abuse made

Rose-colored boy !! I hear you making all that noise About the world you want to see And oh, I'm so annoyed 'Cause I just killed off what was left of the optimist in me

    his reaction surprises her, but it leaves her with a fondness that escapes in quiet laughs. colin is a joy to have around as it is and she appreciates the unbridled energy that comes from someone too young to be too hardened. more than ever, babs hopes he has plenty of time to stay that way. “ they do, in fact. but if they ever seem to forget it, i hope i can send them your way to remind them. it’s like having a one man cheer squad. ” maybe she’s a bit biased when she adds, “ one condition: i reserve at least two slices. if we have a deal there then i can wipe that delivery charge right off the face of the planet. ”

    “ consider it done !! ”  uh, like he’s gonna pass up the opportunity to have pizza with oracle.  he’s going to get the date tattooed on his forehead or something.  maybe a temporary tattoo.  “ and you know i’ll be your cheer squad whenever, but i’m like -- one thousand percent positive it isn't’ a one man cheer squad.  black canary has already called me to make sure i don’t get any thoughts about being captain. ”

“ I hardly care for your option, I did what I had to survive you won’t make me feel bad for that we’ve all done things that broader on the line between good and evil” Oswald made notes nodding “So if you already have the bane venom why did you feel the need to have this super drug as well?”

    “ i was recruited.  was told the pill would help stabilize my powers. ”  colin scratches his shoulder where a suppressant patch prickles at his skin.  “ it didn’t.  just made everything -- wilder. ”

    nimble fingers pause over her keys as she levels an amused gaze at the younger redhead beside her. “ i can and i have. ” she admits, hardly unwilling to share the grittier parts of being oracle with someone like colin. she trusts him – though she can’t resist teasing him. following his lead, she lowers her voice to a whisper and quirks a brow, “ why?? have something up your sleeve i should know about, bud?? ”

   colin has to put a hand to head because -- “ oh my god, that is so rad.  you’re like...the coolest superhero in this city.  i hope you know that.  do the rest of the bats tell you that often enough ??  the pentagon !! ” he crows, absolutely delighted now.  “ okay, no.  but technically if i order three more pizzas i get free delivery.  can you work your magic and get me free delivery on the next one ?? ”

“ For certain things yes, Because while some people were given the choice between right or wrong. I was given the choice between Wrong or death” Oswald shrugged “ okay let use you for example when you take the pill how long do their effects last?”

    “ given the choice between wrong or death, wrong’s still not the right answer. ” colin’s stared down a lot of really fucking hard choices in his short life, and he doesn’t have any sympathy for this guy.  “ the benefits last a few hours, i guess.  but it’s hard to know.  i’ve already got the bane venom stuff.  so -- you know, it’s complicated when you introduce another drug. ”

    “ i got invited to a party, ” colin tells val, looking at her hopefully.  “ do you wanna come along with me ??  there’s a cute boy involved, and if i show up alone i’ll look so lame. ”

notyourpenguin:

Oswald shrugged “ Being a criminal is hardly a rare thing these days and information here is hardly the most dangerous thing. I never took you for a moron, and if you weren’t interested you could always leave” 

    “ rare or not, it’s still shitty. ”  he doesn’t like being talked into a corner like this, and colin shifts.  “ fine.  but i’ve got my eye on you. ”

[gclems]

notyourpenguin:

Oswald laughed out right “ My goodness do these pills give people rorid rage as well? I hardly care if we are friends or not, Knowledge is all I care about and it’s something you have, and I hardly see a reason to turn violent”  

       colin blinks a few times, tries to reign it in a little.  the pills cause all sorts of issues, but aggression has been colin’s constant companion.  “ because you’re a criminal.  in your hands, information is dangerous.  i’m not a moron.  i’m not giving you any information; i’m not even interested in this conversation. ”

    “ i’m making sure there are no flaws in my security by trying every last thing i can to break into my own computer. ” sometimes it’s just because she’s bored. most times it’s a necessary caution, given the sensitive nature of her work.

     “ oh, that’s really cool !! ” colin says, shifting in his seat to get a better look at the computer.  it’s all greek to him, but he’ll at least watch.  maybe he’ll pick up on a trick or two.  not that he -- even friggin owns a computer.  “ could you like --- hack into the pentagon ?? ” he asks, lowering his voice.  is he worried the fbi is listening to him ??  maybe.

notyourpenguin:

“ And what powers would those be? and how enhanced are we talking like Superman level?” Oswald smirked at the other “ Sorry can’t say I’ve seen Scarecrow in awhile, I assume he’s done something to you?” 

     “ uh --- listen, here’s a tip.  go to hell ??  we’re not friends.  i don’t want to help you; i don’t want to talk to you about my powers.  you and i aren’t on the same team, and i could definitely kick your ass.  so jot that down. ”

[gclems]

notyourpenguin:

Oswald sighed once again “ we are talking about it because I wish to know what powers it gives you and how long those effects last, and think what you will of me and my business but this pill is something I will not dirty my hands with”

   “ it enhanced the powers i already have, ” colin says, annoyed.  he gives a quick finger-gun in the penguin’s direction.  “ and you can ask your buddy scarecrow all about that.  also, if you talk to him, tell him i’m gonna kill him. ”

Oswald held his head in annoyance, explaining things to this child seemed easy enough at first when he was asked. But now he can understand why no one else seemed to tell him. “ Okay, so there is this pill that gives regular people super powers in a sense, the government made it and lost it to the streets”

         “ oh, that’s what you’re talking about ??  fuck, i know about that.  i’ve taken the pill a few times.  so why’s crime lord extraordinaire talking to me about it ??  shouldn’t you be peddling that shit so i can kick your ass ?? ”

[gclems]

     colin puts his chin on his folded arms and blinks tiredly.  “ so --- you’re gonna have to dumb it down for me just a little bit.  what’s going on ?? ”
