[He is taking this way too seriously. D| Oh well, Billy gave it a shot.]

I never said you were. But that's how it is in my world.

[teenwonder]

[He's had this talk with a lot of people. Sometimes they don't treat it as kindly as Billy does.]

Well your world is wrong.

[selfhelp]

So correct me, if I've been misinformed. I can only tell you what I've seen.

[This is not rocket science, Robinbro.]

[teenwonder]

You could still be lying. [And Billy shouldn't think Robin won't still be trying to figure out a way to scare Billy into absolutely telling every inch of truth that can be squeezed out of him before he wets himself.]

[selfhelp]

Sure, I could be. So basically you've got two options: you could hear me out and correct the mistakes my world's managed to make about alternate-you, or you could keep it to yourself and stew silently in the fact that I've got it all wrong. Either way, it's your call. I won't pry.

[No skin off his back, even if he is curious. After a moment's pause, his expression softens and he glances over at Robin.]

I get that you're frustrated. I don't know how I'd feel if somebody came up to me and said there was a comic book all about my life. I know it doesn't really compare, but this is weird for me too.

[teenwonder]

I'm not frustrated. [He's fuming and suspicious and trying to analyze Bily's mannerisms for common signs of lying. Which is totally different from being frustrated.]

But it's not exactly polite to go on talking about me when I know almost nothing about you. [You know. Polite like hanging people out of windows.]

[selfhelp]

[Actually, the window-hanging is exactly why he's wondering why he should tell Robin a damn thing.]

You're the one who said to tell you everything, remember... but fine, what do you want to know?

[teenwonder]

You can start with the flying. [That totally killed the effect he was going for.]

[selfhelp]

You've seen me teleport. Is flying such a big leap of logic for you?

[Seriously, that's just the tip of the iceberg for is magic, bro. Practically the first thing he ever learned to do.]

[teenwonder]

Not a leap. It's just interesting. [If he can do more than one thing, then he's probably not a mutant. He'll have to review the correspondence between Billy and that Richards woman to see what insignificant things might leak more information.]

So what else do you do?

[selfhelp]

[Poor, clueless Robin, he doesn't know enough about mutants yet.]

Honestly, my powers are all over the map. Flying, lighting bolts, force fields, location spells- I just kind of... make things happen by wanting them to happen. Like magic.

[Ha ha.]

[teenwonder]

"Like" magic, or actual magic? [Because Magic is most definitely a real thing. It's also generally a thing that's slightly out of his league. Not that it would stop him from trying one way or the other.]

[selfhelp]

Okay, sorry, actual magic. It was a bad joke. I can't really explain it better than that- I don't know much about my power. It's still pretty new to me.
