Got a question.

[There's a very casual way about the way he's sitting in his bed, legs stretched out in front of him. There's very little to show off right now, but he doesn't mind announcing himself.]

And honestly, the sample base seems like it's mostly gonna be robots, but I'm not counting you out. See, I don't doubt that we can all be pulled from our worlds and even from different times. The science works out, but I want to make sure that there's more cases of it.

See, there's a pickle here, and it's in the shape of someone claiming he knows me. I want to make sure he knows me, and not just some other-Earth version of me.

I think we all know that there's no telling these things for sure. Of course there isn't. But I'd like to start lining up the cases.

[There's a pause where he shrugs in an almost dramatic fashion, as if he's trying to make it seem like it's no big deal and just a thing he wants to know. He doesn't have that big of a stake in answers, except for the part where he has too much of a stake. The contempt in Robin's voice was almost too telling.

Jason doesn't like it.

He does go on after a moment:]

For those of you who don't know about that, or don't give a damn, I'd like your take on this. C'mon, let it out. Vent a little. I think we could all use it.

That's sort of the idea, yeah. Someone from my future, supposedly, but who knows, right?

[For all he knows, the kid is some wannabe, but Jason knows that's wishful thinking.

And what does it even say that that would be wishful thinking?]

Why aren't you interested in finding out for sure?

I don't know if she's from the future or the past or what. I don't really care. I could believe it either way.

[A long pause, as he tries to figure out how to lock this down.]

Because she's supposed to be dead.

Huh, dead?

[See, that's exactly the thing. He manages to carefully look stunned, as if this isn't a similar situation on his end.

Any Robins should have a distinct initial reaction about him before they move on to the other stuff. And going off what that Robin said ...]

Well, lucky you for your happy little reunion.

Yeah... long story.

[That he isn't about to share, and he waves a hand dismissively at the congratulations.]

I'm not sure why I'm so shocked about it. It's not like I didn't know time travel was a thing.

And people coming back from the dead. That one happens often enough, too.

But maybe that's just my world.

It doesn't exactly happen infrequently in mine either. Same world?

You got the Justice League?

Nope. [But he can imagine what that might be.] Avengers or X-Men?

Nope. Neither ring a bell.

I'm going to go with 'no'.

Not that unsurprising.

Sorry, bro.

Nothing to apologize for. I'd say it's even preferable.

[He tilts his head to the side, raising his eyebrows slightly.]

Ennh, yeah. Actually. It's definitely preferable.

What, don't think you wanna run into me again? I made that bad of an impression?

Huh?

[ He sounds genuinely confused. ]

No, I was thinking it was kinda nice to have a convo without a steaming pile of judgment. It's all about me, not you.

[There is some irony here, but Jason's not going to make it obvious.]

Well, here you are. You can chat with a whole lot of robots who probably won't care about that.

[Have a grin, complete with a tk-tk sound of his tongue flicking off his teeth and both index fingers pointing.]

The fact that Drift turns into a sports car is only a bonus.

[Playing it like he didn't say anything about getting judged? Playing it like he didn't say anything about getting judged.]

Is that what he turns into? Too bad we can't actually drive 'em.

[ Hey now, Robbie saw him first. ]

Drive him where? There's nowhere to go. Ugh. [ He cringes at the bad, unintentional pun. ] That one'd not my fault. I didn't name the station. I'm not even going to touch driving somebody though.

Unless they need to be driven because their fuel ran out. And that sounds ... likely.

[Of course, he'd try to drive Megatron first.]

That Energon goo? I've been keeping an eye out for it, but I haven't seen any. But how do you plan on driving them if they're out of gas? Sitting at the steering wheel while the rest of us push them back to their quarters doesn't count.

[ What does Megatron do again? ]

See, the hypothetical scenario I just produced mostly had to do with them taking regular gas if they were out of mystical robot gas.

[There's a logic in there. He knows it's bullshitty, though.]
