A Wild DCnU Zee Appears. Literally.

[yddad_seussi]

 ...I'm guessing you're not going to take "no" for an answer either?

[leftthenest]

It's pretty unlikely, sorry.

[yddad_seussi]

There's no reason for you to be sorry, Nightwing. You're hardly to blame for my current state.

[leftthenest]

I know. I'm sorry that I can't help, is what I meant.

But, hey, if misery loves company, you have a lot of company.

[yddad_seussi]

My kind of company usually brings misery.

[She almost sighs wistfully, then realizes what she said and catches herself. Offers an apologetic smile.]

Sorry. I didn't mean you.

[leftthenest]

No problem. Maybe you just need better company.

[yddad_seussi]

Don't I know it.

[leftthenest]

Any reason why you can't seem to find it?

[yddad_seussi]

Bad luck, I suppose. Or bad tastes. Maybe even both.

[leftthenest]

I'd say look me up, but I'm not sure what I'm like where you're from. I could be a total jerk for all I know.

[yddad_seussi]

You don't seem like much of a jerk to me. I can't imagine the Nightwing in my world being that much different.

[leftthenest]

You never know. I've met some versions of me who are rather... different. Not necessarily jerks just... not entirely me.

[yddad_seussi]

[She genuinely interested in this fact]

How so?

[leftthenest]

Some of them led different lives, had vastly different upbringings. The way things go during certain key moments of my life seems to determine how my personality develops. I mean, it's so obvious but I never really appreciated it before.

[yddad_seussi]

Hmm.

I've always wondered what my life would be like in another place. Another time. Another world, even.

[leftthenest]

Well, you do exist in my world. I'm not sure how different your lives are, though, to be honest.

[yddad_seussi]

That depends.

Do you know anything about my life there?

[leftthenest]

Yeah. We've been close since you joined the Team. [Also dating.]

[yddad_seussi]

[This catches her by surprise]

We have?

Wait, which Team exactly are you referring to?

[leftthenest]

The Team. The one that works with the League.

[yddad_seussi]

Where I come from, that could mean so many different groups.

[leftthenest]

Where I come from, there's only one. So that's a big difference. You're part of the League now, though.

[yddad_seussi]

I'm part of some League. Though I'd hardly call us much of a team.

[leftthenest]

There's more than one League?

[yddad_seussi]

What was it she called us? Justice League Dark?

Fitting name for a bunch of misfits like us.

[leftthenest]

Misfits? You're not a misfit, Zee-- Zatanna.
