[ Christmas Day dawns and Bruce... realizes he's missing a few days in there. Not much may have been said over the journals when everyone was shrunken, but it's enough to make him realize that the castle has been up to its usual mischief. Luckily for him, though, he didn't have any celebrations planned with the family, which meant he had time to wrap the very few amount of presents he was giving out to people and to finish writing the letters he'd started.

Sometime in the evening (it didn't take him all day, he was just waiting for the shadows in the halls to get longer) he moves out, dropping presents off at doors and looking rather uncomfortable as he wanders through the castle with shiny, wrapping-paper wrapped boxes in his arms. That whatever deities are out there that there's not many boxes.

But that wouldn't mean it wouldn't be somewhat embarrassing for him to be caught, all in black, though not in uniform, skulking through the shadows. And, hey, if you're on his list, means you get your present right then. ]

Who else has been telling you that?

Kate's said something similar.

Kate Kane? Do you know her well?

[ She's the one member of the Batfam he hasn't really had a chance to work with at all yet, they've just done the smalltalk thing. SO. Inquisition time. ]

Nnnnnot really. She kinda scares me.

Really?

Tall. Redhead. [SCARY.]

And Barbara's instilled in you a fear of strong, redheaded women. [ pffffft. ]

Yes! Exactly. [Smiles! YOU GOT IT BRUCE, though she's mostly kidding.

... maybe.]

[ Trying so hard not to smile. You crack him up, Steph. ]

She's not-- [ pause ] -- she's not as scary as you're making it sound.

[Smiling won't kill you, Bruce!]

I know. But she CAN be. My Babs, anyway. In a very loving way.

The one here can be, too. Her escrima sticks are something to watch out for.

This one's yet to look like she wants to hug-punch me, so I'll just take your word for it.

When we end up working in her lab, you may get that look.

[ Bruce will probably get it more often, but. ]

Gee, now I feel like proving you wrong.

Success is the best revenge.

I don't do revenge, unfortunately. New Years resolution. Oh well! [Will be a nuisance :) ]

That doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to succeed.

It's not school or a life or death situation. I can afford to have fun.

[brb making Bruce rethink this whole training thing.]

You sound like Tim.

Your Tim?

So I'm some weird Dick, Tiny Tim hybrid?

No. You're one hundred percent Stephanie Brown.

[ And this is a good thing! ]

[... ffffffffff, smiles. STOP SAYING NICE THINGS, BRUCE.]

You're really going to have to make up for all these nice things by kicking my ass later.

[ SMIRKITY SMIRK SMIRK SMIRK. ]

Oh, I plan to.

[... doesn't like that. B| ]

I'm not going to make it easy for you.

That's what I should be saying to you.
