Crash Landing! (open)
It's raining in San Francisco this pleasant afternoon. And while there are not many people out, there's more than enough to point up and stare as clouds suddenly part. A swirling vortex of green light appears in the sky and just ripples there for a few moments. And then suddenly...

BOOM

There's an explosion from the vortex and something gets sent rocketing into the air from it. The vortex snaps shut with another BOOM as some rather large chunk of flaming metal flies into the city and smashes into the street. About two blocks of pavement and several cars are damaged before the mass of metal stops in the street.

This could be bad...

	"If it helps any, when this has hit family with Legion time jumps and the like, they've reappeared at moments they disappeared as often as not, so maybe no one will even know you're gone, or its temporary. Who knows, maybe next it'll be my turn to go help you with robo-Luthor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I really hope you're right, Jon..." Tim trails off. "This whole alternate dimension thing has me a bit freaked out to tell you the truth," he says quietly. "I've never really been away from family or friends for that long before..." he trails off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can understand that, but you're still not away from family. Just a side of the family you don't know as well. Who knows, it might not last long. Take your time, get familiar with the place, see what happens. And if I can help you out, let me know, ok?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tim is quiet for a few moments, just thinking this over. "Yeah...just gotta hang back and scope things out. Hope for the best...maybe I'll get back home," he says, trying to convince himself of this. "Just two things right now...know any good places to eat around here?" he smiles. "And...since I'm gonna need a new codename while I'm staying here," he takes a deep breath.

"Tell me what do you think of the name 'Power Boy'?"

	"Hmmm, I bet Power Girl would appreciate it... and I think it works fine. And... I don't live around here, just flew in from Metropolis. But I bet the Titans can recommend something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That's where I sorta got the idea," Tim admits. He then gives Jon a blank look. "Dude, you don't know all the best places to eat around the hero bases? Man, this universe is weird," he teases a bit. "I guess I'll ask the Titans then..." he trails off. There's another pause. "Umm. Okay, I just remembered this but...there's not gonna be any problems with me wearing the S when I'm in costume, will there?" he asks. "Cause I finally found a costume I like and don't want to chance it and Dad is really protective of the S back home..."

	"Why would there be a problem? You earned it back there, good enough for me til something shows otherwise. And its not mine anyway, I'm just trying to live up to it." he replies easily. "As for the restaurants... I don't eat out often. I can cook... and I kind of spent most of the last year and a half in deep space, not here. I missed a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tim shrugs. "Just making sure. I mean back home this guy was wearing it and being a huge jerk and Dad really kicked his ass. Like...the only other time I saw him hit something that hard was when Giganto almost killed Mom," he shivers at that memory. "Yeah," he smiles. "Living up to it," he agrees, having similar feelings about that shield.

"Deep space? Was something wrong up there?" he asks, looking up. He's tempted for a moment to X-ray vision but he lets it pass.

"Yeah, it obviously means something, or is supposed to. Dad is pretty protective of it too... just me and my sister of this generation. And no... nothing wrong in space, specifically. There was a lot going on, but that's typical. More... making the rounds. Meeting the New Gods, visiting Tamaran, getting to know my way about, and spending some time around where Krypton used to be. Educational trip, and some soul searching. Quiet out there."

	"You've got a sister?" Tim's a little surprised. "Cool." Tim's silent as he listens to Jon, again surprised that Tamaran is around to visit at all. "Yeah. Really quiet. Good place to go to just think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, a couple years younger, she takes a lot more after mom, good kid. I'll introduce you - I should introduce you to this universe's Conner, and dad, and the rest of the family anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	superpowerboy 2010-04-28 08:55 am UTC (link)
	Tim nods. "As long as it doesn't like...freak 'em out, that'd be great. Seeing some familiar faces..." he trails off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm going to wait a few days and see if its a short term thing, or give you a chance to get a little more comfortable if you'll be here a little longer. When you feel comfortable with the idea, I'm sure they'll cope fine. We've had our share of weirdness to deal with before." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	superpowerboy 2010-04-28 09:03 am UTC (link)
	Tim nods. "Yeah, good idea," he says. "No offense but I'm still kinda hoping that I'm about to hear the alarm clock go off and find out I'm late for school," he forces a joke. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-04-28 09:05 am UTC (link)
	"I don't blame you, this has to be really overwhelming. If you don't though, you're not alone here. And the Titans will show you around here and make you comfortable as long as you stay, I'm sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	superpowerboy 2010-04-28 09:11 am UTC (link)
	Tim smiles. "Thanks, Jon," he says. "It's good knowing I'm not stuck here on my own," says. "I just hope I don't annoy the Titans," he chuckles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You have a Booster Gold and Blue Beetle in your world? Well... they have their kids around here. In comparison, you'll be fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	superpowerboy 2010-04-28 09:14 am UTC (link)
	Tim does a double take. "Wait, what?" he asks, eyes wide. "Blue Beetle...and Booster Gold...have kids?" he asks, shocked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-04-28 09:15 am UTC (link)
	"Oh man, you're in for some fun around here when you meet Dinah and Riley." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	superpowerboy 2010-04-28 09:16 am UTC (link)
	Tim blinks a few times. "Okay, this universe is crazy..." he trails off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-04-28 09:16 am UTC (link)
	"What about it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	superpowerboy 2010-04-28 09:19 am UTC (link)
	"Just," Tim shifts his stance a little. "Well it's just really weird finding out Blue Beetle and Booster Gold of all people have kids here after..." he pauses. "Well, they're sort of...with eachother where I come from. In the sense that my team and I walked in on something that most of us would rather not have." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-04-28 09:23 am UTC (link)
	"Ahhhh, ok. Yeah... they're not here. I mean, there's rumors, but they eventually settled down and got married... well, Booster remarried, after Gladys. Dinah is a Titan now, anyway, and where she goes, Riley follows." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	superpowerboy 2010-04-28 09:25 am UTC (link)
	Tim nods slowly. "So at least there's a Blue and Gold here even if they're really different," he says. "Wonder what other weird surprises I'll be running into." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-04-28 09:29 am UTC (link)
	"From what I've heard, universes can go all sorts of directions, it sounds like you'll find plenty of differences - but probably a few similarities too. The main groups of folks our age are the Titans here, the Young JLA, and then the JSA trainees. Not sure who would be best to give you an overview... of the people here, Cerdian, maybe."
