*snatches wig with talons and fucking runs*
@the-scavenging-jaybird
*Unfortunately there was no wig, so he snatched off a chunk of hair. Martha cusses under her breath before starting to run after him*
HEY! GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE-
uh oh..
*he'd say looking at the hair in his hands before glancing at martha, making an excited squealing noise and running off as well, using his wings to boost him far away.*
SORRYYY
*Martha continues to chase after him, though she can't keep up with his speed*
s-STOP RUNNINNNG!
*he eventually finds a perch, climbing up that and staying there out of reach, tilting his head. well, he did stop.*
*Martha stopped way further away, breathing heavily and hands put on her knees*
Wh-WHYYYY??
uhhh i thought it was a wig. sorry.
*he answers, looking to the side in shame, some of her hair still in jason's claws.*
*Martha rubs the space he ripped out the hair out*
Well. It isn't! Why would you-?! Ah. Green. That's why, wasn't it?
mhm! no one back at home has green hair except uhhh some other guy.
Well! It's dye, most likely. Is certainly the case for me! It hurt a lot, by the way.
*jason grimaces a bit, looking down at the hair in this hands.*
sorry.. i can give you some of my feathers if you want?
*Martha let out a sigh*
ah... it's alright, I suppose. You don't have to pull out any for me.
im not gonna pluck them! just preening ya know.. that's not painful if you do it right..
You mean similar to how people loose their hair.? Mmmh. Well, if you insist.!
yeah.. like birds. do you not have those?
*he asks, moving to start preening his wings.*
We do! I just... never got the chance to be around any all that much.
*Martha tilts her head, watching him preen himself*
*jay just hums in response, finding it a bit weird but continuing to preen, making a little pile of his feathers. he is very quick so it doesn't take too long to finish one side.*
you want me to throw them down or..?
Ah. You can come down too, if you'd like! I don't. I am not mad anymore.
*jason pouts a bit, considering it before hesitantly coming down with the feathers in hand, flapping his wings a bit to help with the landing.*
here ya go!

Happy Birthday. Turn into a bat.
*batifys you with bat wings and ears*
@the-scavenging-jaybird
"Oh...thank you... I'm sorry?"
Bryce suddenly appears to have large fruit bat wings on her back, as well as her ears looking to be that of a bat. She loses her balance a little, grabbing at the wall behind her, blinking a little in confusion.
*ever since bryce had let him stay over jay had been living in and out of the manor though mostly outside. he blamed it on bird instincts and wanting to be able to spread his wings both literally and figuratively and with all of bryces other kids he didnt really want to be caught or seen by any of them so here he was. it was kinda like a patrol by himself and bruce never let him go on those.
speaking of bruce while he was on patrol he spotted the very distinct figure of batman. it could be any version of bruce and a few of them were nice but as jason rounded the corner he saw batwings out of their back. fuck.
hes probably mad that jason ran away what does he- quickly using his wings jay would start leaving in the other direction, hoping not to be spotted but unfortunately large vulture wings arent the best at being covert..*
Bryce is confused and a little bewildered if anything, not every day does she randomly get hit with magic and turned into well...a bat.
Her hearing is immediately intensified to the degree it hurts, and when she hears footsteps and the flap of wings she immediately turns, stumbling and falling a little over before catching herself and trying to level out her balance as best as she with the new appendages.
Bryce then glances over and immediately spots the source of the noise, it's Jay. The little bird who had been staying with her for the past couple of days or so. She curses when she sees he's running from her, which does remind her that she probably looks almost exactly like his Bruce right now, wings and all.
"Jay! Wait!"
She yells out, before wincing at her own volume and grabbing at her head a little. This isn't good, she tries to run after him, but her balance is still off and the weight on her back isn't too much but it's different. Her footsteps, even when she tries to make them as soft as possible, still echo in her ears. She resists the urge to try and cover them with her hands, trying to get Jay to stop running.
*he freezes at the sound, noting that bruce doesnt even follow after him before peeking back around the corner, squinting at them. they look like they cant even walk and their wings are more expressive than jason has ever seen. usually he's able to tell their emotions even though bruce has had years to repress his animalistic traits so their emotions practically scream at him now and its not anger just confusion and panic.*
im not sorry i left
*jason mumbles from behind the wall, still peaking and trying to figure out who this is. but the wings.. it has to be bruce. maybe he just is disorientated from being transported here, jason was too. plus if he runs away b will be even more mad and he always find him.*
Bryce uses the wall to steady herself, furrowing her brow a bit, his voice is loud in her ears and she winces a bit.
"Dear, you don't...have to apologize for anything-"
She says it softly but she swears she's almost shouting- which is...distressing if anything. Her wings move just like limbs and she stretches one out almost curiously before focusing back on Jay.
"It's not...I'm not your Batman- it's not him, I think- it's something to do with magic...are you- are you alright?"
She steps forward a bit towards him, frowning and trying not to speak too loudly. Her shoulders are tense and her wings read as distressed and uncomfortable, not knowing how to position them or how to hold herself like this.
*jay tilts his head before his face lights up a bit realising who it is, smiling and walking forward*
you have bat wings
*he seems to be bouncing with barely contained excitement, folding his hands in front of his smile as he scans bryce and her wings, making sure to whisper to the point that for the average person you can barely hear his words.*
is it loud? b used to complain alot about that uhhh
*jason hums, still speaking in that same quiet tone. now that she has wings he automatically speaks much quieter and also makes his movements silent to basically anyone but bryce right now. after thinking a bit he signs headphones, both by putting his hands over his ears to silently gesture it and also in ASL*
Bryce takes a long breath out in relief. She nods a bit at him and when he switches to sign she goes to fumble a bit, she tries to use her wings to hold herself up but hisses when the skin and talons on the end of them are sensitive against the concrete.
She signs yes, seeming a bit exasperated. She looks around the area a little, shocked a bit when she can see better in the dark without having to fiddle with her cowl or anything.
*jay panics a bit when she tries to hold herself up with the wings, grabbing the cape and putting it to the side. he tilts his head as he scans the wings which are the same as his bruce's so thats helpful. jason has to stifle a laugh, putting a hand over his mouth.*
you are like a baby chick.
*he says between a small giggle, trying to make sure hes quiet not to hurt bryce's ears but he cant help but laugh a bit at how she can barely balance.*
spread them out behind your back to balance
*jason sighs, demonstrating with his own wings straight behind his back to try guide her*
Bryce smiles a little when he laughs, she just shrugs a bit.
"Hard to...know how to deal with the extra limbs."
She says it softly, her ears getting a little used to it but they're still wildly sensitive and the noise of a car driving past by the other road has her flinching back a bit.
She looks over at Jay and nods at his instructions, stepping away from the wall and doing so, though her knees are a little bent, as if she's trying to balance on a surfboard or something. Really she just looks insanely awkward, she's glad Jay at least finds it silly, she definitely feels ridiculous. It takes her a second but she gets the hang of it, standing at least. She can see the baby chick comparison now.
