Titans: The Revised Adventures RP

[FenixZero]

The skies over Vector City errupted in a sonic boom, like a great storm rolling over the towers of glass and steel. If someone could hear anything over the roar of the sound barrier being shattered, they would hear the sound of a young man's excited yells.

"WAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOO!"

Performing another barrelroll in mid-air, Superboy burst through the cloud cover and streaked down towards Vector. Superman could break the sound barrier as easily as most people broke a promise, but Superboy was still no where near his power level. Still, cross-country in a little over 3 hours was pretty damn fast.

"Tactile Telekinesis ladies" He chuckled to himself as he swooped over a group of high school girls waiting for their ride somewhere. He flashed his most charming smile at the girls, gave them a wink and then twisted his body back up into the air

New costume, new city, and a whole new chapter in life. Damn it was good to be Superman's clone. Even if the man was back in full effect in Metropolis that was no reason why Conner couldn't get his hero on.

Holding his arms out to his sides, he shot like a missile towards the city streets, weaving between the cars gridlocked in a traffic jam before twisting up into the sky.

The first thing he needed to do was find the heroes he'd heard about in Vector. The Titans. That'd be a good chance to show his stuff.

"Check's here." Raven held up the paper, then a $5 from her pocket. "That should cover me. Think I'll wait outside for you guys." She stood up, starting towards it, then glanced back to Beast Boy, still held by Starfire. "I'd ask if you want to come with me, but Star'd have to let go of you first..."

"Ohh... Funds." Star released him, biting her lip as she glanced to Robin. "I.. do not have much of those." She dug around in her pocket, then held out a handful of change and a few bills. "I believe I shall need employment." She blushed, leaning over to his ear. "I... found these..."

 

[Remec]

Garfield smiled and dropped to the floor as a snake. "No she doesn't," he told Raven as he scurried over to her feet and looked up at her as an overly adorable bunny. "'Eh, what's up, doc?'"

Roy (Finally)

OOC: Thank you Jeff for stating I still had a place in the thread. I'm going to do one huge post before work then I'll grab up when I come back. Wow lots has happened but no time. And If I flirt with anyone taken remember Roy doesn't know yet.

And now for OOC: IC stuff. You do not have to read my whole post. As it will likely run like more than a page and a bit. Roy will leave hit the station and hear about damage. He'll investigate that till Angel's death hits his desk then he'll research bane but come up short on Bane Junior. He'll be a little aback and stay up all night likely working and Drinking and talking to people. If Afternoon ever hits he'll call Dick and find out about the warehouse.

The party seemed fine and it was a good get together. Lots of new blood for Dick's Titan's team. A lot of cute girls too. He was getting ready to talk to a babe calling herself Angel, Which she certainly was, When he felt a buzzing on his hip. He walked off to take the call in some privacy.

"Hello. Yes, Mr Connor's, No. What. I'm busy Sir. It's not like I'm some expert on meta's or their behaviour. I don't why some guy would rip an engine out of a getaway and then steal the robber's wallets. Isn't there someone else. Fine. I'll be there. No I don't think Superman has become a mugger. And If he has I am not trying to take him down."

Roy looked a little crestfallen but recovered it. He had paperwork and a pinpoint on new meta crime. Turns out some new guy was muscling a few dealers. Running about town with a lot of power. And now it was his case. He had to go. He gave Di a quick kiss and smiled. Waving goodbye to most of the peopple he had met.

"Hey Dick this sounds like a great idea and I'm quite in. Money, time and my bow ya got it. But I have to leave. Work calls. Some meta running about ripping engines out of escalades and roughing up dealers."

Dick was enthralled by a Coppery Beauty. Maybe Grecian but those eyes. Roy wasn't sure. No one seemed to notice him leaving as he went back to his bike, and drove to the station.

"So what is so important I had to give up a foursome for it." Roy seemed miffed but he said it in good humour. The cops he workled with were all good people, and they helped him a lot to mature and be a better person. And to see regular world perspectives.

Connors told him that there was a string of Meta activity. A robot outside a store Donna was in town he saw a report on that. And a rash of activity. Very little of it to do with Drugs or anything he'd be on.

