- Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen has been busy with school and stuff, so he ended up picking tonight to take over the kitchen at the tower and make stuff. Bart works nights at the Zoo, so being up late is normal for him, that and sleeping is like an hour a day for him. So tonight he is here and has brought about a dozen different coolers, bags and boxes with him. Now he is putting on his apron to start cooking.

College courses, working at O'Connail Construction, and continuing to train in the Danger Room so as not to punch people into outer space was how Crush spent her days. At night, she often returns to the Tower with a few bags of munchies, the sort of food that wasn't healthy and most wouldn't think to get; candy bars, chips, donuts, that sort of thing.
With the bags in hand she heads out of the elevator toward the kitchen and stops dead in her tracks. She still wasn't quite used to living with other people, so seeing Bart there took her by surprise. "Whoa, hey there... how you doing," she finally manages to ask, making an attempt at socializing.
- Rachel Roth has posed:
Raven has fewer things taking her attention- but that does not mean she is not a busy woman. The day to day affairs of the Titans rarely do not require her attention- and Donna is ever dutiful to make sure that she is present to assist.
When Bart zips in, however, this is... Something new. Raven looks upon the assembled cooking supplies, and raises a brow. In silence, she pours herself a cup of the coffee she had prepared. Only when it is finished pouring does she draw attention to herself.
"You're kidding." she begins, looking at the coolers, bags, and boxes. "We /have/ groceries here, you know."
- Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen looks over, and says "Oh, I know, but this is stuff, I get specially for this." He pulls out some veggies starting to clean them and says "I am making food for our friends' pets." He explains to her with a smile. He looks over to Xiomara "Hey there, still need to talk to about your belt sometime, and if I can help you out with it."
- Xiomara Rojas has posed:
Crush blinks a few times, looks down at the black chain wrapped around her waist then back up at Bart clearly confused. Moving around the coolers and other items, she sets the bags of midnight munchies on the counter and starts to put them away.
"What kinda help you talkin about?" she asks, still trying to figure out what he means. She often forgets that others don't know anything about Obelus.
While tucking a bag of Lays into the cupboards she glances toward Raven, someone she hasn't met, which places a bit of tension between her shoulder blades. "Yo," she offers then adds, "I'm Crush." in another attempt to be socially correct.
- Rachel Roth has posed:
Raven's cocked brow remains that way while Bart explains. "Food. For your friends' pets. Right." she remarks, in a tone that clearly believes Impulse, and yet... Seems stoically critical of what he's doing. Regardless, she isn't the person bankrolling this whole thing. What Bart wants to do with his money, he's allowed. As long as she doesn't have to clean it up.
Her attention shifts to Crush, and she gives the woman a nod, along with a short sip of her cofee. "I've heard." she responds, in an... Admittedly, well, rude-adjacent fashion. Raven is nothing of not an entirely neutral person, and her lack of inflection can be... Jarring.
"I am Raven." Not a 'nice to meet you' to be heard, but if Crush has heard anything about Raven, that is frankly to be expected.
- Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen looks over and says "Well, you know I go to school for a vet medicine right?" He asks Xiomara. "I am trying to learn about others pets, and companions, so if there is an issue someone is able to help them. Also make sure to make up some food for them. I have been working on some stuff for Silkie, and for Goliath, but also for more normal animals as well." He explains. He cops up different veggies putting them in bowls. "Is me cleaning fish and red meat going to bother each of you?"
- Xiomara Rojas has posed:
There were a few things Crush had heard about Raven, nothing major about the Titan but just enough to know that her responses were just who she was. To Crush, it was acceptable not to have a 'nice to meet you', because she was much the same way in regards to people. Until she knew them well enough they were all a possible threat, even other Titans. Years on the streets had taught her to always be on guard.
Raven's introduction gets her a nod of recognition, and acceptance of how she did it, then Crush looks back to Bart. The last of the items from her bags get poked into the cupboards. "Obelus ain't a pet," she starts. "I ain't sure what she is really, but a pet don't sound right to my ears. She's just... Obelus. Always been with me, from the day I crashed to Earth."
- Rachel Roth has posed:
Raven shrugs after a moment, listening to Bart's mission statement. "That... Is fine. I figure this would be better off as a guided exercise, but I am not excessively familiar with future learning." she states, before looking at the meat and fish he's preparing. "I don't care." she answers simply; "As long as you clean up after yourself. I will not attend a lecture about keeping the common areas clean. Again." Not that Bart has ever been the cause of one of these, but... Can never be too careful.
Raven can sense the guarded nature of Crush, and as a result, she doesn't pry. When the woman begins describing the chain, Raven looks towards it and there is a moment of- not quite recognition of the chain, but some degree of what it is. In truth, she understands that it has a level of sentience.
"Pets do not have that level of intelligence. I would call it more your companion."
- Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and says "Why I said companions as well, Goliath is much smarter than what you would consider your average pet as well. I just figure we have doctors, and healers who look after us, figure I can help those who don't have someone looking out for us. Heck even started an animal preserve with Emiko and Damian's help that takes in animals others would not, and adding a special area for animals effected by "super intervention"
- Xiomara Rojas has posed:
Obelus shifts around Crush's waist, growing longer to wrap around one more time for two layers of black chain. Whether it was Raven's comment of Crush's reaction to those words, the reason for the sudden need for a second layer is unknown.
Crush's eyes narrow ever so slightly, and her right hand moves to rest on the now two layers of chain. No one, not a single person ever, has made a comment of knowledge regarding Obelus. Raven's statement, whether based from actual knowledge or just guessing, causes another level of tension in the Czarnian.
Rocking her head to the side to crack her neck, she decides it best to take her eyes off Raven and look to Bart instead. "I think it's a noble thing," she offers to the speedster. "To help take care of pets and companions. I ain't real good with animals, but I do like em... I mean, most things don't like me..."
She lets that hang there without adding any more, then finally looks back to Raven and asks in a tone too firm and very blunt, "Whatcha know about Obelus?"
