Hey D, you know what's really weird about the language thing you did to me? Well, okay, not what you did to me, but you know what I mean. The little bit of you, of Endlessness, I carry around.

It's the fact that I know all these languages now. Actually know them. I mean, unless I'm actively thinking about, say, English, most people just interpret whatever I say in their native tongue, and that's cool as fuck. But if I want to, I can just turn on German. I never knew German before.

And what's more, I know how the languages work. Do you know what a gerund is? I didn't, not until I was bitten by a radioactive Endless! I know all this grammar stuff now. Which I probably should have known at some point in the past, given that I was a journalism major, but that's neither here nor there.

I don't think I was even this fascinated when I developed my first set of superpowers. Tits are wonderful, don't get me wrong, but singing the Star Spangled Banner in Maori is just a party.

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.

Do you know dead languages too? We should try having a conversation in Carian. Maybe Marsian. It sounds pretty.

Yes I do! I know languages I shouldn't even know. I know fucking Tamaranean. And Martian. And French.

Yep. Every dialect thereof.

X'hal! You are the first Earth human I have ever met that can speak my language!

[insert Tamaranean ramble here]You are most intriguing Jason Todd. It is odd that a Robin that is not mine can speak my language.

[Tamaranean] Nightwing speaks it, more or less. [/Tamaranean]

[Tamaranean]Yes he is also not my Robin. My Robin does not speak it either, at least not in the fluent sense. I am sure that he understands a few words, as I use them...frequently.[/Tamaranean]

I speak a few Earth languages as well. Japanese and English primarily, but I have learned others.

[Tamaranean] I'm very aware of which words you use frequently. Where I come from, I stayed in Titans Tower for a while, and you and Dick's room was right across from mine. [/Tamaranean]

[Tamaranean]I am blushing most unbecomingly. You are incorrigible, Jason Todd. My Robin and I did not do anything in our Titans Tower. But not for lack of trying on my part.[/Tamaranean]

Ladies love French. That's just a fact. Plus all the cunning linguist things I can say about myself now.

I guess this is where I say I ain't much of a lady then.
