Okay honestly, I'm surprised no one brought up the issue on just how much property damage the League/YJ/and heck, even the Teen Titans cause. Really? How is Bruce not bankrupt paying for these repairs?
I do not own Young Justice.
Urbicide - destruction of a city.
"Hey Bruce?" Dick asked as he casually walked up to the computer chair, or BatChair as he dubbed it. Acknowledging the slight turn of the head that the seated man gave him, Dick continued, "Would this make Superman a murderer?" He handed him a printed sheet of paper and on it was one single definition.
"Urbicide?" Bruce raised an eyebrow. Without the masked eyes of The Bat, the expression looked almost comical.
"Yeah, the destruction of a city. Have you seen Metropolis after Clark's last fight with that guy… Mango?"
"Murder is killing people, not buildings."
"But what about all the bacteria and insects and life forms living inside the buildings? He's technically killing them!"
Bruce sighed. He had predicted that Dick would bring this up sometime, and frankly he wasn't ready to answer it. "Would you prefer people die instead of cockroaches?" He used those pests on purpose, amusing himself by watching his ward try to maintain a straight face. Teenagers, how amusing it was to poke fun at them.
"Well no-yes-I mean… nevermind," Dick sighed. "I think I'll go to the mountain, be back in time for dinner." With that, he picked up him sunglasses and made way to his R-Cycle all the time muttering something about this being totally no pressive. (1)
Watching him walk toward the bike, Bruce couldn't help but let out a breath he was holding. Pressing a key on his holopad, he waited until Clark picked up.
"What's up Bruce?"
"I averted a crisis, but I suggest you look up urbicide and find a way to work around it," Bruce said in the voice of the bat. Not bothering with pleasantries, he cut the connection and went back to working on finding a new pattern to Two-Face's attacks.
Elsewhere, Clark was confused. Borrowing Lois's intensely high-tech phone, he used Google to look up Urbicide. His face must have paled a few shades because Lois was shooting him a questioning look.
Damn Robin and his obsession with words. How is he going to explain this to the kid?
(1) Referring to my last play on words where I had Robin wonder is pressive is the opposite of impressive.
Hope you guys enjoyed this one! Took me a while to find a good work for U, let alone find inspiration for it. But I think I did alright. Leave me a review! :D
