S.O.S. (SAVE OUR SHIP!)

So…

If there was one thing his family had learnt in the six months since discovering Jay and Rae being an item, it was that Jason and Raven were really good together. They were a pair which seemed to just click and go. Opposite as the poles, but they meshed well. And they didn't fight; ever. Not even after the Joker's attempt of Raven's life when Raven raised hell with which the likes had never been seen in Gotham and kept the clown in voluntary lock up. Raven had broken the clown in a way which had Jason all but dancing in glee (seriously, Dick couldn't think of a stake out with Jason as of late where Jason wasn't re-watching the video he had of Joker screaming in terror and running as fast as he could for Arkham with Raven after him).

Back to the point, Jason and Raven didn't fight. At least until now, and they seemed to have declared war with one another and dug in their trenches (what the fight was about Dick had no idea but it was enough to have the whole family in a panic they were breaking up).

See, the Batfamily did not handle disruption to stability well, his break up with Barbara had everyone immediately latching onto Jason and Raven's relationship for a sense of normalcy. It was a hope for normalcy, and Raven and Jason's relationship was normal. Except now, and Jason was a bit more violent than usual and Raven was in Boston with Victor, the war was ignited; what over they didn't know, however, Dick was a bit worried.

Which was why he walked into the bar with Bruce beside him (one knew shit was a mess in a personal situation when even Bruce was looking for a solution; and the Jason-Raven war was concerning). Victor was sitting at the bar, sipping his beer and Dick walked up to sit by him, Bruce flanking Victor. It was after a panicked call to Victor yesterday demanding he talk to Raven so as to fix this thing between Jason and Raven that had Vic laughing and telling them to meet him here for a drink.

"Vic, thank God! Please tell me Rae will talk to Jay!" Dick sighed as he motioned to have a beer of his own. Victor snorted.

"Are you two stupid?"

"Victor, they aren't talking, Jason's getting exceedingly reckless!" Dick started in.

"I know," Vic nodded.

"How do we fix this?" Bruce demanded.

Victor snorted again. "Boy, you two are clueless."

"What? They're all but breaking up!" Dick stated, yes, he was worried for Jason and Raven if they broke up because it wasn't going to be pretty. It was also going to hurt the family and Dick didn't know how he and his brothers would handle losing another piece of normal.

"No they aren't," Victor chuckled.

"What?" Bruce blinked.

"Damn, you know, for as many relationships as you two have had, I'm surprised at you. Jay and Rae are in the middle of a fight, their normal solution is to take time apart, and cool down," Victor shrugged.

Dick looked at Bruce who looked confused.

"Look, they've been at this a lot longer than you've been involved, yeah, they've been friends for a long time, but they spent an entire year before they were officially friends figuring each other out. This war they're having, this isn't even close to the worst one, or even a break up," Victor shrugged.

"And you are certain of this?" Bruce asked.

"Yeah."

"How?" Dick demanded.

"Cause they're still calling each other at night, even if they say nothing, the point is they're reaching out, this will sort itself out, and for the sake of your sanity and health I suggest you don't but in."

"Any idea what they're fighting about?" Dick asked.

"Nope, Rae's got my spare room, and Jay's in Gotham, and they're cooling off. Beats the time he went off to Europe and ripped apart the Russian mob, and she came to San Francisco to destroy Klarion. Now that war might have busted them up," Victor shrugged.

"So you're… you're certain they aren't breaking up?" Dick demanded.

"Positive, and I'm betting they're on the phone right now, sitting in silence," Victor shrugged.

"Why?" Bruce asked.

"Just their thing, look, worry about them when they're moping, not storming and raging at the other. They don't fight often but worry when they mope. If they're raging at one another then they'll be fine." Victor shrugged.

"You're confident about that?" Dick asked as calmly as he could manage.

"Raven and Jason are a going to be fine. They've always been a storm, well, not Rae, she's the calm, but Jason's always a storm, and they fight wars with one another on occasion. They'll be fine, they always are, even in the worst of it, they're fine."

"Why do you say that?" Bruce asked.

"Because they both actively work at their relationship, friends first, dating second, they work hard to keep going, now, if all you two were after is an S.O.S. then rest assure there's nothing to save, and I hear you have a betting pool on when Jay proposes, put me down for two hundred, two years from now," Victor said.

"Really?" Dick frowned.

"Oh trust me, they're not going anywhere, and really, two hundred, two years from now," Victor predicted. "They've been at this a long time, they spent the first year of knowing one another just figuring each other out, they were officially friends a year after Raven found him, trust me, they'll be fine."

"S.O.S.?" Bruce asked.

"Yeah, save our ship, it's a joke Kori started on their first all out war as a couple," Victor smirked.

"Kori knew about them?"

"Yeah, they thought she didn't know, and until you guys found out about them Kori was going to leave it be, now, not so much, they're both her friends," Victor shrugged.

"Great," Bruce muttered.

"Worry when they mope," Victor repeated.

More on the way today.

That's all for now folks.

Enjoy Calm in the Storm. =)
