Cast of Characters: Caitlin Fairchild, Kara Danvers, Kyani Kohanna, Gwen Stacy, Kate Bishop




Caitlin Fairchild has posed:
Over the recent weeks, the older members of the Titans have been going to lengths to help make the younger ones feel welcome. Getting them settled in rooms, setting them up with access passes. For Caitlin, it's a return to old routines as she sets up cooking in the kitchen again. It's not something she does every night, but at least once a week there's a sit-down meal, and often as not she's got something baking as well.

"Okay, find the flour. Can you find the flour?" Caitlin coos at a drone perched on the countertop. The small unit's grey hull isn't very large, perhaps the size of a small housecat. It buzzes fitfully, looking up at her with antennae-mounted lenses, and then scans around. Then it leaps into the air with a humming noise, does a fast circle around the kitchen, and lands on the large baker's container labelled 'flour'.

"Good girl! Have a treat!" Caitlin says, and puts a little sugar cube down on the counter. The drone launches at it like a puppy chasing a ball, skids across the granite, and starts crushing the cube up with claws and what looks like tiny proto-mandibles. Caitlin grins at the little device and wipes her hands on her apron, worn over a well-worn, official-issue 'Justice League' t-shirt in navy blue. More bowls are set up and she starts cracking eggs efficiently into the large mixing stand.

Kara Danvers has posed:
They said come by any time, right?

Supergirl was still puzzling out the exact nature of her relationship to the Titans. She had to accrue votes, she knew, and a sufficient number of votes would determine if she was a member or not. She knew that much, but she didn't know if that meant she shouldn't come around the Tower otherwise.

Ultimately, she'd just sort of shrugged and decided to go there anyway.

In costume (because she has no other choice without giving herself away), Kara cranes her head as she steps into the room. She watches the little drone thing bounce around, eyes widening and features lightening into a broad beaming smile.

"Oh! This is very cute!"

Kyani Kohanna has posed:
    Kyani has made his way back to the Titans Tower, this would be his second time out there, but he was invited, maybe that would include even now? He doesn't know, but still Kyani walks up to the front door and goes inside, he rubs the back of his head a little bit and as he does he begins exploring around a little bit. "Hello...?" he asks and as he comes into the common room he sees Caitlin and Supergirl? This is all new to him, granted, he's worked with Caitlin already but not Supergirl. "How's it going?" he asks.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
One of those newbies is Gwendolyne Stacy, aka Ghost Spider. Fresh with a place to live now that she sure aint living at (Redacted) anymore, comes trotting down the stairs with headphones over her head. Big cat-ear headphones. Connected to her phone. Playing -music-. Blonde, pink tipped hair tied back in a ponytail, she leaps over the railing and drops into a crouch at the bottom, headed for the commons area to grab a sammish. A sammish with cheese and protein substitute because she's on a sammish diet.

Shaking her butt as she comes through the door, rocking her hands up above her head, "METRONOME! Man, I'm up to something... ooh-dee-la-dee-doh, thank you all for comin', I hope you like the show.. 'Cause it's on a budget.."

Supergirl, who she has definitely never met. Retcons are fun, all the retcons.

"..." Headphones out. "Have we met?"

Meta.

"Sup!" Up nodding to everybody!

Caitlin Fairchild has posed:
"Did you guys all take the same train getting here?" Caitlin grins at the new arrivals, still working the dough over. "You've all got good timing though, the first batch of cookies are comin' out of the oven."

She moves the batter into another bowl and turns to open the oven up. Without gloves, she reaches in and removes the cookies to be set out on the counter. "They're hot," she advises people. "Better to let them cool."

Caitlin catches Kara's compliment and smiles gratefully. "My new AI," she says, unable to hide the pride from her voice. "We're working on object identification lately. I'm testing a theory about language development that a friend of mine came up with, seeing if she adopts a language organically just being around it enough."

Kara Danvers has posed:
"He reminds me of Bish," Kara says with a smile, leaning in close to examine the drone thoughtfully - the word definitely isn't English, a name, maybe? A language that seems very much at home with her heavy accent, at any rate, "We built him when I was small. He was very helpful, but he liked very shiny things perhaps too much, yes?"

She glances up when Gwen poses her question, lifting a hand to offer a friendly wave and beaming smile in her direction. Spotting Kyani also, she broadens the greeting a bit to encompass him as well.

