I... don't want to upset you or anything. I mean, apart from calling you 'Stevie' and making short jokes, but seriously, what happens if OUR Jason Blood doesn't know how to send you back? Or needs a few years to figure out which universe is yours? You don't want to end up in Vampire-Gotham by mistake, kid, you just don't. And who's to say that there aren't a whole bunch more out there that are more like this one? Pretty close on the surface and then you go deeper and just, no

...Barbara got hurt, here? That... didn't happen in my world. She's still Batgirl. She works with us even more than my you does. She practically lives at the Manor sometimes. She and my Bruce kind of have a thing... When did it happen? And how? Because there's no way that clown is gonna do that in my world, too. I won't let it.
And you're right--I want my universe. Not some wacky vampire world, or someplace where Commissioner Gordon is dead and people hate capes. If Jason Blood can't figure it out, or if it will take a while--fine. But you're not taking my Batman into account. He's looking for me, and he will find me.
So--I'm not ready to give up on the idea that I'll get home sooner rather than later.
Maybe it won't happen in your world, then. It was before our you became Robin, but after I left to become Nightwing. Basically, Joker had a theory that anybody could snap and become him after one really bad day. He then decided to test his theory by giving Barbara's father... one really bad day. He showed up at their home with a loaded gun. Barbara opened the door and he shot her in the stomach. Blew out part of her spine.
I've played back the logs from the time you spent with Jason in the cell. Your Batman may be looking for you... but have you considered the possibility that as advanced as his technology might be on your Earth... we're further ahead and OUR Batman doesn't know how to send you back?
Seriously, if you need help with academics, I'll try to make the time.

It's not like it matters. I'll have to relearn it all when I get to my world anyway. I mean--my grades here aren't even going to count.

No. I haven't. That's not even--he'll find me.
