trans_9 | The Outsiders: Meeting 2

It was going to be their second meeting, and she already had an idea from Beastboy that he'd drummed up some interest in some the newly pod popped. So she'd been making alterations to the Outsider headquarters all day, from checking out the intercom and monitors Billy fixed (she needed Alex's help for that) to helping to set the new carpet in the lobby to preparing the pool for the training session. It was absolutely important that today grow well: she was going to tell the group she was trying to petition Leon to get them more involved in missions. Even if he said no, there were chances that they as individuals would be pulled into some dangerous situation and then all that training WOULD come in handy, wouldn't it? Either way the training would be coming in handy, as would meeting the people that would come to the second meeting. In a way, the second meeting was more important than the first: the second told you who was staying, who hadn't just popped in for the snacks and a few laughs. She still had those of course: chips and dip and a few sandwiches were already set up for people who were hungry.

As for her, all of this work had already made her really sweaty and stinky, so she was taking a dip in the pool to clean herself off, careful to only do so in the shallow part of the water reserved for small kids: once she was good and clean, she would flush that water out, and fill it with clean water again. For now, she wanted to make sure everything went perfectly. Of course, she was also nude for this, so she figured if Beastboy dropped in now, she'd have to dry off pretty quickly.

So far though: room were all clean, conference room was a-okay and the lobby was spotless. For the moment she could relax. She'd be ready in a few minutes.

Yes, she guessed she should have expected Beastboy MIGHT pop in early she just hadn't expected him a)so soon or b)to the swimming area. So once she heard the "COWABUNGA" she shrieked, going for a towel immediately. By the time he looked, Katara had the towel up to her chest, turning pretty red.

Yes, she could have yelled at him, but she was the one naked, not him, and he had no idea this was how she bathed back home to begin with. She laughed awkwardly, shaking her head.

"I should have figured you might be early," she said, shaking her head. "I've been here all day, so I figured I should have a clean dip. I'll put up a sign next time!"

Beastboy shifted back cheeks bright red, "H-heh yeah I hear ya...I uh...so..." He laughed nervously, "Well if it helps I'm naked most the time whenerver I turn into an animal if you think about it?"

"That's not even close to the same!" Katara said hotly, smiling in spite of herself. It was one of Beastboy's talents: making you laugh even when you were trying to be angry with him. She wrapped another towel around her head, deliberately making sure the other towel was wrapped tight.

"But at least you're on time. I wanted to talk to you a bit about what we;re going to say, and how we're going to run the training tonight."

"S-sure!" He stammered working very hard on keeping his eyes on hers when instinct and desire was begging him to try and sneak one more peek. Katara was of coarse a very attractive girl and way cool in Beastboy's book, "What did you have in mind?"

Katara narrowed her eyes and whapped Beastboy lightly on the head.

"Eyes front, Beastboy," she said indignantly, but softened at the next question. "We have to let them know how important it is to be in a part of the team. We're having new members joining, and I want them to understand that EVERYONE is accepted, as long as they act as a family and help each other. The tricky part will be training. I asked Vita to help you there: she's bound to have a different experience in fighting, and that way you'll get to learn a bit about each other as well as helping the others work together. Its likely you'll need the Sensoriums for that. I'll be here with any of the guys that want to take the beginner's course: that way they have an idea of the basics in a fight: stances, shifting weight in battle, that sort of thing. The last training will be with Overlord Zetta: it'll likely be the hardest and I'm hoping people from intermediate will try this session."

She paused. "You being yourself has really helped me with the Outsiders Beastboy, I just want you to know that without you this would be much harder. I definitely am grateful for all you've done. Thanks for stepping up."

"H-hey hey easy." He laughed at being whapped, "It's hard to take my eyes off the pretty girl!"

Moving right on from the inadvertent flirting, "And some of them just won't really wanna you know? Fight. I mean it's not everyone's strength but we can like come up with teamwork excersizes that don't involve combat too!"

He blushed a little at her compliment "A-ah well heh, I'm just glad I could help. I mean I'm not really, it's no big deal." He stammered and stumbled.

Katara flushed a little at that, but still looked stubborn. "You can manage, trust me. Now turn so I can go and dry off."

She continues on. "No, I know that. By the end of the meeting we'll find out who's interested in what and go from there. I'll admit that tech's not my thing, and probably not yours either, so maybe Alex will want to help with that. This second meeting is basically to plan what we do with the rest of the meeting from here on out: our fun time and our work. Either way, we're all helping each other!"

She grinned, putting on her underclothes and lightly patting his shoulder. "It's good to have someone to help me with this. How's Starfire, by the way?"

Beastboy turned with one last embarrassed laugh "You got it, and next time I'll knock." There was a pause, "You know there are regular bath tubs though right?"

Once she gave him a pat he turned back around making to climb out of the pool, "This should work out great, our team's gonna be so cool and fun the adults will all be jealous. We'll show them what we're really made of!"

Unfortunately for Beastboy as he climbed out of the pool his trunks had slid off and he hadn't noticed...well what goes around comes around it seemed.

She nodded, and at the last minute ducked her head a little. "Yeah, I know. I guess its one of those things I used to do on my world that I haven't let go of yet. I know it sounds weird, but I feel freer that way, like I'm back home again."

She smiled. "I agree! Between the two of us and all of them, I'm sure we'll be able to be better prepared for the things to come. It's just going to take getting to know each other, understanding our differences and working toge-"

And theeeeen she looks straight in his direction just as his trunks fell off. and there is an almost paused ten second stare before Katara turns, feeling as if she could be a firebender with all the heat her body generated.

"Together?" Beastboy supplied helpfully before feeling a slight draft.

With a yelp he shape shifted into frog form diving back into the pool to retrieve his suit, only surfacing when it was back on, his face practically glowing red.

"Um...I'm totally cool never mentioning this ever again if you're cool with it." He mumble sheepishly.

AFter having a moment to recover, Katara had no choice but to laugh. It wasn't at Beastboy's expense (or at anything she's een, if he was wondering), but because of the situation itself. By the time he's come up, Katara has dried off and is starting to get her norrmal clothes on.

"I think we both just fell into som bad situations," Katara said, "though you'd think I'd know better after what happened before. Too many weird things happen with my clothes."

It was true: Negi could attest to that.

"Sounds like a story to me! Tell me and I'll tell you about the time Starfire and I were hypnotized by our clothes and the rest of the team had to strip us naked in the middle of the city to save us from ourselves." He climbed out of the pool this time holding onto his shorts.

She chuckled to herself. "So I'm helping Haku get his river all made up, and my friend, Negi Springfield, decides to lend a hand. Noe I don't know if you know much about Negi, but he is a wizard. Anyway, we're working when suddenly he sneezes: innocent enough, right? Wrong. All my clothes come flying off, and the top it off he fall on each other RIGHT when a friend of his happens to stop by. I swear, I couldn't have felt more awkward. At least I KNOW you."

She grinned. "I think you can let go of the shorts now, Beastboy."
