[ The video blinks on suddenly, catching the corner of the chin. There's a shift of it left, right, before it settles on a pair of ice blue eyes, far too close. Familiar eyes, and an even more familiar face when he pulls the screen back.

Bruce Wayne. ]

You know. [ He clears his voice quietly. ] It's a really surreal experience to be snoozing next to a beautiful lady - and let me tell you, her breasts are fantastic - and then suddenly landing back-first into a strange city. It's terribly rude.

And to make it worse, I switch on this thing, and the first thing I see is my own face. [ Pause. Dramatic pause. He's letting that sink in, City. ] I think there's a word for it - deja vu? But words don't seem very adequate right now, no.

[ There's a scuffling as he sets down the camera on a nice surface. Rocky, though. But it steadies after a while, and he clears his throat. ]

Unfortunately, as handsome as my own face is, I don't remember making any of those posts. Or talking to any of you surely fascinating people [ Bright smile. ]

Care to enlighten me?

[ ... Shush, you're not supposed to realise he has been here for days. ]

Did that make you feel better?

A little. There's other things that would probably make me feel a lot better, but I'll take what I can get.

Pretend I care and I'm asking what those other things are.

No.

Reverting back to childishness. Charming.

No, I'm refusing to indulge you. If you're so determined to not care, you don't get the privileges that come along with caring.

Fine by me.

So what should I call you when I inevitably have to talk to you again?

Batman.

I can't call you that. Batman is the man who smiled when I remembered my mother's name.

[ the man who almost blew up a planet for her ]

Should I be touched by that?

[ after a pause that's just long enough to be significant: ] No. Because you're clearly not him anymore.

Oh please. Spare me the theatrics. You know exactly how I'm like. [ Infinite Crisis. ]

It's not dramatics to be a upset about one of the people you care about suddenly doing an about face until you're not even sure they're really from your universe anymore.

Think that if you like.

[ no reply. she's too torn between anger and hurt to try and continue :c ]
