conversations overheard through the batkid com lines pt 76 (masterpost here)
Bruce: Robin, stop stalling, we need to get back in the air.
Damian: can we not stay down here for a few more minutes? one of the workers of the food truck just told me they'd give me a free hot chocolate.
Dick, dryly: well thank heavens they won't charge you, because you know we're running low on cash.
Bruce: shut up, both of you. and Robin, you know you aren't supposed to take food or drink from civilians on patrol. who knows who those people might be working for? they could drug anything they give you.
Damian: *thoughtful hum* ...i accept those terms.
Bruce, baffled: what terms?
Damian, innocently: the terms that in exchange for a free hot chocolate i must roll the dice on being drugged. i view this as a fair exchange.
Bruce: Robin- *abruptly cutting himself off* Red Hood, knock it off or i'll have you moved from this line. Robin, you cannot act as if being drugged isn't a big deal, it isn't funny.
Damian: but it isn't a big deal. do you know how many times i've been drugged, Father? by allies, enemies, friends, foes; it's not rare in the life i lead.
Dick, curious: Robin, you're fourteen. what 'friends' do you have that are drugging you?
Damian: well off the top of my head; Hood once gave me weed.
Bruce, voice dropping three octaves: excuse me?
Jason: ay aY AY AY- UNDER THE TERMS THAT YOU DON'T FUCKING SNITCH ON ME?!?!?!?! ROBIN?!?!
Dick: well, there goes your pass at deniability.
Damian: ...ah, right. apologies, Father. i was mistaken. i have never been drugged by a friend. a brother, on the other hand,
Jason: WHAT DID I DO TO YOU.
Damian, instantly: -broke my phone charger trying to strangle Red Robin.
Jason: ... *resigned* ...ok yeah.
Bruce, through gritted teeth: Red Hood. meet me back at the cave. now.
Jason: oh shut up- i own the iceberg lounge, you twat. i've seen you snort coke off a Pitbull impersonator's bald cap.
Bruce: JASON FUCKING TODD-
Jason: -jESUSOKFUCK I'M GOING-
