I think I'm going to be hopping on the bandwagon of "let's never talk about that breach again."

[And there's about a second where he thinks about saying something to new arrivals, but that's kind of not his thing and he's kinda cranky because of the whole dream plot thing. So that's all, Barge.]

[Private Separately to Tim, Dean and Buffy]

We should talk.

[Private to Leslie Knope]

So, the breach kind of got in the way, but if you're up for that self defense brush up, I'm available whenever's good for you.

[Private to Superboy]

Have you talked to Wonder Girl yet?

[psychic_hotline]

And to think I was even a little curious about what kind of fictional character I am in some alternate world. That's dried right up.

Sorry. Not talking about it.

[Either wondering if mentioning their shared dream is avoidable or working up to mentioning it.]

[batmanschmatman]

[That awkward moment when you have supervillain dreams. :C] It's fine. I was more talking specifics of how much of an asshole my counterpart was.

[And that fanfic, good god. :|]

[psychic_hotline]

'Pushy, obnoxious borderline diva' is a level of 'asshole' I think we can all happily just forget about. Relatively speaking.

[batmanschmatman]

Good to know, I guess.

Private

[psychic_hotline]

[Her tone shifts noticeably. Less chatty, slightly more....cop-like.]

Do we need to talk?

Private

[batmanschmatman]

About what? [Oh god please just be a weird dream and not you seeing him being a supervillain/you being a crazy person secretly. :|]

Private

[psychic_hotline]

I don't know how or why it happened and all I can say is that I'm relieved it's over, but I know I was sharing my dreams. And I don't know how many people here are from worlds that even have a Bludhaven.

[Don't make her spell it out any more dude. :c]

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Oh. [That. :|]

What do you want to talk about?

Private

[psychic_hotline]

....I don't know. I guess I'd like to clarify that wandering around the docks bare-ass naked has never been my ideal Saturday night, at least.

[Also, tearing up dozens of people in a horrifying bloodbath.

...except those few times that happened.]

Private

[batmanschmatman]

I guess that's a good thing to establish.

... How accurate was the rest of it?

Private

[psychic_hotline]

If you're asking me if I've ever murdered a room full of petty criminals in cold blood, no, can't say I have. If you're asking if if I could if I wanted to...

[A long pause. God damn it. Three people knowing about this is three too many.]

Yes. I could.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

How? What kind of tech was that?

Private

[psychic_hotline]

It isn't -

[But then there's a pause and a short, bitter laugh because honestly, it's not like she has a single goddamn idea what it really is at this point beyond 'super old' and 'crazy'.]

To my knowledge, it isn't tech. It's an entity in its own right - a living thing.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

I wish I could say that sounds crazy, but to be perfectly honest, we've got plenty of weird stuff like that where I'm from.

So. Are you really a cop? [This is a totally legitimate question since Dick maybe hasn't been a cop in a very long time but still tells people that as a cover. >>]

Private

[psychic_hotline]

Yeah. And I've been a cop a lot longer than I've been whatever the hell else I am.

Are you?

Private

[batmanschmatman]

I was. [How much do you actually know. :|]

Private

[psychic_hotline]

[Ex Robin. God, she's hoping ex, you're way too old to be Robin. :c]

Were you ever that guy?

Private

[batmanschmatman]

[Hush I could have been Robin for forever if Bruce wasn't an asshole. :C]

Only as part of an undercover operation. [It's a lot more complicated than that but. :|] So no, not really.

Private

[psychic_hotline]

Right.

So. We're okay?

[We just happen to know a lot about our respective fears of losing control and becoming nutcases. :T]

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah. I'm sure you'll understand if I ask for your discretion on this.

Private

[psychic_hotline]

As much as I'm sure you'll understand me asking for the same.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

You don't need to worry about that.

How much do you know?

Private

[psychic_hotline]

About you?

Not much. I saw a couple of the movies, a few years ago, and I'm not about to assume anything about how accurate they were. I didn't make the connection until Tim mentioned Gotham.

[Somewhat understating the case here, buut not by much.]

Private

[batmanschmatman]

[Sigh, Tim. This is why we don't mention Gotham.]

They're not accurate. At all. It's like someone took the names and then just ran with some crazy interpretation they thought an audience would want to see.

Private

[psychic_hotline]

Don't worry about it. I don't believe anybody's press back home, I'm not planning to start here.
