[accidentally hitting record while he was inspecting the terminal was one of the last things on conner's mind at the moment. this place seems to be too farfetched to be considered real at the moment. besides, he probably has a concussion right now seeing as how blue kind of knocked him out three seconds ago before he got here. how...ever.... that happened.

anyway! he seems to be in a very serious conversation right now given the slight scowl he has on his face.]

—And you're sure that this isn't one big dream?

Yes, I am quite sure. You were brought here to-

Yeah, yeah. I know, I read the note. [conner sighs as he looks up and to the side. reading all of that with a throbbing headache was no easy feat either. conner purses his lips a little as he looks over the screen at whoever he's talking to. first things first, he needs to find something to dull the pain in his head.] Do you know if this place has aspirin or something that can alleviate headaches?

Aspirin? No, I don't. [a pause.] But maybe you can ask on there!

[conner deadpans a little as he looks down at the terminal in his hand.] I guess.... [his eyes widen a little when he realizes that the terminal had been on all along. welp that was embarrassing!] Well is there?

[He wants to just believe this is a fan in a stylized Superman shirt.

But he knows the face, even if this one is older. Much older. And it's lacking-- it's lacking any sort of shit eating grin and this broadcast didn't even ask if any of the ladies here were single and it never mentioned a beach side paradise

and there was no bragging of TTK and this is just wrong. This is the first time Tim's clicked on the recording feature while browsing another hero's broadcast on the D-Terminal. He's in his room, sitting up against the bed. Gabumon's by his side, literally twiddling his thumbs.

Robin just. Looks confused, even through the mask he's wearing.]

Are you feeling okay? [Obviously not, but first things first.]

[conner isn't really sure what to make of the question. but he knows he can at least trust tim because robin outfit! also he doesn't feel like he needs to think twice about it either since things have changed over the years. and tim is the new robin. sooooo--!!] Other than the splitting headache, I'm fine. When did you get here? And... what's up with the outfit?

[Oh.

Oh, what a relief that someone recognizes him as Robin! Finally!

But the small victory is short lived. He's putting two and two together. Conner looked older. If he recognized Tim and didn't ask about age first, or even seem surprised, then Tim must be known to be this age. And, no, his Superboy's as adolescent looking as Tim is.

Basically just. His recognition was nothing to celebrate.]

I got here six days ago. [That long ago? Really? It almost didn't seem like it.] And I've always worn this costume.

[he squints a little as he looks down at the terminal.] I find that hard to believe. You've always worn a black and red uniform. And the sleeves were longer. Unless you're a different Robin... [he vaguely remembers Wally talking about different universes.] You are the third Robin, right?

Aaaand you'd have used to D-Terminal to ask for hot dates, not an aspirin.

Yeah. I'm the third one. There are other heroes here who I thought I recognized at first, but now I know they must be from other universes. [Crazy as that sounds. There's a pause on his end. Well-- way to work himself up only to end up realizing how lonely he suddenly is.]

Just like you are, I guess.

[his brows quirk a little at that. hot....dates???? what in the world is his other self like if he'd ask for hot dates. sobbing.] Yeah. I remember Wally mentioning something like that. I guess you were the one he was referring to. [he pauses a little.] Sorry I'm not who you thought I was.

[Woops. Now he feels bad for feeling bad.]

No, don't worry about it. It's probably for the best.

If you're sure....
