[Dick has been avoiding having this conversation for a long time -- almost as long as things have been settled with the League and the Court of Owls. he's been telling himself he's been trying to give the others time, give himself time as he settles into his role at Wayne Enterprises, but deep down, he knows none of that is true. not entirely, anyway. maybe there are elements, like how this will make them all face their grief whether they're ready to or not, but it's going to be a hard conversation and one he's going to have to have more than once. he needs to pick everyone's brains separately, at least to start. they can have a roundtable about it later. that will be easier]

[for now, though -- well, it is now. it has to be before he talks himself out of it]

[that in mind and some night late, just as he's about to head back to the Belfry for the night, he touches his fingers to the comm at his ear]
Hey, Red, you still out?

[he needs Jason on board before he talks to anyone else]

[it starts much the same as it did with Matt -- Dick enters Stark Tower in civilian clothes, under the guise of business. in one of his better suits, he carries a briefcase with the Nightwing suit in it, something Lucius cooked up for Bruce ages ago making sure his kit doesn't ping on the X-Ray machine where carbon fiber and Kevlar don't show up on the metal detector to begin with. he doesn't bother with his badge, even though it's in his wallet. he's not here as Dick Grayson, Bludhaven police, he's here as Dick Grayson kind of-sort of heir to Wayne Enterprises]

[(Lucius has been generous or cruel enough to let him have Bruce's seat on the Board of Directors, in recent months)]

[not that it particularly matters for long, however, as once he's through security, he heads for the reception desk to ask after the bathroom. then he's here as Nightwing, ready to climb the elevator shaft up to the penthouse like the right of passage he's heard it is for street level Capes]

[leaving his clothing hidden, he sneaks into the elevator through a maintenance shaft. he takes a moment then, looking up the shaft as he stretches, the elevator somewhere high above him, lost in to the dark and the distance even with the lenses in the mask, and after a beat, he starts:]
Hey, computer guy? I'm Nightwing, I'm a friend of Hawkeye's, from Gotham, and I'd really appreciate it if you didn't drop the elevator on me while I'm doing this.

[apparently, he at least knows JARVIS exists, even if he doesn't remember his name. either that or he's just assuming, based on some of the defenses Bruce had on the Batcave. either way, though]
