Also stop being fond of how much he likes the country sky. Leave him alone.]
They might be about the same.
[He leans back some on his hands so he can see farther up.]
Not sure how much I like how small this makes all of us seem. You know what’s wild? Theoretical physics. That some of those stars are so far out, you have to travel at the speed of light and even then you still couldn’t reach them for however many light years.
And if you travel that fast, if you skip time and go through a wormhole, you don’t age as fast as the people you leave behind since they aren’t moving through time as quickly. So if I left and came back, you’d be an old man, and I’d be maybe thirty.
[ you know what's funny about being in sync. that Jason can tell he is both intrigued and also baffled by this turn into jock nerditude. none of that is stuff that's up cloud's array of knowledge he has not even met cid yet, but it's... interesting. he does think that.
he also has the unfortunate fleeting thought of not like I'm making it to be an old man. don't acknowledge that. ]
... I forgot you've got space travel at your place.
[Why does Cloud have to be this way? He really kills the everything with that last little thought, and normally Jason doesn’t pry because he hates when people pry with him too.
But he’s FOND of Cloud. So he looks over with a faltering expression. And, like, just says it.]
[ god damn it Jason Todd. Can't you just ignore thoughts!! cloud looks away awkwardly ]
... Accelerated cellular degradation is the most common cause of death in SOLDIERs. [ so. yes. the mako! (and also alien genes but he doesn't know that part)> ]
He frowns slowly. He is looking even if Cloud is looking away! Great, we’ve got a lich, a human, and an accelerated human. He doesn’t even know Lup is a lich exactly, I don’t think which is hysterical.]
Cloud… [He’s… Well, he doesn’t like it, but he can maybe accept it a bit easier than…] …Does Lup know?
I don't know. [ he shrugs a shoulder ] I quit, remember? But I doubt it's a big priority for Shinra.
[ there's the sync again where there's a level of unsure and confusion that should probably not be there talking about his past. it's fine. no more questions! ]
[Don't just change the subject, CLOUD. He wants to know more about your WEIRD SOLDIER HEALTH PROBLEMS maybe so he can fix them when he gets back to Gotham shut up don't look at him don't even talk to him. Anyway.
He sort of snorts.]
Kind of? Justice League--don't ask [said in that "you can ask if you want" kind of way]--has a space station in the planet's orbit. Called the Watchtower.
[Actually might be destroyed by Superboy, but I hate comics I'm not checking. The Watchtower can be there for this thread only.]

[A joke.]

If you think that’s wild, wait until you hear about the Legion of Doom. Three guesses who’s on that one, and the first two don’t count.

The Legion of... Doom. They willingly announce themselves as that? [ what kind of cartoon villainy is this ]
