this is the type of town one stops by only for a piss break and a shitty gas station coffee in the midst of a monotonous drive through the desert, definitely not a place he’d like to stick around in. with the news that the highway is temporary closed because of some super-bullshit property damage, though, he’s stuck here overnight. bought the cheap motel room and everything.

( he could, theoretically, go off-roading and pass it easily; but this bike’s meant for the streets, and he’s way too attached to its pristine new paint to fuck it all up. anyway, he could use some shut-eye. )

the only thing to do in this godforsaken place is drink, maybe fuck with some local yokels. surprise surprise, those are the only bleating folks in the dirty dive -- except for one eye-patched soul, sticking out like a sore thumb. smells... red.

When the show was first airing, I was close in age with BB ( I’m showing my age here sorry lmao ) and he just really connected with me. I was a lot like him in so many ways and still am to this day. It’s just kind of funny how Terra is actually my favorite Teen Titans character, but Beast Boy is the one character that I related to the most in any series I’ve seen. I just wanted to explore his character more than what we got from the animated series. 

he hasn’t said anything since finding out grant’s last name - hasn’t let the others , either , despite how digger keeps trying to drop hints . to know that they picked up deathstroke’s damn kid by mistake . . . len had really considered sending grant away before he came to his fucking senses , remembered that the boy’s parents weren’t his fault , that he was a child who deserved a home that didn’t leave him flinching every time a door shut too hard or a conversation got too loud . and he thinks - well , he likes to think he’s made some progress with grant . maybe that’s wishful thinking , but the kid’s still here , and he and hart aren’t scrapping weekly , and nothing’s blown up recently -

things are going good .

and then deathstroke shows up . 

there’s just a feeling in len’s gut when the doorbell rings ,  a prickle of fear not unlike when the reverse comes to town , and it’s split-second decision that sees len scooping up the cold gun , drawing concerned glances from the other rogues that he waves off as he heads for the door . and he’s right to do it , and he hates that he’s right .

Wintergreen uncaps a partially full bottle of bourbon from the shelf and gives it a curious whiff. The quality if obviously lacking some and he makes a face but nevertheless, pulls down a glass to pour himself some. Hearing the door behind him, Wintergreen glances back minutely and makes that two glasses.

"Welcome home, Slade," he greets dryly as he fills each one. "Glad you could make it, hm? And here I thought you'd find a reason to be too busy for your own son." He sighs deeply as he approaches, though, and hands Slade a glass.

"The doctor's here already," he explains. "Hopefully he'll have some answers for both of us. It's a good thing Joseph's boyfriend called Rose first, heavens knows what Adeline is going to do to you when she finds out about this." He shakes his head.

Conner had been tucked away in the room he'd woke up in, watching everyone milling around using his x-ray vision. He was still healing. Still sick. Mom had said he would be alright though! That made him happy, that he'd feel better soon.

He had to keep the man from getting to Jason again. He looked for his friend -- saw him and Dick on the roof talking. Jason was safe.

But the man was still here. No one else had noticed, so Conner pulled the monitors off his chest and stood up, a little wobbly. Made his way to the elevator doors to cut the man off, make him go away.
