So everyone knows about alternate universes now. But have they seen any strange ones?

And I mean, strange like. Is your evil alternate twin running around here? Or a good looking one (but with a beard?)

I'm just kind of curious as to what people know about alternate universes and what they've noticed about them.

Superboy and Robin. It's like the next generation right in front of my eyes. Man, I'm not ready to be superhero-middled-aged yet.

[supersweet]

What's that? Isn't that just another way of saying you're old?

[batbullets]

Hey now. I'm in my early twenties. That's hardly old, Supertot.

[supersweet]

How would I know? It's not like I get to meet any superheroes besides Batman and Wonder Woman.

Parents keeping you locked up tight until they think you're ready?

[supersweet]

[ Jon falls silent at that. Some days he thinks he'll never be ready. Whatever he is — will always be too confusing or too unstable. ]

They're protective.

[batbullets]

Take it from someone who died at a supervillain's hand, kid. It may suck, having parents that protective, but sometimes, it really is for your benefit.

[ What is WITH all of you and dying??? ]

I already knew that.

[It's a Robin thing. We think we're actually Phoenixes or something.]

I almost can't believe I'm saying this, but Damian's probably good for you. You get to explore the world a little bit, and he gets a friend. ...I mean, except for where he isn't here. But you do have two older Robins if you need us.

[ Other Robins. Jon doesn't know how he feels about that. On the other hand, it would be nice just to talk to people and not hold back. But . . . ]

Do you play video games?

[batbullets]

I do, but I gotta be honest. I'm way more a Mario Kart/Mario Party guy than I am a Halo guy. You?

[supersweet]

I play a lot of games. Damian does too. Maybe we can play together sometime?

[batbullets]

Any time you want some company and to kick back with video games - or anything - I'm here for you, Kent.

Thanks Mr. Todd.

[batbullets]

Whoa. Hey. No. Not Mr. Todd. That was my loser dad. Call me Jason. Or Jay. Anything but Mr. Todd.

[supersweet]

Sure. Jason then.
