Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild It's early Afternoon except right now Caitlin is in the apartment off to the side where she's created her own kinda lab, Mostly from bits and bobs, she got from scrounging in Wayne labs and lex corp trashcans. It's shocking what they throw out! Only thing right now she's got a blueprint hunt up of one of nightwings baterangs and it looks like she's making improvements.

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson walks out of her bedroom dressed in a t-shirt and yawns because it's mid-afternoon and she's just getting up, "You're making too much noise, Cait gawd," she yells, "I was out late fighting ninjas and now I need a waffle," she says, walking into the kitchen.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Points " I made you food it's in the fridge just heat it up for 2.36 min in the microwave " . It's, of course, nice breakfast with waffles and eggs. and some fruit. "

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson opens the refrigerator and bends down, looking inside, "I don't eat eggs!" she lets out, grabbing the waffle, "Oh great, here it is," she mutters and then turns back around to the microwave, "Cait, where are you? What are you doing?" she yells.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Looks up lifting her makeshift micro goggles as she leans over " Working on improving something I gave to Richard why? " She asks " Well that and making more of them, cause you know he's gonna lose em "

Nightwing has posed:
    "Hey, Cait, what's all the noise abou-" Dick's voice calls out as he comes walking out of the Cait's bedroom. The typically costumed vigilante is decidedly not in costume. His dark hair is mussed up a bit with bedhead, and he's only wearing a pair of boxer briefs in black with an electric blue waistband. His icy blue eyes blink, as if he might be trying to blink off some sleep, and he squints against the light as he peers at Rose. "Oh."

    He clears his throat and gives a low whistling sound. His eyebrows hike upwards and he softly claps his hands together, before saying,

    "Hello, Rose."

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson is not just wearing boxers like Dick, instead wearing a t-shirt but nobody's coming out of her bedroom. NOBODY. She glances at Caitlin, "Okay what the f*** Cait?" she asks her. PING! The microwave goes off happily, signaling that the waffle is done. She puts her hand on her hip and eyes Dick as he whistles at her.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Blinks and looks over and turns pink " I ahhh uhhh well ummmm " She looks sheepish " Ummm remember that guy I said knew you and broke in.. well umm tadda? "

Nightwing has posed:
    "Well, this isn't awkward at all or anything," Dick says as he looks at Rose eyeballing him, and then turns his attention elsewhere to peer about for where Caitlin might be hiding herself. Ah. There she is. Right. She didn't do much in the way of explaining anything. That should be fun.

    "Sooooo..."

    Dick shrugs his broad shoulders, and then sort of points to the fridge, where Rose stands directly on the path between him and it. "Can I just get the...I'll just..."

    He moves and sort of skirts around Rose to open the fridge door, and retrieves the orange juice from within it. Reaching up, he takes a glass out of the cupboard and pours himself a glass. Turning, he rests his back against the counter and takes a drink of the juice he holds in one hand. "So what's new, anyway?"

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson holds her hands out, "Okay this is too weird, what the f***?" she blurts out loudly, "None of you are professional--Hey! That's my juice. That's our juice, jackass," she tells him, pointing at the juice, "Dude you don't live here," she says, then glances at Caitlin, "Does he live here? No he doesn't live here. What the f***?" she wonders.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Blinks "I figured you'd say that so kinda yeah he is.. I'm making him stuff to use so he's sorta paying my rent". She turns a touch pink " So yeah he lives here". Yep, she was scheming even back then on dick, smart girls are scary!

Nightwing has posed:
    "I... I mean... I don't live here but... It's juice. If you need more juice, I'll go buy some more juice," He says, giving Rose an incredulous side eyed look, before tossing back the glass of juice and downing it in a few big gulps. Setting the glass back on the counter, he shakes his head and says to Rose, "You're too high strung. You should relax a little."

    With that, Dick walks away from the counter,leaving the glass in the sink as he passes by and moves to Cait, where he puts a hand on her shoulder and leans in to kiss her cheek. Quietly he says, "Don't provoke her. She's a grumpy cat."

    And with that, he looks between the two girls and sort of thumbs back towards the door to Caitlin's bedroom and remarks, "I'm just gonna go... yeah... put some clothes on."

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson puts her hands on her hips as she watches Dick drink her juice and put his glass in her sink, "Uh huh," she mutters. She takes her waffle out of the microwave and walks to the table, plopping it down aggressively. She starts to eat it.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Smiles brightly as dick walks over and speaks " I know it's how she shows she cares " she says softly before he speaks of getting dressed and she pouts " awww " . But she nods as she stands up and walks over sitting down she holds a knife out " Feel like stabbing me a few times to make yourself feel better?I didn't plan it out you know, just , just kinda happened."

