It's Just a game, Right? Pt 7

Masterpost

It's just a game, right?

Tim turns his head at the soft their of a grappling hook, and a moment later Steph has joined him on the roof of the building.

"Not much happening tonight, huh?"

"Yeah, I guess," Tim responds as he watches traffic pass on the street below. She is right; the night so far has been unusually calm. It's a distinct contrast to last week- it seemed like every night some big villain was pulling out some ridiculous plan or other, but somehow they had all been stopped without serious harm. Of course, there are still plenty of rogues still scurrying around Gotham but there's no murmurs of anything coming from any of the big hitters for the moment.

"You don't sound very sure about that," Steph says, stepping up beside Tim and elbowing him lightly.

"Yeah," Tim answers. A flashy silver car cuts someone off and the resultant horn echoes harshly.

"Okay, you're being weird. What's up?"

Tim shrugs.

"Guess I'm just used to emergencies," Tim shrugs. He knows Steph wouldn't be weird about him bringing up Bernard, but he really doesn't need any of his fellow bats thinking he's compromised or overstressed. God knows he doesn't need anyone else pestering him about getting enough sleep, like he's staying up on purpose.

"Okay..." Steph trails off. "I mean I guess it has been pretty hectic for a while. Takes a bit of time to come down from all that?"

Tim is saved from having to respond by the sound of Oracle cutting into comms.

"Red Robin, Spoiler, looks like a store robbery in progress and you're the closest. Head for the intersection of 25th and Oak."

"Got it," Tim answers and doesn't wait for Steph's response, already halfway through the motion of taking off for the next building.

Pretty soon they're both dropping in on a pair of goons. One of them is aiming their gun directly at a frazzled-looking employee, who doesn't seem interested in putting up a fight.

Two-on-two makes it an incredibly easy fight though, and it's almost over before it begins, with both of them able to sneak up on the distracted thugs as the cashier hurriedly pulls money out of the cash register. Once they're both in position, it's easy enough to grapple, disarm, and restrain them in a flurry of movement, and the criminals never get a chance to even process the arrival of the bats.

"Not today, I think," Steph says as she handcuffs her guy. "Threatening people with guns is a real dick move, y'know?" Tim gets his guy handcuffed and turns to the startled employee.

"Cops on the way yet?" He gets a frantic nod, and Tim surveys the shop as he waits for the sirens. They'll bounce just before the cops get here, but until then, he wants to look around for any signs of something bigger. The two would-be thieves seem too shocked and terrified at the appearance of bats to be proper goons, but they could still be bait, or a distraction of some kind. And the shop itself could theoretically have been targeted. But by the time the sirens are closing in outside, he's not spotted signs of anything sinister.

"Right, the police are almost here, so we're gonna bounce!" Steph announces as Tim walks back towards her. "Tell your boss I said he should give you hazard pay for the night, 'kay?" and then she bounces out the same way they came in. Tim nods once at the employee and then follows.

He changes directions once he's on the rooftops again, though. His phone had buzzed about six times in a row while they were waiting, and that means it's probably Bernard. And he really doesn't want to explain the arg thing to anyone yet.

Once he's far enough away from anyone, he pulls his phone out, and sure enough, he's got six text messages from Bernard.

Dude

Babe, holy shit

Like seriously

This is fucking crazy

Like I cannot believe they replied to us

Us!!!

Attached to the series of texts is a screenshot, and Tim feels the anxiety coalesce into something abruptly solid in his chest.

At first glance, he can't tell what language it's supposed to be. It looks like it might be Romantic in origin, but a couple spellings look almost Slavic in nature, and there's only two and a half lines, which really isn't much to go off of.

It's certainly an interesting development, to say the least. He should be excited. This is a new clue for the mystery, after all.

No way! Tim sends back.

Yeah! U busy? Comes the immediate response. And like, technically the answer is yes, Tim supposed. But Steph literally just pointed out how calm things are tonight, and he can already tell he won't be able to focus, with this news.

"Um," Tim clicks on his comm. "I think I'm gonna call it for tonight."

"Something wrong?" Bruce asks immediately, all gruff-batman-voice.

"No, just- it's slow tonight, and Bernard wants my help with something so I thought, um. If you want me to finish my patrol, I can." He can't help it. Even now, he always kind of feels like he isn't doing enough to be a good vigilante.

"Nah, kid. I think we'll be fine without you." Hood answers, unsurprisingly.

"You're sure?"

"Yeah go make out with your boyfriend or whatever."

Tim smiles at Hood's usual ribbing. He's almost gotten used to it; mostly he can keep himself from blushing too violently when anyone teases him about Bernard.

