sam

[dickism]

[Dick has become used to having the rooftops of this city pretty much to himself. If he keeps away from the gardens and sitting areas, it’s quiet and largely empty. No other superheroes or villains to interrupt his night, other than his brothers.

Now, as always, being up here clears his head. For a few hours, all of his problems seem small and manageable. It’s that unmatchable adrenaline rush that soothes him more than any meditation or yoga ever could. All he’d need to make it perfect is a crowd.

He’s a little in his own head when he hops to the next rooftop, and so he registers the man already there a split second late. It throws him completely—even in the admittedly low light, the guy still looks older, and there’s no way to just stroll onto this roof. He had to have climbed or jumped.]

Sorry. Am I interrupting?

[evocation]

[Kyna is trying to take Lance's advice—no freaking out. Sam could come back any day. Moping is much different than freaking out, however, and so she's parked herself at the bar at Red Wings, secretly hoping some of her coworkers will take pity on her and give her free drinks. She's also brought in some abomination from a food cart—fries doused in "cheese sauce product", buffalo sauce and fake bacon bits, the sort of cheap ingredients that are probably more salt than anything else. It's perfect for drowning her sorrows in, though.

Sure, yeah, she and Sam weren't dating. They were just sort of sleeping together, and only briefly. And maybe she's still in denial about her forming crush, but there's one thing she isn't in denial about—Sam was one of her closest friends here, and that makes it hurt more than any silly crush or physical attraction could. So yes, she's on her way to getting drunk, and if Sam does come back, he never has to find out.]

terry

[dickism]

[Dick's been doing his best to keep his eye on everyone Batman adjacent, even if none of them are from his world. Terry is no exception, despite the reticence Dick senses from him. It's not that he's following anyone, but it's easier to keep track of the roof hoppers here when they're so few and far between.

So, when he runs into Terry on patrol one night, it isn't on purpose, although he does hop over to the roof Terry is on in that graceful, slightly obnoxious Dick Grayson way.]

Come here often?

[Ha ha.]
