Titans Together

[conner_el]

Conner was a person like anyone else despite his powers. He ate, he slept, he dreamed. And lately his dreams were strange, connected maybe. Sometimes he saw his friends, those lost at Clearwater, lost. Sometimes he was watching a movie, or reading a comic, but all the words on the page or subtitles on the screen were replaced with just one word. "

Don reports for the meeting. While he's been occasionally uncomfortable in the role, he's always considered the Titans his friends.

Once a Titan, always a Titan... even if he died years ago.

He comes to the meeting to sit quietly in the corner.

Ray's tenure as a Titan is, in fact, a bit of a jumbled memory. He remembers he was one (and that he was kind of whiny, frankly), and he remembers Joto, Risk, Agent, Prysm, and Fringe, but the details are rather sketchy (he vaguely remembers fighting a cow-headed giant, but that probably never happened).

But he still feels responsible for the kids, and knowing that they were all possibly dead, well...

He needed to make up for that. And helping the other Titans was one way to do it.

A BOOM heralds the arrival of Power Boy. Grinning, the hero from Apokolips steps out of the Boom Tube and looks around the room. He's not really been a Titan for very long at all, having only joined up after the business with the assassins but he likes the team so far and is happy to come when called.

"Hello! I hope I'm not late for this meeting!" he laughs, not recognizing anyone but Superboy.

One of the Robins is here. No one will know what to think of him being alive. And still sixteen. He knows this but it doesn't matter. Once a Titan always a Titan.

He guesses not even death will stop him.

And suddenly he wonders if Power Girl got a cousin. What the hell. Power Boy is still weird to see.

Superboy is also a strange concept. The world is just weird.

Holly dropped in, Don was already there in his usual punctual way, but she meandered in, dropped into a chair and kicked her feet up on the closest available surface.

Rose wasn't even sure she belonged with the rest of them, but some had really gone out of their way to make her feel welcomed and she appreciated it.

The call to arms, as it were, had her joining the others, most of whom she hadn't really spoken to since the incident with her father.

Where else would he be? Bart shows up, ready to stick up for his friends. He also sends Thad a message that he should come along too.

[conner_el]

Conner put his book down on the table as people started coming in. He was starting to get bored of it for now anyway. "Hey Bart, Rose, Holly." He said with a grin. "'Sup?"

[hawk_and_dove]

Dawn joined them a little after the others, her sister smiled and stood up in a rush. They hadn't spoken much since Dawn's need to find some inner peace took her away from the Titans, but seeing her back meant she'd found it. Or found something.

Dawn gave Holly a quick hug and took a seat herself, a smile and silent thanks to Don as well.

Rose waited for him to sit by her, her hand taking his. She felt a bit more reassured with him there, not that the others had treated her badly, just that having Bart there gave her a touchstone. "Glad you made it."

Garth has a seat nearby.

[needs_a_robin]

Tim stands near the back - waiting and watching.

Tula leans against the back of Garth's chair, her arms draped across his shoulders.

[misschocolover]

M'gann feels just a bit lost - her teammates are all gone, she doesn't know anyone at this meeting all that well - so she settles close to Garth and Tula whose wedding was one of the first major parties that she attended after coming to Earth, taking quiet comfort in the warm memories she has of that time.

Her life hadn't seemed so strange and shattered then...

[hi_im_shift]

Shift- no, Seth. He knew had to go back to using the name he had picked, even if he couldn't say his real one. Seth leaned up against the wall by M'gann, noticing she's not feeling well.

He can't take his paranoia pills while on the painkillers. His body is already mostly healed, but the pain persists without these new pills.

So we traded in pink silly pills for white numbing pills.
Seems so.
What's that going to cause?
What, besides that feeling of dread? That there will be more ninjas, that this time they will cut your spine, they will torch M'gann, they will kill Kon? That the next time you won't have Tara or Doc to patch you up?

He knows he's full of worry, but he decides to go up next to M'gann and holds her hand, rubbing his thumb over the back of it, as if to calm her.

Grant sits down and nods to Conner, ready to hear what he has to say.
