Malory. Maleficent. Malcom. ( it was an "i'm here, assholes" that worked out great in his favor. but it won't have. the same effect he was going for here. ah well. trash malone, he can use it for something different. saves him from adjusting to answering to another name like it's his own. )

Or just Mal. Parents can be pretty fucked up these days.

[eggplanting]

One of the kids I went to college with has a little brother named Sasuke.

[Does that count as parents being fucked up? Steph doesn't know enough about anime to actually tell exactly how mean that name is.]

Mal does kinda work, not that you actually have to pick another name. We'll figure it out.

[Names are important, and she doesn't want Jason to feel like he has to lose a part of his identity just because someone else was here first.]

[reneger]

I still expect you to call me the ultimate Jason. The Jason to beat all other Jasons.

( steph's reference point of one is sad, but jason can help with that-- )

This's my third. One was a nineteen year old newbie Robin. Second never died, ( well. this is a significantly more serious conversation than he was intending to get into but he opened his mouth first, didn't he? it's fine, they can just laugh it off like they always do. ) but got way more fucked up. That one might've been more of a tie. But I bet I could take this one if I really tried for it. He's still tiny.

[eggplanting]

[This is certainly not how she anticipated this conversation going, but here they are.

There are about a million questions she wants to ask before deciding that Jason probably won't want to answer them, so she wrinkles her nose instead.]

Please don't try to fight this Jason. You could probably take him, but I actually like him and he'll get all weird and shitty if you guys fight.

[That's a bit of an assumption, though one based on having worked fairly closely with Jason for the past six-ish months. She'd like to think she knows him well enough.]

[reneger]

Boring.

( he'd say i'm not going to fight him but at some point one of them is going to open their mouths and be an asshole and a fight's going to break out. it's the law of being jason todd: at some point you're going to fight with yourself and also everyone else around you. he's learned to accept it for what it is. )

But I'll try not to.

[eggplanting]

Thank you.

[It does, in fact, sound sincere, although it's slightly undermined by the fact she blows him a kiss.

She'd give him an actual kiss on the cheek, but isn't sure if that would result in a mild stabbing.]

There's plenty of other assholes to pick a fight with. You'd be everyone's new best friend if you kicked Fantastic's ass.

[reneger]

( an ugly snort, but it's whatever. he did say try. steph should know how well that'll go. )

I'll put Fantastic at the top of my shitlist. Needed a new one anyway, since no one on my old one's around to fuck with. ( well actually. ) Aside from Iron Man. But he's more third tier material.

[eggplanting]

[That adds some confusion to the mix, as Steph squints at Jason.]

Do you mean The Presser?

[reneger]

( they would be so shit at patrolling together.

jason laughs, less obnoxiously than before but it isn't quiet by any means. )

I wish. I'd glue an iron to his hand but the guy's a cheat. ( it'd be less fun because he'd get it off in two seconds flat and just look down at it with disappointment in his eyes. if it's not an effective prank why bother. ) Tony Stark. He's not very secretive with his ID, spoiled it on ourpowers not long after he got here. Red and gold mech suit. We have history.

( stark wouldn't let him murder someone who deserved it and jason's going to be angry about it until it suits him better to not be angry about it. and then he's going to remember he was angry about it the next time stark pisses him off just to add more flames to the fire. he's got a system, it works well for him. )

Wouldn't call him an enemy, but I do want to get a few good hits in. Break a rib maybe. We can call it light vengeance. Just a pinch. ( he even holds up a hand, making a small space between his index finger and thumb. see? this much vengeance. )

[eggplanting]

[Note to self: check this Tony Stark guy out later.

She's more curious about the slight — oddities in what she's heard from Jason so far, the little things that don't match with what she'd expect, if he was just a short while in the future. It might not hurt to compare notes with Tim later, since she's unsure what she can get away with asking directly.]

Aww, are you guys like frenemies?

[Things she won't do: ask Jason questions about how he met Tony Stark.
Things she will do: tease Jason about Tony Stark despite knowing nothing about him.]

Should we be worried about this guy at all, or is he one of the hero types?

[reneger]

He's a hero type who's made shit decisions before.

( there's the whole, how much of tony's shit should he share with everyone else bit when tony doesn't even know he knows, but. they're all snoops, stark has plenty of people here who know him back where he comes from. and it's not shit he'd hide from the others anyway. )

There was a whole thing back on his Earth. Stark'd been one of the ones trying to enforce everyone with a superhuman ability to register with the government. He'd cloned an Asgardian to lend a hand, which didn't go well. I don't know a lot about it, but I'd put him as trustworthyish. ( clicking his tongue against the roof of his mouth, before he's--pulling himself up to his feet. ) He knows about me, Nightwing, Nightwing the second, and Robin. I'm not worried about it, yet. An' I'll keep an eye on him.

( a hand out, offered over to steph. she doesn't need him to pull her up to her feet, but he'll offer all the same. )

Get a good read on me?
