[Red Robin is standing just outside a store in a city, having managed to let the villain he was pursuing escape. He takes a moment to mentally berate himself before sighing and looking around to notice where he is. "Born This Way" is the song currently blasting inside the store, loud enough for half the block to hear. He frowns, completely ignoring the looks he's getting from the city-goers the longer he stands there.]

Of course. No matter where I go, this song is playing.

Huh? It doesn't feel like it did.

it's the perfect mental image

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

Oh. A case?

Cool. Where's the bad guy?

I hate you

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

[Another sigh.] I lost him.

bart is so proud of his two bffs

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

No problem. What's he look like?

they are mortified

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

You're not going to go look for him, Impulse. He's incredibly dangerous. [He's even using his leader voice.]

GUYS I SAW YOU ON MTV /records and shows everyone

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

But I can help! It'd take you forever to find him. I could probably find him right now!

bart stop watching that trash

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

And what happens when he finds you? I'll track him down again later.

where else does he get his news

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

Won't it be easier to beat him if we teamed up, though? You said he's dangerous -- yet you wanna go fight him alone?!

idk max or something

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

I can handle it.

Besides, don't you have homework to do? [It's an attempt to change the subject and distract him. He just hopes Bart has an essay to write or something.]

[hypernovae.livejournal.com]

Tim, you're sailing stormy waters there.

But this isn't "every criminal", it's one who's been avoiding you, the Boy Wonder, for two months straight. Looking for some help there sounds pretty reasonable to me even if I'd be trying to do the whole "independent" thing.

But then again, you're a Bat. You Bats are well known for being not like us Supers at all.

[hypernovae.livejournal.com]

But it sure looks like that.

Just... let's go somewhere else, okay? Playtendo section of the shop sound cool enough?

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

It's better than my original gift idea.

...Fine. Next time I track down his location, I'll call you. For back-up.

[hypernovae.livejournal.com]

I'm scared about knowing your original gift idea.

Good. It's been a while since we've done some of those World's Finest stuff. I kind of miss it.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

Just accept Enya. [A half-smirk.]

Yeah. I'd be worried if you didn't.

[hypernovae.livejournal.com]

Never.

Dude, I tell you something all friendly and cheesy and all you can say is "I'd be worried if you didn't"?! Look at my very disappointed face, Red Robin. Look at it.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

She has a very successful career, you know.

I'm not very good at friendly, Superboy. And I try to save the cheesy for battles.

[hypernovae.livejournal.com]

No. We are not having a conversation about Enya.

I hope you don't use that sentence while trying to woo the ladies, too. I don't think it's ever gonna work.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, let's just end it there.

[He sighs.] I don't try to "woo the ladies," Kon. That's more your thing.

[hypernovae.livejournal.com]

You're saying that like it's a bad thing! Maybe you should, I don't know, do it? I could teach you something. I'm a good teacher when it comes to that. The best.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

I'm doing fine without your wooing lessons. [Raising an eyebrow under the cowl and smiling just a bit again.]

but can max play music videos AND provide news

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

I'll do it on the way. Can we go?

1/2

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

Hey! What'd you do that for?!

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

'Course it does. Let's go!

max can do everything

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

[SOB HIS LIFE. He thought he was done with this years ago.]

Bart, you're not listening.

yet all he seems to do is plant chives and make lightning come out of his eyes!

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

Listening? 'Course I'm listening!

. . . Listening to what?
