Haly's Circus: New York City!
It's a quick stop between Metropolis and Gotham City. New York is what John Grayson calls a Red Pin town - big shows, and dangerous tricks, but it's smaller than Metropolis and is a warm up for the big shows in Gotham.
Dick waited until the punters were beginning to show up then grabbed a moment between rehearsals to run into the bar and collect his friends. So many people had said they hadn't been to a circus in too long, and that had to be fixed.
Also, he feels that if having access to a magic bar is going to do something, it might as well bring an audience to the circus.

Dick follows suit, bouncing back onto his feet. "Who's Trowa?"
no subject
Beat.
"He is good with lions, too."
X really likes the lions. It kind of shows.
no subject
Dick glances over his shoulder, looking towards the back yard.
"I'd ask if you wanted to meet them, but they need quiet after a performance."
no subject
X understands. But she's still curious.
"You like them, too?"
no subject
He grins. "Who doesn't like animals?"
STUPID PEOPLE, that's who. "And they like me. I've known King sionce he was a cub. Actually, his full name is King Richard. We've got the same name."
:D

She also takes this moment to study Dick a little more closely.
"King?"
It --
Might not be entirely improbable? Or maybe X is joking.
"It is a good name."
no subject
"Richard."
no subject
Because it is!
"You like it better? Than Dick."
X thinks names are important.
no subject
"Richard's a name for kings. Dick is for aerialists."
no subject
Because that is relevant.
"X is not."
no subject
People have multiple names, right?
no subject
She hesitates for a moment, considering elaborating on Dick's question.
"X-23 was my designation. People at home called me Laura. But I am X."
People with multiple names are all over the place, these days.
no subject
"Laura is the most Kinglike," he says. "If you wanted to be King, which I don't. Because I like being Dick more than Richard."
And she is X, not Laura.
no subject
If she were someone else, she might even make a face here.
"I like what I do better."
no subject
no subject
It shows in everything he does.
Which is good, from where X is standing.
