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.

Don't think I'm blaming you for this mess. Trust me, I'm not.

...Kyle, huh. So your dad wasn't around either, then.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

My father didn't even know he had a kid up until I was seventeen.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

She didn't...

He was still alive?

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Far as I know he still is. I mean he left New Gotham after..some stuff went down, but I used to get the feeling he was keeping tabs on me.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

I still don't understand why she'd keep it from your father. And your grandfather too, I'm guessing. And how they couldn't figure it out.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

I don't think she wanted me to grow up like he did. She gave up the Catwoman lifestyle when I was born, and dad was a big part of the vigilante circuit.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Who was you father, Helena?

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Uh. Bruce Wayne?

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Any younger siblings?

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Unless Batman had some other illegitimate kids running around, it's just me.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess I really can't see any version of me making the same mistake twice.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Fuck, that came out wrong. I didn't mean...

I'm sorry. I'm not very good at this. Whatever the hell this even is.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Hey if I were under the impression I was a planned kid I'd have to wear a special helmet and ride the short bus.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well... let's just say nothing unplanned ever happens when my version of Bruce is involved. And there's no way I'd ever be able to hide a kid from him for seventeen years if need be.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

So the, uh, bun isn't his, then?

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

I guess similarities start splitting here.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Guess so.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Actually. You're not metahuman, are you.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

No. Not meta- or super- or any other prefix. Why, is she?

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Lucky for her. I've always done just fine without.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

I don't doubt it.
