---

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    Watching Batman leave, Batgirl remains silent. Seeming to brood. And her costume only seems to magnify that impression. She looks towards Diana then, expectantly. A good little soldier. Ready to take orders. Direction. Her stance is that sort of quiet relaxed state of always-readiness that someone trained high in the martial arts is.
    It's probably still a little creepy.

Aquaman has posed:
Into the Hall of Justice comes Arthur Curry, he's not wearing any fancy costumes, no Royal Atlantean Armor, or anything else remotely associated with being Aquaman no, Arthur Curry is wearing a tanktop, a pair of blue jeans, and some birkenstocks, such is the benefit of living completely in the public, eye.

"Was that Batman?" Arthur asks with a glance over his shoulder.. "I didn't think he knew how to use a front door." He muses, his attention shifting to Batgirl, then to Diana, his brow raising ever so slightly.

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana would let her eyes follow Batman as he stalked his way out of the training center. She saw Arthur enter only moments later and she just slightly exhaled and turned to look back toward the covered face of Cassandra.

Diana took the combat staff she was holding and tirned it vertical, then walked iat toward the weapon rack ato the side of the training ring. "What lead up to this?" Diana asked Cassandra, unsure of whether the covered-up Batgirl would even respond. "He seemed... more agitated than he usually does."

When Diana would turn around again, combat staff back in his place on the shelf, she'd looked to Arthur and offer him a soft and single nod of acknowledgement.

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    Batman had left Cassandra with instructions to not remove her cowl unless she was alone. Which she no longer is. And, perhaps for Diana, frustratingly, no answer comes from Batgirl. She remains silent, but near Wonder Woman. As if she were a silent shadow of the Amazon, waiting for something to emulate, or directions to follow.
    Still, her head turns towards Arthur as he comes into the area. She watches him, now. Curious. But, not moving an inch. She knows who he is. The Batcomputer showed her all the members of the Justice League. She nods once to show she acknowledges him.

Aquaman has posed:
Arthur Curry offers a little shrug of his shoulder to Diana and makes his way across the lobby over towards the pair, "Good evening, Diana." He says to the Amazonian as he nears, his attention turning towards the cowled Cassandra and giving her a curious little look before offering out a hand in greeting, "I'm Arthur, and you must be one of Batman's protege's, yes?" keeping the hand extended for a few long moments towards the Batgirl.

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana looked to Cassandra who didn't seem interested in verbalizing a response. "I can only imagine how fun dinner is at the Batcave." She quietly muttered before the sea king arrived. "Arthur." Diana said in greeting to him, watching him approach Batgirl. "I do not think she is here for casual chit chat. It would seem that Batman... is hoping that we can instill a little bit of... normalcy into the young woman here, of whom, I have not even seen her face, nor do I know her actual name."

Its not that Diana was annoyed by Batman's actions of dropping a... would-be-clone of himself off with them here at the Hall, but, well... yes, she probably was annoyed.

"I will set you up with a room that you may stay in, young one." Diana told Cassandra. "You will have free roam of the public locations of the facility here, and we will decide what to do about your accompanying me on Embassy matters. But I truly do hope you are willing to open up a little, otherwise... I am not sure what will come of this."

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    Batgirl looks at Aquaman's hand, almost like an animal might, as if sizing it up for intent, and purpose. But, she shakes it, firmly. Girl has a grip, for one so small. A kung fu grip. Maybe.
    She looks to Diana, then, through her expressionless, haunting sort of mask. She nods once her understanding of the rules, and what is being set forth for her. Then, she pauses. She holds up a hand, as if to signal Diana and Arthur to both wait.
    And she moves off the way, back into the corridor she had walked out from. She is not gone but a few moments. She did listen to Batman. But she also understood that his words, and his intentions were somewhat counter productive. She could not remain on the outside, and also work with Diana on being on the outside in cape and cowl. This meant that Diana, at the very least, would need to know who she was. And he had not given Diana any instructions to not talk about her, or her to not talk about herself, to theo ther members of the Justice League.
    So, in the hall? She is alone. And, she removes her cowl. Attempting to obey both the intent, and the law of Batman's requests and wishes. Then, the dark-haired young asian girl's face appears, the rest of her still in her bat-costume, holding the cowl in her hand.
    She walks up to Wonder Woman, and nods to her, a question lingering in her eyes.

