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.]

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.

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?

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?

[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?

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.

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.

I'd actually really like some soda but I don't want to be rude or a nuisance. [ Oops. ]

Posted by

hellofist

Not rude. Don't have any, though. Can go get some.

ichoosefight

That's okay, I don't need anything to drink. I just want to spend time with you because I'm really happy you're awake.

Posted by

hellofist

Me too. Happy I'm... awake, want to see you.

[Even if there's some really weird stuff getting aired here, it's nothing really new. Not to Cass, anyway. She sits beside Steph and smiles at her.]

Talk. I'll listen. Will be like... old times.

Posted by

ichoosefight

Sure. I never really know what to talk about but it doesn't usually take long and today I'll probably just start rambling about something I didn't even want to share, like I did with Bruce.

[ And lo and behold. ]

Oh, that's something to talk about, he hugged me. Like, five times. It was kind of weird actually, in a nice way. I don't want to admit I liked it because I got in so much trouble trying to get Batman's approval and I know I don't need it but I still kinda want it sometimes even if I don't want to want it.

What did... he say?

Posted by

ichoosefight

He said a lot of things. [ She looks down at her lap. It was a very strange conversation, and she's still sort of processing. ] He said that he cares about me and he trusts me and he wants to help me if he can. And then he said that he's selfish which seemed kind of silly after he said everything else.

hellofist

He'll graduate, soon. Can see it, he's changed.

Think he'll stay? Become... Warden, to someone?

[The hope there? It's pretty obvious and maybe just slightly desperate. She doesn't like the idea of Bruce leaving.]

Posted by

ichoosefight

I don't know, but I hope so. He deserves to get out of this place but I don't like the idea of what he has to go home to. I think he should just bail and find some other world. [ Let it never be said that Steph never cuts and runs. ]
