RJ couldn’t lie by saying that the situation he came from was okay — nothing about the things he had been forced to do should be thought of in that light. Entire diners full of innocent people slaughtered just to test his techniques. The joke was on the boy the whole time since nothing he ever did seemed to be good enough. “Thank you. I worry about them coming after me while I’m staying here, but I was promised that it IS safe.” He doesn’t want to wield a weapon if he doesn’t have to, not for a while anyway. RJ was tired of fighting so much.  “You don’t need to explain the specifics to me — I GET IT. Family is family, right?” He was silent for a moment, reflecting on all of it. “It’s an honor to meet you though, Cassie. You might just be the first friend I’ve ever had. I feel like making snacks together makes it pretty official.”

the quiet laugh that passed her lips wasn’t entirely intentional – it wasn’t necessarily what he said that was funny. his situation sounded awful, but the thought of anyone making a move on titan’s tower was amusing. “this place is as safe as they come, the only other places that could be safer would be themyscira, which i don’t think is on this earth yet, or that batcave – i don’t even know where that is.” her shoulders shrugged as she mused it over, stuffing another piece of popcorn in her mouth before offering it over to him. “sometimes the family you choose is better. that’s sort of what the titans are about. i mean, i guess i’m luckier than some, my parents are alive, technically. my mom and i aren’t super close anymore.. she’s not really big on the whole superhero-ing thing, and my dad is zeus – but having a greek god for a parent isn’t as cool as it sounds. you definitely lucked out with dick.” cassie offered with a small smile. “i absolutely agree – and don’t worry, you won’t have a shortage of friend’s around this place.”

Rose hadn’t been able to sleep that night, her mind too cluttered thinking about their quickly-changing world. But nothing cleared her head better than hitting something. Repeatedly. Hard. One of the dummies in the training room was her current victim. 

Hearing Cassie’s voice behind her, she paused and turned to face the blonde. “I don’t mind,” Rose shrugged, sounding for a moment like she was going to be pleasant and not take an opportunity to provoke Cassie like she usually did, “…As long as your air of superiority stays on the other side of the room.” Her typical snarkiness returned. “Weird time to come and train, though,” she pointed out as if she wasn’t also training at that time.

cassie hesitated when for a brief moment, immediate suspicion setting in when it seemed as though rose wasn’t going to give her a hard time. she was nearly positive getting a reaction out of her was some sort of game to the other girl, and of course, the blonde let out an expected huff of breath when rose finished the sentence. “–there it is.” she said expectedly, her eyes giving a quick roll. “i knew you wouldn’t be able to stop yourself.”

she moved further into the training room anyway, now resolving on being too stubborn to leave. “i guess i’m just weird.” her shoulders shrugged as she pulled her lasso off her hip. “there are a lot of people around lately, i don’t want to scare them off or something.” in other words, she didn’t need them all to know how much control she didn’t always have. “i probably won’t lose any sleep at night if i scare you away.” it wasn’t likely, and she didn’t entirely mean it, but it was easy to say. rose may know how to work her nerves and patience, but at the least, she kept things interesting and was loyal to the team. “wait, if it’s so weird, what are you doing here?”

“well i wasn’t planning on parking my ship in this city, i used to land here when i landed on terra trips - which were rare as i only sent my crew out while i stayed back - but anyway, why is this the last city to do that in? should i lock my ship up?“ peter rambled before realizing that she might have given him a warning about the random city. he wasn’t a stranger to thieves, hell he was a reformed thief who sometimes still five-finger discounted things - didn’t mean he wanted other people to do the same in return to him. “wait - what - a bat infestation? what the hell kind of city is this!?” he asked incredulously before turning to point at her.

“yeah? it’s cause i’m half alien - technically a god, so you know half god, half human - which like, no one ever believes me but it’s true and i wouldn’t lie about that because i hate my dad and if i could have chosen a normal human dad over him, i would have.“ he sighed, wistfully thinking of a better time when he was ignorant to ego and all the shit he pulled. though it was nice that someone immediately thought of him being an alien first and not some human kid that got abducted and taken on a space journey for most of his life. “space had a spazz out and shot my control system to hell so i came to terra - earth - whatever to figure this shit out,“ he placed his hands on his hips before nodding to her, “star-lord by the way, or peter if that’s easier.“

