[For someone who just showed up in a completely different universe, this young voice sounds excited. If someone were to see him, it would look like he’s talking to thin air, not realizing he’s being recorded. Surely Superman’s super hearing can hear him, no matter where he is. Mommy Lois did it before!]

Daddy Clark! Daddy Clark, I’m back, I got out! I don’t know how, but I’m not in the Phantom Zone anymore! I think it’s just me who got back... I don’t see any other rockets or people from there and I made sure to stay away from everybody else.

Uhm... [The slightest bit of worry and hesitation creeps into his tone.] I’m... not sure where I am. I don’t think this is Metropolis... There’s a really big castle and a little town nearby. Mommy Lois said if I ever got lost that I was supposed to stay in one place until you found me so I’m gonna wait here. And don’t worry, I haven’t used any of my powers! I’m keeping them secret ‘cause there are people walking around who can see me if I do.

Oh, I found this really cool book too! It writes down whatever you say! Maybe Mommy Lois can use it for writing her papers or taking notes when she interviews people.

[There are a few moments of silence as he waits for an answer. Then...] Daddy Clark...? You can hear me, right...? [The tone is growing increasingly worried.]

I've never heard of you...

What...?

[Chris]

[knightprodigy]

You haven't, huh? What about [he drags the words on, bearing in mind that he is talking to a child still] Batman or Nightwing?

You see how this entry is marked for you and only you? That's so nobody else can see it. Pretty cool, huh? You can do they same, too. All you gotta do is scribble or say my name aloud before you start your message.

I met Batman before... [Sounds a little hesitant at Batman but then his voice perks up a little] and Robin too!

Did I do it right...?

[Chris]

[knightprodigy]

And Robin, too, huh? Sounds you know all the big leagues.

That's it, you got it. Good job, Chris.

[Dick Grayson]

[childofkrypton]

He taught me how to do all sorts of stuff and that you don't need powers to be able to do it. He was really cool.

[Chris]

[knightprodigy]

[Dick sounds amused.] He's alright, but someone had to teach him everything he knows.

[Dick Grayson]

[childofkrypton]

Didn't Batman do that?

Glad he didn't teach him how to be scary...

[Chris]

[knightprodigy]

[Figures, the B-man gets all the credit.

Dick chuckles at Chris' comment.]

Well, he had some help.

[Dick Grayson]

[childofkrypton]

Help with what...?
