“A present…for me…oh, Hoodie..you really don’t need to. I mean…I know I had a hand in helping you grow up into the man you are now…but…I did that out of the kindness of my heart. There is no need for gifts.”
“Oh, but I can’t help but feel that I need to show you the same kind of gratitude and compassion that you showed both me and my mother. I have no idea nor I care if Batman is around this time, you’re not getting out of it. Better say goodbye to your precious girlfriend while you still can.”
Hey, he was actually kinda cute once you got past the whole wardrobe thing. Totally her type. Older than her, maybe, but not by much. But more than that he reminded her of someone… Maybe an ex-boyfriend? Whatever, it didn’t really matter right now.
“Much better. Oh, wait, should I take off my hood thingie too or? I guess that’d be polite, huh, like taking your hat off when you’re indoors…”
She reached up to grab it, but stopped herself. Maybe she should keep it on, actually. It was just a gut feeling she had.
“Anyways. I don’t-” Know where that is… was what she was going to say, but she did, didn’t she? When she first arrived in the city, she had met this guy from Gotham. He was a detective and they- They bonded over the fact they were both from there. So, she was from Gotham.
“I’m from Gotham. I think. But… I still don’t know who that guy is. He sounds pretty silly, actually.”
And there she was, stilling wearing that cowl; not that it would help him realise who she was, he couldn’t remember meeting anyone like her before, and she claimed not to be related to Batman, yet wearing his outfit and the bat on her chest.
She wasn’t from Gotham, didn’t know where that was, yet she was wearing that and carrying an utility belt. He found it hard to believe, and when she said that she was from Gotham, he frowned.
He didn’t like to messed with, and she was clearly doing that; either she had one of the worst cases of memory losses, not that he was the one to talk, when he forgot all bout Kori and Roy not too long ago.
“So you’re from Gotham or what?”, he huffed. “That’s a lot coming from someone dressed just like him.”, he said, pointing at her costume.
“You mean Kansas, and I never was in Kansas to begin with, Dorothy. Tsk. No idea. Where are my bows and arrows?”
"Yeah, yeah whatever, it’s all the same. The point is, we’re not anywhere that I recognise. And that we’re both missing our weapons and Kori isn’t around. Great.”
