It's a nanobomb too so that's like extra shit to deal with. What if someone gets in there and can't even see it? Just digging around in there.

... is that surgeon you know legit? Like legit legit? Maybe he could refer someone.

... or Riddler says he figured it out but when I asked for details he just wrote "trust me" and the wink emoji.

[twoton_twentyone]

Ew, I didn't even think about that. Jeeze.

[ He made a noise as he thought about it. ]

Pretty sure he's not like, legit, legit. But I can ask.

...I don't know if I'd trust a wink emoji with your brain. Dude, this sucks.

[revmeup]

I think Riddler likes me enough not to explode my head on purpose, but I for sure don't want to be test subject number one.

[ She sighed and rubbed the back of her neck. ]

Yeah, it does suck, but I've had it for years. So. I dunno, if I get it out they might just put a new one in as soon as they can.

[twoton_twentyone]

I would hope so, you guys sound like your bros from what I've heard.

[ Henches, a bunch of gossipers.]

That's a fair point, I mean, I'm going to keep worrying about it, but it seems like a damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of deal. Majorly harsh though. A nanobomb. That's just cruel.

[revmeup]

It's not even an explosion so much as a pop and suddenly there's no head where some schmuck used to have a head.

That's not usually what takes someone out though. I've only seen it detonated like ... twice? Mostly casualties are cuz of real dumb shit. Task Force X is the official title but we all call it the Suicide Squad.

[twoton_twentyone]

Ugh, god now I can picture it, dude. That's so fucked up!

[ Granted, he knows she's seen and caused some serious gore, but he could still be a big baby about it. ]

...Okay, I hate it more, wow. I didn't know that was possible. How is this even allowed to happen? It's like, so inhumane.

[revmeup]

Convicts aren't real people. Everyone knows that.

[twoton_twentyone]

Must have missed the memo, dude. Some of my favorite people are convicts, or ex-convicts.

[revmeup]

That's what the government said! They signed off on the whole thing.

[twoton_twentyone]

Fuck the government. [ He grumbled a little. ]

Are you at least back in Gotham?

[revmeup]

Yeah, I'm back for now. Might leave town again. I never did get that vacation.

[ He can hear her pouring a drink. ]

My apartment building blew up a while back and then I was doing all that other shit, so I'm couch surfing for now.

[twoton_twentyone]

Dude, that fucking sucks. All of that and you still didn't get to chill? You should go to Cancun! It's awesome. We used to go every winter.

[ This was part of why he learned Spanish when he was younger.]

Oh shit, are Bruce and the old dude good? Are you good? I know I keep asking but just, sounds like a lifetime of stuff's happened since we last talked, man. Couch surfing sucks, dude.

[ Yet, he didn't offer, mostly figuring he'd need to ask Monarch and Sheila before he even could offer to her. ]

[revmeup]

[ She didn't expect an offer. Villains were territorial. ]

Doc sold me out and skipped town. Bruce got picked up by a zoo while I was gone.

[twoton_twentyone]

[ That was why he was worried about asking. He already knew Monarch thought she would distract him as it was. ]

Holy shit, like that dude seemed solid. You can't trust anyone these days. [ He's quiet a moment. ] Harley, dude, I got nothing going on tonight. How about we go break into that zoo?

[ Sure, he was still scared of Bruce, but if he couldn't offer her a place, maybe he could help get Bruce back. Not like the cops can touch a guild member.]

[revmeup]

[ She makes a pained noise. ]

That's so sweet of you but as much as I miss my baby I've got nowhere to take care of him yet.

It's okay. I'm used to starting over.

[twoton_twentyone]

[ That noise hurt.

He so wanted to go ask Sheila and remind Malcolm they're partners now, he should have a say. But this was Malcolm's childhood home...]

A rain check then, you call me when we're going to get him, okay? So, where are you tonight? I could swing out and see you if you want, no pressure, though. I've got the time again.

[ He hadn't told her of the tenning, or that they were once again benched due to the shocker that was tossed at them as soon as they were promoted. ]

[revmeup]

Aw geez. I would so love one of your hugs right now, but Scarecrow would be super pissed if I gave out his address.

[ Maybe she could meet him somewhere. ]

Missed you bunches.

[twoton_twentyone]

[ That was a terrified sound. ]

Oh god no, don't give me Scarecrow's address, I'd rather not be scared to death. [ He shuttered at the thought of it. She knew some scary, scary guys. ] I missed you too dude, and you can absolutely have all the hugs you want.

You know, I'm not broke right now, I could rent us a room and bring one of my game systems if your cool with that?

[revmeup]

... Yeah. Yeah that sounds really great.

How many condoms should I bring?

[twoton_twentyone]

Cool, I can do that. Do you know a good spot in Gotham to rent a room?

[ Though he did make a noise, almost one of uncertainty. A moment of silence before he finally spoke up. ]

Dude, you totally don't have to bring any. I want to be there with you, but we don't have to have sex for that to happen.

[ He wouldn't say no if it came up, but that anxious feeling deep inside of him wouldn't let him not say it. ]

[revmeup]

There isn't a good spot in Gotham to rent a room. It's Gotham.

[ She considers. Jon might give her a ride in his truck if she gets annoying about it. ]

We could meet in Trenton again?

[twoton_twentyone]

That's fair, and I really don't want my game system stolen if we run out on a 7/11 run.

[ It's Gotham. He's heard some shit. Harley was a brave woman risking that truck just to go to Trenton. ]

Yeah, I can do that. I still have the info from last time. [ Gary had stolen a note pad just to do it before they left last time. ] I'll call and make the reservations. So, Xbox, PlayStation, or switch? Pick your poison, dude.

[revmeup]

Switch, please! It has better co-op games.

You're the best. You know that, right?

[twoton_twentyone]

Sweet! I so got this. I'll bring my case of games too, so we have choices! Want me to bring a wireless controller for you too?

[ He chuckled at her sweet words. ]

I try, and you know, what are friends for? Right?

[revmeup]

If you don't mind.

[ She grinned into the phone. He could probably hear it in her voice. ]

Right, yeah. I just seriously love you and you should know.
