I'm pretty sure I should go home. The City... has been a good place to be, a lot of the time, but it's not Gotham, and there are some people who just aren't here. But I'm not giving up my memories.
Now you can know what it's like to be a different age than what your body is. [Heh.] I want to go home too... I just don't want you to punch me when I try and kiss you after we get back because I'm keeping my memories too.
... Things are probably going to have to change, huh. [Doesn't sound too happy at that.]
Great, like I didn't have people telling me I acted like I was thirty already. [So dryly amused.] I definitely won't punch you. Even if I didn't remember... I still probably wouldn't, just saying.
Mm. What changes are you - worried about? [Because he can tell Kon is unhappy.]
Hey, maybe you can just take a test and actually pass high school now, get your diploma and all that.
[He raises an eyebrow.] You saying you were into me even before you ever got here? Huh. You're good at hiding things.
Well... You'll probably be in Gotham most of the time. I'll either be with the Titans or in Smallville. Doubt you'll have superspeed so you can't just zip over and I can't get to Gotham in a few seconds by flying... You think we can make a teleporter or something like that? [He squeezes Tim's hand.] It's just, we've been living together for three years. I'd... miss you.
[He just glances sideways for a second at that.] Yes, that's what I'm saying. And I'm very good at hiding things.
[He leans against Kon for a second, just a moment of reassuring increased contact.] I can get the override codes for the League's teleporter until I get one installed in my base, don't worry. And I might... reconsider coming back to the Titans. I'd miss you, too, otherwise.
Don't you just go spend a couple of hours taking a test...? [He isn't sure how these things work.]
[Awww, Tim. Grins a little.] You sure you won't get in trouble for using it for that? [Nudges him with his shoulder.] You're already back with the Titans where I came from in my time, oh great leader.
... [And his face falls because he remembers something else.] You're from before me... Guess that means you're going to have to wait for me to catch up and remember again... I'm sorry.
Yeah, something like that, but I don't know if Gotham's criminal underground will accomodate my schedule.
[Pfff he smiles slightly.] I'm pretty sure we won't be the first people using it for personal visits. In fact, I think Booster used it for pulling pranks at least once.
Don't worry about it. I'm used to waiting. This time, at least I'll know it's coming.
Do I have to start it all over again or can you work some technical magic and get me in as a junior? [Since he's probably a sophomore-ish right now if Tim's made him go here WHY DO YOU MAKE HIM GO TO SCHOOL TIM HE WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO.]
I don't care if the other Titans know. They're family. [Cassie might be a little upset... but he's been with Tim longer than he was with her by now. He'll always care about her but... it's different now.]
I could try but I'm not sure Clark would approve. Besides, if you start from the beginning you have an excuse for goofing off for a year but getting good grades anyway. [HE'LL MAKE SURE YOU STUDY AND GET GOOD GRADES, SUPERHEROES NEED EDUCATIONS TOO.]
It'd be... in front of them, huh? [Tim might be a little embarrassed, and definitely in need of a talk with Cassie, but.] I don't think I'll mind.
... Maybe it'd a better idea to kiss you in private, talk to them, and then kiss in front of them. [Because... yeah, Cassie would probably be really upset if they did that without saying anything about it first....]
Uh, probably... I still have a business to run as well.
Hmm. I think that might be a better plan. Are we going to explain... all of this? [Inter-dimensional travel with selective temporal points and memories WHAT DO THEY EVEN SAY.]

The second I remember, I'm going to give you a big kiss.

[He smiles.] The very second you remember, huh? That could be awkward.
