Because you were sleeping.

How are you?

Not bad. It's been kind of cold out here. I heard things have been busy over your way lately.

Yes. Beauty went away for a little bit but she's back now. A lot is happening.

How is she?

I didn't talk to her since she got back. But I think... she's stronger.

That is good news for everyone, yes?

Yes. I think we'll win. I hope it's soon.

...I hope they pull us back for the last big push, if it is.

I will call you, anyway.

Thanks.

So how are you?

Okay.

It's kind of... hard, without a lot of friends here.

Lonely, huh?

I know how to be alone. I like my team. But I miss you.

...I miss you too, bat girl.

So, you will come back for the good fighting?

I hope so. Maybe there will be something out here we need to be doing, but... together is better.

Yeah, me too.

Are you doing stuff out there?

Yeah... some fighting, but mostly searching.

Any luck?

I think so. Sometimes it's hard to tell what's important.

Why?

Well, Josh can tell if we find something magical, but sometimes there's stuff that might mean something but we can't read it, or that kind of thing.

Ah.

Luckily, we can carry a lot.

You're very strong!

Mau?
