[The camera shakes a bit as it turns on, revealing an extreme close-up of a blonde teenage girl bundled in a blanket. As she pulls back, a room is shown in a general state of disarray with clothes thrown over every surface.]

Just my luck I got stuck here before I grew any. I gotta find me some clothes, 'cause these?

[She holds up a tiny, child-sized pair of jeans with a raised eyebrow.]

Ain't exactly gonna cut it this time.








[ooc: Bobby is sixteen for the weekend! Have fun, City.]

[horseish]

I told you I'd pay. I don't like owing nobody favors.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Fine.

[He shows her the receipt.]

You got that much sitting around?

[horseish]

[She got her stash out when she went back into her room and counts out the cash for him. She learned a long time ago about paying off her debts.]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[He's not exactly surprised that a ten year old managed to save up that much money -- he was like that as a kid, too -- but it is a nice change to see someone paying back their debts right away. Most people accept his offer of returning a favor.]

[horseish]

[She gets an allowance in the city, that's more than she ever had before in her life. And she has every intention of being smart with it.]

You hungry? I'm starving.

[Granted she usually is and there's so much food here. And she found out there's frozen pizza in the freezer.]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Sure, I'm always hungry.

[Although he thinks he probably shouldn't eat all of the food there, because he's still not sure how Bruce feels about him.]

[horseish]

[You brought her clothes, pizza seems like a fair trade off. She rips the package open, and JARVIS helpfully begins preheating the oven. A little uncanny, but there was no way she was going to work out how to turn that thing on.]

I wish I could bring this stuff back with me. Save half a day's work.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[He nods.]

Do we know for sure you can't take stuff back with you? I guess it stands to reason...

[horseish]

Don't really know how it would. But it ain't like I know how any of this place works.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

None of us do, but I'd sure like to.

[horseish]

You ever work it out, make sure you write it down somewhere people here can find it.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Believe me, if I did, everyone would know about it.

[horseish]

Good. I hate all the secrets in this place.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Sounds like there're a lot of secrets at home, too.

[horseish]

It's a family tradition.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

That's not the kind of family tradition anyone enjoys.

[horseish]

If people liked doin' 'em they wouldn't need be traditions, would they?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Well, there are fun traditions.
