[What is visible of the room is obviously in Earth Sector, both from the décor and from the view out of the large, open window over Lois’ shoulder. As for Lois herself, she’s still somewhat damp and visibly grumpy about it. Her sigh is explosive as she runs a hand through her hair.]
Kidnapping, fine. Another day in my life. Alternate universes? They’re not so much my thing. I try to leave that to the heroes. Murder and mayhem are plenty for headlines.
[Lois rolls her eyes as she says the latter. Despite the few sentences, she manages to convey even more information, even subconsciously: her face and tone are expressive. Exasperation, impatience, and the voice of experience shine through. So too does her underlying concern, though. She is absently twisting some hair around a finger. Her engagement and wedding rings glint as she does.]
Lois Lane, Daily Planet, if anyone’s heard of it.
The last time I ran into an alternate world, at least it was someone’s… misguided attempt at a paradise. Nice enough place, but even that ended in a fight. One day I’d like to get a freaking vacation with one of these things.
[Pause.]
So… are there any competent newspapers around this place?
[So much for wanting a vacation.]

About a year ago, but things have been... complicated.
And the time displacement is simply another aspect of the experience, I thought mentioning it would make things less confusing. [Shrugs. Up to her to take it or leave it, remember or forget.]

A year ago? Huh. Probably is a timeline thing. I don't get minute-to-minute updates on Gotham, but I hope I'd've heard about this.
[There's dry fondness in her voice--just in case she's got a superear listening in.]
Have there been a lot of timeline inconsistencies?

The lines of communication may also have broken down some, since. Highly probable it is one of those cases.
[And. Damian shrugs.]
There are people here who have been pulled from World War II. I should say so. Actually, I am not fully positive any two people are from the same time.

[Kara's parents, the Kryptonians: they've been keeping Clark busy, and he's he usual connection to Bat-news.]
World War II? Really? Impressive. [She pauses.] There have to be others who come from the same world as someone else here. None of them share times?

[It had been, as far as Damian knows, Superman who delivered the news, to Grayson and Drake and Pennyworth. Who confirmed the stupid dead clone had Father's DNA. Highly unlikely that they would have missed what happened after that.]
None that I've heard about. But, hey, you're the journalists, you might have better luck with that.

Aren't you Bats the detectives? I'd expect find something like this our to be like a homework assignment.

I think the weight of experience with mismatches might have simply made Father dismiss the question as insufficiently consequential. Or he decided to do it himself. Or he is still waiting for more information, new people arrive every week.

Alternate dimension kidnapping us? And you think he would dismiss anything as insufficiently consequential? [Not the compulsive paranoid she knows.]

Temporarily, when there are more urgent problems pressing.

Prioritizing doesn't mean ultimately dismissing some things. If he did, that info would just get lost.

[Mouth hardens, that is not exactly a new situation, but he shrugs.]
The information doesn't get lost. Even without explicit work on it.