"Hello! Come and look at this!" There's no awkwardness from her. She's apparently operating on a 'if I see someone and they aren't trying to fight me, they are my friend' policy.

"I am Supergirl, by the way."

If the big S didn't make that clear.

Kyani Kohanna has posed:
    "Training?" Kyani asks, "I didn't know there was training, I was just coming by to see who I could talk to about joining, but if you're offering training I would like that." he grins. He looks over at Gwen when she comes in dancing to her music. He chuckles, "Hello Supergirl, it's an honor to meet you, and you again Caitlin." he smiles as he looks at her.

    He sees Gwen and he doesn' tknow her, but after Supergirl introduces herself, "My name is Kyani, no cool name or anything." he says. "Which I heard could get me in trouble." he tells them. He does walk over to see the drone.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
"Oh! Cookies!" Gwen brightens immediately at the notion of freshly delivered baked goods, heading right for the pan while tucking her phone back into her pocket with the cords of her earphones running down over her shoulders. There's also a potentially self aware AI drone learning languages organically, but honestly there has to be a priority setting and for Gwen Stacy that priority is calories.

She burns through a lot of those just by existing.

Like burning through her nerve endings when she reaches for one of the still hot cookies! "OWIE!" Heading no advice, she grabs one and immediately tosses it from hand to hand trying to cool it. "Oh god, it's... oh jesus, why don't I put it down.. it's.. oooowie..."

The obvious solution is to eat it //immediately//. Which is the wrong decision because now her /mouth/ is also on fire. The kind of seering pain that basically ruins the flavor profile of anything, no matter how delicious it would otherwise be.

"I'm Ghost Spider." Is what she tries to say.

Her tongue's burnt though.... so what she says:

"Iow pffhg mahgdah.." Hand fanning her open mouth.

Caitlin Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin winces at Gwen's language as she reacts to the over-hot cookies. "Please don't curse in my kitchen," she requests as politely as possible. But she's reaching for a glass at the same time, and pours Gwen a pint of well-chilled milk. "Swish this around, it'll help. I /did/ say they were hot," she adds, wryly.

"Ghost Spider, this is Supergirl, and Kyani. And don't worry about the alias," she suggests. "I meant to come up with one like, eight years ago, and never got around to it."

She offers Kara one of the sugar cubes and gestures. "Play with her a little. We're working on object identification and reading skills." There are a number of neatly labelled items on the counter. One might think they're a training tool-- but in reality Caitlin's just the kind of person who obsessively organizes her life around labelling systems.

"Kyani, I din't think we've had a chance to talk much," she tells the fellow. "How did you get involved with us here at the Tower?"

Kara Danvers has posed:
When the sugar cube is offered, Kara takes it in one hand and holds it delicately like one might hold an egg. The other hand swoops to grab a cookie and toss it in her mouth, entirely disregarding the uncomfortable temperature they're still at. She bites off almost half of it with one go, holding the remnants in her free hand as she looks towards the drone.

"Do you have a name?" she asks, before she turns to Caitlin as though seeking out the answer from her.

The word 'ghost' seems to draw a flinch out of Supergirl, and her brow furrows. But she quickly lets it pass, nodding her head: "It is very good to meet you, Ghost Spider. I like your ears." She points at the headphones with her cookie-hand.

The mention of aliases from Kyani prompts a very serious expression on the young Kryptonian's face: "It is important. People you care about could get in trouble without it." A pause. "Though I suppose I have cheated a little bit in coming up with my own ... "

Kate Bishop has posed:
Kate groans to herself as she stirs in her room, she was thinking maybe of an early night after that hot shower. But damond if she doesn't smell some sort of cookies baking out in the common room. That probably means Caitlin, mostly because BB would just be eating all of the cookie dough raw or something like some sort of Goblin.

What he is green.

She groans again and then rolls off the bed she was sprawled, struggles against the world pulling on a pair of Fendi stripe yoga pants and then digs up a FP Movement Free Spirit Hoodie. No haters.

Mission accomplished she heads down to the common room barefoot then pauses at the entrance to the kitchen there and she cocks her head looking the three between her and fresh cookies over. "Hey Cait. Ghost." two she knows. I mean hell one she recognized but doesn't know. She just stares for a moment at the strangers mostly because she is in casual around the tower not suited up wear, which means there is a non-zero chance she might be recognized.

