I just gotta say, a moon zombie encounter was exactly what I wanted for my birthday. You guys sure know how to make a person feel right at home.

But seriously, what the hell was up with that and can we nix that from the schedule in the future? If there are other zany, undead surprises lurking around here, it'd be great if you could give a head's up ahead of time.

[She's Batgirl for this, because it lends a little more authority than just being Steph does.

She doesn't look impressed.]

Hey, geniuses. Just 'cause you don't have a secret IDs doesn't mean no one else does. Careful using other people's names in public.

[Because Dick is here, and he doesn't need his name associated with vigilantes.

video; public

[hashtagyolt]

Do I know you? And better question, if I don't, why not?

[Hey girl heeeey.]

perma vid, perma private

[controlledvariable]

What, you don't recognize me? I'm hurt.

[Her smile is a little too sharp to be friendly.]

still public

[hashtagyolt]

[This is going to come back to bite him in the ass.]

No? I'm usually pretty good at remembering to call, too.

jason you look like you're flirting with no one

[controlledvariable]

You wish.

[As if she'd give him her number.]

Watch who's names you're using, Todd. Don't make me come find you, this base isn't all that big.

[She adored the young Jason who was here, but she doesn't have time for this crap. First Walter, now Jason.]

all too common an occurrence, sadly

[hashtagyolt]

First off, I don't know who you are. Second, though, even if I did and I had some information over you, you've totally tipped your hand by even acknowledging I'm here, or that I've said anything at all.

jason pls: the musical

[controlledvariable]

[She can pretty much hear Babs telling her that antagaonizing Jason is the opposite of what she should do, but it's been a few days since she's made a really dumb decision.

Still, she tones down the hostility a notch.]

I'm not interested in making an enemy of you, and I don't want to have a hand to play, but you need to be more careful. Both of you.

[POINTS TO EYES POINTS TO ROY.]

The network is public, and it isn't safe.

[She's already reconsidering her own secret ID, with Walter here. What might happen to her friends if he decides he wants to hur her through them?]

jason por favor

[shotup]

You got it, Bat... person?

[A beat.]

Which one are you again? Not trying to be an asshole here, I just... have no idea who you are.

I smell a tony okay okay

[hashtagyolt]

Yeah, you totally do. There are only a few people in the universe --in any universe-- who go whining about secret identities in connection to me. So, riddle me this, blondie, is he here? Or have I managed to escape that tiny piece of the existential joke I call a life?

[shotup]

Hey, now. I didn't do anything. Blame that creep.

[hashtagyolt]

Better a creep than a moron.

[shotup]

You get the lucky distinction of being both. Congrats.

[hashtagyolt]

Woah. Sick burn. How will I ever recover?

[shotup]

FIgure it out somewhere else.

[hashtagyolt]

I think I liked you better when you didn't have a backbone.

[shotup]

And I liked you better when you were twelve.

perma that

[controlledvariable]

You kept talking to him. Publicly.

[Literally any other name and she wouldn't be so annoyed, but making sure Dick is safe is her number one priority and she doesn't want anyone to fuck up his secret ID.]

[shotup]

That's not my fault. He's really chatty.

[hashtagyolt]

I'm a goddamn social butterfly.

[shotup]

You're a goddamn lunatic.

[hashtagyolt]

I'll remember that the next time you're in front of a firing squad.

[shotup]

You're delusional, too.

[controlledvariable]

You don't know how to make a conversation private?

[Roy you come from her universe she knows there are computers there.

You have no excuse.]

[shotup]

I'm working out the kinks. There's a learning curve.

[controlledvariable]

[sigh]

Here, use that.

[And she sends him a file that he can add to conversation to encrypt them.

Though she left a backdoor for herself or Babs to get in.

Sorry Roy.]
