cissie king-jones ○ formally arrowette ○ 23 I said, "Remember this feeling" I passed the pictures around Of all the years that we stood there On the side-lines, wishing for right now We are the kings and the queens You traded your baseball cap for a crown When they gave us our trophies And we held them up for our town And the cynics were outraged Screaming, "This is absurd" 'Cause for a moment, a band of thieves In ripped up jeans got to rule the world

cissie was casually having one of their daily solo dance parties in her apartment in her pjs and a tub of ice cream in her hand when a portal opened and and her with her eyes closed danced their way into another universe. they were very confused for a while standing in the middle of a street she did not know with ice cream and her booty short, but thankfully they found some familiar faces and was able to get themselves together in there.

HA mental state, what is that? they are never ok mentally, they try their best honestly, but now their shrink is in another universe and she’s stuck on a world she does not know so they are spiraling slightly. but from the outside she looks like as happy go lucky as ever, she’s very good at faking it. as for physical, they are fine, bumped into a hydrant when she passed through so she has a big old bruise on her leg but other than that, she’s fine.
·.·★ 𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 ; and cassandra would swear she never meant for it to get to this point – looking for the right moment to come clean about taking up the wonder girl mantle in this new world. she knew it would undermine not only the trust this relationship had been rekindled on , but also the foundation under why. they had broken up before because cassie couldn’t handle being a good girlfriend and hero at the same time – - and the more she dwelled on that she figured , maybe she was never a good girlfriend in the first place
conner had been wrong about many things , and their actions only sought to make things far more difficult. but things had been made clear , cissie deserved better. or at least, to know the truth. ( maybe the partial truth , or whatever she could manage. )
dishes are almost finished and she thinks maybe the fact she cooked and cleaned were proof of guilty conscience, “ hey angel , do you have any other plans for the night ? “ casual line thrown over her shoulder , the butterfly flap to start the hurricane / @arrwette
cissie could feel heaviness in the air even if she didn’t understand the reason to why just yet, it was just something that she would try to push it pass as the days went by. she sat on one of the counters of the kitchen as waited for cassie to finish the dishes, wanted to help but was simply sat picking at her nails as her girlfriend worked on them. their mind started to run countless scenarios that she didn’t even realize that the other had addressed them. cissie takes a while to finally come back to reality and shakes her head, processing the question “oh, not really, i was hoping to just watch a movie or something. why, do you have anything in mind?
“ yeah , it gets weird for me and ty. it’s like … worse when we’ve been apart for a while and one of us gets sick. ” she was rambling , but tandy was also lying through her teeth. “ i’m okay. seriously ! i’m good , it’s the tail end of it all , i think. ”
“ your flu gets like this because you haven’t seen your friend in a while ? ” she was still trying to understand how some of the things worked around these parts with tandy specially “ are you sure ? is there anything i can get you ? do you want me to just hang out so you aren’t alone ? ” they questioned, moving closer to the other “ i’m here. ”
“ excuse you, i’m not being a baby. ” they say in an exasperated tone “ this is simply unpleasant. ” they arch an eyebrow at the other “ i don’t know how to tell you this, hon, but you always been the team mom. ”
approaches the other, tilting their head slightly “ flu ? i never seen this effect because of flu. are you sure that’s all that is ? do you need anything ?”
Dinah leaned on the doorway as her eyebrow quirked. “The look on your face doesn’t assure me there was anything to worry about.” She admitted as she watched the other blonde. “You know, I could just Judo throw you outta the way and see what you’ve done, right?”
cissie offers a sheepish smile to the other “ my face ? oh no no, don’t mind that. everything is just dandy, don’t think of it. ” she chuckles awkwardly “and why would you judo throw me out of the way? there’s nothing to be concerned over, maybe a little burnt cake. ”
“ no. of course not, what would they want with a civilian ? i’m retired, there’s really no use. ” the blonde shrugs “ wait. did you join either of them ?? ”
@arrwette // “ I GOTTA SAY , ” they start . “ i am definitely loving all the archer representation around here . this is just vindicating me . a bow and arrow aren’t unconventional weapons . ”
they chuckle with a nod “ can’t say the representation that this place had already was all that bad. oh, i know, how dare anyone ever think that. they aren’t just conventional but they range is just amazing, all the trick arrows you could make, makes the bow and arrow one of the most flexible weapons.”
@arrwette ––– TRENDY BAR IN MANHATTAN // THE MAGICIAN GRIMACES AFTER taking a sip of her drink and quickly sets her glass down . “ i just got ripped off . ” reaches from the plate of truffle fries on their table . “ anyways , what’s new with you ? shield and sword’s been working OVERTIME trying to figure out this portals thing . ”
cissie takes a sip of her glass before arching an eyebrow at zatanna “ what ? why ? ” they reach for the other’s glass and smalls it , with a shrug she sets it down “ new with me ? oh same old, same old. trying to find better jobs, what about you ? oh have they ? did they find anything interesting ? ”
“ quantum physics is useful for many things , but that isn’t one of them , ” liv replies . “ definitely not helped by the fact they’re all rigged . ”
cissie quirks an eyebrow “is that what you do ? quantum physics ? so you’re super smart then ? ” pouts lightly “ sucks, oh they are not all rigged. the sketchy ones are, but there are some you can get some good stuff in. ”
Tyrone could definitely take it as a ‘win’ that there were so many more young superheroes in a city like New York than back home. Of course he missed his parents and old friends, but there was something about being surrounded by people like you that provided a much-needed blanket of security to fall on Ty. Well, not exactly exactly like him, as Cissie was clearly destroying him in every game of darts, pool, or whatever else they could find to keep themself entertained on a college campus, “Thank goodness I didn’t challenge you to archery,” Ty pulled darts from the board with a mumble, thinking how he should’ve know better than the challenge her at all.
