"This is Zatanna.

Evael a egassem."

Think so? [Briefly opens his eyes to look up at her.]

I've just been doing a lot of thinking. [Playing with his hair seems to be doing the trick because he sounds sleepy.]

I found out I had a soul not that long ago. I've seen enough in our world to know something like that's possible but enough to also know it might not be possible.

[Her voice softens. Keeping the conversation going, but not wanting to startle him in case he really does fall asleep.]

I believe it.

The person who saw my soul told me that sometimes when people die, their souls go to this place for safe keeping where they are protected.

[Smiles as he thinks about his parents, aunt, and cousin being in a place like that.]

It's a nice thought.

[Not all souls went to heaven, of course. Some of them remained trapped inside magic helmets.]

[Of course, she's not going to bring that up right then, because Dick seems all too comfortable with the notion. She has a feeling there are particular loved ones he's thinking of. The family he'd lost.]

A place where everybody can be reunited again.

[The more he speaks, the sleepier he sounds.]

Yeah, that sounds nice. I'd like that. I'd like to see them again.

[Those last few words come out in a mumble and within a minute or two he's fallen asleep.]

[She just barely makes out his last words before he drifts off. And she sits there, staring at his slumbering face but only partially seeing him. Her mind is elsewhere as she continues to stroke his hair until a single drop of water falls on her wrist.]

So would I.
