definitely confirms they were talking about him. like hell the other jason would be able to do anything. or would want to.
he barely wanted to-- and only so much as knowing every power he could made it easier for him to defend himself, or to know who to gank powers from. it was practicality, not altruism. And he glances over Bucky, prejudging him. ]
Sure. I can try. [ an annoyed exhale. ] But good to know Dick's just advertising that.
no subject
[ This was not the case. It's mostly a joke, that he even says it. ]
Kate Bishop's from my world. If you want to dig up all the info on me.
[ That's not how you make a thing square, but it's what comes to him then, because there's nothing really to apologize for. ]
no subject
[ weird.
he thought he was bad at small talk, but this is kind of the second worst conversation he's been in in a month.
he gets where the offer is coming from, might even take him up on it. but he has no clue why he'd care otherwise. ]
Literally don't need to know any of that, but thanks anyway.
no subject
[ Bucky looks off to the side, moving his eyes but not his neck. In fact, Bucky's generally pretty good at small talk. He is quite socially competent with little old ladies, to whom he is a "very polite young man." ]
Dick didn't tell me about any of the sidekick stuff.
[ Only powers. ]
no subject
[ a beat ]
Or maybe he didn't say jack shit and you heard it from someone else, since you wanna telegraph so bad.
[ he can only play dumb for so long. ]
no subject
I don't know how you're supposed to help me figure out my powers. Gotta be your power, right?
no subject
[ there's a shrug. ]
I can copy powers. So, whatever power you've got, I can copy it. Even if you don't know what it is yet.
no subject
Yes, that is what he wanted. But who gets what they want, really. ]
Well, here, catch. [ And he tosses Jason the can of beer, underhanded. ]
no subject
Thanks, again?
This is super fucking awkward.
no subject
[ Manners, kid. ]
no subject
Who told you about the sidekick thing?
no subject
[ The one whose name is Jason Todd on the network. ]
no subject
[ he doesn't sound surprised, just a little annoyed. ]
Anyway, thanks for the beer.
[ he tips it lightly towards him. ]
You don't want my help, we probably don't have much to talk about.
no subject
[ He has also met future alternate universe versions of himself, but who really wants to join that support group? ]
You can use my power on that.
no subject
[ he basically has no power right now. it's the nature of being a copycat.
he's got something for an hour, and then the rest of the time, it's like being back in Gotham. ]
no subject
[ Maybe that's prying, but it's not like the kid has to tell him anything. ]
no subject
It's not like some radar or whatever. And it's not like I know what I've got when I get it.
[ maybe he shouldn't tell him, but, you know. he's putting some faith in the fact that dick trusted him. ]
no subject
Do you wanna do this?
[ He can make the offer, at least. ]
no subject
So why are you offering?
no subject
[ Basically. And if he's honest, there's one other thing, which is a lot harder to explain. ]
Also, maybe you want a power for… however long it is you get to keep it.
no subject
but he can handle himself without a power, so. he looks at the beer, considering. ]
Fine.
But I don't need powers. Let's get that part straight.
no subject
[ He really does. ]
no subject
raises an eyebrow, and says nothing else.
but he does shoulder-check him as he passes, out into the night.
and he's staring at the can. what sort of power did he get passed-- something that could be used on beer. ]
This got an emotional trigger?
no subject
[ Probably not, right? Really, Bucky barely knows how this works. He hasn't practiced much. ]
My friend Toro told me that figuring out how to use his powers was like learning how to let go and hold on at the same time. I've been trying to figure out what he meant.
no subject
[ because he's gotten to use both more than once.
But fine. he has to dig deep to the same place he always does. he was able to figure out Caroline's, right? just. give him a minute.
he should probably be more careful about activating the blue glow-- but hey.
bucky was right, there isn't an emotional trigger. ]