Nightwing has posed:
    Dick disappears into Cait's room and comes back out almost immediately, with his shirt slung over one shoulder and pulling his jeans on and fastening them. "You know, you shouldn't be this upset. I came here because I was worried about you. I didn't..."

    Dick shrugs.

    "I didn't really believe you when you told me you had a roommate and all of that. I wanted to check in on you. Make sure you were alright and not just living in squalor. But, then I met Cait," he says, as he pulls the shirt from his shoulder and brings it down over his head, stretching it over his lean muscled torso. It clings tightly to his chest and upper arms, still. "And yeah. Things just kind of happened."

    It's not like Dick has a history of "things just kinda happening" with bombshell redheads or anything. Not in the slightest.

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson looks embarrassed as she eats her waffle, "Nobody needs to worry about me. I /told/ you I had a roommate named Caitlin. I told you that. You didn't believe me?" she whines to Nightwing, then leans back in her chair and crosses her arms, "I'm a normal person with a normal roommate and a normal job. I'm not an assassin who beats up everybody and kills ninjas," she tells him, "I'm having my waffle and being normal, okay?" she asks, "Anything else you want to tell me, sensei?" she asks him, picking up her fork again.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Sits next to Rose and leans on the table she's watching for now. Mostly cause every time she tries to help she always screws it up and it's clear they have a teacher-student thing going on. She frowns thinking what that makes her. She's sleeping with her besties teacher ..

Nightwing has posed:
    "You told me you had a roommate and that she was normal. That's all. And... no. I didn't believe you," Dick replies, before turning his attention on to Caitlin and giving a wolfish, lopsided grin. "And I was right to not believe you, even if for the wrong reason. Your roommate is not what I'd call normal. She's pretty extraordinary."

    With Caitlin now seated at the table, Dick reaches over, and places a hand on her shoulder, letting his fingers knead at the muscle just under the skin. "And it's good. That you're not an assassin going around trying to stab people in Bludhaven. You know... Like I caught you doing the other night... Like I said, I was just worried so I tracked this place down and came to check in on you. Because I care about you and your wellbeing."

    He shrugs his shoulders, and leans back in his chair, stretching his legs out under the table and letting his arms hang loose at his sides. "What else do you think I should tell you? I don't really know what you want to hear from me. I will tell you that Caitlin made some cupcakes and they're pretty incredible, but after a waffle that's like asking for a sugar crash, so I don't recommend it until at least four hours have passed."

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson looks like she might cry as she pokes at her waffle with her fork, not saying anything about killing ninjas or taking contracts to kill dozens of other people, "I'm normal..." she says, obviously struggling with that statement, "See you're not part of my normal life. I used the training you gave me to kill people," she says and looks upset again, "Now you're here in my normal life!" she sighs.

After a pause, Rose says, "I call it normal cause I'm trying to convince myself. My fake normal life. I'm a fake. I'm a big fake liar and murderer. That's what my Dad says," she says.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild She smiles as Nightwing touches her and leans into his hand reaching out to touch his leg softly.

     When rose speaks like that she moves over and hugs rose she doesn't say anything she just wraps her arms around Rose and holds the other "Yep and I just slept with my besties teacher so I'm horrible, I told you before rose but you forgot so I'll tell you again your not normal your extraordinary and my first real friend " .

Nightwing has posed:
    "You're not normal," he states flatly. "You never will be normal, Rose Wilson. I wish I could tell you different, but I refuse to lie to you. Your father has done enough of that already. You're not normal. You never will have a normal, ordinary life. You've already moved past that point in your life. But... Just because you're not normal doesn't mean that it's bad. You have so much to offer, Rose. You're talented, you're skilled, and you're incredible. You just need to believe it yourself. You're so much more than normal. You're so much better."

    He doesn't try to stop Caitlin from retreating to comfort her friend, though the words about sleeping with her teacher and being horrible elicit a twisting of his handsome features into a wince. "Th... first of all, I'm not her teacher. I'm her friend. And second, that really doesn't have anything to do with this."

