| - I'M NOT INTERESTED IN BEING A HERO - "I'm sorry. I didn't know." Claire seemed to regret what she said when Jason went off on his rant, and Snart sighed. No one truly knows what happened to Jason, only he does. Snart only figured out that mentioning the clown around Jason had some rather, unpleasant consequences. He remembers bringing the male up in a conversation with him and Jason kicking his ass into next week.
He gave Claire a nod and a look that said 'It's not your fault', in reality, Snart couldn't do anymore. Rather than risk his luck with Jason, he went to say something when Claire spoke up, quickly changing topics. "Uh.. truthfully I've been hoping to run into someone super rich like Bruce Wayne. If I could get even a small percentage of his money I'd be set. Maybe. I'm greedy though so who knows."
"Ain't that the truth. Though I don't know if I'd stop what I do now. In reality, I don't do it for the money. Well I do, but it's more for the Flash's attention. Figured if he pays attention to me, that means I'll be remembered for something, even if it isn't the greatest thing, I won't be forgotten" he said, playing with the sleeves of his sweater.
The air around Jason was tense and angered and Snart didn't like the sudden shift, but he could tell Claire was trying her best to change that. She talked more about how she got into one party and Snart felt a small twinge of jealousy. "You got into one of his parties? The most exciting thing we have in Central is Flash day, and he's even late for that! Nothing worthwhile anyway" he said, shrugging his shoulders.
Shifting so his posture was more relaxed, he moved closer to Claire to avoid pressing himself into the glass any longer. After finally getting comfortable in his seat, Snart hummed and looked at Claire. "Have you ever been outside of the Gotham area? Like near Coast or even Central?" he asked, genuinely curious about her answers.
Maybe he would have to thank Flash after all. He felt his leg slowly fall asleep and he cursed, not moving it, seeing as the slightest movements caused pins and needles to shoot up the length of his leg. Sitting in wet clothes for however, long they were talking was taking a toll on Snart. He felt himself shivering slightly and felt the annoying itch of an impending sneeze.
He could tell he was getting sick, and how ironic that it would be a cold. Now Len's immune system wasn't the best and when he would start getting sick, it would hit him faster than most people. Taking two sharp inhales, he turned and sneezed into his elbow that wasn't next to Claire, it'd be rude if sneezed in her direction. Groaning quietly he sneezed two more times in a way that Lisa would call 'The Infamous Captain Kitten Sneeze.' He likes to deny that and says his sneezes are more manly than kittens, more like, tigers, but Lisa is stubborn.
"Sorry, think i'm gettin' sick" he said, looking out of the window to see that it was still raining. Closing his eyes and sighed, he dropped his head on the table again, he seemed to be doing that alot lately, and listened to the rain. "Don't suppose it ever stops raining here?" he asked, only half joking, it is Gotham after all.

I know that blood will be spilled. And if you wont, then I will. The Red HoodMy grave will never be filled. It's either kill or be killed. Jason tried to pay attention to what they were saying as he struggled to force the Lazarus haze from his head. It was so, so frustrating to the antihero, how he had to tiptoe around his own mind because one wrong word and he'd set himself off into a blood-filled frenzy. At least he had gotten better at beating back the devil under his skin. Had this moment cropped up when he was fresh from resurrection, the mere mention of the clown would have had this night ending with someone bleeding out on the ground.
