[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.

[imaginate]

Are you even-- [then it hits him] you're not kidding.

[Face, meet your old friend Palm.]

[backwordscompatible]

No, Kyle, I'm not kidding.

Would you believe the best part of the story is that Batman has it now?

[imaginate]

[But it's safe with him, he nearly says. Safer, or something. He doesn't know. Anyway Zatanna did have a beef with his Bats so, okay. Caution first.] Is there a reason you wanted it?

[backwordscompatible]

[Safe enough. She would never not have beef with him--and she was a vegetarian, even--but they were on debatably better terms now than before.]

I...never did tell you what I was doing just before I was brought here, did I?

[imaginate]

Should we... sit down for this?

[backwordscompatible]

I'll stand, thanks.

But if you think you might faint or something, sitting down might be a good idea.

[imaginate]

I'm good. [He does stop and look at her.] Okay, go.

[backwordscompatible]

[Pause.]

[Deep breath.]

[Then, just for good measure, another one.]

I was wearing the Helmet.

1/2

[imaginate]

[what.]
