[Dick Grayson]

I know you have enough on your plate right now because of the situation with Damian, but when you have the time I would like to talk. About several things, really, but the most prominent point will probably be our marriage.

I went and checked, and since you're back with your memories, our marriage license has been officially renewed.

[Damian Wayne]

How long has it been since you've come over?

Who's that boy?

Why haven't you

[ Okay forget it, she's crossing out that filter and giving up on it. Not ready yet! DIAF Clark Kent. ]

I have some news that's ridiculously unimportant in the big scheme of Paradisa Announcements, but it's been enough years that I think I can be happy to say that I got a promotion!

I won't bore anyone with the details of why [ because they involve a death that happened awhile back and that's just a debbie downer ] but I've been acting as temporary assistant-manager at the restaurant for awhile now, and they were supposed to find a replacement. But the acting manager admitted to not wanting to be in that position, since they had originally just been assisting.

So I'm now officially the manager of Il Cappricio. ...Like I said, it's not a big deal, but I'm celebrating anyway. If anyone wants to come by the restaurant tonight, drinks are on me. I'll be here late finishing up the paperwork, anyway.

It shouldn't matter. But I'm curious. I wonder what he's like.

[In the future, he might be asked to babysit... Oliver will tuck this curiosity away until that day.]

He's probably from an alternate future -- [Look, he's a bit tired of all the turn left moments this place creates.] -- and if I learn anything, I'll let you know.

Why do you assume that?

He said he was out of the Phantom Zone and as far as I remember, that isn't exactly simple to do without letting other things out too. I doubt Clark would put his son there.

The Phantom Zone...

[ Her knowledge of that is based purely on her notes from her last stay. Otherwise she would be so clueless right now. ]

Even if that's true, you don't know how he got there. Look at everything that's happened in Smallville alone. I'm sure there are several different ways it happened.

I'm just saying we shouldn't assume until we know for sure.

[ That means go ask Clark. ASAP. ]

[He'll try to get to it but he can't just pounce on the guy and ask him about his future baby daddy status.]

I'll see what I can find out. I'm not going to rush it though, but as soon as I know -- I'll be sure that you know.

What about you? How are you?

I'm fine. Dick Grayson is back, but I'm trying to give him some space as his memories come back. I guess it's not all at once like one would hope. Not that one really wants to remember everything about this place in one session.

I know, we spoke. I...thought he had gotten them all back at once, though.

Should I be careful what I say around him?

I'm not sure, but I've heard mixed reports from different people. I think it's just a lot to have a duplicate set of memories be slotted in all at once.

He probably just needs to let them settle into place. I wouldn't think it would be cause to censor yourself. The memories will come at their own pace and hiding things from him would only make him more cautious.
