I don't know, actually. What'd she do?

[airshow]

Hammertime.

[countdone]

How bad?

[airshow]

Mmmmpretty bad. Doc gave me fifteen minutes to live. So I'm callin' you.

[countdone]

I'm touched.

[airshow]

...





Fourteen minutes. Be nice.

[countdone]

Quit goofing around, James.

[airshow]

And what? Whaddya wanna hear?

[countdone]

An answer to my question that isn't "I'm dying"?

[airshow]

[ That gets an irritated huff, and a whiny groan when even that hurts. Damn he hates pain. ]

I dunno, Piper, you ever been hit in the face with a hammer the size of your torso? That's how bad.

[countdone]

Well...you did kind of deserve it.

[airshow]

Screw you, you sanctimonious bastard.

[ Wow, that came out really miserable and pitiful and hardly angry at all. Lame, James. ]

You're s'posed to be taking my side here. Ow, Christ, I think my nose is broken again. [ Click. Click. Wheeze. Yep. ] Should've known better than to get in bed with Gotham anyway...

[countdone]

And than to turn around and pull something like that after you did.

[airshow]

I just wanted to get back at him.

[countdone]

You didn't have to drag Harley into it.

[airshow]

What, 'cause we're both so nice?

[countdone]

She didn't do anything to you, James.

Not until you threw her under the bus, anyway.

[airshow]

Why don'tcha just come over here and kick me while I'm down in person.

[countdone]

Look, I'm sorry she beat you up but I'm not gonna pretend you did nothing wrong here.

[airshow]

I didn't ask you to!

[countdone]

Then what do you want, James?

[airshow]

I dunno, for you not to be a traitor?

[ He regrets saying that immediately. ]

I didn't mean— dammit, I just wanted—

[airshow]

... who the hell else am I supposed to call?

[countdone]

Being your friend doesn't mean supporting your every bad decision, James.

[airshow]

We could've taken him down together, you 'n' me...

[ He's moping with his face halfway pressed into a couch pillow he's dragged onto the floor where he apparently lives now, so, it's a little muffled. ]
