Are you in Metropolis?

Are you in trouble?

The Goddamn Nightwing is on the case!

Oh look, there's someone on the edge of that building that Dick should probably talk to.

Nightwing apparently ignorse him.

Until he lands behind him with a sound, anyway. We specify making-a-sound here because it is certainly not normal for Nightwing to do that. Almost as if he were looking to get attention.

Tim doesn't look. He knew Dick was there. Or will pretend he did. "Nightwing."

"You're not the one from my world," Dick says, with certainty. He's spent far too long watching his own Batman not to recognise him. "But you're from a world where I exist."

Thoughtful.

"Not Sparrow's, then."

"I'm from your future." Tim still isn't looking at him. But he does doa quick sweep to make sure no one or thing is within earshot. "Dick."

Dick's lips tighten, just for a split second.

"How far?"

He's not going to say Bruce, because anyone as well trained in body language and with as sharp an eye for physical detail as Dick can see that it isn't Bruce. The mannerisms are familiar, but ... he's not going to jump to any conclusions.

They might freak him out too much.

"He'd better not be from your world. I don't like him. Murdering asshole."

Sparrow kicks Batman in the shins.

"About 15 years or so." Sounds about right anyways.

Dick frowns, edges of the mask drawing together.

"You're not me. Too short. And you're not him. ... How long have you been wearing the cowl?"

"About 13 years or so." Tim glances at Nightwing now. "Someone had to take it up after the Crisis."

Dick swallows. Two more years?

"What happened?"

"Darkseid." Tim turns back to watching the streets again. "He used the anti-life equation to take over the world. Including most of the League. Some of us fought back."

"I've got to get back and stop it, then."

Simple course of action.

"You weren't there." Is that an accusatory tone? Maybe, just a little. "You had your own problems, your own villains."

"I would have been there," Dick says, face creasing slightly around the mask, in bitter and too-old pain. "If you'd asked me, any version of me, I'd have been there in a heartbeat. Even if you're not Him."

"He's not anyone, he's got a gun!"
