Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake has invites Cassie over to his new place to show it off. It is not in the best part of Gotham, it is near crime alley.
     It seems someone is trying to bring some new blood and money into the area. The old theater has been remolded into what seems to be a large home. The building itself has large bay windows and a balcony overlooking the street on the second floor. It seems well kept from the bushes in planter boxes out front to the high tech security panel beside the door.

He is standing on the upstairs balcony watering some plants.

Wonder Girl has posed:
Gotham isn't exactly Cassie's favortie place in the world, but several of her freinds and teammates live and work here, so she's gotten used to city. Still, as used to the crime and grit as she may be, Cassie smiles a bit at the signs of recovery here. And considering that Tim bought his current living space here, she has no doubt who the silent benefactor of the neighborhood might be.

Dressed in her civilian clothing, Cassie goes up to the building and rings the buzzer for Tim's place; keeping a low profile is part of his identity, so Cassie doesn't just fly into the top area in full Wonder Girl regalia.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will pull out a remote and pushes a button "Come on in." He will come through his bedroom, and down the stairs to the first floor.
     This is a very large home done in an open layout. The entryway has nooks set to each side where people can sit by the bay windows if they wish to look out There is stairs leading up to a second story near the area that is set up as the main ? sunken living room? A large comfortable couch along with other comfortable seating are in front of a large book case, with a mini bar area nearby and an upright player piano. One wall is half covered by a fish tank that has live coral in it along with a nice selection of fish. Beside the aquarium is a door leading to a small hallway with a spare bedroom, bath and coat closet off it. Near the back of the house if a full kitchen that seems to have been designed with a master chef in mind, all the bells and whistles for cooking most any type of meal. The walls are decorated with pictures of friends and works of art, a nice mixture of homey and classy. The upstairs is mostly done as a balcony around the main living are with rooms leading off it all around. These rooms range from the master bedroom, spare bedrooms, and the library.
     He will come over to meet her offering a hug "Hey glad you can make it, things getting back to normal?"

Wonder Girl has posed:
Cassie smiles and returns the hug. "Pretty much," she answers. "Getting back to life with the Titans, school, catching up with friends...all that stuff." She looks around the space, rather impressed with the new digs. "Nice...Not quite as much space as a mansion, but still..." She looks back at Tim, continuing her smile. "It's definately 'you'. And I'm guessing that you've bought just about the entire block for the underground headquarters? And helping out the neighborhood, too."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake chuckles a bit and says "Well, enough to make sure we should have no problems there." He will lead her over towards the fish tank, and slides a hand behind it saying Open sesame." and the wall slides aside. He leads her down a stairway T he Robin's Roost was originally built for the use of Red Robin, but has been enlarge to work as head quarters for the team of heroes known at the Outsiders It is a multi-level base of operations with a larger center shaft open in the center somewhat like an old underground missile silo.
     The top most level is set aside with rooms for people to crash if they need to. Some of the rooms are taken with name plates on them and some still free to be claimed. The is a section here set off as a rec room with TVs, games and a bank of PC type computers.
     The next level is set up with labs and scientific type of rooms, from the forensics computer lab, to the main computer room with it's vast view screens, and multiple computer systems. There is also a chemistry lab, as well as a couple rooms waiting to be set up as needed.
     The bottom level of the roost is the largest. From the vehicle bay that houses both the Redbird and his motorcycle, but also has room for two more cars and six or so more bikes before it starts to get crowded. It has all the equipment needed to for upkeep and maintenance on them. There is also a manufacturing area with 3d printers, machines to work metal, plastics, even wood and ceramics. The last of the bottom floor is taken up by a large gymnasium. It has everything one could want to work out in from standard work out equipment, to some set up specifically to deal with enhanced abilities. There is even room for practicing fighting and off to one side a target range that can be used for a vast array of ranged attacks.
     Through out the whole area there are plants set up to lessen the feel of an underground bunker, and give it a bit less sterile feeling. There are multiple exits from the base besides the one through the house above it. Tunnels leading out in different directions some big enough for vehicles some more normal sized hallways. These tunnels lead to hidden exits over a large area, most within a three block radius but a couple much farther out to hide the coming and going of the heroes.
     "I have rooms set aside so people can stay here if they want or need to. And of course if ya need a place to stay I have a few extra bedrooms upstairs.

