[ Barbara does have a small smile, more martial than at ease, for Dick's sliding into their bubble with all the easy conviviality of a charming conversation crasher. There's always something that relaxes the smallest tick between her shoulder blades when he's near, even if it doesn't make the circumstances less serious. (Even if she can see the places where the understanding of what she hadn't said, touching a little toward tension, has changed the corners of his smile, the hold of his shoulders.) ]

Dick's one of the more pecular circumstances I was talking about. [ She could be more apologetic for the awkward nature of it all, but it's brass facts, and she knows Bruce will want them ] He got here a few months ago. From maybe around a year before I was pulled from.

But there was an earlier version of him that came in at the same time, from the same time and place as me. Who also ended up skipping further into my, our, future than I've seen while here. Before he vanished from this place. And— [ Because it does bear putting out there, given what he'll figure out about both Jason's, and Crane, soon enough. ] —there was a version of him for an entirely other universe, where all of us were different in his history and current world circumstances, too, during my first few months.

[ A beat. ] I have charts and timelines for everyone.
[ Because, of course, she does. Who would she be if she didn't? ]
