yeah. but i'll always have his back regardless. that's what friends do.

It's good that he has a friend like you around now. You being here probably makes all of this easier.

[Especially at this younger age. Younger Damian is a whole lot less socially competent compared to his older self.]

( it's a little challenging sometimes, but. doesn't mean he'll give up. )

do you have someone like that here?

[Ugh, this is a question he wishes he could avoid.]

No. No one else from my universe has ever ended up here.

well you can still have friends here even if they’re not from home.

Still not interested in having friends, brat.

right. too serious for that. ok we'll call them acquaintances.

Fine.

[Even calling them acquaintances feels like a lot....]

Yeah, I know people like that here. There are a lot of good people in Etraya.

yeah, it seems like it. you're not too bad yourself. 😊

Don't get the wrong idea, brat. I'm not a good person.

( wow. ok, damian. )

well you STILL owe me a race either way. 😊

I know, I know. Since we're done with the mission, I'm free whenever.

are there gonna be stakes involved?

Stakes? You want to bet?

i mean that’s what people do right?

Yeah, I guess, for fun or some shit. Any idea what you want to bet?

something good??

( boy, he's bad at this. )

wait. is your leg better?

[There's a few minutes before Accelerator texts back a response. Jon can't be meaning what happened out in the fog, there's no way he could know his knee was broken. He hasn't mentioned it to anyone, so the only people who would know are John and Harold.

Besides, it's not like it matters. Echo's resurrection brings you back to your previous state of health, so he's back to normal, and his left left in particular is back to its regular weakened state.]

My leg is the same as it always is, brat.

oh. you still need your crutch? maybe you should see a doctor here?

( it’s been awhile since the snakes at wcdonalds after all. )

[This child needs to stop being so nice.]

I need the crutch for the rest of my life. My brain injury is permanent.

( right. he said something about that, didn’t he? about that guy, too. he frowns a little at the message. )

sorry. you should come over sometime though. or i can come over.

[That's a sudden swerve in the conversation that makes Accelerator blink in confusion.]

What? Why?

( because this guy clearly needs some company or a pal. )

i don't really know many people here??

You have your mom and dad. And Robin.

[That's... three people! That's so many people!]

Have you met Toph?

ok and?? i can know you too.

( gosh. )

and i haven’t but that doesn’t really have anything to do with whether or not you want to hang out.

(no subject)