“first of all, yeah, definitely lock your ship up. i mean, if you can turn it invisible or something, that’d probably be ideal. second, things have really changed around here. this city and me, aren’t even from this reality. it’s all just merging together like a big ugly car wreck you can’t look away from.” she didn’t really realize she was just rambling back at this point, but maybe she wasn’t the best welcome committee to welcome people back to earth and explain why everything was going to hell. “something like that... they have superheroes here that dress up like bats.” she laughed before shrugging. “they range from nice to just broody. it’s their villains that are a real trip. there’s a guy that’ll basically just try to riddle you to death.”

her brows shot up in surprise, well – it wasn’t every day she found someone else she actually had something in common with. “really? i – i believe you, it’s really wild, i know but my dad is a god too? and yeah, it’s really not as cool as it sounds, right?” she loved being a super hero, and having powers, but to have a real dad? it kind of seemed worth the trade off. “my dad’s zeus, like from the greeks? he has a lot of kids though, no one can really know how many, so it’s not really a super special thing or anything.” she rubbed her neck, glancing off to the side. she didn’t like to sound like she was bragging about anything. her head nodded in understanding before looking back to him. “i’m cassie, or wonder girl. it’s good to meet you, peter.”

her feet barely touched the ground as she moved down memorized halls, hoping not to wake anyone. despite the titans tower being large in size, it still felt as though the place was becoming crowded – not that cassie minded, she liked most people, but that didn’t make it less crowded. she made a few adjustments, like altering the times she used the training room. she paused at the door way, glimpsing inside to see it was already in use. “rose – sorry, i can come back later.” she was quick to offer it, how well the two got along tended to vary. cassie’s short temper never seemed to help. “unless you don’t mind sharing the space?”

His arms catch the items passed onto him, setting them down carefully on the counter.  RJ was just happy to be included, smiling genuinely watching as she moves to throw the popcorn in the microwave. He spent the time looking at the ingredients labeled on everything else pulled from the cupboards. He had been careful about what goes into his body up until now, but is looking forward to not caring as much. RJ looks up when Cassie returns with the popcorn bag. “I haven’t no. My eating habits were controlled my entire life up until recently. I was only allowed to eat when THEY let me. I don’t mind talking about it.” RJ admits since being open might help making friends. “My foster parents handed me over to this organization called HYDRA when I was six. They raised me to be an assassin from the first day I was given to my HANDLER. I don’t do that anymore, since I broke free from their control. I was then brought here when Dick found me living in the street by myself. I’m RJ Grayson.”

“well to hell with those guys –” her nose scrunched, attempting to keep her face from contorting in disgust as he spoke of his situation. she busied her hands with pulling open the bag of hot popcorn, dumping the contents into a bowl, and tossing some chocolate candies in with it. “sounds like a shitty situation to come from, sorry you had to go through it.” comfort wasn’t exactly her forte, but she wanted him to feel welcome here. they all needed this place for one reason or another. “but you’ll be safe here, and dick’s a really good guy. i mean, i don’t really know a whole lot about good father figures, but he’s probably one. he’s kind of more like a big brother in my book, because he’s friends with my sort of sister, donna. it’s complicated.” she paused, knowing he really didn’t need her to ramble at him. “i’m cassie sandsmark, or wonder girl.”

It does make RJ smile genuinely at being able to eat unhealthy like this JUST BECUSE YOU CAN. He steps closer, opening arms to offer the help in taking some of the items in her arms. “Want help with carrying all of that?” He offers softly, feeling like this was the best thing to do right now. He knows what it feels like to want to be around the company of others, and not left alone. He’s spent enough time with his own thoughts. “It sounds like we’re about to have the ultimate snack on our hands here. I’m hungry just thinking about it.”

“uh – sure, we can just put it all on the table and go from there.” she shrugged, letting him take some of the stuff from her. for as much as cassie could lift – super strength didn’t make her arms any longer and it’d simply a bit awkward. once she was able to get to the table, she dropped down the remainder of what she held, spreading it over the surface. “i’m going to throw the popcorn in the microwave quick, it’ll just take a second.” taking the packet back to the kitchen, she put it in and got it started, coming back with it shortly after. “you haven’t gotten to do a whole lot of big snack sessions, have you?” she asked, mostly out of curiosity. “can i ask what your story is? you don’t have to say, not everyone likes to – which is totally fine.”

