As the scream came from the other bed in the room, Eric looked to find a character he only slightly recognized who seemed just as freaked out as he was. He instinctively shrunk back a bit when she touched him, but her introduction had him alert once again.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #FF40FF">"Uh, who are you? I am Valerie True. What the...why did I say that name? That is just a character I made up and...what the hell? The last thing I wanted was to be this age! I had a bad time enough being this the first time I was this old!"</span></span><br/><br/>Eric smiled "Valerie True? as in, keyootee's Valerie True???" He held out his hand in a "friendly handshake" manner. "Well this IS a surprise. oh... sorry, I almost forgot! JDizzle, in the flesh. well, as close as I'll get in this place anyway."<br/><br/>When the giant bug flew into Valerie's lap, he shrank back again. "hmmm... it seems I've inherited Eric's fear of bugs." he whimpered almost pathetically. Robin was now looking at the two newcomers with a "curiosity-is-peaked-and-I-must-research-this" expression. Eric smirked. He knew Robin, and if Robin could figure this out for him, he didn't see any reason to start doing the work of a "How am I here?" situation.<br/><br/>The Titan's communicators beeped. "Guys, you might want to get here fast! BB's being pummeled by CinderBlock right now, and I sure ain't a one man army!"<br/><br/>JDizzle smiled and withdrew his dice shooter from where he knew Eric kept it. "Well then, I suppose if you want a one man army, I could tag along." He looked at keyootee and winked at her adding, "And 'Valerie' here might be able to help Beast Boy a bit too!"
