GOD they would absolutely do that, James is so bad at not taking the bait on stupid bets. he would 100% try climbing over a barbed wire fence. (He'd probably be good at it too, thanks retrospec for the sick acrobat skills and also the metal arm that can't be barbed, nothing can keep him from this stupidity)

i can't believe that in retconning this friendship into being, james's antagonizing of dave suddenly shoots up to "literally all the time forever"

also thanks dirk but he is firmly keeping his ass planted behind bars, no nail file escapes for him!!! you don't understand dirk he has to be here, save yourself and stop seeing him, HE'S A MONSTER (no, he's just an angstbucket. full on emo teen angstbucket.)
