The Beach Scene (Open & Non-Srs)

[Deleted]

Spring Break was in the air. Teens were released from school early, and now there was a week of parties, surf and sand that they were all looking forward too. One of these teens in particular,was Mei Walker, better known as Manipulation to her fellow team members.

The sun was shining bright over Jump City and the weather was warm and the perfect beach weather. So the plant manipulator decided to pack a large picnic lunch and invite her team members for a "Titan's Day Out" at sunny Jump City Beach.

Mei was wearing a deep green and gold bikini that she filled out well with a pair of denim shorts and wicker wedge heels. She wore an off-shoulder green top that showed off her bare shoulders.

She had been the first to arrive on the beach, and sat up a rather large shaded tent and various towels and blankets. Finally, she set up a waterproof radio and turned it on, humming along to the tune of Katy Perry's "Firework".

To be honest, Nana was a terror to deal with when she first arrived. Her few nights at the tower were spent alone, save for a few times when some of the nicer 'Titans' tried to contact her. She had finally cooled down and settled back into her more, docile nature. Still, there was a chance that she would revert into her nervous state, but for now, she had only one thing on her mind.

And that thing, was the beach.

"Nana will find shells today! Nana will make pretty things with shells...so Nana can make friends..."

She was an awkward duck of a girl, but really, all she wanted was to make nice with the others. She felt so...guilty for her actions before. It made her almost regret not learning English so soon. They treated her like a kid because of that, but she wouldn't lose hope on getting on their good side, no sirree. They were going to like her and that was that!

So, got a bucket and while they weren't looking, trudged her way down to the beach, barefoot and all.

Once she got there, however, she realized that she wasn't alone. And wearing her dress to the beach wasn't exactly a good idea, either. Manipulation seemed like such a nice person, but she wasn't sure if she liked her as much. She decided to tread carefully. She also tried to imitate her manner of dress, by removing her own.

She wore a plain bra and underwear set that was white and blue in color, but would serve it's purpose as a makeshift bikini, for now.

Her scars were plain to see, but she tried to ignore this discomfort with her body. After all, there was no need to be shy at the beach, right? Right?

After clearing her throat, she made the first move in interacting with her green thumbed acquaintance, "Mani-chan~" her voice was sing-songy and quite sweet, "I didn't expect you to be here at beach. You getting shells for friends, too?" It was her best utterance of english, so far, her accent was still heavy, but she was pleased. "It's beautiful, no?"

Mani looked up at the sound of Nana's soft little chime of a voice. "Oh Nana, what are you doing here?" she couldn't help but smile at the smaller girl's happy-go-lucky voice. Collecting shells? "Oh, no I invited everyone to a picnic here. I was trying to find you, but you had gone. Now I can see that you came here," she nodded with a grin. Her eyes traveled down the other girl's body, eyeing her outfit. "Oh darling, are you wearing a bra?" she asked with a small smile. Nana was younger, but still. This was too cute.

"Here, I think I have a spare bikini you can wear! It will look really pretty on you, and it is too small for me. I think it will fit you well," she said, reaching into a beach bag and removed the little yellow bikini. "If you want to try it on, you are more than welcome to!" she said with a gentle, motherly smile. "There is a shower and restroom right over there," she said, gesturing to the little brick building. "And I will watch your shells. Here, you can put your bucket right over here by my things so that no one will mess with them." She reached out and ruffled the petite girl's

[Deleted]

"Oh, sugoi!~ ありがとうございます。, Mani!" She kissed the older girl's forehead and hugged, "So cute!" She left her things with her friend as she ran up to the changing kiosks which were located near the edge of the beach.

She changed and came back, a lot more happier than she was before, "Mani! What kind of shells do you like? Nana will get it for you!" She wanted to know about her, but for now, her favorite seashell would do.

The beach brought back many memories, mainly the one where she had first met the Titans. They had played beach volleyball, and Robin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when she got there. It didn't seem like she had spent about a year with the Titans now, but it was true. They had accepted her as one of their own. She couldn't remember if she was exactly their first non-original member or not, but she was one of the first ones for sure.

Now she wore the same bright yellow bikini and her cowl to still protect her identity. Secretly, she hoped that Robin would be here and realize that she was the best option for him. Starfire was always off with Blue Beetle anyways. It still didn't make her feel that great to be second-best, but if it got her Robin, she was fine with that. They argued once and a while now, but they were still best friends. She only hoped that they could be more than that.

