"I'm pretty sure it's dimensional," he nods "We've compared a couple of notes, there's definitely some people we both know but a lot of people we don't." he can't help but agree with Wally's assessment, it seems like it would be really cool and interesting, but in reality it's just kind of a disappointment, especially when he hears about people turning up that he recognises, but who turn out to be from Barry's world. He can't believe he's finally met someone from his own world and it's Wally of all people, one of the two he would want to see more than anything.

He doesn't know whether to be amused or guilty at Wally's reaction to finding out everybody here knows his real name, he can understand why his best friend in all the world might feel a little jealous of the people who know his secret identity, especially when Wally doesn't, but at the same time... it isn't like nobody in the world knows what it is. The only people at home who know that Robin and Dick Grayson are one and the same are family, of course, but Dick is pretty damn well known - a biproduct of being the son of one of Gotham's wealthiest names of course.

When Wally comes right out and asks it, there is a split second hesitation because he knows how much Bruce had drilled it into him that he should never reveal his secret to anybody, but it's not like Wally isn't going to find it out anyway, and he deserves to be told by Dick himself because otherwise it's just not fair, and honestly? He's been waiting for this moment for a while, he wants Wally to be the first person from back home to find out, and even though the circumstances are a million miles from what he ever hoped, he's still glad to be able to do it.

"It's Dick. Dick Grayson." and if Wally knows anything about Gotham and its upper crust, it's not a great leap to figure out who Batman is.
