[She looks away, uncomfortable. It's a relief knowing that Robin now remembers everything, but it's troubling too. The problems back home seem more urgent than they have in a while. Cheshire, Red Arrow, the mole...]
[ He runs a hand through his hair. It's a discomforting idea, and one he hasn't had time to give much thought to. ]
You know what's weird? I didn't remember a thing about this place. I'd always planned on telling Batman, bringing the League, getting everyone back home, but... it was like it never happened.
[ It has Robin pacing, his cape billowing behind him. It's beyond frustrating: he feels powerless, like he's being played and he can't do a thing about it. He needs a plan, and he's coming up empty. ]
I'm sorry. I should have better news than this, I should've accomplished something, I can't— I can't figure out what to do.
[Because that doesn't sound totally lame and hopeless or anything. But hey, there's already been one hug and that is one hug more than Artemis is generally used to.]
[She weakly returns his smile, suddenly feeling exhausted.
She hasn't had much sleep since Robin's disappearance, though she has no intention of telling him what she and Kid Flash did while he was gone. Let Wally try to explain that.]
Yeah... [She rubs her face] There's that stupid virtual training thing tomorrow.
[She suddenly remembers that Robin will now actually remember the first stupid virtual training thing. That's... kind of nice, actually. At least she's not alone in remembering.]
[ Too soon, Artemis. That's always gonna be too soon. Sure, she died, but he's the one who wound up with blood on his hands. Robin visibly winces and then tries to cover it up with a grin that's just a little too sharp to be okay. ]
[She senses that she stepped over a line, but she doesn't know how to fix it. She's not sure she would know how, even if she was operating at full mental capacity.]

[Because if he'd known about it and not told them? Dick move, Robin.
har har]... But that means there's nothing we can do. We're stuck here until they decide they're done with us.
[And even then, they could just decide to bring them right back. They would never know when their life was about to be interrupted by another world]

That's a lot of pressure to put on some very narrow shoulders.]
Hey! Stop that. Stay traught, remember? Don't start blaming yourself because it's not your fault.