diana hadn’t hesitated to agree to visit the titans tower – both as a chance to see where her sister was staying and just to spend time with her in general. “you sound happy here, cassie,” diana replied with a smile as she glanced from the rooms in question and then back to her sister. “i am happy for you. i think this is a good fit for you. the other titans are wonderful, of course,  and it looks clean– despite the number of young adults living here.” she teased, laughing softly. “do you only have cereal in the kitchen?” she raised a brow, her tone shifting to one of slight concern. “i will take you shopping, if that is the case. it is good for breakfast, but variety is always good for your other meals as well.”

happy was maybe a subjective term, cassie knew that. she couldn’t argue that she had a short temper and a habit of getting herself into trouble, but she knew this place, and more specifically the people there, made her better. “it’s been good, being here. i wouldn’t really know what to do with my own place, and someone’s always around.” her hands absent-mindedly fidgeted in front of her, she knew diana was an optimist, cassie didn’t want to disappoint her. she let out a small laugh, nodding her head. “yeah, i mean, some are definitely cleaner than others – others not so much.” admittedly, she was usually kind of a mess. yet she’d managed to clean up having known diana was going to visit. “don’t worry, we grubhub or uber eats for a lot of other stuff, or i do. we just stock up on cereal because some people could eat a whole box in one sitting. sometimes we also just have groceries show up at the door, i always assumed that’s batman’s doing but i don’t question it.”

      “okay…” he’d been late to the party, but at least he’d made it. standing at the foot of the walkway to the benatar, peter placed his hands on his hips as he glanced around his surroundings. “who the eff put a city where i usually park?” he called out to particularly no one but still leered at anyone daring enough to look at him or his ship. “what kinda crap hole city is this? anyone? why’s everything dark? is it night time or like polluted? is it the aesthetic of this place? should i get my black jacket?”

      he pondered for a bit before shrugging and checking his hip for his guns before sauntering his way into gotham. “anyone know where i am? i need to find new york? hello? am i still on terra?” he turned and stared around, mumbling to himself  “friendly place, glad to see i landed in the mister rogers neighborhood of things.”

( @earthstarters​ )

“this is probably the last city i’d pick to park a space ship in.” cassie pointed out after landing on her feet, arms folded in front of her as she looked over the ship with a tilted head. she didn’t particularly like being in gotham, but there were people here she cared about and with everything that happened at halloween, she wanted to keep an eye on it. “knowing this place, you’ll end up with something stolen off of it or a bat infestation.” she shrugged, fully aware that the reference likely wouldn’t make sense to anyone not familiar with the area.

“you don’t look like any alien i’ve met, and i’ve known a few.” she started, taking a step closer. “you’re human, right? i don’t know a lot of normal people flying space ships, though. but yeah, this is earth or terra or whatever.” she may not have been the most surprised at someone arriving from space, but it’d get the civilians talking pretty soon, she figured. “did space not have the reality clashing memo?”

The boy stops when entering the kitchen. RJ knows other heroes live here — not that he was one of them. He has too many ghosts in his closet haunting him at night to ever feel like someone would want him part of their team. He thinks trying to do some good with his learned skills someday would be NICE — a way to atone for his sins. “I could go for some snacks. What’s the occasion?” RJ decides to approach her, an opportunity to make a friend. He wants to know what it’s like to have at least one. “What about drizzling some chocolate on the popcorn?”

“no occasion,” cassie shrugged in response, arms full of the various junk food items. “i mean, unless you count me just being hungry – and it just puts me in a better mood.” she cast a quick glance in his direction, “and it’s better shared.” that much was true. she didn’t really know where everyone was, and despite her putting on the bravado otherwise, cassie didn’t like to be alone. she was always better with her friends. she perked up slightly at the suggestion, nearly dropping some things but maneuvering to keep ahold of it all. “now you’re thinking! i like mixing some little chocolate crunchies in there too, so some drizzled on top sounds perfect. there isn’t much that can’t be made better with chocolate.”

[ofwcndergirl]

for all intents and purposes, diana was her sister. well, half sister – if they were going to get technical, but that half was half god so she figured it counted for quite a bit. but it wasn’t as if they were particularly close – they weren’t raised together, like other siblings were, yet she knew diana cared. plus, cassie always had a bit of hero worship issues. still, she wanted to do what she could to continue and maybe even improve their relationship. that was why she offered to show her around titans tower, to show her where she’d been staying. “we all have our own rooms, and then extra rooms for new people or guests and honestly the teams change all the time. like the original team donna was in, and mine with tim and conner and bart.” she shrugged, diana probably knew most of this but cassie was admittedly bad at this. “and we have a training area downstairs, and a kitchen with a lot of cereal.” ( @ofgodkiller​ )

