We have a tiny problem as far as travel goes. The Onyx Express and Pidgey Airlines are for special occasions only, apparently, so I'm going to have to take the long way to get to you.
I think I'll go through the cave that leads from Mahogany to Ecruteak, and see what to do when I get there. Play it by ear. I'll keep you updated as I go along.

[And he's gonna try his best not to be a little annoyed, cause he's definitely not excited about it having to take her two weeks to get there.]
Hey Steph. Sucks about the Onyz Express and Pidgey Airlines. This whole transportation thing is getting to be really obnoxious.
I've actually done some research, and I can get teach Boy Wonder Fly if I can get to the Cianwood Gym. And I have to go through Ecruteak to get there. I can get surf while in Ecruteak too, so it might just be better to meet there?
I've got at least another day here for the tournament. And after that I don't know if we're going to wait for Artemis to get here before moving out or not. I need to talk to the rest of the team.
So basically it's up to you. I need to talk to the team before I can give you legit answers about traveling, but it might be easier to just meet in Ecruteak if you don't want to have to backtrack?
Sometimes I miss cars. Or having a teammate with Super Speed. [Frustrated!sigh.]

Ecruteak it is then. I met a girl named Heather who said she'd help me out once I got there. We're gonna talk to old men in robes like in the Kung-Fu movies, and look at kickass scenery. Maybe we'll meditate under a waterfall too, or something.
Work things out with your team first. You guys ought to stick together.
I can take care of myself, pinky promise.
And you have no idea how much I agree with you. If I had my Ricochet, I would be there in a few days, tops. But I guess I'll be taking the road less traveled by.
Just remember: wax on, wax off. Yeah? Yeah. I always figured that's how he did it, you know. [He being Batman, btw.] But I could never catch that stupid fly.
Oh, no, we will. Artemis is actually here, so we just need to wait for the tournament to be over.
[And he's going to get an eye roll for the pinky promise, but he's still smiling.]
Dude, if I had my bike...ugh. That's why I need to get BW to learn Fly. But that trip in itself is going to take forever. So not whelmed.
Oh! I never asked you about your starter! I got Bats here. [He points over his shoulder to where his Zubat is flapping around happily, and out of everyone, he hopes she understands the irony.]
No worries, I couldn't either. Though in my defense, I wasn't the grasshopper to Bruce's Master Po for very long.
Artemis is on your team? [ A nod of approval. ] Gotta love a spunky blonde. She's a girl after my own heart.
[ A snicker and an eyebrow raise. ] Tell me BW stands for Boy Wonder, and you will be my favorite.
[ But her smile fades into an annoyed look. ] I got a Houndour, but I'm pretty sure it hates me. He's a menace.
I call him "Damian," [ She smirks a little at the private joke. ] which I think he likes, if the fact that he hasn't bitten me again is anything to go by.
How long did you last? [Actually kind of curious.]
You know, for some reason I thought you two would get along. She's...interesting. [He doesn't really want to go into his trust issues with her or the fact he knows she's been lying to the whole team, not yet. One because he does like Arty, he really does, and two, well, yeah. Maybe he'll have some deep-talks with Steph after they actually, you know, meet in real life.]
Um, duh. [Now he's grinning, because she will understand his brilliance. Of course she understands.] And besides, I thought I was already your favorite.
Houndour? Huh, those actually look really cool. He hates you though? Sucks, man. Totally not heartening. [And then he's quiet for a moment, frowning ever so slightly. Damian. His son.] Is he really that bad? Damian, I mean.
I screwed up early on, but I wasn't supposed to last. [ And that's that topic closed. ]
She sounds interesting enough to ask about later. [ Steph definitely agrees that they're going to have a lot to talk about. ]
[ She thinks for a moment, and looks almost...sad. ] No, he's just...it's complicated. He's not...He's got my back, and I've got his. I mean, when one of your parents is a supervillain [ And Talia Al Ghul, of all people. ] and the other is...the B-man himself, it's hard to be a normal kid.
[Yeah no, he's not gonna get into that. Nope. So he's going to move onto the next interesting topic.]
Wait...so...he's not my future kid? [SIGH OF RELIEF. But now he's curious.] You mean...Bats had a kid? You're serious? With who? Please tell me it's not Catwoman. Please.
What? No. Definitely not. I kind of lied earlier because I realized I'm too poor to know the Waynes, and I needed a cover. Pretending to be D's babysitter seemed like the best idea.
Uh-huh. I'm sure. You totally didn't think that I was your future wife, or that Damian was our son. Nope.
[ Eye roll ]
If I knew how Batman's mind worked, I would--no, actually, I don't want to go there. It's weird enough to think of him reproducing. [ Because saying sex in regards to Batman is just wrong. ] Bats have a thing for villains, or at least the guys do. I've managed to control myself, and not just because there's never any hot male villains. I have standards.
Okay, that I actually didn't think. [And he's gonna keep talking to keep himself from being thirteen and kinda awkward about the idea of being married to Steph what.]
Wait, are you saying I get with villains?
And really, it doesn't matter how hot they are. They're still psychopathic killers (most of the time). I mean, for Bruce that's part of the charm cause it's a total power trip but still. Ew.
Besides, didn't you date a Robin? Of course you have standards.
Uh, I'm going to put a disclaimer here that says talking about your future love life, what turns Bruce on, and my batelders sexy experiences in general is too disturbing to handle.
My roller coaster Robin romance, also a thing I don't like to dwell on. [ Because if she thinks about it too much, she has to deal with feelings. ]
Word of advice? Don't date batfamily. Or superheroes. Or supervillains. Or anyone who wears spandex.
But you're from the future. That's the whole point. You're supposed to tell me everything that happens, therefore creating a different universe all together. And then we create another Crisis. [And oh no, Dick, don't bring up Crisises (lol spelling?), especially when you don't know what happens to Bruce.]
I just don't think you've met the right superhero. We're not all crazy and we don't all, necessarily, wear spandex. Just a stretch-y, spandex-like material. And it's not like we can date anyone else, either.
I'm not too worried about the future changing. I'm pretty sure Superboy punched time and space back into whack before, so I doubt I could screw it up beyond repair.
[ sigh ] I guess I can spoil you a little.
You can ask me...two--three questions tops, and they've gotta be specific ones, or I won't answer 'em. Know that that's it for now, though. Choose carefully, young robin.
And I'm not exactly feeling the aster.

Any thoughts on this, Wonder Boy?

And no, not with Catwoman. Thank God.

No, no, don't answer that. That wasn't one of my questions.
[And now he's thinking. Cause if he only gets three he has to pick good ones.]
Hmmmmmm....does this offer have an expiration date?
