            “ just felix .  ” he nodded in reply , lips curled upwards into the warmest of smiles .  it seemed almost baffling how a man such as felix could even be in this line of work considering his view and way of life .  “ you’re too kind .  and i thought now was a better than ever .  besides..  i would prefer if others refer to me as who i am .  calling me ‘neumann’ feels impractical .  ”  

@roguestech  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀“   felix.  ”ㅤㅤ‎he   tested   the   name   on   his   tongue,   a   tinge   of   would   could   be   described   as   a   JERSEY   accent   coming   with   it.ㅤㅤ‎“   i   like   it.   (  ..  )   didn't   think   we   were   at   the   exchanging   names   phase   yet.  ”ㅤㅤ‎he   joked.

@FELlNED 
            
            that managed to at least get a soft low chuckle from the german , felix would be lying if he said he hadn’t missed them entirely .  “ something to that extent  ,  ja .  and please..  you’re more than welcome to just call me felix .  ” 

@decipher-  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀“    no   prevention   methods?   why   would—-   y'know   what.   i'm   not   having   this   conversation   with   YOU.   what   do   you   want   this   time?   ”ㅤㅤ‎he   groaned,   shifting   his   weight   from   one   foot   to   the   other.

his eyes narrowed  ,  an expression he quickly wiped away once it appeared. even though he still had a mask covering the bottom half of his face  ,  he had allowed his hood to fall. a rookie mistake  ,  one he was paying for now. "you take no prevention methods  ,  even after my departure. everything remains as it was. you are a thief and yet your security is laughable." even if certain aspects   /  had  /   been impressive. that was overshadowed by the fact that it remained the same. "if you knew what battles to pick  ,  you should take action to avoid them when necessary."

@decipher-  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀atlas   let   out   a   hollow   laugh—-   more   out   of   disbelief   than   genuine   humor.ㅤㅤ‎“    are   you   insinuating   that   kicking   you   out   would've   been   safer   than   allowing   you   in?   (  ..  )   i   know   my   skills.   i   know   what   battles   to   pick.   ”ㅤㅤ‎he   shrugged   it   off,   thinking   it   should've   been   obvious.

@oneiric-  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀“   i   couldn't   care   less,   really,   BUT   as   long   as   it   is   no   longer   in   COBBLEPOT'S   hands,   i'll   bite.  ”

"long story short  ,  this is an artifact and we made it  —  or well  ...  past us." according to somnis ,  that is. "if it gets into the wrong hands  ,  the world could like  ...  explode. you don't want the world to explode  ,  right?"

@oneiric-  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀“    uh—-   yeah.   you're   here   to   take   it   back?   ”ㅤㅤ‎atlas   tilted   his   head,   looking   the   other   up   and   down.

@-hoodsreborn  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀“    why   wouldn't   they?   you're   warm   and   pet   them.   they   don't   ask   for   much   more.   ”ㅤㅤ‎he   chuckled   and   pet   chainsaw   too,   loving   her   excited   rumblings   in   her   throat.   they   sounded   much   more   feisty   than   she   meant   them.

@FELlNED 
            
            jason chuckled softly , looking down to see chainsaw biting his pants .   well the cats were probably used to him at this point , he came around here enough now .   he reached down, picking up chainsaw and held the cat in his arms .   " i'm a little surprised they like me .   but i'm not going to complain . "   he petted the cat in his arms , smiling as he looked at the other cats around him .

@-hoodsreborn  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀atlas   looked   up   from   his   current   task,   which   happened   to   be   fixing   up   his   clawed   gloves,   to   see   the   cats   roam   around   the   vigilante.   chainsaw   was   clearly   very   ecstatic   to   see   him,   if   judging   only   off   of   the   fact   the   cat   was   biting   at   jason's   pants.   a   soft   smile   would   show   at   his   lips   as   he   eyed   the   small   group,   chuckling   softly.   he   set   the   gloves   aside,   quirking   a   brow   up.ㅤㅤ‎“    / maybe /?   seems   they've   grown   attached.   ”ㅤㅤ‎he   hummed,   making   his   way   over   to   them.

@hertcxins  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀he   shrugged,   looking   back   to   lav.ㅤㅤ‎“    it   can   be.   as   it's   falling   and   no   footsteps   or   cars   have   run   through   it—-   it   is.   the   beauty   doesn't   last   long.   but   it's   there.   ”

  (a bright smile tugged at lavender's lips,  leaning back into her hands.)   is snow this pretty?   i've never seen it myself.

@hertcxins  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀“    unbelievable.   ”ㅤㅤ‎he   agreed,   looking   up   at   the   sky.   the   colors,   vibrant   and   eye-catching,   caused   him   to   grin   subtly.   it   was   rare   that   he   caught   himself   outwardly   expressing   such   enthusiasm,   but   around   lav   it   was   SLIGHTLY   less   rare.

@-hoodsreborn  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀jason   would   be   right   not   to   believe   him.   in   a   city   like   gotham,   it   was   easy   to   felt   ISOLATED   in   a   city   so   devoid   of   warmth   and   connection.   he   hugged   himself   a   little   tighter,   something   only   someone   with   a   trained   eye   would   catch,   but   looked   over   at   him.ㅤㅤ‎“    nothing   you   can   fix,   red.   ”ㅤㅤ‎he   replied   softly,   offering   the   other   a   small   smile.   he'd   been   feeling   so   out   of   place.   so..   empty.   he   didn't   have   a   grand   goal   for   himself.   and   it   became   increasingly   obvious   he   craved   one.

