"I think that makes perfect sense. And it's entertaining enough." Jason couldn't help laughing.

"Who's there?" Traci Thirteen asked warily.

"Uh, hello there." Jason poked his head out.

"Strange—you look so much like me." Priest Jason looked a little startled. "You're—"

"Jason Peter Todd," Jason introduced himself. "I'm you from another universe."

"Oh?" Priest Jason studied Jason and spotted a cross on his chest. "Looks like the me in another universe was lucky, too."

"I really have been pretty lucky." Jason's face twitched. As far as he knew, he and Red Robin were the only two Jasons who had never died. How could that not count as lucky?

"You're back?" Another priest suddenly appeared beside Roland.

"Clark? Why are you dressed like that?" Roland and Kara stared at Priest Clark beside them, both utterly baffled.

"What is this, the priest universe?" Kara quipped.

"Because that was how you dressed before," Priest Clark said.

"You didn't raise the Carl in this world, did you?" Kara asked Roland.

"No, I just saved him once," Roland explained. "How have you been lately?"

"Just as you saved me, I've saved a lot of people, too. I usually stay at this church. Father Jason is a very good man. We get along well."

"Huh? Jason's easy to get along with?" Kara marveled. "The multiverse really is amazing."

"You're—" Priest Clark asked Kara. "Something about you feels familiar—"

"My name's Kara. I'm your cousin," Kara introduced herself. "From another world, of course."

"Hmm—my older cousin?" Priest Clark looked a little startled. "You look younger than me, though."

"She really is your older cousin," Roland said. "Cousin Kara." Priest Clark accepted it without another word.

"...What exactly did you do to him?" Kara looked at Roland. This was far too weird.

"Well—I saved his life, that's all."