When she arrived, she saw that Mani was already there. Waving her hand in the air, she smiled and raced over to the girl, her flip flops flinging up sand behind her. "Hey Mani! Thanks for inviting me."

It was Spring Break, so Mirage was far from shocked upon seeing the beach she was currently hanging out in covered with teens. She just floated amongst the ocean’s cool waters on her back in her white bikini allowing for the waves to carry her around. Due to her skin’s ultra-sensitivity to the sun from being an albino she had applied tons of sun tan lotion prior to hopping into the ocean.

Like the Teen Titans Mirage did attend school and like them she was let out early. And like some superheroes that went she was considered a freak of sorts at school. She had written a doctor’s note to her principal to allow her to wear her large red sun hat that continuously pumped water wherever she walked. She feared if she didn’t that she’d dry up like a prune. Her hat and her literal duck feet made her subject to many stares from the normal teens. But her charms and beauty made her a favorite to the guys.

Now out on the water she used her enormous sun hat to keep her face and her blue facial tattoos covered. To some people it may have appeared that she was in trouble even though she really wasn’t.

Ever since her fight against the fire manipulator and her alliance with Aqualad she softened up quite a bit. No longer did she kill criminals. Instead if they were male she would hypnotize them into turning themselves in and have them tell the police that The Water Dragon sent them.

As she layed there lazily on her back a small that came from seemingly nowhere caused her enormous red had to go flying off. Reaching out for it she noticed a small boy out in the distance appearing to be in trouble. Glancing all around she didn’t see any of the lifeguards swimming for the boy. How they did not notice him she did not understand. After all, it is very likely the lifeguards of this beach could all hear and that boy out in the distance was surely screaming since he was thrashing about in the water.

Wasting no time Mirage swam at a high speed for the drowning boy. By the time she reached him he was sinking. “Hold on kid,” she called before diving after the boy. Seeing him sink Mirage grabbed him and pulled him up to the surface. “Gotcha,” she said to reassure him as she swam back to the beach with him in her arms. Once on the beach she sat him down. “Are you okay?” she asked him since she realized he was still conscious.

“Oh my baby! That’s my baby!” called a distraught mom running over to them. “Oh thank you so much for saving my baby boy! How can I ever thank you?” It took her a minute, but Mirage recognized both the woman and the young boy. “You… Oh no not you two again” whispered Mirage with a grumble. Just her luck that she ended up having to save the same kid twice under his mother's watch. If she has to do it a third time... “Me?” asked the woman taken aback. “Oh hey, you’re that same water girl who saved my son from that burning building. Funny running into you like this again and you saved my kid yet again…” Mirage only glared daggers at the woman standing before her for in her heart she felt that this woman did not deserve to be a mother. “Yes,” Mirage all but hissed, “you can thank me by getting a babysitter since you clearly are too preoccupied to keep an eye on your own son.” “But…” interrupted the woman. “No, I won’t hear your excuses. I won’t always be there to save your son. He was very lucky I was here both those times, but there may be a time when I won’t be then what will your excuse be? So, I will say it again either get a babysitter with a better mother instinct then you or pay better attention to your son,” Mirage sharply lectured. The woman clearly not amused in the least by Mirage’s words glared back at the heroic siren. “How dare you speak to me this way? Come Roderick, we are leaving,” the woman growled as she picked up her son and stormed off. The boy just waved back at Mirage as his mother carried him over her shoulder. Mirage just shook her head in agitation. ‘Of all the irresponsible, stupid, unappreciative… This woman should pray to the gods that we do not meet again...’ "You're welcome!" she yelled after them.

Now alone she recognized one of the three teenaged girls grouped together from her high school and because of her proficient swimming abilities she is the captain of the high school’s swim team. Of course being a senior this is her last year. She didn’t even want to think about that. But she always supposed she could go to college and go for the swim team there assuming they even had one.

