=FOUR YEARS AGO=

There was a very dark six month period in the lives of two sixteen year old girls.

One of them, Caitlin Fairchild, was on the run of the US government and their illegal experiments with gen-activated kids children of the Team 7 supersoldiers. She found refuge and a job with a shadowy private corporation as researcher and soon found herself neck-deep in illegal experiments as nasty as anything I.O. used to do. And of course, quitting was not an option in NOWHERE.

Meanwhile Rose Wilson was trying to start her career as a metahuman mercenary and finding no one was very interested in a tiny sixteen year old, even if Deathstroke was willing to vouch for her (to a point). Until NOWHERE made her a really good offer. It was a lot of cash, and it was a trap. Yes, they wanted her to be the handler of a super-powered agent, but they also mercilessly experimented on her, tampered with her memories and her powers and in general treated her like a slave.

Meanwhile Conner... well, he was one of the experiments. Caitlin and Rose were told he was a clone. Cait managed to wake him up, and then he oversaw his power development. Rose was part of the virtual reality world he lived. Things got confused then. Memories were tampered with using the VR technology. Information was deleted. Psychic powers were used.

The girls escaped. Deathstroke might have been involved. Some of the experiments also escaped. Somehow Conner made it to Metropolis and became a super-hero. Or it was perhaps the lab was near Metropolis, it is hard to remember those details.

=TODAY=

Moving furniture. The most unglamorous part of changing apartment. And of course Rose volunteered Conner. Which is only fair, it was a slow (and cold!) Friday evening. Besides, she offered pizza.

So Conner rented a truck and they picked the furniture from the storage where her stuff had been dumped after her previous apartment company decided she was missing for too long. In their defense she was like four months in Africa off the grid.

"So..." asks Conner, following the white-haired girl to the door. "You said she was a very tall redhead?"

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Just as they enter the room, there is the thump as she puts down an end of the couch and slowly rises up to wipe her forehead " Whew "... Clearly, she was already in here and putting stuff down, already has some Art on the walls too ! But when she turns as the door opens her smile freeze's Solid and her eye's go wide " Conner? "

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson balances the pizza carefully in her arms and talks about it as walks in the freezing cold with Conner, "And it doesn't have meat," she tells him helpfully, motioning to the pizza in her hands, "What? Oh, yeah she's god damn tall," she explains, moving her hand up to indicate her height in a rather overblown estimate.

"By the way, you be careful with the last of my f***** stuff! I already stashed my swords and stuff, so this crap is the only stuff I have," she explains. Rose walks up into the dark apartment to the door and opens it for Conner. She eyes the suspicious Caitlyn, "What the f****in hell, I thought you said you didn't know the tall redhead?" she says Conner.

Superboy has posed:
Woah. Tall redhead indeed! Conner blinks surprised at seeing Caitlin is taller than him, but then he grins. "Yeah, I am Conner. Rose told you about me? Don't believe anything she says, it wasn't my idea! Besides, she is trouble."

But Rose says he know her... confused glance to the shorter girl. "Uh, no?" He enters the apartment to leave the bags on the floor and then looks back at Caitlin. Truth is she seems vaguely familiar. Like a deja vu thing. But Conner is sure he would remember a six and a half feet tall redhead. "Anyway, we have pizza," and pizza fixes everything.

Fairchild has posed:
Blinks for a moment she almost wants to say something before she gives one of those dead inside smiles " Right pizza works."
     She looks around " So umm I got most of my stuffed moved in." If anybody looks, at most of her items still have price tags on it like the girl barely had anything at all.

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson holds up the pizza and motions to it, "Yeah Cait, /I/ totally have pizza," she tells the girl, "Did I tell you about Conner? I musta forgot," she says and squints at nothing in particular.

"Yeah my shitty landlord closed up my last apartment and some of my stuff is still missing," she tells Caitlin, "I think he's a supervillain Conner, you'll have to investigate," she says to him and snickers, putting the pizza down on the kitchen counter for Caitlin to sample.

Superboy has posed:
"All landlord are super-villains, nothing to investigate. Case closed," declares Conner with a smirk. And a slice of pizza. "Still some things in the truck, let me bring it in," he adds. "But if you want we can try to track down your missing stuff tomorrow. Ah... wait here a minute, it is too cold outside. I'll be right back."

He heads out, but will return in a few minutes with several pieces of furniture that weight too much for a normal person and somehow don't fall to the floor despite being piled on an unstable position. The tricks of tactile telekinesis.

He probably was too quick for a sixth floor, and he probably carried too much. Conner is not very good at keeping his identity hidden. But in his defense, he was careful enough no one saw him.

Fairchild has posed:
She can't help it she can't she wants to but she can't, she's grabbing a Slice with Rose looks out of the corner of her eye. " Connor you Picked up too much weight about 200 pounds too much on your left arm, and it's clear your using your Tk, you know that' s a give away in public. "

     It takes a moment before she catches up with what her mouth said and she clamps her hand on her mouth " Forget I said that " . Cursing her brain for moving to fast and her mouth needs a better filter, as she tries to get to the bathroom before they say anything not that it would really help much! That door wouldn't stop a normal person let alone Connor.

