Maybe going somewhere

You want to send me to a turtle? I wish I could say that would be the weirdest place I've ever been but it wouldn't be. From what I've learned of this place already, it looks like they could use the help. And not just the shadow-controlling kind. I may not be a therapist but I'll do what I can there.

I don't mind the lack of familiar faces either. Well, close familiar faces anyway. I'm not sure Kyle will be pleased to see me and I'll be avoiding Batman if I can help it, thanks. And I doubt Superman and Superboy even remember me but it doesn't matter. Of course I wouldn't mind if Jennie, Damon, Al, or Dad showed up there too. And don't get any crazy ideas about trying to find a Raven or Marcie to join up. I've seen you reading those old comics and that is one mess no one needs.

Wait. You haven't decided whether or not you're going to send me or someone else? Maybe that's something you should work on.

[He does have mixed feelings, but not for the reasons Todd might think. Still, he is guarded.] They're right about the help.

[Todd's guarded right now too.] How bad is it? The mun's only given me a brief run down and said there's a kid I might be able to help.

[Loaded question buddy.]

We don't know much of what's going on, but it's not worse than anything we haven't faced before.

Well, that's a relief to hear at least.

Were there really zombies?

Cross between zombies and vampires, if you want to be exact, but yeah.

Please tell me they didn't sparkle. You got through it alright, right?

They didn't, and we did. [He can't help the curtness - it's strange talking to Todd like this.] There's something on the turtle that messes with people's powers, but I think you'll be fine, if you do come.

Good. [Todd frowns.] It messes with powers? How do you mean?

Some stuff works, some stuff doesn't. No way to know beforehand.

I don't know, a turtle sounds like it might be pretty high up on the list of strange places.

It is pretty high up there but alien cities and other dimensions rank higher.

Really? [He smirks a little.] I figured alien cities would have been common for you. It's in the job description, after all.

They're still weirder than a giant turtle city.

I just don't know, man. I feel like if I showed up on an alien world, I'd be surprised but it's just another alien world. You know, if I was pulled on those kinds of missions often.

But a giant turtle just sounds ridiculous.

Well, keep in mind that my trips to alien worlds happened mostly before I was used to that sort of thing. Back when I was still new at this.

About as ridiculous as a giant talking panther or a man that turns into a shadow?

You know I don't think we're that ridiculous when stuff like Superman and Green Lanterns are pretty much the norm. [And he's taking a moment to light a cigarette.] Not to mention how many crazy threats we've dealt with.

But yeah, a giant turtle with a city on its back is pretty high on the ridiculous scale, and pretty close to us on the cuteness one too.

Superman and Green Lanterns are more ridiculous than us? [He smiles a bit.] Oh, the threats are on a whole other level of nuts.

[A brow is arched.] We're on a cuteness scale now?