    He stands up from his chair and circles around the table, where he moves the waffle plate away from in front of Rose and sets it aside, so that he can seat himself there, on the table, in front of the hugging roommates. He leans forward and drapes one arm over Cait's shoulder and back, and the other lopes loosely around Rose's neck. His hands cup both of their heads, drawing them in so that all three of their foreheads bump together. "I can leave if you want, but it's not going to change anything. You're not a fake, a liar, or a murderer. You're just someone who has been trying too hard for too long to fit into the square hole your father wanted you to fit into, when you're a round peg. Just... Be a round peg. Be awesome. Be what your heart wants you to be. Be the person that you needed when you were young and scared and alone. And in the meantime, you have some pretty cool people around you who want nothing more than to help you do just that, Rose."

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson pushes on Caitlin and stands up, bumping her chair backwards, and she balls up her fists at her sides, looking defensive that people are being so nice to her, "I'm gonna kick all your asses," she says, "You don't know what the f*** you're talking about," she tells him, as she tears up, "But you're so nice. I don't know why you're so nice to me," she tells him. Her loses her aggressive fists and looks down.

"I took advantage of your lessons, sensei. I'm not a nice person," Rose tells him, "I wish I could be as f****** nice as you guys. I try to be normal but I don't fit anywhere, to be honest. I'm trying but it's difficult. You caught me sneaking out and that's why I'm a liar and a jerk."

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Looks at her being all angry and doesn't help not one bit " Because you were my first friend and you saved me, They made you forget but I didn't". She says softly. She leans on Dick when he pulls her and watches Rose she wants to help but she knows she needs to let her be angry. She sighs "Everybody fucks up rose , You being angry shows your not a bad person " .

Nightwing has posed:
    "Dick," he says quietly after a moment, letting Caitlin speak first. "I'm not really training you anymore, so the whole sensei thing... it never really felt that right to begin with. Not really my style. Plus, it indicates a subordinate and superior relationship. I don't think of you as my student, or my subordinate, Rose. So... Dick. Call me Dick."

    "And you're nicer than you give yourself credit for. Yes. You've done some bad things, Rose. You have blood on your hands. But... you were a weapon. That was it. A weapon has no choice who it is directed at. It has no agency to decide who lives or dies. It is the instrument. Not the intent. Intent is what separates the good from the bad. Your father was the one with the intent. You were just the weapon that he manipulated with that intent," he says, shaking his head and frowning. "And no one here is asking you to try to fit in, either. I don't want you to be normal or mundane. Hell, I don't even want you to be nice. I want you to just be yourself. I know that you have a good, kind heart, despite everything that you've done and been through. And that only proves what I'm saying about you being a weapon. You wouldn't have that guilt or that shame or that anger if you didn't have a kind heart and a person who ever had the will and intent to be a murderer? They don't have kind hearts. But people who are used and manipulated into being weapons can. And they hurt for it."

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson frowns at Nightwing as he demands that she break her professional teacher-student barriers and call him Dick, "Okay," she mutters unconvincingly, perhaps not sure what to make of that demand. She holds up her hand, "Okay that's enough of this shit," she chuckles, "I'm gonna get a shower. You guys are awesome," she tells them. "Then I'm gonna quit my gloves modelling job and get something else. I'll tell them my sensei told me to...I mean, I'll tell them Dick told me to," she chuckles again. She then points at Dick, "Don't drink all my juice," she says and puts her dishes away.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild giggles and glomps rose and hug her with that cleavage a bit before she kisses the top of her head. She thinks " Maybe I can ask Power Girl to help you get a job as a security officer at star labs? She is gonna help me get a job as a researcher".

Nightwing has posed:
    He smirks as Rose corrects herself and calls him Dick, his arms folding across his chest. He gives her a look with his chin upraised and his head cocked to one side, but just shrugs one shoulder. "Whatever works for you. I'm not telling you to quit whatever job you have, as long as it is a job you want. If modeling of any sort is something that appeals to you, do it. But we both know that part of you is always going to want to be in the fray."

    A pause and he looks over at Caitlin and chuckles, "Or you could both come to Gotham or Bludhaven. I can get you on at Wayne in Gotham.... Aaaaaaaaaas long as you can not like slip up and let my adopted father in on my little Nightwing secret. He... would not be pleased with that. And he'd think it was the Batman's fault,and the last thing Gotham needs is beef between Bruce Wayne and Batman."

