After landing on the planet and knocking some thugs around, Irkalla had learned a very important thing about Earth: everything revolved around money. To most people, how much numbered and colored paper you had represented how powerful you were, and regular humans weren't allowed pretty much anything if they didn't have a minimum amount of cash. It was an absurdly stupid system, and she didn't mind taking whatever she wanted whenever she wanted, but even then she had to recognize that disposable amounts of money could open a lot of doors. Like, for example, the door to a house. She needed a regular base of operations, and just invading places and beating people up wasn't really the same thing.
The revolving door froze as she tried to walk in, for reasons she didn't care enough to understand - instead, she merely kept walking, breaking down the foolish door that stood in her path, and chaos soon followed: alarms blaring, civilians running around in unorganized despair, and a small number of security offers moved to surround her and shout orders. Again, one thousand soldiers short.
She ignored the threat, and kept walking. One of the guards shot at her, and electricity ran through her body. The pain was too familiar, too insignificant to make any difference, but she could feel her muscles seize up for a split second before her reflexes kicked in and she removed the wires connected to her, turning furiously to the man that had fired. Two more shots came, and then three more, but she refused to go down and, instead, loudly roared in a fit of anger, pulling off all cables and leaping at the closest guard.
No more than 10 seconds had passed from the first taser shot until all the guards were knocked out except one, now badly wounded, who Irkalla held by the collar.
"Show me where safe is, or none of you wake up."
Few words, but very persuasive ones. The man pointed a direction, and was allowed to walk as he led the way. As predicted, no weapons were required - her mere presence was enough to strike obedience in the heart of the nameless NPC. That, and the fact she had just taken out a trained and armed group without so much as breaking a sweat. After a short walk, they reached the safe, an enormous vault with an equally enormous door, built to withstand absurd impacts.
"It doesn't matter how strong you are... there's no way you're getting in there without the password. This reinforced door has a pressure of over ten ton-" The guard didn't manage to finish his sentence, being made silent by Irkalla's ripping out the door... and then throwing it on him.
The last of the guards now no longer a nuisance, she walked into the vault, starting to fill up her bags.
Kaie liked summer patrols. Once school was out she wasn't restricted to just patrolling nights and weekends, it meant she got to see some more of the interesting sights around town. She still didn't usually have many encounters with villains or other criminals, but she was a good deterrent. People could hear her footfalls from a way off, and once the twelve-foot-tall hero came around the corner, most mundane crooks didn't want to cause trouble. She could be a pretty intimidating sight when she wanted to be.
Today was different though. She was happening by one of the banks when she noticed the revolving door had been ripped clean out, and there was quite a commotion inside. There was a supercrime in progress! Kaie was thrilled, she normally didn't get to deal with these. The giantess pulled out her communicator to call it in before heading inside. "Rumble here, I'm at the Bank of Perez downtown. Front door's gone, looks like a super robbery in progress. Imma have a look."
Even with the door gone, she still had to crawl to get in. Kaie was just glad this was one of those big fancy old banks with the absurdly high ceilings, once she was inside she could stand up straight with room to spare. There was quite a scene inside. A few guards were unconscious on the floor, and the vault door had been ripped clean off. Looked like this villain was working with some pretty heavy-duty superstrength. Kaie made her way to the vault, crouching down to fit in the doorway.
Kaie cleared her throat, glaring down at the smaller super. It was hard to tell if she was tall or not, everyone around her was either out cold on the floor or being lifted, and everyone kinda looked short to Kaie. "Alright, let's stop this here. There's no need for ya ta get hurt." She stayed blocking the doorway, ready to grab at the villain. She wasn't sure how tough this girl was, she didn't want to hit her too hard and squish her. "Jus' come with me all peaceful-like."
She was in the process of filling up the last bag when reinforcements finally arrived. She turned calmly to the girl that blocked the door, acknowledging her presence without stopping what she was doing. "One moment." She turned back to the bag, stuffing it with the remaining piles of money while she considered the situation. She wasn't aware humans could grow that big, and the fact that the giantess didn't seem to be intimidated by her previous shows of strength made the warrior think that, maybe, she could be a fun fight. She was missing those. Zipping up the bag, she turned to the girl, cracking her knuckles.
"Try hurt me."
