I thought this alternate reality crap only happened in those comic books that Gibson collects.

I don't need to apologize to the guy I punched in the face when he tried to stick a needle in my arm, right? Didn't think so.

So I'm supposed to be looking for people I know on here, I guess. So, Barbara, Dinah, if you two are out there, let me know? Although I guess Barbara's probably out. If she were she would've figured out a way to reverse that wacky portal ten seconds after she passed through it.

Everyone else, since I should apparently socialize, hi, I'm Helena. I'm not interested in being your bff so don't ask. Is there a bar around here that's hiring? If I'm gonna be stuck here a while I'll need work. And booze, but it's kind of a cycle.

You'll probably fit right in then.

Selina Kyle. Welcome to the end of the world and etc.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

...Are you really Selina Kyle?

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. From the comics, not the movies. My reputation proceeds me yet again?

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Uh. Yeah. Something like that.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Don't believe everything you read.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

It's not-

I knew her. You. In my world. Not the movies or the comics.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

...ah. One of Bruce's alternate Earths, then. Hopefully not the one where I was a prostitute.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

You were-

Actually nevermind.

No, you were Catwoman.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

That's a "knew" and a "were" I see.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

You were Catwoman. You quit the whole gig a while back.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, I was pretty much headed that direction in my Gotham too. Pregnant and all.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

And interestingly enough, Helena was the name I'd settled on for a girl. Funny, that.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Helena Kyle's a good name. I should know.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

So now you're claiming to be...

I swear that if this is someone's idea of a joke, someone is getting their face ripped off.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Not so much claiming as am.

I don't really think there's any way to actually prove who I say I am, since besides the Catwoman thing I don't know if DNA would bridge the gaps across time and space.

The fact that you both chose the name Helena though is kinda something.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

I suppose it is.

You'll forgive me if I'm not exactly thrilled about this. The whole epic multiverse deal was never really my thing.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

No kidding. I had trouble wrapping my head around all the shit that went down in New Gotham some days. This is a little much.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Plus, I hadn't really planned on dealing with alternate reality kids of bartending age until I was at least in my thirties.

New Gotham? Do I even want to know?

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Not as exciting as you might think it was. There was an earthquake. Old Gotham is pretty much buried under New Gotham.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

I was there for the quake and a little of the aftermath. It was still just Gotham City, though. Not like the whole thing was leveled.

Do you still need a babysitter if she is already grown up? She's just as petty as her mother!

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

...I'll keep you posted.

And if you meant pretty, then... thank you, I think.
