Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen comes into the roost at speed. He is loading bag after bag into the kitchen area. It seems Bart had to do the roost shopping this week. He has pretty much all the counters and some of the floor covered with bags, as he looks about and ponders where to start.

Conner Kent has posed:
For once, the fridge is pretty full, and there is some food in the cabinets. Someone else did a supply run, and that is not usual since few of the Outsiders use the Roost lately. But Conner has been here quite often.

"Hey Bart... damn, are you planning to throw a party?" Conner glances at the bags. "Or planning to eat everything yourself? What have you been up to? It has been a while."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen looks over and says "Well, figured we would need a bit more restocking, but I am sure, I can find a use for what won't fit in the fridge and such." Speaking of such he puts a few pizzas in the oven and some eggrolls in the microwave. "Working, school the usual. I did meet a new girl, who was trying to learn a version of flying based on magnetic attraction recently.

Conner Kent has posed:
"Hmm, Emiko left Gotham?" No, Conner has not been up to date on everything, but he though they did match well. Then again, Kiden is gone too. "School, uh? You must be finishing college this year, right? Last year is usually the tough one. And then you get to work for real. In my case that means a lot of travelling, which I love."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods and a bit of a sadness does show for a bit "Yea, she had to deal with some stuff dealing with her training and such. We are doing the whole break while she is gone, hoping she is back but she wants me to date if I find someone while she is away. Aint met anyone on that front lately. I got a bit longer in school with it being a medical degree.

Conner Kent has posed:
"Damn, I thought you were on a biology major," replies Conner. "Yeah, medical school, residence and all that are like seven years, hmm?" He chuckles, because if someone had told him Bart would be a doctor when they first met, he would have thought it was impossible.

"Well, that is pretty cool. Are things going well with the Flash group? I got to talk to Kal recently, about Galactus and a New Krypton, but things seem to go well in that part of the galaxy. I am trying to focus in some issues here and not to worry about events I can't control."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen says, "Well it is veterinary medicine, I am almost finishes with ESU, but I have the Vet school specific stuff which is another four years, I am thinking about trying to do it in three, if I can make it believable. " He admits. "Same old mostly, aint had much time to spend with Barry or Wally, and Irie, seems back in her time for now at least. Did end up having to go down to Manchester to help a friend out recently.""

Conner Kent has posed:
Conner nods at the clarification. That makes more sense, and he steps in the kitchen to help Bart find a place for the groceries. "Let me help, I have been lurking here because Conner Kent has become a target for certain people that didn't like my writing. They are annoying, and they have made almost impossible to do any research or journalist writing in New York. If I was a normal reporter, they would have really screwed up my life."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmmms and nods his head, as he puts some stuff away and says "You thought about the whole glasses thing? Or maybe you could have some friends come on up there and deal with them that they aint expecting?"

Conner Kent has posed:
"Glasses are silly," point out Conner. "Corrective surgery is easy, only old people wear glasses nowadays, and... well, people scared of laser surgery or cybernetics. And seriously, if tomorrow it was in the papers 'Conner Kent is Superboy' or something, I don't even care. All my friends already know."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit to this and says "I will admit, I have considered it myself, I had to tell an old friend this weekend. I rescued her, and she needed more reassurance than jus the mask. I got her to a safe place, and showed her it was me before I took her home to her family, so she knew she was safe.

Conner Kent has posed:
Conner nods. "We don't have much to lose, we both came from strange places. No big secrets to protect. No extended family... well, none that can really be attacked," the relatives in his father side at least. And no one knows about Lois.

"It might make my reporting work harder, or easier," something to consider. People might take more seriously his articles. Or maybe not, since his early Superboy years he was a teen influencer and it was... quite a show. "Oh well. At some point we need to go check Gamorra. And I mean... probably topple the government."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit to this and says "Well, you know I am there soon as ya need me SB.," He tells the other "I even have my covert uniform ready if we need it." He says of the dark colored uniform Emiko had made for him. "I got a few folks I would worry about from jr high, but yea, thats about it. Someone wants to mess with Jay, or Max, well feel sorry for them.

Conner Kent has posed:
"We'll see..." Conner finishes organizing the cabinets and leans back against the counter. "I gotta talk with Tim, maybe with someone from the League too. I don't want ending up doing more harm than good, too many times someone brings down a tyrant and the country goes straight into a much worse anarchy."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and says "Or another tyrant taking over the area." He hmmms and says "Maybe I should go spend some time there see what I can make of the local populace and such."

Conner Kent has posed:
"Right, that," confirms Conner. "How is your Japanese?" He asks, because they are going to stick like sore thumbs if they go there. Gamorra's population are a mix of Japanese and Malay. "It is not easy to get there - well, it is for us. But going undercover is not going to be easy. So, anyway, maybe we can talk next weekend if some folks show up. For now... lunch?"