I mean the enormous black right eye she has right now and split lip might help detract from any such pattern recognition though. It also explains the groaning superhearing may have heard before Kate hobbled her ass out here for cookies.

Kyani Kohanna has posed:
    Kyani gets a cookie and takes care due to it being hot, he listens to everyone about the alias, "I just haven't really thought about it, but than again, I've not really started doing this hero thing until recently." he says to them. "I have parents, but they gave me up, my mom came back only to tyr to use me for my abilities, so yea. I don't have many people who I care about at the moment." he gives a bit of a shrug.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
"Soweh.." Gwen apologies while accepting the chilled milk in both hands. Not specifically guzzling, but definitely drinking liberally of the pastorized deliciousness that goes smashingly capital with freshly baked cookies. Now that her tongue is't on fire, only blistered and numb, she's able to mostly talk again!

Instead of talking to herself, which is weird.

Like JD in Scrubs, which could totally work with a Spider-Person a comedy gimmick..

"Tsk.. I'd have to plan that material ahead of time..." Shaking her head into looking up at Kara. Touching the ears atop her own noggin, "Oh, right yeah.. Amazon. I figure if I'm going to wear them and be distinterested in socially engaging with people in public, I should look stylish while doing so. I like to imagine that deep down in the New York cynicism is rooted in a keen sense of loner fashion.."

Before taking another cookie, she pats her fingers against it, testing the temperature.. "Like my costume.. and identity. Carefully constructed isolationism.. For like four years I've been hiding behind that mask. At some point you have to trust someone, right? Like pokemon.. or... I don't know a radio station... This analogy is /not/ testing well."

Caitlin Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin slides another cookie towards Ghost Spider when she apologizes, just to show all's well. Or is it a little operant conditioning? Either way, she's smiling when she does it.

"Sheesh, Ka-- Hawkeye," Caitlin says. "You look like you had a rough night." The freezer opens and closes and she digs an icepack out of the drawer. It's walked over to Kate and Caitlin moves to put it in Kate's hand, so she can apply pressure to her eye. While that's being done, she turns to look over her shoulder at Kara. "I haven't come up with a name yet," Caitlin says sheepishly. "All of Mr. Stark's AIs have acronyms for names, like HOMER or JARVIS. All my ideas are dumb."

Kyani gets a sympathetic look, but then a reassuring smile a second later. "See, like I said, names are hard."

Kara Danvers has posed:
"Naming is very difficult," Supergirl says, turning the sugar cube around in her fingers a little more, "If it were not, we would probably be allowed to name ourselves."

She casts an eye around the kitchen before setting them on the cookies and turning back to the drone. She affects the sort of voice one may adopt when speaking to pets or children - a higher pitch, and sweeter: "Can you find the cookies?"

The blonde looks away from the drone as Kate arrives, raising her cookie hand to wave it at her in greeting: "Hello, I am Supergirl."

Kate Bishop has posed:
Well either those cookies are so damn good that no one noticed her coming in, or Raven cursed her for playing her music too loud.

When Cait greets her in return it confirms she isn't cursed or banished to a spectral realm though by Raven so it is a relief. Sort of. Also means those cookies must be damn good. The risks of living here and all.

"Hi Supergirl." Kate pops her neck, she is stiff as hell, then ventures forth to get one of the mythic cookies. "It isn't that fr..." still she takes the icepack, which is not a delicious cookie at all. She sighs and just presses it to her eye. Like she was doing with another one in her room earlier. "Ran into a villain robbing a bank in Metro... was using windup monkeys.. you know the one with the cymbals... and he sucker punched me with a jack in the box. I thought villains like that were all banished to Gotham... stupid thing actually had a jack in it not a boxing glove .. but well it was wearing boxing gloves and boxed... " she ugns. "They were all little robots... he got away but I recovered the bank cash thwarting the asshole...."

She peers with one good eye now at the cookies "Can I please have some cookies." still holding the icepack to her eye. Then in general she notes "Also I just claimed someone elses name like a Savage... worked out well enough so far."

Gwen Stacy has posed:
"I'm all about branding." Gwen offers with a happy little noise when offered a new cookie, which she's enjoying a great deal more with it not actively trying to kill her taste buds! "There's like nine different spider themed heroes running around, so I had to set myself apart with some catchy naming and flashy costume."

