[Public Video]

[Cass has set the communicator up so it points at the large frozen lake in the CES and once she's sure it's recording, she grins and takes a few steps back.]

Watch this.

[Turning away, she runs for the lake and jumps onto the ice, sliding across on her feet. Apparently, she's not letting the lack of ice skates get to her. Once she comes to a stop, she turns back to the camera and starts her way back.]

It's fun! Everyone should... come try. Can let in inmates, if you promise... to be good.

(ooc: feel free to comment with spam if your character is a warden! Cass will let any inmate in so long as she can tell they're not there to cause problems.)

Comments

[hellofist]

[Another fast learner, then. That could be fun.]

Doesn't show. Must be natural.

[The "like me" isn't said, but it's easily implied.]

[thirtyfiveminutes]

I had a good teacher. [Namely, that he learnt by watching her.]

[hellofist]

[And she picks that up right away and starts to look a little bit smug because of it.]

Try this.

[With a quick twist of her feet, she's turned around and skating backwards. It's easy, he'll have no problem with it, she just wants to see what it looks like when someone else with their skill does it.]

[thirtyfiveminutes]

[He mimics the movement precisely, and is soon skating backwards with ease.]

[hellofist]

[She's impressed, watching his body. He reminds her of Ravager, his body sings the same way hers had. He knows where every part of him is, how to control it. There's no missteps, nothing out of place.]

Who are you?

[thirtyfiveminutes]

[He skates closer to her.] My name is Adrian. And you?

[hellofist]

Cassandra.

[She's a bit distracted watching his body moving, but she remembers to give him a quick smile.]

Hi.

[thirtyfiveminutes]

[His smile is warm, and kind.] Pleased to meet you, Cassandra.

[hellofist]

You too.

[And she really, really means that. It's not every day she meets someone like her. He can't read her like she can him, she thinks, but whatever he's doing to be that good is similar, maybe? She doesn't know. It doesn't really matter.]

What do you... think of the Barge?

[thirtyfiveminutes]

[He laughs.] Would it be strange if I said I liked it better than home?

[hellofist]

No. I like it better... here, too. Much better.

[thirtyfiveminutes]

What's your world like? [As dark as his?]

[hellofist]

Violent. Lots of crime, bad things.

Some good things. Not enough, though. Doesn't... usually balance out. Worth protecting, though.

[thirtyfiveminutes]

Sounds exactly like mine. [Protecting, she'd said.] Are you in law enforcement?

[hellofist]

Not exactly. Do you have... masked fighters, in your world?

[thirtyfiveminutes]

We do... we did. But only one has super-powers.

[hellofist]

Don't have powers, but... very strong. Good fighter. Called Batgirl, in costume.

[thirtyfiveminutes]

Ozymandias. [He holds out his hand instinctively, and then laughs.] Ah, I'm sorry. Old habit. I'm retired.

[hellofist]

Do that wrong, anyway. [She nods to his hand, then figures she might as well just show him. She reaches out and presses her fist into his hand.] No one... taught me handshake.

[thirtyfiveminutes]

Pleased to meet you, Batgirl. Cassandra.

[hellofist]

[She grins when he says Batgirl first, clearly pleased. No matter what anyone says, that still feels like her skin and sometimes, it's nice to have that recognized and not treated like a bad thing.]

You too, Oz- Ozzy- ... Adrian.

[She tried, okay.]

[thirtyfiveminutes]

[A sad smile. That's not his name anymore. Not publicly, anyway.] I'm from New York City. And you?

[hellofist]

Lived in Bludhaven. It was... big city, but smaller than Gotham. Miss it.

[thirtyfiveminutes]

What happened to it.. if you don't mind my asking?

[hellofist]

It was... destroyed. By an enemy. Slade. His daughter... tried to kill me. But I beat her. Hurt her.

He got mad.

[And she knows that's not the only reason they dropped chemo on her town, but Penguin had been part of it too. He wanted her dead just as much as Deathstroke had, so it was hard not to take it a little personally.]
