Guessing we should start dream journaling, then, huh?

[ he worries at his lower lip. ]

Did he mention what they do storage-wise? Is it actual storage or is it more like 'lets do some expirementy crap while you're out'?

Bad news on the journal front, Rob.

I -- didn't think to ask. I just assumed they meant storage-storage. See -- I was kind of a rush job, and I don't think I'm as well made as Conner is -- I was attempt thirteen, right? When I was about a year old, we found attempts one through twelve. They're -- none of them can survive outside the tank, so they're just there, waiting, until we have the science to fix them. So ... this all just seems so normal to me, I guess I didn't question it.

[ womp. ]

How bad are we talking?

[ he listens to kon talk and quiets during the explanation, frowning a bit. thirteen? thirteen? his head spins a little at the thought, trying to remember back to when they found supey. the other clones they'd met. ]

Do you remember when you were originally in your pod? Back when you were being made? [ he's not so much concerned with if kon questioned it or not - there's too much of a time gap between them that rob can't even begin to know what he's gone through, what's happened. ] Was it the same kind of technology?

Were you here when Red Hood decided to test out what happened when you wrote live on camera? Because -- yeah.

I do. It's a bit fuzzy, and I don't remember all of it -- Westfield telling me I was gonna be the next Superman. A few snippets of Looney Tunes cartoons. The knowledge the scientists fed me. The room my tank was in, a couple of the faces of the scientists who worked on me ...

It's not exactly the same, but I can't say it's not the same 'cause the second time I was just awake a short time. I have to say that in my tank I was surrounded by fluid, and so I had to have an oxygen mask on. I don't remember that, or being hooked up to the computer interface.

[ he goes quiet for a moment, then. ]

Yeah, I remember. [ he remembers the joker's laugh, remembers everything. he shakes himself out of those memories, though, when kon keeps going. ]

Okay, so we don't have to worry about Luthor Tech hanging around. [ because that's where his brain had gone. ] And you know, the Looney Tunes makes a whole lot of sense. [ is he grinning? probably. ] Thanks for the update, though, that's actually really helpful.

I am so glad you waited until you'd ruled it out to share that theory with me. Ugh. [Kon is still not over Luthor.]

Age appropriate knowledge, okay? They were age appropriate for ... whatever age I was.

Hey, it doesn't happen often, but occasionally I produce something useful. A pleasure.

[ no one is over luthor. ]

I just needed to make sure, dude. You never know. [ it would be luthor. it would. but so far, none of his bald head, so they're safe for now. ]

Next time you think you've got something, you know where to find me. [ a pause, because suddenly things are getting really awkward. ] I'm guessing the other Robins know too?

I think it's more 'next time I've got something, alert you so that you can find me.' I stand out a lot more in the shadows that you do.

[Pause.]

That is a surprisingly good question. I assumed yes, because you guys know everything, but that might not necessarily be the case.

Point taken.

[ he takes pride in his hiding abilities thank you!!! ]

Are we going to need to start up on the weekly meetings again, because I don't think I want to start calling them all individually. Pretty sure one of them still hates me.
