What's the matter?
It was just another lazy afternoon, except Ezra didn't want it to be.

"It totally went well last time. For any objective sense of going well," he argues. "It was a very good first try."

	"Yes, complete with the "you don't know what you're doing" speech from one of Gotham's capes. It's only a matter of time until news spreads and they get on our asses about it," he replies back. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Like she counts! If Mrs. Szasz had actually read us the riot act, I'd be scared, but it's just some girl in the same costume." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ez, Mrs. Szasz wouldn't let just anyone run around in her old costume. Whoever it was, she's likely got her backing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ezra frowned. "Well, I'm still not scared." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's the worst that could happen based on capes' opinions of us? If by some bizarre chance we get arrested, the Dads will get us out. It's not like we're going to get killed; we were pretty good!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I mean it wouldn't be the first time Gotham's capes came down a vigilante they didn't approve of. Okay, so maybe they get us out, what then? We do it again and get put away longer?" He mutters to himself. "Not like we could count on the frikkin' Birds." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I bet Dinah'd play parole officer for us if she had to. She really is nice, Evan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2011-08-29 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Somehow I doubt we'd be her highest priority." He looks over at Ezra. "Speaking of whom, did she actually respond to the hack of yours?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkept 2011-08-29 06:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, she did. I got online yesterday, and she edited the TCP-Stream to say 'We're all fine, thank you. How are you?' It was a work of art, Evan. I've got to think of a way to top that." Ezra grinned almost dreamily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2011-08-29 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Ezra, don't you think maybe you should scale back on the whole..Dinah thing?" He asks, trying to be gentle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkept 2011-08-29 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	Ezra's smile fades. "You say it like I'm trying something. I'm not trying anything. It's conversation. No 'ditch the track star in the gaudy shades and come have dinner with me' or anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2011-08-29 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	"While I agree with your assessment regarding her boyfriend, I'm just looking out for you. I mean," he sighs. "It's not exactly like we've ever been that close with them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkept 2011-08-29 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	"But she's never been hostile either." Ezra flops on the couch, then looks off into the distance, as if listening to something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2011-08-29 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	Now Evan feels bad. "True enough," he admits. "What are you thinking about, Ezra?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The ball game," Ezra says. The radio isn't on. In all this time since he started getting his condition treated, Ezra has never, despite his briliance, managed to figure out to ask if the radio is on when he starts hearing what must ostensibly be on the radio. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2011-08-29 07:10 pm UTC (link)
	Ah crap. "Hang on a sec, Ez." Evan says as he goes into the kitchen to retrieve Ezra's medicine and a glass of water. "Here", he hands him glass and pill. "Why don't I turn off the radio a bit so we can chat. I promise not to go all broody on you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkept 2011-08-29 07:28 pm UTC (link)
	And Ezra takes it, the way he never does when teachers or doctors ask. Only family can get him to down the medication calmly. "Okay," he agrees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2011-08-29 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	Evan then gives him a hug. "Thank you." After a couple seconds he let's go. "So this hero thing is really something you wanna keep doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkept 2011-08-29 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	He hugs back, then lightens up. "Yeah! I mean, honest, Evan. Until the running into the girls part -- which is just a rough edge of things we need to get the hang of -- we were pretty good, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2011-08-29 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I'll admit that. Though we haven't been really tested yet. Those were pretty much just punks and common criminals. We haven't had an opportunity to take on any heavies or 'supervillains', yet," he explained. "I imagine it'd be a different ballgame altogether." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, yeah. But everybody's gotta start somewhere!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2011-08-29 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	"You're right, I know that. I'm just saying it's not time to break out the confetti yet. Did you have ideas for a potential next time?" Evan asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkept 2011-08-29 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	"A few. ...What do you suppose was up with that blonde?" Ezra asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)
