I need a vacation so badly.

Comments

[onthe_threshold]

Why?

[nightwingbynight]

It's been a weird ass couple of days.

[onthe_threshold]

Do tell.

[nightwingbynight]

Classified. Suffice to say it included me getting stabbed with a stick.

[onthe_threshold]

...like from a tree?

[nightwingbynight]

I think? Could have been a knife. Either way, hurt like a bitch.

[onthe_threshold]

You lead a dangerous life.

So, in a perfect world, where would you vacation?

[nightwingbynight]

As do all interns. As do we all...

Huh. Somewhere with no communication devices.

[onthe_threshold]

Uh huh.

Warm or cold?

[nightwingbynight]

I would tell you of Intern War II, but it is something we do not speak of.

Doesn't matter. I can be a beach or ski bunny.

[onthe_threshold]

It sounds so interesting, though.

Do you climb mountains?

[nightwingbynight]

I can't. They're monitoring everything.

Climb every mountain. Ford every stream. Follow every rainbow, until I find my dream.

[onthe_threshold]

I'm a former spy type, it's okay to tell me.

...is that... a yes?

[nightwingbynight]

Hah. That makes it so not okay to tell you.

[And then... Babs begins to sing.]

A dream that will need
All the love you can give,
Every day of your life
For as long as you li-- OW.

[She sighs, a hand going to her side.] Right. Stabbed.

[onthe_threshold]

Dang.

That was pretty good! You okay?

[nightwingbynight]

It was pretty god damned magnificent! And yeah, I'm good. Just rather not pop a stitch belting out a note, you know?

[onthe_threshold]

Understandable.

Can I get you anything?

[nightwingbynight]

Impervious skin. That'd be great.

[onthe_threshold]

I wish! Or a healing factor. I'd give my left nut for a healing factor.

[nightwingbynight]

[The tank sucks. Babs hates the tank, even if it does a bang up healing job.]

It's a strange world we live in, when testicles are considered fair trade.

[onthe_threshold]

Yeah, nobody actually wants em.

[nightwingbynight]

Well, they do really only have one use...

[onthe_threshold]

Which is why healing powers would be way better!

[nightwingbynight]

Truth. Ain't gonna happen, though, so I'll just have to suffer really loudly.

[onthe_threshold]

Yeah. Lame. I could use them, I get beat up a LOT.

[nightwingbynight]

Aww, honey, you should stand up for yourself.

[onthe_threshold]

Hey, you should see the other guy!

[nightwingbynight]

Uh huh. That's what they all say.

Crossovers ftw?

[nothawkette]

There's no rest for the wicked, Barbie. So we can't rest either.

ftw!

[nightwingbynight]

You know, I'm pretty sure wicked takes a nap now and then.

Superhero girls have to stick together

[nothawkette]

Yeah, see, the problem with the wicked is, while one is napping, there's something else out there causing problems.

[nightwingbynight]

That's why I'm in favour of this whole rotating shifts idea.

[nothawkette]

Yeah, I don't think that'll happen. I mean, with organized groups like the Justice League and The Avengers, that would be cool. But then you have the lone wolf types who'll refuse to be told what to do.

[nightwingbynight]

I'm, like, a pro with lone wolf types.

[nothawkette]

I know this guy. He likes to do the lone wolf thing. But he ends up getting dragged into group work.

At least mine isn't dark and brooding.

[nightwingbynight]

He's not dark and brooding, he "is the night".

[nothawkette]

God no. Clint could never be like that. He's too much of a goofball.

[nightwingbynight]

I don't have enough goofballs in my life.

[onthe_threshold]

I'm serious! I almost never lose. I just don't have a healing factor, so I don't walk away unscathed. ...unless powers are involved, then I just win hands down.