One hand milk, one hand cookie, she dunks cookie in milk as if this is the holy grail. The very foundation of delight dashes across her face. Eyes wide with excitement! Until half the cookie, now soggy, breaks off and sinks to the bottom like a freshly baked Titanic... "James Cameron, you villain.."

Dejected by fate, she hangs her blonde head, but does wiggle the fingers on her glass at Kate. "Shining Monkey, monkey bots? That's not creepy.."

Kyani Kohanna has posed:
    Kyani listens to everyone as they speak, tracking each comment being made. He shakes his head at Supergirl and Caitlin, "Nah it's not hard, I've just not felt that I needed to make one really. Again I just started doing all of this, I'm currently a messenger in New York. That's what I've been using my abilities as. It wasn't until I met Thor and Fire and seeing that I should use my abilities to help people." he looks to all four women and he stretches where he is sitting. He reaches for another cookie and eats it.

    "I think I will take Nitro." he says to them. "I don't think anyone is using that name at all and it fits." eh grins a little bit. He winces as Kate speaks about her villian she fought, "I feel your pain, I remember running into a parked car going 350mph. It knocked me out for about thirty seconds."

Caitlin Fairchild has posed:
The drone eyes the sugar, then rises in the air with a buzz and starts panning left and right. It lands on the countertop with a janky, heavy impact to its six legs, and aims a spotting laser at the cookies. Then it looks up at Kara, back at the cookies, then the laser settles on the sugar cube.

"Nitro, I like it," Caitlin tells Kyani with a smile. "And no, I don't think anyone is using it. Better hurry and get your Instagram set up first though; I'm real glad I did, early on. You can post your better pictures and the unflattering ones will end up buried at the bottom of the search algorithims. You should, also, GS," she suggests to the blonde. "I'm pretty sure the Avengers are making a fortune with their branding rights."

Caitlin shuffles six cookies like a deck of cards and places them on a plate. They're just cool enough that the chocolate isn't gooey, and they're offered to Kate along with a glass of milk. "You didn't really steal Hawkeye's name, you're just... Young Hawkeye. Girl Hawkeye. Hawkgirl?" Caitlin makes a face and shakes that idea away. "Wait, that one's taken, too."

Kara Danvers has posed:
Supergirl, for her part, seems to have lost track of the conversation completely due to Caitlin's drone. She practically coos over it as it searches about, holding out the sugar cube for it to eat and even reaching out to try and pet it as she does so.

"Ahvrigahzh rov gehd? Rivahzh raop! Kehlehkh zrhueiao."

She's lapsed out of English for the moment, and though the language she speaks is indecipherable, the tone has the unmistakable sweetness of happily praising a pet for performing a trick well. Kate's mention of the robot monkeys draws her attention, however, and she looks up with brow furrowed.

"Was this the Toyman? My cousin has dealt with him. I find his little dolls to be ... " she trails off, clicking her fingers thoughtfully, " ... creeping?" A vaguely pleading look is cast around, coupled with a sheepish look.

Kyani's suggestion of a name prompts her to repeat the word 'nitro' under her breath curiously, before nodding to Caitlin.

"Doctor Fairchild is right about Instagram. Someone is already Supergirl on there. They make sweaters for cats."

Kate Bishop has posed:
"Honestly even if there is another Nitro out there.. just take the name and kick the person who had it's ass .. or prove you are better. Make the press love you and forget about the old Nitro." she sounds totally innocent and not at all like she is doing that to Old Man Hawkeye.

Adjust halo.

"Old Man Hawkeye got me my blue checkmark and said I get to use Hawkeye publicly. I am officially Hawkeye. No young Hawkeye. No Hawkette. Not Hawkingbird. Just Hawkeye."

she stares down Caitlin good natured now though. "Though I am pretty sure the Iron Capitalist will somehow figure out how one of the Avengers branding deals also includes me though and take the money."

She does ditch the icepack for a cookie and glass of milk now though. Man that jack in the box sucker punched her really good. Also doesn't she usually wear expensive sunglasses... those must be jacked up too.

She returns Gwen's fingerwave. "I love your name." she notes as if it is now law that it is a good name.

She looks at Supergirl for a long moment when she doesn't speak english then addresses her. "Yeah... probably I mean what are the odds there are two villains in metropolis obssessed with really creepy toys... and yes the monkeys were ..creepy... annoying.. and suprisingly effective. It was a trifecta of horrible."

