"Copy that."

"Too bad. We lost Wally, you, Ted Kord, and Tula. No one else dies."

"Oh, how horrible. I simply hate having to show my aiming prowess. But seriously, I've seen too many of us heroes die. I'm not gonna let Tim be one of them."

"I won't let him get hurt, Jay. That's a promise."

"You need a hand? Gothamites gotta stick together."

"Is Tim okay?"

"I think I might make myself the first occupant of The Homestead."

"My dad? He's an idiot. Not a threat."

"Nothing. I just want to help others. No one else should suffer because of our enemies."

"I don't want anyone else hurt by these "people.""

"I looked at the available data and made the best conclusion I could based on the logical data I observed."

"They will. Wally, I'm not just blindly coming up with ideas. I'm thinking big. I know this is controversial, but I don't see any other method of containing these guys. What other option is there? They need to be contained."

"I did. Places like Arkham and Belle Reve can't hold everyone."

"We put the freaks like Joker in there with the basics for survival. Access it with boom tubes."

"What else can we do? They'll escape, people will get hurt or killed, and the cycle repeats."

The Homestead is a pocket dimension to contain those who easily escape places like Arkham.

Artemis is working on a secret project. The Homestead.

"I'm glad."

"The past is behind us. The future is ahead."

"The one who hauls his stupid abusive ass in is me. But thanks."

"I just hate Sportsmaster. He wasn't the father of the year."

"Ain't that a bitch?"

"We're not different. Huh."

"Dad tried. Oh, how he tried. But I'm not the type to go along with that kind of stuff. I like helping people. Even if Lawrence didn't feel the same way."

"Oh, you're right! I should have had Mom deliver me to Coast City!"

"I grew up in Gotham. I grew up fighting."

"Can't let me win."

"See?"

"You want me to talk them into surrendering?"

"Wally IS loud."

"Agree to disagree."

"I break the jaws of thugs."

"How do you relax?"

"So what's on your mind?"

"Sure."

"I got nothing to lose."

((Raven reference spotted.))

"He was an ECW wrestler in the '90s. He had a kind of grungy cult leader gimmick. I'm using it to say that I'm feeling ignored."

@abyssbirdshadow.bsky.social //Like that Raven shout out?

"What about me? What about Raven? I mean, Tigress?"

"Kiss me like you miss me, Red."

"Easy, Einstein."

"You're a genius!"

"That's where we had our first kiss, after all."

"The Watchtower?"

"Yay."

"We can keep it small. Not even do a traditional wedding."

"We'll do it together. That's what we do. We'll find a way to get this sorted. I am scared as well, but I have faith in us."

"Focus! We'll take it slow. One step at a time. Okay?"