"So what is up, I mean c'mon I can't just arrest Meta's because they stop crimes. Where's that coming from?"

"Look roy we have a lot to deal with and as one of the only guys who can tangle with meta's we have to have you alert. Comes from the big high muckity mucks. They want you ready if you gotta stop one of these pajama-brigade clowns."

"Boss, I am pajama-brigade. Seen the red and black thing lately?"

Roy tossed the files down and began recording. Coffee and time ticked by and he filed out who could have gone through. Some scared robbers and Tricksy, who was a small time Dealer came through and gave descriptions to him and the chariacture guy. Tricksy had a real look at the guy, And Roy smiled whispering under his breath about his good luck.

"What was your name. With Donna. Grant; Yeah that's you. Hmm"

Roy thought about it. So the guy was a meta. And likely a poor one. He wouldn't bring the guy in. But he would track him down later. After the paperwork.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the guys had brushed off and it was late. Roy and only a few others were about when A suit came up to Roy and tossed a report and few photos. "C'mon we're heading to the Morgue, see about a little beauty who had her neck crushed in a cemetry. Name of Angel." The suit sipped some coffee and pulled Roy's arm.

"Say what?"

"It seems she went to school with you, And she was a meta. had been working. killed by another meta by her mother's grave. We're checking the secne Got a name, Bane Juniour. Nasty fucker. Want you to see the body and identify the corpse since we can find NO family. then you can look into this. Congratulations detective you're now also part of Homicide."

Roy couldn't quite grasp this. he had just talked with this girl. Hours ago. now she was dead? And he had to indentify it. Why he had barely talked to this girl. And she went to his school. What a waste this was. Roy couldn't even think about getting this kind of promotion because some Meta died. He looked over the dossier on Bane but found almost nothing on Junior. Bane looked like a piece of work though. And If junior was anything like his supposed pappy, Roy would have his hands full. He'd need a serious heart depressant in a few arrows to slow him down. Maybe Daizepam, or Lithium. And new tips to penetrate the skin on that kind of brute. He hoped there were no poly shields that would make it even harder.

Soon they were at the hospital and Roy wanted to punch this suit's face in as he sipped his coffee loudly. The sound was maddening. An attendant pulled the freezer and there she was. her red hair still flawless around her. Roy felt a pang of greif at just meeting this girl and flirting with her. He wasn't sure if his being there would have helped If he hadn't gone to work, but death always bothered him. Even though he didn't really know this girl. her death was a powerful catalyst.

"That's her." Roy kept the files and walked away from the Suit. He'd taken the suit's keys and he may well leave him here. He would.

Roy took the black beamer the suit drove and raced back to the station. [Someone lived large] Roy thought bitterly. Not liking the suit at all or his motives. He was just pissed. And felt tired. He'd pissed off a girl Dumped another, and seen his old flame with another guy. now someone was dead and he never got to know them. today was kind of a shitty day he realised. And it had started so well. He pulled up to the station and logged in to records. He had some reading to do. And requests to make.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hours ticked By. Roy had filed so many Probes and permission and background checks his hands felt numb. He'd drunk two pots of coffee he thought. What was it 5 am? 6? 7? He didn't know. Records had so little on Bane, Or Junior, and all he had to go on was a steroid freak. Well some Heart slowing medication would have to work. Just have to get it in a vein. And While he had his drug requests approved almost instantly, It'd be a bit to work them into arrows. He was adding Doses of Daizepam to Special arrows. Making marks to know the arrows. But it was slow going. In between his workings and his web surfing for reading, He was really getting a headache. He checked the bottom of his screen. Halloween. Oh good lord. He had to patrol everything tonight. with the new policies on certain metas and the vandalism in the city. It didn't matter what your job was. All hallow's eve you wandered the streets. He couldn't sleep now though. It was far too late. Just have to slug it out all day. He ran his hand over his chin. The stubble and shadow so attractive yesterday, were beginning to become a patchy beard. And he really looked like he hadn't slept. He'd shower in barracks and then ride out. Get breakfast. More coffee. Call Dick later. He got up ignoring the morning shift coming in and Logged his ID out. As he walked A girl handed him an envelope and a detective's badge. He barely noticed on his way to the showers.

