Maybe going somewhere

[firstlanternsson]

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.

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

Were there really zombies?

[imaginate]

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

[firstlanternsson]

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

[imaginate]

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.

[firstlanternsson]

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

[imaginate]

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

[firstlanternsson]

Just great. I hope you're right about mine being fine if I do end up going there. [He really doesn't want to think about anything like his powers not being under his total control again.]
