I took another photo for Davesprite, give me a second--

[IMAGE SENT]



His new secret identity is Batcat.

[ Totally wasting her time. ]

[penisenvy]

he looks rather small for a partner
not like davesprite's roc
but so long as it can be fierce
i guess its fine
what have you trained him 2 do?

[It's like she's trying to convince herself that cute cat pictures are, in fact, not a waste of time.]

[earlybird]

I'm training Batcat to be a violent killer that attacks on my command.



[ Totally a waste of time. ]

[penisenvy]

good
perhaps try it with live prey
so it will know the taste of blood

[earlybird]

Already have. Already does.

[penisenvy]

[It takes her a while to answer because she has to stop snickering.]

indeed
it must be a mighty beast to inflict such injuries on you
as impressive as you are

[earlybird]

It is. It will make a fine crimefighter.

And if Grayson ever annoys me I can set it upon him with but a word.

[penisenvy]

whos grayson?

[earlybird]

[ Fuck it. ]

...My brother. Batman.

Um. It's still a secret.

[ A poorly kept one. They've both screwed this up. ]

So. Just don't tell anyone.

[penisenvy]

oh yeah
that guy
didn't know you were brothers

i understand
i'll keep quiet

[earlybird]

Thanks.

Did Pendragon ever tell you mine?

[ He doesn't think so. Saber, like Diarmuid, keeps strictly to her promises. ]

[penisenvy]

no
...wait
how do u know father's name?

[earlybird]

Good.

[ Little jerk is okay with spilling Dick's name but won't tell his own. Rude. ]

She told me. When I was sick. It wasn't a secret or anything.

[penisenvy]

oh
okay
i see
did she
ah
also tell you about me?

[earlybird]

I've known your name since Pendragon called you by it at our battle, Mordred.

[penisenvy]

tch
then i'm warning you
don't go spreading it around.

[earlybird]

Yeah, if my name was Mordred, I wouldn't want it spread around either.

[ Zing! ]

[penisenvy]

wait whats wrong with Mordred
at least its not a bird

[earlybird]

I think Red's cooler.

And Robin isn't my real name.

[penisenvy]

uh
fine
i guess?
no other red servants around

so...it's like with batman, riht?
it's all a secret?

[earlybird]

What? No. It isn't about Servants--

See, look: Mord-red.

It's a nickname, idiot.

And yeah. Same as with Batman. Who you now know is Grayson.

[ There's really no point, is there? ]



--Damian. That's my name. Ta-da.

[penisenvy]

ah
i like it

and Damian, huh?
its a nice, knightly name
even better than Grayson, I'd say

[earlybird]

-Tt.-

[ He's pleased. ]

Even that isn't my original name, but yes, I believe Mother chose well.

[penisenvy]

really now
it wasn't anything silly, was it?
because i know some knights who got saddled with stupid names

(alludes to certain other DCU canons yeeee)

[earlybird]

It wasn't a stupid name. Just one that most of the world has no clue how to pronounce correctly. So, two names, one Anglicized, for convenience.

Although, gramatically, Ibn al Xu'ffasch functions normally as a family name rather than as a given name.

...Maybe a little weird.
