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?

::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]

I could... but that might mean I'd have to take steps toward not hacking other people's files.

Do I have to stop doing that?

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Oh, please, are you gonna use the "I need to do it for fighting crime" excuse, now? Because once you start making excuses for some stuff, you start making excuses for everything. "Just one search of Batman's database for an incredibly obscure detail that wouldn't be anywhere else," you say. "Then I'll stop." But Tim, it'll never stop. You addict, you.

[mrsarcastic003]

Well, I do need it for fighting crime, and it's not like the folks at Homeland Security are going to say "Sure, Tim. You can have a look at our files. Help yourself. Just let us know when you're done."

I guess I'll never be free of the need to know.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Do I get your DVD collection when your brain explodes?

[mrsarcastic003]

Only if you swear to take the art movies as well as the action movies.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Sure, nothing like art movies on your shelf to impress chicks.

Doesn't mean I've gotta watch them! *smirk*

[mrsarcastic003]

Why do you think I keep them?

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

...I'd never have expected of you, Tim, you player.

Action flicks are fun, though.

[mrsarcastic003]

::shrugs:: I am a teenager.

Well--yeah. Apparently I get annoying with them, though. At least, that's what Cissie says. It's not my fault if they're all wrong.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

That, my friend, is why no one wants to watch them with you.

[mrsarcastic003]

And that's just sad. I'll just have to watch them with my brothers. They get me.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

You're batty, the lot of you.

[mrsarcastic003]

Yep.

...I can't believe I'm saying that Jason gets me.
