Hypothetically speaking...

If you found out your dad wasn't your dad, what would you do? Would you care? Would it change anything?

Would you want to find out who is? Should you?



And what if you don't want to?

Well, speaking of someone who did find out. Or something like that. Neither Luthor or Westfield or even Superman was really ever my dad.

I guess if you think it's likely that your dad's planted some kinda brainwashing suggestion in your mind, you should figure it out. Otherwise, well, it doesn't really change who you are.

I hope.

You have a point.

....You know, somehow I can very sincerely tell you that it doesn't matter who your parents are, but applying the same advice to myself is ridiculously hard.

Why is that? >_

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Cause you're human and you wonder about stuff.

Why do you think your dad might be someone else?

::laughs:: I guess you're right.

It was a while ago--before you came back--I had to write an autobiography for school and I found out my mom was lying about when I was born. I mean--she always said I was born premature, but premie babies aren't usually seven pounds, right?

So I asked Tim to look into it for me, and it turns out that my blood type is B but Dad's was A and--yeah. Kind of impossible.

I have talked to Mom about it, but... I just don't know if I want to know. I mean--I don't know if I even want to care, does that make sense?

OOC: Yeah, this is all based on a fic I've had in the works for ages and decided I may as well use it for RPing, too. ;)

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it does make sense. It's like how I told Tim not to test my DNA cause I didn't want to know I had Luthor genes in me.

I guess it's up to you. I can totally see why you wouldn't want to know and also why you would.

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I mean--God, it could be *anyone.* (Also, ew, I so didn't ever need to think about my mother's sex life. Good thing I'm already *in* therapy?)

I keep thinking about Dad. I remember him, you know? Tim thinks he knew about all of this and I don't really know what to think about that.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

I think you should find out. Maybe it'd make things easier. Otherwise you'll just keep agonizing over it, you know?

Well, you know Tim. He's gotta know everything. Freaky little Bat.

It's not my fault I have access to the best computers in the world.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

You're fault you use them!

[mrsarcastic003]

Dude, I question the sanity of anyone who has access to Batman's computers and chooses not to use them.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Maybe there's stuff it's better not to know.

[mrsarcastic003]

That's... probably true. Yet I can't seem to make myself not want to find things out anyway.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

That's cause you're a freaky little Bat.

You know, admitting you've got a problem is the first step.

[mrsarcastic003]

I'm not sure wanting to know things is a problem.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

You could go to "Knowledge-Seekers Anonymous" meetings.

[mrsarcastic003]

You already know what I think about this, and it's your decision. I would probably want to know, because--like Kon said--I like to know everything or, at least--as much as I can.

But--your decision.

And if I found out my dad was really Bruce...? Maybe I'd wish I didn't know...

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

I know. I just kind of feel like it would be like betraying Dad, and how melodramatic is that? UGH.

...Ohgod.

[mrsarcastic003]

It's okay either way--you don't have to know. But I don't think your Dad would mind. Oh, Ciss. I'm sorry this is so hard for you.

No, your father is not Bruce.

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm sorry I keep whining about it. I just--can't seem to make up my mind.

Thank you. That--ew. Not that Bruce is--oh, you know what I mean.

[mrsarcastic003]

I don't think you're whining--it would be a hard decision for anyone.

Hey--considering his only biological kid the the Brat, I wouldn't want to be related to him either.

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

I know. I just feel like I'm being a pain about this.

I was thinking more along the lines of 'ew, my boyfriend would be my adoptive brother' but you make an equally valid point to be grateful for.

[mrsarcastic003]

You're not. Trust me.

Thank you.

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

I love you, you know that?

[mrsarcastic003]

I do, but I don't get tired of hearing it. ::grin:: I love you, too.

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

And I don't get tired of saying it, or hearing you say it, so it works nicely. :)
