Roof

[Kon spends a lot of time up high. He can, after all, so why wouldn't he? Today, he can be found sitting on the roof, staring upwards. It's not long before he takes off, flying higher and higher and higher and....

eventually notices he really isn't getting higher. It's like flying on a treadmill. He stays up for a moment, looking around Wonderland from above, before slowly going back to land on the roof. Well, it was worth a try.]

Network/Action

There's a beach! [Kon's grinning, shirtless with sunglasses as stands in front of the water. The day is sunny and beautiful, and Kon hasn't lived by a beach since he lived in Hawaii.] Why the hell aren't people swimming all the time? This is great!

[He plants the phone on a chair, making sure it has a clear view of the ocean before taking a running start. He whoops as he jumps up... and up... and up... flying until he's high enough to get an epic cannonball going. He emerges, grinning, and shouts:]

SUDDEN CRAZY BEACH PARTY. GET DOWN HERE NOW!

Mirror

[Conner Luthor adjusts his tie as he walks through Wonderland. He doesn't disguise himself as his Real. His dad would never forgive him for wearing the S without really good reason, and anyway, that's not how the Luthors do things. He's not Superboy. And if he were a superhero, which he would never admit, he certainly wouldn't wear that symbol. He'd be way smarter about it.

His motivations for being on the Real side today are to gather information. For his Queen, of course, but also for himself. Information is power, almost as much as money is. And observing can only get you so much. Talking to people, winning them to your side... that's where you can really win. If there's anything his dad has taught him, it's that you can only punch so many problems away. Luckily, his dad has also taught him how to be good at solving those other problems. Even with money not being a factor, he's pretty sure he can do well here.]

Mirror

[mrsarcastic003]

[Tim almost--almost--doesn't give the young man a second look. He notices him, of course, but immediately classifies him as "young man in suit who I don't know," and starts to walk by, then stops when he registers the actual face.

It's Kon.

Sure, he's not dressed in the costume, and he looks a bit older, but Tim has been collecting superhero secret IDs since he was nine, and it would be pretty embarrassing if he didn't recognize his own best friend, no matter how he's dressed.]

Uh. Kon?

[cloned]

[Conner turns towards him, raising an eyebrow.]

Conner. But nice try, Tim. [His brother, though not this one. Still, a useful connection, provided he can get Tim's trust. That could mean pretending to be his Real, but any Tim's going to be too smart to fall for that, and despite his Luthor DNA, Conner isn't the best liar.]

Kon would be... my Real, correct?

[mrsarcastic003]

[Tim blinks a few times in surprise.] ...Yes. I suppose. Kon is my friend. And... it sounds like you're not him. It's nice to meet you, Conner.

[cloned]

And you. [Conner offers Tim his hand for a firm handshake, though it's not unhumanly firm thanks to hours of practice.] The Tim on the other side of the Mirrors is my brother.

[mrsarcastic003]

Brother?? [Tim is shocked enough that he doesn't even remember to take his hand away from the handshake. He's trying to figure out how that even works. He's an only child. He's always been and only child, and Conner doesn't look anything like either of his parents. He just looks like himself, if more nicely dressed than usual.]

Can I ask how that even works?

[cloned]

[Conner gives him an amused look at the shock.] My Dad adopted you. Obviously. Aren't you supposed to be really smart?

[mrsarcastic003]

[There is a very large part of him that wants to bristle at the jibe in Conner's tone, but he's too busy trying to take the rest of it in, and feeling like he's somehow missing a huge piece of this puzzle.]

Your dad.

[Clark finally decided to step up? And what the hell does that have to do with him?]

[cloned]

[Conner nods.] Lex Luthor.

[mrsarcastic003]

What??!!

[cloned]

[He sighs, rolling his eyes.] I knew you'd be weird about this.

[mrsarcastic003]

[...Knew he would get weird. The whole situation is weird, and that is not Tim's fault.]

Conner, I live with my father [sort of, aside from the boarding school thing], in Gotham. There is nothing about your story that is not completely insane.

[cloned]

[Conner gives him an uncomfortable, sad look.]

Your father... your birth father, anyway, died. I'm sorry.

[mrsarcastic003]

[That stops Tim. Of course something would have had to have happened, in order for Tim to be adopted by anyone, but.]

...How?

[Because of course he can't help poking at that wound.]

[cloned]

[Conner grimaces. He may be Luthor's son, but he's also Kal-El's, and he still doesn't like delivering bad news.] Look, obviously it happened differently for you. Does it matter?

[mrsarcastic003]

I don't know. ...Is it something I could have prevented?

Roof

[realitywarped]

[Loki's mapping the building, or at least as much of it as he can, and the surroundings, and the roof offers a good view of the latter, at least until movement catches his attention. He's tried a lot of things to get out of Wonderland, although flight isn't one of his abilities, so he watches the demonstration from his corner of the roof with mild interest- at least until nothing happens. He's not sure if that was the plan, or if the other person intended to go somewhere, but it's possibly information to gather.

And it never hurts, making the acquaintance of people with powers you may need later, except when it does and then knowing the powers of the people who may want to engage in a little Loki-beating is always handy. He stays on his own side, raising his voice.]

Did you find what you were looking for, up there?

[cloned]

Not really. [Kon lands and looks over at the other guy, giving him a nod.] Sort of hoping there'd be a way out, or at least some kind of clue of how I might get there. But turns out? After a certain point you just... stop going higher. It's frustrating as hell.

[realitywarped]

Hel's far less frustrating, I find. Being so trapped, on the other hand, is certainly aggravating.

[He's always found a way out of the afterlife, at least, whether it's got one L or two. He offers a nod back, and settles on the edge of the roof. Powers, physique, and relative honesty without trying to bargain for the information; all signs point to hero, so far. No point not trying to see what he can learn, then.]

At least I can cross "up" off the list without having to try it myself. I presume you've tried "away", as well?

[cloned]

Yeah, you either don't get anywhere or apparently if you try swimming or go through the woods you just flat out die. I haven't experimented with that one.

[He shoves his hands into his jean pockets and shrugs.]

Only direction I haven't tried is tunneling.

[realitywarped]

...I'll bear that in mind, as well. No woods, no water.

[Swimming was never really an option, given that Loki sinks like a stone; not surprising when he weighs about three normal people. The woods he might have tried, though, so it's nice to not accidentally wind up dead. He's not sure how that would work here, if he'd come back at all.]

I've tried a few others, but not down yet. It sounds like a lot of work, but... I suppose if all other options are out...

[cloned]

I mean, it's worth a try, but my hopes aren't high. [They thought of flying. They have to have thought of digging too.] They seem pretty thorough.

[realitywarped]

They do. I can try things I suspect you can't, and they've blocked those too.

[And boy, does that hurt his pride.]

It might be time for phase two. Tell me, how are you at research?

[cloned]

....I wouldn't call it my strongest subject. Don't tell me this is a magical fairytale pocket dimension that comes with homework.

[realitywarped]

I won't, then. All the same, it never hurts to see if there's more to know about the magical fairytale pocket dimension- like how magical, and whether the fairytale is Disney or Grimm or something even older, and why it seems to enjoy kidnapping people.

[He shrugs again, a little more tense. He doesn't trust this place at all, even if it's been calm so far.]