*he notes the flinching but doesnt comment instead folding his wings up and turning in front of bryce*
yours are lighter than mine so just fold them up and you'll be mostly fine hm.. do you know how to fold them-
*jason tilts his head a bit, seeming very confused. usually birds are just born with wings so its instinct but bryce basically just gained a 2 extra limbs. its not the same as phantom pain, the opposite really but he would assume so*
Bryce furrows her brow but attempts to do what she assumes is folding the wings, bending the joints so they're smaller though they stay at her sides and not at her back, not as folded as they could be, before doing it fully and finding her balance again with both of them folded enough.
They seem to work in tandem well, like arms are capable of, but her brain doesn't seem to be too in control of the extra limbs yet and when she's not focusing on them and one of her arms go up to adjust her cowl the adjacent wing also moves and she wobbles a bit before folding it back with an annoyed huff.
"I'll...get the hang of it I'm sure."
She mumbles a bit, getting more overstimulated by being out in the city at this point, though she just seems a bit tense if anything.
*jay silently claps when she gets it, smiling a bit when one of her wings moves with her arm and placing a hand on bryces arm to steady her when she wobbles.*
we should probably get you headphones or something to block out all the noise since you arent used to it
*he smiles a bit, his eyes focusing on the ears and wings more than bryce herself. bruce used to get angry when jason spoke alot because it was too loud for him or really jay existing near him at all so hes used to making himself silent more or less.*
"Yes...let's go home then. I'm sure I can find something there."
She whispers, sighing a bit. They aren't too far out and the batmobile so they can get home quickly, and it won't be as loud inside the car of course. She looks around a bit, making sure she knows where they are exactly.
"Come now, I do hope you're being safe when you're out here, Jaybird."
Bryce comments, even being a mother hen when she's mildly distressed. She gestures for him to follow her as she walks, though a bit slowly at first before she gets the hang of walking with the weight on her back.
*jay quickly follows behind, over taking bryce easily despite the fact his wings weight even more than bryce's and are larger but he has the practice. when he realises he's ahead of bryce jason slows down, following her and tilting his head*
you're such a mama bird or.. mama bat now!
*he whisper exclaims, grinning and seeming very excited that bryce as bat wings now or really any wings. jason has never curled up in bruce's wings before and he imagines its very comfy*
Bryce smiles at him, shaking her head a little at that.
"I suppose so, I do refer to you kids as baby bats enough, it makes sense."
She whispers back, trying to lengthen her stride a bit to keep up with the boy, although she's still a bit unstable on her feet, once they get to the car she relaxes a little in relief, opening the drivers side and somewhat finagling the wings with a bit of struggle.
They seem to be more sensitive than the average, just because Bryce is not used to having them at all, nor them touching things. She frowns a bit but gets inside, ending up putting her seat down a bit to give her back some room so they don't feel so...crowded and claustrophobic.
She checks to make sure Jay is okay and in his seat before putting her seatbelt on and going to start the car. She's a little overwhelmed so she lets the auto pilot drive more than she is, taking the moment to take off her cowl and brush her hair away from her face.
*jay gets in the batmobile fairly easily, used to it enough that he manages to fit in before immediately waving his hands infront of himself when bryce keeps messing with her wings*
dont do that! you have nerves and arteries in there its like an arm, you'll injure yourself!
*he whisper shouts, seeming distressed by what bryce is doing because it looks so painful, taking her wing gently and folding it*
they are limbs not some decoration.
*jason tells off, eyebrows furrowing together in concern a bit and genuinely upset. there are so many different injuries and conditions caused by improper treatment of wings and watching someone treat them like that is painful in itself*
"Ah...right- sorry. I suppose I'm not used to having to take care of something like this."
She mumbles as the car drives on towards the manor. She stops shifting them, letting them stay folded by her back.
"Suppose you'll have to teach me, Jaylad."
She whispers with a small smile, looking at him as she pulls her bangs back and redoes the low bun the locks are put back in. She has a bit of a headache now, from all the loud noises, and even though it's better in the car, everything is emitting different humming noises that are starting to get on her nerves, and she debates putting her hands over them but she doesn't want to distress Jay or anything, so she keeps the more gentle demeanor.
*jason sighs a bit, curling up in the seat and letting bryce drive them back to the manor. bryce tries to look calm but her ears and wings basically make her an open book with how the ears are pinned to the sides of her head as she tries to block out some noise and how both they and the bat wings twitch in discomfort*
i will
*he whispers softly, smiling a bit at least at the thought of that. bryce probably doesnt have the food she needs but hopefully some fruit at least*
Bryce smiles at that. She doesn't talk much for the rest of the ride, trying to not focus too much on the sounds coming from everything but she can hear Jason's breathing from beside her and that calms her, to hear he's okay. For some reason that's all she really needs.
She parks the batmobile, huffing a little when she gets out, making sure to not hit her wings on anything. She unlocks Jason's door as well, before brushing her hair back. She's a little confused by the ears, or more so the lack of human ears, but she supposes it makes sense considering the fact her hearing is considerably better now. She can hear the electric hum from all of the technology in the cave, but otherwise it's much better than the car or the city. She takes a small breath out.
*when they get out jay immediately runs over to her wings, looking at them with a smile he’s trying to hide behind pressed lips. where the wings come out of the batman suit is ripped through for an opening and the part of the skin where the wings themselves sprout out of have a different skin texture similar to the bat wings themselves and are darker before fading into the skin of her back. it’s similar with the ears but less noticeable and in the light of the cave you can faintly see the blood vessels*
I think you’re the same species as my b, a uhhh giant golden crowned flying fox. I think that’s what it’s called?
*he hums a bit in thought, looking at the wings and clicking his teeth in thought before putting a hand over his mouth and staring at bryce. too loud.*
Bryce watches him with a soft smile, listening to him speak, she does wince a little at the noise but her smile doesn't fade and she nods at his words.
"That's quite the long name..."
She mumbles a bit, she notices Jason going to cover his mouth so she just puts a hand gently on his shoulder. She does look back at the wings and at the ripping in her suit.
"I should probably change...though I'm not sure any of my shirts are able to fit these..."
Her binding seems to be intact mostly, so she doesn't think putting a bra on would be difficult, if it doesn't fit she can always figure something out there, wear something else. She'll have to ask Alfred about sewing holes into a few shirts until whatever this is wears off...or if it doesn't she supposes she can figure something out. There is a lot to figure out there actually.
"I'll have to get Alfred to sew some holes into them, like he's been doing with your clothing."
She whispers, thinking aloud for the most part.
*when bryce doesnt do anything but place a hand on his shoulder jason takes his hand off his face. she doesnt seem mad, hopefully she didnt notice the sound*
they are the largeeeeeeeest bats
*he grins a bit, spreading his wings and arms out for emphasis*
you also need food n' the ear thingys.. i don' think you guys have the ear things for bats though or.. bat people? or the nutrition shake things uhhhh you have figs at least?
*jason puts a hand over his mouth again as he thinks, trying to remember the things his bruce used to do that arent 'human' things. at least here*
She laughs a bit at his explanation, nodding with a soft smile on her face. She relaxes a little while watching him, able to get her mind off of how overwhelming everything is.
"I'm sure we can find something similar or have something be custom crafted...we do have figs, yes. I'm certain we can find things for food."
