Monitor duty (open)
Monitor duty was never really very much fun, but someone had to do it. And today, that someone was Annie. And as someone who'd just returned to the JLA from a little leave of absence, she naturally had a few monitor duty shifts to make up for. Unfortunately, unless there was a chance of impending doom, monitor duty was one of the most boring things in pretty much the entire world.

Annie twirled around in her chair, blowing a lose strand of hair out of her face. She really should've brought her Kindle Fire with her.

	"Oh, of course. Those dust bunnies are tricky little things. I'm still convinced they were in cahoots with the lint balls." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods seriously. Or semi-seriously. Or something. "I would never doubt a Dibny's nose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-05 12:59 pm UTC (link)
	"This nose is never wrong. Especially when it comes to mysteries." She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's one of those JLA-legendary truths you can just count on, up there with 'this is a job for Superman' and 'Batman isn't happy.'" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-05 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	"'Batman isn't happy' isn't so much a legendary truth as it's an actual fact of life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-05 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	"There is that. As I recall, your dad used to do a great Batman impression. I don't think anyone else even wanted to try it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-05 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Dad's Batman impression is so great that even Batman does it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-05 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	That gets a wider grin. "He's gotten very good at it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-05 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Over the years, I think Batman's just watched my Dad for tips on how to improve his scowl." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-05 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	He nods in all mock-seriousness. "That's where he picked up all the detective skills, so it makes sense." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-05 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	"It's really obvious. Batman gets all of his good tricks from my dad. Dad's just too nice to say anything about it." She nodded, holding back a fit of giggles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The Dibny secret is safe with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good. I'd have to unspeakable things to you if you told. And that would make me very sad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 12:42 am UTC (link)
	"Unspeakable thing? Then worry not, we need not speak of this again. I'd hate to make you sad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-06 01:17 am UTC (link)
	"Yes. Sad me is not a happy me, as most people know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 01:18 am UTC (link)
	"Kind of by definition, yes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This conversation's reaching depressing territory. And my shift's almost over anyway so....ice cream?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 01:51 am UTC (link)
	"We can't have that - I wouldn't recognize you without a smile on your face. As for that... magic words, Miss Dibny, magic words. Unless you'd like a burger and milkshake first, then ice cream? My treat for an old friend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-06 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"If I had a scowl on my face, someone might accidentally mistake me as Batman." She shuddered. "That's a scary thing to think of." She grinned. "I'd love to, Jon. That sounds like an excellent plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 02:11 am UTC (link)
	He offers an arm. "Excellent. I know great places for all of the above." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-06 02:17 am UTC (link)
	Annie took the offered arm with a smile. "Surprise me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 02:21 am UTC (link)
	"Me? No. I'm safe and predictable. But they're still really good burgers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-06 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"You know, you could just be saying this to lure me into a false sense of safety. Then I eat an exploding burger." She smirked. "Or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 02:32 am UTC (link)
	"You've known me for how long? I'm pretty sure that exploding burgers are not among my powers... yeah, pretty sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-06 12:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, with the proper application of your heat vision to said burger, you could probably make it explode." She smirked. "Or just burn it to a crisp." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-06 03:42 pm UTC (link)
	"That would be a crime against a perfectly good hamburger." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-12 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd have to press charges. Cruelty against tasty hamburgers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-12 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd never do such a thing. I'm pretty sure assault on a cheeseburger would conflict with that whole truth and justice thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-16 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"It's a crime most fowl. I'd have no choice but to hand you over to the proper authorities." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-16 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"Can't have that, now. But safe to say, your food is entirely safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miss_flexible 2013-01-18 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	"That's great to know. C'mon. Burgers and milkshakes are calling us!" (Reply to this)(Parent)