As he stripped and walked in he was alone. For really the first time all day. No crowds no people. Just the water rushing over him. It was a comforting sensation. Just being alone. He almost feell asleep standing but when the water turned cold he hurried to wash his hair and clean. He'd go out to get food. Avoid all the rest of rush hour. After that He'd go looking for this new meta with donna. Talk to the guy. convinve him that trashing cars and roughing small fry wasn't the best way to go about it.

As he walked out he still looked haggard. He got a new uniform this one actually in the Red and Black. Good thing it was halloween. He grabbed a Pistol crossbow with burbolts. Maybe he'd hit the range later. He picked up his cell phone as he was walking out the door, Calling Dick. It was still early he thought. Or it was 9 am his screen flashed at him. He just hoped Dick had the same Emergency number on his cell phone. If he still had a cell phone. So many if's. Roy waited while his bike idled. Two bows were stowed in pieces and spare arrows. Roy just had the thought he should be taking them today.

The phone rang, and rang, and rang.

OOC: And this is where I'm gonna stop. It's still early. He's likely behind Grant and Donna in the park, and has missed breakfast but maybe he can meet up with the team at the new HQ. So Tag Jeff. Or Lily. Dick or Star, Maybe Ashton has the phone. Is Roy even calling the right number? But Tag.

 

[showdolly]

“Sure!” said Mina with a smile. “Feel free to explore other opportunities. And you can hang with me anytime you have a craving to get a pussylicking.” She giggled.

Di giggled, then snuggled in for another sweet kiss. "Sounds like a plan then. And, I hope to return the favor very, very soon." She smiled, then kissed Mina again before rising out of the water. "So. You got plans today? I mean, you might could tag along with me if you wanted.... I've got plans with Ashton and Dick today, all regular kinda stuff, but... if you and me are gonna be a 'thing' then I've got some things to tell you I guess. Besides, you'll want to meet the crew as soon as possible."
And most especially, she wanted to get Mina near Rachel soon. Rachel was a good one, though be it kind of dark and a bit of a loner, it seemed. But, the girl could also probe minds, and she thought it well to ask the girl to search out Mina's... just to make sure she was trustworthy before divulging too much to the new friend. Well, more than a friend, really. Girlfriend, Di realized. She now had... a girlfriend. Well, you just never know these days, do ya?

Besides, breakfast was still in Mina's car and Di was dying to eat it now, Mina's activities having made her even hungrier. Surely the group was finished with breakfast now and would be headed... well, probably to the new place. She'd call Dick, ask him their whereabouts, have him let Rachel know to do her mind thing on Mina before Di brought her to the new hideout, just in case. Di dressed quickly, then disappeared into the restroom a moment to do just that, then reappeared to see Mina ready to go, and smiled.
"Shall we, then?" She linked her own arm with Mina's and the girls found the car, Di guiding the newbie to their destination per Dick's instructions.

"Cute." Raven cracked a smirk, getting the door. "Keep hopping, Cottontail." She gave him a slight boot in the behind, then stepped out herself. "Reikka is going to get hell for this," She grumbled, turning out of the line of sight from the windows and using her powers to clean her shirt. "That wasn't me being a clutz. Riekka decided to share."

 

[Remec]

"Reikka is going to get hell for this," She grumbled, turning out of the line of sight from the windows and using her powers to clean her shirt. "That wasn't me being a clutz. Riekka decided to share."

"That must save tons on dry cleaning bills," Gar commented as he returned to human form and rubbed his butt where Raven had prodded him along. He gave her a curious look. "Shared what? I didn't hear anything, so to speak."

 

[Mephistophelily]

"One of my abilities is telepathy. So is Reikka's... and she took advantage of that." Raven paused, glancing at him. He was friends with Vic- She wasn't sure how to say it without actually SAYING it. "She and Vic are, um... getting comfortable." She gave a slightly disturbed frown, looking back to her shirt. "Really comfortable. She.. shared that with me in an emotional link."

 

[Remec]

Gar's eyes bulged at the information Raven gave him. "Man! That is so like Vic. Always the ladies man. Football hero. etc etc...," Gar ranted with a shake of his head. "But why share with you and not the rest of us? That's so uncool."

