[Suddenly, there's an unfamiliar voice on the network. Young, male, probably prepubescent and very, very familiar to some residents of Keeliai.]

These are some seriously nice digs. It's hard to believe that they have so many rooms "just in case," so I'm guessing this might be little more common than I was lead to believe. Do they employ kedan to wander around the Shell's Edge, plucking people out of the ocean? I wonder what you'd put on your resume: Plucker of Maybe Dead People Out of a Magical Ocean?

[The joke sounds slightly strained, but joking tends to make him feel a little more at ease.]

Anyway, I got the basic rundown from those kedan. Very friendly guys-- at least I think they were guys. But it'd be nice to have confirmation from more than one person. No offense to them, but I like cross-checking my sources.

And while we're on the subject: does anyone know anything about the Emperor? The kedan didn't speak about him too much.

Mr. Wayne certainly knows how to branch out.

They don't do take-out? I can't even imagine.

[Well of course.]

Well, with all that money I expect he's got free time on his hands. Have to do something.

[Haha. Bruce. Free time.]

It'll be interesting to see if he has to learn to work for a living here. [Smirk.]

You could probably corner the delivery market right now.

He must've been here for awhile. Unless they gave him more money starting out that they gave me.

[Sounding amused:] I could. Someone has to figure out a system to feed busy people. Especially reporters.

Longer than I've been here--apparently enough to own my paper. At least it's a taste of home.

[That part is a faint test. Because, really, Damien's conversation and lack-of-public-response to Bruce and Kid Flash?

Something's fishy.]

Definitely. A hungry-and-decaffeinated reporter is a cranky reporter.

So being a reporter isn't a new career move for you?

[He's very suspicious, yes. Bruce will be a bit unhappy at him for this, wont' he?]

[She laughs.]

I was still a teen when I went pro. Took some work to make Perry--my editor--hire me, but I'm the best.

[Modesty? What's that?]

[This is not the kid you want to come to if you need your ego held in check, Lois.]

Going pro as a teenager? I don't doubt you're the best.

Perry... that name sounds familiar, actually.

[Lois doesn't think she needs it, so that's good.]

How about Lois Lane?

[Woah, is this a reunion or something?]

Lois Lane, reporter for the Daily Planet?

[Or something.]

Nice to meet you, kid.

So, you got a name so I can locate my new gofer?

Richard, but most people call me Dick.

[............ Holy hell. Say it ain't so.]

Dick. Gotcha.

[And, after a moment, there is a little privacy. She's no Bat who can do Scary Awesome encryption.]

This is going to be a shot in the dark, but-- Grayson?

[That's okay, he'll crank up your encryption.]

I didn't realize my voice was that unique.

Not so much that as there's been a pattern. I could have been wrong, but it seemed possible.

I almost dread to ask what year it is for you.

It's 2010, of course. But what do you mean by a pattern?

[Stare.

Her 2010 Dick Grayson is decidedly not a kid.]

...Right. Of course. When else.

That anyone who knows who I am is either from Gotham or Metropolis and-- [Bat or Super family] well. Except Kid Flash, but he and I haven't talked.

Are they particularly super?

[Wow that was subtle.]

Aren't you supposed to be more subtle than that?

[She is so amused.]

What makes you think I'm subtle?

I didn't say subtle. Just more subtle than 'are they all super.' That's the kind of corny thing my husband would say.

[She loves him, but really.]

I didn't know you were married.

[Okay this is disturbing. It's like Dick from long before she knew him, except he says it's close to her year.

Her brain, it hurts.]

I think our timelines are doing something weird. I've been married to Clark Kent since '96.

[You know, he's getting tired of being confused.]

I heard there were issues with time but... I don't understand, sorry.

[Join the club.]

Don't worry about it. We're all pretty confused. Anyway, most of the others from Metropolis or Gotham--or Kid Flash there--would know more. I think Supergirl and I are the two most recent arrivals from a world like yours.

Supergirl?
