[ a vigilante wakes up in an alternate universe, suits up, and is promptly attacked by the Vine. Batgirl's barely tugged her cowl back on when the mirror leaps out at her, and for the first few seconds, the transmission consists mostly of spandex-clad hands wrestling with it, trying to turn it skywards ] Goddammit, don't you know that I'm only supposed to come out at night? What part of Dark Knight don’t you get? [ frustrated, she hits the front of the mirror. It doesn’t seem to mind, and just backs off, getting a full shot of her. Batgirl takes a deep breath, pinching the bridge of her nose. Talking to plants is never a good way to start your day ]

… it's sentient. Don't try telling me the Vine doesn’t understand puns.

[ she straightens up, putting on her Serious Face ]

If this is another girls-only alternate universe, you guys are gonna have one pissed Bat on your hands. I'm not even kidding. I was just given a shiny new secret hideout full of futuristic gadgets that put the iPhone 4 to shame, a new car, a sidekick-slash-stalker, and I invented Magnaelectrogooparangs. I had Reapers to reap! I was going places! And now? Now this.

I need a roll call, the 411, and something shockingly unhealthy to eat.

That's okay. I'm not really... fussed about what tree it comes from, or anything like that.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's good, then. I haven't been able to find any maples... Did you want anything else to go with them?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Nope! Just waffles, syrup, and your company. [ ] C'mon, I'll feel guilty if you're on your feet much longer.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

What, you need my company, too? You are needy.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Needy and demanding. It's part of a package deal.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

And to think I thought I missed it.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Guess you had to learn better at some point, huh? Suppose the Queen might give me a return ticket, if I ask really nicely.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Not just yet, okay?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine. [ ] I'll do my best to hang in here.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

That's a good answer, Stephanie.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I had to get something right sooner or later.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

It was inevitable.



Anything else?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

[ ] Nothing at all! Just sit down already. [ ] These are amazing, by the way.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Of course they are.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

[ ] 'min such a weird frame of mind. Dunno if— [ ] Being back here's hit me yet. I'll probably go home and scream into a pillow. [ ] I was out patrolling before I turned up, by the way. I don't always eat like this. I do have some dignity, sometimes. [ ] Man, I have a house here. Or I did. Better check it's still there. [ ] And my cave! Yup, that's right, I have a cave. What can I say? I like themes. And, occasionally, pretending that I sleep upside down.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Mmm, I think it's still there. And can I maybe see your cave sometime? Or is that for Bat-friends only?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

You should know by now that you're welcome over any time you want. You can even be an honorary Bat! Just watch out for the robots, 'kay? They'll either try to attack you or hug ya, and I can't afford to go getting jealous of nuts and bolts.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

I have plenty of hugs to go around, Steph.

But I'd like that.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Awesome! My super-secret code for the door is 0712. It's always worth putting it in wrong, though, 'cause it spits out heart-shaped cookies when you screw up.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

0712. And I guess the cookies are something courtesy of the Garden and not part of the original design?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Definitely not part of the original design. [ ] I've got computers in there as well, but if you try doing anything too complex on 'em, they just start playing really cheesy love songs that, like, my mom probably grew up with. The printer puts hearts on everything, too.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Do printers not do that normally?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Not unless you ask 'em to! [ ] So. I really should go check on things...

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

You should, yes...

But I'm right here and not really doing anything if you decide you're not sick of my company. Anytime. Really.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Yeah? That's cool. [ ] It'll probably only take me, like, a few hours, then I'll just pass out to get my head straight. Maybe I could swing by after that. Once I've found some proper clothes, I mean.
