"I... it's been a long time since I've seen it. I remember bits and pieces of it." she replied. She moved her spider limbs to stretch them about. When she had them out, they cramped up if she didn't move them for very long. "Why do you ask?"

"Let's just say I know a few things are gonna happen next. Namely 'cause they already happened where I come from. Kinda wish I had a Delorean though . . . though they ARE kinda crap-tastic as a car." he mentioned as he thought aloud. "Namely being a time-traveling outlaw and part-time musician, Orioles win the world series twice, Red Sox once, aaaaand I know a few things about you and Dickcheese Shitstain that would blow you AND present-day me away. Of course, I'm not about to let fly with THAT kinda information." he explained.
"Dickcheese Shitstain? We really went down deep to think up an insult for HIM. Why didn't we do that for Savage and Fisk?!"
SURELY you don't remember such hits as "Crap-ton Caveman", "Fisky O'Lardass", "Fat Boy and Fossil, the Dipshit Duo", "Fiskzilla" . . . .
((Okay, enough with the stupid insults already!))

"What... what do you mean?" she asked, her expression more than a little confused. "Are you... talking about Blackstone?" Great, something new to try and adjust to. After the whole... "Fourth Wall" thing, she thought she'd be able to handle any odd stuff CJ brought up. But... time travel? Did... did something really, really odd while he was gone?

"Yep! Of course, I'm not gonna go in that far. 'Course, I'm also not quite the C.J. from this time, SO probably shouldn't go into the gory details." he drawled as he smirked. Still wondering why the hell I didn't just shoot Blackstone in the face and call it good when I had the chance. he thought. Well, we also haven't SEEN Blackstone since the incident!
"Oh yeah . . . forgot about that tidbit of information!"
((Three years and we STILL haven't whacked the b*****d? It took us three WEEKS to get Savage and Fisk's hiding with Dr. Doom like the little fat coward he is!))

* "Iceberg Loung cough-cough right now cough-cough!" *
// Get back on the other side of the wall you! //
* "Whaaaaat? I like fun happy stab time." *
// Even when it's someone you've neglected to mention is also your boss? And the REASON he knew Sapphire was here? //
* "......um... plot twist?" *
Sapphire frowned and crossed her arms. "Oh, come on. You can't just hint at something like that and dangle it in front of me." she said, trying to just focus on the conversation. The less she tried to think of a time traveling CJ the better probably.

"Want to SOOOooooo bad! That fat ******** BARBECUED!"
Uh, C.J.? How we gonna get there?! We don't exactly have bus fare! AND we're on top of a building. AND Reservoir Dogs cast are waiting for at least ONE of us to get our happy little asses down so they can kill one of us or kidnap the other. We're not getting kidnapped.
"Oh yeah . . . Hey, LD! Can I get a lift here?"
((This is gonna ******** up the time frame SO badly . . . wait, this could mean we get to be the Doctor!))
Someone probably thinks WE ARE the Doctor!
((OOooooooh.))
C.J. smirked as he stuck his hands in his pockets. "Seriously can't. Writers are kinda working on a beta version of the three years between now and . . . err, MY now. Pretty much involves Arkham, Blackstone, Mexico, LOTS of freighthopping, one too many things I forgot through excess tequila, Lady Deadpool and . . . probably a wormhole I accidentally opened twice. WHOOPS!" he mentioned before he realized he might have said too much. Way to ALMOST let the cat out of the bag, dumbass! he thought.

Misty's expression became confused again, but she didn't press the matter farther. "Alright, I'll.... take your word for it if you say it's not something you should say." she replied. She paused for a moment in thought after, and looked down at the ground. "You're really from... you're a future version of CJ, then. Right?" she asked. "Can I... ask you a few other questions then before we have to go rooftop hopping?"
/// Yeeeeaaah.... about that... ///
// You can probably get a lift to the Lounge later, but the other place is a no-go. //
/// I'm beginning to discover that this particular writer LOVES drama. So... we're stuck, you're screwed for a bit, and... *cough* just hope you don't run into any black lanterns while you're up here. ///
// Shhh! //

"You think THAT'S bad, Wanda, you oughta see what MY writer's cooked up! With all the plot twists, it's like he's Shama-Lama Ding Dong!"
You mean M. Night Shaymalan?
((If we could SPELL it.))
C.J. smirked as put his hands in his pockets. "Fire away! By the way, probably best we head back towards . . . " he said as he looked around. "That way. Writers collaborating usually means something really bad's gonna happen here so we'd better get moving. You still good to walk and talk simultaneously?" he asked with a smirk. I'm just glad she actually REMEMBERS my ********' NAME!" he thought.

"Yeah. I'm fine to walk." Misty replied, then began walking towards the end of the roof where CJ had motioned. "I have a few questions, but I suppose the first one is if you know where... erm... you are now. The you that's in the same time frame as I am." she asked. She'd ask the other questions after she knew that her CJ was alright.
// Oooh, this could get interesting then. Hope you're in the mood for Black Lantern. It's gonna get crazy dramatic before too long. ///

C.J. smirked a little as they walked. "Oh yeah . . . turns out the writer meant to send HIM back . . . but when the Fate Sister decided to send us back, HE ducked. Little smartass sent ME back instead." he said with an eye roll. "He's with Mae though, so he'll be alright . . . at least 'til the point comes where that LOVELY little plot twist happens and yeah, that." he explained.

