sticky

Who: Stephanie Brown and YOU??
What: Sighing a lot and getting tar everywhere
When: Today!
Where: The castle grounds
Rating: PG



Tar, tar everywhere. It was black, sticky, and warm to the touch--which Steph discovered, as it clung to her arms and neck. It didn't take too long for her to realize that many in the castle were being afflicted by this, so she tried to tough through it. It would stop eventually, and she had things to do. There was still a lot to be done in the city, before she and Cass left on the expedition.

However, the more she touched, the more tar seemed to come from her hands.

She wasn't going to be useful to anyone today, let alone herself, she came to realize.

What was the logical response?

To lay down on the grass in front of the castle, of course. Maybe if she didn't touch anything for a while, the sticky goo would recede. In the meanwhile, staring at the sky seems like a good option.

Yeah, castle. She gets the irony. She messes up everything she touches. Ha ha.

Tim looks up, temporarily lost in his memories. When he sees her, he doesn't so much see her, as much as he sees her how she was when he confronted her about betraying him to make him a "better" Robin. A nasty frown his shot her way, and he jerks away.

After a few seconds pass, he breaks out of his thoughts and quickly rubs his eyes. Oh boy, this doesn't bode well for him. He needs to do something about this before he does something stupid.

"Steph--hey."
dorkwonder: (Doing that judging thing.)

"Tar?" Gives her a funny look, wondering what the castle was thinking with that. Not that he's in much better shape with his ink smears all over his neck. The worst part for him is the blood that keeps oozing into his shirts, no matter what lengths he goes to, to try and remain clean.

"First the earthquake, now this. Ugh, I don't even want to think about what you'll come across on the expedition."
dorkwonder: It's a waste of time (Default)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-04-14 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Shakes his head.

"No, it doesn't. The castle's obviously trying to prey upon some of our doubts, insecurities, and regrets. Between the earthquake and this, it makes me wonder if it's trying to make us mentally vulnerable for a purpose."

As upsetting as the whole mess is, he's more concerned about what this could lead to.
dorkwonder: It's a waste of time (Destroy the middle)

"Yeah." Tim grows quiet after responding, taking another look at her. His thoughts wander back to that night again, causing another tug to frown on his lips.

But he is done with letting the castle control his emotions. The last time the two of them had a big blow up, it was because of the castle screwing with them again. Shifts his thoughts, thinking back to the night the two of them spent together in their apartment. Is he really going to fling her past at her again, when she spent the entire night sleeping on her back so he could use her as a pillow?

Brings a hand to his neck, pushing some of his hair away so the scar like designs are easier to see.

"I know what this is meant to remind me of. The time that Gotham was almost lost to a gang war, and Anarky tried taking Gotham hostage."

His eyes narrow as his mind wanders back to that time.

"His brother and sister..." No, he's not going to dive into that. He doesn't have to. Steph was there, she knows exactly what happened to them.

"And then of course, there's everything that followed between the two of us."

"I won't." Responds firmly.

"In the past couple of day, countless lives have been ruined. Homes were destroyed, families were separated, lively hoods were thrashed, and people died. I'm trying to do what I can to bring some normalcy back into their lives, so are others, and what does the castle do? Throw a huge distraction our way."

Tim voice is laced with anger.

"I'm done with the castle trying to control me. I know I screwed up, I don't need blood or ink smears to remind me that people died because of the decisions I made. But I can't constantly look back. If I do, I'm going to get stuck there, and I won't be able to help anyone."

"This place has already taken so much from us. You've seen countless people you care about come and go, my memories were twisted around, and Cass has lost Babs." Tim shoots a glare over at the castle, before returning his attention back to Steph.

"Paradisa doesn't get to win this time around. I'm not going to focus on the mistakes I made back then. I'm going to think about the people who helped me save Gotham, Bruce coming back to us more human than he had been in years, and how my amazing girlfriend let me use her as a pillow last night because I was too exhausted to walk more than ten feet."
dorkwonder: (We are the wild youth)

Tar be damned. At the mention of Black Mask, he reaches for one of her hands.

"I've been letting it get to me all day. When I first saw you, my mind flashed back to the conversation we had up on the roof top, and I was angry. My mind kept going back there, just like it did when we had our last argument. Then I got to thinking about what happened after."

Shakes his head.

"How can I lash out at the person who has been so caring and loving towards me?" Squeezes her hand, most likely getting tar all over his fingers.

"The castle's going to have to deal with not liking a lot of things."
dorkwonder: It's a waste of time (I'm just a teenage dirt bag)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-04-14 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
"I have ink spreading across my head, and blood keeps trickling down my chest. Getting my hand messy isn't going to make much of a difference."

Smirks at her briefly. Then his expression grows serious again.

"I screwed up with Cass. Back when we were in Bludhaven, she told me she wanted to work with me--she asked me to be her Robin. I turned her down and went off to do my own thing. Not that long after, she ended up leaving town and dying. Then after everything that happened in Bludhaven..."

Shakes his head.

"I should have taken her up on her offer. I could have helped her out, tried to stop everything that happened. Then Cass would still be Cass." Although in the past couple of months back home, she had become much more Cass like.

Shakes his head.

"It doesn't matter. We're the only family she's ever had. She doesn't remember having Babs, and we both left her." They had their reasons, but that didn't change the fact that they abandoned her. Seeing Cass like she is now is a sharp reminder of how badly he messed up in that regard.

"While we can't change what happened back home, we can make up for it here. " Glances down at his not, not where the blood is, but over at the side where he use to wear his R emblem.
dorkwonder: (One day we'll reveal the truth)

[personal profile] dorkwonder 2013-04-14 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Think she'll still want her own Robin, even if it's a Red Robin?"
dorkwonder: you're the lucky ones (And if you're still breathing)

"You don't think the other Batgirl who runs around here will be too jealous, do you?"

"Any time she needs him, he'll be there." Chuckles slightly, the tar rubbing against his cheek is making him ticklish.
