Has anyone seen a big creature with red fur, yellow eyes, a thick tail, and large dragon-like wings?

It would make loud, shrieking noises, respond to sonic waves and vibrations, and it would possibly hide in mountainous areas or caves.

[ Now, wait a minute. He knows Bialya. ]

I'll ask around. If he's here, we'll find him.

If you know of Bialya, are you familiar with Metropolis? Or Star City?

[bestrobin]

I plan to, if he's here.

I'm familiar with both. My father is from Gotham.

[signifies]

I have some notes on who's from where. You don't mind if I add you to them?

[ The next message is under a privacy lock. ]

I'm from Metropolis.

[ private ]

[bestrobin]

Depends on who you share them with.

cjk from Metropolis.

Are you Clark J. Kent?

( Jon had told him his father was here. For this person to mention Bialya, Metropolis, and Star City with those specific initials... Damian doubts it's a coincidence. )

[ private ]

[signifies]

My associate in the same business.

[ He means Nightwing. ]

Yes, I am. Who am I speaking to?

[ Another Wayne, like Tim, which he now knows to be the Waynes from their world. ]

[bestrobin]

Who are they?

Damian Wayne. Batman's son.

( Jon had told him his father and mother from a different world were here. The least he can do is take some of the guess work out of things for him. )

[signifies]

[ Bruce Wayne is Batman???? ]

Nightwing.

It's nice to meet you, Damian. I'm sorry to say I don't think Goliath is here. We'll have a look at some of the cave systems to be completely sure.

Would you like to come along?

[bestrobin]

( Normally, Damian wouldn't reveal that so easily, but there's no reason to dance around that tidbit of information. It'll come out eventually, especially if his father ever shows up.

Secret identities are stupid anyway. )

Fine. He needs all the information he can get.

A pleasure as always, Superman. ( Not really. He's trying to learn better manners. ) And I figured as much. I wanted to be sure before he caused any trouble.

Yes, I would.

[signifies]

[ It saves everyone a headache. ]

You can call me Kal if you prefer.

I'll meet you at five o'clock, work clothes? Where did they assign you to stay?

[bestrobin]

​Kal, then.

I'll be there. I was assigned to the community housing with some woman.

[signifies]

I'll meet you on the roof.

[bestrobin]

Don't be late.

[ action ]

[signifies]

[ He won't be. Clark is already waiting for him, hovering above the roof, tracking his movement and heartbeat if he ever has to find Damian in a hurry. ]

[ action ] sorry for slow ;;

[bestrobin]

( Damian was on the roof quickly, dressed in the dark cape and his Robin outfit. He made his way quickly up to the rooftop without an issue, his movements a series of swift, graceful moves that were quiet enough only Kal would hear.

After a few seconds, he appeared on the ledge of the rooftop in a flutter of a black and yellow cape, crouched low. )

Superman. ( He greeted calmly before standing, taking a few, cautious steps forward and towards the man. )

[signifies]

[ Clark can count on one hand the kind of people who would be this silent as they walked. It's unusual for such a young boy. Although he'd been told Damian was well-trained, he wasn't expecting to feel a sense of dread seeing it in person.

Just who had trained him like this? ]

Robin. [ He nods and holds out his hand. ] How would you like to be carried?

( no problem! I think we can tie this up in a few and handwave the exploring? )

[bestrobin]

( In contrast, meeting Superman out in the open without the Justice League around was different. The first time he'd met Superman in his world, he'd been at his father's side, Superman had been noticeably pleased considering the circumstances before their meeting. This wasn't anything like that. There were a lot less words.

He preferred it that way. )

On your back will be fine. ( There was a tone to his voice that clearly said he wouldn't allow himself to be carried like a child if he could avoid it.

Moving forward, he reached out to took the offered hand. His grip was firm, a way of saying there was no fear or apprehension about standing in front of Superman. )

( ooc sounds like a plan! also, if I may ask, do you have discord? )

[signifies]

[ There have been very few people who take Clark's hand without hesitation. He lets Damian climb on without any assistance, rising from the ground when he can feel a secure grip from his passenger. ]

We have four possible cave systems. I'll go to the farthest and then work our way back to the city. Sound good?

( I'm not familiar with that, sorry! )

[bestrobin]

( ooc ah, okay! It's a chat thing. I lured the Robins + Jon player into it. I was going to invite you if you had it. Figured I would ask! Also we can wrap this up here, if you're cool with that! )

That would be the best use of our time. ( He found a secure grip quickly, something that might have hinted at the fact that this isn't the first time he's ridden on someone - or something's - back. )
