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?

[batmanschmatman]

Shoot.

Private.

[an_abomination]

What do you know about Kryptonian clones from your world? The ones who were created on Krypton.

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

Nothing, really. Superman doesn't talk that much about Krypton's past, and I've never really seen reason to ask. Why?

Private.

[an_abomination]

I came across a book written in Kryptonian here about Krytpon. I wanted to ask if what was written is true but I guess you wouldn't know.

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

What did it say?

Private.

[an_abomination]

Just some things. [Things that have left a sinking feeling in his stomach and are making him feel very uneasy.]

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

Like?

Private.

[an_abomination]

Before I say, how accurate are the books in the library usually?

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

I guess it depends. I don't think they're definitely labeled as This is Your Earth, and there are definitely some works of fiction in there, but I'd assume most of the non fiction ones are pretty accurate for somewhere.

Private.

[an_abomination]

I don't think it's about my universe. [Cringes as the images Supergirl accidentally shared with him filter through his mind.]

According to this book, clones were originally created to be used as spare parts for Kryptonians. In time they became sentient and there was a very intense debate over if they should be given rights or not. The debate lead to a war that left the planet as a emotional and physical wasteland.

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

Seriously?

Private.

[an_abomination]

Seriously.

[That sinking feeling in his stomach is getting even worse and he can feel anxiety kicking in as well.]

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

Superboy, I know that sucks to hear, but that's in the past. Way in the past, if it even happened on your Earth. And I'm not saying this to compare the two of you, but back home, I've literally never heard anyone question Conner's worth or seen him as just a tool. He's a person, just like you are, and that's what people should see when they meet you.

Private.

[an_abomination]

Thanks.

[A small smile tugs at his lips. The sentiment is appreciated but he's not sure if Dick would feel the same way if he knew everything there was to know about him. Pushes those thoughts off to the side so they don't weight him down any more than they already do.]

There's something else I feel I should mention that's not related to this whole mess. Well, it sort of is but isn't.

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

[He would, he's a loser like that.] I mean it. What's up?

Private.

[an_abomination]

[Such a good bro.] I had my first kiss the other day. Considering who it was with, I'm hoping it won't make things too awkward with Tim.

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

[........... Oh god.] What happened?

Private.

[an_abomination]

Steph and I kissed. [A couple of times at that.]

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

Well, I guess my advice would be break it to him gently.

Private.

[an_abomination]

How so?

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

People get kind of sensitive when people they used to have feelings for move on, especially if it's with someone they know. That doesn't mean you two can't or shouldn't like each other, but it just means Tim might be a little... weird about it, at first, if that makes sense.

Private.

[an_abomination]

[Is genuinely curious.] Why? I mean it would make sense if they still liked them but if you don't like someone, wouldn't you want them to move on?

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

Well, Tim doesn't not like Steph, he just isn't interested in dating her anymore. [He thinks. Maybe. idk. :|] When you have feelings like that for someone, they don't always go away when you stop dating, or seeing each other, even if you know it's not a good idea to be together anymore.

[He kind of half laughs, a little sadly.] Relationships and romantic feelings are really complicated, and don't usually make a lot of sense.

Re: Private.

[an_abomination]

[Sighs.] No kidding. I want to be friends with Tim and Cassie too. Whenever I'm around them I get this feeling of...not de ja vu but something like it. I don't think it's just because I know them in my world too.

Private.

[batmanschmatman]

That's strange. Not to sound like a concerned mom, but you guys are getting along okay?
