Cast of Characters: Batman, Red Robin, Jubilee




Batman has posed:
    It has been a bit over a day and a half since the attempt on Bruce Wayne's life at Wayne Tower. Although the police reported he was recuperating at home, the truth was he left the Family with no real hint of where he was or what he was doing save that he was safe. So, when his car pulls into the forecourt of Wayne Manor it is unannounced and entirely without warning. He just rolls back into the place like he never left.
    In the driver's seat of the fashionable roadster, Bruce glances sidelong at the young lady in the passenger seat. Jubilee. As he turns the key and lets the engine die, he leans forward to peer out the windscreen at the Manor proper. For a moment he opens his mouth to say something but then changes his mind, instead opening the driver's side door and climbing out.

Red Robin has posed:
    "And I will see you all in the next video, buh-bye!" And with that, camera off, and video saved. "I never yeled so much in my life.. think I might need a halls." Tim says as he brings up his video editing software and begins to load in assets to use. While his headphones are on, he doesnt hear the security camera go off for Bruce's car, though he also hasen;t seen damian in a while, maybe the little squirt took a car for a joy ride. Tim isn't going to stop him, let the kid get out of his own mess if alfred catches him.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee's mouth is open too, but only out of sheer awe. "Y-you live here? Just like...shuffle to the fridge in the bathrobe and eat cheetos in the grand hall kinda live?" She opens the door and leans out, suddenly glad she at least opted for a dress. Even if it's a little plain black a-line. "What do you do here that doesn't break things? I'll wanna focus on that first."

Batman has posed:
    "You're not going to break anything," Bruce says in his best quiet, reassuring voice, "And didn't you live in a mansion at some point? Before you moved into the cabin, I mean."
    He pauses for a moment at the front door, as though he expects it to open for him. When he doesn't he says aloud, "Alfred must be out." It makes sense. There are more than a handful of errands that need to be run to keep Wayne Manor running smoothly all by oneself.
    Bruce pushes open the front door, moving so Jubilee can step in before him. A momentary glance around the foyer, his detective's mind pieces together a handful of miniscule clues to inform a conclusion. He calls out up the stairs: "Tim?"

Red Robin has posed:
"And we want to make sure the... wait a minute." Tim says talking to himself as he looks to another screen, he sees Bruce's roadster. "Holy crap!" He says as he doesnt check any other camera and bolts out of his studio on the second floor, a room that is covered in sound dampening foam and computer monitors. As he bounds out to the balcony, he leaps from the banister in a full body twist and makes a three point land, perfectly one might add, right into the center of said foyer, the rug he lands on ruffles with the force of his land and he looks up, now sligghtly aghast. "Um... hi!"

Tim wears a sleeveless red shirt with a cloak symbol on the front (clothing line) and black shorts and sneakers. His natrualy black hair has a stream of red at the top and he wears wire framed glasses, not to mention he is clearly half korean. "I uh.. see you brought company... um.. Dick taught me a cool trick.. that you already saw..."

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee just takes in the whole scene. And Tim's whole move. It doesn't even seem to faze her. She's used to those kind of antics back at Xavier's. "I lived in a mansion but it was heavily...reinforced. And unbreakable." Except for when it breaks.

Offering a smile to Tim, Jubilee pauses, them furrows her brow, squinting and adjusting the brass goggles atop her head, holding her long dark waves back out of her face. "Wait...I know you...."

Batman has posed:
    Bruce plasters on a big smile as he watches Tim conduct her acrobatic feat and land before them. However, there is something in his eyes that says: 'We are going to discuss your situational awareness a bit later.' As the former Robin can attest, there are wide variety of irritating and downright painful drills covering that skill. But right now, Bruce lets out an impressed laugh: "Impressive! Impressive!"
    As Jubilee tries to puzzle where she's seen Tim before, Bruce makes the introductions: "Tim, this is Jubilee. Jubilee, this is Tim - the second youngest and, as you can see, an acrobat now." He lets Tim explain his celebrity status. Even Batman can't get a proper handle on /that/ whole thing.

Red Robin has posed:
"Well then Jubilee, welcome to Chateu de Wayne." Tim says with a silly fake french accent. "Know me? What? have I thretend you before?" He asks with a silly grin, some quote from a pirate movie twenty years ago or some such.