Kyani Kohanna has posed:
    "What's GS?" he asks. "I don't have an Instagram, besides, I don't want people knowing everything about me right?" he asks curiously. "Creepy is what your looking for Supergirl." he smiles to her. Helping her out of the wording situation. He than finds a place to sit down and he sits, he looks over at the drone as Supergirl seems to be very happy with it. "I still have a ways to go, I don't know what all I'm capable of yet." He looks to Kate and chuckles a little bit as she speaks about kickign the ass of the person who may already have the name, though a look to Caitlin and her words tell him he may not have to do that.

    "Well I think both Supergirls are cool, one who saves people and one who makes sweaters for cats." he laughs.

Gwen Stacy has posed:
"There wasn't an instagram on my world." Gwen says after another gulp of milk, clutching it to her chest after swallowing, "We just chissled things into the side of buildings with smooth rocks with sharp edges.. Tagging was surprisingly destructive."

One hand snaps out to pantomime adjusting Kate's halo above the young heroines head.

"Cat sweaters? I can see why she'd go by Supergirl.. Cats have been surviving cold weather for a couple million years, I'm generally unsure how they got along without being clad in green sweaters with little brown raindeer for holliday.."

"Or maybe snowflakes." Another gulp of milk.

Nevermind that Supergirl just went full on Comic Con language.

"Ujudhueiusmm'ukssdh's pretty lhao. Ikjrhes ujudhueiusmm'ukssdh kll'inghann?"

Just so we know what it is? "Jolan tru."

Caitlin Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin snorts at Gwen, stifling a giggle. "Oh you did not," she scolds the blonde spiderling-- but she's tittering all the same.

But then she's listening attentively to the conversation between Gwen and Supergirl, and her brows rise minutely. "Uh... that was Klingon," Caitlin says, pointing at Gwen, and the finger wiggles towards Kara. "But that wasn't-- was that Kryptonian?" She looks impressed. "Golly, I've... never heard it said aloud before," she admits. "At least, I mean-- it stands to reason Superman would speak Klingon, but he never did. That's cool," she admires. "Hey! Maybe you can teach me how the language?" she suggests to Kara. The drone idles under Kara's fingertips, not responding to the touch. Caitlin offers more sugarcubes to the Kryptonian, which instantly piques the drone's interest.

"And if we can't call her Hawklass--" she grins an aside towards Kate-- "then you can't call me doctor. At least not in the Tower. It's just a professional title. Call me Caitlin," she suggests.

Kara Danvers has posed:
"Creepy!" Supergirl exclaims, clapping her hands together loudly enough to make ears ring and then nodding enthusiastically at Kate, "Thank you, and yes - he is very creepy." She throws some spice on the last word with a little triumphant smile.

"Ehworodh khap Kryptahniuo," she says in response to Gwen, eyebrows furrowing a little in puzzlement. When Caitlin explains, her eyes drift towards the redhead before realisation dawns a little and she turns her gaze back on the Ghost Spider. At which point she winks and sticks out her tongue before laughing.

"I do not know if he speaks Klingon," she says in answer to Caitlin, "But yes, I was speaking Kryptonian. I am still learning to speak Earth languages properly." She takes the offered sugar cubes and immediately begins to try and feed them to the drone.

"I can teach you if you would like. You would only really have me to talk to, though. Or Ka - Superman." There's a pang of sadness in those last few words.

Kate Bishop has posed:
Kate carefully nibbles on a cookie and then sips milk "Mmmmm.. you need to bake every day Caitlin..." she pauses "probably not everyday though... I mean... maybe everyday..." she waffles then takes another bite of cookie and nearly snorts it at the Hawklass comment. "Well.. that goes on the ever growing list of people giving me nicknames."

"So anyways.. I know what Ghost does. I know what Caitlin does. I know by reputation what Supergirl does." she pauses "If it wasn't obvious.. I shoot arrows and kick ass." pause.

"What do you do Nitro?"

"Also how popular is Star Trek on your world Ghost?"

Kyani Kohanna has posed:
    Kyani's ears perk up at the language Kara is speaking and he looks to Gwen who speaks Klingon, he's heard Klingon before, but he doesn't really watch a lot of tv. "I guess my sci-fi knowledge only holds up with Star Wars." and he speaks in Huttese to everyone. Though he doesn't know if anyone knows it. If they don't it's all good, at least he knows they all here are nerds in some fashion.

