Why?

So you can threaten to punch him, too?

[Kidding]

[imaginate]

We'll see. [A smirk.

He has to advise Dick to get out of this bizarre situation, though.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Pretty sure Dick already knows]

Be nice.

Besides, he might surprise you. For a civilian, he's got some pretty good moves.

[Too Wally?]

[...don't care.]

[imaginate]

[Tilts his chin up slightly.] Did you just do his flirting for him?

[backwordscompatible]

[Maybe]

I might have insinuated at his dad's birthday party that his acrobatic skills had gotten rusty. He took it upon himself to prove me wrong, right there on the dance floor.

[imaginate]

[He can't keep the laughter in anymore.

Yep, doubled over, in hysterics.]

[backwordscompatible]

[Okay, she'll admit this is all pretty funny...but don't you think that's a bit much?]

What?

[imaginate]

I don't know; something about that entire scenario seemed... hilarious.

[DICK YOU ARE IN A LOVE TRIANGLE WITH YOURSELF.

He doesn't even write this crap it's still funny.]

[backwordscompatible]

Pretty sure that wasn't the word I used at the time.

[imaginate]

[He shrugs. #YOLO] I did mean it when I asked you to introduce me. Maybe I can be the audience at your dual magic-circus act.

[backwordscompatible]

[She shrugs, then glances upward as if genuinely considering the possibility.]

I never said anything about a team-up. But that's not a bad idea.

And you can meet him anytime you want, Kyle. I was just joking.

[imaginate]

Once I find my battery, I don't mind making you a stage.

[Now he is genuinely considering replicating Haly's Circus for Dick...]

[backwordscompatible]

You would? [Shh, she's not completely excited by the mere thought] ...I mean, yeah, that could be cool.

It's been a long time since I've gotten to practice any tricks.

[imaginate]

On condition that I get the best seats, for free.

[He's teasing, he fully intends to pay her if she needs the juulans.]

[backwordscompatible]

I think I might be able to negotiate a couple of backstage passes for you.

[You know, in case you had a +1 to invite]

[imaginate]

I know a few people who might enjoy it. [Connor. Wally. Maybe Soranik too, if he could force her to take a break.] And I can make sure nobody ruins the party.

[backwordscompatible]

Well, we've had pretty good luck with parties so far. I can't see why this one would be any different.

Though we might want to watch out for Her Royal High-and-Mighty-ness. That's all we need is for her to suddenly crash for "wasting" supplies, or whatever else she could think to yell at us for.

[imaginate]

The only thing being used will be some space, and ring charge. I can make seats, boxes, backstage, the whole thing, free of charge.

[backwordscompatible]

Works for me.

I'll mention it to Dick next time I see him.

[She's actually serious.]

[imaginate]

[He thinks Dick might like seeing the circus again, even if it was just a replica.] But I'll need a battery first - do you think the Emperor has one? Or it's... around, somewhere?

[backwordscompatible]

[She has to think. There was one instance of others finding items from their homeworld, for better or worse.]

There is one possibility...but it's a longshot.

[imaginate]

Shoot.

[Wrong answers are better than no answers.]

[backwordscompatible]

The last time we visited the mainland, a bunch of people found things there that definitely weren't from this world.

[Like the Helmet.]

I can't say for certain, but if your battery were to end up anywhere, I'd bet it would be there

[imaginate]

[what

no seriously just what.] What kind of idiot would leave a power battery lying around like that?

[He had as a rookie but.. oh no did he seriously just play the rookie card with himself? Life was weird.]

[backwordscompatible]

The same idiot who leaves the Helmet of Fate just laying around.
