"Clock's countin' down to that fast," she says with a chuckle that has no real humor behind it.
She looks away for a moment. Her mom's been trying to get her to talk about the Titans. Everyone's suspicious, and she's seen them giving each other looks when she mentions her days with the team. They notice the gaps and the things not said, but the doors are there for reasons. She doesn't want to know what's behind them. Why should anyone else know?
"I was kind of homesick when I got up, so I went through a portal and found another Gotham. And it was Halloween, so I... I tried to be a normal person, because that's pretend dress up for me. I talked to Dr. Thompkins, 'cause her clinic was near the portal, and she was worried about kids getting hurt trick or treating... drunk drivers and stuff. There's nothing funny about that. And I had my old communicator, but... they never answer. Not even in a different universe..."
Hey, who's the mime?
"People forget, and they forget being a hero isn't always big saving the world stuff. But I had a backup plan, right? I was the only Titan around for the new world so far, so... that should mean it's ok for me to start things up again."
Some psycho who used to hang with the Titans. Duela Dent. The Harlequin. She thinks she's the Joker's daughter. Or is it Two-Face?
"So I called Enigma, and told her to get the others and we could get the tinies in on it too cause it wouldn't be over their heads. They couldn't get Jon out of his room though, which is sad. Halloween's always been especially his, but he's just not ready yet."
I live for the laughter, I live for the crowd. Without them I am nothing. What am I?
"And we split up a bit but it was fun, and we got candy too," she waves a hand at the bag. "But it... it kind of felt..." Wrong. Off. Like she cheated. How could she start a new Titans team when they didn't want her. When all she could do was get some of her younger relatives to show up because there might be free candy.
Look, Creepella, you take the comedy show on the road - or I'm gonna get tough.
"And we got home and that's when they told me Mom was going to get him... Jason... out next. And I was happy at first, cause I miss him bunches and it meant they weren't upset any more, and Mom thought it was funny and I was just taking after her in falling for the most screwed up guy I could find, and I told her I turned Roy Harper down... And... and then a bit later..." Too many things brushing against too many memories, and they just started to sneak their way open on her and refuse to shut.
"And then I came here, because... I dunno." Because she'd just ran and then she'd been by the Sign and why the hell not...
Duela suddenly bolting from home in a state of mental breakdown hadn't gone unnoticed, as there's a blond woman listening from behind a tree. She hadn't wanted to interrupt when Duela was actually talking about this, but... "Oh, baby girl..." She'll just make her way over to hug Duela. Even if that means hugging Mordred too.
