I do. Plenty of them.
Your Robin's identity is already compromised, which you didn't seem to know. If Kirk Langstrom is even a half competent Batman, then he's likely already figured out who the rest of us are.
Or he could have simply had his Superman do it for him.
You are not as prepared as you think you are.

( it isn't particularly serious, but it isn't something small, either. bruce gives him a location, which damian sees as permission enough to show up. there's the sound of sneakers hitting the ledge below the window, before damian dislodges any security measures set up to prevent break in robins, and slides the window open so he can let himself in. he isn't in his robin gear, but a boy wearing jeans and a hoodie bursting through the window probably isn't all too odd for those staying in the apartments; accelerator and laura are staying in the same building, after all.
once he's got his feet inside the building, damian shoves the hood off of his head with a huff, and pulls a full-grown tuxedo cat out of his shirt, too.
because clearly he needed to show up with a friend for ace. the cat yowls and begins sauntering through the apartment like he owns it, while damian - makes his way to the kitchen. he'll get to the reason behind his visit in a minute. )

[ Bruce was never under any illusions that his location would stay secret for long. While the other Bruce had been the only person he ever confirmed an apartment number with, he had no doubts the other Bats had likely worked out which one he was set up in, probably in a matter of days after his initial arrival.
So he isn't alarmed when the window opens and Damian drops inside. Ace is alert, until he spots Damian and the yowling cat he produces from his hoodie. The cat keeps him from laying back down.
The apartment is dark, save for a table lamp in the corner with the recliner and another small lamp on the table where Bruce works. The kitchen is sparse. There's a coffee maker on the counter and a bit of food and tea in the cabinets, but the fridge is mostly empty. ]
Did you have to bring your cat?

Alfred enjoys getting out of the house when able.
( so, yes, he did need to bring the cat. who seems entirely unbothered by the presence of ace, especially given how many other animals alfred the cat has gotten used to over the last few years.
the coffee doesn't interest him, given how bitter it is. damian searches through the tea and - wrinkles his nose when he doesn't find what he's actually looking for, but he'll put some water into a pot and turn on the stove to bring it to a boil regardless. )
I wanted to ask for your opinion on something.

[ The cat's name gets a reaction out of Bruce, muted as it is. He glances back to get a look at it before turning back to his work. It's nothing fancy. Just bending scraps of metal into workable batarangs. He doesn't have the grip strength to make them look nice, but they're serviceable. At least until he can ask the AI for some from home. ]
What is it?

( while the water boils, damian pulls out a mug and a herbal tea bag, setting them on the counter for now while he - turns his attention to bruce. )
Someone here has a dangerous gemstone they're using to power a gun. A gun which, with this power source, can dissolve someone into mere particles. If that isn't dangerous enough, the person who had previous custody of it does not want to bring any more of these into existence in Etraya, but wants to experiment with the gemstone that already exists planet-side. Yet the girl who currently has it has been described as "on a crazy amount of drugs" and the person who originally had possession of it is afraid to confront her due to her fighting capabilities.
How would you address this potential threat?

[ That...is enough to make Bruce stop his work and turn to look at Damian completely. The context is limited. Bruce would have to comb the network so he might piece together a clearer picture of what Damian is talking about.
But, simply based on this alone? ]
Find it. Disable it. Put the gemstone out of reach of either parties. If the gun's original owner cannot get it back himself because he is afraid then he can't be trusted to keep the gemstone safe.
[ Simple. And yet...]
I'm sure you already knew what my answer would be. Why are you really asking me this?