She hums a bit, leading him over towards the other side of the cave and away from the vehicle garage.
there are like the nutrition smoothies back home for uhh different species but you guys probably dont have those. he didnt really like eating much anyways. we had the like dried bugs for the others but you guys probably don' eat those either soo
*jason rambles as he follows bryce, his face wings flapping a bit as he thinks. its so weird that a bunch of normal stuff back home doesnt exist here or is only for actual birds. he hasnt even seen this many 'real' birds before now*
"I see... Bugs are not typically eaten here, no."
She makes a bit of a face at that, she hopes she doesn't need to eat bugs or anything now, she would rather not.
"Don't worry about my food habits, I'm sure I can figure things out with Alfred."
She says, feeling a little uncomfortable about the topic if anything. Food has always been a challenge for her but that's not something she's going to explain to Jason. She squeezes his shoulder a bit, and looks over when Alfred comes down the stairs and stares back at her with wide eyes. She just waves a little weakly and he sighs.
"I'll...see what I can do on short notice for clothing, Master Bryce. I suggest you both shower and change once I am able to acquire something for you. Are there any requests for food, Master Jason?"
"Thank you, Alfred."
Is all Bryce says, sighing when he seems to just go with it. Alfred's always been good at thinking on his feet, especially for the insanity that comes with their lives.
you dont eat bugs thats mostly for dickie and alfred sometimes too though i think hes too british for that.
*he giggles a bit at that last part. the reason they didnt have much food for jason was because of that and he didnt want to make bruce sick or anything so he mostly just sucked it up and ate what they had. he sometimes felt sick from that too but thats ok.
jay waves at alfred when he comes. hes gotten more comfortable with the man since hes been living here since he doesnt seem to be mad at jason or anything*
uhh bats mostly eat the umm shakes and figs. fruit bats get sick if they eat meat or stuff like me.
*jason says, assuming alfred is talking about bryce since hes the only one who really knows anything about this*
Bryce hums at that, she does shrink a little away from the noise of the talking but she seems to be getting used to it now, not as bad.
"Well, I will make note of that then, Master Jason. What would you like to eat, however?"
Alfred clarifies with a small tilt to his head. Bryce is happy that Jason seems to be more comfortable around Alfred. She knows the adjustment to a new manor with different people can be hard.
Her ears are still folded against her head, twitching a bit every time someone speaks or makes any noise if anything, but she lets her face seem more comfortable than she is, this is definitely strange and it's mildly freaking her out, but she can learn how to function through it she's sure.
oh.. me? ‘m fine alfie
*jason seems shocked that alfred was talking to jay, eyes widening a bit before folding his hands and looking back at bryce. he seems more focused on her well being, instincts kicking in to look after other bats and birds coming back.*
you said we were gonna get you earmuffs or somethin’
*jay turns back to bryce, noting the twitching of her ears and how her wings droops a bit. bruce was always sensitive to sounds which in gotham was good but back at him meant that if jason was too loud or spoke too much he’d get mad*
"I do highly suggest you eat something, Master Jason. Considering Master Bryce needs to eat something specific because of her nature, I can only imagine this might be similar when it comes to your own bird nature."
Alfred says, his voice goes a bit softer when he realizes Bryce is reacting to the sound poorly. Bryce nods in agreement.
"It's better that everyone gets what they need to eat and all...I'm sure we have some things but the grocery store isn't too far out."
Bryce whispers a bit, going to pet Jason's head a little without much thought. Something about him makes her want to protect and feed him even more than usual, she's not sure if that's some sort of bat thing or not.
"I will have to make the trip regardless because I believe we do not have any fresh figs on hand."
Alfred adds on. Bryce nods a little at that, she's surprised by the talk of the earmuffs and hums.
"I think it'll be nice just to get out of the suit and upstairs, get some food as well, the...humming of the tech down here is a little irritating."
Bryce reasons with a shrug.
well i already got most of my food on the streets so i don' need anything
*he mumbles, cooing a bit when bryce puts a hand on him and looking back up at it, scrunching his nose up before looking back to alfred.
crime alley isnt too different here and the whole reason vultures adapted in crime alley was because the streets could feed them. most people here dont sell proper meat anyways and he doesnt want to bother.
hes ashamed of what he has to eat to survive because he knows its wrong and he'd rather alfred and bryce didnt find out that hes some wild monster*
bat skin is sensitive, you have to wear softer and more flowly clothes probably
*jason adds, pressing his lips together and folding his wings*
"We don't want you to have to do things like that if anything, it can be dangerous out there, dear. All we want is you to be safe and comfortable, it's not any trouble. If it's not something we can acquire right now we can find a way, okay?"
Bryce says softly, looking at him looking slightly worried. Alfred's expression doesn't change, but he folds his hands a little.
"I will prepare anything you wish to eat, Master Jason. Not only for tonight."
He adds. Bryce nods in agreement at that, carding her fingers through Jason's hair a bit as she thinks.
"I see, I'm sure I can find something like that, you don't have to worry about me, okay?"
She tells him with a soft look. She takes a deep breath and brushes her hair back. She most likely has something for that, she's unsure what to do with public appearances and all but she's sure she can find something excuse to get out of things and work responsibilities.
*jason only seems more distressed by that, looking between bryce and alfred nervously, his breathing a bit off and panicked, sniffling as his wings twitch to hide his face. he doesnt know what to do he doesnt want them to do anything.
crime alley is his home and really feels more like it than anywhere else in this place, much more than the manor. everything there is mostly the same as his world and its his natural habitat. hes used to looking after himself he doesnt get it*
dont make me.
*he pleads, looking to bryce. its so soft that alfred probably cant make out the words but bryce can. jay cant handle this right now, dont make him.*
Bryce frowns at the reaction and waves Alfred off, who only sighs a bit before walking upstairs. Bryce kneels down in front of him, she would crouch but the extra weight might tip her over and she doesn't want to deal with that at the moment. She places a gentle hand on his arm, a worried look on her face.
"Jaylad, we don't have to talk about this right now okay? I'm not going to make you do anything, all I want is for you to be okay and happy, dear. For now let's just get changed and then we can spend some time together while everyone's on patrol, okay?"
She explains gently, she doesn't want to overwhelm him but she wants her boy to be safe, and Gotham really isn't that. It'll take time if anything.
*jason seems to relax a bit when alfred leaves, his breathing evening out and looking down at bryce now, fiddling with his claws a bit*
okay..
*he says softly, taking bryces hand from his arm and fiddling with the fingers a bit, face wings moving to pin back to the sides. they seem to have grown some claws that have completely replaced her nails with the skin being darker at the tips, similar to jays*
Bryce smiles, looking curiously when he takes her hand. She had noticed the claws that ripped through the fabric of her gloves, but she hadn't really looked at them fully until now. She sighs a little.
"Good...have you been reading anything new recently? The library has a nice collection, you're always free to look."
She says quietly, wanting to prompt the kid more while they wait for Alfred to come back with clothes hopefully. She lets him fiddle with her fingers happily, making a soft squeaking noise that she wasn't sure she could make, it surprises her a bit but she doesn't say anything, her ears twitching a hint.