[ofwcndergirl]

there were always people coming and going from the titans towers – the teams had changed and altered through the years but the place was there for any of them when they needed it. cassie was grateful for it, because she wasn’t really sure where else she’d go anyway. sure, she could ask diana for a place to stay, and she’d most likely let her, but she didn’t want to bother her. instead, the blonde was pulling various junk food items from the upper cabinet – hovering several inches in the air in order to reach. “hey new kid!” she called out, spotting him in the corner of her eye. “you hungry? i have popcorn, chips, dip, and chocolate. meal for champs.” ( @amendcr​ )

Wally was everywhere all at once LITERALLY — while mainly focusing his time on protecting the civilians even if knowing Lois was a badass all on her own, and looking through some of the evidence. He wanted to be useful, and this is how he was putting himself to work so to speak. The speedster had been flipping through stacks of papers, hands vibrating so fast as he looks through them that it probably looks ridiculous to others. Wally stops, his masked gaze looking up when someone is talking to him. He was fortunate to have work his ring to the party that had his suit in it. “Nice work. Where’d you find him?” Wally asks as he looks over at Lois with a smile after. “You want to play GOOD COP — BAD COP with me?”

[ @suitedviolet​ ]

Lois gave a mock bow at Wally’s suggestion, unable to keep a grin off her face. “It would be my pleasure.” Not for the first time she’d felt a little envious of Wally’s speed-reading, and she was itching to get some action anyway after seeing her fellow teammates at work. Plus, she always found talking to real people much more EXCITING than going through pages and pages of stuff. More… lively, though she had to say that literally playing good cop, bad cop was something that she rarely got to do — she didn’t want a reputation as a hard-ass journalist, after all. With that, she walked right up to the upside down thug, hands on her hips. “So? How does that sound? Think you’re gonna co-operate, or should my FRIEND over here get to have a little fun too?”

[ @wallacwest​ && @ofwcndergirl​ ]

her brow raised at the prospect of watching lois and wally play good cop, bad cop on this guy. part of cassie wanted to laugh in amusement but assuming she was the muscle in this situation, she settled for a quick grin and tightening her hold on him. “oh – hold on, i don’t know how much he’s hearing with the blood rushing to his head.” she realized she’d still been holding him upside down, and quickly gave him a small pancake-like toss to flip him right side-up. cassie grabbed him by the arms tightly,  and with them still hovering in the air, the thug didn’t have much choice but to cooperate for them. “i suggest just working with them because not to brag, but i could break you like a kitkat bar.” with some added pressure to his arms to emphasize her point, he seemed ready to talk.

cassie wasn’t really sure who made the decision that the evidence was more important than the man himself. this city was corrupt, how much was evidence work? if she could get her hands on penguin, she was sure she could squeeze a confession out of him herself. maybe not pleasantly, but after what he’d done tonight, she wouldn’t feel bad about it. but she couldn’t get him now, so she’d settle for the next best thing. after giving one of the last remaining thugs a good throw, she scooped him up and flew him to where they were collecting the evidence, staying some distance above the ground to keep him dangling upside down. “hey if you guys are looking for information, i’d take a bet that this guy might know something.”

      well, tony knew the girl was strong - almost impossibly so, but then again given all the shit he’s been up against he’d ought to just entirely assume that everyone is amazing and to be admired. taking his phone out of his pocket, he began to work on a way into the network of the building as he sidled up next to the younger woman. “i’m tony, i think we haven’t met but at this point i can’t be sure - anyway, i think i found a back door into these things but if you want to go ahead and give me ideas about what we can do, i’m all ears.” he paused and glanced at her, “because you look like someone that’s like me, regarding the plan and just doing what you think is best.”

she didn’t really like waiting. impatience was in her nature and usually among her greater character flaws – and if she didn’t have to worry about others, she’d just storm the turrets. but others have paid the price of brash decisions before, she didn’t want it to happen again. “cassie... or wonder girl, i guess.” she wasn’t the type of hero to have a mask, her identity was rarely hidden anyway, no point in it now. “i can destroy the guns – or rip them out and throw them at someone, i haven’t really decided. these –” she gestured to the metal cuffs on her arms. “– aren’t part of the costume. amazonian metal, bullet proof, and i’m not exactly typical mortal material. but if i go after a turret before they’re under control, i’m afraid they’ll turn on the rest of you. that’s about as far as i get in the plan department. the rest is just to hit stuff.”
