Knowing where a bathroom is always good information to have, though.

Robin considers.

"About the size of a major metropolitan area. Not nearly as big as Gotham, though."

[imaginate]

Much smaller than outer space, which meant less worry about using too much of the ring's power. He could fly without a forcefield, for one. 'You guys must be at home in the city, huh?'

[hackingyoursensors]

"In some parts more than others-- Metal is probably the closest to Gotham. Highest crime rate in Keeliai, but nowhere near Gotham's level."

That's kind of an unfair comparison. Nothing is on Gotham's level.

"How about you? Where are you from, back home?"

[imaginate]

Nothing is near Gotham's level. For a moment, Kyle was really, really glad he's not in Gotham, or at least in a place completely unlike it.

'When I was on Earth? New York City.'

[hackingyoursensors]

"So this isn't too different. You know, not like living in a rural area and suddenly ending up in a big city."

He knows about making big adjustments. It's not fun. And he wasn't even on a turtle then.

[imaginate]

'Try living in outer space and then ending up on a turtle.' Kyle shook his head. He couldn't even believe he missed the daily dangers of space.

[hackingyoursensors]

"Okay, you definitely got me there."

He's never even been to space.

[imaginate]

'Don't worry - you'll get to see space in a few years. The Watchtower's up there, right?' He wasn't sure if it was in orbit or on the Moon, but it was definitely up there.

[hackingyoursensors]

"So you're a Leaguer too?"

It's a safe assumption, considering even he didn't know about the Watchtower until Roy let it slip.

[imaginate]

'Yeah, been one for a pretty long time.' Almost his entire superhero career, which was more than most people could say - people like Dick had been training long before Kyle had even begun to think about fighting crime. 'Wait, what do you mean "too"?' No way Dick was a Leaguer at that age. That was ridiculous.

[hackingyoursensors]

Oh, he could so easily mess with Kyle.

Hmmm maybe he should take pity. The poor guy is new.

...nah.

"I mean 'also,' 'as well,' 'likewise.'"

[imaginate]

'Nice try.' Kyle may not be quick on the uptake but honestly. 'The version I know was part of the Teen Titans when he was the same age as you. What's your world's equivalent?'

[hackingyoursensors]

"Just making sure you're still paying attention." Yeah, right.

"That's confidential." The Team is covert, bro. Or maybe he's just messing with you again.

[imaginate]

'Or maybe you guys just have a cooler name than "Teen Titans".' Kyle had been at this long enough to know. Then a thought occurred to him and he made a face. 'I hope you didn't let Roy choose.'

[hackingyoursensors]

Dick snorts. "Definitely not. He won't even join the team."

[imaginate]

That's new. 'Seriously?' Wow, things were different in their world.

[hackingyoursensors]

"He's warmed up to the idea, but he did call us the Junior Justice League at first."

Roy is very rude.

[imaginate]

'What do you call yourselves?' Junior Justice League was a mouthful, even if Roy had come up with it.

[hackingyoursensors]

Dick shrugs.

"We just call ourselves the Team. Not catchy, but it works."

Considering who's on the Team, actually trying to name it would be a neverending argument.

[imaginate]

'That sounds fine.' Coming from the guy who's part of a Corp that takes 'Green' and 'Lantern' extremely literally. 'So, what have I gotta know about Metal?'

[hackingyoursensors]

"It's the city's hub for everything tech. There's nothing quite as advanced as what I have back home, but at least there is tech."

He considers.

"Gang violence is lower here than in fire, but random crimes-- muggings, assaults, et cetera-- are much more common."

[imaginate]

That at least meant the civilian population didn't have access to whatever it was that was bringing them here. Kyle inwardly heaves a sigh of relief.

'So that means there's always one of you hanging around here, huh?'

[hackingyoursensors]

"Yeah, but it's a bit too soon to call it the birds' nest. Or the belfry."

[imaginate]

'Too bad there isn't a literal cave here, huh.'

[hackingyoursensors]

"Not that you know of."

He's joking. Probably.