    Kyani nods to Supergirl as she thanks them for helping her, he turns his head to look at Kate when she asks him what he does. And instead of telling her, he shows them all and is gone with a "WHOOOOOOSH!" and is back with a couple of pizzas from Joe's Pizzaria. All the pizzas are piping hot, meat lovers, cheese only on one and pepperoni only on one. "I heard mention from someone about the Speed Force or something, I guess thats how I run, I don't know."

Gwen Stacy has posed:
Gwen points at Caitlin, "No, that was Romulan..." The pointing finger lifts, moves, and points at Kara... "That was... something else, but it was magical and I want to turn it into a band name. All of it... that entire sentence, it needs to be the name of a band. It just rolls off the tip of the tongue."

It doesn't.

"Ahvreguhzk gweed, rivuhk raptor. Klem zergling." Nailed it.

Winky face from Supergirl?

Be still my spider heart...

Slow chewing a cookie, she murmurs...

"Raed'aeusnnta'jhiy iebhe rhae lliu htaodt'ia'rhoinnie iebhe uaefvalhuneitrde'h'n lliu..."

WINKY FACE.

With a glance at Kate, "Popular enough that I learned Romulan... As it turns out, not a lot of ladies are beating down the door to get with a gal who six fluent languages, none of which are human and all of which are largely made up by basement dwellers and/or Tolkien."

"Which I /stand by/ being an acceptable addition to your tender page... but I'm terrible at /all of that/."

Both hands out in Kyani's direction, "He gets it... speaking Huttese. The language of the basement dwelling, mouth breather."

Caitlin Fairchild has posed:
"Star Wars for life," Caitlin agrees-- but then Kyani's jetting off in a whirl of wind, leaving the woman blinking in surprise at his speed. "Speedsters," she mutters, and looks back to the others.

"Kate, I can't bake /every/ day," Caitlin tells the archer. "I do have a job. And a life. ...well, a job, anyway," she amends, lamely. "I really don't get out much unless it's mandatory corporate fun anymore."

Kyani's blasting back with the pizzas and Caitlin whistles at his speed. "I think Dr. Richards did a dissertation on the Speed Force," she tells Kyani. "I'll have to see what literature is out there. That kind of speed is just crazy to me." She shakes her head, enviously.

At Gwen's commentary about Star Wars nerds, Caitlin thbbts at Gwen and points imperiously from her drone to Gwen. "Go bite her!" she orders it.

The drone briefely looks up at Caitlin, over at Gwen, back at Catilin, then starts wrestling a sugar cube for no reason. Caitlin sighs.

"Waaaay too treat-focused," she mutters.

Kara Danvers has posed:
"You almost have it, I think," Supergirl offers Gwen, even though she doesn't really, "'Ah-vreeg-azh - like shh but make a sound with your throat. The rest ... maybe we will work on it?"

Kara blinks owlishly as Kyani zips out of the room, super-senses allowing her to follow him with her gaze before he's out of the room and again once he returns. She tilts her head to look at the pizzas, still hungry despite just wolfing down a cookie.

"I think you are faster than me, Nitro," she says with a smile, "I hope you paid for the pizzas, though." She definitely didn't make that mistake when she was first learning to use her powers, and that sheepish look on her face is entirely unrelated.

As the drone begins to wrestle inexplicably with the sugar cube, Kara leans in and beams at it again like a cute little puppy while wiggling the tip of her finger in its face.

Kate Bishop has posed:
Kate blinks. "Oh." she notes as he wooshes off. "Another speedster.. well that will double our food bill again I bet...." pause "Wonder where he went..." because well it does take a moment or two to buy pizzas even already made ones after all. She glances around waiting for a moment. Then the followup woosh and pizza. "Okay I can deal with late night cookies and pizza.. and milk... that works for me."

She looks to Gwen and grins. "Well I don't speak any fictional languages, but I do think your geek cred is rock solid and nothing to be embarassed about. Geeks are hot these days or something." sage nod to Gwen. "Also the hair."

Then eyes the drone to see what it does, and it does nothing. "It is sort of like a really dumb puppy... which is cute."

Gwen Stacy has posed:
Gwen brings her hands up in a poor mockery of karate chops towards the drone who never quite comes over to bite her. If she doesn't look particularly surprised or spooked by Kyani's sudden disappearance amidst a flash of energy, it's because her Ghost Senses didn't light up her synaptic with warnings of impending danger.

