Hi, Daisy Johnson?

This is Dick, I'm Damian's older brother. [ and jason's. sigh. ]

[evite]

welcome to the party.

[ there's no real good way to start this. ]

everything okay with little brother?

[identifier]

nothing's blowing up. just making contact.

[ he knows he's not trustworthy yet. as much as alt universe versions can be. but at least knowing shit's going down with the family... ]

you're familiar with j as well?

[evite]

usually damian only reaches out when things are absolutely fucked

[ which is not inherently his fault. she could try more. but post-zerzura, things have been ... weird. probably got something to do with the whole fake family / real family thing. ]

yeah, i know him. i also know he bears a weird resemblance to a kid who decided to name himself after some shitty kurt russell movie.

[identifier]

[ sounds like their family. ]

i'm familiar. [ also his brother. technically.

sigh. ]

how long have you been here?

[evite]

since july. the second round of drop-offs, if you've read over the guide.

[ she wonders if this is an interrogation for trustworthiness or just casual conversation. ]

[identifier]

[ he has a few times.

it is always an interrogation where a bat is involved.

but dick likes to dress his up, too. ]

i have.

did you know the other me?

[evite]

not well. we had a few drinks once. he was cute, but a little too serious for me.

[ hilarious, given her future husband's inability to be anything but. ]

i won't hold it against you.

[identifier]

thanks, but you don't have to worry. i'm the trusting type :)

[ ha ha.............. ]

[evite]

nobody who's actually the trusting type says that with a smiley face emoji, dick

[ don't play her for a fool, grayson ]

multiverse is a big place, you never know. miracles happen.

[ stop trying to be funny, dick ]

[evite]

do miracles usually use emojis?

[ maybe they do. ]

[identifier]

you tell me

:)

[evite]

on second thought, probably not.
does new you still like 2-for-1 drinks as much as old you?

[identifier]

sources say yes

you pick the time and place. [ a concession he grants because he'll obsessively case wherever she chooses. ]

[evite]

you know we have a bar, right? like, collectively speaking

[ and daisy has a booth she pays rent on, so. she likes to sit in it. ]

[identifier]

i'm more of a coffee guy, but sure

[ 2 for 1 isn't a bad deal. ]

[evite]

bummer. i only know one coffee witch and she doesn't do late-night house calls

[ actually, she might, but daisy doesn't like to give out other people's abilities without their consent. call her old-fashioned. ]

[identifier]

wow, do i want to know? [ coffee powers? that'd be useful.

he likes his better. ]

[evite]

you probably do.

[ it's a nifty power-up. not exactly battle-ready, but no less useful. someone less honorable would have made a killing by now fleecing unsuspecting locals, hawking food with questionably-sourced ingredients. ]

guess you'll have to sleuth it out, detective

[identifier]

probably.

[ if he has the time. he's a little busy with his brothers.

and singular. he's got to keep talking to j. ]

when am i meeting you?

[evite]

my schedule's pretty open. i usually do open session at 8 in one of the buildings by the safehouse, i can meet you after?
you're welcome to come by, if you want the practice.

[ does he know what his own power is? she could ask, but it's not really any of her business if he doesn't feel like sharing. ]

[identifier]

i'd be happy to observe.

[ dick grayson is not going to be caught dead practising in front of others without being competent with his ability. he demands perfection of himself.

especially if there's an audience. ]

seven thirty?

[evite]

heard that before. it's not against the rules yet.

[ she's met one too many stoic men who prefer to fuck up in private. ]

i can do that. you won't get me tipsy before class, though.

[identifier]

noted. [ he'd be sure to disappear if anyone was watching him. dick can explain a lot with the circus. but not after. ]

and let's save that for a real party [ drunk people make bad interrogations. and getting a girl drunk on a first impression isn't good form anyway. ]