 

[Mephistophelily]

"I think someone might notice a tableful of super powered teens all moaning like dogs in heat. They're getting pretty... heavy, last I got from her." Raven glanced at him, then started down the sidewalk. "I could probably tap back into it, but we should give them their privacy. If she doesn't want me in there, and finds me trying to get in, we could do each other a lot of damage." She shook her head. "You really don't want to see that."
Her black clouds formed about her hands, lifting herself fromt he sidewalk as she looked to him. "Care to check out this new building Robin's been eyeing?"

 

[Remec]

Gar nodded. "Sure, why not?" he said as he became a parrot and followed Raven into the sky. His eyes took in the way she moved through the air and he sighed to himself. "I just think it'd have been cool to experienced it, that's all."

I mean, with the girls in our group? Mmm...especially her. Raven realized that Gar had been thinking about her on his last thought.

"Just lead the way, no racing after eating for me." He laughed and spun a barrel roll about the other hero before settling in above and slightly behind her in the form of a bright green raven.

 

[Mephistophelily]

"Believe me, you don't want to have it that way. An unexpected feeling like that can really confuse your mind..." Raven glanced back to the green parrot catching up beside her, her eyes widening a bit as she caught the thoughts of him.
That slowed her down a bit, surprised at it.
His antics caused her to smile again, though a bit of what seemed to be a blush rested on her cheeks. "Please don't bring breakfast back up while you're above me. I just cleaned this shirt." She smiled as he took on the form of a raven. "Hey. Nice choice."
She glanced back down, looking for the building Robin had been talking about as they came up to the bay.

 

[The Jeffinator]

OOC: Wow man, Roy must be all that. He’s already a Detective when usually you can’t even get into a police academy till age 21 . And BTW, a detective is usually a higher rank. Officer, Sergeant, Detective, Lieutenant, Captain, Police Chief/Police Commissioner (depends on the area. Usually east coast are Commissioners and west coast Police Chiefs). And I’m probably missing a few ranks, lol. But yeah, this is our world, so we can make it whatever we want. I was actually thinking of having Dick become a cop eventually, since he did in the comics. First he was a bartender during the day and Nightwing after dark in his own comics. Then he joined the police force to stomp out the corruption from the inside as Officer Grayson and from the outside as Nightwing . Also, since Robin already gave out communicators, I’m going to assume Roy and Di were both smart enough to call him on them and not cellphones . Also, I don’t know why everyone’s off to the tower. Drake said he and Stone would meet them there Saturday afternoon, and it’s still morning. I mean, wasn’t the whole idea behind this set up to have them waiting in the park for the meeting at the tower, and in the process meet the others and all are finally united?

IC:

Vic pumped her pussy as hard and as deep and as fats as he could, feeling their orgasms finally about to come. He felt the feeling in the back of his cock explode out, filling Reikka’s pussy with his hot seed as she started thrashing and screaming. The feeling hit him, harder than anything had ever hit him in his life. The overload of ecstasy was so unbelievably intense that he felt himself yelling out in what was audible as the roaring of a bear, but what he really was yelling was “Reikka! Reeeeeiiiikkkkaaa!”. His mind shattered, his cock exploding in what seemed like a never ending orgasm until finally, it did. He collapsed into Reikka, his breathing ragged and shallow, his heart pounding harder than it ever had.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Don’t worry,” Dick said with a smile, “I’ll pay, Star.” Dick paid the remainder of the bill, then walked outside with the others. Suddenly, his communicator rang. It was Di, and after promising to pass on the message to Raven, and telling her it was too early to go to the tower yet, they agreed to meet in the park. Dick had just given the message to Raven when his com rang again.

“Hello?” he answered. It was Roy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mina smiled, and the two drove off. After a few minutes, she became slightly light headed, her vision distorting. Her hands trembled on the wheel, and she broke out in a cold sweat. Her heart began racing and she suddenly had the urge to vomit. Pulling over, she walked to the side of the road, finally buckling over and upchucking the contents of her stomach. She staggered over to a sign, using it for balance, wiping the taste of bile from her lips with the back of her hand. She looked down, and shrieked as she saw the residue on her hand was a silvery purple. Her eyes grew wide and she stared in horror as her skin rippled with the silvery purple color. Her hair began to fall out, and her skin seemed to melt away. The strangest thing of all was that she felt no pain, just a sort of liquid sensation. Suddenly, she couldn’t breathe. Her lungs were full of liquid. She was drowning.... in herself? her limbs dropped off and hit the ground with a splat, turning into liquid. She tried to scream, but nothing came out save for gargling sounds. Then, after one last silent scream, her head vanished into the puddle of silvery purple liquid that oozed over the ground, the ripples dying down until it was completely still.

