[video] It's how she says hello

[volving]

[ Cass is still not sure how she feels about being so far away from home, and the people she knows. True, she'd just moved to Bludhaven back home, but at least she could go visit easily, and call Babs if she needed help. Here, she is on her own.

Well, for now.

She decides to greet her new teammates with a video. She doesn't look like she could be much older than 17 or 18 at the most, and while she has the cowl of her new uniform pushed back so her face is visible, it seems to be all black, and there's the top of a potentially familiar logo on her chest. When she speaks, her voice is soft and her words are slow and deliberate. ]

Hello. I'm Batg--. [ a beat, and she squares her shoulders slightly ] I am Batman.

[ Most likely no one expected to learn that Batman was a small asian teenage girl. ]

Where can I find the... training room?

Comments

[ringslinging]

In our time? Yes, they're important. Here, not so much. Apparently, everyone stopped caring somewhere in the last thousand years. Legionnaire identities are a matter of public record.

...well, I should say Earth stopped caring, because the rest of the universe was already in front of that.

[volving]

Oh.

[ Well. That makes things a lot easier, honestly. She almost looks relieved. ]

I'm Cassandra Cain.

[ringslinging]

Hal Jordan. Or sometimes much less flattering things, depending on who's talking about me.

[volving]

Green Lantern.

[ That's a familiar enough name. It was in enough of Bruce's files that even though she mostly didn't deal with anything metahuman, magic, or alien, she's heard of him.

That's not saying much, granted, a lot of League members were, but she knows who he is and that's a little reassuring. ]

[ringslinging]

Right. One of them, anyway.

[ And since Kyle changed colors and became Space Jesus, they've managed to avoid any confusion with that so far, but if any of the rest show up, he is ready and willing to defend his title in an arm wrestling match. ]

[volving]

You are in his files.

[ All of them were, of course, but Hal showed up often enough to trickle into the files Cass had access to and reason to read, once in a while. ]

[ringslinging]

And probably much happier not knowing what he says in them.

[volving]

I don't know. [ she shrugs ] I mostly listened just to... files I needed.

[ringslinging]

Efficient, right down to business. Exactly what I'd expect from you Batfolks.

[ Not his style at all, really, but hey, it works for them. He can respect that. ]

[volving]

Yes.

Also it takes time. To listen to them. So if I don't need to, I have other things to do.

[ringslinging]

If Spooky's the one taking notes, I can believe it.

[ The man is nothing if not meticulous. ]
