Hey, you've reached Priestly. Aren't you lucky! I'm not around to take your call, but you probably know what to do.

"Dinah's only -- Momoko and Jamie -- I -- right, okay, brain rebooting, please hold. . . ."

Priestly rubbed his nose, then leaned out the door. "Trucker, my teenage daughter from the future in on the line and trying her best to give me an aneurysm. Mind if I clock out early?"

Piper, thinking he was kidding, snorted to herself. "Well. At least your excuses are creative."

Trucker's look said he wasn't entirely sure any more. "Uh, sure, Priestly. Just let us know how it goes in the morning."

Priestly nodded and ducked back into the back room. "Okay. I no longer have to handle sharp or hot things for the rest of the night, and I can walk home from here, so you're good to break my brain as much as you need to, now."

"Tell Trucker I said BYE!" Lena called through the phone. "Okay, wow, so, Berto and I got here this morning-- wait, you don't know Berto." She paused and tried to remember what her dad would already know. "Last time I was here I was eight, right? And I'm seventeen now." She bounced on the couch in 'Dite's suite, and watched her Mom try to make a chocolate-and-ice-cream sandwich. "Berto's the same age as me, he's Auntie Momomomo's and Uncle Jaime's youngest kid. We were going for ice cream in New Gotham, and then whooosh just like the times when I was little, we were in Fandom."

"And you're seventeen." That was totally the important part of what she'd just said. "You're my daughter, and you're a teenager."

"He sounds like you did," Lena told Dinah, who rolled her eyes. "Yes, Daddy," she said, patient. "I'm seventeen. Mom's nineteen. You're nineteen. Berto's seventeen." She grinned, then kind of shuddered. "And there's a guy here who looks just like you who's maybe seventeen and he hit on me. It was traumatic."

Dinah might be choking on chocolate in the background.

"Was his name Dean? Because I'm not above killing that guy."

He was, actually. Way above it. Also just plain not capable of it.

Lena snickered, even though Dinah had a very thoughtfully homicidal look on her face in front of her. "Nope. Derek Gardner. I've got a picture I took of him to prove I'm not making it up." She TK'd some chocolate to herself, and added, "He's a Star Sapphire Lantern superhero. Or a porn star. He wasn't real clear on if that was just a hobby, though."

...yes, it was fun to give her dad a stroke. Why do you ask?

Priestly made a small, strangled noise. It was at least partially used to the fact that somewhere out there in the vastness of space-time was a porn star with his face on him.

"You're mean," he said.

"Awwwww," Lena responded. "Sorry, Daddy." She settled in, repentant, but still thrilled to be talking to him when he was so young. And not even dating her mom yet! "I'll be nicer. What do you want to know? That won't break space-time or anything?"

"Yes!" Lena grinned. "Although, nowadays she mostly trains the younger ones, and coordinates tactics and stuff, since she's over forty..." That got her a Look and a protesting, "Well, you are!" to Dinah. "And still a P.I. and all. Oh oh I'm graduating! And I'm going into hotel and restaurant management!"

Forty. It just didn't sound possible. "Um. Wow. What -- what about me?" He was almost afraid. His last glimpse into his own future had not been that great.

It was cheating, but it wasn't cheating, 'cause it was so far in the future, and they'd both told her over and over that there were alternate universes. This Priestly might wind up married to Aunt Tish.

Weiiiird.

So telling him what happened in hers was okay, Lena justified to herself.

"You co-own the expanded Beach City Grill. And you have the best popcorn shrimp and fruity drinks this side of L.A.," Lena said proudly. "We even get tourists! Who just come for the food!"

"Dude." Priestly burst into a grin. "Dude. Really? That's awesome! . . . Wait, we don't have a TV show or anything, right?"

Lena rolled her eyes and snorted. "As if. Like you'd put up with people distracting you in the kitchen or bothering the customers. We don't do that," she said firmly. "That's for posers." She grinned hugely. "You let me and Jen do little webcasts of the specials of the day, though!"

"Yeah?" Priestly said. "Yeah, that'd be sweet." He rubbed his chin. "And I imagine your mom doesn't let me shave." Dinah was going to have a thing about that forEVER.

"Not even," Lena confirmed, sneaking more chocolate. "She lets you trim it back and stuff, but she gets all twitchy if you go completely clean-shaven."

Be fair. Bad things happen when he shaves. It gave Dinah a complex.

"Something about how it's her turn next? You guys never explain that."

Yeee.

"Well, see, if your mom wants to shave her various parts. . . ." He trailed off with a slightly wicked grin.

Lena choked on her chocolate. "Daddy! No! Oh my god! I don't wanna know! It's bad enough to come home from a date to find you guys making out! I don't need to know more than that!"

"We have a seventeen year old kid and we still make out? Awwwww."

Piper, who'd been coming back for more onions, paused and stared.

"You have a what?"

"Piper, I told you I was talking to my teenage daughter from the future, right?"

Piper blinked, then turned and walked back out. "The sign did say they didn't want normal. . . ."

"And Aunt Barbara wonders where I get it from," Lena grumbled.

No, she really didn't. Lena was abusing the sarcasm that Barbara abused.

"Yes, you do. It's not normal, but it's sweet." Lena made a face. "And overly. Mom spends a lot more time in Santa Cruz these days, since she can commute to... um. The training facility." No giving away *real* secrets. "Just as easily as from New Gotham. What are you doing this weekend, aside from weirding out Aunt Piper?"

"Oh, you know . . . working." Going on dates with his girlfriend who was definitely not Lena's mom. "Hanging out."

Yeaaah, not something to reveal to Lena. She could be a tad unreasonable.

"You should come visit Fandom," she wheedled. "And oh, have you gone to Mongolia yet?... not that you have to. But you might to. Just saying..."

"Duh. That's just a weird thing with her world, like monkeys that talk," Lena said dismissively. "I know better, Dad." She grinned. "Do you want to talk to Mom?"
