"One More Titans Micro"
|
3: Herding Cats Sunday, May 1, 2411 11:23 AST Titans Tower Pérez Island, New Avalon "Once Cyborg and I disable the security systems, Batgirl and Ravager will enter from the southwest. Supergirl, you'll engage the heavies at the east end of the complex while - " Robin halted, casting a penetrating glance at the far end of the table. "Wally," he said sharply. "Do you guys mind? I'm trying to run a serious briefing here." Flash moved a couple of inches away from Zoom, his face the picture of innocent indignation. "Whatwewerenotinvisiblymakingoutatsuperspeed," he blurted. The corner of Robin's mouth quirked in a barely-suppressed smirk. "Then how did Elise's shirt just suddenly become inside-out?" Flash and Zoom looked at each other, went identically red, and then looked in opposite directions and slid their chairs another couple of inches apart. Between eyeblinks, the top of the latter's uniform righted itself. On either side of the table, Cyborg and the Ravager facepalmed almost in unison, making Supergirl giggle and Batgirl roll her eyes. "You are aware," said Batgirl dryly, "that Kara can see you when you do that. Right?" The two speedsters plainly hadn't thought of that; they went redder still and moved apart a further inch, looking anywhere but at any of their teammates. Supergirl giggled again, but offered no comment. Robin let them stew in it for a second longer, then said, "... Right. Now, if there's no other new business, maybe we can get on with planning this operation." "Professor Drake, I have a question," said the Ravager, putting up her hand as if in school. Robin hesitated for a moment, then said reluctantly, "... Yes, Rose." "Why don't we just call it a heist? I mean, that's what Daddy and Uncle Jay always call it when we break into someplace and steal stuff." "She's got a point," Cyborg said, grinning. Robin sighed wearily. "Fine. We can get on with planning this heist. Does that make you happy?" Ravager beamed. "Carry on." "I bet this never happens to Terry," Robin muttered, then turned back to the holomap. "Supergirl, you'll engage the heavies... " "Herding Cats" - a Titans Micro-Story by Benjamin D. Hutchins special to the Eyrie Productions Discussion Forum © 2012 Eyrie Productions, Unlimited |

LAST EDITED ON Apr-02-12 AT 09:07 AM (EDT) >"I assure you, most women would not consider speed to be a virtue." -- >The Most Interesting Man In The World, on speed dating. Well, you know. Taking your time is all well and good, but there are times when you just want to push the envelope a little when you're a natural thrillseeker. And you've momentarily forgotten there's a Kryptonian in the room. Also: Tim is totally wrong about this not happening to Terry, which he surely would realize if he thought about it for a second. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

>(In a curious moment of synchronicity, Terry McGinnis was at that >moment wondering if things like this ever happened to Tim.) Technically, Terry's probably got it worse than Tim. He has his own herd of cats (one of whom is actually Catwoman) to deal with, plus more or less running Wayne Industries, and all without Tim or Cassie around to be all quiet and professional about it. On the other hand, he has Alfred, so maybe it all comes out even. By 2411, though, he and Tim could have an epic debate over who's more trying as a teammate, Downtown Stephanie Brown (as in "from way downtown...... BANG") or Rosie the Ravager Wilson. --G.

I had completely forgotten about her, but I'm glad to see you found something for her to do onscreen, even if it's just a micro. Gotta start somewhere :) Offsides [...] in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles. -- David Ben Gurion EPU RCW #π #include <stdsig.h> |

>Ok, even after googling, I don't get what Vlatava has to do with Wally >making out with Elise? It's complicated, and I have to be out the door in a minute or two, so I don't really have time to explain right now, but basically, Wally and Queen Perdita I of Vlatava go back a few years by 2411. Not in that way, she was only 10 at the time, and I'm sure Wally never gave the matter another thought 'cause, you know, Wally. But she might have entertained certain... expectations... and it's never entirely certain how royal personages (particularly adolescent ones) will react to disappointment. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Mind you, Werner's Public Enemy Number One on Vlatava Prime, I would think, and I would think he'd be anywhere but there, given his well-honed survival instincts. Of course, such instincts have a tendency to reach the end of their shelf life at about the time that heroes decide to show up, so ... who knows?

This was all very confusing for me until I googled up this page: http://youngjustice.wikia.com/wiki/Perdita Black Aeronaut Technologies Creative aerospace solutions for the discerning spacer "Murphy never sleeps, but that's no reason to poke him with a sharp stick." |

>Gah. This was all very confusing for me until I googled up this page: >http://youngjustice.wikia.com/wiki/Perdita But you found out and now I don't have to explain the joke! I'm so proud of you! No, seriously, that's awesome. It doesn't happen a lot around here. :) As an aside, I have to say I'm seriously in awe of Perdita's powers of recovery. I'm reasonably sure I wouldn't have my shit that together 12 weeks after a heart transplant, never mind 12 hours. --G. -><- Benjamin D.