*jason smiles at the sound of her squeaking, making a small coo back on instinct with his face wings going to spread out happily.
bruce never made those noises much since he learned how to repress them but hearing another person like him make more animal sounds automatically invites him to call back. instincts he supposes*
hm.. the library is quiet
*he comments, grunting a bit in thought. he hasnt read in a long time, not since he ran away from his bruces place*
"It is yes...though you're always welcome to come and sit with me if you'd like. I don't mind visitors in my study or room, and we should really get you a phone so you can contact me when I'm not home..."
She mumbles a little as she thinks aloud a bit. She smiles when his face wings spread out again, making a small clicking noise in the back of her throat. It does remind her of how the bats in the cave tend to sound, so she supposes that makes sense.
*jay makes a similar clicking sound back as he thinks, a small pout on his face*
i've never had a phone
*he hums a bit. bruce never really bought him one, just a comm for patrol. jason used to sneak out to crime alley alot anyways and bruce never really cared. if he found out then he would be mad but more so because jason wouldnt be home to patrol.*
"Well, we'll have to get you one then, you can even download ebooks on there to read without having to search for them."
She mentions with a small smile, she goes to cup his cheek a bit before standing up when she hears Alfred opening the door to the cave, which usually she can't hear, but one of her ears goes up and turns go the noise, Alfred's footsteps beginning a few moments later.
He's holding some clothing for both of them in his arms. He only nods at them before placing the clothes down on the desk by the batcomputer and leaving back up the stairs.
"Thank you..."
Bryce mumbles, though she's not sure if he heard her.
"I'm going to use the showers down here, but if you'd like you can go upstairs and use your bathroom, okay?"
She whispers to Jason, ruffling his hair a little and coos a bit at him before moving to take her clothing from the desk.
*jays face makes a little 'o' at that, one of his face wings pinning back so bryce can cup his face, leaning into it before noticing alfred coming and looking at the man*
thank you alfie
*he smiles a bit shyly, voice quiet but louder than bryce so alfred can hear at least. jason gawks when bryce ruffles his hair but grins, cooing back before watching her and climbing the chair, making sure his claws dont tear anything and perching on it, making a small clicking sound and tilting his head at his own clothes*
oh.. ok
Bryce smiles a bit at him before taking her clothes from the table.
"If there's an emergency come get me or Alfred, of course. I'll meet you upstairs after, okay? We can sit together for a while."
She tells him, trying to be careful with her claws as she takes her clothing, they seem fairly sharp and the shirt Alfred has given her is fairly soft but definitely tearable.
She waves at Jason before heading to the direction of the showers.
*jason hums, waving back and his wings flapping behind him before taking the clothes, being able to hold and touch stuff with his claws gently without ripping anything due to practice without thought and jumping off the chair with his wings, making his way up the stairs and into the manor.
when he gets to his room or at least the guest room bryce have him he leaves the clothes on the bed before hopping in the shower and changing into the clothes when hes done, laying on his stomach and spreading his wings while waiting for bryce to come back.*
Bryce takes her time solely because she realizes her wings don't actually fit in the showers in the cave comfortably and it takes her a second to finagle it without hurting them. She simply rinses herself off and gets the gel and makeup off, going to change into a fairly soft and big shirt (holes cut in to the back she can slip the wings into.) with a sports bra that's easier on the wings and avoids them a little at least, as well as sweatpants.
She leaves her hair down for now and walks up the stairs, wincing a bit more at all the noise, the shower itself was annoying because of how awful the sound of the water falling was, and makes her way to Jason's bedroom. She knocks, wincing at the sound when she does it before taking a deep breath and settling a little.
*jason perks up at the sound of the knocking, making a soft clicking noise before opening the door with a small smile and walking back on to the bed, crossing his legs and slowly flapping his wings behind him.
his feathers are a bit messy now that he took a shower and dried his wings. he has been preening his wings himself but other than that first time in the manor no one has properly preened the back ones other than the parts jay attempts to do himself.
Bryce smiles back at him, walking in and going to sit on the bed next to him. She looks him over, as well as his wings and hums a little.
"Do you need help with your wings?"
She whispers, folding her legs beneath her and letting her wings relax a little. She's been trying to spend as much time with Jason as she can but with her other children and responsibilities it's been hard to find the time, which does break her heart a little. Hopefully with the fact she needs to stay in because of the wings and all it'll be easier to get the time.
He seems to like going out to crime alley and all and that's a conversation they should have at some point, she's not sure if it's nostalgia reasons or instinctual...maybe she could come along with him to keep an eye on him, just to be sure. The protectiveness feels more intense right now and she resists the urge to just hold Jason to her and never let him go.
*jason hums a bit, turning his head to look back at her. its not all the way, just to the side but he seems to have more movement thab the average person here.*
uhh..
*he hesitates, pressing his lips together. jay really does need and want help but he doesnt want to ask or bother her.*
you don'ave to
*jason settles on, turning his head forward and playing with his claws a bit. he thinks thats a good in between. hes not saying no but he's making sure bryce doesnt feel like she has to*
"I'd like to help."
She says, moving a bit closer to him and unfolding her legs so they're resting more to the side, propping herself up on one hand. She smiles at him softly.
She looks over his wings a little, one of hers subconsciously moving to go behind him a bit as she scans the boy a bit.
"I won't do anything you don't want me to."
*jason frowns a bit at that, smiling softly when bryces wing comes around but it quickly falls with one of his hands coming to grab onto one of his face wings and hold it closer to his face*
ok.
*if not for bryce's more enhanced healing right now she probably wouldnt be able to hear him with how small his voice was but it was just a silent plea for her to do it without him having to ask.*
Bryce sighs a bit but moves to the back of his wings to look them over, being gentle as she goes to start preening them. He doesn't seem to not want her to, and if he doesn't all of a sudden she won't protest. Her wing goes to settle a little beside Jason as she goes, slowly but surely while focusing.
"I hope you've been okay, I know new places can be overwhelming."
She mumbles a little after a while of silence. She makes a soft squeaking sound as she does. A lot of the noises have been subconscious, but Jason seems to enjoy it when she makes them, so she lets herself relax with that. If Jason is happy then she is. It's far quieter in this room, and she's gotten used to how good her hearing is now. Her ears aren't as pinned back anymore, still slightly twitching but not in a way that reads as discomfort, mostly just because of how focused she is on the task.
*jason relaxes when she starts preening, happy he chose the right choice and doing the underside himself. he smiles when he notices bryces wings surrounding him, similar to how he surrounded bryce in his before and letting his face wings spread out again.
jay coos back whenever bryce makes a noise on instinct while that same purr like noise is still in the background during the preening session.*
uhh.. 's ok.
*he pauses his coos to speak before resuming them after, nuzzling his face into the feathers of his wing for a second before continuing to preen them. crime alley really feels the most like home to him now a days and the manor is a bit overwhelming so he likes just staying there.*
She hums a bit at that, smiling at him as he coos, clicking back and continuing to preen. It doesn't look as bad as it had when he first arrived so it doesn't take her too long to get them done.
"Since I'll probably be stuck in the manor for a while, considering the whole bat situation if you will, I'm sure we can spend so more time together if you'd like. I know you enjoy being out of the manor a good amount of the time...I could always come along with you if you'd like."
She whispers as she double checks her work to make sure the feathers look good. The claws actually seem to be helping her do it easier than before, which is definitely nicer.
