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.

"He is a clown. And an acrobat."

Beat.

"He is good with lions, too."

X really likes the lions. It kind of shows.

"It is okay."

X understands. But she's still curious.

"You like them, too?"

X can agree about the stupid people, at least.

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."

"That is a good name, too."

Because it is!

"You like it better? Than Dick."

X thinks names are important.

"Perry is a name for kings, too."

Because that is relevant.

"X is not."

"No. But it is the name of a king. Who comes to Milliways."

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.

"Kings are busy," X allows. "But usually they are busy with public speaking. Or paperwork."

If she were someone else, she might even make a face here.

"I like what I do better."

"I know."

It shows in everything he does.

Which is good, from where X is standing.
