So, Wally's been asleep for the last four...ish days. This isn't totally out of the question for him? But I'm starting to get a little concerned this is one of those comas everyone loves complaining about versus him just running out of steam for a few days. I've been monitoring his vitals and stuff, so, I don't think it's anything serious, but if someone could come in and check on him anyway, that would be great.

[Private to Tim]

I'm guessing you noticed our latest arrival.

[Private to Costigan]

So you know how I sort of ran off last night without a ton of explanation?

Because I don't want him involved and I don't want him knowing shit about me. You're my warden. That's the only reason you know half of what you do.

No, you haven't.

[batmanschmatman]

Right.

After Bruce fired me from being Robin, he took in another kid and basically trained him to take my place. He got killed by the Joker and about a year ago, he apparently came back from the dead but he's not... the same. He's maybe eighteen or nineteen now, and he's extremely dangerous. I'd recommend keeping your distance.

[lostundercover]

What's his name?

;private

[batmanschmatman]

Jason Todd.

;private

[lostundercover]

Jason Todd? The crazy attention guy?

He was here before, last year.

;private

[batmanschmatman]

The crazy attention guy's not too far off. How long was he here for?

;private

[lostundercover]

I don't remember. Couple months, maybe.

;private

[batmanschmatman]

Out of curiosity, he say anything about when he was from last time he was here?

;private - Hayley knew Jason, so Costigan didn't. Because I USED to try to separate.

[lostundercover]

I didn't really know him, guy. I don't remember.

;private - Hayley might get poked when she's done torturing Crane :|a

[batmanschmatman]

It's okay. He's actually from a while behind me this time, but in Tim's timeline? Apparently he's really lost it. Like, more so then usual.

;private - I don't know what you're talking about. >>; SHE IS INNOCENT.

[lostundercover]

You know, I don't really get the whole timeline thing. I died, no one I know has been here, my boys are all dead or alone-- or both.

;private - Oh, so I suppose you're going to blame Rex or something, huh?

[batmanschmatman]

I don't really either. I mean, Jason didn't die a year ago, but he's here and says it's because he died. And it wasn't like he was anywhere near redeemed last I'd heard of him, so... what the hell is he doing here?

;private - Mebbe.

[lostundercover]

Same as the rest of us inmates.

;private - Don't use Rex as a scapegoat. :c

[batmanschmatman]

But do you have people from your future saying you're not dead or redeemed back where they're from?

;private - She'll only partially blame Rex, if it helps any.

[lostundercover]

Told you, guy, there hasn't been anyone I knew here. You'd have to ask someone who's been here longer or paid more attention. Maybe Rex or someone.

;private - Oh nanomites. The things you do.

[batmanschmatman]

That's the point. I don't really understand what Jason's doing here if he's not dead.

;private

[lostundercover]

I don't know a lot about the Barge, but I have an idea, sir. I think that people here are in different universes to some extent. The things they do affect their own worlds. Otherwise, if you believe in time travel, I guess he might have graduated and the Admiral sent him back with his life again to move on.

;private

[batmanschmatman]

Not a bad theory.

Hey Costigan?

;private

[lostundercover]

Sir?

;private

[batmanschmatman]

Stop calling me sir.

;private

[lostundercover]

What's wrong with 'sir'?

;private

[batmanschmatman]

One, I'm like, four years younger then you, and two, I'm not your boss. What's wrong with Dick or Grayson or kid or whatever?

;private

[lostundercover]

Nothing. I call you all of them. You'd really rather I call you 'kid' than 'sir'?

;private

[batmanschmatman]

I'm a lot more used to it then "sir."

;private

[lostundercover]

This is exactly why I don't want to meet your dad. I know you're young, but you're supposed to be my warden. That means acting like you know what the fuck's going on even if you don't. To me, that means being okay with the 'yes sir's.

But that's fine. You want me to call you 'kid' instead, I'll call you kid.