Which may or may not even be possible with speedsters?

Can they move faster than her spider senses?

It's definitely a question that must be answered eventually.

When he returns with pizza, however, she lights up with grins. "If there's a hawaiin pizza in there..." Spook eyes at Kara correcting her absolute butchering of her language with a squint, "Is that like real work on it or work on it like you tell someone before ghosting? Because the last thing (redacted) said to me was we were going to work on learning to talk backwards-" meta context "-... now I don't even know if they remember me."

Compliments! AND NO DRONE BITING!

Gwen beams at Kate and Caitlin. "I should go back to college." Random.

Caitlin Fairchild has posed:
"Dumb bird," Caitlin corrects Kate, with a sort of precise meticulousness. "Corvus Corax, the raven. One of the smartest of all birds. We scanned the neural maps from a few different animal brains while we were creating the neural matrices." She purses her lips and whistles, and the drone takes flight over to Caitlin and she catches it deftly between her hands. It's flipped over and she starts tickling at the six legs, continuing the wrestle play.

"I'm still figuring it out. Right now I'm working on movement and automation. The dog brains were for pattern recognition. Eventually, a fully custom neural map will be created, synthesizing all the cognitive and movement functions, and we'll pair it up with human brain patterns. That'll give it enough, uh... I guess you could call it RAM," she suggests, "to make intuitive choices."

She uplifts her chin at Gwen. "What would you go back to school for?"

Kyani Kohanna has posed:
    "Yeah I always pay, but when I first started, the temptation of taking what I wanted was there. But I knew that's not the type of person I wanted to be." he states. "Sorry Ghost, no Hawaiian, but now that I know what you like, I got you next time." he says to her. He begins eating a few slices of the meat lovers, "So what did I miss?" he asks. As for testing against ones spider-sense, that could be fun. He looks to Supergirl hoping that she takes his answer. "I called Joes before I came here, he's always hooked me up so I just go there for some Za." he chuckles.

Kara Danvers has posed:
Kara smiles broadly at Kyani, wagging a finger at him: "I am glad to hear it. I would not want to have to take my new Titan friends to jail for eating stolen pizzas."

"If you want to actually work on it," Kara answers, wrinkling her nose a little at Gwen's question, "You will probably have a hard time finding people to talk to - and there is no book to help teach you. But, as I told Doc - Caitlin - I am happy to try if you wish to learn. Maybe you can tell me about the place you are from that does not have Instagram? I am going to college later this year - maybe we will go to the same one?"

Satisfied that the pizza is not stolen, she opens one of the boxes and retrieves a slice which she folds up and eats from the side in a way that possibly no person has ever eaten pizza before in their life.

Kate Bishop has posed:
"Were you in college in your world?" pondering that. "And if so what was your major?" Kate meanders over to investigate those pizzas. "Cheese. Pepperoni. No Hawaiin .. alas... you shall starve now." she fetches a slice of pepperoni for her, swapping to pizza for the moment and saving any other cookies for desert.

Unless Beastboy bloodhounds in here ... at which point it will be a free for all.

"I'm thinking about majoring in marketing actually.. business degree something like that. Help around here not just with arrows." payses "maybe."

Gwen Stacy has posed:
"You know Crows mourn their dead? They bring bauble, shiny rocks and other nicknacks to their dead holding little funerals.. They also keep track of almost every detail in a neighborhood." Gwen brightens instantly at the subject, "Like which children throw rocks and which drop food.. they remember you if you feed them and will reward you.. Legit, they're absolutely a premiere social species with distinct calls for /individual/ dogs, people, or threats. Singular threats.."

She's absolutely beside herself with excitement.

Which is surely explained by answering Kate, "Micro Biology and genetics. I actually had an internship at OsCorps genetics lab back home..." Beaming, "And also a minor in anthropology." Which explains why she knows so much about freaking birds.

And languages.

Looking to Kara, "Uhhh learning an actual alien language? That literally me and like five or six people /on earth/ know?" Slowly raising her hand, "Sign me up, Captain." Grinning wider, "I'm going to finish my degree to Empire State University."

Caitlin Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin brightens at Gwen's explanation. "Biology? Really? I did my thesis defense on-- well, Kryptonian genetics, actually," she says, nodding and shrugging a shoulder in Kara's direction. "And my other PhD is in cellular biology-- neurology mostly," she clarifies, and hefts the drone. "Hence, this little girl." She coos and tickles its legs again.

