[ This place is hard to handle for anyone, let alone people like them, people who are used to having a finger on the pulse of practically everything going on around them, and Dick figures that it's an even harder adjustment for these two. Barbara's been here long enough to sort through it all, to the extent than anyone possibly could, but Bruce just got here, and even with the most knowledgeable source here to help that has to be a hard pill to swallow. There's not much that he can say that would make it easier, but at least they're here together, and they'll work through this, because that's what they do. Especially when there's so much at stake. ]
I'd say that you get used to it, but... I haven't yet. [ He says it in a lighter tone, but it's true. Knowing that Barbara does understand this place so well, and that she's entrenched herself into every location and system she's come across so far, means that he's been able to take all of this in stride much faster than he ever would have been able to do on his own. ] I think it's just one of those things that you have to take one day at a time.
[ They definitely don't have much of a choice. ]
Have you met any of the others yet?
[ Damian. Jason. Both of them. More names, familiar but not theirs... He doesn't know that this is 'his' Bruce, and maybe Barbara doesn't yet either, but the immediate impression is overwhelmingly him. Maybe not from the same exact time, but the more he's looking at Bruce's face the more he's sure that there are far more similarities than differences. ]