One of the girls she never saw before (Nana) while the other…wore Batgirl’s cowl or at least it looked like her cowl. Curious she ran over to them grinning. “Hey guys, how’s it shaking? Oh, I hope I am not interrupting anything it’s just that I recognize you from school.” “Well, I recognize you anyway,” she clarified, giving Mani a nod. "Mei right? I don't know if you remember me or not, but I'm Mirage Baxter, the captain of the swim team at Kingston's High Academy,“ she said with a smile offering Mani her hand to shake. Just one of those strange local human customs Mirage learned while at Kingston. "And you…are you really Batgirl?” she asked Barbara, her pink eyes twinkling with curiosity. Feeling dry she put her red hat back on and it started pumping out water. Then turning to Nana she smiled. "Hi. Are you new? Do you go to Kingston too?" she asked trying to be friendly. Being deaf she tended to speak very loudly without meaning to.



ooc: I hope you guys don't mind, but this irresponsible mother and her son is gonna be a sort of running gag for my characters esp for Mirage. I hope it is not too dramatic as I intend for it to be humorous.
Also as you can see I added to my post to make it easier for Mirage to get some interaction. Hope no one minds this.

Mirage hadn't been the only Atlantean swimming by the shore that day. Large green fins poked out of the water, followed by round, ridiculously large red eyes set within a comparatively small skull. These eyes stared out at the shore, fascinated by the amount of human life swarming the beach.

Lagoon Boy hadn't visited the surface world for quite a while. The last time he had been up here was with his friend, Garth. Of course, Garth had left Atlantis to fulfill his duties as Aqualad and join Titans East. And that had been some time ago.

But now rumors were stirring the waters. They were saying that Aqualad was back with this city's Titans, and La'gaan, upon hearing this, had immediately readied himself for a trip to the surface to see if these rumors were true. This left him at a beach relatively close to the giant, strangely constructed home the Titans had built for themselves. He had figured that finding a Teen Titan wouldn't be too difficult, but he as scanned the shoreline he realized...Neptune's nuptials, he didn't recognize any of these people!

La'gaan was distracted from his fruitless search by a small, frightened voice. "M-M...Mon...Monsteeerrr!" The fish boy was so startled by the cry his entire body nearly leaped out of the water. "Triton's teeth! Where is it? Where's the bea--" Lagoon Boy's frightened ramblings were quickly silenced as he noticed a small girl cowering several feet from him. And her eyes were fixated on none other than his fish-like form.

....Oh.

La'gaan's webbed ears seemed to deflate a bit, round red eyes blinking slowly at the trembling girl before he dived back under the water. He popped back up a little ways down the shoreline, still determined to catch a glimpse of his princely friend. Though his eyes didn't see Garth, they managed to notice something almost as interesting. A heavily tattooed girl with giant pointed ears was conversing with some surface people just a little ways inland. It was hard to tell from a distance, but her strange hat made La'gaan wonder if she was Atlantean. And if she was Altantean, perhaps she would know of their great prince's return!

Fishy ears waggling in delight, Lagoon Boy swam to shore, this time ignoring the pointed stares and the occasional gasp or shriek that came his way. The fishy lad made it all the way over to Mirage before hesitating, webbed digit poised to poke her shoulder. He decided that poking was rude, and he should try a more dignified approach. So instead he took a deep breath, wiggled his nose--and squirted Mirage in the back of her neck with a small jet of water.

Yes, that was much more dignified.

OoC: Samster, your writing is freaking amazing! Just FYI. C:

BiC:
Ian had to admit: the Jump City coastline was one of his favourite things about this side of the country. The beach had always been a favourite of his, but New York waters provided for little swim time (Especially for the cold-blooded citizens that walked the streets of the city).

Being in the sun and in the water? Ian was perfectly content.

He hadn't met Mani personally, but he'd heard tell of her, heard the stories (And the recipes reviews) and knew how much she'd been missed while she'd been in Europe. That said, he'd jumped on the chance to both spend a day in the sun and the surf and meet an apparently iconic member of the team.

He just had to find her first (Which was easier said than done, considering the beach resembled a Where's Waldo game).

Standing at the top of the dunes and looking around, Ian took in the scene (While a few girls also took him in and giggled while they did so). He was wearing a pair of black cargo shorts, (being as he wasn't exactly a Speedo kinda guy XD) and he figured they could easily double as swim shorts. He'd gone the day without his 'supersuit,' sorely hoping his snake form wouldn't be needed today (And he figured his chances were good, considering he hadn't had to shift since he'd gotten to Jump C;), and all he wore over the shorts was a thin black Green Day shirt. His hair was wind blown, with the sea breeze, and he'd worn his contacts today for normalcy's sake. (All in all? He resembled what might happen if Hot Topic took their advertisement photos at the beach.)

