[Continuted from here]

[Dick hasn't felt this nervous about sex in a while. It's surprising to him that he can feel that way in a place like this. But this is the first time he's willingly meeting another man for an encounter, and that usually means something right?

It's probably good that he's learned from the best how to hide emotions. Bruce does it under a silent stoicism, and Dick has adapted the talent to hide his nervousness behind an easy-going smile.

When he sees Alec he feels a little relieved, fewer chances of people getting pissy at a submissive without a contract loitering that way.]

Alec, right?

[consequentially]

( Alec doesn't know how he feels. He knows he needs to keep a quota. And he knows he shut this down with Magnus, which means finding it elsewhere. His plan is to find a trusted few he likes and can stand. He's not going to suddenly be a slut. Not that being a slut was a bad thing either. It's just not him.

While there are no qualms or pretenses, Alec hopes this isn't as sordid as just sex.

He steps off the elevator and follows Dick's coordinates.

Dick is as attractive as his picture made him out to be. Alec is, too. It's something they can't leave to the imagination here, at least thanks to their avatars.

He eyes a nearby SIN soldier before coming to a stop ion front of Dick. )

Yeah. Dick. Hey. You ready?

[stayturbed]

[Dick is purposely not looking at the SIN soldiers. But, he does incline his head a little as a show of respect when Alec says his name. There are certain appearances it's better to keep.]

Sure am. Lead the way.

[consequentially]

Come on.

( He waits for Dick to fall into step as they step back into the elevator together.

After the doors close, he makes something clear, glancing to him. )

You don't need to act any way with me. I don't treat submissive any differently.

[stayturbed]

I do if there are eyes watching. [Dick replies, though he does noticeably release some of the tension in his shoulders.]

Wednesday - Alfred

[stayturbed]

[continued from here]

[As promised, Dick finds his way to Alfred's place on Wednesday. He wears a normal pair of jeans and a black T-shirt with a blue jacket. His smartwatch computer with WayneTech's logo is secured. A pair of dark sunglasses on his face, mostly out of habit, and a blue and black collar is around his neck.

Despite the fact that he hasn't spoken face to face with this version of Alfred yet, he finds he doesn't feel too worried about the meeting. Not in the same way he had felt about meeting Jason. Alfred's presence on the network had managed to be so comforting. It had been a strange oasis in this world.

When he shows up at Alfred's place he expects it will be more of the same. He'll have to work to keep his emotions in check.]

[inforapound]

[ For being in the Down, Alfred's home is gorgeous. It looks for all the world like a quaint English cottage. The garden in front is full of roses, some of which are absolutely the Pennyworth Blue, and well as immaculate bushes that lead up to the front door.

Alfred is already at that door. Since he's known Dick is coming, he's taken the opportunity to prepare the house for such an important guest. He stands at the thresh hold as Dick walks up, dressed not as severely as Dick might remember his Alfred being. His vest is very loose and his shirt sleeves are rolled up just just right before the start of his forearms.

There is the softest smile on his face when he sees the young man. There's no mistaking any of his grandsons. Bruce...has a type when it comes to picking of strays, it seems. Plus he does have the photograph of another version of Richard sitting on his mantle inside the house. ]

You must be Richard.

[stayturbed]

One of us, anyway. [Dick replies with a smile. He's pretty acclimated to the idea of alts running around but he'll still joke about it.]

It's really nice to see you, Alfred. Or to meet you, I guess?

[He wonders how a hug would make this version of Alfred feel.]

[inforapound]

[ He smiles a little at the joke. There's even a rough little laugh. He gets it. It also reminds him that he can't measure this version by another version. It's not fair to Dick to do that.

But the young man is still family, regardless. Because he is Alfred is the one that will step forward to give him a very brief hug. It's clear he's not certain it's welcome.] It's good to meet you too, lad. Now come in. Won't do to have family standing out on my doorstep when there's a warm house and good food inside.

[He happily steps aside to let the young man into his home, making way towards the kitchen where the compote was waiting for them. ]

[stayturbed]

[Dick returns the hug and some of the tension in his body noticeably relaxes.]

I will never say no to good food.

[He follows Alfred and looks around curiously before settling in at the kitchen.]

Hello, Mister Grayson.

My name is Clark Kent. I am not sure if you are aware, but Kate Kane has vanished from the city, and she apparently willed me Halcyon. As such, I just wanted to let you and my other employees know.

I will be hiring a manager to be the day to day person there, but for now, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you.

[stayturbed]

Thanks for reaching out Clark.

[He then switches to a private channel, double checks Clark has access to it, but other people won't.]

So... I had Batwoman as my boss and now I'm getting Superman?

[ibelieveintruth]

You're welcome.

***

Yes, and Yes. Are you, like the other Mister Grayson, also in our line of... business?

[stayturbed]

That's right. We're both Nightwing. Both learned from the same dark and broody guy.

drake's in jail, serial killer on loose

[stayturbed]

Acknowledged.

Requesting assistance?

[He's gonna anyway, but it's better if you don't have to worry about stepping on each other's toes.]

[turdusmigratoriusmortuus]

Probably. I'm going to stop by the people zoo and see if Tim needs anything. Mostly I told him we'd patrol more and keep an eye out for whoever decided to start spree killing.

[stayturbed]

They allow normal visitors at that place?

Hey, uh, me.

It's me.

[stayturbed]

Hello me.

What can I do for you today?

[covert]

I thought it might be time to check in. The last week's been crazy enough, talking to myself is probably par for the course.

And I wanted to ask about your Jason, and Tim.

[stayturbed]

My Tim is great. He's still Robin back home and the entire family is working to destroy a secret evil cabal of supervillains.

My Jason...

I didn't know that it was common for him to come back until I got here.

He said it's been long enough that he might really be dead for me, but Tim is helping me memorize places he might be. If we escape with our memories, I'll do my part to find him. If you have any info that can help, let me know.

You can keep your dick in your pants tonight. I'll be asleep by the time you get here.

[stayturbed]

That is where I was planning on keeping it.

[thenewnormal]

Smart man. I promise I'll make it up to you in the morning.
