"It's true. You should be thinking of grades and sleepovers and prom. Wait do high schoolers still do sleepovers?" Bruce never went to high school. Or middle school. He doesn't talk about it much because he felt like an outsider enough during those years. That being said, he would've hated high school and he knows that. "The point is I wish our worlds were safe enough it didn't have to happen, that you could have a normal life."

Bruce sighs. "I really don't know. Because Nat's been here a few times now, from different points in time, and she doesn't remember it. And she didn't remember it ever happening when she was in our world either. Maybe they put us back in the timeline exactly as we originally were." And that means, more or less, the people they are here, the experiences they had, would be gone. Which was a really depressing thought, honestly. For better or worse, the experiences made them who they were, so these versions? Could just disappear as if it never happened. "We don't know how it works yet though."