Glancing around, Ian sought out any Titan he might recognize, and got lucky when he noticed Batgirl still wore her cowl despite her little yellow bikini (Not that he entirely minded the get-up, mind you). Once she was spotted, most of the rest stood out like sore thumbs. There was a girl in white (Who could have been a spirit of the sea, even with her large red hat), two cute gals he hadn't yet met (Which felt like a sure sign that one of them had to be Mani), and a swamp creature from beyond the waves.

He snorted in amusement and began his trek through the sand to meet them. Titans were so easy to spot sometimes....

"Hey ladiessss," he greeted with a smile and a devious flick of his tongue at Batgirl, who happened to be closest to him. "What'sss happenin'?"

[Deleted]

Mani smiled as the other girl kissed her forehead and bounded away like a little rabbit to go and change. Chuckling, the girl shook her head before pulling out a bottle of sun lotion for her sensitive, sunlight-absorbing flesh and began to lather it on. Nana returned and the girl looked up, nodding approvingly at how the bathing suit appeared on the other. "Oh! I really like any kind of shell," she said with a kind smile. "They are all beautiful-" she was cut off as Batgirl came racing towards her.

"Hey Babs! Glad you could make it!" she said, waving back at the girl. She turned at the sound of feet pounding against the sand and spotted a very familiar, rather unforgettable face. "Ah! Yes, Mirage. I remember you quiet well. And yes, it's Mei," she took the girl's hand and gave it a gentle shake, blinking her widening eyes at the strange Atlantean creature that appeared behind the albino girl. "Um... hello there," she waved at the boy. He looked oddly familiar... perhaps he was a friend of Garth's? Yes, that was where she had seen this young man.

At a hissing voice, Mani turned, her large gray-green eyes locking with Ian's. "O-Oh! Hello," she managed in a slight stammer, feeling her cheeks tinge the slightest bit pink at his devious tongue flick. This must have been Deimos, the snake boy she had fondly been filled in by gossiping Ink over cooking dinner one night. Extending her hand to him, she flashed a pearly smile. "I'm Mani..."

[Deleted]

A beach day. A beach day! Of all the kinds of days there could be, THAT'S the day today decided to be.

Goddammit.

There was a bathing suit in his hands. Red ones, as opposed to his usual white and blue. But what was the point? He acted like a vampire in the sun. It's not that he couldn't handle it, it wouldn't burn him-- other than sunburn-- but it did physically weaken him. In the day he loses some powers anyway, and in direct sunlight... it really drained him.

But everyone will be there. And he has been here for a while, quietly haunting the tower, being generally creepy. He didn't have any friends yet. Time to act like a normal person.

Pfft. You? Not likely.

You need to shut the hell up, Jack.

Anyway. He was going to go whether he would act normal or not. And he was sure he wouldn't. But he was going to try.

It's sort of lonely when the only person you talk to is the idiot in your head.

Shut up.

Yes, that one.

Ecto sighed and changed into the swim trunks. He felt so exposed. And naked. Frowning, he levitated back into the air, phasing through the walls and out of the Tower. The sun hit him and he immediately felt like he couldn't fly for too long. Man, it was beating down on him.

He flew as fast as he could to wear he knew the Titans were laying out towels. He spotted them on the sand, and phased through the tent at top speed, slamming into the ground. Ow.

Smooth. Now they'll be lining up to be your friend.

You know, you're one to talk about having no friends.

You're one to take the liberty of slamming someone else's body into the sand.

You just wish someone would let you slam their body into the sand.

The only thing you're slamming is---

Okay, as the author, I am going to cut this off. Both of you, behave!

Whatever.

Okay, so now he's at the beach, hiding in the shade of the tent.

"Hey!" He called out to the people outside, who he hoped hadn't noticed his clumsy entrance, "Uh, what's... what's up? I like this tent."

[Deleted]

Ink was thrilled when she heard about the beach day that the titans were going to be having. But knowing that her team mates where teens she decided to go a bit more prepared then just a beach towel and her swimsuit. She and Harvey got to the beach last, missing all the fun antics that came before her arrival, but came bearing gifts. Gifts that fit conveniently into the cooler strapped to Harvey behind her under her large beach bag.

