Wonder Girl has posed:
Late afternoon in New York, and Cassie Sandsmark was sitting at a booth in the Gravesend Big Belly Burger, waiting. She'd been gone for a few months, but had just returned and wanted to catch up on news and information from her friends. As well as to actually, you know, see them. First things first, though, was meeting up with Tim Drake. AKA Red Robin, AKA The Teen Wonder, AKA The Guy That Usually Leads The Titans. Tim wasn't exactly late, Cassie was actually early, but there was an air of impatience as she drummed her fingers on the table while waiting. There were no Big Belly Burgers where she had been, and the blonde Titan was suffering a serious need for a BBB fix as the smell of ground beef and fried potatoes beckoned to her. Still, Cassie focused her Amazon willpower to waiting for Tim before ordering; it was only polite, after all.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake comes driving up in a rather nice car. He will walk in scanning about. He smiles. The young man looks relaxed, but he takes in the place fully as he comes in. He will start walking over to Cassie, offering the woman a hug "Cassie, it is good to see you, I have missed you."

Wonder Girl has posed:
"Hey Tim," came the cheerful reply with a smile and a casual brushing back of her hair. "Thanks for taking the time to meet. I would have done this at the Tower, but...can't get what I'm craving there." And Cassie waves to the server for their table. The young woman comes over and takes out her order pad, prompting Cassie to blurt out, "One Western Tripple Belly Buster, large fries, and a large chocolate shake." She waits for Tim to put in his order and the server to leave before taking a deep breath and sighing. "I've been wanting this every single day I've been gone..." Another deep breath, then she rolls her shoulders. "Dad wanted to spend some 'quality time' with me, or something like that. Doesn't matter that I was about to start the new semester or if you guys needed me. He's used to saying 'jump' and everyone asking 'how high?'" Again, she sighs. "And a couple months on Olympus isn't really as fantastic as you'd think. Ambrosia's nice, but you get tired of it day in and day out pretty quickly. At least, I did. So, what's been going on while I was away? Hw're you? How's everyone? Anything going on?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and says "Well mostly pretty good dealing with a few odds and ends, but doing well. Actually may have an offer for you, if your interested in it. I have sorta went on Reserves so Damian can find his place, and started my own club, even got a club house." He will smile and sits across from her. Conner and Garth both hanging with me some in it.

Wonder Girl has posed:
Uh-oh....dilema time for Wonder Girl. She hates to let down any of her friends, and here's Tim with an offer of another team outside the Titans. And she's got a full classload at NYU, possible responsibilities with the Titans, training and helping to teach fighting classes at Diana's clinics...Her plate is already full, so what else could she say?

"A new team? Hmmmm. Tell me more about it..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods and says "Going with the Outsiders name. Gar, Conner, me," He lowers his voice and says "Not sure if you met Spoiler, and then got a guy trying to help and keep on the right side of things. Kidd, he is telepathic Gorilla." He tells her so if they meet she aint surprised. Conner's girl friend maybe with us too."

Wonder Girl has posed:
Cassie blinks a bit in surprise. "Conner's got a girlfriend?" Well, that's certainly news to her. "Who is she? And what brought on the idea to make a whole new team? It can't be just to give Damian space to prove himself as a leader, right?" At least the opening Tim led with, describing himself as a 'reservist' for the Titans was encouraging in that she wouldn't have to cut ties to work with Tim in the new venture.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "Well to be honest, giving him space just to be Robin is part of it, I didn't have to worry about that when I took over, the whole Nightwing and Red hood being thought dead." He will say "But it is also hoping to help and maybe train some folks who are a bit past the teen things. I know it is Titans but how many people still think teen titans when they hear titans?" He asks her "Her name is Rose, but I will let Conner fill you in on her. Oh also you may see me with a girl in the papers, that is going to be a bit flashy so figured give ya a heads up on it."

Wonder Girl has posed:
"Figures," Cassie laments with a sigh and a smirk. "I spend a couple months with my insane family, and all the guys get girlfriends while I'm away." She gives Tim a playful wink. "So, who's your mystery girl? Is she a cape like us? Or just a normal girl that hit the jackpot? I do get your point about the age thing. I mean, I'm not really tired of 'Wonder Girl' yet, but in another 5 years....I could see me wanting to make a name change. Don't know what to, though. Guess I'll just figure it out when I'm ready to."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms a bit and seems to ponder what to say for a moment, but does say "Cape works with us, and it is more complicated than normal. More for a job than anything legit romantic." He will tell her. Do have another potential member, a mutant who is a friend of mine, but he is working on training still not sure if he is interested in groups.

Wonder Girl has posed:
"Well, it sounds like a pretty decent start," Cassie says, rather deep in thought. "Give me a couple days to think it over? Let me see how I get my life back together first?" She ponders a bit more, then smiles. "So, you got any questions for me? Anything else you think I need to be filled in on?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms, and says "Well, how ya doing, did ya have fun, those type of things of course. anything you need now to help you get back into your normal life?"

Wonder Girl has posed:
Cassie sighs and shrugs at the question of her time away. "I mean...you've read the myths. You pretty much know what that side of my family is like. Spent most of the time trying to avoid Hera. Despite his excuse of wanting to spend time with me, Dad started chasing after some nymphs like an hour after I got there. So, I mostly hung out with Artemis, Athena...a little bit with Aphrodite. Spent a lot of time watching the whole protocols and pagentry thing." Her shoulders sag and she shrugs. "I mean...I know he's trying. But Dad is...he is who he is. He sees a pretty face and any good intentions he had are gone out the window. I guess at least making the attempt to show more of a paternal interest is a good sign. And it's not like I wasn't doing fine for most of my life before he showed up..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake nods his head and says "I can sorta imagine. It has got to be different. If you need someone to talk about it with I will listen and nod and tell ya I sorta understand." He offers her a grin and says "So, anything you need now that your back in the world of us mere mortals." He teases playfully.

Wonder Girl has posed:
Cassie smiles brightly. "Nope. I've got my friends and I've got Big Belly Burgers again. I think I'm gonna be okay...."
