[ well, she can't help smiling at how steph all of this is. just gonna start stroking her hair, nbd ]

[ some corner of her mind is like "the ice cream's gonna melt" ]
It's just... are there rules for this sort of thing? Maybe someone's written some etiquette book? How to talk to your ex-boyfriend from another universe after you just started dating his sister? And I feel like I'm supposed to know how to handle it cause hey, Batgirl, and hey, in an alternate universe right now, but... it's different.

... Probably have to, sooner or later. [ she considers. ] He doesn't know me, either. [ and how she feels about that isn't immediately relevant, so, ] That... might make it easier? Less... baggage.
I'm not so sure. Less baggage, definitely, but then we also look like weirdos who know everything about him. Or... maybe we don't? He did seem pretty [what's the nicest way she can say this] different on the network.

He's a baby.

Yeah... yeah, he is. Although maybe we shouldn't lead with that when we introduce ourselves.

Sounds like a good idea to me? Tell him he has a big sister. Introduce my girlfriend. Call him a baby. Great day for him.