@FELlNED 
            
            jason frowned , looking over at him .   he wasn't quite sure if he believed him .   " are you sure it's nothing ? "   he asked .   but he didn't make any moves to approach him , staying put where he was after seeing the other's palm .   so he stayed put , looking over at atlas .

@-hoodsreborn  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀with   an   incredulous   look   on   his   face,   atlas   would   put   his   palm   up   as   though   to   say   STOP.   accepting   something   like   a   hug   was   new   territory.   especially   with   jason.   it   was   not   teasing   or   lighthearted—-   it   was   to   COMFORT   him.   which   made   it   foreign   territory.ㅤㅤ‎“    no.   thanks.   ”ㅤㅤ‎he   crossed   his   arms   over   himself.ㅤㅤ‎“    it's   nothing,   really.   ”

@-hoodsreborn **

@-hoodsreborn  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀atlas   sat   perched   on   top   of   the   back   of   the   couch.   he   often   sat   like   that   alone,   but   he'd   grown   comfortable   enough   with   jason   to   do   it   in   front   of   him   as   well.   a   small   mercy   in   the   midst   of   whatever   heavy   emotions   were   about   to   spill.ㅤㅤ‎"  the   city   officials   like   to   THINK   they're   helping.   they   never   stop   to   really   give   a   crap   unless   it   effects   their   pockets.   or   LIFE.  "   he   hummed,   watching   jason   from   above.   he   didn't   really   care   about   arkham,   but   he   hadn't   sworn   himself   to   PROTECTING   this   city   either   so..   he   was   doing   his   best   to   empathize.   the   closest   he   got   was   borderline   sympathy.   he   couldn't   imagine   how   much   it   sucked   to   put   someone   away   only   to   see   them   a   few   weeks   later,   wrecking   the   same   havoc   as   before   like   it   had   all   been   FUTILE.   if   anything,   it   only   further   proved   to   the   cat   that   looking   out   for   yourself   was   the   best   way   to   go   about   things.   but   this   was   seemingly   NOT   the   time   to   mention   that.

@decipher-  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀the   long   bout   of   silence   had   atlas   furrowing   his   brows   into   a   look   of   discomfort.   was   water   that   big   of   a   question?   it   wasn't   like   he   asked   for   his   hand   in   marriage.   then   again,   customs   of   the   league   were   not   something   he   could   call   on   for   reference   at   this   moment.ㅤㅤ‎“    alright.   ”ㅤㅤ‎he   hummed.   the   apartment   wasn't   very   big,   taking   only   a   few   minutes   at   maximum   to   grab   him   said   glass   of   water.   when   he   returned,   he   couldn't   help   but   smile   slightly   at   the   sight   of   his   curious   cats.ㅤㅤ‎“    here.   ”ㅤㅤ‎he   handed   it   to   the   other.

@FELINED
            
            his thoughts immediately ran to the thought of poison. it would be a quick and sure way to be rid of him. with narrowed eyes he assessed the other  —  eventually giving a small nod of confirmation. most poisons were detectable and he had been especially trained to resist the ones that weren't. there was little risk. "that would be acceptable." as he spoke he toed out of the way of the still curious cat  ,  mindful to listen to the rule set in place  ,  keeping from touching the feline. listening to orders was something he could do  —  he was made for it. this was a small price to pay.

@decipher-  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀a   grimace   would   cast   over   his   face   briefly.   the   more   he   learned   about   the   league,   the   more   he   realized   all   of   it   had   been   against   his   will.   knowledge   was   power   but   in   this   instance,   he'd   prefer   the   bliss   of   ignorance   if   he   was   being   honest.ㅤㅤ‎“    RIGHT.   OF   COURSE   THEY   DO.   ”ㅤㅤ‎he   sighed,   feeling   a   little   more   helpless   than   he'd   like   to.ㅤㅤ‎“    UH..   DO   YOU   WANT   WATER   OR   SOMETHING?   ”ㅤㅤ‎hopefully   to   get   both   of   their   minds   OFF   of   harming   the   sweet   felines   that   roamed   about.

@-hoodsreborn  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀he   hummed   in   appreciation.   atlas   had   honestly   just   wanted   to   try   it   on,   see   what   the   other   wore   out   and   about.   jason   seeing   him   was   actually   / not /   part   of   the   plan.   it   turned   out   to   be   a   pleasant   surprise   though.   "  knew   you   would.  "   he   grinned.ㅤㅤ‎GOOSEBUMPS   erupted   beneath   the   jacket   when   jason   wrapped   his   arms   around   him.   there   was   something   about   the   simplicity   and   lack   of   hesitation   that   had   his   heart   skipping   a   few   beats.   "  just   a   tad.  "   he   noted,   looking   at   the   arms   for   a   few   seconds.

@FELlNED 
            
            jason chuckled softly , slowly wrapping his arms around him .   he took a closer look , grinning .   " i like it . "   he paused .   " though the jacket is a little big now that i think about it . "   he teased .

@-hoodsreborn  ⠀⠀⠀╱⠀⠀⠀"  okay   that   is   not   the   compliment   you   think   it   is.  "   he   laughed,   looking   down   at   the   jacket.   it   was   a   tad   large   in   the   arm   areas   especially.   "  you   don't   like   it?  "