The silence that spanned the next long moments was unbearably deafening, but Mina wasn’t dead. She could see, hear, even think, though it felt as though she were under water, yet, it felt natural. She could breathe, she felt wonderful! She may be a puddle of goo, but she was alive, and felt better than ever! Suddenly, as if these happy thoughts raised her up, she felt herself getting taller. She felt her legs, her arms, and even her heartbeat. The silvery purple ooze took human form, fleshed out her features, and suddenly, she looked absolutely normal again. She looked at her body then to Di.

“Did you see that!” she exclaimed excitedly.

 

[lil_squirter]

"Well, it's open to the public...so I guess any kind of costume is good." "It's in a museam, so maybe something historical?"

"Maybe, let's see what they have and go from there."

Grant lead her along, true to his word it was not far at all to the shop. Just as he'd said there were still full racks of costumes and many people sorting through them looking for one for themselves. Donna eyed the shop and then looked to Grant.

"Well, are we brave enough to go in?"

Her smile was equal parts mischief and sparkle, now she was getting excited about the party. Getting to be something she was not was always an appealing thought. Donna practically dragged Grant along and into the shop, passing a group of small children dressed as Jedi and the usual assortment of witches and goblins.

Donna let go of Grants hand and slipped her way back to the adult costumes. Closest to the dressing rooms were the women's costumes so she started there, thumbing through a few rows before she found one that made her burst into a wide grin. She grabbed it and with the trademarked red, gold and blue, and headed back to show Grant for a laugh.

 

[showdolly]

Di's eyes were wide, her breath ragged, as she watched Mina's... transformations.

“Did you see that!” she exclaimed excitedly.

Di could only nod her head yes. Great. Just freakin great. Would that happen to EVERYONE she had sex with? God, Di hoped not! Maybe it was just the hot tub or something. Well, Raven would soon be probing the girl, and she'd know, and thus report it to Dick most likely. Either that or Di would have to tell him herself once they arrived at the park.
"Yeah. I saw it. Get back in the car, Mina. Can you drive, or do you need me to? We've got a lot to talk about, I guess...." Well, just shit. She'd have to tell her now, wouldn't she? Well, she could tell Mina about herself, explain that it their little... escapade must have somehow triggered transfer of Di's own powers to Mina. But she wouldn't tell her about the Titans yet. Not until Raven could give a report on Mina's heart, intentions, thoughts. make sure she was trustworthy with all of the secrets before spilling the beans.

She motioned Mina inside, driving situation resolved, and took a deep breath. As they drove away, Di began her long explanation, and waited for Mina's reaction. She hoped that Raven would figure things out, or Reikka if it worked better that way, in time for them all to understand.... Geez, Di had a lot of explaining to do!

 

[Armphid]

Grant was glad to see that after those first few minutes of awkwardness, her confidence had returned. Not that there hadn't been something terribly, sweetly, wonderful about those moments. And that kiss...he still felt like he could fly.

The store was still packed with racks of costumes, and had that faint musty smell of packed attic. It was kind of nice...all the dreams of different lives that were in here.

He felt a brief pang of regret as Donna's hand slipped out of his and she made her way tot he adult costumes. He followed, his eyes looking around. As much as he now liked the idea of the costume party, he hadn't given what he would wear any thought at all.

A familiar patch of blue caught his eyes. He paced over to the rack, pulling the costume out. He looked down at the pentagonal shield on the chest, the stylized "S" bringing a smile to his face. Hell, who didn't want to be Superman?

"Hey, Donna," Grant looked around, then saw her approaching him. He held out the outfit with a grin, "Think I could pull off a Man of Steel look?"

