[ The image that resolves is one of a young man wearing a blue domino mask. His smile is friendly and warm as he lifts a hand in a wave hello.

It's just also largely covered by a thick black beard. (He has at least trimmed it, but it's going nowhere anytime soon.]


Hi, everyone.

We all know we're probably heading into a new mission soon, and at this point we've spent a lot of time working together and learning about each other. I know we'd all like to be able to plan ahead, but without knowing what the mission will be until it comes, the only way to get started is to figure out what kind of assets and abilities we have available.

If you're willing, check in and let everyone know what skills, talents, powers, or other abilities you have.

No one has to participate. But if we all can get a better idea of what we can do, we can try to plan ahead, form teams between people with complementary abilities.

I'll start: hi, I'm Nightwing, and while I'm a normal powerless human, I can offer hand to hand combat, acrobatic, and detective skills, and — uh —

[ He looks over his shoulder, at something or someone off-camera. ]

Hi, Robin. Care to introduce yourself and your abilities to the nice people?

I'm 20. Biologically and mentally anyways. Not a lot of physical growing left to do here, pal.

[Pete pauses. He definitely caught that little hitch and this isn't the first time something like this has happened here.]

Lemme guess. Something I said weirdly matches up with someone you know and it's throwing you off, right?

[ Saying... a lot of things that are tripping around the edges of Tim's bestie. You know what you don't have to say if you aren't forcegrown in a tube, or placed in a VR to keep up with your rapid aging? That you'd 20, mentally and physically.

(Even the username is something he'd have picked once-) Squashing that and admitting only to what connects to what he's already said.

Huh? Yeah, that must be it. I knew somebody whose powers were described as tactile telekinesis. That's why I didn't hear you right.

[Pete raises a single eyebrow, the expression only enhanced by his mask.]

Wow. A+ clamming up job there. Where'd you learn it from? Director Wayne?

[ Nice try on namedropping a Wayne. Okay. Definitely similar world and eerily adjacent but wrong. And until he figures out exactly how wrong, he's going to assume it's all kinds of through the looking glass wrong. Robin King wrong. ]

Am I supposed to know who that is?

[ Kon would rather die that get caught did in a mask. That's what sunglasses are for. They can't be THAT related. ]

Nightwing taught me everything I know. Which is why I'm blaming him.

Bruce Wayne, Director of SHIELD. A my universe thing, sorry.

[And oddly, he had a guy going by Moonwing working for him. Not that Pete's bringing that particular bit up. The name of the director was fair game. Individual agents weren't. Sue Storm would have his hide if he started spouting off those.]

Look, just level with me. Is your buddy a clone? He being treated well? I've got a vested interest in that kinda thing.

[ Tim huffs a laugh and shakes his head, not that anyone can see it. ]

I can honestly say that your universe and my universe are very different. I've never heard of half the things you talk about.

[ And he leaves it at that, so it has a ring of truth. The clone thing - definitely not an open conversation. Not a private one either, to his thinking. Every time he gets involved with the clone stuff... it doesn't end well. ]

Which half?

[He pauses for effect]

I kid, I kid. You don't want to talk about it, we don't have to talk about it.

Anything you do wanna talk about? I'd ask how you got into the superhero biz, but I know that one's a minefield.

[ Tim so very little wants to talk about it that he's not even going to acknowledge it. ]

It's not much of a minefield. I saw a need, I asked about it, I did it.

[ Maybe there was more nuance to it, but that's the just. If he hadn't asked Dick to be Robin again, he wouldn't have ended up here. He'd probably have an internship. His dad would be alive. Things would be... different. ]