"There we go...is that better?"
*jay checks over his wings when hes done, moving them a little but making sure not to hit anything especially since bryce has wings now too! jason has been preening them while living in the alley and such but the back wings are always a pain. they look good and he gives a small coo of approval before turning to look at bryce, ruffing his face feathers a bit.*
mmhm!
*he nods before hesitantly moving closer to bryce, folding his wings up and putting himself inside hers.*
ill stay.. you have wings now
*jason decides, making a soft clicking noise. she'll probably need him to help with her wings and jay would like to stay for a bit*
"That's good..."
Bryce goes to hold him a little when he moves closer, smiling at his words with a soft laugh.
"I do yes...I'd love for you to stay, dearest."
She coos a bit at him, petting his hair and holding him closer to her. She's unsure why she feels so protective of him right now, but she lets herself hold him and wrap him in her wings. The wings are certainly a change but she's starting not to mind it too much, more or less because of how happy it seems to be making Jason if anything.
*he seems a bit surprised by being held closer but doesnt complain, curling up quickly and snuggling into her neck, face wings pinned back and his wings folded so he can fit in her hold. its nice.
usually jason is the one protecting people in his wings since his are the biggest and bruce never let him so jay moves to wrap his arms around her neck just to be secure, cooing back and letting the vibrations of him practically purring pass between them.*
ok.. i'll stay then.
*if bryce wants him to stay then he will, maybe it wont be so bad. for now at least.*
Happy Birthday. Turn into a bat.
*batifys you with bat wings and ears*
@the-scavenging-jaybird
"Oh...thank you... I'm sorry?"
Bryce suddenly appears to have large fruit bat wings on her back, as well as her ears looking to be that of a bat. She loses her balance a little, grabbing at the wall behind her, blinking a little in confusion.
*ever since bryce had let him stay over jay had been living in and out of the manor though mostly outside. he blamed it on bird instincts and wanting to be able to spread his wings both literally and figuratively and with all of bryces other kids he didnt really want to be caught or seen by any of them so here he was. it was kinda like a patrol by himself and bruce never let him go on those.
speaking of bruce while he was on patrol he spotted the very distinct figure of batman. it could be any version of bruce and a few of them were nice but as jason rounded the corner he saw batwings out of their back. fuck.
hes probably mad that jason ran away what does he- quickly using his wings jay would start leaving in the other direction, hoping not to be spotted but unfortunately large vulture wings arent the best at being covert..*
Bryce is confused and a little bewildered if anything, not every day does she randomly get hit with magic and turned into well...a bat.
Her hearing is immediately intensified to the degree it hurts, and when she hears footsteps and the flap of wings she immediately turns, stumbling and falling a little over before catching herself and trying to level out her balance as best as she with the new appendages.
Bryce then glances over and immediately spots the source of the noise, it's Jay. The little bird who had been staying with her for the past couple of days or so. She curses when she sees he's running from her, which does remind her that she probably looks almost exactly like his Bruce right now, wings and all.
"Jay! Wait!"
She yells out, before wincing at her own volume and grabbing at her head a little. This isn't good, she tries to run after him, but her balance is still off and the weight on her back isn't too much but it's different. Her footsteps, even when she tries to make them as soft as possible, still echo in her ears. She resists the urge to try and cover them with her hands, trying to get Jay to stop running.
*he freezes at the sound, noting that bruce doesnt even follow after him before peeking back around the corner, squinting at them. they look like they cant even walk and their wings are more expressive than jason has ever seen. usually he's able to tell their emotions even though bruce has had years to repress his animalistic traits so their emotions practically scream at him now and its not anger just confusion and panic.*
im not sorry i left
*jason mumbles from behind the wall, still peaking and trying to figure out who this is. but the wings.. it has to be bruce. maybe he just is disorientated from being transported here, jason was too. plus if he runs away b will be even more mad and he always find him.*
Bryce uses the wall to steady herself, furrowing her brow a bit, his voice is loud in her ears and she winces a bit.
"Dear, you don't...have to apologize for anything-"
She says it softly but she swears she's almost shouting- which is...distressing if anything. Her wings move just like limbs and she stretches one out almost curiously before focusing back on Jay.
"It's not...I'm not your Batman- it's not him, I think- it's something to do with magic...are you- are you alright?"
She steps forward a bit towards him, frowning and trying not to speak too loudly. Her shoulders are tense and her wings read as distressed and uncomfortable, not knowing how to position them or how to hold herself like this.
*jay tilts his head before his face lights up a bit realising who it is, smiling and walking forward*
you have bat wings
*he seems to be bouncing with barely contained excitement, folding his hands in front of his smile as he scans bryce and her wings, making sure to whisper to the point that for the average person you can barely hear his words.*
is it loud? b used to complain alot about that uhhh
*jason hums, still speaking in that same quiet tone. now that she has wings he automatically speaks much quieter and also makes his movements silent to basically anyone but bryce right now. after thinking a bit he signs headphones, both by putting his hands over his ears to silently gesture it and also in ASL*
Bryce takes a long breath out in relief. She nods a bit at him and when he switches to sign she goes to fumble a bit, she tries to use her wings to hold herself up but hisses when the skin and talons on the end of them are sensitive against the concrete.
She signs yes, seeming a bit exasperated. She looks around the area a little, shocked a bit when she can see better in the dark without having to fiddle with her cowl or anything.
*jay panics a bit when she tries to hold herself up with the wings, grabbing the cape and putting it to the side. he tilts his head as he scans the wings which are the same as his bruce's so thats helpful. jason has to stifle a laugh, putting a hand over his mouth.*
you are like a baby chick.
*he says between a small giggle, trying to make sure hes quiet not to hurt bryce's ears but he cant help but laugh a bit at how she can barely balance.*
spread them out behind your back to balance
*jason sighs, demonstrating with his own wings straight behind his back to try guide her*
Bryce smiles a little when he laughs, she just shrugs a bit.
"Hard to...know how to deal with the extra limbs."
She says it softly, her ears getting a little used to it but they're still wildly sensitive and the noise of a car driving past by the other road has her flinching back a bit.
She looks over at Jay and nods at his instructions, stepping away from the wall and doing so, though her knees are a little bent, as if she's trying to balance on a surfboard or something. Really she just looks insanely awkward, she's glad Jay at least finds it silly, she definitely feels ridiculous. It takes her a second but she gets the hang of it, standing at least. She can see the baby chick comparison now.
*he notes the flinching but doesnt comment instead folding his wings up and turning in front of bryce*
yours are lighter than mine so just fold them up and you'll be mostly fine hm.. do you know how to fold them-
*jason tilts his head a bit, seeming very confused. usually birds are just born with wings so its instinct but bryce basically just gained a 2 extra limbs. its not the same as phantom pain, the opposite really but he would assume so*
Bryce furrows her brow but attempts to do what she assumes is folding the wings, bending the joints so they're smaller though they stay at her sides and not at her back, not as folded as they could be, before doing it fully and finding her balance again with both of them folded enough.
They seem to work in tandem well, like arms are capable of, but her brain doesn't seem to be too in control of the extra limbs yet and when she's not focusing on them and one of her arms go up to adjust her cowl the adjacent wing also moves and she wobbles a bit before folding it back with an annoyed huff.