She stood where Ian had not that long before her and spied her team. There was Ian and Ecto in swim trunks, Batgirl in her cowl and itsy bitsy yellow bikini, Mani on her pretty green and gold one,and even Nana was in a blue bikini... which made the conservative Scottish lass feel kinda out of place in her vintage swimsuit that was basically a short dress for the water.

She waved and had Harvey amble on over so she could show them the goodies she had brought for their day by the sea.

"Ah hope the party hasnay started without mae." she said with a laugh once Harvey stopped close to Ian. The wee lass jumped off her beasts back and unhooked the cooler and bag. "Ah brought lunch, drinks, sunblock and wan o those umbrellas people like tae hide under on days like this, just en case the tent gets crowded." she said with a grin as she set the cooler down and popped open the umbrella.

Once she was done with her small amount of labor to set up less confining shade then the tent offered. she observed the two new strange teens that had washed up onto the beach. One was dressed even more old school then she was in her white dress and red sun hat, and the other was clearly an Atlantian with all of his fins and fish like appearances. "Ets nice tae meet yea two. Mae name es Ink."

[Silv]

There was easily a hundred better things Robin could be doing with his time.

While it wasn't necessarily easy to persuade Robin to do things that he didn't want to do, there were certain members of the team that were better at it then others. Last night it had been Donna who had chastised him for forgetting that he was a human being, with human needs, and not indestructible. While he hadn't been terribly happy with her for pointing all this out, especially while he'd been pissed off about his own inadequacy and wailing on a punching bag, some of the matter had gone to heart.

So, here he was, on the beach. Hooray. He was wearing his regular beachwear. A pair of green swim trunks, a red tank top, his utility belt (paranoia didn't just disappear after a single talk...or hundreds) and a pair of sandals that he knew he could run in. Despite being ready for the beach, the young superhero was also ready for trouble. However, just sitting around, building sandcastles, chasing waves and whatever nonsense you did at the beach seemed like a waste of time to Robin. So, he had brought some files with him, and his computer, in an indestructible case that only he could unlock. Paranoid? Nah.

He'd let the others go on ahead to deal with a call from the police that had come through their private line. So, as the Teenage Thunderbolt approached their area on the beach most of the things were already set up. Good. That meant he didn't have to deal with that. “Hey guys!” he greeted as he crossed the sand towards them, feeling out of place out of his uniform around his friends, his eyes lingered on Batgirl a little longer than the others. There were a pair of Atlanteans he had never seen before, but he assumed they were simply friends of Aqualad's popping by for a visit. He didn't even give them a second glance as he wandered over to the tent.

The Titan's leader gave Ecto a brief smile as he sat down by him before popping open the case he had with him and pulling up the computer files. He certainly seemed like he wasn't going to be relaxing anytime soon. The last thing he wanted was to waste a day. And, anyway, working outside with the others around was kinda-sorta what Donna had suggested he do. At least she wasn't here to yell at him. He could never thank Wonder Woman for needing her assistance enough today.

[Elenaphant]

It was a wonderful day to visit the beach! The sky was clear, the sun was bright, and the weather warm enough for more temperature sensitive beings like humans to enjoy it. Starfire was thrilled. Going to the beach meant that she would be allowed to soak up sun and wear less clothing without being considered inappropriate. They could play many games in the water, in the sand, and most importantly they would be together doing something fun! Her attitude about this was as sunny as the weather outside, and she didn't take long getting changed and joining them.

Starfire was fascinated by her sandals, curling her toes around the rubber strap keeping her shoes in place. However, she realized that it was a lot more rewarding walking through sand barefoot, so she took them off and started running across the beach toward her friends. "Hellooooo!" She greeted happily from a distance, waving her sandals at them. She could fly but that wasn't the point.

She came to a halt before the group and dropped her sandals on the ground. "Friends, how good it is to see you! And... have we gained more friends?" She was looking past Mani, Batgirl, Nana and Ink toward Lagoon Boy and Mirage, tilting her head curiously. Before anyone could answer she went ahead with assuming that yes, yes they were. "The more the merrier or so it is said! We must have all of the fun in the water! Teehee."

She then noticed something a little unusual for what she knew of a beach scene. There was this tent in their vicinity? It was triangular and strange to her, so naturally she peers inside. What she sees is Ecto sprawled somewhat on the floor and then Robin, huddled over what looked like...

