What's wrong with being a little corny sometimes?

[crossbearing]

Other than everything?

( Really. ) You've gotten to used to the cape. Not everything is puns and lame---

( Wait, wait. ) Right. I forgot Dinah was your mentor.

[controlledvariable]

[And that gets Steph laughing.]

Then you should know that the puns and lame jokes are there for a reason.

[crossbearing]

Mmhmm.

( She knows. She's choosing to skirt and dance around it. ) To be annoying, I know.

( Not quite, but reality isn't always fun for banter. )

[controlledvariable]

[She can hear the answer in Helena's voice, and she's smart enough to know when something's being avoided.]

That's pretty much it. I learnt from the best.

[crossbearing]

Maybe she'll add it to her resume.

( Black Canary: hero, icon, huge pain in the ass. ) And if she turns up here I'll let her know you need a little more training.

[controlledvariable]

Are you saying that I'm not annoying enough?

[tread carefully]

[crossbearing]

( UGH. )

I'm saying you've got a long way to go until you're as annoying as Dinah Lance, but you are plenty annoying.

[controlledvariable]

Is it 'cause Dinah can give you noogies?

[Steph isn't that brave.]

[crossbearing]

Nobody gives me noogies.

( Let her contemplate for a moment. ) Unless she was having a bad day. Then I'd let her.

[controlledvariable]

I'm guessing if I tell her that they'll never find my body?

[crossbearing]

Might find pieces of it.

[controlledvariable]

Can I make requests?

[this is a weird conversation]

[crossbearing]

( Uh. )

There ain't no party like a Gotham party.

[controlledvariable]

Bludhaven could probably compete.

[crossbearing]

Point taken.

( bludhaven... yay... ) Thing is, why would they want to?

[controlledvariable]

They've got to win something.

[crossbearing]

Maybe they could win something a little more prestigious. You can practice your arts and crafts skills, make them a trophy out of pasta shapes.

[controlledvariable]

This arts and craft thing is kinda getting outta control.

[helena pls]

[crossbearing]

What can I say? Once a teacher, always a teacher.

( that would sound more badass if you replaced "teacher" with assassin, vigilante or mobster, but whatever. )

[controlledvariable]

Maybe you should be teaching me history or something instead of crafts. I nearly failed that.

[crossbearing]

I could, if you wanted. No promises about there not being any crafts involved.

[controlledvariable]

You don't have to treat me like a middle schooler who needs to be kept entertained.

[crossbearing]

Who said it was to keep my students entertained?

( yes she... somehow managed to make that sound grumpy )

[controlledvariable]

So it was for you?
