( it's maybe ten minutes after bruce falls into a shadow that jason opens the group chat. ten minutes to check his trackers, ten minutes to wait for bruce to pop back out somewhere growling and bitching like he usually does.

before jason opts to instead - )

prefacing this with i didn't do it
anyone have a location on b?
i don't give a shit where he is, just making sure he still exists somewhere

what's his last location?

[reneger]

less than a few feet from where i'm currently standing
my trackers are all active, i haven't touched any of them

[overlyprecocious]

how long ago?

[reneger]

about ten minutes

[mostdangerousbird]

Negative. Did you have eyes on him when he blipped? My trackers are active, one’s been at an Excelsior high rise for several days and the others are white noise but active. I think he lost or found the first one.

[reneger]

he didn't blip like everyone else
he wrestled a guy into the shadows
the guy popped out
b hasn't

[mostdangerousbird]

You don’t know that conclusively. I don’t understand how the blips work. It’s a possibility he’s no longer in this universe.

[reneger]

the timing doesn't match up

[mostdangerousbird]

You don’t think he’s finally raising his ugly mug again?

[reneger]

hadn't crossed my mind until now

[batinbelfry]

Because that's not suspish at all.

[reneger]

figured if i said he disappeared into the shadows without context it'd be "jason what did you do?"

[mostdangerousbird]

No one thought that.

[reneger]

you didn't

[mostdangerousbird]

I’m the important one.

[reneger]

you're up there

[batinbelfry]

It's B, he always disappears into the shadows. It's like his whole SOP.

[reneger]

but the literal disappearing into the shadows is new
and a thing i had first here

[batinbelfry]

So you're mad he did it to you first.

Did you try texting him first to see if he's just ignoring you?

[reneger]

that was the second thing i tried
i'm not mad
i don't know where you go when you don't step back out and i'm pretty sure he didn't know either

private

[hackingyoursensors]

you're going in after him

[reneger]

i'm the only one who can

[hackingyoursensors]

yeah but you can bring people with you right?

[reneger]

( well. yes. )

i know you're clever and capable
i did think about asking you to come with me given your powerset
but if anything happened to you because you followed me into who knows where i wouldn't be able to live with myself
and i know you would have tagged along knowing and accepting the risk and you probably hate that i'm taking it but not letting you
i would in your shoes
i don't have a good excuse

[hackingyoursensors]

then don't make an excuse
you need someone to watch your back
and his