cissie found herself assimilating easily to the new world, it wasn’t like she had pressing matters in her own that she was nervous to go back to, specially with most that she knew was with her. but most importantly she was finding nice to meet people, people she had never thought she would meet if this hadn’t happen. they watched as he took the darts out of the board “ well that’s what happens when you challenge someone with perfect aim.” she winks “ oh yes, you could have, you wouldn’t be in bad company with all the people that i put to dust on archery. next time, chose something that it doesn’t involve shooting, or at least get me drunk first.” they joke, playing with the dart in her hands.
“no,” kyle says, more to himself than to the other as he tries to remember where he’d seen them. he didn’t watch enough TV for him to have seen her there, and even their voice was familiar, meaning he hadn’t just encountered a random photo of them somewhere. he thinks harder, trying to come up with some reason her face would stick out so much in his memory. even as the line moves forward, he remains preoccupied.
and then it hits him all at once. his eyes widen and he even laughs as he says, “wait, weren’t you on that teen justice league? the one who insulted batman to his face?”
“ no ? ” they shake their head and go over in their head from where she could have possibly know the other from, she stared at him eyes squinting as she thought it over. “ young justice ? yeah.” as the words hit her, memories of that encounter flood back to her eyes wide. the most terrified she had ever been was when she was telling them off not knowing if she would ever see the day after “ well i wouldn’t say i insulted him. it was more of a bringing back to reality and was really to the whole league. ” they shrug with a chuckle “ but wait, if you know that you are... ? ”
sometimes she forgets that not everyone knows who she is , what she could do , what she did do . it was kinda nice . “ oh , it was just my - " and she literally waves off the conversation before taking the other by her shoulders , looking her up and down . " are you okay , more importantly . ”
cissie knew plenty people with exceptional abilities having mixed with them for a long period of time during her early years, however she was always intrigued by a seemingly new one “it was awesome.” gaze falls to the hands and back ot the other with a wave “ oh i’m fine, i’m fine. i’ve taken harder hits. i used to do what you did right them. i’m used to it. ”
“ so . . . you’re an archer, ” billy comments, his attempt to strike a conversation with the blonde for the sake of passing time between training sessions. “ have you ever heard of hawkeye ? like — kate bishop hawkeye, not clint barton hawkeye. he’s old and retired. ” billy swears he’s got a point to all of this. “ anyway . . . kate’s kind of my best friend. ” he’s thinking he could set them up . . . er, not like that ! he’s sort of been rooting for kate and yelena to hook up. but cissie would make a great training partner ! or something. whatever. he hates small talk.
they had decided to visit some friends at sword and go looking once she could, seeing the other she moved slowly towards them and arched an eyebrow at the question “ yes i am, gold medalist. ” they offer proudly and stop near him “ i didn’t until i got here. yes, i heard of both. seem to be good. ” shrugs with a smile. they nod at the information “ best friend, huh? that’s nice, congratulations ? mine is a speedster. ” they offer with a coy smile “ oh were you name dropping ? i would love to see their work.”
❛❛ yeah she is , maybe you should take some advice. maybe then you’d be able to realize cassie’s been going behind your back this whole time . . . wondergirling it up in the ol’ nyc. haven’t you heard about the lasso chick running around ? . . . but i get it , you can’t be pretty and smart , can you ciss ? ❜❜
“ i like her, don’t you fuck that up. ” they roll their eyes at the dig, stopping head snapping at his words “ w — what. she is ? ” all the worries cissie had ever had during that time when she had just retired came rushing back at the simple words he had spoke “ sure, i have. i just assumed it was diana or donna. not cassie, i didn’t think she would lie to me.” their demeanor falls, arms cross in front of her chest, holding herself “ that’s not fucking funny conner. especially when is you of all people saying it. speaking from experience, i assume. ”
·.·★ “ 𝐨𝐡 , 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐧 “ spoken with a confidence of someone never afraid to make a fuss, it was just plywood it’s not like she took anyones eye out ! ( though , she equally could ) “ i’m known to be veeery convincing, “ with the kiss on the cheek , cassie slowly detangled herself from the embrace. as much as she’d like to stay like that all night , she’d worked up a strong appetite. “ work was … okay , it’s -- “ a pause , smile quickly turned to a frown , brushed off just as quickly . “ – over. so what’s for dinner then, chef ramsey ? “
they chuckle at the other’s certainty “yes they will.” eyebrow arches “ can’t wait to set a even better record then.” cissie let’s a smile take over their features, a hand coming up to the other’s chin “ you most certainly are, i for one would do about anything you tell me to.” she teases, feeling loss of heat from cassie detangling from her grip, she moves to finish off setting up the table and turn to the other blonde as she speaks again “ just okay ? ” she perks up at the question “ well i got us some chinese, would that be alright ? ” she motions her hands to the set table she had finished for them.
