Newbie Meet N' Greet

[cityship]

Meet n' Greet, smell my feet, gimme something good to eat! Unfortunately, the newbie meet and greet takes place the same time the command staff is congregating, so they might be a little late to the party.

But the crew is there to welcome the newcomers and explain their situation. At the end of the milling and spilling about, the command staff is going to start a general meeting to apprise everyone of their situation and discuss their next course of action:

Getting off the damn ship.

"It's.. just life you know. You're so busy with the hero stuff. We just don't see each other anymore." She wasn't going to even try to explain the time differences, or that she had just went to his funeral not long ago. Instead she'd lie and lie until Tim or Cassie, or heck even Conner ratted out the truth. "But you know, that doesn't matter. We can make up for lost time."

It didn't entirely make sense, but Bart just shrugged and grinned back. "Sure thing, Cissie! I've got time to spare. Since for me, a minute takes forever. Though I guess I should try and be slow so you can make up the time too, huh?"

She laughed softly and smiled. "That would mean a lot to me Bart." She places a kiss to his cheek and looks around. "Well I know Tim's not going to be here, but I figured the others would be around by now."

Bart rapidly flipped through all the people he knew named Tim and couldn't think of any that Cissie knew. She's met a bunch of his classmates, and maybe Tim was one of them but she was talking like it was someone he was supposed to know. He nodded at the rest. "I think I saw SB distracted by some girl like always. Uh, who's Tim again?"

Cissie's eyes widened and she quickly covered her mouth. "Oh my god... you.." She shook her head and frowned. "I didn't think you were... oh my god Bart..." She didn't want to say any more but knew someone had to tell him. "Tim's.. Robin. It's his real name."

Bart stared at her shocked for an entire five seconds. "Really?" he said, all but whispering. "How'd you find out? Is Batman gonna get mad we know?"

She shakes her head and smiles gently. "I don't think so. Tim told us all because Greta kinda went nuts. She got better though."

"So everyone's okay?" Bart grinned. "And we know Rob-- Tim's name! That's so cool!" He laughed and bounced up and down on his feet. "Where is R-- Tim anyway?"

Cissie wanted to laugh, but really she could just smile. "He's actually.. um... well in jail. It's a bit of a complicated thing and it deals with this alien thing that hurt someone. So people wanted it killed, and others just wanted it out of the way. And somewhere along the lines Robin got himself involved and.. I kinda lost it at that point." She shook her head and frowned.

Bart nodded. "So we'll spring him, right? Figure between me and Kon we can deal with any jail."

"Why don't we hold off on any jailbreaks. Wouldn't want to get you into serious trouble with the head of security. I've heard he's already not to keen on teen heroes. I'd hate to see what he thinks to a few of us busting into the jail." She smiles a bit. Reminded of when Greta and Slobo went to break her dad out of jail. Hadn't everyone said no then? Oh well. Bart was just being Bart. Wanting to help his friend. It was cute, and man did Cissie miss this.

"But he's been framed, right?" Bart looked up at her and frowned. "Or something? He's Robin. He yells at me and Superboy for screwing up. He's not a bad guy. Why's he in jail?"
