The journal was tucked under Linda's arm as she walked slowly through the lobby of the admittedly gorgeous castle. Nothing was attacking her, and it really did all look perfectly innocent. You know. By gorgeous castle standards. Like she knew anything about gorgeous castle standards.

She didn't even remember that she was in costume until she felt the blonde hair of her wig brush against her neck as she turned her head. How did she get here? What was she doing an hour ago? And what sort of freaky magic did the journal use to make sounds and images come out of it like some sci-fi fantasy mishmash? She didn't want to mess with it until she was sure that there weren't any angels, demons, or otherwise divinely affiliated entities involved in her arrival here. Somebody else was the Earth Angel of Fire now, right? So they had no business with her. Not that that had ever stopped them in the past.

She gave the suspicious once-over to every person she passed in those luxurious halls. Where they a part of whatever this weirdness was, or just like her, lost and really confused? And now that she thought of it... she was totally going to get fired if she didn't find a way home soon.

[ooc | She'll been wandering around, so feel free to meet her anywhere on the first floor of the castle inside or out! ]

Alvin Draper. Ok. She would just have to assume that was some sort of code name, from the way he said it. The rest took a little more time to process.

"Okay, so, why?" Feel free to answer any number of whys left implicit in the question.

"That's the million dollar question. No one's figured out why the castle, Paradisa, drags us here. There are theories, but no solid fact." Doesn't hide any of his annoyance. Not being able to crack a mystery like this is driving him nuts.

"The residents here are from different universes. Some of us are from the same universe, but we come from different points in time."

Linda shares in his aggravation. She thought she was done with all of this complicated world-wide nonsense after she left the Garden of Eden.

"So wait, how do I know you're even Robin? How do you know I'm Supergirl?"

"Because the two of us have fought alongside demons before. I was mind controlled, so a lot of it is still blurry for me, but I remember."

Since she's had direct contact with him as Robin, and Cass doesn't make much of an effort to conceal who she is, it would only be a matter of time before she figured out who he was. Tim might as well get that out of the road, so they can focus on other things.

She grimaces, but not at him.

"Yeah, that was not fun. And you might not remember the time you and your pals phased a flying car through my stomach." Technically she had been a different person then - or at least an extra person.

"That was you?" Flashes her an apologetic smile. "We got up to a lot of crazy things in Young Justice." Sometimes it baffles his mind to think that they actually happened. Then again, these days a lot of the events back then don't seem so strange, given what has happened in Paradisa.

"A lot of strange and unexplainable situations happen here. Sometimes, the entire castle transforms into another world, or we end up in space, or some other bizarre occurrence takes place."

Her shoulders relax, and she didn't even realize she was tensing them. Yes, he must be the same Robin then. She may not like what he was telling her, but she could trust that it was true. She even smiles back, though it's a bit wry.

"Considering my entire life up until now, I was sort of hoping I would get a break from the strange and unexplainable. How dangerous is it?" Hopefully her powers would come in handy, at the very least.

"You and me both." Any tranquility in Paradisa is often deceptive, because usually something disruptive and dangerous is looming in the background.

"Day-to-day life is pretty safe. However, in the seven months I've been here, there's been a giant Earthquake, we've been teleported into space twice, and we've had our manipulations and memories messed with." Which reminds him, he needs to explain what losses are to her.

An earthquake she could deal with. Space, not so much. Messing with her memories... Well that was a problem for another time.

"When you say teleported into space..." She trailed off, hoping he would provide some explanation for how that had worked.

"I mean one second I am asleep, the next second I wake up on a spaceship. A lot of bad things happened there." A lot of things he doesn't want to think about. It took his mind months to fully recover from what he experienced on the ship. "Bringing it up can be really painful for some people."

"Oh," she supplied intelligently, some verbal confirmation that she understood and wouldn't press the matter. At least he had mentioned a spaceship, and there was no immediate pressing concern about suffocating.

Time to change the subject.

"So, uh, who else is here? Is it just the two of us?"
