Where do they get all those wonderful toys?

[cityship]

The Hub spat the newly-clothed crew members out into the Weapons and Possessions Locker one by one. The place looked like a warehouse, and not a particularly well-organized one. Things were everywhere -- on the floor, stacked on top of each other, hanging off of things...

Either someone had ransacked the place, or Stacy had hired a tornado to do her filing and sorting.

She stares back.

"I'm sorry? I don't know you."

She goes back to picking through the piles, hoping to find her costume, or something familiar. Anything.

"...You don't KNOW me?" She blinks.

Part of her is really indignant about not being remembered, the rest of her sort of wants to count her blessings. However the desire to connect with someone else that should have common ground with her while she's in this strange place wins out.

"You're Cassandra Sandsmark. Wonder Girl. I was on the Teen Titans with you for months. The hell do you mean you don't remember me?"

Cassie shakes her head, even as the strange girl speaks. She picks up a small packet from the items and looks at it for a second, and then puts it down again. She steps over someone's claymore to get to another pile and starts to look through it.

"You're right. I'm Wonder Girl," she concedes, looking up for a brief second. "But I've never met you. Sorry."

She needs to find her costume. She needs to find something. Anything.

Rose practically stalks after her, pulling on her cowl.

"Yes you do! It's Rose Wilson. Ravager? We've known each other nearly a year now! Not... like we were friends or something but... Do you remember Eddie? Megan? Tim?"

[halfgoddess.livejournal.com]

She turns to look, and frowns. The cowl looks like Deathstroke's, and she shifts her hand to rest it on her lasso. Cassie doesn't want a fight, but she has no reason to either trust or distrust this "Rose".

To say the least, Cassie is stressed.

"As in Slade Wilson?" she asks. She ploughs on. "I think you're mistaken. I don't know an Eddie, or a Megan. Tim's in Blüdhaven right now, trying to help save the world... if you don't mind, I have someplace to be. I have to get out of here. "

[ravaged-rose.livejournal.com]

"As in ROSE Wilson, and you can leave Slade out of it." She growled, then grumbled under her breath. "Who DO you remember?"

Now she's kind of worried that that sedative that she'd avoided earlier was a chemical brain scrambler and she might be the only sane person with a working memory in the room.

"Look," Cassie says sharply, patience dwindling. Her eyes are tearing up already, and she looks away. "I just came from the North Pole. Before I opened my eyes here, I was holding my boyfriend as he died. Need to know anything else, Rose, or are we good there?"

She turns right away, wiping at an eye with the back of her hand, and she picks up a headband and puts it on.

Rose's mouth drops open. It takes her a second to talk, but when she does her voice is softened by surprise.

"What... Superboy? He's been dead for over a year now."

Shit. As much as she's not really fond of Cassie it's not like the girl, even at her worst, to get this upset on a ruse. She seems genuinely ignorant rather than just not wanting to deal with Rose.

Which leaves... the thought of them being ripped out of their respective places and dumped here from different TIMES on top of from different places. Pulled from Connor's side as he died? That's WAY worse than interrupted jog and Rose isn't even going to TRY to pretend otherwise.

"If that's the last thing you remember you wouldn't have met me for months. Ugh, could this place GET any weirder?"

[halfgoddess.livejournal.com]

Cassie turns back to look at Rose at that, and finds she has nothing to say about it. She couldn't possibly manage words about Kon, not now, and she just swallows the growling lump in her throat. It takes a minute to collect herself. She leans a bit against a shelving unit, shaking her head.

But Rose knows what happened. It wouldn't be the first time she's encountered people from the future.

"No," she says, quietly. "It probably couldn't."

A pause.

"Sorry."

[ravaged-rose.livejournal.com]

Rose crosses her arms over her chest and shuffles her feet a bit. Well now she just feels like a jackass.

"No, it's fine. I... shit. We didn't get along that well is all so I thought you were just... Sorry."

[halfgoddess.livejournal.com]

"You didn't know," Cassie sighs. She wants to question why they don't get along, but if Rose is this abrasive off the bat, she can imagine why.

She stops to wipe her eyes again, and then looks up, mouth set in a firm line and eyes glassy but steeled.

"For now, Titans together, right? Let's see what we can do about getting out of here and setting things right."

Rose thinks it's better not to mention the part where she's gone awol from the team for the moment.

"Sounds good to me. Might help to find out who the hell everyone else is."

[halfgoddess.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Cassie nods. "Let's do that, then."
