That's the thing, there's more than one now. But Jason isn't going to risk sharing information about Batman that he might not have already.

you do know i'm not exactly in the hero part of the business right?

But only one going by B. The other one's going by Bruce Wayne. Sand, having enough trouble dealing with ONE Batman in a place like this, cannot fathom two and thus has decided, as a certain grumpy retired gentleman had, that someone was playing games. He'll probably get to him eventually.

I know what you do. And honestly, it's closer to the kind of thing I do than say, Big Blue. I haven't been the Golden Boy for a long time now.

don't fucking bullshit me
you know nothing of what i do
what i did

i'm not a hero

I'm not playing 'who's more fucked in the head', Todd. I was checking in. Check in done. I'll keep my distance unless Johnny Sorrow literally shows his face if that's what you want.

There's a pause between texts.

we do have you in your world but we've never met
mostly because you're a hero and i'm not

Then I'll give you this one for free:

I don't spend most of my nights with heroes, awake or asleep. If you were that far off the path, you would have met me exactly once.

so you let the punishment fit the crime?

If I do my job right, the crime never happens. At least, not to anyone but me.

you lost me there
gotta be more specific

So you gave me that angry speech and you literally don't have the first clue about me other than, what? The yellow and red outfit from when I was 14?

telling you i'm not a hero is not a speech
but suit yourself

you've teamed up with the society
you're a hero

It was a little speechy. I felt like I was reading the subtitles on some hardboiled kung fu movie, ngl.

And that sounds a whole lot like 'yes, Sandy, I have no fricking clue, but I shall continue to be belligerent' to me. It's a text log, Todd. Look it up.

I never called you a hero. First person to use the word was you.

speeches are a gotham thing
should see the big bad b do it

but you are one are't you?
a hero i mean

'Big Bad B'? Batman? Or as I usually hear him called, 'that young man who does good work down in Gotham'?

Make me glad I'm a New York kid.

And I'm a twisted freak of nature who basically runs on coffee and nightmares.

you'll have to define freak of nature
gotham, remember?
we got a lot of those

I haven't been carbon-based since 1945, I've hit Solomon Grundy with a localized 8.5 earthquake, burned the crap out of Powergirl , and I dropped the Rock of Eternity on Despero one time.

Aka, I'm a geomorph. Living sand.

shut up
that's cool af

can i run some test
or is that rude

[ Answers he was expecting from the rest of the conversation: NOT THAT. ]

Sure. Come on over. You can punch right through me. Miss Marvel loved that trick. And by 'loved', I mean it annoyed the crap out of her.

can i shoot you
or would that be too weird

Sure. But you have to buy me a drink first.

k can do
beer?

Coffee is my preference, but I'll do beer.
