Magic portal through space and time to another part of the country?

Must be Thursday.

I'm Barbara Gordon. Hello.

	Barbara Gordon? As in Bruce Wayne's intern? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's me. Though I was an intern a while ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How much time is in that "a while"? Sorry, it's just that I recognize your name from my world, so I'm trying to see if anything else matches with the girl I met. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe ten years ago? Something like that. Let's see. I know Bruce. Redhead. Wheelchair. Computer teacher. Any of that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lane 2013-12-20 04:45 am UTC (link)
	Ten years? Yeah, not my world then. Two out of four at least. Definitely a multiverse thing then. Sorry about that, I just had to be sure. I'm Lois Lane-Queen by the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do a lot of work for Bruce, but it's not quite in the intern category. I guess it's a good thing that I'm used to odd things, or that would sound crazy. But now it just sounds like another day at the office. Nice to meet you, Lois. I do believe I've met a version of you as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The one I met was barely out of her teens and Ollie introduced her to me as an intern. She seemed nice enough though.

On the plus side, at least this office is less crazy and more cozy. Nice to meet you too. I'm not surprised you've met a Lois, apparently my alternates make a name for themselves across the multiverse. It's both amazing and strange all at the same time.

	Ah. It's definitely been some time since I was out of my teens. That's always good. Have you been here long then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lane 2013-12-20 06:34 am UTC (link)
	Going on four months now, give or take. I can't believe it's been that long actually... It's not as busy as Metropolis, but it's not bad either. At least no one is trying to kill everyone or dominate them, at least as far as I've noticed. It just takes time to get used to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	usedtobe 2013-12-20 07:00 am UTC (link)
	Four months? Wow. I guess I'd better get used to it. Ah no, it's definitely not as busy as Gotham either. I haven't been in a small town before. I hope it's wheelchair accessible. That's a relief to hear though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There are people that have been here longer, but the place seems to send you back randomly too. Ah, Gotham.. another city I don't exactly miss. Small town life is so.. small. And confined considering the situation. I've had to start knitting to keep busy and most of my articles at the paper are fluff pieces or generic small town shenanigans. Thank god for the internet, otherwise I think a lot of us would go even more stir crazy. Or maybe that's just me...

	That's interesting to know. I'm not sure that I miss Gotham either, even if it's home. It must be pretty small if you're taking up knitting. I doubt that it's just you. Unless you're used to a small town, I'm sure it will drive anyone nuts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lane 2013-12-20 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	Knitting isn't too bad actually and I can't believe I said that. Storybrooke has a nice charm to it, but you have to watch out for the uh.. oddities. People were turned into different genders a while back, they were turned into their costumes on Halloween, and apparently the Grinch is currently in jail. And yet it still feels small townish. Go figure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	usedtobe 2013-12-20 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	I'll keep that in mind for when I start to get bored. That's some crazy stuff. It almost feels like being back at home. Almost. We didn't have the Grinch though. Unless you count Bruce. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If all else fails you can try to ruin people's day by changing wikipedia entries about yourself and see what happens. Speaking of which, most of us are famous around here in some form or another, so you might want to avoid looking yourself up online unless you can take all the good with the bad that you find out.

	I'll remember that too. Thanks for all the advice. I guess that means everyone knows who I am. That explains some things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lane 2013-12-20 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	It's no problem, I just hope anything I give is of any help. Oh, I'm sure there are plenty that don't know you, or at least won't make it a big deal if they do. Of course, there are some who might, but that goes with anything in life. So it might take some getting used to, but if you're already used to weird things, it's not a terrible transition.

	Any little bit helps. I'm glad to know it before I wake up as a guy or see Rudolph and don't know what's going on. That's good to know. Thankfully I'm used to the weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lane 2013-12-21 06:38 am UTC (link)
	I don't know about Rudolph, but I did run into Hermey the dentist elf the other day, so I know he's around somewhere. Then you'll probably do perfectly fine around here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're in comic books, in my world. And this world. It's pretty creepy at first, sorry. I probably shouldn't have just blurted that out. Nope, you don't know me, promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So I heard from Lois. That's definitely odd. Me in a comic book. It's okay, I don't mind. Even if it's weird. I'm not quite used to people knowing my secrets. (Reply to this) (Parent)
