[Zatanna is seen sitting at the desk in her room, looking contemplative about something. She has a pencil in one hand, idly chewing on the eraser in between moments of inspiration. Whatever she was drawing seems to have her mystified, though the actual drawing was just beyond the view of the camera.]

[Behind her, the open window lets in a faint breeze that stirs her hair. She starts to say something multiple times before the words finally make it out, unusually cautious and deliberate.]

Okay, by now, I'm pretty sure we all know the mainland does something to those of us with powers. But I was wondering...does anybody's feel...I don't know...different since coming here? On the turtle, I mean. Like...[another pause]...like maybe it's coming from a different place? Or works a little different than it used to?

[And, because she knows people will ask, she ends with a very nonchalant shrug.]

Just curious, is all.

And then some, I can't imagine him any other way.

[backwordscompatible]

So, basically, long story short: alternate universes are WIERD.

[People being different ages. Growing up with a Batman who never smiles. Ridiculous team names. Zatanna was starting to like her universe more and more.]

[controlledvariable]

I think that's the general consensus. At least I haven't run into an alternate version of myself.

[silver linings????]

[backwordscompatible]

No. Just hear about her every other day.

[Okay, maybe a slight exaggeration. Point made, though.]

[controlledvariable]

Touche.

Want me to tell them to cut it out?

[backwordscompatible]

If you think it'll help.

[Couldn't hurt to try.]

[controlledvariable]

I can be pretty persuasive when I want to be.

[Mostly with violence, but you know, whatever]

[backwordscompatible]

I'll keep that in mind.
