You are NOT the father! You're the uncle.
Who: Toon!Dick, Roy, and Lian
What: A reunion and an introduction all in one!
Where: Dick's swingin' bachelor pad
When: Sometime before the Fourth of July
Warnings: Fluff, awkward, awkward fluff, fluffy awkward . . .

[After a very long . . . well it feels like at least a month, one Dick Grayson trudges back home, getting the cab driver he hired to get him from the bus stop to his house to help him lug his bags up to the front porch. He thanks the guy, tips him decently, and sends him on his way, waiting for him to be gone in the woods before unlocking the door and heading inside. And when he remembers that he has a big, strong houseguest.]

Honey, I'm home!

	[Grabbing one of the three bags on the porch to bring in.] Give me a hand, sugarbum? [You know he'd get them all himself but, well, he had a rough week.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Snerks! Strolling on out, nevermind the faint sounds from the living room he just left. They're too soft to be the TV, but you're distracted, maybe you won't notice.] Anything for you, sweetcheeks. You must be just tuckered out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's a little busy pretending he's not wincing.] You don't know the half of it. How'd it go here? I heard you had some trouble with Killer Moth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Yeah, he sees that, but no comment. Will pick up all yer bags though.] Frankly I'm not sure those words belong in the same sentence. Didn't exactly enjoy tangling with his little brood though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Considering the "no trouble" part, he's just going to assume that means you're talking about the moths and not Kitten. Also thanks for the hand.] One of the only reasons he's considered a real threat. Who was the other guy with him? The police report said he had some kind of fixation on Father's Day.

	Really? You've never heard of Gregory Julian Day? ... maybe it was Julian Gregory. Whatever. C'mon, man, it's the Calendar Man, you have to have heard of him. Bigger joke than Dr. Light. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Blank. Well there are worse differences for there to be between dimensions.] Can't say I ever heard of him before yesterday. He was one of the Titans' regulars? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Snort.] Hardly. He went all over the map, don't think he ever got the same beatdown twice. Persistent, though. [Hauls your luggage in, and maybe by now you're together enough to notice something off. Maybe it's the way he's completely relaxed, even in the face of your... gashes, there. (Better be covered up right, man.)] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Eyeroll, smirk, well your good mood's rubbing off anyway, otherwise this might have been bitter.]

Great, just what we need, another persistent costumed criminal.

[What he does eventually notice, though, is that you didn't even jokingly complain about being the baggage boy.]

So? What's got you in such a good mood? Don't tell me you've only been here a week and you already got laid.

	[Okay, there's obviously some trick here, but gonna go along with it anyway. Still smirking at you, though.] Should I've stayed in Gotham another night? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[No dude he is totally serious.] I don't see why, it's not like she's going anywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theoriginalward 2009-07-06 09:06 am UTC (link)
	. . . [okay, he knows he said to make yourself at home, but dude. Eyebrow at you.] So who is this girl? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Bahaha.] The love of my life. [Calling back toward the living room.] Princess? Man of the house is home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[looks up from the mess- uh not mess? What? There are no crayons, no toys, she can't even find that 'surprise' she left for her Uncle the last time she visited. Not that this really surprises her, this ain't exactly the place she remembers. But really a girl has to keep herself entertained somehow, right?]

Uncle Dick!

[A little pink and purple blur with jet black hair comes running - tripping - nvm, she's good! out of the living room to bounce on the spot in front of her uncle. Oh! Oh. :( Sad face.]

Did someone beat you up again?

[Princess? Oh no. Maybe it's just because he found out she was one of the hostages but he's really praying you didn't bring Kitten ho- . . .

What? "Uncle"? Last he checked the only one who could technically give him a niece was only fifteen years old. So what the hell is going on? And geeze wait now she's asking him a question and what was the story he came up with? Oh right right.]

Uh, yeah. Guy tried to grab my wallet.

["Again"? Geez what is going on? Looking up at Roy, did you start babysitting or something?]

	[Quiet snort.] Dick, this is Lian. My daughter. And yeah, she knows. [And that's the fondest, most gentle gaze you've seen on this man, directed down to the little bundle of pink and purple.] Uncle Dick's had a long day, Princess, and remember, he's new. Why don't we go siddown so you can introduce yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Forgive her for eyeing you a little weirdly, Unca Dick! Pop's filled her in on the details, but this still massively messed up stuff we're dealing with. Still, she shrugs - alright, if that's what you wanna do - puffing out one cheek.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

. . . daughter?

[Daughter. Roy Harper's daughter. Roy Harper's daughter. Headshake, okay right alternate universes. We can just leave the luggage here for now 'cause yeah, it's been a very long day. Week. Month.

And hey, no worries kid, he's kind of eyeing you a little weirdly too. But you're Roy's kid, and hey you're kinda cute anyway. So let's just go to the living room and you two can explain this to him.

And hey since you're still in such a good mood, Roy you can have a little smirk.]

Gonna go easy on me?

[Yup, confirms what he was 99% sure of. Welp, all the better to introduce them now. Plopping down on the couch! And leaving an arm open by reflex, though Lian's a little old now to always climb in his lap and snuggle just because. (sigh.)

And a grin.] Don't expect me to rub your feet.

So your Speedy never was a family man, huh?

[Partly for Lian's benefit, and yes the use of the cape name is deliberate.]

	[She'll be crawling up next to you anyway 'cause. weird. But also, she'll be sitting on the edge of the sofa, one hand resting on her Dad's leg for reassurance or whatever, but really right up on the edge because she's curious about her other other Uncle? Listening intently.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Sitting down on the adjacent chair so he can watch you two, as if your word wasn't enough to convince him but yeah, the body language would pretty much confirm it if it hadn't been.

And thinking. Roy's about two years older, Lian is definitely older than two, so not necessarily just something that'll happen in the future. And if it has already happened it means he's been able to hide it from everyone for, what? Four? Five years?

So . . . headshake.]

Not as long as I've known him. I can't really think of any capes that are off the top of my head. [Except J'onn and S.T.R.I.P.E. but those were both before they got in the business so they don't count.]

	We are a pair of special snowflakes. [Wry.] Plus, I gave up Speedy when I went back into the business, after my - heh. My extended paternal leave, you could say. [Ruffles Lian's hair. 'Cause he can.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
