so that's a no, then?
i'm heartbroken.

[She wasn't gonna hit the briefcase, chill out.]
You don't neeed to throw 'em. Watch.
[The batarangs she had disappear back into her sleeves as she walks over to Saul, taking the batarang from him once he's had a chance to look at it. Then she demonstrates how to activate it, before just lazily tossing it at the far wall, where, after a few seconds, there's a sort of crack, and thick ice crawls about four feet up the wall.
She grins at Saul.]

It's come up before. Don't worry about it.
( For Atlas having too many emotions, the uniform, and so on. But what is typed is Adonis, interfering with Atlas' work, and he grits his teeth. Idiot. Not the time. Not the place, not for doubt. )
It was pretty shitty, but it's okay. We're friends.
( There's a long pause, before he adds something else: )
You should see the other guy.
( The one without the mask. The one that's useless. It's as close as he can see himself getting to admitting who he is, exactly, but even if Steph had met Donny, Atlas is pretty certain she'd have no idea who he was talking about. )

I'm a certified heartbreaker.
[no really he has 3 sets of divorce papers to prove it!!]
You'll get over it.

[She hates texting, putting her words down definitively always makes her feel kind of stupid, when she can't saythe words out loud and figure them out.
But right now going to audio would feel even more awkward, so she just forces herself to deal with it.]
i won't do it again.
[Make shitty jokes, at least about her death.
She misses her therapist. And Babs. And Cass.
What he says about the other guy has her frowning at her screen for a while, trying to figure out what to say.]
my ex. the one i mentioned. he thinks like that.
[About (Red) Robin versus Tim Drake, that one is better than the other, and that they're... different people, instead of being different parts of the same person.
Steph isn't sure how to feel anymore.]

i won't believe that until i see your heartbreaking licence.
will i though?
will i though?
That's good, but if you want to talk about stuff... Well, I'm a good listener, at least.
( Oh, God. That's a thing. That's a thing that Max comments on, that Adonis and Atlas are the same, but-- he can't afford to think that way. )
Some of us have to.

It's in a pair of pants I left at home, sorry.
And I know I'm hard to get over, but you have to try. Go listen to some Adele. Tell your friends about how much I suck. Worst lawyer evar omg.

thanks for the offer, but i should probably learn when to keep my mouth shut.
[90% of the time, basically.]
i know.
[Clark Kent. Bruce Wayne.]
my best friend doesn't understand secret identities, but she can look at someone and just see who they are, really, behind all the lies we build up, so maybe that's why.
she doesn't talk much, either. i think you'd like her.
[...

[REAL. LEATHER. He will not chill out. They do not have briefcases of that quality floating around this place. You chill out.
...speaking of chill.
Saul raises his eyebrows, impressed.]
Huh. And that — I mean, freezing someone. Isn't that kind of deadly?

Sometimes you just have to talk. There's a difference between being a smartarse and getting help. I wasn't saying you have to bury it.
( Not that he's a giant hypocrite. )
Oh, no way. Stealing my schtick that makes me special? I'd have to think of a new gimmick.
( And if she could recognise Adonis, then that'd just... that couldn't possibly be okay. )

no, i know. it just doesn't matter, it's fine.
[It was a dumb joke and she wishes she'd never made it.]
you don't need a gimmick.
[She's... trying to help? Be nice? Something.]

[Sometimes it's not easy.]
sorry. again.

[God help her, she laughs.
Because she remembers Damian's face when she froze him.]
Depends how long you leave them frozen. This stuff isn't straight up ice.
[It melts at a lower temperature, for one.]

a convenient excuse.
you missed the part where i eat a tub of ice cream by myself while watching rom-coms.

nicholas sparks can go fuck himself, to be honest
[He's not convinced. He walks over to the wall, hesitantly reaches out, and touches the not-straight-up-ice. It sure feels like ice. Maybe there's some molecular difference, or something.
Ugh. Science.]
So none of these are deadly?

The explosives would be if you stuck 'em in a person.
[Or cut an artery with the sharp ones, or choked someone on a goop-a-rang, but she thinks he'll get the point.]
Bats aren't supposed to kill.
[Normally she'd say don't, but she proved that wrong.]

you reckon we could con the initiative into letting us go back in time to kill nicholas sparks?
I don't need any more women to hate me. You can solo that one.
I'd rather avoid... you know.
[He notices her word choice and is almost tempted to ask, but doesn't. He doesn't have to.]
But I appreciate that you've given me options. Those are the only things I could use, I think. I'm not a fan of blades and you're probably not supposed to use a staff like a baseball bat, right?
