Kyle sees that posture change and smiles. He leans forward, lowering his voice to almost a whisper. 'The B from my world might not like Lanterns, but he still looked out for me, where he could. That's not gonna change across universes. I owe him that much.'

Then he leans back. 'Huh, I'd have thought Mr. Pennyworth would be the one in charge of making sneaking out impossible. Or is that what you were referring to?'

Dick smiles.

"Who else? Bruce can't exactly yell at me for staying out late."

[imaginate]

Kyle laughs, deep, and genuine. 'Aw man. He would. I miss his cookies.'

[hackingyoursensors]

Dick seems... slightly surprised. He didn't quite realize Kyle and Bruce had worked that closely.

"I've missed Alfred's cooking since day 1. Though Bruce managed edible stir-fry."

[imaginate]

Kyle laughs. 'No way. He always cheats at League potlucks!'

[hackingyoursensors]

"People don't really believe he makes any of that food, do they?"

[imaginate]

'We almost did. Almost.'

[hackingyoursensors]

"Seriously? He can't even make coffee." He smiles conspiratorially. "It's pretty bad."

[imaginate]

Kyle looks "horrified". 'I think I'm learning much more about B than I'll ever be comfortable with. It messes with the whole... tall dark mysterious thing.'

[hackingyoursensors]

"It's even worse when you actually live with him."

Dick looks thoughtful for a moment. "I didn't know you guys were close. Well, close-ish."

[imaginate]

'We're not, not really.' He pauses. 'I'm hang around the Arrows and the speedsters a lot more than your crowd. It's the League, they were my first family.'

[hackingyoursensors]

Dick looks like he has a question he wants to ask, but thinks better of it.

"Yeah. They're kind of mine too."

[imaginate]

Kyle knows what that expression means but he supposes they'd had enough heartbreak for one day.

'Just Us League.' He chuckles softly.

[hackingyoursensors]

"The craziest family you could ever be a part of."

[imaginate]

'Oh yeah, you can say that again.'

[hackingyoursensors]

Dick smiles slightly and takes a bite of his now half-melted ice cream.

"At least we're not alone."

[imaginate]

Kyle smiles, nods, and finishes his own ice cream. Then, he stretches. 'Man, I feel like I just talked your ears off.'

[hackingyoursensors]

Dick shrugs.

"It's alright-- I should be on the receiving end sometimes."

Because boy can Dick talk when you get him going.

[imaginate]

'All right.' He gets up. 'I'll walk you home?'

[hackingyoursensors]

Dick stands too, leaving his half-melted, half-eaten ice cream behind.

"Sure."
