About his time so far at MarinaNova @ IJ

[redheadedspeedster]

Dude, anyone ever tell you that your timing stinks? Not only am I still adjusting to being stuck in an underwater prison for life and my friends not remembering as much as I do back home, but I've got the biggest headache ever because of this 4th wall event.

There's like a million Bat people running around, a cousin from an alternate universe, and a bunch of people from my future. It's completely bonkers there. Couldn't you have waited a month before sending me to this place?

And I'm not going to be moping around because a certain someone is leaving soon.

Don't jinx me.

[redheadedspeedster]

But, Zatanna, it's so much fun. You really have no idea what you're missing out on. [No sarcasm there.]

[backwordscompatible]

Oh, believe me, I know. And I'm not missing anything.

Though I am tired of people asking me why I'm so young. [Or short. Or flat, thank-you-for-that-Cassie]

[redheadedspeedster]

Aren't you suppose to be a close, personal friend to the Batman in that other universe? [At least you're taller than Dick.]

[backwordscompatible]

...because things just weren't weird enough already. [That's what she said!]

[redheadedspeedster]

Yeah, I find it weird that he's capable of having friends too.

It is kind of funny, though. You being a close friend of Batman in one world and a close friend to Robin in another.

[backwordscompatible]

[awk-ward]

I don't see what funny about it.

Batman and My Dad've always been somewhat close. So of course he and I would be friends in his world. And as for Robin, well...

[They just clicked, okay?]

[redheadedspeedster]

I guess you wouldn't find it funny.

As for Rob, I get it. I just hope you're not too upset with him about the Birdman thing.

[backwordscompatible]

[She sighs]

It's just...I thought we were over the whole 'keeping secrets' thing for a while. Especially after he told me...you know. [His name.] And especially-especially considering I have a right to know if there's some crazed villain who could come after one of my best friends at any moment.

[redheadedspeedster]

[He thinks that saying "He probably didn't want to worry you" wouldn't be helpful right now and that it would be best if he left the explanations to Rob himself.]

But at least we know now and can help him out if this guy tries something?

[backwordscompatible]

[She actually stops to take a deep breath first, before she can say anything she might regret later. Exhaling slowly, until her shoulders slump.]

...you have a point.

The fact that he told you in front of me means he wasn't deliberately trying to hide it from me, at least.