Work? Ugh! No, no no. This was not the time to be working, and she knew if she left him to his devices he would continue to do so. In this instance, the play would come before the work. So Starfire had decided. She waved to Ecto with a mischievous giggle, inviting him to take delight in what she was going to do to their leader.

"Greetings, Robin." she smiled pleasantly and grinned down at him. She drew in closer, practically leaning over his shoulder as if she was interested in what he was doing. "It is a nice day."

A nice day for being daring and taking initiative. She moved quickly, grabbing him beneath the knees and around his torso, and pulled him out of the tent. Giving him no time to figure out how he would wrestle his way out of her much stronger arms, she took flight into the air. When they were high above the water, she grinned down at him pleasantly.

"Prepare to hold your breath." was his only warning, when she lifted her knees canon-ball style, and let herself fall into the water with him from diving board height. The splash they created was quite something. Of course once they were submerged in the water she freed him, so that he may safely swim up to air. She emerged and flipped her hair back out of her face and laughed. That was so much fun!

[Kenni]

Speedy & Aqualad:

"So you're just gonna leave me here...?"
Aqualad was walking slowly away from the sand-coffined ginger in neon-orange Ray-Bans shades and matching fiery trunks, Roy's toes wiggling in protest at the bottom of the mound.

"Awkz, I thought what we had was special, man!"
Was that who Garth thought it was...?
He tipped up his own neon-blue 'Bans, meeting his long-time friend's eyes from afar.

"DON'T YOU WALK--RUN, AWAY FROM ME, YOUNG MAN..!"
"FORGIVE ME ROY-WILLIAM BUT BIGGER FRIENDS HAVE I TO O-FISH-IALLY GREET--LA'GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!"
Speedy watched, craning his neck enough to free his neck alone from the hard-packed sand-coffin, as Garth Brooks dog-piled the strange-looking amphibious Atlantean into the ocean behind them. A blur of white trunks with black accents and navy muscleshirt tangled with the spied Lagoon Boy's black, gold-accented green, and tumbled through the salty froth, most likely taking Mirage along for the ride whether she liked it or not.
If she was ever to have it in for the prince, she sure would now!

"What...? All this time I thought you were a Fish-boy, not a Dog-one." smirked the ginger, hiding his hurt at being slighted for what appeared to be Brooks' longer-time-bestie. He sighed, and laid his head back in the sand, getting comfortable in his prison and dozing back off again (which had been his undoing in making him trappable by Aqualad's whim in the first place).

[Aly]

Batgirl nodded to the newcomers in turn, murmuring a small "Yes." To the question of whether or not she was really Batgirl. Of course she was. Who else would traipse around in a cowl like hers on such a nice day at the beach? She had applied a generous amount of sunscreen to her face so that she wouldn't get funky tan-lines around her eyes and mouth. Now that would be embarrassing.

She was getting quite the amount of attention in her yellow bikini. Completely opposite of what she would have been like when she first arrived and tried to make Robin jealous, Barbara just folded her arms across her chest and looked away from the gawking snake-boy.

As she looked away, she saw Robin walking down the beach. Though he was in beachwear, he was still wearing a shirt and his utility belt. She hoped he wasn't planning on getting wet. Maybe she and the other girls would drag him into the water later... after taking off the belt, of course. Robin would be absolutely pissed if he got that thing wet. Unsurprisingly, he also carried a rather large laptop case. Of course he would. Babs rolled her eyes and looked away from him as he entered the tent and sat down.

People were arriving in droves, and Batgirl kept quiet. She was out here to enjoy the company of her friends, though she would have preferred to stay inside and find out more about the certain "mole" in their midst. Robin had it right, though. At least he had brought his laptop.

As she watched the shoreline, she could see Starfire running towards them. Why was the girl running and flinging up sand all over her backside with each step? She smirked as she went into the tent, knowing what was going to happen. Though she and the Tameranean girl had gotten off on the wrong foot, they were at least civil now. When Starfire exited the tent with Robin cradled in her arms, Batgirl gasped.

"Wait, Star! Don't do that, he's got his-" But she was too late for his utility belt as she reached a hand towards the airborne two. Starfire was flying into the air and dropping at a fast pace. Barbara turned and went into the tent, not trusting Ecto there. Without a word, she picked up Robin's computer and nestled herself into the corner with it, scanning the files he had up.