Ravager has posed:
Rose Wilson peeks out of the kitchen at Caitlin, "Yeah, totally tell her I was a bouncer and shit," she explains and then glances at Nightwing, "Yeah well, it annoys the f*** out of me, so you said be myself right? Yeah well I can't keep doing that shit. I think I'd really piss off the Gothamites if they saw me in Gotham or Bluudhaven long term," she tells him. She motions to him, "Okay, you guys talk or whatever," she says, waving at them dismissively.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Smiles as she moves back towards Nightwing and gives him a rather hot kiss before she leans against him and looks over her shoulder towards Rose " Have a good shower " she beams. She cocks her head "Is Wayne a good boss? " She asks softly " You know he understands the whole skipping a lot of work thing without giving a good explanation? "

Nightwing has posed:
    "If it annoys you, then yeah, get rid of it. Get all Marie Kondo with your life. If it doesn't bring about a spark of joy when you hold it, toss it out, you know what I'm saying?" He says, because of COURSE Dick watches Marie Kondo. "We'll talk more about Bludhaven and Gotham later. Enjoy your shower."

    With that, he turns to meet Caitlin, just as she comes in for that kiss. His long, thick arms encircle the Glamazon's waist, pulling her in close as he rises up onto the tips of his toes to meet her and return the kiss. As he pulls away from it, his teeth capture her bottom lip, pulling it tight, and letting it snap free before those deep, bright blue eyes open up to look at her.

    "Well, he is a great boss, and he's my father, so... But yeah. He's prettygood about letting select members of the team have flexible hours to accommodate special needs. And... well, again... he's my father. So, if I put in the word, and give him the old puppy dog eyes... "

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Smirks " he'd have to be if you're that nighttime vigilantly thing with Batman, well used to." she runs her fingers along that stomach as she kissing him again leaning down, so it's easier for him " I dunno how interested he is in alien genetics and technology to deal with them though " . She says " I suppose I could just go back to basics and see what he wants me to work on".

Nightwing has posed:
    His stomach shivers under her touch. She's good about doing that to him. Murmuring a contented sound, Dick rests his hands on her hips and lowers his face to brush the tip of his nose across the curve of her neck. "Well, I've never worked too terribly much in the office, so to speak. It's... there's a place for me if I ever want it, but... I'm kind of set on making my own path. Well..."

    He actually seems a bit sheepish, for once in his life, as he adds, "As much as I can with... you know... being a trust fund kid and all. Which... admittedly, I'm kind of shameless about. I worked for awhile as a police officer with Bludhaven PD, but it didn't really stick. I could go back, I guess, but... it's hard trying to juggle that police schedule against the other schedule. Both demand long hours, and while you would think they would synergize and intersect nicely, it's not so simple."

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Hmms for a little bit " You need to find one of those jobs that let you do the other thing " she smiles " Cause one thing is for sure being a night man without powers " she pinches that butt of his " While rock hard and on so yummy does mean you most likely spend a lot of money " She grins.

Nightwing has posed:
    Dick tenses up at the pinching and beams from ear to ear. He shakes his head, and says, "Surprisingly little money, to be perfectly honest with you. I'm resourceful and I always recover whatever I can. I don't just throw one of my wingdings at someone and not retrieve it. That could be used as evidence, plus, I don't want to have to keep making them. Things like that. The lifestyle itself mostly just requires a high protein and carb diet to keep me fueled up through staying awake for long periods of time and intensive physical exertion. The job itself takes the place of any gym membership I'd ever need."

    He sort of cocks his head back, indicating his rear and gives her a playful wink, before saying, "But you can do that again, if you want."

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Thinks for a moment " I have a shake I can give you for that " she smirks " I made one up before a shake that allows you to get away with 4 hrs of sleep and keep you fueled up all day, you still need that little bit of sleep and normal food not to feel hungry, but it keeps you going.. kinda like a superfood shake for soldiers and super soldiers ".

     she kisses you again " We need to get condoms or were gonna be in trouble " . She says brightly as she sucks your lower lip

Nightwing has posed:
    "Oh? I have a pretty strict regimen when it comes to my diets and energy intakes, but if you can give me a full nutritional rundown, I'm sure I can make use of it," he says, before meeting her for another kiss. His hands on her hips pull her gently forward against him as he remarks, "I tend to take smaller, two hour naps a couple of times a day. It's a weird schedule, but it lets me function pretty much all day and night with only a little bit of fatigue."

    The comment about condoms makes Dick actually blush. He looks back over his shoulder to where Rose disappeared into the shower, and then back to Caitlin. "Yeah... We should... definitely look in to that..."

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Grins " Like Michelangelo did, I looked into that it was a pretty good system of his, he'd be awake for 4 to 5 hrs and sleep in 2 hr bursts between, but to do it he had a hell of an ability to sleep on anything". Kisses him hard " I like you, I really like sex with you, but I don't like you enough to have your kids." She walks towards the work table to check something before she looks over her shoulder " YEt."

