I can't say I'm entirely happy with the way the world's been re-written either, but... hey, at least you've got company in Limbo Land.

... okay, I guess.

I never like changes... But I don't really like what happened to Robin and the others. It's weird.

[Okay, it's mostly because the Robin she grew to know and like now seems like a whole different person, but she feels she has a point this time and not just 'moping' around.]

You're telling me. I know Cass's been a rebel, but since when did she take cars out for joyrides?

[Greta definitely has a point! Ciss wouldn't agree with her otherwise... though to be fair, Cissie's pretty patient when it comes to listening about Robin.] Plus Bart can flirt? I'm not sure what they would've made us into, had we been there.

[Oh Cissie, she'd kiss you and launch to a rant how Red Robin isn't 'her' Robin but first--]

Bart... flirting? I mean, Cassie taking cars for joyrides still sounds like a stretch, but Bart can flirt?

[Bart's a great guy, but even she notices the speedster couldn't deliberately flirt if he tried.]

Apparently. I'm not sure where - or when - he realized pick-up lines were a thing, because he uses them a lot more often than I remembered.

[Bitter? Cissie? Of course not.] I know things're supposed to be different in alternate universes, but not that different.

[~~Remember that time Bedlam made a universe where you showed your cleavage and burned down a circus, Cissie.~~]

I don't know... Bart flirting just seems, well, really not like him? Um... he's very sweet, but even if he tried, I think Kon would've gone for the first punch.

[And which basically would end them having a scuffle like kids from either Bart putting his foot down or Bart ruining Kon's chances, which made her smile a bit at the thought.]

[~~Nope, because that universe doesn't exist. It's clearly a figment of their imagination, though she liked having cleavage that one time. If she acknowledged it existed.~~]

Exactly. Kon's easy to let down, once you know his game, but my-- but Bart wouldn't flirt. Not like Kon or his cousin would. It's like the universe merged him and his cousin together, and... I don't know. It doesn't really work for me.

[Limbo Land's getting kind of crowded, at the rate people're being written out of existence.]

[At least your demonic brother wasn't somehow the sanest of the group, which clearly stamps this as just bizarre dream anything. She was just playing tennis with Ray the whole time until Bart and Robin walked up to their base, yep.]

He doesn't really need to... he kinda has this charm that makes people genuinely like him without flirting, Right?

[She saw what you did there, girl.]

Edited 2013-03-15 01:53 (UTC)

[~~Exactly! Greta was just playing tennis and Cissie was just... well she wasn't burning down a circus, that's for sure.~~]

In his own way, yeah. He and Robin kind of have that magical ability. Ray too, now that I think about it.

[IF ONLY TRAYA HADN'T COCKBLOCKED HER... but really, she's just giving Kon a hard time. Had Cassie not been so obsessed with Kon, those pick-up lines might've held some weight.]

Hey, don't worry about it, Secret. You weren't the only one forgotten, and if you ask me they got the better end of the deal.

[There is a shaking of his head]

I mean, I get why someone would be excited with being a Leaguer and all, but that ain't me. I'm a Titan through and through. And the less said about the folks who used to be Young Justice, the better.

Especially Tim and his Swan King costume.

[Eyebrow quirk] Tim's costume wasn't that bad. It's... different, but the wing's were a nice touch?

And I know, it's just that-- they're my friends, and I thought we were all going to stick together even if well, the Young Justice disbanded. Or. Had disbanded, which is still better than never existing.

[Here, have a smile]

Just poking fun, nothing bad, Secret. And I know the feeling. I was a Titan through and through and apparently in that 'verse there never was a Titans. No Dick, Kory, Wally, Rae, or Donna together.

It's disappointing, but that's why we got places like here, right?

[A gasp of shock] But, everyone said that you guys started the whole superhero team of teens thing! That doesn't make any sense.

So none of you were friends before either?

No, Secret. Wally, Dick, and Donna were. They were in the first batch of Titans with Garth and Roy. I came along later, and I wasn't really feeling very heroic at the time.

[There's a sigh]

But that ain't the point now, because we became friends. We became damn good ones, at that. And even if the writers are gonna screw us over like that, there are always the memories.

Memories? They're changing or rewriting everything as they please without actually thinking about everyone else while we all just sit here and let everything we used to know change and soon long forgotten!

Edited 2013-03-14 14:45 (UTC)

I don't think that. Hope you don't mind the cliche, but things always look worse before they get better. Most of the folks I know are certain what's happening will fall flat on its face, and there's a lot of hints they are. Random cancellations, writers lacking artists because the artist can't support them, and a whole lotta junk like this means that this will go away soon.

'Course, it also means we got places like the game I'm in that says "Screw all this" and does its own thing.

.....

[Which kinda reminded her what Hal once told her when they were attempting that sort of 'mentoring' thing Snapper suggested. It snapped her back to reality a bit.]

.... Everything's just really out of place. Like, far out of place. They better make things right again, or I'll try and do something. [That is, if she could.]

((OOC: Whoa, I actually didn't knew the second article though, this is great I honestly don't mind some very few things of the New 52 but Orson Scott Card working for Superman or generally anything just felt ehhhh.))

Edited 2013-03-14 15:03 (UTC)

Out of place? Hell yeah it is. But when you build something out of place, it's gonna collapse in on itself. So don't worry, things'll come out well. because if not, they got me and you to answer to.

[Here, have a smile as well]

[OOC: I've known about it for a while. And there are a few shining points in the DCnU: Swamp Thing, Animal Man, and Demon Knights were among them. But they could have happened without a reboot. Those things that relied on the reboot happening were at best Meh (See: Justice League, Action Comics) and at worst gawdawful (See: Red Hood, Mr Terrific, Catwoman, Secret Six, etc)

[Which she finally smiles back, good job!]

