WHO: Dick and Future Batman Tim.
WHERE: Titans Tower's roof.
WHEN: Beginning of the timeswitch, after this post.
WARNINGS: None.
SUMMARY: Tim kicked out everyone out of the Tower.
FORMAT: Quicklog

[Dick is still wondering what the hell he's doing and if this is a really, really bad idea as he's landing on top of the Titans Tower. He wants to meet Tim like this, though, and he wants to know how bad it is.

Maybe it's not that bad? He knows nothing of the situation, he needs to discover everything by himself, right? Right.

Okay, so maybe he's just mostly curious and being an idiot, but Tim sounded sincere when he said he would be able to go away, after, without being harmed. He's just going to hope he really was.]

[Dick glares at Tim through the lenses of the mask. Not because he's wrong, but because he's right and Dick is not ready to admit it. But he's going too far, he has to be, or Beast Boy wouldn't have said he was crazy.

The Joker should die, Dick agrees with this much, but this doesn't mean he would kill him himself. There's a line, there, and Dick would prefer not to cross it.]

Yeah but when do you stop? You kicked us out of the Tower -- what if one of the Titans tries coming against you? What then?

[This isn't Tim, Dick isn't even trying to see Tim in that man anymore. It's just too easy to tell them apart.

Or maybe it's denial on Dick's part. It doesn't matter.]

Then I dissuade them.

[He frowns slightly and takes a step closer.]

In my time, there are those Titans who stand with me - an army. But there are also those who dissent. They operate on the East coast, we operate on the West. There is a truce. I don't intend to kill other heroes, but neither will I allow them to stop me. If they stay out of my way, then they won't come to harm by my hand.

[He sighs and purses his lips.] Okay.

[Dick isn't suicidal and won't get in Tim's way if not necessary. But this doesn't mean most people won't stop him.

Actually, Dick doesn't have... the strong conviction that stopping him would be the best thing to do. He doesn't know him enough, and even through the creepiness, he can't tell if this Batman is wrong or right.

He'll have to wait and see.]

Just don't be an idiot.

[He tilts his head just slightly, and gives Dick a thin smile.]

I never am.

[He turns away, walking back into the shadows.]

Shouldn't you be leaving? Unless you wanted to join me.

[Dick's will not to judge and not to be a jerk sort of vanishes with that comment. He squints and sneers, reaching for his grappling hook on his belt.]

Told you I wasn't going to. [It feels like he's saying 'no now' to him, but there's no way Tim can know. Or if he has doubts about it, he doesn't have any proof.

He takes a last look at this Batman before shooting his line to fly away.]
