Waiting Up.
Iota was awake when Tomas came home.

"I made us some nachos! Did you destroy the cartel?"

	"No." he grumbles back, in atypically foul spirits. Still, Iota is somewhat infectious. "Nachos are a good consolation prize though." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	hungerstrike 2013-03-06 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Aw. Maybe next time." And she'll share. "What was the fluke?" Because the cartel's survival is obviously a fluke thing. It's not like Tomas'd just fail or something. That'd be ridiculous. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"One of the Bats got in the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yuck. That's rude. Which one?" Iota perched on the side of the couch while stuffing her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The girl, the one who works with the JLA. Today, she was back in Gotham... and tracking the same van." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hungerstrike 2013-03-06 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	"And she botched it. Rotten luck." Iota paused, chewing thoughtfully and thinking a while. Then. "So, was she pretty?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-03-06 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	He's about to expand on just how she botched it, when the second bit catches him completely off guard. "She was...." Annoying. Cocky. Interfering. Plenty of things come to mind. "...Yes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hungerstrike 2013-03-06 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	And Iota smiles. "Well, that's something at least. Momma says if the caped crowd are going to make nuisances of themselves, they should at least be pretty nuisances. Do you think she'll bother you next time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-03-06 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Probably. She seemed to think I should tell her next time I was in town, so we could work together. Bad idea, of course. Bats are nothing but trouble." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hungerstrike 2013-03-06 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Wellll, yeah, of course they are, but maybe it's one of those calculated risks, if you alerted her so she wouldn't botch it, or so at least you could plan for how she was going to botch it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-03-06 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Given the usual Bat-issues, all non-lethal, probably not even crippling anyone. Makes a lot of jobs harder, more risky. But at least she wouldn't be as in the way. Its a thought. A tricky one... but a thought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hungerstrike 2013-03-06 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	Iota listens and nods. "And sure, maybe not every job, I mean, you're definitely not going to invite her for any family things or outside of Gotham stuff, just some, to guarantee no interruptions out of nowhere. And sure, it'll be hard, but you can always do hard. You and Carolyn do training exercises that are harder than pulling a non-lethal job all the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anti_venom 2013-03-06 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, but none of those involve doing things the bat-way. Or risking them taking too much interest in our family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hungerstrike 2013-03-07 04:49 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm. Good point. Well, I know you'll make the best decision about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
