Conner Kent has posed:
Somewhere in Staten Island there is a secret hideout for young super-heroes. Well, relatively secret. Also, quite dusty, since it has not been used in months.

It was almost three years ago Bart, Tim and Conner met, became friends and got into an endless string of adventure and trouble. For a while this place was as important and the Titan's Tower had been. At least in the imaginations of the group members.

For a while all was perfect. Then life happened. Some teammates left. Some important people died. It was not a major disaster; there was no single point of failure. It is just life between fifteen and eighteen runs fast and changes quickly.

But the three friends never quite lost each other. Not in this age of smartphones and social media groups.

So it starts with a 'guys, I am back to New York, I am enrolling the ESU' to get all started. A few hundred lines later, Conner is here, checking the time in his cellphone. It is not possible he is the first one here. He is NEVER the first one to arrive.

Tim Drake has posed:
Tim Drake is in the shadows, he does his batman, He looks over at Conner, as he looks at his phone "You do realize your going to look down at that thing and then up, and bar is going to be like 3 inches away from you with a "What we looking at?" He asks his friend as he comes down from the dark shadows near the roof. "It is good to see you man, so college got you away from the islands full time?'

Bart Allen has posed:
Sure enough...

Literally a blur enters the room, a blur of red and blue (from Bart's red shirt with yellow emblem on it and blue jeans.) before he stops right about near Tim and Conner. Unlike Tim and Conner, Bart has never been one for sublty at all and is easily the most irritating verbally of the three. "Whaaaaatcha lookin' at there, amigos? I sure hope you haven't done anything crash without the ole Bartster!" He wraps an arm around Conner. "Heeeeeyyy Con-man, how's it hanging? Didnd't break anything too big, did ya?"

One second later, He's right next to tim. "Heeyyy Timmy, still doing your 'I'm Batman' Impression?" Of course, he says the batman line in an attempt at mocking the voice.

Conner Kent has posed:
"I left Hawaii..." starts Conner. Then Bart is there, and he gets interrupted at super-speed. "Down, kid," he laughs. Technically Bart is older... but also something like negative 50 years old. Anyway, Conner looks almost twenty, that gives him the right to call Bart 'kid' in his book.

"I didn't break nothing, I just need a time away from tropical paradise. But I am not ready for gothic creep Gotham city. So New York sounded good," he half-explains. "What about you? Are you even living in the US nowadays?"

Tim Drake has posed:
Tim Drake smiles a bit and will practice his ventriliquism with an "I'm Bartman." In his best batman impression from right behind Bart as best he can. "I am thinking of getting an apartment of my own, but yea would probably be in Gotham, to make the commute easier."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart laughs for a moment at Tim. "Crash! You sound just like him, you know Timmy. But thankfully, the future doesn't explain what happens in that part of the journey. But then again, I never did pay too much attention in history class, the teachers were so moded that every word they said was like a lifetime!" He zooms on down back to Conner with a smirk. "Ah, what, I forgot you were in Hawaii I should have come down, maybe do a little hula and luao eh? eh?" Each time he says 'eh', Bart elbows Conner playfully in his massive bicep.

"Meanwhile, I'm staying with the Garricks, which is so crash. They're givin' me some shelter while I'm doin' some school work."

Conner Kent has posed:
"You forgot I was living in Hawaii all the time I was hanging out here but the first couple months? Birdbrain," mocks Conner, but with a smirk on his lips. "I will definitely get an apartment. As soon as I find one that is not so expensive than I get broke halfway the course. In fact I was thinking about crashing here for a while. Given no one is using it." He blows off some dust from the polished meeting table where they ate a hundred pizzas and shared a thousand stories. "Who are the Garricks?" He finally asks Bart.

Tim Drake has posed:
Tim Drake looks over to Conner, and says 'If you need to borrow some for first and last and deposit can help you out man, know your good for it, and pretty sure I can track ya down if you try to run out on me." He teases a bit to the other, and to Bart. "What grade they got ya in Bart?" He asks as if he has not been keeping tracks on his friens.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart seems to narrow his eyes. "Heyheyhey! Timmy over there's the birdbrain not yours truly." He makes a bunch of hand gestures that really only a ultrahyper young boy would perform. He eventually looks aghast at Tom. "You don't know who the GARRICKS are?! Now who's the bird brain Connie? Not crash, not crash -at all-." Bart crosses his arms before he speaks. "The Garricks are like...THE Speed Dynasty. They're the OGs!" Bart seems to smile then for a second before he looks over at Tim.

"Agh, they got me in like this weird Junior year class. I don't like it man, I'm smarter than all the meat there." Oh yes, he still has that vernacular from the Reach.

Conner Kent has posed:
"Never heard of them," points out Conner. Possibly because they had secret identities and he is not part of the speedster crowd. In fact no one told him Clark Kent was Superman, either. He might have met Kara Zor-El a few times, but that is about all he knows of the Kryptonian crowd. "Aren't you the 'history bleh' guy?"

Mostly it was Tim, Bart and Conner. The new and better (well, younger) Trinity of Heroes. Who cared about old people? (Yeah. Tim did, he is the boring one)

"Thanks Tim, but I got this. I mean, I have large savings. I just need them to last four years, and then find a job I like," which is waaaay into the future. Four years is an eternity for a boy that has only three years of real memories.
