[Downgrade indeed; Dick had resented it from the start, thrown a veritable tantrum when he'd gotten back to his room after hearing the news. On top of being thrown into the hands of a new-old mentor and the changes with his age, and he'd been sour ever since, though he kept it to himself.
But he didn't wanna trust Damian's dumb plan because it was probably stupid and dumb and he didn't want his stupid dumb brother to get hurt because of his mission, his mission that he had absolutely been handling until someone had to come in and stomp all over it, god of Apokolips or not.
But Damian wasn't totally stupid and dumb and of course Dick trusted him, he always did, even if it looked so dumb and stupid, and it's a moment before he replies, but--]
Fine!
[Spat out like he had lost some domestic argument. Fine, I'll do my homework, Fine I'll take out the trash, Fine I'll get down from the ceiling.]
But if you're not behind me I'm not going to your funeral!
[Still spitting venom like he was Poison Ivy, but this time he grudgingly obeys-- if only because there was no time to argue, at the very least, and Damian was more stubborn and Bruce. So this time he picks up his heels and makes a dash for the portal out.]
