[ The video clicks in and Dinah is sitting comfortably inside some building, munching a hotdog. ]

Someone please tell me there are cheeseburgers in this watery hellhole. Mr. Pinkerman, I think I at least found a temporal alternative.

[ You just give her a moment to finish devouring the hot dog. Once she’s done, she’s ready to get down to business. ]

Oooookay, so I got the You’ve Been Chosen! Tour, saw the sights, got myself soaked wet and found the dirtiest, smelliest and cheapest hot dog stall that has ever been put in a corner. Exsilium, huh?

[ She shrugs, her tone casual, but those who know her might notice the tension in her shoulders and the sharpness in her eyes. ]

Sure beats Apokolips any given day in my list of worlds to suddenly get zapped into. I mean, if you can work out the plumbing issue… [ She points at the rain that can be seen in the window behind her. ] It would be great, really.

Anyway, I’m not much into whining. Name’s Dinah, Dinah Lance, and if you’ve seen a trigger happy…uh, blonde, do let me know. Babs, Helena, Zinda, if you’re hearing this, I’m starving, so be the friends you’re supposed to be and get me something to eat.

( Oh my God, Dinah. )

Still no Zinda sightings. Seeing how we've been going, I'd say she'll turn up next month.

( But, really. ) Come over to my place, I'll make you some actual food. ( That doesn't look like food.)

[ She's a growing lady.

Dinah waves the almost-done hot dog. ]

Please work your culinary magic for the great cause of Keeping Dinah Full.

[crossbearing]

I wonder what'd happen if you and Jaime got into a contest.

( Curious minds want to know: can Black Canary put more food away than a teenage boy? )

You know, if any one else told me to get in the kitchen... ( just saying. ) Five-oh-four. Get over here.

[fishnetted]

Nothing good for the island.

[ That's a dangerous bet. Really dangerous. ]

I promise to make the dishes? [ She even looks appropriately scared. ]

Uh, there where?

private, voice;

[controlledvariable]

[She's so excited she nearly forgot the encryption.]

Where are you?!

[She sounds like someone's just told her she's going to Disneyland]

private, voice;

[fishnetted]

[ Ooooh fancy encryption. Dinah is just going to keep that as it is. ]

Girl! I have no idea.

[ "You were kind of dead though." But yeah she's going to play it cool. ]

private, voice;

[controlledvariable]

Ugh.

[Ugh, Dinah, get your shit together.]

Are you in the Housing building?

private, voice;

[fishnetted]

Well there was this guy, he had this thing that he swore was a hot dog stall...things kind of happened naturally.

[ But food, Steph. ]

Ugh, they gave me a cot.

[lambofcolumbia]

[Here, have a slightly confused looking young Victorian woman, Dinah.]

You've been somewhere named 'apocalypse?'

[video]

[fishnetted]

[ Sure, why not? ]

Close, but not quite. Of maybe that's what they wanted to call it but someone over there has lousy grammar.

[video]

[lambofcolumbia]

[She's not quite sure what to make of that, but alright...]

Why would anyone ever want to name a place that?

[video]

[fishnetted]

Well, for starters, it's a pretty awful and dangerous place, so it kind of has a ring to it?

[ She shrugs. ]

Kind of your expected name for the planet of one of the baddest bad guys ever.

[gevurah]

[ Apokolips mentioned along with Barbara Gordon and Helena? ]

If you mean Barbara Gordon, she's here.

As for food, there's the marketplace if you're not keen on the food in the Hold.

voice

[fishnetted]

I know, we've already met. You know her?

[ She doesn't think she recognizes the voice. ]

I'll probably walk around and see what's on store. You've got a name?

voice

[gevurah]

I know of her, but we've spoken here now.

You've got it on the communicator. [ A beat. ] Kate.

voice

[fishnetted]

Oh, I see.

Kate, just for future reference; I can't find my way around technology, not now, not ever. Took me a day to figure this damn thing.

[Video]

[followupquestion]

[hey Dinah, here's a (hopefully) familiar not-face. Yes, she put on the mask for the call. Still figuring out where she falls on the Secret Identity issue here]

You found terrible street hotdogs? Where did you find terrible street hotdogs?

voice & private / threadjack!!

[gevurah]

[ She thinks her heart might have just stopped completely. She would recognize that not-face anywhere. ]

Renee?

[ There's a mountain of questions she's tempted to ask her right off the bat, but she can't pick even one. Her tongue flops uselessly in her mouth. ]

You're here.

voice & private / threadjack!!

[followupquestion]

[And Renee would recognize that voice and flash of red hair and pale skin until her dying day. Even the mask can't hide her shock.]

Kate!

[What hurts the most is the way her heart soars with joy and hope for a second at the sight of her, before her rational side reminds her that she's long since burned that bridge out of a misplaced desire to protect the woman on camera]

So are you.

[Why, why does Kate have to be here? She has a life back home, people who need her, and Renee...Renee's not sure how ready she'll ever be to interact with her]

[Video]

[fishnetted]

Hey, Question!

[ Waitaminute. ]

I thought you were supposed to be guy? And It's kind of a secret terrible hot dog stall, I think I would need to guide you there.

[ But seriously you were a guy. ]

[Video]

[followupquestion]

[Sorry, seeing her ex again has sort of thrown her off, so she'll be in sass mode]

I'm trying out a new disguise. Is it working?

If it gets me food that isn't whatever they're trying to pass off as edible here, I might take you up on it.

[Are you sure Dinah? Ever seen the Question naked?]

[video] quiet scream

[queenoftherock]

[Dinah Lance...?

This is getting entirely too surreal for Ollie. He'll quietly avoid introducing himself right now.]

You're probably better asking for someone to make you a good burger. What do the others look like?

[video]

[fishnetted]

[ STRANGELY FAMILIAR EYE CANDY. ]

I got that solved already.

And I'm expecting some of them to bark if I get too close.

[video]

[queenoftherock]

Well, you can tell a Transport apart from a Native pretty easy. We don't usually bite our own.

[pixieboots]

I should've known you guys were gonna be next. They were crazy not to start with the League from the beginning.
