on picking a different canon point and her mun looking at capeandcowl + a couple more

[demigoddess]

I'm all for this new canon point, it's just the being "ripped from my home and taken to a different world, dimension, city, or whatever" that's making me question your decision making skills. I mean, you want me to feel confident as leader, then take me away from the team? Do you have any idea how that's going to make adjusting to a new place? [ She's not waiting for an answer. ] Of course not. But what's my life compared to your entertainment?

[ Her life is full of excitement already, that's all she's saying. ]

[Here! Have a cheerful, smiley martian girl. At least at first; she makes the transition from curious and bright eyed to confused and unnerved pretty quick.]

I...I'm not sure I fully understand that either. It's good to be on a team, and fun.

[More fun then being a solo hero, point of fact!]

Why would anyone want to remove you from that?

[demigoddess]

[ Cassie will figure out that this smiley martian is not the Megan she knows soon enough, otherwise there is a problem. ]

That's a good question, Megan. [ She crosses her arms before answering. ] My Mun tells me not to worry, that I can form a new team. Because doing that is so easy. [ It's not. Sigh. ]

If she can't even think about things like that, I don't want her to be the one behind the wheel. She probably doesn't even care, which is even worse.

[ Before she goes on any more she takes a deep breath and smile. ]

And what about you, Megan? Does your mun have plans for you? Or are you already stuck somewhere.

[littlewhitelies]

[Hearing her name (multiple times at that!) earns Cassie a surprised blink and a double take.]

I'm...Sorry, but have we met?

[Oh H'ronmeer, there's someone who knows her name and she can't recognize her. And this person seems nice and friendly, and not being able to place a name to go with that face is THE WORST POSSIBLE THING.

...Well, perhaps not worst possible thing, but it still ranks up there. Thankfully, there are ways of fixing this!]

I mean, yes, my name is Megan. But I'm not sure I recognize you. Maybe you could remind me?

[Maybe? Possibly? Nervous-please-let-this-be-the-right-way-of-reintroducing-yourself-without-using-telepathy smile?]

Oh, and mine says that she's honestly not sure what her plans are yet; just that she has some sort of itch that she keeps trying to scratch.

[Quick break for one more blink.]

I'm not really sure I understand her very well, either.

[demigoddess]

[ Cassie's a little surprised if only because the only "other" Megan she's encountered was all about embracing her heritage and then some. Not like her Megan, not like this Megan either, she's guessing. ]

Different universes I guess. [ She can't get used to saying that. ] Not that I could tell the difference until you said something. [ Cassie smiles warmly. ]

Waiting for them to figure out their plans is the worst part. It must be especially frustrating for you. [ Not that Miss Martian would peer into the mind of anyone who is innocent. But muns? They definitely don't qualify as innocent. ]

[littlewhitelies]

[What? What's all this about not embracing racial heritage? She's CLEARLY very green, and prominently displaying it! Nothing to be ashamed of here! Still, that alternate universe explanation makes a lot of that nervousness seep straight out.]

Oh! Well, in that case it's nice to meet you, again!

[That implication that there's another Megan out there is an interesting one, but first things first.]

So...What's your name?

[And is handshaking the right thing to do here? Because her hands seem more determined to stay stuck and clasped behind her back.]

Yeah, a bit. But I'm going to be patient! It sounds like she's going to try putting something up on the next app_this_plz. And she keeps looking at capeandcowl as well.

[demigoddess]

I'm Cassie. [ She doesn't offer Megan her hand, but she's smiling brightly. ] It's nice to meet you too. And hey, it would be cool if our muns ended up sending us to the same place.

[longbowhunter]

If it makes you feel any better, sweetheart, they seem to like taking us from the absolute worst parts of our lives.

[demigoddess]

[ Oh, it does. ]

And here I thought these people were supposed to like us.

[longbowhunter]

There's a fine line between love and hate. At least, that's what they keep telling me.

[demigoddess]

That's comforting.

I guess it's not all bad though. A couple of my teammates are already there, not to mention Diana and Donna. [ Cassie's voting capeandcowl. ]

[hexappeal]

Bright side, you won't be alone?

[demigoddess]

Yeah, that's a good point. If my mun does go through with this, I'll be thankful for that. It'll be nice to spend more time with Diana and Donna too. Everyone really.

[hexappeal]

You can come crash with me, Diana, the kid emperor, the robot, and the overweight cat. If you want.

[demigoddess]

Sure you have the room another?

[hexappeal]

It's a pretty big house outside of the City. And I might have cheated and used magic to make it a touch bigger on the inside.

I think Diana would be beyond ecstatic to have you around.

[demigoddess]

It does sound like it could be a lot of fun. And it will definitely make adjusting a lot easier. [ It feels like it's been forever since Cassie got to spend a lot of time with Diana. And Zatana's cool, even cooler now.

Maybe it won't be so bad. ]

[hexappeal]

There's the occasional crazy, but it's usually a bit quieter than back home. It's kind of nice like that, getting a bit of a breather, you know?

Anyway, don't let me keep you. Just know that everyone will be glad to see you.

[demigoddess]

Consider me sold. [ Not that she can't get away without feeling guilty. ] Though I'm starting to think this sounds too good to be true.

[hexappeal]

Well, when it's bad it can be... pretty bad. [But it's easy to avoid those sort of plots, if you really aren't feeling them.] You'll just have to see for yourself, though!

[demigoddess]

Thanks, Zatanna. [ She really feels a lot better. ]