Aquaman has posed:
Arthur Curry doesn't put much strength behind his grip, probably a good thing, but he has the strong hand one might expect from one of the titans of the Justice League, "It's nice to meet you then." He says, nodding towards the silent Cassandra.

When the woman turns to make her way off, he turns his attention towards Diana again, "That's quite the task you have before you. I don't know what help I can offer, but if you need anything just ask me, I'll do what I can."

The re-emergence of Cassandra Cain has him going quiet again, surrendering the floor to the two women as Cassandra presents herself, cowl off, to the Amazonian.

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana watched Cassandra walk away toward the hallway of the training center and then she heard Arthur's commentary. "The most you can do is immerse a person into social situations and let the river carry the boat down stream." She replied, using a water reference to help make him feel more comfortable of course!

When the now unmasked Cassandra returns, Diana would step toward her and nod with a soft smile. "And hello." She said to the young one. "Now we are off to a good start." She added, glancing toward Arthur once more before back to the newcomer. "Does having a place to stay here sound like an agreeable arrangement for you then?" She asked Cassandra, slightly dipping her chin while waiting for a response of any kind.

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    Cassandra nods, once. Then, she slightly frowns, her features going pensive, thoughtful. She points back, south-eastwards, towards Gotham. Then, she looks back to Diana, to see if Wonder Woman understands the context of her meaning. And here, if not before, it readily will become apparent that Cassandra hasn't simply been silent because she is emulating the Bat. The lack of verbal communication with her cowl off, with something so simple is a glaring clue, if none others didn't stand out so vibrantly.
    She watches Diana again, and then points down, for the Hall, then to Gotham. Then, brings both fingers together. Again, looks at Diana. Then, looks at Arthur. Hope, in her eyes, someone gets it.

Aquaman has posed:
"You know.. I actually had a more or less normal upbringing." Arthur says towards Diana at her response to his offer to help, "On dry land, of all places, believe it or not."

His attention returns to Cassandra as she starts pantomiming, "I'm not sure if she wants to go back to Gotham, or perhaps commute from gotham instead of staying in Metropolis? Though, I suspect staying in Metropolis isn't a bad thing for her, considering the job you've been given.."

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana watched Cass' actions and then heard Arthur's response, she gave Arthur a small smile before she turned and walked over to her things on a table beside the training ring. It might be odd to see a woman in leather armor with gold accented metalit pieces, reaching into an adidas gym bag to pull out a cell phone... but thats what this Amazon Princess was doing.

Diana turned back to the two of them and she walked back toward Cassandra and offered it to her. "Do you know texting?' Diana asked, offering the device over to the young asian girl that was, for some reason she hadn't learned yet, wearing Batman-style armor...

Batgirl (Cain) has posed:
    Cassandra shakes her head at the phone, indicitive she's not going to take it and she doesn't know how to text. She sighs heavily, then. Defeated. She points down at the ground again. Then, to Gotham. And, her mouth forms the words. She does not sound like a person with a speech impediment. Not in the least. The word comes out slow, clear. But by the way her features twist, it's almost as if the word costs her something. Or, as if she had to -really- concentrate, to speak it. "Both." It's the only word that seems to come, or that is going to come.

Aquaman has posed:
"A place to stay in Metropolis, and in Gotham then?" Arthur asks with a glance towards Cassandra, the depth of the issue starting to sink in and he casts a little glance over towards Diana Prince with a brow just starting to slowly lift once again, a pensive look starting to form upon his features as he looks back towards Cassandra.
