"I can't say this is unusual."

The fact was that aliens existed. Amazonians, Atlanteans, Metahumans. The concept of reality slipping and another version of himself, or even someone he knew, was hardly as mind bending as it would have been a few years ago. His mind sometimes struggled to remind itself that this was all reality now and again. That hardly meant that reality wasn't what it was.

A younger Catwoman. It brought back certain memories better left tucked away.

"The man inside the car--he's not dead, is he?"

"Unusual isn't what it used to be."

He might be taking this all in stride but she was looking over him so critically. That jawline was something else, and the suit looked like armor more than a symbol. Much like Gotham, the man was more utilitarian in appearance. This place was not her Gotham but he fit in just fine.

Older, more gruff and grizzled than the man she knew but as soon as he asked the question she had to laugh at his similarity.

"No, I toy with my prey a while first."

"You shouldn't prey them at all." The Bat gives a frown of disapproval -- perhaps one she is used to. Regardless, he takes those last few strides over towards the car and looks inside it. "You're new in town, aren't you? My town. This Gotham."

"Please, these guys hurt people. Innocent people. If anyone deserves it it's them." Give her that look all you want, she's still not cowering.

"I get the feeling I'm old and all of this is new. My Gotham doesn't look like this at all, but I still knew where I was." Weird right?