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson laughs at Caitlin and her statements, "Yeah Conner, you're lifting way too much, you are looking really strained and stressed out. Better rest," she chuckles at him and shakes her head.

"I lost this Vase I got from China. And my endtable. That jackass landlord took it, prolly. And some of my knives," she comments, "Are you a superhero or what? C'mon," she whines while staring at Conner.

Superboy has posed:
Conner was going to ask Rose where she wanted the couch when Cait offers that strange piece of advice and the young man looks at Rose quizzically. Did she told Cait her boyfriend has telekinesis? Maybe she was drunk. "I am just, uh, in really good shape," he says lamely as the redhead suddenly seems to need to go to the bathroom.

Maybe the pizza didn't agree with her stomach. Again, he looks back at Rose.

"Damnit, don't tell everyone I am a superhero, Rosie," well, at least give the roommates a couple weeks! "I mean, I don't keep it secret, but I don't advertise it either. No one knows in college except for a couple teachers."

Fairchild has posed:
Is in the bathroom when she hears Connor and she sighs in relief he didn't clue in.. Oh good, she almost let it slip her face getting sad they don't remember her, but she shakes her head puts a fake smile back on her face and opens the door " Sorry about that, so your a superhero eh anybody I know?. " She moves and grabs what looks like a renaissance painting of Superman Sitting on a cliff watching waves, as she moves to go put it up on the wall. Inside the box looks like she has a few .

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson holds her hand out, "Uhh I was being metaphorical? Yeah, he's not a superhero who can lift 500 tons of shit with his pinkie. It's just a saying," she tells them and smirks. She then looks around at the furniture, "Don't arrange it like that. That looks like shit, move it around so the things are lined up and they parallel each other. She motions Conner over.

Superboy has posed:
"What no..." about the superhero or the furniture. Damn girls. He goes for another slice of pizza. Munches. "Your stuff, you organize it, Rosie. I am only here to haul things. Like a superhero." Or something.

To Cait, he shrugs hopelessly. "You know. I am starting to think you recognized me outright and now you are being coy or something," he considers. "I am Superboy. But please keep it among us. I am trying this normal life with secret identity idea. Not that living close to Rose is anything like normal."

Fairchild has posed:
Slips again " Super powered boyfriend and super-powered murder machine girlfriend what's not normal? " . She looks back at the picture " What's wrong with it there? " She says to rose " I have three others to put up ". She seems not to react to his reveal at all either, but she pauses before she says in a sad voice that perhaps reveals a lot " I know you."

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson frowns and stares at Conner, "You're not gonna move this shit? You put it here," she whines and complains, pointing at the furniture, "Come on.". She sighs and looks at the furniture frustratedly.

She puts her hands on her hips, "What the f*** is going on?"

Superboy has posed:
"What?" Murder machine?

Glance to Rose. Just how drunk was Rose to tell Cait those things?

Glance to Cait. She can't possibly be taking this so calmly. "Okay. Stop and rewind. What the hell is going on?" He folks his arms. "Why do you think Rose is... a murder whatever?" He frowns. The closest he has seen Rose to kill someone was when she fought Mammoth, after all. Oh, and the frog-men of the Savage Land. But we don't ever talk about the frog-men. Ever.

Fairchild has posed:
Crap Ooppps her eyes go wide and slaps her forhead before she sighs " I know your booth hero's okay, " She walks over and grabs one of the bits of furniture a rather heavy bit. With one hand and basically puts it where rose had as "I'm strong too see ." yep distract them with the fact your a meta too that should work right.

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson motions to herself, "I'm not a F***** superhero, or a supervillain so you better stop with that shit. Why don't you guys shut up and relax for once? I don't know how you know each other and I'm getting annoyed by this whole line of conversation. She watches Caitlin move the furniture around and crosses her arms with a frown, "Okay I'm going out."

Superboy has posed:
Conner snickers at Rose's annoyance. No, she is not a hero. "But you could..." oh, she is leaving? "Wait, you are going to freeze that pretty butt of yours out there," he protests. Damn girl. He picks another slice of pizza and follows her. "I'll bring her back. Uh... except maybe tomorrow. Nice to meet you, Caitlin. It is Caitlin, right?" Did they get introduced? He is pretty sure she is Caitlin anyway.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Gives a little wave before she plops down with a bigger thud than a girl her size should " Fuck." Placing her face in her hands once they leave "Way to go cait .. find your friends after years they don't remember you, and you let it all spill in the first few mins " She grumbles " might as well start talking Kryptonian like when you met Superman '. She leans back " That went over Fantastic then too " She rubs her forehead " I have 6 Ph.D.'s at 21, yet I'm still a dumbass ."

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson walks out of the apartment, "I don't know wtf is going on," she yells at Conner, "You better cut it out," she tells him. "I'll keep an eye on the redhead to see if she fucks with me," she promises and heads out into the cold.
