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?

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.

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.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

I guess someone's gotta. It'd be really useful if someone wrote a Batguidebook or something.

[mrsarcastic003]

I'll see what I can do about finding something like that for... everyone I know.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Best idea ever.

[mrsarcastic003]

Of course, I'll have to leave out all of the classified verbal and non-verbal cues. You know, like any Bat to human translation of "I'm hurt" or "I'm experiencing an emotion."

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

...lemme guess, it'll be a very, very short packet. Short and not saying much. Kinda like you.

[mrsarcastic003]

I think I resent that. Who's short? I've grown... some...

And besides. I can say entire volumes with a raised eyebrow. All of that will have to be in the dictionary.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

If Bart would stand still for long enough for us to compare, I bet he'd be taller than you.

Oh yes, your Very Expressive Eyebrow. One problem, your mask covers it!

[mrsarcastic003]

Ha. We'll see. If he stands still.

Says the dude with the x-ray vision. Besides--it's not my problem if the rest of you can't read subtle shifts in the angle of my mask.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Hey, if it's any consolation, you're still taller than Oberon.

Hey, I don't x-ray my friends!

Will the book cover all that?
