Sparrowhawk has posed:
    Phoebe had let Tim know that she wasn't going to be about too much that evening -- project needed to be finished, and of course someone wasn't pulling their weight. Whenever Tim would return from his evening out, he would find her in the orchestra, lounging on a couch and dozing. Open homework on the floor, two notebooks going, illuminated by the light in the fish tank. Her hair has been re-done, and is currently in a pair of low 'poodle puffs' on her head. She wears jeans, and over that a black-and-yellow Gotham U Rogues sweatshirt.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake Comes walking out from the secret door. He looks around and seeing Phoebe he smiles softly. He will walk over to look over seeing what she is studying for a moment, and then will close the books, and stands there a moment pondering to wake her or carry her to bed.

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    One book was Statistics. The other book was Biological Chemistry. A third book, a battered copy of The Hobbit, was sticking out of her school bag. The books are closed, and she gives a slight stir, bringing the heel of her palm to one eye as she straightens her legs, stretches her arms, opens one eye --

    And immediately jumps, nearly falling off the couch as she hisses "TIM!"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake chuckles a bit softly and will move to help keep her from falling off the couch "Hey there, you were expecting someone else?" He will lean in giving her a soft kiss "Looks like statistics did ya in." He guesses of the two books

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "Uuugh. I know people who take the class for fun." Phoebe protests in a mumble, but gives a smile as she returns the kiss, bringing one hand up to curl gently at Tim's chin before she lets it drop. "Figured if I closed my eyes, maybe I can get it via osmosis," she gives a wry grin, and draws herself up to a sit so that she's not taking up space. "How was patrol?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and says "Think ya might need to use it as a pillow for that to work." He jokes, and will move to sit down beside her "Actually was not patrol tonight, I went and had a bit of a Chat with the boss, told him about you now that he is back in down.

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "Huh? Boss? What booooooossssssssss--" she stiffens, and her eyes go wide as she lets it hit her neurons and then she turns back to Tim.

    "I... I don't..." she begins, and then she rubs the back of her head. "Let me guess... sworn to secrecy, watched over to make sure I don't spill any beans, immediately have to halt training and return to normal life?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake shakes his head a bit and says "Watched and checked out, but trusting my judgement on you. He will probably be watching our patrols without us knowing it for a while. He actually seemed pretty ok with you except one thing he did tell me to talk ya into doing differently.

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    Phoebe looks genuinely surprised at the outcome. She relaxes slightly, and exhales as she rubs the back of her neck. "I eman, what could it be? I keep quiet, I keep my face covered, I've now got armor..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake grins a bit more and will rub her back a bit and says "And you go around using your last name as your hero name. What would you think if I went about calling myself Drake? It does make it a bit easier for someone to figure you out even on accident

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "But Drake would work, it's a male duck!" Phoebe protests, and then gives a huff, and turning herself flops over Tim's lap. "And I emit light, like a Beacon -- but I can see where that might be an issue, yeah." she admits, and just gives a soft 'ugh' sound. "Though, if that's his only complaint, can I really complain?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and says "I am sure when you meet him down the road he will have a lot of things he will tell you, you can improve on, he still does the rest of us." He smiles and says "So looks like your party of the Bat-Family hon."

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    Phoebe gives a little grin, looking up at Tim from where she lay, and she takes a deep breath, and closes her eyes. She wipes at her eyes a little bit, exhaling before she replies: "I know my dad would be proud that I'm getting to help protect the city we love." she whispers quietly.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods, and says "I think he would too hon." He will take her hand in his and gives it a soft squeeze. "So, we will probably be working out a bit more, getitng things crisper. I was thinking maybe tell your mom your getting a closet here for when you spend the night?

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    Phoebe gives a short laugh, reaching up to ruffle through Tim's hair with her other hand. "All right, so we go through more practice time, get some of the moves a bit more polished, work with the throwing knives and tighten the aim--" she trails off, and she gives a short huff of a sound. "Going to have to come up with some sort of name."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and nods a bit "Well I would suggest Love Brid, but I think that might get all confusing. Do you want to go with the bird theme like us, or maybe some mythical being of light?" He hmmms "Let me think a moment?" He does notice she skips the part about talking to her mom.

