Hereeee's Cassie!

[Emma]

tag core titans | 560 | Knock knock The sunlight streamed down, trying to blind the young hero. However, years of flying around after Diana had taught Cassie well. A pair of aviators sat atop her nose, metaphorically laughing at the light failing to achieve anything other than warm Cassie’s behind. Metropolis had been left behind hours ago, a wordless hug had been the only sign of farewell. Neither Cassie nor Diana made mention of the possibility that this might be their last time together. It was not the first time they had gone up against impossible foes, and it would not be the last. Wonder Woman had flown east to meet up with Superman, and Wonder Girl flew west to head to Jump City and the Teen Titans. Her trusty duffle bag sitting along her back, and her headphones blocking out the wind noise with some heavy bass, Cassie glided her way past the city limits. She was in no rush, enjoying the warmth of the sun. But a quick glance at how close the glowing orb had gotten to the horizon put a little burst of speed into her glide. She had told Robin she would be arriving today, probably best to arrive before the day was over. As she flew over the city that was her new home, Cassie’s eyes were drawn to her destination. A giant T in the middle of the bay. Compensating for something Robin? You’ll hit puberty eventually…. probably. She thought with a sly grin. Cassie hadn’t met any of the Titans before, even when Batgirl and Robin had worked with Batman. Somehow they never seemed to go to the same Justice League meetings. It was weird, they were like cousins in Hero terms, Superfam, Wonderfam, and Batfam. But aside from a few texts here and there, no real contact. That’s not to say Cassie didn’t feel like she knew them. The fangirl is strong with this Amazon, and the fanfic is in bountiful supply. Tumblr is both a blessing and a curse when the tumbles are about you. The conversations over the phone were her first direct contact with the boy wonder. And his voice, high pitched with youth, had surprised her, used as she was to no nonsense Amazonian commands.  Having now passed over the water, Cassie touched down on the lawns outside the Tower. Unhooking her headphones, she stuffed them in the duffle before approaching the door. Stretching as she walked, Cassie was in no rush. No doubt her landing had triggered some alarm, and someone was tackling the staircase on their way to greet her. Working the last kink out of her muscles, stiff from flying all day, Cassie reached the door. Doubting anyone would hear if she knocked, the teen settled on waving at the camera with a grin.

With a mighty yawn, Beast Boy stretched his feet out from the couch.  Muscles and joints gave a series of pops and cracks as a satisfied grin crept over his lips.  His 3DS in his hands, green eyes moved back to the screen as a free finger turned off the 3D effect.  His eyes could only take so much.  Now, he could go back to playing Pokémon.  Pausing the game as he looked around. 

No one here to boss him around and tell him to turn down his game.

The triggered alarm made him jump as he nearly threw the handheld system out of his hands.  Setting it down, he ran to the system controls in the living room.  He poked the flashing button, but nothing happened.  "Come on..." he said, continuously poking the flashing button.  Perhaps if he poked it enough, it would eventually work.  Or, that was simply Beast Boy logic in a nutshell. 

Sighing, his free hand rested on the touch screen.  One of his fingers touched the appropriate key, disabling the alarm, the video feed from the camera popping up.  Scratching his head, he looked at the young hero that approached the Tower.  Instinctively, he thought it was Terra.  His ears flattened a little as he realized it was, in fact, not her.  However, he suddenly remembered Robin saying something about a new Titan coming to the Tower today.

What was her name again? 

Magnificent Girl?  No...  That couldn't be right.  It was then that he saw the golden W's on her shirt and he slapped himself on the forehead.  "WonderGirl, bro.  Duh."  From the space between his fingers, he watched her approach the door, look up to the camera and wave.  Like some sort of clown, he waved back.  Until he realized that she couldn't see him.  Looking around once more, he was glad no one was here to view this level of ridiculousness.  He probably would have died from embarrassment. 

Booking it for the door, he stopped himself before opening it.  He glanced himself over.  His white t shirt didn't have any stains, his khaki shorts weren't covered in crumbs.  His low top Converse didn't look tacky.  He looked mighty presentable.  You know, for Beast Boy.  Slowly opening the door, he gave WonderGirl a quick smile.

"Sup?"

BB + Titans | 364 | Knock knock Ok Cass, real talk for a sec. No matter who opens that door, there will be no squeals or tackle hugs. Game face time! Wonder Girl now, fangirl later. Cassie gave her mini mental monologue / pep-talk a quick nod of agreement, just as the doors slowly started to open. Green fingers crept into view, and Cassie clenched her jaw to silence the inner fangirl. She knew exactly who's fingers those were, the green an unmistakeable icon in Jump City. And moments later her hopes were confirmed, the door opening fully to reveal Beast Boy and his monosyllabic greeting. “Wonder Girl, reporting for duty!” She cried jokingly, whipping her hand up into an exaggerated salute. A gesture which lasted mere moments before the giggles hit. Grinning from ear to ear Cassie floated forward and turned the salute into a wave. “Beast Boy right? Got anything to eat? Been flying all day and i. am. starved! You can give me the grand tour on the way to that mighty fine kitchen i spied on my way down.” It’s not like she demanded he let her in. More like cunningly weaved a web of words where he’d feel like a right meanie if he refused to let her in and see if all those fan theories were right. Was there really a mechanical troll in the basement? Did Cyborg really sleep standing up? Did Robin play with “action figures”? Did Raven share the basement with the Troll? Was Raven actually the troll? So many questions!

