[ 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.

We'll deal with Jim when the time comes.

[ Don't sound so entertained, Dinah. ]

Well, I'm a Bird, not a Bat. I'll make sure to point that out. And I'm so not entering a discussion about the Bat-family without a restful sleep and ungodly amounts of coffee first.

Don't hit on him too much, it just encourages him.

[Steph really can't talk when it comes to that sort of thing, though at least she's stopped hitting on Kirk.]

I'll try to explain the difference before you meet her. [Not that she doesn't think Dinah couldn't handle Ellie, but the girl can be intense.] You're welcome to borrow some of my clothes until you've had a chance to go shopping.

[Speaking of, she's just going to start carefully folding up the half-finished sewing projects that are on the bed. Most of them are normal civvies, but there's two black bodysuits and one leather jacket.]

Aye aye, captain.

[ He's probably too young for her anyway. Too young meaning not older than her, because this is Dinah.

And so no commenting on the clothes and the stuff or anything. Dinah knows when not to pry. ]

Thanks. I'm going to be getting myself acquainted with this place pretty fast, so I probably won't need much. Which is exactly the way I like it.

[controlledvariable]

He's one of those, actually.

[SPACE CAPTAIN.

Becase look okay as much as she will antagonize the fuck out of Jim, she still thinks it's pretty damn cool that he's captain of a spaceship.]

I figured you'll adapt pretty fast, Babs and Helena did. [Steph... sort of did, but mostly by kind of holding herself apart from everyone.] But if you need any clothes tailored or anything, I'm your girl.

[In case the sewing machine and projects didn't give that away.]