Wonder Girl has posed:
Cassie nods as she looks around the underground space. It is impressive, moreso that it was done quickly and quietly. "It's good to have options," she admits when the talk turns to housing. "But, I think I'm still going to be staying with the Titans, and working with the Outsiders on a sort of 'reserve' basis." She gives Tim a semi-apologetic smile. "Both are my friends and family, I just think the Titans need me a bit more. Not a knock against Damian, just..." She takes a deep breath. "He can probably use a buffer. Especially with the team training. I think I can help him there." Titans, Outsiders, Amazons...Cassie is certainly loading up her plate with activities.

"So, who else is in on this team? I think you said Conner is in. Oh! And that girl you were working with?" She gives Tim a sly, teasing smile. "How did all that work out?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and says "She is doing well, she just got a bit of an upgrade. I will let her bring that out and show people. So, Conner, her, Beast Boy, and then Black Cannery for helping training folks who might need it. Then two you have not met I don't think. Kidd, he is a telepathic Gorilla, and Cypher who is a mutant with a bit extra, computer, and languages are his specialty. Offering Conner's girl a spot or at least reserve status if she is interested.

Superboy has posed:
And speaking of the devil, Conner chose this moment to accept Tim's invitation to visit his new digs. He didn't even bother messaging. Well, he was going to, but his cell is out of batteries. He will blame the Mad Hatter for that one.

"We also had Arsenal helping, but that guy had to go due to personal stuff," comments Conner, who has been hearing the last minute of conversation or so.

"Hey Tim," he greets, patting the shorter young man's shoulder. "And Cassie! It has been a month, we were supposed to be in touch!" Hug for Cassie, if she lets him.

Wonder Girl has posed:
"I look forward to meeting all the others," Cassie says in her usual, upbeat tone. "What's the focus of the group going to be? Something specific, or another team fighting in general for truth, justice, and all that?" She looks over at the vehicle bay, wondering about maybe getting a motorcycle of her own, even though she can fly on her own power...

Conner arrives, and Cassie greats him with a hug. "I know," she laments. "But when your dad is the king of the Gods and says he wants to spend time with you...you don't exactly get a say in the matter." She stands back and looks Conner over. "You look good..." And her smile turns a bit teasing. "And Tim says you've got a girlfriend now?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake smiles and says "Well, I am hoping to help train a few folks perhaps that might not really fit with the titans, and also, we can get in and do some things that the Justice League can't or pick up some of the slack if they end up having to go off planet. " He smirks and says "Plus I want to work with my friends, and Damian needs a chance to spread his wings."

Superboy has posed:
"Heh, let me tell you about godlike parental units," replies Conner with a faint smirk. "Not that Kal pushes me around much, but he is uh... he is there. Like THERE. You know."

"Anyway. Yes, I have been seeing a girl for a while," he admits. "I had not been steady with anyone since Tana Moon, but this time it is working. She is a bit... rough, though. But also awesome. So maybe she just needs some hero friends to become one."

Wonder Girl has posed:
Cassie laughs at COnner and shakes her head. "Well, at least Kal doesn't semand you spend time with thim, then proceeds to spend most of that time chasing nymphs...Sometimes, I swear that when Athena burst out of dad's forehead, she took all his common sense with her." Cassie giggles a bit, then takes a breath to recover.

"And it's not like we're not used to friends with rough edges," Cassie continues on. "Just bring her by and we can all get to know each other."

She nods to Tim's statement of purpose for the Outsiders. "And that's all fine. The world can use more organized groups doing good things, big or small, flashy or quiet."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks to the two, and smirks and and says "Yea, I am lucky, I don't know anything about having a brooding demanding father figure around." He grins and says "At least you don't have Damian as a kid brother. Looks like he gave some mutant turtles his real name.

