An unfamiliar figure stepped through the door, and it was clear from her posture that she tensed the moment she realized that she had not arrived at her intended location. She was a rather small, lithe little thing, but it was clear by her build that she was no idle girl. Instead, her muscles contributed to her lean figure that stood out in her form fitting black shirt and pants.

Blinking, the black-haired girl warily observed her surroundings. This was definitely not her training area. The door had already closed behind her. This, indeed, was a mystery. And although solving a mystery wasn't her area of expertise, she decided to explore a bit to determine her location.

Stepping carefully, she peered around, trying to disguise her obvious curiosity.

( Mun will be leaving for bed at 11PM, so expect slowtime then. )

Kon raises an eyebrow. "What? Why wouldn't I know it?" If his brain worked as fast as Tim's or Bart's, he'd realize quickly that she's obviously from a different time... but it's going to take him a little longer. He just doesn't ponder the mysteries of Milliways like that.

"Never met..." She said, scrunching her face up in apparent confusion. She had a very good memory, and from what she could recall, they had never met before. Sure, there was the possibility that Robin had told him, but Cassandra somehow doubted it.

And now it hits him. Okay, so maybe the bar -did- have it out for him. Because one of the most incredibly cool female vigilantes is in the bar... yet she doesn't know anything about him yet.

Stupid. Weird. Bar. Time.

"...I've heard about you." Kon finally says, not wanting to go the Bart route about this.

Cassandra nodded at that. That still made sense, in a way. She still suspected that superhero network thing.

"Robin...tell?" He seemed the most likely canidate, considering the fact that he was the Bat that interacted most with other superheroes.

"...Yeah. Yeah. He seems kinda fond of you." Kon just hopes Tim wouldn't mind the lie. And that she won't ask him about it, because there's really no way to tell the past Robin to stick to the script.

Little did Kon know that what he said was true. Robin was fond of Batgirl, respecting her for her natural skills and helping her with her verbal ones.

"Robin...nice," she told Kon, nodding her head.

Heh. "Very nice." Not that he would tell her how much he agreed on that point.

"So do you know where you are?" Had she been here before?

Cassandra recalled what someone had told her when she had first entered the bar.

"Milliways...?" She said, recalling the name. And something about the end of the universe. She still wasn't sure about that part, though.

"Score ten points for the Batgirl." Kon grins. "But do you know what Milliways -is-?"

Cassandra huffed a little.

"Bar." She wasn't going to mention the end of the universe thing, because it was still a silly notion for her at this point.

"A weird bar. You better remember that, or it'll turn you insane quick." Like with Bart. Oh lord, Bart.

"Weird...?" That word could mean a lot of things, Cassandra had learned. And it could fit her life, too. She wasn't exactly normal.

"Like meeting people from your own future or past."

Future? Past? But...how was that possible? The furrowed brows seemed to express these questions without her actually saying anything.

"Yeah, I don't know how it's possible either." Kon sighs. "But, after a few rounds of meeting one of my best friends when he knew stuff about my future, I got used to it."

Well, it would certainly take her a while to get used to it. The fact that someone could know her future was...disconcerting. And her past? Well...she didn't exactly like that concept, either.

Cassandra frowned as she thought about the possibilities.

"Yeah, I know. It's kinda weird. But you get used to it." Kon shrugs. "Somehow, it becomes normal."

"Not...good, though." Especially with her past. She didn't want someone hating her because of what she had done as a child. Or hating Cain when they didn't really understand him. It was complex.

"Not good? Why?" Kon raises an eyebrow. "Is there something you don't want people to find out?"

A shot in the dark.

What Bat didn't have something they wanted to hide? They lived in the shadows for a reason, after all.

Cassandra didn't answer the question, and just...averted her gaze. It was obvious that she had something to hide.

"Well..." Kon says finally. "If someone tries to reveal the stuff you don't want anyone to know, just tell me, and I'll kick their ass."

Which was just a stupid suggestion, considering who she was. But hey.

That managed to draw out a small smile from Cassandra, though.

"Thanks..." She told him.

"No problem." And he'd won a smile from Batgirl. -Score-.
