seven : a scary conversation [AUDIO]

[everylittlegirl]

[Hayley sighs a little, then sounds mostly disappointed. Those paying close attention can probably tell it masks a level of anger.]

Seriously? Is no one talking about the whole people getting murdered thing?

[ooc: Action for Superman is in first thread]

[100% Trek encrypted to: Clark]
[There's the longest pause before she speaks, extremely quiet and definitely scared.]

So I, uh.. was dead.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Lois]
[Her voice is mostly level when she messages Lois, but clearly hiding something less neutral.]

I know you and Clark tell each other everything, so whatever. I need some time off from the radio.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Bruce Banner]
You need to see something. Can you come over later?

[100% Trek encrypted to: Dick Grayson (comics)]
You know, you never actually told me who your family members are.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Jason Todd]
Tell me you're not too busy for a drink.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Maxwell Lord]
[There's a pause, then Hayley sounds more pleasant.]
Hey.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Chekov]
Will you help teach me how to encrypt things? I want to learn.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Loki]
What makes a soul any different from just like, memories and neurons and whatever?

[100% Trek encrypted to: Jor-El] - (added a short while later)
You have all the same powers Superman does, right?

[100% Trek encrypted to: Bruce Wayne] - (added a short while later)
I'm sorry, about work. I just need a few more days off and then I'll come back. Please?

[Assume she hasn't shown up the last week or so.]

[100% Trek encrypted to: Sabriel] - (added a short while later)
I want to learn magic.

[Hayley gives a forced smile, then nods, trying to seem more upbeat than she feels when he asks to be kept informed.]

Yeah, of course. Maybe you can help investigate or whatever.

[Except then he begins listing off his family members. Her face actually pales, an uncontrolled and less than ideal response.]

What?

I'm scarily good at investigating things and not letting people know about it.

[As in, he's damn good at sneaking around if need be. Discreetly checking things without giving himself away.

Still, she looks like she might pass out for a second, and Dick looks concerned.]

Are you okay? You asked me to list my family, so I did.

[everylittlegirl]

Meaning you're going to investigate whether I keep you informed or not?

[The accusative reply hides her kneejerk response to his family tree. Hayley recovers quickly, adopting an expression equal parts sarcastic and surprised as she continues.]

I can't believe you're related to Damian. And my boss.

[bludhavenknight]

More like keep my eyes, and especially my ears open. You never know what other people might turn up with.

[Says it mildly. Because yeah, he'll keep an ear out for anything. Who knows what could happen?

Dick just shakes his head with a small smile.] Of course Bruce Wayne is your boss. But if you want to be technical, I'm adopted. Doesn't make me any less related, though.

[She's quiet for a moment, then just ignores the first part and moves on to the latter.]

Don't take it too personally. I work for Lois Lane and Tony Stark too. Plus Jor-El and I do these science lecture things? I just like to stay busy.
