[Cass inhabiting the CTS isn't a new Barge occurrence, but it's not typical for her to go in looking upset and come out still... really looking upset. But here she is, sitting on the floor outside the CTS to catch her breath and wait for her legs to start working again because it's been a few hours now of nothing but punching and kicking and pushing herself so she wouldn't feel anything, but it's not really doing the job this time around.

So yeah, she's kind of brooding outside the CTS like any good Bat does after an upsetting day.]


[Private text to Dean]
Out.


[Spam for Merlin]
[She goes back into the CTS after her break, but it's still not enough. In the end she's just on her knees punching the floor until her hands are bleeding and that helps, finally. Only took her hours to get there. Finally she leaves the CTS and makes her way back home to wait for Merlin. He can fix her, her hands and her heart.

It's a bit surprising, though, that she runs into him in the hallway, him approaching the door from the other direction. Even after everything, she's able to smile when she sees him.]

Was just... gonna find you. Hi.

[Oliver shrugs and doesn't really answer the question with words. Silent Hill wasn't as bad as it could have been for him, it was so much worse for Lara obviously, but it made Lian Yu seem tame and that was a hard feat in itself.]

How are you doing?

THE MOST ONTIMELIEST /o/

[hellofist]

[Sometimes, Cass forgets she knows people who came to the Barge after her warning about her father. Maybe that's good for the sake of his graduation, that he gets a chance to befriend people, but it's also dangerous. He's shown already he's capable, willing, going to trick people into thinking he's something he is not at all.]

Not really. My father is here... shouldn't have talked to him.

Spam sob I'm sorry

[hellofist]

[She shakes her head and touches Stephanie's hair, petting carefully.]

Don't want to hurt you.

[Spam]

[hellofist]

[There's a reason she phrased it exactly that way, asked him that question. It's something they have in common, something he'll understand.]

My father is here.

[hellofist]

[She nods, buries her face a little more in Barbara's stomach.]

What did... you do?

Spam

[hellofist]

[She nods, because it is. It almost seems impossible to deal with right now, but she'll pull herself out of it. She always does, it's just going to take longer this time, she thinks.]

He was... pretending to be good. Good father. He's... really not. So I said something.

[SPAM]

[hellofist]

[With Jason gone, she has to talk to someone about this kind of thing.

She's still so curious about this change in Aya, though.]

What happened, back home? What changed you?

[He smiles fondly and wraps an arm around her shoulders.]

Have you told Arthur about this?

Spam

[hellofist]

[She leans into him, her own arm going around his waist.]

No, not yet. Think I should?

[bodilesswarrior]

[Her voice turns soft and sad. It was so long ago, but - ] I just kept trying to get through to him.

[She keeps stroking Cass's hair; it comforts her, too, grounds her.]

He was a good man. Except for when he was drinking. And - it killed him, eventually. [He kept promising to stop, and she'd believed him until he didn't have a chance any more.]

[ Steph offers a lopsided smile. ]

I could call Kon, you'd have a hard time hurting him if he didn't want you to.

Re: Spam

[takeyouapart]

...I don't know. He knows what's going to happen, but...I know he doesn't like to be reminded of it.

Spam

[wedonot]

I don't mind. [He really doesn't, and sits down next to her without further discussion, seemingly perfectly content to sit here on the floor next to her for as long as she needs it.]

Do you mind if I ask what happened?

Spam

[hellofist]

Will just save it, then. Tell if it... comes up naturally.

[She has no idea how that would happen, but it seems better than just springing it on him. With Merlin, it seemed fair he knew what was in store, what he'd have to work with when that time came. Might be a little awkward to have Guinevere suddenly pop back to life with no warning.]

Spam

[hellofist]

I... talked to my dad.

[More like she yelled at him, but hey. Calling it talking works, for now.]

It was dumb.

Spam

[hellofist]

Wouldn't want to... fight him while angry. With TK, he'd... feel it. Wouldn't do that, to him.

[But being with Steph, seeing her smile, it's helping her calm down. She can let go of some of that rage that's causing all these bad thoughts if she just focuses on Stephanie.]

Spam

[wedonot]

[He certainly isn't judging her. He's done his fair share of talking to people he probably should have just left alone in his time, too.]

Being in close quarters with people like that can be difficult.

Re: Spam

[hellofist]

[She nods, because that's so true it's a little painful.]

Have you met him? Talked to him, ever?

Spam

[wedonot]

No. [He hasn't really wanted to, honestly.]

spam;

[hellofist]

[It's hard not to immediately think that maybe she just doesn't fit in anywhere, but that can't be true. She fits in here, she made herself a place in Bludhaven. She's not insulted or hurt by what he's said, just curious.]

Why? Just met me, can't... know that, yet. Can you?

[Spam]

[hellofist]

The port, before the port. Both.

[Really just going to ignore that other thing because yeah it's true, it's very true.]

Gonna go in?

Spam

[takeyouapart]

I think that's for the best.

[He's got his doubts own regarding what conversation could take place between them into which this revelation would fit, but...well, maybe that's for the best as well. He kisses the side of Cassandra's head briefly before getting up to pour their tea.]

[Spam]

[logistical]

[They're both very good at ignoring it, lbr.]

No, I merely wished to determine if it had stopped loading those scenarios.

[A beat, because it's usually polite to introduce yourself instead of ending a conversation on that note.]

I am Spock.

Spam

[hellofist]

[She watches him move toward the kettle, unsure if she's answered wrong, said something he doesn't agree with.]

Should I not tell? Keep it private?

Re: Spam

[takeyouapart]

No - no, I think you're right. You ought to tell him, when there's a time that he needs to hear it. [He smiles over at her.] I trust you more than I'd trust anyone else to know when that'll be.
