"About me? You mean my father?" Edward snorted, because the idea of his father as a scientist was inherently funny for so many reasons. "With him, I'm prepared to give him standing ovations should he ever manage to string together three coherent sentences. He's a few steps below on the evolutional ladder, if you follow me. Despite your lack of education where evolution is concerned."
"I understand the principles of evolution." Jonathan felt the need to point out, not wanting to seem like some idiotic zealot. He didn't care for what they taught, he had his own resources. "I read all of my father's books. He loves books, we have a lot of them. I know everything I need to know about science. I didn't read the other stuff, it's not as fun."
Though he did have a special place in his heart for Sleepy Hollow. "The best thing about my old man is all the books he owns. Books are my favourite thing."
"Books are a grand thing. I don't own any, but I love the library." Huh. He grinned at Jonathan. "I'll take you there, Jon-boy, this time I have a lot more to promise. For some boy from a hick town, I imagine the Gotham City Library would be quite impressive, since you are smart enough to appreciate books."
It was the place he had gotten the most knowledge from for sure. He had learned reading their originally, when he'd been a lot younger, now he was teaching himself a lot about computers. The library was his true refuge. He wondered whether Jonathan could truly understand that.
"I would very much like to do that, Edward. Thank you, I appreciate the offer." Jonathan very nearly almost sorta smiled at Edward, feeling good about something for the first time since he moved. So maybe Gotham wasn't the worst. He might have friends, an easy to access library and a place to go to get away from his father - it wasn't all entirely negative after all.
"I'm free almost any time, school aside." He didn't exactly have a social life. "Whenever you are ready, I am too."

With a shrug, he summarised. "He's an ape."