"Uh.. truthfully I've been hoping to run into someone super rich like Bruce Wayne. If I could get even a small percentage of his money I'd be set. Maybe. I'm greedy though so who knows" Bruce Wayne. That name seemed to burrow through the mess in his head. Naturally, Bruce would find a way to control him, even on a subconscious level, even when he wasn't fucking around. He blinked and flexed his fingers as he shook away the lingering remnants of madness. When he spoke, his voice still teetered on the edge of unstable and violent, but not as bad as before. That wicked grin twisting his lips seemed just a tad too cruel for the situation to warrant. "Rob Bruce Wayne? Sign me the fuck up. He's got plenty of money to share."He focused on Snart with laser-like intensity when the thief spoke up. "Ain't that the truth. Though I don't know if I'd stop what I do now. In reality, I don't do it for the money. Well I do, but it's more for the Flash's attention. Figured if he pays attention to me, that means I'll be remembered for something, even if it isn't the greatest thing, I won't be forgotten" Jason let out a breath of laughter. "That's the saddest thing I heard all day, and I live in Gotham." Really though, Jason could sympathize. "Can't say I blame ya, though. Being forgotten? That's a special brand of pain." There was just a hint of bitterness coloring his words. Unfortunately, Jason spoke from experience. Being tortured and killed was one thing. Climbing out of your grave and finding out your family moved on, replaced you like you never existed, now THAT was a pain nobody could replicate.Jason then returned his attention to Claire when she spoke about getting into one of Bruce's parties. He snorted with amusement. The antihero wasn't sure what 'magic' she was referring to, but he doubted it'd work on Bruce. That man was notoriously stubborn and aggravatingly observant. "Getting him alone to work your 'magic' ain't gonna work on him. He's the most empty-headed idiot I've ever met." Insulting Bruce Wayne was always fun, but he was subtly trying to steer her from trying to rob the man face-to-face. That couldn't end well for her.
" 'Sides, Batman likes to hover over him like a hawk." He shifted to look around the emptying diner before leaning in and faux-whispering, as if sharing some great secret. "I think they're secretly dating." God, Bruce was going to kill him again but this was so worth it. He absolutely loved encouraging the 'Bruce Wayne and Batman are dating' story. Jason hoped Snart would bring the story back to his rogues and a surge of gossip would rise in the villain community.When Snart brought up visiting other cities, Jason let out a long "Laaaame. Everyone knows Gotham's where it's at." He shot the man a crooked grin and would have winked for added effect, but it would go unnoticed, thanks to his domino. "I still think we should rob Sionis. Oh, or we could go throw popcorn at Batman and Robin. That's always hilarious." It was extra funny when Damian would try and stab him with his sword and Bruce would get all broody and yell at his son. What can he say? Jason was a man of simple pleasures. Most of them being irritating others.The vigilante was brought out of his thoughts by Snart sneezing repeatedly. It was a high sort of sneeze and made Jason start laughing outright. "Don't suppose it ever stops raining here?" Really, that was a good question. It was almost always raining or gloomy in Gotham. "It'll stop once Batman decides he doesn't need the dramatic background to brood in front of. He's such a fuckin drama queen.""Speaking" 'Thinking' "Others speaking"Tagged: Leonard Snart Claire Vega Notes: Jason won't stop insulting Bruce send help Words: 743Translations:

She still felt terrible, but felt a little reassured when Snart nodded to her. The girl thought about trying to use some of her mind control crap on Jason, but she wasn't sure if it would help or somehow make things worse. She decided to let it be since he appeared to be handling it on his own.
Claire thought about what Snart said carefully, about not wanting to be forgotten and doing crimes for attention. Was that what she, or all trouble makers did? She did like attention, even if not for her crimes. If they did steal from Bruce Wayne surely they'd have fame no matter the outcome. She wasn't sure if that was what she wanted. Up until now she did just fine being unknown.
"It was easy enough to get in, all I had to do was ask. It was a nice experience too, seeing how the rich people lived and how much they really don't need all that money. Don't think I left empty handed either." She shrugged. "I know my own limits, that's why I don't get caught." Did Jason think she couldn't handle herself? Men.
"Batman and Bruce Wayne? I wonder how much money Batman has then." She was clearly joking, she likes her bones where they are. "I wonder which one of them is the- you know, nevermind. I don't want to know."
She looked over to Snart and gave him a slight nod. "I was in Central once a few years back but I didn't get to look around. It's.. brighter that's for sure." She was about to say more when he sneezed. "Really? You should stay here and toughen up a bit. Sick already. Sheesh." Did it ever stop raining? It was cloudy a lot of the time that was certain. "I like the weather here. Batman can stay emo for all I care."

" 'Sides, Batman likes to hover over him like a hawk. I think they're secretly dating." That certainly confused Snart. Batman..and Bruce Wayne? The scariest being in all of Gotham (besides Scarecrow because that guy is too into fear) is dating the resident air-head billionaire? Opposites really do attract then.
