[ARRIVAL]

[Two girls, one in cloaked dark colours and one dressed in light, soar down on a large bird and land on the base island, near the farm. The blond girl in front dismounts first and turns back to the other.] This is a farm, so there must be people around here of some kind. I didn’t see any buildings from above… but we could look around for something hidden?

[ The cloaked girl follows suit, and dismounts from the bird. She reaches out with her empathy, but doesn’t sense anyone nearby. ] It would have to be hidden well.

[Pink girl smiles.] In that case, we’ll have to look very well to find it! [She gives her bird a pat on the neck.] Fly up and tell us if you see anything, friend! We’ll start the search down here. [The bird takes off; Zelda focuses back on Raven with the same smile.] Are you ready to start looking?

Sure. [ Raven deadpans and floats over to get a better look at the crops. It’s so strange. It’s definitely been tended to recently, but there’s no sign of anyone anywhere. She looks back over her shoulder at Zelda, who is smiling at her. Why does she attract so many friendly people.

Do forgive her if she doesn’t smile back. ] … I’m Raven.

[She is forgiven.] I’m Zelda. It’s very nice to meet you.

[TELEPATHY]

[ While not the most talkative of the duo, Raven decides to test out her new telepathy to see if she can contact anyone on the island, or elsewhere. ] Hello? [ IS THIS THING ON ] My name is Raven. I was under the impression there would be more people here. Guess I was wrong.

[It’s okay, Zelda will have the friendliness for the two of them. She offers warmth and kindness via her thoughts.] My name is Zelda. We both came here in response to a call for help. Can anyone hear us?

Cool, so...you've really never heard of me over there at all?

No. Why.

[ Wow, he seems really hung up on that, maybe. ]

Cause I'm kind of a big deal, you know? Superboy? Like Superman but younger and better looking? I must not exist in your universe if you haven't heard of me. [The only other possibility is she just hasn't heard of him and that's ridiculous.]

[ Now she's just annoyed. Why is she stuck here with a guy like this. WHY. ]

Must not be that big of a deal where I'm from. I've heard of the other guy, though.

Uh, yeah, I definitely don't exist then. [There's a wave of grumpy feelings that seep into the link with those words.]

If you work with a Robin, there's no way your team wouldn't have heard about how awesome I am. World's Finest and all that.

[ THIS GUY ]

Robin's never mentioned you. Sorry. Can we talk about something else now? Something that's, oh I don't know, actually interesting?

[ like how pointless everything is and why the world should burn only not really because that would be bad, and other generally angsty things teens of their generation like to grumble about? ]

Dude, don't you think figuring out the deal with each other's worlds is interesting? I mean I guess it doesn't really matter but it's crazy weird. [That grumpy feeling continues to cling to his tone, setting into a sulk. He bites back the urge to point out that her Robin is probably the first Robin since all the teammates she'd mentioned had been part of his team's. And they're all old in his world. (By which he means in their early twenties.)]

[ Just more worlds for her father to conquer, so... no. She does not find the idea of other worlds out there interesting. She just finds it sad. ]

It sure is... something.

[ she feeds on ur sulking, give her more!!! ]

[He sighs across the link.]

Okay well, how about this, what's your Robin like? [If she's not going to get them started on anything, then at least he can confirm what he already suspects.]

He Robin numero uno or what?

Is he the original Robin? As far as I'm aware, yes.

[ Out of all of the Titans, Robin probably irritates her the least, so. Yes this is a safe topic. ]

Yeah, figured. He was in my world too. Your Robin I mean. I mean the Robin that led the first team of Teen Titans was the first Robin. Which, I guess you weren't on? The you in my world. She was on the first Robin's team but it wasn't his first team—why is this so confusing? [His head hurts.]

Whatever, point is we don't have the same Robin cause the guy who was the first Robin in your world was also the first one in mine. Probably? I mean I guess it could be someone entirely different or things could have gone in a different order...never thought about that...

What's your Robin like? Or hey, you said no Wonder girl but what about an Impulse. You got an Impulse? Arrowette? Secret?
