      SO  THE  EARTH  thing  .  .  .  koriand’r  had  found  herself  in  a  safe  place.  one  with  friends  and  heroes  that  had  accepted,  her  differences  even  being  other  worldly.  girl  had  never  gotten  as  lucky  as  her  brother  and  sister,  they  —  well,  they  looked  human  almost.  glowing  skin  and  flames  of  locks  didn’t  add  as  a  distraction  from  her  abnormal  height  of  the  average  woman.  the  truth  was,  as  much  as  kori  liked  it  here  .  .  .  she  would  never  fit  in.  the  attention  was  all  part  of  what  she  would  have  to  do  to  survive,  would  have  to  be  happy  that  even  though  there  were  bad  people  it  was  her  best  bet  for  life  outside  of  tamaran  as  a  FREE  WOMAN.  so  when  the  protesters  brushed  past  her,  she  flinched  her  head  down.  not  wanting  glowing  orbs  to  distract  from  the  anti  worldings  group.  hateful  things  have  always  been  said,  and  thanos’  plans  to  end  most  human  life  didn’t  exactly  set  aliens  on  the  path  of  living  a  quiet  life.   ❝   i  do  not  understand  why  we  can’t  all  just  live  in  peace.   ❞   there  wasn’t  much  else  talk  as  the  pair  shifted  through  the  crowd,  side  off  diner  being  the  place  for  the  two  to  get  away.  to  talk  -  mostly  about  sentinels  and  what  was  next  to  come.  the  price  for  this  life  was  heavy,  but  she  didn’t  mind  for  the  justice  of  others.  at  least  for  now.  her  own  time  of  vengeance  would  come,  whenever  that  may  be.

The side effects of the life-saving injection he incurred as a child certainly created a fair amount of sticky situations for Gar. He was often presumed to be an alien because of his hue, and he wasn’t sure if it was just because his skin was an abnormal color of any kind or the common belief that aliens must, for some reason, specifically be green.

He navigated himself and Kori through the crowd, taking responsibility as the older of the two to make sure that they reached their destination safely. Once inside, Gar made sure they had a booth and eased himself down, holding the menu in his hands but not opening it just yet. “So, uh. I’ve heard this place has great tofu burgers. Hopefully it hits the spot after having to deal with those lunatics,” he said, forcing a chuckle to try and ease his friend’s mind as he nodded toward the door they came in through. “Just so you know, though, those people are idiots. Rumor has it aliens are half the reason why they were brought back to life.”

It wasn’t hard for any idea to seem like a good one in that moment, as long as it said with confidence. Stephanie appeared to be full of confidence, piquing Gar’s interest and immediately winning his faith. “Wait... where’s the source? Am I the only one who doesn’t know how these bastards work? Was I supposed to read some kind of manual?” The last thing he needed in this timeline was homework, as if the operation was being run by Dick Grayson. He jumped as the sound of firing bullets erupted all over again. "Stop shooting, oh my god!” As if that had ever solved his problems. He watched as she dipped the cotton swab in alcohol, finally taking in the damage she sustained. “Did you hit ‘em with any sweet zingers about being heartless? All things considered, you made it out unscathed for dropping sick disses on ‘em. You need anything?”

      covered in his armor, thor called upon his axe - a strike of lightning shook through the walls, causing his eyes to glow with the heavens – “ i’ll take the ones on the left, you take that one right there - got it? ”

The sight around them was distressing enough, but the vision of Thor calling upon his axe, eyes glowing was enough to make Gar feel out of place. This behemoth wanted to team up with him? “All over it, dude,” he said, shapeshifting into the first companion worthy of Thor that came to mind -- a hearty, ferocious, green lion.

[garslcgan]

He looked over his shoulder, double-checking that he hadn’t ruined his social credibility so soon, but his head jerked forward once more when he heard her snort, a genuine smile creasing his lips as he gathered that she seemed to be on his side. “My pride’s wounded but it could be worse,” he said, taking her question as permission to sit down and recuperate for a moment. “If I would’a biffed it, it’s not like I have any other tiny green guy around here to blame it on, right? The other green dude looks 10 feet tall and his muscles have muscles. I’m Gar, by the way. Thanks for taking pity on my soul.”

