hellofist. Eleventh Unused Utility Belt

Um. I'm awake, now.

[Have a wave and half a smile, Barge.]

Didn't mean... to worry anyone. Sorry. I'm okay, though. I know... things have changed. Birthday passed. Was going to be... first one. Never knew it, growing up. Guess weapons... weren't allowed them. Merlin said, can have party. Don't know how, though. Could use tips.

Want to see everyone. Can meet somewhere, or you... come to Merlin's room. Staying here now, moved stuff already. It's... safer, this way. For my heart.

[That doesn't make a lot of sense out of context though, does it? She sighs and her smile fades, dissolves into a look that's somewhere between uncomfortable and just sad.]

There's a man here, David Cain. My father.

[She's truthful almost all of the time anyway, but this is when it becomes clear she's affected by this flood.]

Don't kill him. He's not... worth your time. Deserves a chance. Bad father, bad man, deserves to die, maybe should die, but... deserves his chance, too. Just leave him alone. Don't want people... getting hurt. Love you all too much.

That's... guess that's all.

Private to Bruce Wayne
Don't anymore, okay? Once is enough.

I love you.

Private to David Cain
Promise still stands. You kill anyone, I kill you.

... Hope this place... works, for you.

Spam for Dean and Barbara, separately
[Some people deserve to see her in person without waiting so she goes to them first, knocks and knocks and knocks on their doors until they open up, let her in. Once they do, they'll have an armful of Cass because there's no stopping her once she sees those faces again.]

Cass! You're awake, that's awesome, I was really worried and I wasn't sure how you felt about your dad being here and I wanted to be there for you but then you were unconscious. I'll come find you, stay right there!

Waiting for you, then. Outside Merlin's door. Hurry, okay? Miss you.

I'll just be a minute, I'm leaving the cafeteria right now.

[ And it's true! It takes just about one minute for Steph to get out of the cafeteria and right down the hall to Merlin's room, where she knocks. ]

[It only takes about half a second for Cass to yank the door open and launch herself right into Steph's arms. She squeezes her tightly because she missed her, it's possible to miss people even if you've been asleep.]

Good pacing. Really was a minute.

[ Steph gives her a tight squeeze in return. ]

Cool, I was really only guessing. So if you're staying in Merlin's room does that mean you're having sex with him?

[ Just curious. ]

[Wait.... what?]

Are- what? How...

What?

I was just wondering, because you spend so much time with him and it makes me a little jealous and when I think about you having sex it gives me weird feelings I don't really understand.

Told you, I never... virgin, remember?

[Maybe if she just tries to tackle this conversation one point at a time, she can make more sense of it. Of course, when she starts picking it apart she realizes Steph just told her she thinks about her having sex, possibly with Merlin, and that's kind of odd. Isn't that a weird thing to do? She's pretty sure that's a weird thing to do.]

You have Kon. Shouldn't... be jealous.

Well yeah, but that was then and this is now. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it. [ She shrugs helplessly. When this flood is over she is going to hide in her room and never come out. ] I want to spend time with you, and I think I'm a little sexually attracted to you.

Uh... hasn't changed.

[This has to be one of those things that girls talk about, the whole who they have sex with thing. Except from the very beginning her relationship with Merlin was private, something just for them, so maybe she's already failed in the girl department.]

I know, Steph. It's been true... a long time.

Oh. I'm oddly relieved. [ As though that wasn't obvious from her body language.

She blinks at that. ]

Well I wish you had said something. It's been really weird and confusing for me and after that time we kissed I kind of wanted to have a threesome but I thought I was just being ridiculous.

hellofist

Relieved? [That really makes no sense.

And okay she's back to useless staring and speechlessness again.]

You weren't... really ready, though. To know. Still confused. Wasn't my place to-

Three?

I guess I'm a little possessive of you.

[ She shrugs again. ]

It's pretty much what it sounds like, when three people have sex together. Anyway I haven't asked yet how you're feeling?

hellofist

Little might be... understatement.

Does... Kon know, you felt that way?

[How is she feeling? Cass rubs the back of her head, drops her attention to her feet because those don't talk much.]

Confused, mostly. You?

ichoosefight

I don't know. We never talked about it, but he might have guessed.

[ She pauses for a moment, thinking about it. ]

Tired. I've been talking to a lot of people about a lot of stuff.

[It's really better to just... let that line of conversation go away, Cass thinks.]

Noticed. Jason said things about... his tongue. Was gross.

I think I gave Doyle a pretty detailed overview of my sex life, too. [ She frowns. She'll get really upset about that later, right now she's too busy oversharing. ] And I talked to Bruce about the gang war. It's been a long day.

[Cass shakes her head and reaches to pat Steph's shoulder sympathetically.]

Won't last forever. After, maybe try... hitting them in head? Might cause memory loss.

I tried that on myself once and it didn't work very well. I was still a little drunk though, that might be why. Can I come in?

Posted by

hellofist

[Well that's not a good thing at all.]

In future... don't do that, please.

[And of course she nods, steps back into the room to let Steph in. She doesn't know if she's ever been in Merlin's room, but it should become clear right away that it's much more a home than her makeshift batcave could ever hope to be.

There's stairs leading up into the bedroom, the main room filled with bookshelves and tables, chemistry sets from Merlin's time and here and there, small pieces of Cass. Tucked in with the medical tomes are brighter colored, modern looking books Cass got for Christmas. Tossed haphazardly onto the main table is her cowl, sitting close to a small potted red rose that's lived on Cass' nightstand for months but has been enjoying it's new home much more.

There's a good deal more light in this room. She's settled well here, has always felt most at home where Merlin was.]

Can make tea. Want to sit?

Posted by

ichoosefight

I don't plan to.

[ Steph looks around as she enters, and there's certainly a lot to see. The place screams 'academic'. She takes the nearest seat and turns back to Cass. ]

Sure. I don't really like tea but I'll drink it anyway.

Posted by

hellofist

[Tea is just about the only thing Cass ever drinks so there's always some ready, but when Steph says that she frowns.]

Can get something else. Something you... actually like.
