So, I guess this is our shot at getting contacted by people from back home? Kind of nice in theory, but I'd sort of rather just have a phone instead of hoping anyone from back home's listening in on all this.

... Funny thing is? A lot of the people I care about are here already. Or, were here. How's everything going, Wally?

Too much already. We'll be okay.

How are you really?

Tired. Stressed. Worried about stuff I can't really control, but trying to stay sunny and positive as much as possible. So, basically the same as ever.

I miss you, Babs.

[Maybe it is okay to reach up and put her hand to the edge of the camera. She knows the shape of his jaw even if they're worlds apart, and she sounds pained and fond and guilty all at once.]

I miss you, too.

Talk to me? I don't know how long this connection will last.

[He smiles a little, and it's basically the same - pained, fond, but with maybe a little less guilt. He's more then happy to oblige that request.]

This place... it's incredible, Babs. Well, incredible and horrible and maybe a little like Gotham without the rooftops to run around on, I guess is maybe the better way to put it, since there's always some kind of fiasco going on, but it's nothing like what I thought it would be.

Bruce, Tim and Steph are here. And Jason. We get you, Alfred and Cass on board and it'll be a real family reunion.

Someone's got to keep Gotham running, what with you three always disappearing off on a boat. [Playful chiding.]

I saw someone claiming to be Sherlock Holmes. Crazy or the real deal?

Well, someone's got to rehabilitate the world's criminals, since Arkham's doing such a lousy job.

Real deal, but I'm not sure if he's the Holmes from the book, or someone who's just... basically exactly the same as the guy in the book. That kind of thing happens a lot around here. Like, we've got a Captain Kirk? But he's not William Shatner. He's actually a really cool guy.

[Dryly—] Blasphemy.

Is Tim drowning in nerd glee?