Nightwing has posed:
    "Yeah. I've gone through phases of different sleep cycles to try to find what works best for me. This is what I've gotten adapted to the best. I was doing a thing there for awhile with 4 30 minute naps in a day and that worked pretty well. This just works better," he comments, grinning at her. "I've gotten pretty used to sleeping anywhere, myself. Even gargoyles on skyscrapers. The life of a Gotham vigilante..."

    And then she kisses him again, and he melts in against her, relenting to the kiss while his hands slip around to grip her rear end and give it a firm squeeze, only letting go when she walks back towards the work table.

    "Well..." he says quietly, chuckling, "I'm really in no position to be having kids, either. I'd be a horrible father. I'm not really sure if I'll ever actually be cut out for that. I kind of accepted a long time ago that... all the normal things that people get in life aren't going to be very likely for me. Marriage, kids, a nice house and all of that. My lifestyle just... isn't a good one for that."

    He follows along behind her, though, and leans against the doorframe, tilting his head to look over her carefully. "So, I guess the real question is... what do you like me enough for?"

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Presses back " Your wrong I think you'd be a good daddy you just don't know it yet " she smiles as she leans back " I dunno lets work on boyfriend and then take it from there " She smiles " I dunno if I can even be a good girlfriend let alone have a boyfriend.. this is kinda new for me okay " she blushes .

Nightwing has posed:
    Dick isn't going to argue with her, even if he doesn't agree with her assessment of his parental qualities. He just gives a silent smile and slips his arms back around her, resting his hands against her lower stomach and holding her as she leans back against him. His face dips, pressing his lips and nose against her shoulder and just resting there as she speaks of girlfriends and boyfriends, and he can't help but grin.

    "It's alright. The thing about it is that you really shouldn't be having to put any effort into it, really," he says, nipping at her shoulder and letting his hands wander her stomach, feeling out her muscles. "When things are going to work, it's because you're just being you and it meshes well with them just being them, and the both of you want to be around each other and spend time together, so it's all just... easy and clicks."

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Looks over her shoulder and blinks " Who told you that garbage some kinda romance novel? " She laughs " A good relationship takes work from both sides. The real point is it can be like work and career " She twists sits on her bench wrapping her legs around him and pulling him close " A Job you work every day and have to force yourself.. a career you don't never notice it's like work and get up happy to go every day.. doesn't mean it takes less effort your just more willing to do it, Like you helping rose" .

    She grins " She's whole lotta work but she's worth it "

Nightwing has posed:
    "I don't know. I don't feel like it needs to be all that. If you find someone that just clicks, it all just works and is easy and comfortable. It doesn't mean that you agree with everything about them, or all of their opinions, but you accept your differences and have enough in common that you can see eye to eye," he says, shrugging his shoulders, even as he sinks in against her as she pulls him in with her legs. "I guess maybe it's just an outlook thing. I don't see any part of supporting the people I care about as work or even effort. It's just... what caring is."

    He reaches up, cupping her face in both hands, his thumbs tracing the corners of her lips though he gets a sly, mischievous glint in those icy blue eyes. Casting a quick glance in the direction of the bathroom, Dick says, "She is. She's... had it rough. She deserves better in life. I want to give her that. But that's not work for me. But that sounds like you're trying to suggest something."

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Smiles as he cups her face and she nuzzles softly caressing him lightly as she smiles and tugs him close with those long long legs. She looks to the bathroom " Wot? " She seems surprised, but right now she settles for kissing his neck and nibbling his collarbone. HE is very very hot to her, and it's hard for her to imagine when he's not looking she'll pinch herself to make sure she's not dreaming.

Nightwing has posed:
    Dick makes a soft murmuring sigh as she attends to him as she does. His flesh trembles, goosebumps rising up on it at her kiss. His head leans to the side, offering up more of his neck to her, while his arms wind themselves around her so that he can explore her back, feeling out every curve and divot of muscle and sinew. It makes him shudder with delight and he cracks his eyes open to look down at her through tangled eyelashes. "Nevermind..."

    His eyes fall closed again, and he reaches up with one hand to bury his fingers into her red hair, dragging nails over her scalp and cradling her head against his neck and collarbone.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Giggles as she licks his neck " Now let's go to the bedroom the last thing I need is Connor or Rose walking in on us " She says softly turning a little pink.

     she does one last kiss before she lets him go and stands up, but she is grabbing his wrist and walking towards the bedroom " I mean youve been up what four hrs give or take 3 hrs.. you need another nap.. doctors orders".