With no other warning, she leaped, aiming a fast flying punch to the girl's gut, aiming to knock her out of the way like she had knocked the grammar out of the english language. She was carrying the money-filled backpack, which hindered her movements a bit, but probably not enough to make a difference. The other two bags remained inside the vault, though. It would be pretty hard to fight with those, so she'd need to take Kaie out first.
Kaie didn't have a lot to go on. She'd never seen this super before, but she seemed pretty confident. Most people would at least be nervous about a giant looming over them and blocking their exit, but this girl seemed pretty confident about it. She also seemed to be pretty shaky English-wise, so either she was new to the country, or new to the planet. Kaie was suspecting an alien, but it was hard to tell. If someone like Beastboy could be from Earth, a human super could look like just about anything.
She was about to say something when the villain impacted with her gut. Kaie wheezed, the air driven from her. She started to fall back, catching herself on the edges of the vault doorway, the metal giving slightly from the impact. She didn't want to let this one out. There was no telling how much damage she could cause once she was out of the vault. They might mess up the money a bit, but that was insured, that could be replaced. If she started tearing through the streets, a lot more people could get hurt.
The giantess reached out. sweeping an arm across the vault. She still wasn't using her full strength. She didn't know how much this villain could take. Some folks had super strength but a glass jaw, and if that was the case for this one she didn't want to crush her. "More Titans are on tha way, I ain't lettin ya go!"
The giant girl was definitely tougher than all the other earthlings Irkalla had faced up until that point. While any normal human would probably have flown through a couple walls, she managed to stand her ground. The warrior wasn't a stranger to larger and tougher enemies, however, and the saying often held true that the bigger they are, the harder they fall. She reached the floor, ducking under Kaie's attempted strike. The attack was slow, restrained. The alien didn't know whether to feel disappointed or offended, and the threat that accompanied the attack only worked to actually make her feel a little better.
"Good." She leaped from her crouched position straight into the girl's gut again, but this time she put a lot more strength onto the movement. The floor underneath her feet cracked with the intensity of the movement, and she flew like a missile with both fists in front of her this time, a lot angrier than in the previous one. The game plan was simple: Keep landing body blows until the giantess couldn't stand anymore. "Maybe they fight for real." She taunted as she struck, letting out the frustration in her tone. How did this girl even dare to underestimate her? Irkalla would have to make her pay.
If the girl resisted still, even if pushed back, the villain would stick to her, peppering her with body blows as she moved around, careful not to become an easy target by staying too still. If she fell, however, the alien would give her time to get up, taking the opportunity to move the money bags out of the vault. She was a pesky door blocker, after all, and it was good to focus on the objective, which also had the added bonus of not making it seem she was doing it out of some sort of warrior's honor. Apparently that was a heroic trait around these parts.
"You are not good enough!" She snarled as she did... whatever she was doing.
Kaie let out a grunt of pain as the girl slammed into her again. She should have known it would be this tough when she saw the vault door torn off, but she'd kind of underestimated the new villain. She seemed to be mocking her, teasing her about holding back. Maybe the strange new super had a point, maybe it was time to get serious. Kaie caught herself on the edges of the vault doorway again, righting herself and pulling her head back before putting both her arms in the vault. "Alright, listen up!" She clapped her hands together at full force, the boom of the impact echoing in the metal vault. It hurt her ears, but her head was clear of the worst of it.
Hoping the robber was distracted, Kaie made a swipe at her, hoping to slam her against the wall, make sure she stayed down long enough to make her move. The giant dove back, grabbing the vault door and lifting it without too much trouble. It was heavy, but she'd hefted heavier than that. She ran back to the vault, pressing it in place, leaning against it to try to restrain the villain.
"Jus' calm down and wait fer tha cops and tha Titans ta get here!" She dug her heels into the floor, hoping she could hold the vault. The villain was strong, but Kaie had sheer bulk on her side. The villain would have to find a way to move not just her weight and the vault door's, but to fight back against her strength. Unless she had some other way of breaking out. How sturdy were vault walls? Those had to be tougher than the doors, right? Otherwise, why were people always breaking in through the doors?

The roleplay takes place after the series end of the original Teen Titans animated show, but does not include the movie Trouble in Tokyo. Since then Robin has been on something of a recruiting spree, and many new young heroes have found themselves a home in Jump City as well as Titan Tower.
