On being canon updated at a, uh, really interesting time.

[crockblocking]

So, you pick now of all times to do this? Seriously? Anyone ever tell you that your timing sucks?

Because it really does.

[She has to resist the urge herself. Because laughing at your own joke is just so not cool.]

It would, wouldn't it?

Bet he wouldn't even bring popcorn, either.

[allthesenors]

It's okay, you can show up with the popcorn and start to review the movie. Help snap me out of it and save the day.

[backwordscompatible]

And the day was saved thanks to talking through the movie.

Who'da guessed?

[allthesenors]

Now that's something we wouldn't want to get out. Otherwise, everyone who talks or texts through a movie will say they are doing it for great justice.

[backwordscompatible]

Exactly.

Besides, why let them have all the fun? Right?

[allthesenors]

Exactly. And with everything that's happened recently, we need to mix more fun into our pursuit for great justice.

[backwordscompatible]

[And here's where the moment turns slightly awkward, considering things that "happened recently"]

Umm...right. More fun. Justice. Yeah.

[allthesenors]

[He was thinking more along the lines of the world getting invaded, but yeah, he probably should have worded that differently.]

My mun's thinking of sending me to where you guys are. I'll help mix things up.

[There you go again, Robin. Saying things that can be interpreted in different ways.]

[backwordscompatible]

[There's also the part where she sorta doesn't know about that. Not having been part of the HIVEMIND and all.]

Honestly? I really would like to see you again.

We...never really got to talk much.

[allthesenors]

[gosh Zatanna, get with the program.]

[Might sound a little flustered.] Really? You would?

[Clears his throat and regains his composure.]

If I end up going there, we'll definitely make up for lost time.

[backwordscompatible]

[Hey, it's not her fault you were all mind-sharing with each other and not her. Again.]

Of course.

I mean...we're still friends, right?

[allthesenors]

[Nods.]

Right, but things might be a little awkward for a lot of reasons.

[backwordscompatible]

I kinda figured as much.

...sorry.

[allthesenors]

I just thought that...[Shakes his head.]

Never mind, you and KF hit it off. It happens.

[Though he doesn't sound thrilled about it.]

[backwordscompatible]

We were...I mean...we could've....

[Not that she regrets it. Not entirely; she really does like Wally...but...]

[Damn feelings.]

Never mind.

[allthesenors]

You and the other me didn't talk all that much, Wally and you have your whole science and magic thing. I get it.

[Seriously. He doesn't mean to sound snippy, but that's feelings for you.]

[backwordscompatible]

Right. You're mad. I get it, okay?

[And guess who doesn't mean to sound snippy right back, but...oh, you know the drill]

[allthesenors]

Look, I know it was just a brief thing but it was a thing all the same. Did you even say anything to Wally about it or were you too busy with your "debates"?

[One does not need to be the world's greatest detective's partner to know what those debates lead to.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Frown]

No, I didn't bring it up. You wanna know why?

Because when I first arrived on the ship, you had no idea who I was, let alone any memory of whatever it was we might've had. And you then proceeded to all but ignore me for the next few months. What'd you expect me to do, pine over you forever?

[allthesenors]

[Ah, logic. It's hard to argue with it. Sighs and this time when he speaks, it's without the snippiness. There's still annoyance, but it doesn't sound like it's directed at her.]

This whole not remembering anything is getting really annoying, really fast.

[backwordscompatible]

You're telling me.

...not gonna lie, it kinda hurt. Having nobody remember. You, especially, but...I mean, the only people who knew me were from some alternate dimension or something.

[allthesenors]

[Tentatively reaches over to place his hand on her shoulder.]

Hey, for what it's worth, if I go there I'll remember you. Once we get past the awkwardness, we can go and do stuff that'll get you grounded for forever and beyond.

[backwordscompatible]

[She lets him; it's been getting harder and harder to remember that she's supposed to have a "thing" with Wally now. If that even lasts at this rate]

You only get grounded if you get caught.

[allthesenors]

[Being a teenager is hard, with all of these complicated feelings and group dynamics. Once she doesn't pull away, he squeezes her shoulder in a reassuring manner.]

That move you pulled with creating all of the clones of yourself, that you usually use to sneak out? Way asterous.

[backwordscompatible]

[Her hand falls atop his in gratitude.]

Thanks.

It's one of my favorites.
