“psh, as if you could.” cassie’s feigned sadness transforms into a grin, her entire face lit up with the joy of finally having kate back - kate, her best friend, her greatest ally. “you’re such a sucker for a pretty face, bishop.” she laughs. “words, huh?”

   “ you know me so well. ” she sighs, wrapping her arm around cassie’s shoulders, “ how am i supposed to resist that smile ?? ” her free hand comes up to poke at cassie’s dimple, but, for all the teasing, there’s a fondness to everything kate does around cassie that’s more than obvious. cassie was her first friend and greatest advocate in the young avengers. losing her devastated kate. “ absolute words. words so frightening you’ll never want to hear them again. ”

“You’re who I think about texting first when anything happens, come on.” Billy says with a grin as he looks at her. With all the things that have happened lately it make sit easier to have friends around definitly. “Paintball? I have never done that. It hurts doesn’t it? I heard it hurts but I’m down to try it.”

  “ and that’s the way it’ll stay, obviously. ” she laughs, nose scrunching as she links their arms. “ you’re the only magic user that doesn’t make my head spin. how could i ever let you go ?? ”  even when the young avengers were at their lowest, kate was certain she could always count on billy, after all. “ it’s fun !! only hurts a little. you’ll barely notice it with the gear on. i promise i’ll take it easy on you. ” even if her aim is .... pretty flawless.

“Maybe so, but I definitely need as much food as I can get my hands on. So if you’re gonna be stealing my food all the time I might need to rethink how I do things.” Wally says with a laugh, though he hopes she knows he’s not really serious. Of course, he does need to eat a lot but that doesn’t mean he’s not willing to share. “Perfect, I can do that. I hope you’re ready for how great I’ll look.”

   “ fine, fine. i promise i’ll only steal your food every other time i’m in the vicinity. ” she holds out a hand and gestures for him to take it with a grin, “ we’ll even shake on it. it’s very official. i definitely won’t break that promise ever. ” and if she does then, you know -- she’ll just claim her photographic memory failed her on this go around. “ i can’t wait to be completely floored by your look. just don’t out handsome my pizza partner. ”

   “ robot invasions ?? ”  tommy fakes a sound of deep outrage.  “ watch it, that’s my fake-dad you’re talking about.  pretty sure, technically, i’m part robot. ”  he’s not, thank god, but he loves the attention.  “ magic’s a bitch, though.  don’t tell billy. ”

   “ should i ask which part of you isn’t robot ?? ” she grins and though she’s certainly not interested in the answer to her far from serious inquiry, kate thinks she’s pretty clever and that’s all that matters. “ the biggest bitch, actually - and i won’t tell him, but if any bit of twin telepathy pops up and gives us away, you’re not my list. ”

“kaaaaate,” she whines, all pout and drawn out vowels and wide, sad eyes. she reaches out a hand and digs her finger into kate’s ribs - hard enough to annoy, to tickle but only just, but not so hard it could hurt her. “you can’t be mean to me. you love me.”

  she makes a noise, bending forward and hobbling away from cassie’s prying fingers. “ i’m rethinking that immediately. ” but it’s cassie so of course she’s not. after a moment, kate rolls her eyes and leans forward to gently flick cassie’s nose, “ you’re lucky you’re so cute or we’d be having words. ”

Billy comes in to wrap an arm around Kate as well, the smile spreading over his face at seeing her. “I don’t mind that, you’re always one of my favorites.” He looks down at the book in his hands then back to her. “I’ve been trying to distract myself with reading, but it’s not really working, you know?”

   “ better be. ” she quips, leaning her head against billy’s shoulder. he’s forever one of her closest friends, given everything they’ve been through together. having him around makes it easier. “ oh, definitely. reading gives you too much time to be distracted. we should do something actually fun. like paintball or something. ”

    It was strange being surrounded by so many other heros. Lilith only had ever been around the Titans, and met the Justice League once before they broke apart the team, so everyone all at once was a lot for her.  So instead of pushing herself into unwanted social interactions she sat at a table with her eyes focused on the pen in front of her. Right hand lifted she tried to imitate how people in movies used their telekinetic powers but then she watched the metal object twitch towards her. “ did you just see that? ”

     “ hard to miss. ” kate scoots her chair closer to the girl, brown eyes peering at the pen before landing on the redhead. “ you look a little surprised. is this new for you ?? ”

 with an exaggerated roll of his eyes, tommy pulls his attention away from the trunk of things he’s going through.  he doesn’t know how it ended up in his possession, family stuff, but whoever sent it his way is a dumbass and a half.  tommy shouldn’t be trusted with anything holding sentimental value whatsoever.  whatever, everyone’s going to be back for it in no time.  “ all this crap, and no one sent me magneto’s backup helmets.  you know he has reject designs somewhere; we deserve them. ” 

   “ if one of them doesn’t have an actual magnet on it then i don’t see the point. if you can’t go big, you have to go home. ” leaning over the couch arm, kate gently digs around in the trunk, careful to not pick apart too much. “ wonder if you’re the only one who got something like this. ” she heaves a sigh, “ god, why is it always magic ?? i miss the good ol’ days of robot invasions. that was fun, right ?? ”

                    new cultures were always fun // even if taken there … forcibly.    new people, new food, newer lives to live.     perhaps it was weird to be so boundlessly optimistic in a situation nadia didn’t know;     but being anything but optimistic wasn’t her thing           (    mostly.     )    a bound in her step, a smile larger than her stride.    ‘ hey  ;      in this city,    what’s the one thing you gotta eat ?          i mean, i’d eat everything if i could. i’m so hungry, i didn’t have lunch this morning.’    a weird statement to make at roughly 1 in the afternoon. 

