You saw the world I came from, Strange. If I didn't consider myself, I wouldn't be alive. This also isn't the first time I've had to deal with an enemy like her while having nothing to my name.
To be clear, I don't expect to be actively included in whatever it is you three choose to do. I know our approaches differ and I highly doubt your brother is going to like the idea of involving me in your personal business.
[ this one time in stopping loki from murdering ojiro camp, I spoke at his brain and we haven't really had a reason to talk since
which brother? he's not saying the name "Matches" out loud that's an affront to his own self respect ]
But if an opportunity arises for me to get into her head, it's in everyone's best interest to facilitate a way for me to take it.
Besides that, I'm the only one of you she doesn't know. If you need that, and so long as I can fortify against it jeopardizing the security of anyone else if I'm compromised, I'll do what I can.
[ he's going to go ahead and assume jason, because jason is the one who likes to make enemies. dick makes friends who would gladly die for him and can't stay out of his business. ]
That's my intent. I'll keep you informed of anything you may need to know.
[ He folds his arms. Hesitating a moment before he says anything else.]
... I hope it goes without saying that what you saw while in my dream - or in my head - stays between us.
[ a huff in place of a smile - that was nothing - but it's absolutely pleased. before the dreams, there was nobody who knew what it is that he's missing. now, at least, a few. ]
I appreciated the opportunity to stretch my legs.
[ it's been a very long time. there's every chance he shouldn't have been having as much fun as he had for that brief time in Damian's nightmare of a world, but what can you do? ]
Even if that was the most stupid power set I've ever seen.
So theoretically he could've come at me with anything, but they put the power in the hands of a guy whose best shot was to go bowling and remember woodshop.

You are not expendable to the people you're trying to protect. You need to be aware of that and respect it.

[ he resists raising his voice. ]
Look - I know what will happen if I die. Even if I was brought back. I will live at all costs, and I know how to. Which is why I'm less vulnerable.

Alright.
Then the four of us will co-ordinate.

It does.

And for the record, I wasn't in your head any more than I needed to be to hear and be heard.

They're galatic police corps fueled by emotion. Anything they can think up, they can create constructs of.

I wouldn't say so. But I'll keep it on the books if you like.
