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!

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?

[backwordscompatible]

Just a bit. But hey, I get it.

I can't imagine what it would be like to find out so much about your future...well, sort of.

[hackingyoursensors]

It wasn't easy. I'm starting to accept it though.

And on the upside, it seems like I have some pretty good friends in the future.

[backwordscompatible]

I'm glad things are working out for you.

[hackingyoursensors]

Thanks. And don't worry-- from what I can tell, my future costume doesn't have a ridiculous collar or feathers, so I won't be needing that intervention.

I hope you're doing okay where you are. How's the rest of the team doing, too?

[backwordscompatible]

Pretty alright.

...Wally and Artemis are dating now.

[hackingyoursensors]

I'm completely shocked.

Seriously, though, took them long enough. It was starting to get awkward.

[backwordscompatible]

[You have no idea]

They're not the only ones, though.

[hackingyoursensors]

[GJ, Dick, you're an ace detective.]

...oh. [Awkwardly:] S-sounds like everyone's doing fine.

[backwordscompatible]

[She loves it when he gets that awkward look on his face.]

Pretty asterous, if you ask me.

...you know, aside from the recent canon updating to a certain episode. That wasn't so fine.

[hackingyoursensors]

[Good, because it's not going anywhere]

Yeah. [Clears his throat] Totally feeling the aster over here.

...that bad?

[backwordscompatible]

Yeah, that bad.

[But she takes a deep breath and goes back to enjoying the awkward like only she could]

You were one of the first people I saw when I got back, though. So that helped.

[hackingyoursensors]

I'm glad I could help. Though I guess that would be "I", since it's not really me.

Whatever happens, you know I'll-- one of I...one of me-- anyway, Robin will always be there for you.

[backwordscompatible]

Close enough.

And thanks. Whether it's you or "you", I really appreciate it.

[hackingyoursensors]

No problem. I'm happy to help.

[backwordscompatible]

That goes both ways.

You know...just so you know.

[hackingyoursensors]

[Warm smile:] Thanks. I really mean it.
