It wasn't so much that Terry never swore himself - far from it, actually. It was more just that- well. Pokey was twelve. Sort of.
"I'd... heard that, yes," Terry said when Pokey mentioned the comics thing, and kept himself from pulling a face at the idea. Comic books were just so... oh, he didn't know. What mattered in the end, though, was that he was real somewhere. So at least there was that.
"Mm." Well he was hoping that there wouldn't be another blackout anyway, but he didn't want to be caught off-guard. Not any more than he could help - if he could figure out a way to safeguard the suit in general from anything of the kind he'd be happy. Until then....
He absently pulled out one of his batarangs and gave it to Pokey. "There, have a closer look. Not quite sure what I expected, to be honest." The batarang was lightweight and compact and the alloy it was made of was rather peculiar - it was part of how they were so easily stored, the suit could morph things into being particular ways.... Terry didn't know the exact details of everything, Bruce had picked up the technology a while ago and never explained it in full. If it could be explained in full, the entire process was pretty strange.
He was starting to wonder if he should ask the kid to hook explosives up to a few of them.
