Dick doesn't seem to think that "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is a masterpiece.

"I tag best when I listen to cheesy music." I'm not sure if I should be offended or not. And please don't tell me you're putting Nyancat on this one too. Just because you assume that I troll my friends by setting their homepages to the Nyancat site and cranking the volume to max.

By the way, using Rick Astley? Totally cheating.

Wait, why are you digging through 80s music? I-I think I might be allergic to keytars. Hey! Hey!

I think it's a requirement for villains to take Bad Comebacks 101.

We just have bad luck coming at us from all sides, don't we?

[backwordscompatible]

Don't know about you, but this is why I try to make my own luck.

[hackingyoursensors]

Fair point. But I don't think any amount of luck, from the universe or self-made, can save us from our muns.

[backwordscompatible]

Probably not.

At least mine likes me; she put me in a fun game with pretty much the whole team.

[hackingyoursensors]

Lucky. The game I'm in is pretty fun, but I'm all alone. And the whole space-time-alternate-dimensions thing is getting to be a little much.

[backwordscompatible]

Outer Space, visiting planets, Improbable events happening roughly once a month. It's certainly never boring.

You meeting people who know another 'you' over there too?

[hackingyoursensors]

And here I just got a prison under the sea. A really nice prison, but still a prison. Space sounds like more fun.

Oh yeah. Apparently I have "successors." Still not sure how I feel about that.

[backwordscompatible]

I heard about that. Even met one of them.

[That week she was parading around the ship in his mask and cape. Long story.]

[hackingyoursensors]

Was it the one in green tights? Kinda paranoid? [Sorry, Tim]

[backwordscompatible]

Nope.

The one with the long, blonde hair and absolutely wicked sense of humor. [She would get along with Steph]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Because Steph is awesome.]

I met someone kind of like that, but she said she was Batgirl.

[backwordscompatible]

That was after Batman fired her, apparently.

[hackingyoursensors]

Fired?

[backwordscompatible]

[Shrug]

I didn't really ask for too many details.

It sounded complicated.

[hackingyoursensors]

[Sighs] Yeah, it sounds like things get really complicated really fast. Not looking forward to it, honestly.

[backwordscompatible]

You gonna be okay?

[Especially without the rest of the team]

[And, yes, that might be a hint of genuine concern you hear in her voice]

[hackingyoursensors]

Oh. Yeah, yeah I'll be fine. There's no point in worrying about it; none of it might even happen in our dimension.

[In spite of the reassuring smile, his declaration sounds a little forced.]

[backwordscompatible]

That's true.

I mean, in her world, you and I didn't even meet the same way. In fact, it sounded like I was older than you. By a lot.

[hackingyoursensors]

Seriously? Weird.

I met a version of Red Arrow that was totally different from the one we know. It was actually a little awkward.

[backwordscompatible]

I know.

I only barely know him myself, but I can imagine that would be.

[hackingyoursensors]

Yeah, especially since he was the one who dropped most of the futurebombs on me.

[backwordscompatible]

There must've been some good news, at least? ...maybe?

[hackingyoursensors]

Um, well, I stopped being Robin because I wanted to. And I'm still alive.

[Yeah, he's kinda digging for good points.]

[backwordscompatible]

I'd consider those pretty optimistic. Especially the second one.

[Not thinking about you dying. Not thinking about you dying. Nope.]

[hackingyoursensors]

Yeah, sorry, that was kind of grim, wasn't it?