 

[The Jeffinator]

“So... this is... because of you?” Mina said slowly, as if she may lash out, but then smiled softly. “So, you’re Violet then? The purple ooze girl? I’ve seen you on the news a few times.” she giggled. “So, I had sex with Violet and now I have powers just like her. maybe now I can join that gig of yours, oh, what did they call it on CNN? Teamo Teenos? I don’t remember.”

 

[Mephistophelily]

"Thank you,Ro- Dick!" Starfire beamed at him as he paid for the food, following him outside and grabbing his hand as he spoke with the others with his communicator. She grew bored standing there, lifting herself from the ground and hugging him from behind, giggling a bit as she kissed the back of his neck. "It is very confusing for me to use these two names for you," she said softly. "Why do you not wish to be known for who you are? I am but me... Starfire."

 

[lil_squirter]

A familiar patch of blue caught his eyes. He paced over to the rack, pulling the costume out. He looked down at the pentagonal shield on the chest, the stylized "S" bringing a smile to his face. Hell, who didn't want to be Superman?

"Hey, Donna," Grant looked around, then saw her approaching him. He held out the outfit with a grin, "Think I could pull off a Man of Steel look?"

Donna could have doubled over in laughter, she held her own find aloft, red bustier emblazoned with a golden eagle, the bottoms of blue dotted with white stars. She'd grabbed Wonder Woman to his Superman, it was enough to make her grin and giggle.

"I think we think alike.Not that I would wear this, a bit revealing I think."

Not to mention chilly, that far north in that sort of climate she would be freezing if she wasn't an Amazon. As it was she would have to pretend to be and that was just entirely too much work. So cute and funny idea, but she would rather go with something a bit more covering.

"Ok, I'm up for suggestions."

 

[Armphid]

Grant laughed, "I don't know, I don't mean to be....uh, too forward, but I think you'd look great in it." He looked at her, imagining Donna in the costume. "Wow...you'd really look like her, like you were Wonder Woman's sister."

He hung the Superman costume up with a pang of regret. "Hmmm, well...what about, Oh, yeah!" He grinned at her, then all but dove into another rack of costumes.

"It's Halloween, so somebody's got to represent for old school horror, you know?" He straightened, and held out an odd costume. It was a simple tattered gray shirt, black pants, and a black jacket. On top of the hanger was a prostheric forehead with a heavily stitched scar and a pair of bolts that were cut off halfway. In his other hand was a long, flowing gown, and a tall black wig with white streaks up the sides. "So, for the night, care to be my bride?"

Donna hung the suit up, deftly side stepping the comment, no need to press her reseblance any more. She didn't think anyone would make the connection so quickly but it surely meant that costume was not her best choice. That seemed alright though as Grant had another suggestion.

Donna squealed and grabbed the costume, taking it back to the fitting rooms for a try. It was flowing enough that she could just pull it on over her clothes and within a few moments she came out, arms outstretched walking in a decent imitation of the Bride from the films. The make up would be a job but it was a clever and classic costume.

It did nothing for her figure. and try as she might to be modest there was some vanity in her. Donna chewed her lip and turned around in front of the mirror.

"Do you think this is too plain?"

She turned to see Grant, the green square topped head piece making him look horribly goofy. She wrapped an arm around her middle and laughed loudly. Ohh that was priceless...where was her camera? She dove for it and came back snapping a picture before sliding in beside him,forcing his arm around her as she took a picture of them together.

 

[showdolly]

“So... this is... because of you?” Mina said slowly, as if she may lash out, but then smiled softly. “So, you’re Violet then? The purple ooze girl? I’ve seen you on the news a few times.” she giggled. “So, I had sex with Violet and now I have powers just like her. maybe now I can join that gig of yours, oh, what did they call it on CNN? Teamo Teenos? I don’t remember.”

Di groaned and shook her head. Of course. She'd have to just level with her. That's what it took anyway, right? If they were to... mean anything?