Yeah! And we can ask everyone to help out, I'm sure there's a least a handful of people who'd at least lend some help.

((OOC: Oh god, don't remind me of Justice League, JLI was sort of the reason why I started reading comics again, the 52 version just seem dull. I've heard some good things about Batman and Robin and Snyder penning Batman, but after Morisson's last stint before leaving, I'm still kinda hesitating picking up anything new aside from the off-canon Li'l Gotham.))

Oh, believe me, I can get a *lot* of folks. Like all the beginning Titans who have been wiped from existence. And Ted Kord. And Ralph and Sue Dibny. And a whole mess of other folks that would have words with this Dan Didio clown.

Until then, we got places like this. And the place i mentioned earlier.

Like Damage, Anima, Sweet Sixteen, Serpenteen, Lagoon Boy, Star Girl, and a bunch since everyone sort of extended the team. Maybe even [Twitch.] Spoiler.

He messed up a good lot of people, so I guess we all could stay here- it's sort of nice.

Nice is all right. Having things the way they were is even better. At least, so long as that "the way they were" didn't include the Titans rather long history of being a higher risk job than most teams.

[Because having more dead teammates than the League is always upsetting]

Well... if we could... but yeah, I'd like everything turned back to the way it was.

[Never mind most death are inevitable, it's kind of those things a warder knows even when they don't want to. But, Cyborg's being nice and she doesn't want to upset him.]

Look at it this way, you're not totally forgotten right? Or else you wouldn't be here!

That's true and my mun's been pretty nice to me so far even if she's busy.

It's more like, you can't help but miss your friends and afraid they forgot about you, y'know?

*sigh* yeah I know what ya mean. I miss my gal pals something fierce.

Still better to lay low then get a total personality overhaul right?

[A nod] Or a costume change. I don't... have the figure for that, I think.

That didn't stop them from trying it with me. I keep telling Ivy if I had a figure like hers I wouldn't dress like I do.

Oh... um... my mun had seen yours I think, Ms. Quinn? I think your figure's still okay.

[It's just that, aren't you cold running around in that.]

Aw aren't they sweet? Well thank em for me will ya kiddo?

I'll be sure to!

[Secret stop.]

You're not forgotten about, at least not here. And I'd like to forget about what happens in the future.

[The only good part is his parents still being alive and safe. Although he can't help but feel like they'll eventually be put in harm's way again.]

[Oh.

Hi, Robin- Or Tim, Red Robin, or ~~Mr. Sarcastic. or Caroline.~~ whoever she should call you now. Actually seeing him like this makes her briefly quiet. Changed, matured. Technically she'll too, if her mun picked her in a different point of her life and by then she'd probably feel less sad about it, but now...]

But would my friends forget about me?

[Mostly Tim. You can't exactly lie in front of him, not entirely anyways.]

Your friends wouldn't forget about you.

[Pauses, knowing who she is referring to.]

I haven't forgotten about you, Greta.

[The time he spent with Young Justice were some of the best times of his life. Only recently has he returned to a place where he can begin to enjoy life again, instead of letting everything that's happened since the team disbanded, consume him]

[Somewhat feigning annoyance, she folded her arms to her chest and look away. No matter how much she actually tries to, she can't entirely trust him; though on a hindsight, she couldn't entirely be angry with him either. For what he did, even from breaking promises but also helped her getting the DEO off her tail.

Having a crush on him is hard.

Which.... felt even worse that he seems to.... actually noticed this time. This whole strange space and meeting the past and/or present is frustrating.]

.... Thank you.

[When you have lost as many people as he has, you learn to pay better attention to what the people you care about say verbally, through their actions, imply, or sometimes more importantly; what they don't say.]

Anytime. [Smiles at her.]

My mun is holding out for a lot of the changes to be undone in future plot. Maybe for once we'll be able to catch a break. [Not a fan of recent developments. At all.]

That person isn't you. [a beat.] Maybe there, but the one I- we all became friends with you, Robin. Or... Red Robin now, was it?

[Of course there's always just calling him Tim, or Alvin, since they only knew because of Bedlam and knowing that information from someone else is sort of. Awkward.]

Maybe it'll all just be a big bad dream.

Red Robin these days. [Would have mentioned that she can call him Tim, if he wasn't so annoyed about what he's like in the new future.]

No one is acting like themselves. [The smile is quickly replaced with a frown.]

And nothing makes much sense any more. [Doesn't even want to touch half of the things that have gone on in Gotham.]

We can only hope. In the meantime, at least we have places like this.

I couldn't agree more... It's all strange and bent around. For everyone's sake, I really hope it's a bad dream.

[Okay talking about this turned out to be far more 'mopey' than she had taken account for. Greta was actually starting to feel less crummy about it, Limbo Land wasn't entirely lonely as she first imagine. It sucks even worse for those who did make the cut.

A change of topic-!]

Soooo, you look... Different.

I know, I need a haircut, right? [Smirks, thinking back to Conner's first reaction when he saw how long his hair had grown.]

A lot has changed since I was with Young Justice. I've grown up and needed a look that reflected it. [Being called kid all the time and getting laughed at by villains quickly got old.]

No-! It, um, suits you- I like it. It's... different. More mature?

[She flashed her own shy smile.

Aaaand, there she goes in the back of her head, reflecting how she'd rather be an adult than an awkward teenager that keeps picking the wrong choice of words. Because good job, Greta.]