He had a confused look on his face as he tried processing this new information dropped on him. Surely Red Hood would know if that's true right? He works with the Batman, he'd know, Snart's certain of it, but something just didn't sit right.
He was broken out of his thoughts when Jason spoke. "It'll stop once Batman decides he doesn't need the dramatic background to brood in front of. He's such a fuckin drama queen." That caused Snart to smile, and he turned his head into the table to hide his face. He didn't need them to see him smile. No one 'sides Lisa could get him to genuinely smile, and he was confused why Jason could do that.
"Batman stop brooding? That'll be the day Flash decides to give his..speed up" Snart stopped himself from speaking when he heard just how nasally his voice was getting. Groaning once more he turned to look at the pair of people he'd been with.
"Really? You should stay here and toughen up a bit. Sick already. Sheesh." Snart gave a glare he tried to fill with anger, but it turned out to be more of a glare worthy of pity, not fear. "There is nothing on this earth that will get me to stay in Gotham. I was mugged within ten minutes." he said, throwing his arms over his head.
He knew he was being dramatic, but he couldn't help it. He was pretty certain that the old lady staring at the three could whoop his ass without her cane. Everyone in Gotham was at least ten times scarier than Central, and he says that fully knowing about Godspeed and Zoom.
"I like the weather here. Batman can stay emo for all I care." That caused Snart to give her an odd look. It barely rained in Central. Is this where all Central's rain went, to Gotham? Actually, he wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Mardon would have a field day with the amount of rain coming.
"Does the sun ever shine? Or is it like eternal night because of Batman's 'brooding'?" he asked, Gotham confused the poor male. A moment later he moved so his arms were resting under his chin. He looked up at Jason and had a look on his face that said 'How can you live here.' He studied the male's face, then went back to laying his head back down. As he was feeling miserable for himself, Snart thought about Jason's ideas of 'fun'. It wasn't like he was doing anything, and he could call Barry and ask him to bring him the cold gun, and a parka, seeing as he was only left hit goggles and regular clothes. "Alright. After a long internal debate, i've decided angering Sionis would be more fun than sitting here. And bringing him to Central, Flash will love me for that." he said.

I know that blood will be spilled. And if you wont, then I will. The Red HoodMy grave will never be filled. It's either kill or be killed. Seeing that they believed him to some degree about Bruce dating Batman, Jason grinned. This was amazing. He was going to have to tell his siblings. They were definitely going to lose their shit. It was like an ongoing competition to see who could embarrass Bruce the most. Jason liked to think he was winning, being the family disappointment and all that, but Dick had years more experience and Tim was just a sneaky bastard with no sense of shame. It was a close game.
"It was easy enough to get in, all I had to do was ask. It was a nice experience too, seeing how the rich people lived and how much they really don't need all that money. Don't think I left empty handed either. I know my own limits, that's why I don't get caught." Jason just shook his head, a small smirk twisting the furthest corner of his lips. He could definitely agree with the whole 'more money than they needed' mentality. There was enough wealth in one gala setting to completely turn around Gotham's economy and help the impoverished, but they hoarded it all to themselves. Bruce put up a good front of being like them, but Jason knew the man all but threw his money out the window for people. He saw the expense reports from Bruce donating and trying to rebuild the damaged sections of the city. It nearly made Jason's head spin from all the commas and zeroes. Still, he would have no problem robbing Bruce for a couple mil, just to piss him off. He made that money back plus interest in just a few hours, anyway.
He raised his hands in a placating gesture. "Hey, just tryin' to help. If there's one thing I learned about this lifestyle is that you should never get too comfortable with your skills and anything's possible. Hell, I dug my way out of my own grave and Batman traveled through time." Being a super anything meant going through the craziest events, from alien invasions to facing inter-dimensional rodent versions of yourself (now that had been a weird day). He just didn't want to see her getting jumped by the big bad Bat, because that bastard had a tendency to swoop in with evidence of crimes from the most obscure and impossible sources. Jason should know, he had more than a few broken bones from confrontations. "But hey, props for pulling that off at his gala. Usually only Catwoman tries that." Claire definitely had the ambition and possibly the skill to go to the next level. He was curious to see if she would want to run with the big dogs.