He might have looked like he was just there to observe, but he was really in a state of panic. “Dude, I don’t even know what type of animal can take these things out!” He groaned deeply and put his powers to work, changing shape to a T-rex, and a huge gust left his nostrils as he sighed, more than annoyed to have to get down to business.

After copious amounts of dancing, Gar stopped by the snack table that went on for what felt like miles to refuel. He gathered a few goodies on a plate before starting to move aside, only for a rogue dancer to bump into him, causing him to drop his banana medley on the ground and slip on it before catching himself, the water in his hands going down the front of him in the process. He regained composure, wearing doe eyes as he looked around. Seemingly, no one had noticed bar one girl he hadn’t met before.

“You didn’t see that, cool?”

"See? I told you there were worse things you could be doing with your Friday night.”

Gar sat with Rae to keep her company during a slow song he wasn’t as fond of, but he always enjoyed being around her, even if she was vocal about finding him to be a pain in the neck. He was sure most of the Titans shared her sentiment, even if they were able to keep such opinions to themselves more often than not. “You look awesome, too. If I didn’t know any better, I’d’a thought you were late to being crowned Miss Congeniality or something. Quick, who’s your role model and why is it Garfield Mark Logan?” He asked, mimicking a beauty pageant host.

“In all my years of experience, the best vegan food comes from hole-in-the-wall restaurants. I was scared that whatever realm this is would be different but the food might be even better. ...or I’m just stress-eating, who knows. I know enough bats to be able to say it's at the least friggin' wild. There's gotta be something in that Gotham water. Wait... did you just 'holy Batman' in real life? Dude."

Gar’s eyes widened, feeling as if he’d stumbled upon someone majestic. “Thank you! Everyone makes me explain it just to look at me like I’m off my rocker for not wanting to be an indirect cannibal.” He took a second to consider her question; he could change into so many animals with just as many different needs that it was hard to keep track. “Not with many of them. I feel it most with dinosaurs, bears, and uh, weirdly, cats. But when I turn into any kind of omnivore, I end up craving almost exclusively green vegetables, which is weird since I’m green, so. Kinda.”

    “Stop pouting. You learned something valuable. Remember the lesson, not the disappointment.” Death smiled at them. Despite what they were, there was irony in how playful she can be. 

[garslcgan]

Gar looked up at them, admiring the sentiment. “Aw. That was kind of mean, but somehow reassuring?.” His green fingers rested on the guitar strings, still bitter that he wasn’t producing the sound he had in mind. “I’m not kidding though, I really could play Wonderwall back home!” 

[garslcgan]

"Real good. You guys’ve got the vegan burger thing down around these parts. I’ll make you try it, they all cave eventually.”

“Robin for Batman, because that makes sense for some reason. Whoa, really? That’s sick, we’ve gotta make that happen. I don’t know which Robin I’d be able to swindle into it but I’ve got some magic I can work. Not literally, my powers are more ‘turn into any animal I want’ and less ‘magic coming outta my fingertips.’ I’ll have to meet him, I’ve still got lots of ground to cover. Captain Marvel? What a dope codename. Nice to meet ya, Carol! I’m Gar. Or Beast Boy, whatever floats your boat.”

[garslcgan]

"Man, what would I do without ya, Don? You cool with going out and scoping the scene with me? I haven’t done much searching since we got here because I, uh. Got lost the first time. But that’s not important! We’ll get you all the fries you want and then some.”

[garslcgan]

“Honest question, did you come back from biting the dust just to spite me?” Despite the years that passed between seeing each other, they could still bicker just as well (if not better) than their teenage selves. “Yeah, they exist, but what am I sacrificing by letting technology dictate when and how I eat?” Saying that was bold on his part, as he relied on technology for almost everything else.
