[ And with a certain man of iron confirmed and Jason namedropped, he scoots over to his implant conversation window with Jason while also booting up his OurPowers post to keep an eye. ]

Already tormenting the locals.

Too late, you weren't invited. Which is a shame, because it really was a time

[ Sorry Damian but you're absolutely going to have to tell Jason about that one time you very almost did a nice normal thing for your family only to trip and fall into nonsense at the last second ]

Still in Central?

I'm meeting Tony at the Diadem. If you want to pay a visit to the most cursed town in America, I can pick you up on my way back.

[ His bike's not going to get him cross-country in precisely one second in the same way Stephen now can, but he'll leave expanding on that until later. ]

Yeah. Will you wind up at the Diadem eventually or should we set a place?

[ The implant having conveniently picked up on this version of Earth's GPS network, it's easy to drop him a location pin. A little coffee shop by the name 'I Can't Believe It's Not Coffee'.

They literally do sell coffee. It's a head scratcher but the owner gives him free drinks and discounted pastries and somewhere to sit without receiving any furtive, often suspicious stares, so. ]


Sometime within the next couple hours. I'll let you know when I'm done at the Diadem

[ Stephen arrives and clocks Jason immediately - an odd feeling, to see a familiar face he's not seen in months, one from a world that wasn't his until it was. No doubt he's been noticed right back: Stephen, for his part, looks barely a little older but so much less harrowed than he was in the time after the Aerie. Hands still scarred, no sign of a lightning scar creeping out from under the collar of his shirt.

Too bad for Jason that he arrived first or Stephen might've asked Perry for a second free coffee. As it is he keeps his cool long enough to wait for a latte, accept it with a laugh at a customarily stupid joke, then finally makes his way over. ]


You're in one piece. That's a strong start.

Good. The last thing we need is a sudden outbreak of avian attrition warfare.

[ Making himself at home with a chair pulled out and settled into, Stephen sets his cup down on the table and takes a moment to just. Look Jason over. But low and behold, he looks fine, if strange now against the backdrop of a 21st century American coffee shop. The pause breaks with a sucked in breath, Stephen shaking himself out of the easy drift into memories of another world. ]

Where are you staying?

[ Not the Diadem, obviously. First things first: get everyone settled. ]

Not if it means the guy's sleeping on the streets of Central City, no.

[ Look, Jason may be a big mob boss man, but he's also the these-days-baby brother of a man who has officially labelled himself Stephen's family. If that doesn't give him the right to give a shit, what will?

He does let it drop enough for the conversation to move on, distracted with a smirk by the guzzling of coffee. He can barely remember what it was like to really miss it now, the transition not having been so abrupt in his case, but he definitely drinks more of it these days than he used to. ]


I'd rather I didn't, but I'll be ready to referee. You want another?

[ He has a feeling Jason may soon find himself on the brink of the shakes, but who's he to deny him the sweet bean nectar? ]

Depends. Will you still be a pigeon?

[ Pigeons: the rat of the bird world. A.k.a he hasn't, in fact, dropped it. An equally sincere (fake) smile and he leans back over his shoulder, calling over to the little place's owner for another coffee. "Coming right up!" is the peppy response, and then he's back in the convo. ]

I have room when you need. I don't think my place is your scene, but it's better than the ground.

Yeah? Which friend?

[ Truth told Stephen's spent relatively little time around his fellow Starfallen lately, so there's every chance they won't have met. But that leaves some chance that they will have, so it's worth the enquiry. He's interested to know what kind of a person a Jason Todd of pre-New Amsterdam fame would've deigned to call a friend.

Or perhaps that's only a title he'd reach for now. All the same, the curiosity's there.

Meanwhile, Perry behind the counter issues a too-fun "One coffee for Strange!" and Stephen, rolling his eyes in fond disparagement, throws a thanks back at him and flicks his fingers in the air. The coffee floats on over to them of its apparent own accord, settling on the table in front of Jason.

Oh, right. He's a wizard now. ]

[ Oh.

Right. Stephen blinks, recalibrates, then - smirks a very self-satisfied smirk. ]


Regained something old.

[ Surprise, he was a wizard this whole time. ]

[ It's not a surprise that Jason takes that in stride. By the sounds of things, his world isn't so unlike Stephen's own: this shit happens.

Speaking of... Green Lantern. As hero names go, that one has to take a cake. ]


You Robin Hood the mafia then repurpose them, how high's the bar?

[ Jason's good, that much is irrefutable, but that doesn't mean he can't be playfully sassy about his methods. A sip of scalding coffee as a prelude, giving just enough time to either let guards down or to pull them up for the inevitable - ]

So you'll stay on his couch?

[ Turns out he's not going to drop this one, actually. ]
