Booster has a public apology to make.

[capes_are_passe]

So, I get that this is really more a place to apologize to you, writer. Person. _{That's still really weird.}

And technically it's against the rules to talk to the other-dimensional...writers, or whatever they are, but this is getting pretty tense. It is totally time to clear the air, everybody.

So, uh...[He clears his throat and scrubs the back of his cowl.]

Just so we're all clear, first and foremost.


I did not mean to step on that lizard.






TOTALLY unintentional.




I had no idea that it would uh...have such...rippling-- [He sort of winces in the same way a teenager winces after crashing his dad's BMW into a cop-car.] --consequences.


_{And did it ever...I don't even know where to--okay, everyone's staring now. Get it together, Booster.}


So...Starfire? My bad. Harley...well actually you're life has improved, sort of. The fashion sense is about the same, bu--wait, back on topic. I guess...somehow, crushing a prehistoric lizard made Alan Scott gay? I'm still not quite 100% on why this is a thing in your time, but, better safe than sorry. G.L. bros, sorry I made your...uh...predecessor? Predecessor guy into a homosexual.

I guess that could get awkward, maybe.... At least it wasn't Supes! Right?

...right?


[He clears his throat again.]

But hey! Sinestro and Hal are getting along! Sort of. ...That's good...right?

[Awkward shuffling.]

I have no idea why there's going to be more data on the Watchmen--I seriously thought they were all dead, so...that was a revelation.



And, uh, also: Mr. Freeze, man, sorry about that...wife...thing.

That whole situation is pretty harsh.



All in all, just a big ol', My Bad. Mun person...assorted writers...and also their characters.


So.




Whoops?

You will pay for this.

I will freeze you slowly and I will watch as you feel the prickling pain of your body giving way to death. You will beg me to end you.

[He has pretty strong feels about this, okay.]

[venusguytrap]

Oh chill out, Freeze.

[A beat.]

Though really, I am so sorry for that.

I fear you'll be intolerable, now.

1/2

[capes_are_passe]

[venusguytrap]

So somehow you stepping on a lizard gave me more clothing?

Really Booster. One might think you're an egomaniac, thinking you caused this.

[capes_are_passe]

Hey, Rip flipped out and Skeets started talking in an unintelligible growly voice the minute I got back. Don't get me wrong, I really, really like me--who wouldn't? Just look at these gold pan--nevermind.

I'm just saying: this cannot be a coincidence.

I think I might have stepped on the last of the...plot device lizards, or something.


Maybe it evolved into a CEO with morals, whatever. Point is--wait. You got more clothing?

[He sighs heavily and turns back to address everyone, on whole.]

MY BAD. Seriously. My bad! But now we have Skyfi--oh. Too soon? It's probably too soon.

[alwaysataclimax]

This is why you leave the time-travelin' to the professionals, guy.

[Shut up, Momotaros, you are the furthest thing from professional.]

[capes_are_passe]

Hey, I'm the original professional! I just...didn't look before I got out of the time-sphere.

It was an honest mistake!

[Nice armor though, man. Booster can appreciate some awesome fashion sense. Gold spandex and popped collars? Never a bad decision.]

[greenteengenius]

And they call me a supervillain.

[capes_are_passe]

[Oh peas and rice. What did he change with this guy? Tell him this wasn't like...Robin or somebody.]

What did they call you before?

[escarabajo]

Hang on a second. So, this entire "New 52" alternate dimension was created because you screwed up? I accidentally killed my best friend, who got resurrected by space bugs which in turn caused him to get turned into my mortal enemy, slapped my other best friend, ran away from home, stole a bunch of money, and did a whole bunch of other really dumb and dangerous stuff--

All because you couldn't watch your freaking step?!

Haven't you ever watched Back to the Future?! It's the butterfly effect! They wrote me out of character and now I'm getting canceled again, Booster! This sucks!

[capes_are_passe]

Hey--Little Beetle, man...Sorry about that.

[So awkward. He's just gonna shuffle a bit.]

At least they...wrote you in? They straight up retconned Ted...near as I can figure, at least.


Unless he's lost in the time-stream again, or something.




Oh, right.

Canceled.

And all that other awkward...slapping...stuff.


Uh...yeah. Whoops?

[flunkingspanish]

Dude, that was not me. The guy they were trying to pass off as me was wearing pants. I WILL BE OVER HERE, FOUNDING MY PANTSLESS SOCIETY.

Booster isn't invited until he Ctrl-Z's that lizard crushing, obviously.

[crownless]

Shit, man. You fucked up.

[He's just glad it isn't his fault.]

[capes_are_passe]

Tell me about it.

[Face + Palm.]

You know how hard it is to go back and un-crush a lizard? They don't just pop back up.

[squeak_squeaker]

...you stepped on a baby lizard? [Kronk's brain added the 'baby' part all by itself.]

W-why?

[capes_are_passe]

...Because I tripped?


And it was pretty tiny. Like. Really, really small. [See the distance between his fingers? Like that.]

[8x10s_on_request]

Also? You made us Canadian.

Keywords.

[capes_are_passe]

[impulsive]

... And I thought I did stupid things sometimes.

[law_number_one]

As amusing as my writer finds your apology, I have doubts this was your fault at all.

[thesavagehawkdude]

...A lizard?

[danarella34]

Nice job, twinkletoes.

[EVERYBODY POINT AND LAUGH AT BOOSTER.

...Says the woman who fucks up temporal continuity every six months or so.]

[cheerupemoborg]

So you're the reason I may never appear again, or at least not for many more years to come?

Guess I'll have to return the favor.

[wholenewstory]

Distracted Steph and Babs.

Running would be good.

[hypocriteonjl]

Surely not everything is your fault. [Tell him you get him killed, Booster. Tell him.]
