Re: Like this, maybe? XD

So Dick orders in pizza, and they get into a pretty serious Ultra Crush Cousins competition on his old Playtendo while they wait for the food. Gar seems a lot more relaxed once they've annihilated their dinner and are just flipping around the channels to see if there's anything half decent on. There isn't much, so they leave it on an old Rita Farr movie with the volume low.

Gar starts talking again. He tells Dick stories about Hollywood and New York, and answers questions about working in tv. He asks Dick things about being a normal teenager, then about the circus when he finds out where Dick grew up.

They're asleep on opposite ends of the couch by the time Bruce comes home.


Dick wasn't surprised that Gar was gone without a word the next morning. There was a hundred dollar bill tucked in his backpack, though, and he smiled as he hid it away for a rainy day.

What did surprise him was when, a week later, he came home from school and found a package waiting for him when he checked the mail. It was a tube and the return address was in Los Angeles. When he opened it, he found a signed poster of Gar as Beast Boy, along with a note.

'Thanks for helping a guy out. Look me up if you're ever in LA. --Gar'

The poster gets framed and hung on Dick's wall. The note goes into Dick's memory box with an old Haley's flier, a photo of his parents, and the handful of photos he's accumulated living here with Bruce. He sort of wishes he had a picture with Gar, but the poster's good.

And anyway, Dick's pretty sure he can wrangle a campus visit to USC before the semester's over.
