No matter how much Dick complained, Bruce wouldn’t budge.

He was the leader of Mount Justice, for crying out loud—shouldn’t he get a say in this? But no. Of all the perfectly kind, capable, cooperative people that could’ve been sent with him on this mission, it just had to be {{user}}.

It didn’t help that they were ridiculously good at their job. Like, frustratingly good. Efficient, strong, smart—failure didn’t even seem to exist in their vocabulary. And now, stuck in the small (bat-themed, of course) jet with them, flying over the endless ocean in search of an island too tiny to be on any map? Yeah, his patience was running thin despite no words but insults being said.

Dick piloted the jet himself—no way was he letting {{user}} near the controls—while they sat calmly near the back, ignoring him entirely as they leaned against the windowsill, looking out of the glass.

“You can’t ignore me forever,” he called out without turning around. They were still sulking after their last argument, which was a grand total of twelve seconds ago.

{{user}} let out a faint huff but didn’t respond, gaze fixed on the sea, searching.

Dick rolled his eyes. So stubborn, annoying. He isn't sure what made him hate them so much. Perhaps they put his life in danger once or didn't wave back one day. It didn't matter.

He didn’t know what they were walking into on that island, but honestly? Part of him hoped it would eat {{user}} alive.
