[reneger]

that's a loaded question
long story short: i existed in his space

[fledges]

that's vague
did you beat him in a pretty boy competition or something?

[reneger]

you know that's complete bullshit, you've seen him
he was an only child until i was adopted

[fledges]

oh
i was kidding, actually
is this the guy whose costume you dressed up in or whatever? the one you called an adonis in spandex?

[reneger]

( this is what he gets for venting )

nope

[fledges]

okay
you know i'm not going to spread around the things you tell me, right?

[reneger]

he's better about it now that we've expanded a bit, but
dicky hated me when we met. he moved out, got a job in another city, you know
and there i was, with his father figure. wearing his handmedowns that he left behind, wearing his sneakers. sleeping in his old room.
and fucking loving it. street kids didn't get shit as nice as he had. i ate out of dumpsters before good old dad took me in
he didn't appreciate having someone in his space, with his things, enjoying the life he threw away because
he's a petty little bitch

[fledges]

everything about your family sounds complicated
mine is too, though, so i'm not judging

[reneger]

its what happens when some rich old guy decides he needs to adopt a shitton of kids
and then realizes he has his own

[fledges]

i'm sorry
how many of you guys did he adopt, anyway?

[reneger]

legally, or?

[fledges]

uh
are you implying he kidnapped some of you?

[reneger]

oh definitely
right off the streets of gotham

[fledges]

are you serious?
i can't tell if you're serious

[reneger]

we met when i was trying to jack the tires off his fancy car
he threw me into his car by the scruff of my shirt

[fledges]

what? how old were you?

[reneger]

fourteen? ish

[fledges]

talk about bad boy charm
and then he put you in spandex?

[reneger]

i wanted something to believe in

[fledges]

did you believe in it? helping people?

[reneger]

you sure you want the answer to that?

[fledges]

yep
no judgment

[reneger]

i think some people need to die for the greater good
a bullet into the brain of a prick could save thousands more from suffering
i believe in protecting those that cant protect themselves.
and throwing assholes who take advantage of them right into their fucking graves

[fledges]

[WELL. That sure is honest.]

where's the line between giving someone a second chance and killing them?

[reneger]

there's never a firm line, is there?
sometimes you give someone a second chance and they fuck it over,
murder hundreds, thousands
try to kill your goddamn best friend
guess it depends