   who the hell knows, actually ?? kate’s been to d.c. all of ... three times ?? maybe four ?? the point is, it’s not a lot and she’s not exactly versed on the best food around. it’s a shame really. all she can offer is a shrug as she says, “ my guess is as good as yours. can’t go wrong with pizza though, can you ?? ”

“So what you’re telling me is I need to stop bringing my food around here if I don’t want you stealing it all the time.” Wally says with a chuckle, though he knows he’s going to be here more than anyone else, especially if he brings the kids to live here too. “Ring bearer? I’m honoured, wow. The dream. Do I have to wear a suit?”

    she considers that for a moment before slowly shaking her head, “ let’s not do anything drastic. food is always welcome in my general vicinity so it’d be a serious disservice to ban it, if you ask me. ” grabbing another slice of pizza, kate clicks her tongue and waves a hand dismissively, “ no way, no how. suits are way too stuffy. i think a nice blazer would be passable. ”

Floating off the ground while surrounded by a bright blue glow, Billy reaches for a book on the top shelf. He pulls it out of the slot only to realize it wasn’t what he thought it was. He looks disappointed for a moment, but out of the corner of his eye he spots it across the room. He doesn’t know how he made that mistake, but he just uses a wave of his finger to float it over to him. “Gotcha!” Billy says proudly, floating down onto the ground again. When he turns around though he nearly bumps into someone. “Oh! Where you looking for me?”

   “ it was between you or another magic wielding mutant with a space cape and soul twin, actually. ” she drapes an arm across billy’s shoulders, pulling him in for a half hug, “ guess i chose you so it looks like we both hit the jackpot. ” her eyes drift to the book in his hands for a split second, “ whatcha been up to ?? ”

“mhm,” cassie tries her best for sarcasm, but it escapes her between the laughter and fondness for her friend. so she goes for the next best thing: she sticks out her tongue at kate, and holds her breath until the laughing stops. “i bet it’s nowhere near as funny.”

        she opts for a mockingly scandalized look, hand resting over her heart as she responds, “ well now you’ll never know. ” with a shrug of her shoulders, kate hides her growing grin behind her hand and quirks a brow, “ so joke’s on you and i can totally throw out a good who’s laughing now quip to seal the deal. ”

“no, no - please,” cassie manages between bursts of laughter, “i swear i’m listening - and i swear i’m taking you seriously, i just-” she breaks off into giggles yet again, face scrunching up with her amusement. “i can’t control my laughter sometimes. i know it’s not that funny.” but it only makes her laugh harder.

    “ look, i get it. i’m a natural comedian. i don’t even have to try - yada, yada. ” she waves dismissively, but there’s a grin on her face that’s only growing the more cassie giggles, “ but at least let me get to the punchline. it was gonna be ten times better than all the middle. ”

   a frown creases dinah’s face, and she glances dubiously in the mirror for a few seconds.  “ i think being around all these baby-faced heroes has me paranoid.  i’m considering botox. ”  it’s a joke, but barely.  mostly, dinah is feeling some sort of anxiety about the lack of adults in her life.  there’s babs, sure, but everyone else may as well be an infant.  “ the justice league is usually here to talk me down. ”

       “ sounds like a fun friday night dinner conversation. ” kate quips, splayed out in a chair opposite the older woman. “ does anything i say count if i’m one of those baby faced heroes ?? ” at least she’s past the point of being carded at random places now. that was always a bummer. “ whatever. you’re super hot. throw botox out a perfectly placed window. ”

    colin’s posture doesn’t exactly convey great confidence.  his hands are shoved in his pockets, shoulders slouched in a way to make him look a little bit smaller.  the last few years && a hell of a lot of supervillain grade steroids have shot him up like a fucking beansprout, and colin still isn’t used to it.  and especially not here, not where colin can’t quite get his balance.  this is the place to be, but being here might not be his place.  it’s a weird thing to get his head around.

brooding is cut a tad short as he hears a garbled little sound, meow-adjacent.  tearing his gaze from the window and it’s unremarkable view, colin crouches down to pick up the cat.  it’s an ugly little thing, a true testament to gotham resilience.  she looks like god wanted to make a hairless cat and gave up half way through, left colin with a cat with a few patches of fur and the meanest little face you’ve ever seen.  all aloof exterior forgotten, colin makes a little kissy face at it and grins at the answering purr, stilted and loud.  “ no one said we weren’t allowed to bring an animal, technically, ” he says by way of explanation.

   “ is that what that is ?? ” woah - okay, kate. just because she’s more of a dog person doesn’t mean she has to be one of those people. “ i mean, cute.....cat?? super unique. hope it has a name like no one else. ” really, the more she looks at it, the cuter it gets; sure, her one eyed canine companion has this feline beat by a mile, but kate’s also pretty biased when it comes to lucky so - at least she’s self aware. “ either way, for the record, skating by on technicalities is absolutely valid. it works wonders later on down the line. ”

“If you starve then it’s all on you for thinking survival means stealing other people’s food.” Wally points out with a laugh, though he lets her take a slice anyway. “Hey, that’s me. The most gracious guy around, always here to help a friend in need.” He says as he winks, though it’s not entirely untrue. He might need a ridiculous amount of food, but he’s not going to let someone starve because of him either.

   “ hate to break it to ya, man. if mean girls taught us anything it’s that we’re all a bunch of wild animals so yeah - survival totally means stealing your food sometimes. ” that’s also like prime time news on animal planet if that’s more wally’s speed. whatever. kate’s not gonna pass up on the pizza any longer. she takes a bite and groans dramatically, “ definitely gonna marry this pizza. fall wedding. very hipster. you can be the ring bearer. ”