"Okay. I'll make sure to get my report submitted by eight, promise." Tim is already en route to the nearest safehouse where he can change out of the suit, when he remembers he hasn't responded to Bernard yet.

Heading home rn. My place or yours? He hits send and then takes off once more. Excited to see his boyfriend, and determined to work through the newest puzzle.

One of the biggest things that makes me see Leo as trans is absolutely the size of his carapace in comparison to his brothers’.

And I’m not talking about height! I’m specifically looking at his shell here, because when you compare him to the others, particularly Donnie who is nearly the same height as Leo, it’s very clear that Leo’s carapace is much longer in proportion to the rest of his body.

Like - standing side by side, even though Donnie is shorter his carapace ends noticeably higher up than Leo’s does. And I like this not only because it really helps push the idea that Leo could very likely be trans (or intersex!), but it’s also just a fun design difference between them.

(It also lends way to future scenarios of Donnie eventually getting taller than Leo, but sitting down still has Leo being the taller one haha.)

Steb and Viktor meeting but Viktor can understand Steb's trilling. Steb is very much surprised by this and Viktor just continues on like it's normal. After all, Steb doesn't speak a dead language, sure the average person might not understand him but Viktor is a scientist so he has to know all sorts of languages. Steb is very much happy about this, he won't have to rely on sign for someone to understand him, however there is one slight problem. That problem being the fact that Steb just doesn't talk often, whether it's with his hands or his voice. Steb just doesn't use his words, he keeps to himself and doesn't feel the need to talk because Maddie does the talking for the both of them.

So Viktor knowing Stebs language doesn't really matter because Steb just doesn't talk. Which quickly becomes an issue because Viktor is used to having a response to his words, even if it was just a simple reaction, that was how Jayce was. Steb, however, doesn't respond in a way that Viktor is used to. Steb just stares, watching and waiting without giving any form of a response. To Viktor, it seems like Steb doesn't interact with the world around him much, at least that's how Viktor sees it for the longest time.

Viktor slowly starts to notice how Stebs ears will wiggle/twich whenever he's trying to figure something out or he's surprised by something, if something doesn't make a noise that only he could hear. Viktor also notices how Steb will give short and easy to miss facial reactions, they're barely noticeable at times and Viktor only noticed them because he was staring at Steb when Vi suddenly slipped. Viktor is used to larger reactions, not small ones, Jayce gave large reactions that were hard to miss while Steb gave small reactions that were easy to miss.

Steb can easily read Viktor because Steb is always watching and waiting. So it was much easier for Steb to understand Viktor and see his reactions and responses compared to Viktor with Steb. But luckily for them both, Viktor is a scientist and small reactions are part of his job. While their friendship is odd to outsiders, it works for them.

rick rounds autistic and gets away with no one ever picking up on it via pretending all of the autism traits are 1) him being rude on purpose and 2) him just being a REALLY dedicated and stoic leader.

he never makes eye contact with anyone and seems to ignore to half of the things you say when talking to him? yeah he’s locked into that sigma grindset bro he doesnt have time for your bullshit. he refuses to let anyone touch him? oh is he also gonna cry and tell you about his feelings while you’re hugging 🥺🥺🥺? he barely makes any facial expressions, his voice is always monotone and he won’t react at all if you break down crying in front of him? yeah hes hardcore man completely unreadable. he gets really loud and angry and unpredictable when theres a lot of people and noise and lights? yeah hes a fucking wildcard bro you dont wanna mess around near him trust me. we need real men like this leading America forward thank god men are finally being masculine again 🙏🙏🙏 (/s)

post books u want to read next year. these are vaguely organized.

top row is vaguely horror ish bc i want to get more into horror. ha’penny is actually alternate history mystery but it IS anxiety inducing lmao so.

second row is scifi stuff. i haven’t read saga vol 9 yet so this is just me hoping i’ll get thru at least 2.

last row is just indigenous stuff, first one is much more local & i believe one of the books i found that mentioned my mom’s tribe, second is a romance that’s done p well & i’m kinda excited for it ngl i feel native writers have been so pigeonholed into sad memoirs or gritty Literature in recent years but lately you’ve seen a lot of natives in adult lit break into fun genres lol. the last island is obviously about the uncontacted peoples and it feels like every 18 months some dickhead tries to contact them & gets wasted & i felt like it was something i should Know About rather than just reading the wiki you know.

Embarrassing things part 4

Sirius talking too loudly about something absolutely vile ( Sex aka what he'd let Remus do to him (he needs to wash his mouth with soap after this dawg), something completely unhinged like another magical beast as well or like saying something that only your friends know are a joke (Saying you'd eat their a-) )