"I'll...get the hang of it I'm sure."
She mumbles a bit, getting more overstimulated by being out in the city at this point, though she just seems a bit tense if anything.
*jay silently claps when she gets it, smiling a bit when one of her wings moves with her arm and placing a hand on bryces arm to steady her when she wobbles.*
we should probably get you headphones or something to block out all the noise since you arent used to it
*he smiles a bit, his eyes focusing on the ears and wings more than bryce herself. bruce used to get angry when jason spoke alot because it was too loud for him or really jay existing near him at all so hes used to making himself silent more or less.*
"Yes...let's go home then. I'm sure I can find something there."
She whispers, sighing a bit. They aren't too far out and the batmobile so they can get home quickly, and it won't be as loud inside the car of course. She looks around a bit, making sure she knows where they are exactly.
"Come now, I do hope you're being safe when you're out here, Jaybird."
Bryce comments, even being a mother hen when she's mildly distressed. She gestures for him to follow her as she walks, though a bit slowly at first before she gets the hang of walking with the weight on her back.
*jay quickly follows behind, over taking bryce easily despite the fact his wings weight even more than bryce's and are larger but he has the practice. when he realises he's ahead of bryce jason slows down, following her and tilting his head*
you're such a mama bird or.. mama bat now!
*he whisper exclaims, grinning and seeming very excited that bryce as bat wings now or really any wings. jason has never curled up in bruce's wings before and he imagines its very comfy*
Bryce smiles at him, shaking her head a little at that.
"I suppose so, I do refer to you kids as baby bats enough, it makes sense."
She whispers back, trying to lengthen her stride a bit to keep up with the boy, although she's still a bit unstable on her feet, once they get to the car she relaxes a little in relief, opening the drivers side and somewhat finagling the wings with a bit of struggle.
They seem to be more sensitive than the average, just because Bryce is not used to having them at all, nor them touching things. She frowns a bit but gets inside, ending up putting her seat down a bit to give her back some room so they don't feel so...crowded and claustrophobic.
She checks to make sure Jay is okay and in his seat before putting her seatbelt on and going to start the car. She's a little overwhelmed so she lets the auto pilot drive more than she is, taking the moment to take off her cowl and brush her hair away from her face.
*jay gets in the batmobile fairly easily, used to it enough that he manages to fit in before immediately waving his hands infront of himself when bryce keeps messing with her wings*
dont do that! you have nerves and arteries in there its like an arm, you'll injure yourself!
*he whisper shouts, seeming distressed by what bryce is doing because it looks so painful, taking her wing gently and folding it*
they are limbs not some decoration.
*jason tells off, eyebrows furrowing together in concern a bit and genuinely upset. there are so many different injuries and conditions caused by improper treatment of wings and watching someone treat them like that is painful in itself*
"Ah...right- sorry. I suppose I'm not used to having to take care of something like this."
She mumbles as the car drives on towards the manor. She stops shifting them, letting them stay folded by her back.
"Suppose you'll have to teach me, Jaylad."
She whispers with a small smile, looking at him as she pulls her bangs back and redoes the low bun the locks are put back in. She has a bit of a headache now, from all the loud noises, and even though it's better in the car, everything is emitting different humming noises that are starting to get on her nerves, and she debates putting her hands over them but she doesn't want to distress Jay or anything, so she keeps the more gentle demeanor.
*jason sighs a bit, curling up in the seat and letting bryce drive them back to the manor. bryce tries to look calm but her ears and wings basically make her an open book with how the ears are pinned to the sides of her head as she tries to block out some noise and how both they and the bat wings twitch in discomfort*
i will
*he whispers softly, smiling a bit at least at the thought of that. bryce probably doesnt have the food she needs but hopefully some fruit at least*
Bryce smiles at that. She doesn't talk much for the rest of the ride, trying to not focus too much on the sounds coming from everything but she can hear Jason's breathing from beside her and that calms her, to hear he's okay. For some reason that's all she really needs.
She parks the batmobile, huffing a little when she gets out, making sure to not hit her wings on anything. She unlocks Jason's door as well, before brushing her hair back. She's a little confused by the ears, or more so the lack of human ears, but she supposes it makes sense considering the fact her hearing is considerably better now. She can hear the electric hum from all of the technology in the cave, but otherwise it's much better than the car or the city. She takes a small breath out.
*when they get out jay immediately runs over to her wings, looking at them with a smile he’s trying to hide behind pressed lips. where the wings come out of the batman suit is ripped through for an opening and the part of the skin where the wings themselves sprout out of have a different skin texture similar to the bat wings themselves and are darker before fading into the skin of her back. it’s similar with the ears but less noticeable and in the light of the cave you can faintly see the blood vessels*
I think you’re the same species as my b, a uhhh giant golden crowned flying fox. I think that’s what it’s called?
*he hums a bit in thought, looking at the wings and clicking his teeth in thought before putting a hand over his mouth and staring at bryce. too loud.*
Bryce watches him with a soft smile, listening to him speak, she does wince a little at the noise but her smile doesn't fade and she nods at his words.
"That's quite the long name..."
She mumbles a bit, she notices Jason going to cover his mouth so she just puts a hand gently on his shoulder. She does look back at the wings and at the ripping in her suit.
"I should probably change...though I'm not sure any of my shirts are able to fit these..."
Her binding seems to be intact mostly, so she doesn't think putting a bra on would be difficult, if it doesn't fit she can always figure something out there, wear something else. She'll have to ask Alfred about sewing holes into a few shirts until whatever this is wears off...or if it doesn't she supposes she can figure something out. There is a lot to figure out there actually.
"I'll have to get Alfred to sew some holes into them, like he's been doing with your clothing."
She whispers, thinking aloud for the most part.
*when bryce doesnt do anything but place a hand on his shoulder jason takes his hand off his face. she doesnt seem mad, hopefully she didnt notice the sound*
they are the largeeeeeeeest bats
*he grins a bit, spreading his wings and arms out for emphasis*
you also need food n' the ear thingys.. i don' think you guys have the ear things for bats though or.. bat people? or the nutrition shake things uhhhh you have figs at least?
*jason puts a hand over his mouth again as he thinks, trying to remember the things his bruce used to do that arent 'human' things. at least here*
She laughs a bit at his explanation, nodding with a soft smile on her face. She relaxes a little while watching him, able to get her mind off of how overwhelming everything is.
"I'm sure we can find something similar or have something be custom crafted...we do have figs, yes. I'm certain we can find things for food."
She hums a bit, leading him over towards the other side of the cave and away from the vehicle garage.
there are like the nutrition smoothies back home for uhh different species but you guys probably dont have those. he didnt really like eating much anyways. we had the like dried bugs for the others but you guys probably don' eat those either soo
*jason rambles as he follows bryce, his face wings flapping a bit as he thinks. its so weird that a bunch of normal stuff back home doesnt exist here or is only for actual birds. he hasnt even seen this many 'real' birds before now*
"I see... Bugs are not typically eaten here, no."
She makes a bit of a face at that, she hopes she doesn't need to eat bugs or anything now, she would rather not.
"Don't worry about my food habits, I'm sure I can figure things out with Alfred."
