Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Is the USB hub Oracle?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Colin seems to be a red-headed normal kid around Damian's age that he's pals with. But I'm not sure what he knows or how weirdo psycho Damian knows him.

I think that I might be making a visit to the comic book store this weekend. It's been a while. I've just been keeping up via graphic novel. But Cass is coming back and apparently not evil! She's still my favouritest.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

As weird as what I'm about to say is -- that's a little too literal for me. (I know.) I like them being places, like Titans Tower, Batcave, Fortress of Solitude, etc.

Is the USB hub Oracle?

Holy cow, now it will be.

Oops! Sorry if that was spoilery. I'm out of touch enough that I don't know what's common knowledge. It seems to be in the pre-press promo stuff. Gates of Gotham. I can't wait.

Okay, some Damian highlights...

From Batman #656, Damian meets Bruce.

From #657, Damian meets Tim.

From B&R #9, Damian meets a crazy cloned Bruce. Families, right?

From #12, Damian chats with Mom. Because of "I hope I can be a worthy one."

And from #13, Damian meets the Joker. Because crowbar. (I cannot find this but also in 13: Dick finds out that Damian’s talking to the Joker & freaks out. Gordon’s all, “Oh no, that poor kid! and Dick snaps "It’s the Joker I’m worried about!")

Thank you! I love him! I love assassin kids. Man, my childhood was wasted.

I loaned out my copy of Batman & Son, but I'm sure there's other fun stuff in it.

And aha -- I think Colin must be Colin Wilkes, AKA "Abuse." Which naturally led to this:

Robin gave Colin the Cycle of Abuse, a trike, because he thought Abuse looked stupid walking with his trench coat.

Comics, everybody!

Cycle of Abuse? That hurts.
