{{Poses
|Poses=:'''{{#var:54|Tim Drake (54)}} has posed:'''<br>Outsiders HQ, what looks like an old warehouse on private property on the outside, is... an old warehouse on private property on the inside...<br><br>Unless one knew what to do, which is the panel at the back of the place that opens a secret elevator that brings said person down three stories into the ground, and out into a wide open main area that has a holo map display in the center of the room, a few labs and work benches along one wall, lockers on the opposite side, and a MASSIVE computer at the back with a curved monitor that takes up the whole wall. Doors lead off to the rest of the compound. <br><br>At the Computer, Excel is currently working on the final touches of the new security system as well as making sure that oracle will get a migrane trying to hack his system, he might be ganius... but he can also be quite the troll as well.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Superboy (212)}} has posed:'''<br>When Tin invited Conner to his team he didn't expect to be the first recruit. Because Tim usually had a plan. A complex, multi-layered plan. Overly complicated. He wants to tell him Excel is a dumb name, but he needs also a new codename, so he (surprisingly) keeps his mouth shut.<br><br>"So where are the others?" He asks, looking around with a vaguely bored expression. Tim and his massive computers. At least the holo map looks cool, even if he is no longer so amazed by the visual of high tech toys. Supersenses do that to you. Reality always feels more interesting.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1134|Stephanie Brown (1134)}} has posed:'''<br>Spoiler was invited by Red Robin, not Tim, = to join. She still didn't know his name even if she knew his face, now. But then she got word to show up at this location in New York. So she showed up as Spoiler. Because, secret identity. Looking around then to Red Robin and Superboy she nods. "Impressive for this short amount of time. Or... do they just have pre-dug team hideouts for sale you can walk in and swipe your golden express card and go?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:54|Tim Drake (54)}} has posed:'''<br>Excel smiles. "Superboy, Meet Spoiler, Spoiler, Superboy." he says as he let's the computer finish decomplileing and loading. "It's been a few months of work, I'm just good at keeping secrets." he says as he starts showing them around. "Work station for gadgets, forensics table, holo map. Dow that way are barracks, everyone get's a room, and on the other side is the training center." He says with a smile. "Also lockers for gear, Superboy, got you an upgraded outfit... I should also have a look at your kit Spoiler." he says, looking at them both. "We have more members, I just havent sent them the addy yet, just me, you two, and Katherine know about this place... OH, Katherine is an AI, android... thingy... apparently her programming is beyond human comprehenshion..." That still wont stop him from trying to get some sort of copy of it.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Superboy (212)}} has posed:'''<br>Whoa. Blonde in purple snuck on him. Shows how much attention Superboy was paying. Or maybe Conner does trust Tim enough to think he is safe in his new secret HQ. Yeah, that is his excuse.<br><br>"Hey, hello," he greets with a winning smile. Spoiler presence almost makes him miss Robin/Excel talking about a new uniform for him. The idea makes Conner give the other boy a suspicious glance. What is wrong with his current outfit?<br><br>"Just call me Conner when we are not out there," he offers Spoiler. "Rob... Excel, you called us to show us around or do we have a mission? Because if you robot friend is not around and the others have not even been told... man, we can't even have a decent pizza party."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1134|Stephanie Brown (1134)}} has posed:'''<br>Spoiler looks to Excel and nods. "Well I'm impressed. You don't seem to be quite the tunnel digging sort but I never try to underestimate people. Most make that mistake with me then realize, too late, that I've got a killer sense of snark" she proclaims smuggly. She nods to Superboy, "Superboy. Conner. Nice to meet you." She looks to Excel again, "Wait, what? You got Conner a new outfit? or me? I'm confused now." She shrugs and looks around. "If I find spy cameras in my room, someone's going to really get it..."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:54|Tim Drake (54)}} has posed:'''<br>"No spy cameras, Promise." Excel says and blinks. "Both, and yes Conner, you need a new outfit... unless you want a copy of superman's outfit, but Black is more your color." he says as he walks with them over to the lockers, handing them each a car.d "Conner, your's is in the locker already, Spoiler, we can work on upgrading your's when you want. Heroes like us need abit more care into our outfits, unlick conner who can benchpress a planet."