probably looking for a home, gasp!

[skort]

I know you're a little rusty with this whole thing, but so what? You're up for getting back into things; I'm definitely ready to get back into universe hopping and ass kicking... What's holding you back? Nerves? [ she smiles wryly. ] You know as well as I do there's only one way to get over that.

[ cue a pointed pause ]

Okay, one and a half ways to get over that. Sort of.

[jokester_not_joker]

What is the half way?

[skort]

[ side-eyes... GEE YOU LOOK FAMILIAR ]

... This place is. Just jumping back right into everything is the whole way.

[jokester_not_joker]

[So do you, but he won't be making judgments based on that.]

I guess that does make sense.

Nice to meet you by the way. My name is Jokester. I assume you're of some relation to Superman?

[skort]

Yeah, he's my cousin. I'm Kara--Supergirl.

[jokester_not_joker]

Huh, same name as Ultragirl.

I guess everything isn't too different between our worlds even with morality being flipped.

[skort]

I think your Superwoman's pretty different from my Wonder Woman. But things are disturbingly similar.

[jokester_not_joker]

No need to frown about it, it's easy to keep track of things unless you guys start swapping costumes.

[skort]

It's not the keeping track of things that worries me.

[jokester_not_joker]

Than what is it? That if the deck was shuffled a little bit you could be a villain?

[skort]

Got it in one. You can't tell me it's not weird to know there's a version of yourself out there that's a horrible human being.

So to speak.

[jokester_not_joker]

It bothers me a little. Mostly it gets me because of the mistaken identity.

What I remember though is I'm me, and he's him. I'm not the Joker, I want to help people and I had real friends.

It doesn't help completely, but I imagine it would be a bit cathartic to take a sledgehammer to his head for how he treated Harley.

[whistles_the_blues]

Any place in mind to go?

[skort]

There's a few possibilities, but nothing definite yet.

[whistles_the_blues]

I suppose you'll find a way to make where ever you end up interesting.

[skort]

Well, I'll try anyways.

[whistles_the_blues]

Well trying is the first step to failure, however, I hear it's also the first step to success.

[skort]

I've heard the second phrase more than the first. But I guess it depends on whether the glass is half-empty or half-full.

[whistles_the_blues]

I like to think it's what ever the person chooses.

[skort]

Well... yeah. That's kind of what the idiom implies.

[whistles_the_blues]

And here I thought I wasn't being obvious enough.

[playswithtoys]

Oooooh! I'm so glad you'll be around to play!

[howisaraven]

The question is: which universe would you be kicking ass in?