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "Am I going to ruffle feathers if I don't go with a bird?" she questions playfully, then gives a small shrug as she tilts her head back. "Love Bird also sounds too close to some old show -- Love Boat?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake shakes his head and says "Na, you could go with anything you want to." He hmms a bit more and says "What would ya want to reference? I thought about the african lightning bird, but it is a vampire and more bad things about it than good. Mind you vampire, bat?" He grins at her

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "I'd hate to make people confused with Batman." she gives a wry smile, and leans her head back a moment.

    "... what about Sparrowhawk?" she questions, giving a thoughtful hum. "It'd honestly feel weird being some sort of big bird working with a Robin."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and says "Could work, I thought about Phare, but I think most would think your calling yourself fair." He hmms "Lumis? Flare?" He will ramble off a few watching her reaction as he says the names.

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "Phare? Isn't that an old video game character?" Phoebe's nose wrinkles, and she gives a soft hum, not really finding any of the names... fitting.

    "THere's not a whole lot of intimidating names out there with light, is there?" she purses her lips as she looks up.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and says "Well most people find light hopeful and uplifting, sorta the opposite of dark and intimidating. "Thought about a diety reference, but that could be bad considering they are real and all."

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "Yeah. I'm not about to start encroaching on anyone's ground with trying to claim a relationship to them. That's how curses start!" the girl replies to Tim with a small laugh, and then leans her head back again, trailing her fingers through his hair.

    "Sparrowhawks were referenced in an old TV show my dad liked. They were named after dimunitive birds of prey, no bigger than cardinals or jays -- they some fairies who fought against a mysterious evil that consumed their land, Tir Nan Oc." she purses her lips. "I'm not as scary as a bat, but I'd like to think that in spite of me being 'small', I'd still have talons."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods, and says "So, want to try Sparrowhawk out, you might get called Sparrow a lot if someone is looking to shorten it, how do you feel about that?" He will ask her, and moves to sit with her legs across his legs.

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "Look, to be a hundred percent honest, I still kinda have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not asleep or in a coma dream when I think about what we've been doing at night." Phoebe points out, "I will *deal* with being addressed as Sparrow."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles a bit at her, and says "So, what if I take you to see titan towers soon, that help ya feel more real on it?

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "Tim, I've never left Gotham, if I go to the Titan Tower my brain might melt from all the awesome." Phoebe protests, bringing one leg back and poking him in the side with her sock-clad foot.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and will grab said foot and tickle it. "Well then I might not want to take you to the watch tower anytime soon." He watches her reaction when he brings up that.

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "I... agree." Phoebe replies, and she blushes. "I've been 'kinda official' as a superhero for what, four months?" she ventures, looking to Tim. "What would I do in a room with all those big shots and powerful heroes? I'm just..." she trails off a moment, curling her foot and attempting to pull it away from Tim.

    "... I don't think I'm ready for anything except Gotham yet!"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and does let her foot go, and smiles at her. "Well will tell ya this, there is a chance we will have to go to one or the other, depends if we need to help with something. Plus sometimes it is the easiest way to find specific people like Martian Manhunter. So need to take ya somewhere as Phoebe before we go out as Sparrowhawk, let you see Tokyo, or maybe Athens?" He grins at her "I think going places with you will be really fun."

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "You don't have to take me anywhere, Tim. I'm happy in Gotham!" comes the protest as the girl gives a laugh, and settles her legs back on Tim's, leaning her head back.

    "There's a lot of things to see and do here, and besides, the city needs us."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods, and says "I just think it will be fun seeing you finding all the neat things about other places as well." He smiles and says "So, what pet project should Tim and Phoebe work on for Gotham?" He asks her and starts to massage her feet not tickling them this time.

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "What, you mean like in an official 'rags to riches girlfriend encourages philatropy from nerdling rich kid'?" she considers, and she gives a soft 'oh!' sound at the surprise massage. Her toes curl slightly.

    "Ah... I mean... I don't..." she replies quietly, her cheeks getting darker. "Ugh. Why do you have to ask me that when I can't escape? So not fair."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake chuckles a bit and says "Cause I usually just go with something on the Wayne foundation charity list unless I come across it and realize it needs help, you loook at Gotham and see the good things but also see how to help make it better."

Sparrowhawk has posed:
    "... ah... what... about a public garden? Raise awareness for ecological challenges, found a food forest, educational opportunities showing vermicultured kitchen waste disposal--" Phoebe states as she leans back. "And make it open at night so that the homeless can have a place to get fresh food and water?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and nods a bit to this and says "An idea, might have to worry a bit about Ivy coming around, but we might be able to convince her we are help her with that