She says, feeling a little uncomfortable about the topic if anything. Food has always been a challenge for her but that's not something she's going to explain to Jason. She squeezes his shoulder a bit, and looks over when Alfred comes down the stairs and stares back at her with wide eyes. She just waves a little weakly and he sighs.
"I'll...see what I can do on short notice for clothing, Master Bryce. I suggest you both shower and change once I am able to acquire something for you. Are there any requests for food, Master Jason?"
"Thank you, Alfred."
Is all Bryce says, sighing when he seems to just go with it. Alfred's always been good at thinking on his feet, especially for the insanity that comes with their lives.
you dont eat bugs thats mostly for dickie and alfred sometimes too though i think hes too british for that.
*he giggles a bit at that last part. the reason they didnt have much food for jason was because of that and he didnt want to make bruce sick or anything so he mostly just sucked it up and ate what they had. he sometimes felt sick from that too but thats ok.
jay waves at alfred when he comes. hes gotten more comfortable with the man since hes been living here since he doesnt seem to be mad at jason or anything*
uhh bats mostly eat the umm shakes and figs. fruit bats get sick if they eat meat or stuff like me.
*jason says, assuming alfred is talking about bryce since hes the only one who really knows anything about this*
Bryce hums at that, she does shrink a little away from the noise of the talking but she seems to be getting used to it now, not as bad.
"Well, I will make note of that then, Master Jason. What would you like to eat, however?"
Alfred clarifies with a small tilt to his head. Bryce is happy that Jason seems to be more comfortable around Alfred. She knows the adjustment to a new manor with different people can be hard.
Her ears are still folded against her head, twitching a bit every time someone speaks or makes any noise if anything, but she lets her face seem more comfortable than she is, this is definitely strange and it's mildly freaking her out, but she can learn how to function through it she's sure.
oh.. me? ‘m fine alfie
*jason seems shocked that alfred was talking to jay, eyes widening a bit before folding his hands and looking back at bryce. he seems more focused on her well being, instincts kicking in to look after other bats and birds coming back.*
you said we were gonna get you earmuffs or somethin’
*jay turns back to bryce, noting the twitching of her ears and how her wings droops a bit. bruce was always sensitive to sounds which in gotham was good but back at him meant that if jason was too loud or spoke too much he’d get mad*
"I do highly suggest you eat something, Master Jason. Considering Master Bryce needs to eat something specific because of her nature, I can only imagine this might be similar when it comes to your own bird nature."
Alfred says, his voice goes a bit softer when he realizes Bryce is reacting to the sound poorly. Bryce nods in agreement.
"It's better that everyone gets what they need to eat and all...I'm sure we have some things but the grocery store isn't too far out."
Bryce whispers a bit, going to pet Jason's head a little without much thought. Something about him makes her want to protect and feed him even more than usual, she's not sure if that's some sort of bat thing or not.
"I will have to make the trip regardless because I believe we do not have any fresh figs on hand."
Alfred adds on. Bryce nods a little at that, she's surprised by the talk of the earmuffs and hums.
"I think it'll be nice just to get out of the suit and upstairs, get some food as well, the...humming of the tech down here is a little irritating."
Bryce reasons with a shrug.
well i already got most of my food on the streets so i don' need anything
*he mumbles, cooing a bit when bryce puts a hand on him and looking back up at it, scrunching his nose up before looking back to alfred.
crime alley isnt too different here and the whole reason vultures adapted in crime alley was because the streets could feed them. most people here dont sell proper meat anyways and he doesnt want to bother.
hes ashamed of what he has to eat to survive because he knows its wrong and he'd rather alfred and bryce didnt find out that hes some wild monster*
bat skin is sensitive, you have to wear softer and more flowly clothes probably
*jason adds, pressing his lips together and folding his wings*
"We don't want you to have to do things like that if anything, it can be dangerous out there, dear. All we want is you to be safe and comfortable, it's not any trouble. If it's not something we can acquire right now we can find a way, okay?"
Bryce says softly, looking at him looking slightly worried. Alfred's expression doesn't change, but he folds his hands a little.
"I will prepare anything you wish to eat, Master Jason. Not only for tonight."
He adds. Bryce nods in agreement at that, carding her fingers through Jason's hair a bit as she thinks.
"I see, I'm sure I can find something like that, you don't have to worry about me, okay?"
She tells him with a soft look. She takes a deep breath and brushes her hair back. She most likely has something for that, she's unsure what to do with public appearances and all but she's sure she can find something excuse to get out of things and work responsibilities.
*jason only seems more distressed by that, looking between bryce and alfred nervously, his breathing a bit off and panicked, sniffling as his wings twitch to hide his face. he doesnt know what to do he doesnt want them to do anything.
crime alley is his home and really feels more like it than anywhere else in this place, much more than the manor. everything there is mostly the same as his world and its his natural habitat. hes used to looking after himself he doesnt get it*
dont make me.
*he pleads, looking to bryce. its so soft that alfred probably cant make out the words but bryce can. jay cant handle this right now, dont make him.*
Bryce frowns at the reaction and waves Alfred off, who only sighs a bit before walking upstairs. Bryce kneels down in front of him, she would crouch but the extra weight might tip her over and she doesn't want to deal with that at the moment. She places a gentle hand on his arm, a worried look on her face.
"Jaylad, we don't have to talk about this right now okay? I'm not going to make you do anything, all I want is for you to be okay and happy, dear. For now let's just get changed and then we can spend some time together while everyone's on patrol, okay?"
She explains gently, she doesn't want to overwhelm him but she wants her boy to be safe, and Gotham really isn't that. It'll take time if anything.
*jason seems to relax a bit when alfred leaves, his breathing evening out and looking down at bryce now, fiddling with his claws a bit*
okay..
*he says softly, taking bryces hand from his arm and fiddling with the fingers a bit, face wings moving to pin back to the sides. they seem to have grown some claws that have completely replaced her nails with the skin being darker at the tips, similar to jays*
Bryce smiles, looking curiously when he takes her hand. She had noticed the claws that ripped through the fabric of her gloves, but she hadn't really looked at them fully until now. She sighs a little.
"Good...have you been reading anything new recently? The library has a nice collection, you're always free to look."
She says quietly, wanting to prompt the kid more while they wait for Alfred to come back with clothes hopefully. She lets him fiddle with her fingers happily, making a soft squeaking noise that she wasn't sure she could make, it surprises her a bit but she doesn't say anything, her ears twitching a hint.
*jason smiles at the sound of her squeaking, making a small coo back on instinct with his face wings going to spread out happily.
bruce never made those noises much since he learned how to repress them but hearing another person like him make more animal sounds automatically invites him to call back. instincts he supposes*
hm.. the library is quiet
*he comments, grunting a bit in thought. he hasnt read in a long time, not since he ran away from his bruces place*
"It is yes...though you're always welcome to come and sit with me if you'd like. I don't mind visitors in my study or room, and we should really get you a phone so you can contact me when I'm not home..."
She mumbles a little as she thinks aloud a bit. She smiles when his face wings spread out again, making a small clicking noise in the back of her throat. It does remind her of how the bats in the cave tend to sound, so she supposes that makes sense.