Her smartwatch beeps at her and Caitlin glances at the inside of her wrist with a frown. "Oh, darnit, I have to get going," she says. "I'm due to meet Donna at the Embassy." The redhead starts packing the drone up into a travel case, where it nests in and seems to fall asleep. "You guys enjoy the cookies, though, and make sure to save some for the others?" she asks, wiggling a finger over the cookies and looking to Kate.

Kyani Kohanna has posed:
    Hearing all of the college talk, Kyani kinda tunes out but then asks, "Why do you all want to go to college?" he asks as he looks to Gwen and Kate. He's sitting close to teh group so to keep intuned to the converation that is being held near him. Though when Cait gets up to leave, "Hey Cait, can we meet up another time and talk about how I can join and get some training?" he asks her.

Kara Danvers has posed:
"Azhuhmu rrip w kryptahniuo!" Supergirl says with a pleasant nod, giving Gwen an encouraging grin, "I would be happy to teach you, and Caitlin also. Likewise any of you who would like to learn."

Hey, she's got something to offer that isn't punching things incredibly hard or melting them with heat vision. That's an exciting prospect in and of itself.

"I should leave also," she agrees after a moment, lifting her hand in a wave to the gathered group, "It was very nice to meet all of you. I hope you will invite me back one day soon!"

Then she begins to stride to the elevator, standing before it with her hands on her hips and staring at the door. After a painful few seconds she lets out an 'oh!' and reaches out to vigorously tap the button before stepping inside. Turning back around, she waves again to the group.

Kate Bishop has posed:
"Man... I am pretty sure the only PhD I could get would be in archery and I am pretty darn certain that no school out there gives degrees like that. Well maybe Lex University." she sounds thoughtful. Then sshakes her head "See you Caitlin, thanks for the baking." and then to Supergirl. "I'm pretty sure you are welcome to stop by when you want to Supergirl."

Evidently Kate feels comfortable enough to extend that invite. She shoots a jaunty wave to Supergirl.

Glancing back to Gwen she asks "How you settling in, you got everything you need for your room?"

Gwen Stacy has posed:
Gwen brightens yet again hearing Caitlin's specialities, "Really? Well heck.. I'd love to pick your brain sometime.. or ... I don't know, something. I never get to do smart shit anymore. It's all punching bad guys and backflips! Which I am supremely good at, granted-" And modest, "-But I want someone to love me for my brain, is that too much to ask?!" Also dramatic.

"Because I want someone to love me for my brain." She repeats as an answer to Kyani.


"And I just /love/ spending hundreds of thousands of dollars I'll never make back to learn what other people think about things that are impossible to know for sure... unless you're a super hero or a robot... or a super hero robot.."

Unto Supergirl, "It was great seeing you again.. last time was just that much weird." Holding her fingers meer centimeters apart. Grinning at the blonde haired kryptonian, flickering a glance over to Kate, "Oh, yeah.. I don't have a lot of stuff anyways, so it was pretty easy getting settled in. Television, PS4, Xbone... Switch. Basically the four food groups."

Kyani Kohanna has posed:
    Kyani watches as Cait leaves followed by Supergirl. "See ya." he says to them. He looks over to Kate and Gwen, he quirks a brow up at Gwen, "I'm sure most would love you for all of you." he states as he eats a few more slices of pizza. He gets up from where he is sitting, he stretches out a little bit. "I would say those are the four basic food groups." This isn't the first time he's heard people talk about college and honestly it was starting to get to him, "I mean, what is it about learning a lot of things that most of it you will not use in your day to day lives?" he asks.

Kate Bishop has posed:
One more cookie is not taken and she pulls out her phone and takes a photo of the fresh baked cookies, Instagrams them hashtagging them Titans, Baking and tags in Caitlin.

"Well at any point your powers could be taken away or an injury could prevent you from being a SuperHero... it would be good to have some sort of backup career." she muses.

"Beyond that I imagine they do it because they love the things they are doing or learning... find it stimulating." she grins and winks at Gwen then looks to Kyani. "What do you like doing besides going as fast as the Flash?"

"On that note though.. Ghost we should practice together.. heros and videogames. I know I can kick your ass at one of those." teasing.