Superboy has posed:
"Oh yeah, I guess that is why we went around calling ourselves Young Justice, back then," points out Conner. "It was all the old guys fault," he nods sagely. "As for this team, I gotta admit we should hang out more often. But other business kept interfering. Or maybe we are all old and busy now. Well, not Rob. He has always been old and busy. He was born that way."

Wonder Girl has posed:
"Says the eternal teenager..." Cassie replies to Conner, smiling. "I guess it's just adulthood, though," she adds with a wistful sigh. "Other priorities start to arise. New relationships. New responsibilities. We may have less time for each other now, but we're still there when we need each other. That's what's impotant."

Pausing a moment afterwards, Cassie gets back into happy mode. "So! Tim, when is there going to be a full group meeting? So that we can all meet each other and start getting to know everyone?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "Well, I just got the place set up, but hoping to in the next couple weeks. So you both know Kidd is a bit of a project, he has a bit ummmm... criminal tendencies at time, trying to help direct him more into the good guys side. Not quite Red hood level, but a bit of petty criminal at times."

Superboy has posed:
"I have met kid, yes," admits Conner. Although he doesn't know him very well, but Conner would agree with Tim's assessment. "Gar, Beast Boy, is great, though. And I am looking forward to meet the Canary. I have heard quite a bit about her." Tim mentioned someone called Cypher too. But he must be new.

"Anyway, a team meeting sounds like a good idea. I will bring the pizzas. Gar will eat them, unless forcibly restrained. As usual," he grins.

Wonder Girl has posed:
"Everything will work out fine," Cassie says, nothing but confidence in her expression. "Just let me know when, and I;ll be here. Other than just being a part of the team, what else are you going to need from me to help make this work? I'm more than happy to do the 'role model/confident/sister' thing with the members that need it; that's no problem at all. You need me to pull monitor duty? Help with training? Stuff like that?"

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, ":looks to the two and says "Well you two are the main big guns, Steph may want to talk to you about some amazon training if your willing to teach her. Hmmms in fact Kestrel may want to as well. Role Models are always handy. I got monitor duty handled sorta outsourced so we should be good there."

Wonder Girl has posed:
"I can probably manage some of the Amazon fight training," Cassie agrees with a nod. "There's not going to be a problem with teaching it to other women; I already do that at some of Diana's shelters. I need to check with her on how she feels about teaching it to guys, as well. I mean, I totaly understand the point, but if part of our mission is to spread the Amazon ideals to help the world, it seems to me that men need to be a part of that teaching effort as well." Cassie smiles and shrugs. "And this is about the time where Artemis would hit me over the head with a staff. Very hard."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "Kestel is a girl too. I was keeping the training to women on that one that would be how they would want it, and to be honest, didn't know if there might be something special about it that made it not work for a guy. I have been training Cypher in hand to hand, he has some interesting abilities that helps him with it."

Superboy has posed:
"Who is Kestrel?" pipes in Conner. "Also... wouldn't it better if Canary does that kind of training. I mean, everyone says she is one of the best fighters of the whole world. I was looking forward to see what Ravage does when she meets her."

He glances at Cassie. "No offense to Amazon training. I am sure you have improved a lot, but I still remember that black wig..."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake says, "Kestel is second nest addition to the bat family, she has a lot of martial arts training all ready. Will have to introduce you to her. Sure Canary will train, probably all of us when she is around but I think she might be around the least to be honest. " He grins at the two, as it feels good to have them both back around."

Wonder Girl has posed:
Cassie gives Conner a slight glare. "Yeah, not to mention a couple years training with Diana and the Amazons...remind me to show you the armor and weapons that I earned." Her lips remain slightly tight; she's not the meek, wide eyed Wonder Girl of old, that's for certain.

"Anyways," the happy smile returning to Cassie's face, "I need to get back to New York. But this is a fantastic idea Tim, and I'm really excited about all of this!" She gives both Tim and Conner a hug. "Let me know when there's a meeting or just a get-together to meet the others."