”Alright... he's somewhere and probably alright.” Misty said. Mostly to herself to try and reassure herself that he was alright somewhere. Then she paused for a long moment as she looked at the buildings around them. She'd probably have to carry this CJ again to get across the rooftops. That is unless this one was good about climbing and covering long distances. Which... could make her next question a bit... awkward.
”The only other glaring question I have I'm not sure how to ask.” she began. ”I mean... given my history and the fact you know Blackstone already. How long do.... do we...” she said, gesturing offhandedly. She was trying to ask how long did the two of them stay together. Were they still together in his timeline or did something shitty happen as it always did? And... was it even worth it in the end if they weren't.

C.J. stopped for a moment. She went there. Did she go there? YES. She asked about them. Well, as hard as that was to field, C.J. paused and looked back at her. "You might wanna siddown a sec, Mist' . . . this is one bit that's gonna not be too good." he drawled. His lackadaisical drawl vanishing as he tried to keep it together. He should be seething with anger. He would have LOVED to lay it on as thick as he could, carpet-bombing her lying a** with a good ol-fashioned chew-out that would make Arell's Gunnery-Sergeant-in-the-Marine-Corps-at-Paris-Island-for-half-his-natural-born-life proud and a nun blush . . . if not spontaneously burst into flames with the hellfire that COULD come out of his mouth.
However, that wasn't it. She and C.J. still had time. They could change. It could get better! He thought about Eric and Amanda a little bit. God, they had to be six or seven in his time. He shook off a tear as he stood there. How could he word this without going off and blowing it?! Would he still be around?!
"Well DUH! There's still time for them! This is just one route this coulda gone. Of course, this should go MUCH better than that one time we tried to kill Hitler!"
((What happened then?!))
"Long story short, we had just whacked him, and I was doing my impersonation to trick 'em into surrendering when Captain America showed up . . . it wasn't pretty . . . he KICKED MY a** until he saw my driver's license."

Misty stared at him for a moment, then let a small, sad smile curl around the corner of her lips. "That bad, huh?" she asked. Her voice rather uncomfortable. "It usually is with Blackstone involved. And given past history, it's probably my fault somehow." she said, then quickly turned away and looked about the rooftops across from them. Her long black spider legs twitched nervously. "Probably doing something I thought would protect someone else which looked really, really bad. Or Blackstone made the claim that we were never divorced and got jealous or..." she began, then sighed deeply.
For a moment the thought crossed her mind that maybe the reason was more about the children. Maybe something happened to them. But she kept going back to her history with Blackstone, and knew that it was probably her fault somehow. John certainly dove head first into the back-stabbing b*ch pool after Blackstone made her marry him, in order to protect John. Which... was exactly what Blackstone was hoping John would do. She could see Blackstone doing something like that here after he found out about the children, numerous kidnapping attempts.... likely living out of the train. Oh yeah. THAT would go over well with the immortal.
"Sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have asked. At least not until we got down. I mean... if we're not together, which I'm assuming we're not, then this is going to get very uncomfortable if I have to carry you across the rooftops." she said. Then paused a moment again. "Which... I'm sure the hug wasn't at all awkward. Sorry. I was just so relieved that you were al... I mean I was relieved that my you was alright." she said, looking back at him with an apologetic expression. Her legs still twitching nervously. She was clearly upset with herself now, despite trying to look as though she wasn't. "And I'm probably going to start rambling. I tend to when I'm... damn I shouldn't have asked. But with as much as I've been captured lately, Vandal Savage and now Blackstone... I... I thought I should know if this works out or if it would be better to just let you... him rather...."

Blackjack shrugged. "Well, there's still time, y'know? You can turn it around." he said with a smirk. "Then again, if me from now finds out, it'll take a little convincing if you do. If not, hell, you get to wed the richest dude in town (after ditching me without a word in Texas), I go whack Savage, go to Arkham, break out, crash your wedding, get drunk, go to Mexico, get drunker, put the band back together, go back in time and wind up with a Voodoo Priestess. Totally your call though!" he quipped as he looked over the side of the building and over to the next skyscraper. With any luck he could make the jump. Wouldn't be the first time . . .
"That really DOES seem a little farfetched . . . but hey, truth is stranger than fiction!"
With your a**, true dat.

Misty scoffed a bit. With everything crazy that had happened with CJ, nothing was really sounding farfetched. Not with him. "Well... was it, was it at all worth it? Any of it? I know you're probably not the best... time frame to ask. But is there any point to trying to turn it around if it's my fault in the end? Which... really sounds like it is." she asked as she looked at the buildings. Then moved towards one that would be closer for CJ to jump. She didn't figure carrying him was going to be an option with this... news.
"I mean... would it be better to just let you off the hook now? Before things get too deep? I don't... you've done so much for me already. I don't want to do anything that's just going to hurt you. If... letting you go would be better, then..."
