[I don't see why not. Do you have one in mind?]

After all, none of the Jokers live in Atlantis.

[Not especially. I don't know them that well. I'll ask Micaiah, I guess.]

Permalink

[Sure. And he can take you up to the ship so Jane can send you wherever you decide to go.]

Permalink

[Okay. Um, thanks.]

Permalink

[You're welcome.]

Permalink
That's it for a little while.

And then, five days later, Micaiah brings Nathaniel up to the ship.
Permalink

"Hi, Nathaniel," says Jane.

Permalink

"Hi," he says. "I want to visit Aurum, please."

Permalink
"Okay, lemme tell Golden and Alice."

Thirty seconds later, "Ready?"
Permalink

He nods.

Permalink

Yoink!

Permalink
Alice is waiting at the Janepoint.

"Welcome to Aurum! Okay, I don't see you interacting with anyone who might mate to you, it looks like you mostly hang out in space," says Alice. "Have fun!" And off she traipses.
Permalink

Nathaniel wonders how it is that he will be hanging out in space.

Permalink
He does not have long to wonder.

"Hi, sweetie!" says the Joker, teleporting in. "Wanna hug?"
Permalink

He smiles and nods.

Permalink
The Joker hugs him.

"Wanna meet my kids? Dunno what Kerron's up to, but I was just with Aedyt. She says hi."
Permalink

"Maybe one at a time," he says, smiling tentatively.

Permalink

"You got it," he says, and squeezes Nathan's hand, and then they are standing just outside of a cute little house on a cute little asteroid.

Permalink

Aedyt waves from the doorway. "Hey, uncleoid," she says. "Is that the right word? Whatever. Mummy made cupcakes, come have some."

Permalink
Nathaniel proceeds inside for cupcakes.

So far, his brother's alt and family are delightfully nonthreatening!
Permalink

[Hey babe, where are you at?] Nathan asks. [Kerron's crashed for the night and this is a good time to cheat at cross-country road trip by skipping out overnight.]

Permalink

[At the pumpkin's place. Micaiah's brother Nathaniel is visiting. You wanna come see him? He's a sweetheart. Kinda jumpy, though, so I better ask him first.]

Permalink

[Yeah, sure, I'll be up when the time is right.]

Permalink
[Love you, sweetie.]

He consults Nathaniel.

[Yeah, he says it's okay,] he reports, and the optimal time to appear in Aedyt's living room occurs shortly afterward.
Permalink
Pop!

Nathaniel may be a guest, but Nathan's mate has his attention first. Kiss! And then:

"Hullo, Nathaniel. We've got excessively similar names, so if you want, you can call me Timer."
