Thad is not impressed

[law_number_one]

Really.

That's your big plan for what to do with me while all those Titans are off fighting the Time Trapper? Homework and raiding their fridge.

Go back to the drawing board.

If you're going to raid the fridge, at least try not to eat it all in one sitting.

[Priorities, Kon has them.]

[law_number_one]

With both yourself and Bart living there as well as other so called bottomless stomachs, I'm sure there is enough food there to satisfy me and not be completely empty.

[tactilekonesis]

... I guess that'll have to do for now. Even if it's not technically me that lives there.

[law_number_one]

Yes, my universe's version of you lives here I mean.

What have you been up to?

[tactilekonesis]

Yeah, I figured as much.

[it's kind of weird, being so open with Inertia of all people, but...] I just got sent to this place called "Luministi"... and it's like one big giant mystery. If I were more into puzzles and stuff, it might've been more interesting.

[law_number_one]

[Actually asking people to be open instead of just spying on them is kind of weird for Thad.] What kind of mystery and puzzles?

[tactilekonesis]

How we got there, for starters. I just got there a few days ago, but we don't know who brought us there or what they want with us.

That, and nearly everyone there's obsessed with riddles. It's like the Riddler died and went to Puzzle Heaven.

[law_number_one]

That seems to be a common theme in places people are sent. By the sounds of things it could be an experiment with you all as the subjects.

[tactilekonesis]

Probably, but I doubt it. The place already tried the experimentation route and failed, so they went with a reality show. That also failed.

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if we shifted genres midway and decided that we were some 50's sitcom.

"It's not the fun option, but someone does have to guard the base."

[law_number_one]

"Then get that little Bat to play guard dog. I'm sure there are better uses of my time and brain power than sitting around the tower."

[middle_amazon]

"Tim is a leader, and that comes with some responsibilities."

[law_number_one]

"Not Tim. The other little Bat."

[middle_amazon]

"Which one?" Is replacing Tim, she doesn't add. "I'm afraid I'm not up on Batman's supply of Robins."

[law_number_one]

"It's not a Robin. It's that Eidolon that looks at Superboy like a lost puppy."

[middle_amazon]

"I vaguely recall that in the reports I've been getting," she murmurs. "I will point something out though, Thad. Do you have any idea how many times the Titans have been betrayed from within?"

[law_number_one]

"Ask Superboy about him," he smirks, amused by Kon having to deal with a fanboy. "I don't concern myself with random Titans Trivia like that."

[first_of_avalon]

Sorry kiddo, auxiliaries who don't show when a meeting's called and crashed by an exploding time-based baddie get Tower-watch duty. Them's the breaks.

[law_number_one]

I am not an auxiliary. I'm not even part of this team. I was just coming over to meet someone.

[first_of_avalon]

Raiding the fridge pretty much makes you an auxiliary or support staffer, I figured you'd complain less about the former.

[law_number_one]

I was under the impression that it just makes me hungry. You should be familiar with a speedster's appetite.

[first_of_avalon]

Yes, I am familiar with speeder eating habits.

You also can get past the security to get into the kitchen, you're comfortable enough with being there to snag food, and you're not there to mess with anyone. I became an auxiliary Titan on less grounds than that.

[law_number_one]

Getting past your security is child's play. I've done it before with ease. [He's just going to keep denying.] I have no reason to mess with anyone here. At least not anymore.

[first_of_avalon]

[Cocks head to the side.] Are you dating a Titan?

[law_number_one]

[And that has his cheeks going a little red.] No. [Translation: Yes.]
