[Wow, Damian, tell us how you really feel?? There's so much in Damian's descriptions of the other heroes that Izuku has to take a moment to just let it all sink in.]
Batman, Batwoman, Batgirl... Robin and Red Robin. [He murmurs those names to himself.] It sounds like there's a naming theme going on in here, especially for the first three.
That last one, though. Batgirl. It sounds like you really respect her. [Even if Izuku hasn't known Damian for very long, he has a feeling that level of praise is rare for him.] She must be amazing. What does she specialize in? [Since Damian had mentioned technology before.]
oh... i janked my timelines bc comics are suffering rip me
[There's a whole mess of other things he could tell Izuku, but it'd just complicate everything, and he thinks, right now, they aren't important. Like Stephanie Brown. Like Barbara Gordon. Like Duke Thomas. Like Jason Todd.] She...
[He looks away, not in embarrassment necessarily, but in uncertainty. It's not the time or his place to talk about Cassandra. And yet, he doesn't want her legend to be unheard. She deserves better than that.] She goes by Orphan. She had the same training I did.
Some people thought they could use her as a tool, but she proved them wrong. She's an expert at stealth and combat. She could win a hand-to-hand fight against Batman.
Orphan... [Izuku's eager expression flickers again.] That kind of name sounds lonely. [He wonders if she had something to prove when she chose it, the way he did when he stuck with "Deku" in the end.]
So she's skilled enough to best a pro like Batman--that's really impressive! And...I'm glad for her, that she isn't letting anyone use her like that.