The Doorbell rings and time blinks. "OH it's here!" he says as he walks over to the door and opens it to greet the delivery man, who hands tim a simple vanilla envelope. "Thanks!" he says as he turns and looks at Bruce with a smirk. "Bet you can't guess what this is?" he says as he deftly covers the heading on the envelope.

Jubilee has posed:
"It's clearly an envelope," Jubilee chirps helpfully. "And no, I've seen you online!" She grins and looks from Tim to Bruce in a quasi - quizzical manner. She recognizes that look. She's gotten that look. "Ain't no lan'lubber ever threatened me an' lived to tell the tale," she adds in Pirate's Brogue.

Batman has posed:
    Bruce shakes the look the moment he notices Jubilee looking, packing away any of those tips as to just what goes on underneath Wayne Manor. As Tim receives the delivery at the door, Tim tilts his head slightly to one side and looks intently at the envelope. Once again, a dozen different clues come together through abductive reasoning. In the end, however, it would seem unusual for him to Carnac the envelope so he simply laughs again: "When she's right, she's right. It's an envelope ... book list for next semester?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks at the both of them with a roll of his eyes. "Well if you guys are going to be snarky about it, then I guess you don't want to know what's IN the envelope." He says as he tucks the envlope under his arm and walks off. "And Yes Ms. Lee, you have seen me online." He clears his throat. "Hello everyone, my name's Timiplier, and welcome to amnesia." He says, the slightly deep voice he natrualy has sounding like whiskey over ice as he does his 'intro' for the pair of them.

Jubilee has posed:
"Nooo, tell us, Timiplier...You got me all curious, now." She nudges Bruce with a wink, as he stands there stoic and still. "Bruce is practically giddy with the notion of finding out what's in there too. You can see it in his....er...smile..."

Batman has posed:
    "Yeah, can't you see? Giddy."
    Bruce gestures at his face, putting on the half-smile that barely even qualifies as one but which those close to him know is about as close to grinning like an idiot as he gets. Then, with a quick and preternaturally agile motion he steps forward and plucks the enveloped from underneath Tim's arm. He's already tearing it open neatly before any complaints can be registered and reads it just as swiftly.
    His eyes widen and then that same smile is replaced by an actual, honest-to-goodness beaming grin the likes of which one just never sees from Bruce Wayne outside the public persona he puts on. He lunges forward to wrap an arm around Tim, slapping him on the back resoundingly. He hands the slip of paper over to Jubilee, so she can look also, before turning to face Tim with a very serious expression: "If you show me a letter from Harvard next week I'm disinheriting you."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim smiles widly. "Well, I figured with your office getting attacked, and all that, you might like some good news, and I knew it means a lot to you." he says with a smile as he pats bruce back. "And I burned their application leter they sent after I submitted my portfolio to Yale." Because one, Boston is even colder than the tri state area, and second, he can hold this over Damian's head for eeeever.

Jubilee has posed:
"Wow! That's impressive. Even MORE so if that's something...you /want/ to do...?" Jubilee looks hopeful, but somehow genuinely impressed. "I don't know where you find the dedication, but it's something I admire." Her smile is warm and genuine.

Batman has posed:
    "He'll do it with his eyes close and his hands tied behind his back," Bruce says to Jubilee, "At this point I'm sure college is just a matter of crossing some t's and dotting some i's. Tim's a genius."
    On the tail end of the celebration, Bruce moves back towards Jubilee and puts an arm around her shoulder. A loaded gesture, it would seem: "So are we all going to have lunch together or ... " He trails off.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim blinks at Bruce. "I'm not that smart Bruce." He is, aside from Reed Richards and MAYBE lex luthor, Tim is one of the smartest people alive, just his academics arent aimed towards the sciency stuff. "Lunch is good, but ah.. why not tell me about you two?" he says with a smirk as he looks down at himself. "Over lunch, and I need to change, um, what did you have in mind Bruce? Alfred is gone for most of the day, errands and he decided that Tea at some british fancy place was a good break from all the action happening here." Might not look like it, but get All four boys here and a few others, and the wayne manor feels alot smaller and a whole lot louder. "Maybe she can help me convince you to do a Vid with me one time Bruce."
