"And hey," says Trouble, "whatever else is going on, I still have arbitrary magic."
"Whoa. I've never gotten to watch that happen in real time before," Glass says, blinking at Trouble.
The transition is nearly done; he has skipped straight past the wandering phase and gone into - something else, something that comes between 'wandering' and 'retiree'.
"You just changed phases. Sublimated them, practically, you skipped one."
"Like... mm," he says, considering. "Deciding that if Bella's too freaked out to save the world, I'll do it."
Glass doesn't comment on whether that seems likely to her.
"Assuming I'm not being had," says Butterfly, "I think I'll be okay to do it after a few days, tops, to decompress." Wryly, "It's sort of my specialty."
"A few days to decompress is easy," Glass says. "I wonder who else you have besides a Joker. I can run a sweep and see."
"I'd - rather find that out myself and do it myself, I think."
Trouble is pretty sure Zeus was one of Rhea, but he doesn't see any point in bringing that up right now.
Glass whisks Butterfly away.
It takes Trouble freecasting back to Milliways to reopen his door, plus a little more teleportation and time dilation, but he gets Robin into the bar and goes back to the asteroid to snuggle Harley some more.
The door opens. Butterfly is not on the first floor. "Stairs are to your left," says Jane.
