[ True to his word, when Supey arrives, Robin is already on the roof of the apartment. He's leaning against a roof air conditioning unit, two Slurpees in hand, and shoots Supey a wave. ]
I hear there's a smaller version of Gotham here if you ever feel the need to hunt down some villains.
[Oh. Conner definitely knows that feeling - the one of being dumped on someone.]
It's not a good feeling. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the worst thing ever. You don't really know where you stand with him and you want to make a good impression so that maybe he will choose you but the whole time you're just a complete mess.
People fight but he doesn't seriously believe that they won't be friends when this is over.
SB puts a hand on his shoulder.] You are good enough. Batman isn't the kind of guy who makes important decisions lightly so if this one doesn't have a partner named Robin, it's because he hasn't met you yet.

Thanks. [For a moment he just leans back and enjoys his slushie.]
So...Batman, huh?
no subject
Yeah. Batman.
How'd you even deal, dude?
no subject
With a lot of anger and even more hitting things.
You'll probably do better. [Remember Ivo's monkeys. Yeah. That's how he deals with it.]

Of course, you've got some pretty good teammates to cover your back so if you want to be angry, I'll be there.

[ He smiles over at him. It's small and fleeting, but it's there. ]
I just feel like— I don't know, like I got dumped on him or something. He chose me, before, but this time...

[ The prospect of Wally leaving for good scares him more than he wants to admit, even to himself. No. Don't think about it. ]
Yeah. That's— that's exactly how it feels. Like I don't know if just being me is enough.