"Alright, look. Yes. Okay? Yes, I'm Violet. But look, I have friends that can wipe your mind of that memory if you decide to do anything with it. I only told you because... well, honestly because, at least right now, I trust you. Okay? So dont' blow that trust with me by making a miff out of me and my friends. Some of them I barely know. Barely met them recently. So yeah. I'll take you to them, let the ones who can do that sort of thing check you out, make sure you're worth trusting with all this. And then, once we get the okay from... well, from Robin really, I'll tell you more. But for now, that's it. Okay? You understand. Right?"
And, Di took a breath. Was that the only time she'd breathed the whole time she'd been talking? Maybe. She was nervous. Too much was divulging too quickly, and she didn't want to make Robin and the others mad at her for it. Maybe today had been stupid - childish. She was too curious. Damn these teenage hormones!! But what was done was done, and besides, if Mina was really Di's girlfriend now, and they were... well, together of sorts, she'd have to know it all soon anyway. The group would understand, right?

Well, assuming that they'd understand that she was now in a relationship... with another girl. Great. Just freaking great. Yep, Raven, or Reikka, or both of them, would find that little tidbit, too. Maybe they'd have a brain, and some empathy, and keep that much to themselves. At least, the sex part.... The rest would, inevitably, be obvious.

She dove for it and came back snapping a picture before sliding in beside him,forcing his arm around her as she took a picture of them together.

He felt really goofy. The forehead didn't exactly fit, it kept slipping down to the right. Maybe this wasn't the best idea. Still, if she liked it...

He grinned when she lumbered down the aisle toward him, then blushed as she giggled and snapped a few more pictures. "I think you look good...but this isn't going to work for me." The forehead chose that moment to tumble to the ground, and Grant sighed. "Yeah, not my best moment."

"Okay, I think we need a new option." He looked down at her, "How about putting that practices photographer's eye to work?" "Your choice on the next ones." Wierd...this was actually fun. Donna really was amazing, he normally would have hated this.

 

[The Jeffinator]

Mina giggled a bit at Di’s nervousness. “Chill out, you can trust me. I’ll let your friends scan me or whatever, just relax.”

"Okay, I think we need a new option." He looked down at her, "How about putting that practices photographer's eye to work?" "Your choice on the next ones." Wierd...this was actually fun. Donna really was amazing, he normally would have hated this.

She had to side with Grant on that, he was not going to make it in that Frankenstein's Monster costume. So with his suggestion she dug through the racks and pulled out some more costumes. She handed half the stack to Grant and took the rest into her own fitting room.

All they were lacking was some catchy pointless music and it could have been an 80's montage. First emerging with a Pirate Wench outfit, complete with plastic sword. Donna parried with Bart and snickered, dragging them both to the mirror to check the look. His pirate costume looked good but she still wasn't sold.

Back they both went back to the fitting rooms, emerging again with Grant in a slick long coated pin stripe suit and low slung wide brimmed hat. Donna was set to match in a tasseled flapper dress and feathered headband. She handed Grant the toy Tommy Gun from a near by stand and again they admired the costumes, Donna tossed her feather boa over her shoulder and right into Grants face. They both shook their heads.


The next costumes were quick, they both stepped out, took one look at the Star Trek uniforms and stepped back into the fitting rooms without a word. Neither was about to admit that sort of geekdom.

The pile was diminishing as they put the last round of costumes, this one was closer to what Donna was going for, the elegant Victorian era gown looked pretty and it was a very complex costume, aside from the tights and knee pants for Grant it was a great choice. She could see he was not thrilled with those, and the prospect of wearing a powdered wig was simply not going to fly with him.

Donna sighed and hung her head...the dropped angle let her spy another costume...one she had not thought of and only now realized was perfect! She grabbed the male and female versions and handed the former to Grant while she herself dashed back to the fitting room. In no time she'd shed the victorian number and was slipping into the all white garment. Moments later she emerged, chewing her lower lip and just peeking around the door to see if he was ready.

No sign of Grant yet but Donna stepped to the mirror, she turned and looked herself over. A clattering of plastic behind her caught her attention, the stock boy was staring at her and turned away sheepishly as he began restacking the costume pieces he'd knocked over.

Donna heard grant and turned with a smile, nodding to how well his costumed looked on him. A Greek Goddess and the Greek Warrior, the costume was very well fitting on him, and she felt rather comfortable in her own. Though the material was softer and lighter then the garb of Themyscira, it was still the same sort of style.

"I like it, what do you think?"
