been. he kept the light going for others, but he didn't see much of it himself. ]

[reneger]

Does being part of the GL Corp make you feel connected to all of 'em?

( it's not that he doesn't get along with dick. they're mostly fine these days. jason tries to be less quick-tempered, dick tries to be more understanding. but it's complicated. )

[torchbearer]

[ kyle shakes his head. ]

I'm not part of the Corp. Not like that.

[reneger]

And I'm not one of them. Not like that.

( sometimes he is. sometimes he teases damian like he's a normal thirteen year old, or talks about girls with dick while they're on stakeouts. sometimes he watches tim knock out dozens of guys bigger than him while wishing he had popcorn so he could really enjoy it.

sometimes bruce tells him he was a mistake and tells him to get the hell off his turf. to not come back. sometimes, he pisses dick off enough to make him really angry, and there's almost nothing more terrifying than that. )

You know if our B ever shows up here--I'm screwed. Right?

[torchbearer]

[ he frowns lightly. bruce is a tentative topic, even if jason is the one bringing him up. ]

What do you mean?

[reneger]

He told me off. Real firmly. The rest of them follow his lead.

( therefore, if his bruce shows up, jason loses the rest of the robins. and signal. and any other bat that shows up. )

[torchbearer]

[ kyle highly doubts that. the robins are very loyal to bruce, but they rarely function as people who just . . . fall in line, even for bruce. but this is something jason has to untangle. no amount of telling will make that happen. ]

We'll worry about it when it happens.
