Don't think so. His Nygma was here, kind of... enabled him. They were-- [look she's gay but she still doesn't really want to think about that relationship. cass waves a hand.] Different now. Don't think he... remembers before. But still. He's... trying something. Old tricks. Had Jason check it.
[She winces, automatically.] Sorry. But... [They're so young. No matter how much time they've spent here, no matter how long they've been heroes anywhere.]
...If it's between a couple of teenagers, though, I'm glad it's you two.
Right, sorry. [She has to laugh, a little.] Perfect memory, and I keep forgetting. [Or maybe she just wants to forget all the time Cass has been without her, in their world an this one.]
[ she huffs out a soft little laugh at the first part. ]
Let's try. [ as for the rest... ] ... I get it. It's--I was unsettled. Before I came back. There was a... different Bruce here. Did things differently. I didn't really... trust it, either, but. Hasn't been a problem.
[ cass's mood perks up a little more just at seeing the effect saying that had on barbara. and honestly nolan baby bruce was almost worse, barbara. you're not missing much. ]
Fairly. [ she scrubs a hand back through her hair. ] The hero names, anyway. ... Might... see about letting Unsettled heroes in? Since there's... Aegis Force, now.
Back home - no one on the League even knew I was a member, at first. Save for Bruce. [Wistful, a little bitter, but not sheepish.] Probably harder to play that game here, though.

And... thanks. We could... use your help, though. On the League. If you're, um, interested?

...I'm still Unsettled. Would that be an issue?
no subject
... Maybe. I think there's a rule. Don't remember. [ blughhhh. ]

I...it's hard to decide which is more useful. If the trade-off is worth it. [Then, because it's Cass - ] If I'm being pragmatic or just paranoid.

Or reform, rather; ever since they did those tests, she's been writing up possibilities.
Then her expression turns pensive, and a little envious; it would have been nice to meet a Bruce who wasn't...how he currently is.]
...Do you know anyone who's gone back and forth? Unsettled to Registered and back again?
no subject
No, but-- it's allowed. Know that much.

She nods, tapping her lips.]
I'll see if I can find out more about it. ...How public is the League's roster?
