Out back, by the lake, Jericho is going through his practices. From one pose to another, shifting his muscles to hold himself steady for minutes, before shifting to a new one. He's got so much to think of, and this really helps him. Changing the future. His present. Can they do it? Will he notices the difference?

He crouches down, sets his hands against the ground, then pushes up, until he balances carefully on both of them. He lets his legs seperate, down to either side. And then he pulls one hand up, balancing on the other one. Can he do this? So many saved, but will it work?

Will's enjoying being back in Milliways and after sparring with Remy decides he wants a swim, but ends up fascinated by the odd poses.

So stands and watches from a little to Joseph's side, not wanting to disturb the man, who seems to be part acrobat.

(OOC: Yahoo hates me today, so not available that way)

Joseph glances at Will, a smile on his face. He uses his spare hand to wave hello to the new fellow.

[will_scarlett]

Will returns the smile and wave, "'ow do ye keep yer balance like that, ne'er seen any but acrobats do that 'fore?"

[silentson.livejournal.com]

Joseph actually manages to pull off a shrug. He just, balances, thats all.

[will_scarlett]

The shrug is sort of an answer, but Will's not sure the best way to ask more questions,

"Dinna mean to disturb ye, just rarely seen folks move like that outside the fair tis all."

[silentson.livejournal.com]

He pushes off with his hand, and ends up tumbling to the ground, sitting on his knees. He waves hello to Will.

[will_scarlett]

The wave is returned again, the silence slightly unnerving Will, but just smiles at the easy movement,

"Me name's Will Scarlett, dinna think I've seen ye round the Bar a lot."

[silentson.livejournal.com]

Jericho clutches his throat, mimes speaking, and then shrugs again. But he's smiling.

[will_scarlett]

The smile helps and Will relaxes again, "Aye, must be troublesome in a place like this where e'eryone talks."

[silentson.livejournal.com]

He shrugs, and pulls a pencil and pad of paper from his pocket. Writing works wonders.

[will_scarlett]

And luckily Will has been learning to read since this wouldn't have worked for Will a few months ago. So he sits on the grass near Joseph, curious to learn more.

[silentson.livejournal.com]

He writes. My name is Jericho.

"Pleasure to meet ye, Jericho, are ye named after the city in the 'oly Land?"

There are too many people inside. Normally Barbara doesn't mind, but things aren't exactly normal these days. It's hard to get around in the chair outside, so she's not far from the back door, but she is rather out of the way. She needs to be alone, she needs to think.

It's rare for her to feel doubt, but she feels it now. Should she be doing this? The potential gains are nearly unthinkable, but... who is she to play god?

Introspection has never been her strong suit, which may explain why her usual situational awareness is nonexistent. She hasn't even noticed Jericho.

[silentson.livejournal.com]

Jericho, however, notices her. He's been having several of the same questions, but, somehow, after the fact, it feels more like it should happen. A world thats doesn't have to live with so much, death, so much pain, so much- The world needs this.

So it is that he grabs up his backpack, and makes his way over to Babs, smiling as usual.

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

When she looks up, her own smiles is only slightly uncertain. "Hey, Joseph. How have you been?" She notices the backpack, but doesn't ask. She can't quite bring herself to.

[silentson.livejournal.com]

Pretty good, actually. He shakes the backpack at her. You freaked yourself out good.

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

Barbara laughs, "It's good to know I haven't changed that much. Is she... happy?" It's not a question she'd expected to ask, really. Not something she often thinks of.

[silentson.livejournal.com]

He glances away from her, out towards the lake. Being mute, he reads body language rather well. I'd love to tell you yes. But I don't think so.

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

She swallows once then smiles a smile Joseph can probably tell is fake. "Well, I can't say I'm surprised."

[silentson.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone is happy. He ticks them off on his fingers. Robin is sad Sueprboy is Gone. Wondergirl is the same. Cyborg is upset at what has happened to the Titans, Raven is sad in general, but she usually is Miss Martian seems upbeat, but she's covering fear and anxiousness, Kid Devil seems to go off an mope a lot, and my sister... Is the child of my father.

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

"It's odd. My files don't show some of those people in the Titans. Especially not your sister."

She shakes her head, "But that's why I'm doing this. I may not be able to make everyone happy, but I can try..."

[silentson.livejournal.com]

He goes bright red. Sorry. Future. Stuff.

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

"Oh no. I didn't mean it as a criticism." She grins, "I mean, I did sort of ask you for help with future stuff, after all."

[silentson.livejournal.com]

He slaps himself in the head, so forgetful. He rummages in his pack, then offers her the box she gave him. The she in the future. Gah, time travel tense.