*jay makes a similar clicking sound back as he thinks, a small pout on his face*
i've never had a phone
*he hums a bit. bruce never really bought him one, just a comm for patrol. jason used to sneak out to crime alley alot anyways and bruce never really cared. if he found out then he would be mad but more so because jason wouldnt be home to patrol.*
"Well, we'll have to get you one then, you can even download ebooks on there to read without having to search for them."
She mentions with a small smile, she goes to cup his cheek a bit before standing up when she hears Alfred opening the door to the cave, which usually she can't hear, but one of her ears goes up and turns go the noise, Alfred's footsteps beginning a few moments later.
He's holding some clothing for both of them in his arms. He only nods at them before placing the clothes down on the desk by the batcomputer and leaving back up the stairs.
"Thank you..."
Bryce mumbles, though she's not sure if he heard her.
"I'm going to use the showers down here, but if you'd like you can go upstairs and use your bathroom, okay?"
She whispers to Jason, ruffling his hair a little and coos a bit at him before moving to take her clothing from the desk.
*jays face makes a little 'o' at that, one of his face wings pinning back so bryce can cup his face, leaning into it before noticing alfred coming and looking at the man*
thank you alfie
*he smiles a bit shyly, voice quiet but louder than bryce so alfred can hear at least. jason gawks when bryce ruffles his hair but grins, cooing back before watching her and climbing the chair, making sure his claws dont tear anything and perching on it, making a small clicking sound and tilting his head at his own clothes*
oh.. ok
Bryce smiles a bit at him before taking her clothes from the table.
"If there's an emergency come get me or Alfred, of course. I'll meet you upstairs after, okay? We can sit together for a while."
She tells him, trying to be careful with her claws as she takes her clothing, they seem fairly sharp and the shirt Alfred has given her is fairly soft but definitely tearable.
She waves at Jason before heading to the direction of the showers.
*jason hums, waving back and his wings flapping behind him before taking the clothes, being able to hold and touch stuff with his claws gently without ripping anything due to practice without thought and jumping off the chair with his wings, making his way up the stairs and into the manor.
when he gets to his room or at least the guest room bryce have him he leaves the clothes on the bed before hopping in the shower and changing into the clothes when hes done, laying on his stomach and spreading his wings while waiting for bryce to come back.*
Bryce takes her time solely because she realizes her wings don't actually fit in the showers in the cave comfortably and it takes her a second to finagle it without hurting them. She simply rinses herself off and gets the gel and makeup off, going to change into a fairly soft and big shirt (holes cut in to the back she can slip the wings into.) with a sports bra that's easier on the wings and avoids them a little at least, as well as sweatpants.
She leaves her hair down for now and walks up the stairs, wincing a bit more at all the noise, the shower itself was annoying because of how awful the sound of the water falling was, and makes her way to Jason's bedroom. She knocks, wincing at the sound when she does it before taking a deep breath and settling a little.
*jason perks up at the sound of the knocking, making a soft clicking noise before opening the door with a small smile and walking back on to the bed, crossing his legs and slowly flapping his wings behind him.
his feathers are a bit messy now that he took a shower and dried his wings. he has been preening his wings himself but other than that first time in the manor no one has properly preened the back ones other than the parts jay attempts to do himself.
Bryce smiles back at him, walking in and going to sit on the bed next to him. She looks him over, as well as his wings and hums a little.
"Do you need help with your wings?"
She whispers, folding her legs beneath her and letting her wings relax a little. She's been trying to spend as much time with Jason as she can but with her other children and responsibilities it's been hard to find the time, which does break her heart a little. Hopefully with the fact she needs to stay in because of the wings and all it'll be easier to get the time.
He seems to like going out to crime alley and all and that's a conversation they should have at some point, she's not sure if it's nostalgia reasons or instinctual...maybe she could come along with him to keep an eye on him, just to be sure. The protectiveness feels more intense right now and she resists the urge to just hold Jason to her and never let him go.
*jason hums a bit, turning his head to look back at her. its not all the way, just to the side but he seems to have more movement thab the average person here.*
uhh..
*he hesitates, pressing his lips together. jay really does need and want help but he doesnt want to ask or bother her.*
you don'ave to
*jason settles on, turning his head forward and playing with his claws a bit. he thinks thats a good in between. hes not saying no but he's making sure bryce doesnt feel like she has to*
"I'd like to help."
She says, moving a bit closer to him and unfolding her legs so they're resting more to the side, propping herself up on one hand. She smiles at him softly.
She looks over his wings a little, one of hers subconsciously moving to go behind him a bit as she scans the boy a bit.
"I won't do anything you don't want me to."
*jason frowns a bit at that, smiling softly when bryces wing comes around but it quickly falls with one of his hands coming to grab onto one of his face wings and hold it closer to his face*
ok.
*if not for bryce's more enhanced healing right now she probably wouldnt be able to hear him with how small his voice was but it was just a silent plea for her to do it without him having to ask.*
Bryce sighs a bit but moves to the back of his wings to look them over, being gentle as she goes to start preening them. He doesn't seem to not want her to, and if he doesn't all of a sudden she won't protest. Her wing goes to settle a little beside Jason as she goes, slowly but surely while focusing.
"I hope you've been okay, I know new places can be overwhelming."
She mumbles a little after a while of silence. She makes a soft squeaking sound as she does. A lot of the noises have been subconscious, but Jason seems to enjoy it when she makes them, so she lets herself relax with that. If Jason is happy then she is. It's far quieter in this room, and she's gotten used to how good her hearing is now. Her ears aren't as pinned back anymore, still slightly twitching but not in a way that reads as discomfort, mostly just because of how focused she is on the task.
*jason relaxes when she starts preening, happy he chose the right choice and doing the underside himself. he smiles when he notices bryces wings surrounding him, similar to how he surrounded bryce in his before and letting his face wings spread out again.
jay coos back whenever bryce makes a noise on instinct while that same purr like noise is still in the background during the preening session.*
uhh.. 's ok.
*he pauses his coos to speak before resuming them after, nuzzling his face into the feathers of his wing for a second before continuing to preen them. crime alley really feels the most like home to him now a days and the manor is a bit overwhelming so he likes just staying there.*
She hums a bit at that, smiling at him as he coos, clicking back and continuing to preen. It doesn't look as bad as it had when he first arrived so it doesn't take her too long to get them done.
"Since I'll probably be stuck in the manor for a while, considering the whole bat situation if you will, I'm sure we can spend so more time together if you'd like. I know you enjoy being out of the manor a good amount of the time...I could always come along with you if you'd like."
She whispers as she double checks her work to make sure the feathers look good. The claws actually seem to be helping her do it easier than before, which is definitely nicer.
"There we go...is that better?"
*jay checks over his wings when hes done, moving them a little but making sure not to hit anything especially since bryce has wings now too! jason has been preening them while living in the alley and such but the back wings are always a pain. they look good and he gives a small coo of approval before turning to look at bryce, ruffing his face feathers a bit.*
mmhm!
*he nods before hesitantly moving closer to bryce, folding his wings up and putting himself inside hers.*
ill stay.. you have wings now
*jason decides, making a soft clicking noise. she'll probably need him to help with her wings and jay would like to stay for a bit*
