       “--Right Teen Titans.” That was a thing he never got to take part off--almost wished he could’ve joined and been around heroes his own age, but Batman becoming a part of the Titans was laughable. The Justice League had it’s own drama and adding teen angst to the equation sounded disastrous. “Sorry not entirely well versed on every superhero in the database yet.” Wait should Batman really be admitting he doesn’t know something? “Ahem. Disregard that. Its nice to meet you, Terra. I’m er...y’know Batman.”

      “I know you think I’m more than ready to join the Justice League permanently, but I don’t feel ready. The old man and Gotham still need me.”

       Again when was he ever wrong? Winning the lotto was a better bet than trying to prove the old man wrong. A real walking--talking encyclopedia.Not a damn thing this old coot didn’t know about--or thought he knew about anyway. An incredibly annoying trait, Terry’s learned to live with during the months he trained under Bruce. The teen can hardly contain the hard roll of his eyes, debating whether or not to challenge Bruce’s statement. Ah he had time to kill, why not? “--So you keep saying, but I think that’s a load of bull. You can’t be right about everything all the time, old man.”

       “What do you want, Bruce...If you’re here to tell me how badly I messed up on my last mission you can save it. I know I’m stupid for letting the bad guy get away."

        “--You come from the future?” For once in Terry’s life the shoe was on the other foot. “What brings you to the past?”
