How to Stay

cursedhyacinthFlame, of the elves, spoke to the mage Dick Grayson, from the world that was being harmed by the Hub. His family has managed to stabilize the place so their world is no longer in danger. They've also built on Dream of the Endless's "doors" to our home universes by adding "lock and key".
The doors remain as they are until people seek them out, but now we have the option of locking our "doors" behind us when we go home, if we no longer wish to be in the Hub.
Melanie, the werelioness who runs The Park Cafe, serves the mage Bruce Wayne from the same world. Bruce tells her that there is a way for people who wish to stay in the Hub permanently to keep from being drawn home.
The doors to go home are unlocked. But if you want to stay, all you have to do is lock your door home.
It's been about a month since Dickie and "Dickie Junior" moved into a place together. I go over sometimes, mostly for dinner-and-a-movie nights. And it's nice. The kid followed Dickie's lead on calling me a guy and using the name Jason, without a bit of hesitation. People here are good about that -- going with what I say, rather than what they see.
I like spending time with them. It feels comfortable and maybe a little... domestic? might be the word for it. Like we're a little family of our own.
But... part of me does feel guilty. There's a family waiting for me back in my world, and they do worry about me, too. I should at least go back for a visit, right? Give them an update, even if it's "still no clue on how to lift the curse"...
I'll go looking for my door... but... on this coming Monday. Tomorrow, the theater by my place is showing "The House of Wax" from 1952 and Dickie needs more Vincent Price in his life.