Internally, he let out a sigh of relief. Atleast she was friendly. She was also cute. When she approached him, waving, he smiled and waved back. The smallest of blushes creeping over his cheeks.

Running a hand through his hair, he chuckled nervously. "Yeah. Robin said you were coming today. Welcome to Jump City. I hope the trip was uneventful. Yes. Beast Boy is the name, cooking mad awesome food is the game. I actually have a garlic and spinach pizza in the oven, if you would like some of that."

He then blushed, stepping out of the way. "Please, come in." En route to the kitchen, he listed off the various rooms as he passed them. Giving them minor explanations as he was a simple lad. Simple and short. Stepping into the kitchen, the timer went off on the oven. "Hooray!" he exclaimed, putting on oven mittens before taking out the massive pizza.

Cutting up the pizza, he placed a fresh communicator on the counter. "You'll have to speak to Cyborg on getting it properly programmed. But, Robin said you'll make a great addition to the team." He smiled, offering a slice of his pizza to the newest Titan.

“Uneventful is for sure the right word. Legit, the biggest highlight was running into a trio of Goose… Gooses… Geese…. Geeses? Sexy turkeys basically. Anyway, i’ll introduce you guys sometime. Bob, Bobette, and Bobarella seemed like they were looking for a Bob of the Beast variety to join their crew.” Cassie grinned, nudging Beast Boy playfully with her last words as she floated past and into the famed Tower on his invitation.

She was miles away from subtle as her well trained teenage nose went on the hunt for a whiff of this gourmet pizza of legend. In-between sniffs she nodded along seriously to BBs 10 words or less descriptions of the halls and rooms they passed. Unfortunately, there was no clear evidence to prove or disprove the 'Raven is the Troll' theory, and a hint of disappointment crept into her heart when she thought of all her fellow fangirls and fanboys she’d leave hanging tonight on reddit.

That thought was promptly destroyed when the first waft of garlic reached her questing nose. Redditers be damned, pizza is always first priority!

Beast Boy led them into the kitchen just as the timer went off. His cry of victory echoing the demanding grumble of Cassie’s stomach. A grin spread across her face as the realisation that she was in the Tower, about to eat pizza with the one and only Beast Boy, and now semi-officially a Teen Titan fully hit her.

And then it happened. The loveable green fur ball of fun placed a T-Comm on the table. Her T-Comm. And then he topped it off with a slice of pizza extended in the other hand! Cassie’s hands didn’t know quite what to do… So naturally she grabbed both. Grinning from ear to ear she shoved the food of the Gods into her mouth, taking a moment to be thankful that in her excitement she hadn’t tried to put the communicator in there too, and tried to mumble out a response.

All that came out was a series of grunts, which almost made the young hero choke. So Cassie swallowed and tried again.

“I’ll do my best. And by the Gods this is good! Waaay better than the instant noodles I was planning on cracking open tonight.” She quipped with yet another grin.

((S'allgood, g.  I ain't tripping.  It was a very enjoyable read.  Worth the wait.  ^_^))

A question mark appeared above his head upon the "sexy turkey" remark.  There was something quirky about this girl.  And, that was just fine with him.  He was rather quirky himself.  "I'll pass...  I run with enough crews, mama."  He beamed.  The Tower had been filled with a lot of solemn and grim dispositions as of late.  It was both relaxing and entertaining to see someone who was able to have a joke here and there.

Perhaps there was a great deal of excitement because she had received her communicator, but she seemed to really enjoy his pizza too.  And that was what he was focused on.  He took a bite himself, and smiled.  It was good.  But, not as eye popping as he was hoping for.  Perhaps he wasn't using enough garlic.  Or put too much cream in when he made the base sauce.  Or maybe it was the cheese.  It was a new recipe, and he would have to tinker with it.  The next would be better.

"Oh, no no no no.  You take all of those instant noodles and you throw them right in the trash.  As long as you're a Titan, we will never make you suffer through rubbish food.  I'm glad you like the pizza, though.  Thank you.  I think next time, I'll throw a bit more sriracha in the sauce.  The heat didn't make it through the oven.  That's okay, though.  That can be fixed..."  He walked over to the fridge, a slice of pizza still in his hand.  He reached in and grabbed two root beers and the bottle of sriracha.

Juggling the three bottles and the slice, he made it back to Cassie, setting a root beer down in front of her and putting thin lines of sriracha on his pizza.  Setting the slice down, he popped the bottlecap off of his root beer and took a long drink.  "I'm glad you're here.  We're going to need all the help we can get against the Citadel.  It's like this dark cloud looming over the Tower.  It seems that everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong.  That's why moments like these are so important. 

"Maybe, just maybe, if I can get some small details of our normal lives going, then there might be a few more smiles.  Or maybe it's just wishful thinking.  I just don't even know anymore."  He frowned, setting his root beer down.  "Sorry.  It's just something that's been weighing on me lately."