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Superboy (212)}} has posed:'''<br>Conner leaves planets to Superman, really. As for his own outfit it has become more and more different to Superman's really. Yes, red S on black is more his thing lately. Under a leather jacket, because... because.<br><br>"I'll take a look at the costume," no promises. Costumes are personal stuff, man. Although he has noticed Robin has changed his too. "but why Outsiders?" He asks, about the team name. It sounds very different to Young Justice. He never felt as an outsider, despise being a clone. In truth Conner never allowed himself to stop for long enough to feel outside.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1134|Stephanie Brown (1134)}} has posed:'''<br>Spoiiler rolls her eyes. "More care. I'm well aware you don't approve of my shabby chic costume. Some of us make due with Army/Navy Surplus and thrift stores because we can't afford Sci-Fi armor..." She'd stick her tongue out if her mask let her. <br><br>She shrugs, "New armor would be great. Just don't pick on me 'cause I've got last year's styles from Old AmberGap." She looks to Conner, "Bench press a planet huh? Well. That pretty much proves I'm going to be the team's mascot more or less..." more snark. fear it.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:54|Tim Drake (54)}} has posed:'''<br>"Well Spoiler..." he says as he walks over ot the holo map display, and brings up a file that shows the new spoiler armor. "Double weave synthetic fibers over hardend kevlar, Flexible in the joints for movement, hard points in the fist, knees, and shins for kicks. Eight pouch utility belt with some goodies inside, an under-the-wrist grapple line, as well as a forearm mounted computer... a staff that matches mine, only in purple, new mask with lenses, multiple vision enhancements, and a memory cloth cape for gliding." he says with a smile as he tilts his head at her. "You like?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Superboy (212)}} has posed:'''<br>"Not quite, not yet. I can lift a tank, though," admits Conner. Not much modesty, Tim knows how strong he was a few years ago, a REAL tank was a bit out of his reach. "Team mascot, I thought that was Beast Boy," he offers. "So what are your super-powers?" He had to ask, of course. He rather not admit he can't remember who is Spoiler. Conner does honestly try to keep up with super-heroes, but it is hard to find information in the net about the ones from Gotham.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1134|Stephanie Brown (1134)}} has posed:'''<br>Spoiler walks over to the display and studies the image of the armor and gadgets as Excel ticks them off. She then looks over to him. "I'm not even going to ask how you got the measurements right..." looking back to the display, "But yes. I like it very much. A wet paper sack would be an upgrade from what I have now obviously. This..." She looks back to him. "Thank you." <br><br>Looking to Conner she grins, "Still have me beat. I might be able to lift an icechest..." self depricating to the last. "Powers? I have the unlimited powers of Sarcasm and Snark. And the slightly more limited powers of being inflappable and plucky." Then she turns, fists resting on her hips as she puffs up her chest, "And I can take down a single ninja when I catch one off guard. By. My. Self."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:54|Tim Drake (54)}} has posed:'''<br>"She's nomral.. well... in powers anyay." Excel says with a smile. "Alright then, I'll have this ready for you." He says before turning to conner. "A tank? so um.. when you throw said tank... do you say 'tank you'?" He asks with a smirk, bad pun.. baaaaad pun.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Superboy (212)}} has posed:'''<br>"Lone ninjas are the dangerous ones," points out Conner with a grin. And since Tim (or Batman) don't have powers either, he has learned not to disregard them. Definitely the bulletproof outfit will help her some, though.<br><br>Then... facepalm. "Robin, leave the jokes for someone else. Seriously. Even Cassie was better... oh hell, I forgot to tell you. I met her a few days ago. Wonder Girl, I mean."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1134|Stephanie Brown (1134)}} has posed:'''<br>Spoiler looks to Excel, "I'm hardly normal. I'm -unique-" she declares. Looking to Conner she nods. "They are. But when you catch them off guard they go down like a sack of potatoes." She looks around, "One day I'll be more feared than spiders. Just you wait."