"Batman and Bruce Wayne? I wonder how much money Batman has then. I wonder which one of them is the- you know, nevermind. I don't want to know." At that, Jason immediately fake gagged and shuddered. He did not need to think about any of that. He felt like he needed to pour bleach in his ears now to cleanse his brain. "Oh God, please don't ever bring that up. I don't need to think of my mentor like that. At all. Like ever." It was bad enough that he knew Bruce and Selina had a thing going on and that Bruce had an actual blood child. Maybe this was karma for suggesting he was dating himself.
He caught sight of Snart hiding his smile, as if embarrassed Jason got him to grin. The vigilante made a mental note to try and make him smile only to embarrass him more. When Snart spoke up, revealing just how nasally his voice was becoming, Jason had to bite his lip to stop from outright laughing. Even still, he chuckled under his breath. "There is nothing on this earth that will get me to stay in Gotham. I was mugged within ten minutes." Jason let out an almost offended gasp and put an affronted hand to his heart. "Not even my dashing good looks and sparkling personality? And here I thought you liked me. That's it, someone dig up my old coffin, I need to lie down."When Claire brought up Batman staying emo, he snorted. That was exactly what was going to happen. Honestly, that man was the living embodiment of Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, but with less friends. "Does the sun ever shine? Or is it like eternal night because of Batman's 'brooding'?" See? Emo. Jason did have a soft-spot for the shitty city, though. He doesn't think he'd survive in another city. They're all too....vanilla for him. Well, except for Bludhaven and Hub City. "Alright. After a long internal debate, i've decided angering Sionis would be more fun than sitting here. And bringing him to Central, Flash will love me for that." With an amused huff, Jason all but sat on Snart and slung an arm over his shoulders. "See? This is why I like you. Now, I just need to get you to throw popcorn at the Brady Bat-bunch and we're peachy. Though, personally, I was hoping throw Roman out a window, but sending him to Central would be hilarious too." His gaze turned to Claire and that wide, devil-may-care grin tugged his lips. Everything about him just radiated 'trouble' at that moment. "How 'bout you, Claire? I got some spare armor pieces, though they might be a bit big. You good with a gun or are they not your style?" Already, he was mentally going through his armory and sizing up what might or might not work for the heist. He knew she had concerns about 'being on their level', which was completely understandable. And given what they were planning, a fire fight was almost unavoidable. Well, unless they went the patented 'Bat' method and snuck in, but where was the fun in that? "Don't worry, we got your back." Whether or not having The Red Hood and Captain Cold at your back was a good thing wasn't entirely clear. But hey, he thought of it as a learning experience."Speaking" 'Thinking' "Others speaking"Tagged: Leonard Snart Claire Vega Notes: I RAMBLED, SORRY OOP.

Claire watched Jason, wondering if he was really concerned about her. "I'll keep that in mind." She nodded. "Catwoman.. I'd like to meet her someday. She's one of the best thieves in Gotham, and stylish too. I bet she's gorgeous under that mask, and leather."
She started laughing after she apparently grossed Jason our completely after mentioning Batman and Bruce together. "Ah.. but you need to tell me, is he good looking? Think Bruce makes him keep the mask on when they..you know." Claire had a big smile on her face, knowing she was instigating even more.
"Mugged within ten minutes because you looked like an easy target. Gotham locals can smell the fear of tourists." She joked, although it was partly true. Gotham people, like the weather somehow had less color. Maybe because the sun didn't shine as much, or maybe it was all the dark colors they wore. Either way, Snart didn't quite fit.
She looked back to Jason, bringing up guns and armor. She wasn't fond of guns although she did know how to shoot. Growing up in Gotham it was sort of a necessity. She made no of showing that she didn't like them. With what they were planning it was probably best she had proper protection. There was a phrase about that..something about bringing a knife to a gun fight.
She stood up from the table and looked down at the two men. "Shall we go then, or is Captain Cold too sick? She noticed he had gone a bit quiet."
