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.

Well... nobody enjoys being left...

Same prison as Zee?

[redheadedspeedster]

It's okay. I'll still have you and Zatanna there.

That would be the one.

[peckish4action]

That's something! Although with everybody's memories not matching, it must be a bit of an extra nightmare.

Wish I could help, somehow.

[backwordscompatible]

...at least we're pretty sure she'll be back?

[redheadedspeedster]

That part actually isn't too bad besides some awkward situations. It's just having that on top of everything else going on.

[Sigh] It's a lot to deal with at once.

[redheadedspeedster]

Yeah.

...are we allowed to be happy about that? [Not that he wants her in prison but he'd like to have her around.]

[backwordscompatible]

Robin and I decided it's okay, all things considered.

If we're gonna be trapped, might as well be trapped together.

[redheadedspeedster]

And it's not like we can do anything about it anyway.

So how are you enjoying all the "new arrivals"?

[backwordscompatible]

I think my brain short-circuited at one point.

[tactilekonesis]

Oh man, Bart's there? I'd apologize for the brain-breaking, but I feel like I'm a little too late for that.

[redheadedspeedster]

At least a you from an alternate universe hasn't shown up. [Yet.]

[redheadedspeedster]

Meeting Bart was actually pretty cool. The guy sure is hyper though.

[tactilekonesis]

He'll calm down in a year or so. Not a lot, but still better than him constantly being on some kind of sugar rush.

[backwordscompatible]

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.

[peckish4action]

You can do it, KF. I know you can.

[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?

[redheadedspeedster]

Thanks for the support, dude.

And the place isn't really that bad for a prison. There's free food and everything.

[redheadedspeedster]

Ah, he wasn't that bad. Then again, I don't think he had his super-speed at the time. [And if he was that hyper without it.]

[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.

[tactilekonesis]

He didn't? I didn't know your place had power limiters. [It'd make sense, considering it's a prison.] But I'm glad. Bart's a good kid.

[redheadedspeedster]

They give you a monitor that takes them away but it falls off after a day assuming you behave. [Seems kind of pointless to put one on in the first place.]

He mentioned that he thought he had one on, but it seems as if he was part of the group of people that showed up and disappeared the next day.

[peckish4action]

Got it. I'll be over here hoping it never gets bad.