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:54|Tim Drake (54)}} has posed:'''<br>"Spiders arent scary.. I mean, take spider man for example, also I'm pretty sure his snark level is way higher thhan your's Spoiler." Excel says with a smirk, before moving to the tranning center. Inside is a raise area with a line of arcade machines, probably for hand eye coordination trainning, as well as a sofa like area for chilling, and in the center is a huge circle platform. "This here... is a power inhibitor." He says about the circle platform. "Used for trainning because even without powers, you should be able to fight." he says as he looks at conner.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Superboy (212)}} has posed:'''<br>"Spider-Man seems cool," comments Conner in passing. "Spider-phobia is the most common phobia, though." Spiders are indeed the most feared thing on Earth. The things one learns in college.<br><br>He follows Tim and Steph into the training center, looking at the power inhibitor quizzically. "It might negate my meta-gen, but unless you have found a way to emit red sun radiation it won't affect my Kryptonian powers. And if you have... lets not use it unless it is really necessary. It takes me a long while to get a full charge of solar energy."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1134|Stephanie Brown (1134)}} has posed:'''<br>Spoiler sighs. "Way to make a teammate feel good about themselvs, Excel. Thanks so much." She walks over, "I'll keep to fighting ninja thanks." It's worked for her so far. She's 1-0 after all. 100% success rate! She moves toward the arcade games. "Yeah. I'll probably spend my time here.. uh.. training. Hand-eye coordination is important."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:54|Tim Drake (54)}} has posed:'''<br>"I wasn't refering to you Spoiler, you get special trainning." Excel says with a smirk. "And galaga is my favorite." He says, apparently he does that same 'trainning'. "Conner, it's the same one that we had in Young Justice, I even got Black Canary to come and help train." he says with a wide smirk, good ol auntie Di.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Superboy (212)}} has posed:'''<br>Woah. Black Canary is a big name, Superboy glances at Tim briefly. So this team is a serious thing, after all. No kids goofing around. Although Tim was never goofing around... pretty much the rest of the old team was.<br><br>"I'd like to meet Black Canary soon," he decides with a big grin. Please! "Also, uh... okay, I guess you are just showing us around. What about that robot girl? When do we meet her?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1134|Stephanie Brown (1134)}} has posed:'''<br>Spoiler listens and nods. "Impressive, really." She looks at the video games, "I'd love to see Cloak and Dagger.. that's a more obscure but fun one." Turning back to the other two she laughs. "But does she want to meet you?" she asks Conner playfully.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:54|Tim Drake (54)}} has posed:'''<br>Excel blinks at Conner. "You'll meet her soon enough, and no. I didnt build her." He says, and gives a snicker at Spoiler's little zinger. "In anycase, this is the place, you both are already in the security system, and you got your rooms setup, decorate them how you want." he says as he gives a strech. "I'll have the monitor duty schedule up in a few days." Oh no... monitor duty!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:212|Superboy (212)}} has posed:'''<br>Oh no, monitor duty. But he needs to catch up with some TV series, so he probably will survive. However he feels he needs to do a token protest, for old times' sake.<br><br>"Monitor duty, seriously?" He groans. "What are we monitoring for? There are like five superhero teams in New York already. Whatever passes through the Avengers, the Titans and god knows what else is not very interesting." Pause. "Can't we patrol instead? It is more interesting."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:1134|Stephanie Brown (1134)}} has posed:'''<br>Spoiler ugh.. "Yeah.. Monitor Duty sounds like cleaning bathrooms duty. I'm not sure which I'm going to hate more..." she turns. "But okay. When you show me how to do it, I'll pull my weight. Till I figure out how to make my phone do it for me. Or that little computer in my new armor.." she says cutely.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:54|Tim Drake (54)}} has posed:'''<br>Excel looks at Conner. "You think the titans are in any sort of condition to fight anything? Their leader is awol." Hiding in the batcave. "And I think one half of the team is doinking the other half, why do you think I quit?' He says, and then gives a sheepish smile. "Because... there's going to be a patrol schedule as well...." He says before walking off to let the both of them stew over that little nugget of info.<br> <br>
