Spoke to a boy about protecting his girlfriend.

Definitely sounds like someone I should.

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

She is the mother to Alfred's father figure.

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

Huh. Interesting.

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

So where have you been thus far?

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

Well, like I said, I was in your universe for a little bit. And then I was in another that was about three hundred plus years into the future, where I met a younger version of you, among others.

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

The superhero era started later there?

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm not quite sure. The version I ran into... I'd met her before, actually. She didn't originate in that universe.

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

Ah, a transplant. Did she mention her own reality? Was the JLA there?

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

Yeah. When she talked about her own reality... She was Grandma and Grandpa Wayne's second child, after an older brother named also named Thomas. She was "killed" to bring her to a reality where she'd be needed, while Thomas went on to become a Batman.

Is there a man there who's a quarter Kryptonian... Clark?

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there was. Prudence said he was... Robin, believe it or not.

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

... I'd heard of that reality, but my informant had overlooked that detail.

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

Threw me for a loop too.

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

If he was related to Clark he couldn't have been as rude as the Robins I've met.

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

He wasn't bad. I've actually met quite a few Robins, in the Nexus. Some nice, some a little more... ah, intense? Yeah. Intense is a good word for it.

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

The one I've met was an impertinent brat who backtalked Alfred till I knocked him out and shipped him home. The other one I've had dealings with operated in my city for a couple months, and never saw fit to give my stand-in the time of day.

And you've met Bree.

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

I've liked the Nightwings I've met, and there was this blond girl who was pretty friendly. And some kid with white hair who I'm reasonably sure is Robin to some future Batman.

Bree, yeah. I probably coulda just cut to the chase on that one, eh?

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

I've made very few contacts in the nexxi thus far. I think I'm going to have to go in in uniform.

Probably.

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

I always do. Then again, it's how I stumbled into it in the first place. Simpler that way.

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

I wonder if I'll be able to do it without a shadow.

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

Natural--or semi natural--light is not going to kill you, Aunt Brenda.

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

I was talking about Bree.

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

Well, there's that too.

[anotherbwayne.livejournal.com]

Speaking of whom, I have to go and stop her from monitoring this on the other screen.

Be careful, alright?

[bat-daughter.livejournal.com]

Will do. You too.
