Happy late birthday.

[chiropteras]

[ SO. MUCH. SQUINTING. ]

Thanks.

Hi Bruce! This might be weird if you don't, but — do you know me? It's Kara! Or Supergirl I guess.

[chiropteras]

[ Okay, Bruce can't help chuckling a little. "Supergirl"? Really? At least she seems nice enough? ]

Hello, Kara. I'm sorry but I don't believe we've ever met before.

[immigration]

( look, she didn't pick the name herself. )

Oh. That's all right! I haven't actually met you in my world either, but I know some Bruce Waynes know some versions of me? Apparently. Alternative universes are weird, right? But so great.

So on a scale of one to ten how interested are you in playing twenty questions with someone who isn't going to help you meet your quota?

[chiropteras]

I say toss away the scale and bring on the questions.

[ Why not? He's got nothing else to do tonight. And maybe he's a little curious himself. ]

[killofthenight]

I like your attitude. Q1: Are you married?

[slam_poetry]

Do you know the name 'Cassandra Cain'?

[She'lljust get right to the point.]

[chiropteras]

[ Well. He can appreciate the frankness. ]

No. I'm afraid I don't.

[slam_poetry]

The Bruce Wayne from my world adopted me.

It's Cassandra Cain-Wayne now.

I won't bother you, but I thought I would inform you, should you see my name on Cuddlr.

[frightening]

When you have a moment.

[ The number the message comes from isn't anonymous, but it's got a very subtle teflon encryption on it, and if the other man chooses to look it up later, he won't find anything on the network attached to it. (Even his cuddlr was deleted a while ago.) ]

[chiropteras]

[ When he has a chance to call back, he does. Trying not to think about how weird this is going to be. Especially when he already gave advice about baking a cake to his other self.

When the other line picks up. ]

I got a several moments.

[frightening]

Is there something you wanted.

[ His bad habit of the no-question-mark question thing rides again. Also his far more common bad habit of being rude-- but then, he did say if you really want me to, so surely his alternate has a line of questioning in mind. ]

[jesses]

You didn't bring the suit. Are you also going to tell me you're retired?

[ he's not even going to pretend this is an apology. at least not yet. but this is selina's bruce wayne, and he's... something. curious, defensive. ]

[chiropteras]

I was for a time.

[ But then it was made pretty obvious Gotham still needed him. ]

[jesses]

What happened?

blah blah fancy encryption stuff

[killofthenight]

I see you're getting along with the new kids.

[It's almost like she's just pretending not to notice stuff until it suits her. That would be crazy, right? Enjoy the vagueness.]

[chiropteras]

[ Helena, you keeping tabs on your father? ]

He's no kid. He's made it a point to say he's old. Older than me, in fact.

[pleasant]

( a certain bruce wayne decided to sign a gift 'b.w.' so here is dick grayson just. trying to figure out which one it was. )

Did you leave me a stuffed bird?

[chiropteras]

[ .... ]

No. Why?

text. frost.

[telepathic]

Only coy men kiss hands and nothing else.

[ she has totally not been thinking about this since the date, but kind of a little in the back of her head. ]

[chiropteras]

Funny. I was always taught that was being a "gentleman".

[ "Kind of". ]

text. un: crossbows | backdated to her birthday

[killofthenight]

No pressure or anything, but I turned 22 today. Want to grab breakfast together?

[chiropteras]

I would love to.

[ Also, he's taking you shopping, young lady. Or something. Whatever you want because he wants to make up not knowing this bit of information. ]
