He had to admit that he liked her. She was in good shape so she must train and she didn't talk all day about nothing, like most girls. Actually, she hardly talked at all.
"Yeah, there are training facilities. I think there's a gym or something in one of the buildings and there's a track and practice fields outside. We're gonna change and go for a run down at the track. You, uhm..well.. if you want...way don't we meet downstairs and you can check it out with us. Okay?"
Why am I getting all nervous, it's just some super hero girl we're gonna train with. What's wrong with me?
TITAN campus, 12:17pm, Oct 29th 2004. the Residency
As Robin and Superboy in their respected rooms are finishing up unpacking there are a knock on his door. Standing outside his door is the young Bart Allen, you think called Impulse. He is scratching his head a looks a bit nervous. He says "Ah…hi…ah got a second?" He says to both, zipping back and forth between the two room… "Wondering if I could talk to the two of you… private like…"
Once you all assemble in Tim's room, that young man seems to pace back and forth for a second and says "So… ah what do you guys know about… like LexCorp? I was just ah… wondering…"

That someone in this very loud and so far very useless place could make a suggestion with sense is very surprising to her. She thinks a moment, seeing herslef running with these two, calculating how much more effective it is to train with partner than alone. "Fifteen minutes."
With that she turns away to head for her room.
Once she finds her room Cassandra starts to put her clothes out of the bag. All is neatly folded and very practical staff. She takes one black package and puts it under the rest. Unlike Robin she doesn't even take time to take a second look at the costume before the package is stuffed under the rest of her clothes. Only her belt and razorwings get special consideration, she allways has those with her. They are on the table right beside her bed. Once finished she throws herself on it and takes five minutes to relax from the journey and think about this place. It is just a confused jumble of images so far and she tries to remember the names of the faces she saw. But the words just won't come.

Impluse looks at his feet and seems to struggle with his words "Oh, you know, just wondering... I mean I have heard a few... well not so nice about the company VP... ah Lex Luther I think..."
"C'mon, Don. We got fifteen minutes to find our rooms and get downstairs."
Once he found his room, Hank threw his bags on the bed and dug through one of them for some workout clothes. He put on some cut-off sweats and an old t-shirt with the neck ripped open. Nothing fancy, just something comfortable to work out in. He filled up a sports bottle and began to leave the room. Then he stopped and removed an American flag from his bag. He unfolded it and hung it on the wall near his bed. Satisfied that his room was complete he headed down the hall to find Don.
"I guess that answers my question...Powers then! Let's see, it looks like Terra wants to be her team's Captain, and with 5 members on her team that would leave us with me, Argent, Wonder Girl, Risk, and Beast Boy on ours..." He smiles with an evil gleam in his eye. "Sounds fair! Game on!!"
Roy then runs for the ball.
[OOC: If any 'elementals' get in his way Roy will try to out juke them, and make run the wrong way. Bluff +8, Acrobatics +10 might be applicable]
[OOC: Not what Tara had in mind... She was thinking that each team could have a couple of "her" players. However, after hearing that challenge Terra wouldn't for a second pretend that wasn't EXACTLY what she had in mind... ]
"Arrowhead, you ain't got nothing on TEAM TERRA!!"
and with a thought Terra gives her team life as they amble onto the court, not revealing their true agility just yet... Each the size of an average NBA player the sod and dirt men "crack" knuckles and jog in place setting up around Terra's defending hoop with Terra taking the Center position on the team at the center of their square....
Barely able to see the 5'2", 100 lb blonde girl in the mix - Team Terra is ready be on defense.
ACTION: Terra ready's her actions for Arsenal's team to "attack" the basket... her action will be: For GM EYES ONLY...
the 4 Animated Earth Elementals would be "weighted" for Dex and Strength as basketball type players - they're PL2s, I don't know how you want to handle their numbers... I'm cool if you make up their stats. Obviously they'll be the best players she can make... They should have individual actions as minions now...
Terra's half action to "defend" will be to wait for her Elemental's to attack to defend - but she'll always keep ONE half action as her last defense... that last defense will be to RAISE the basketball hoop!!! outside courts are always built from a big pole in the ground... Terra will make the hoop LOTS higher if anyone gets close to making a basket. Going from 10' normal height up to as much as 45' (her power rank 9 range).
She'll do this at the very last second to embarass/surprise them as much as possible. otherwise her move action she'll start running to the other end of the court... when one of her players "rebounds" she'll have them throw her the ball and ride a wave to the hoop to drop it in for POINTS...
I love Terra...

Beast Boy laughs and starts running around the elementals "Freaking wicked... make em do something!"
Cassie stands off to the sideline, letting Tara and Roy go 'one-on-one'. She cheers Tara on, whirling one hand above her while calling out, "Go Tara! You can take him! Show’im what you’ve got!" She claps and continues to cheer Tara on as they start to go at it.
"Just watch Green, just watch!!..."
Tara looks to Cassie and nods her head up with a sign of friendship then she winks to give Cassie the idea that she doesn't plan on losing! "Okay guys... LET'S ROCK!!"
"Lex Luthor is a rich, powerful man, and like many people, he has his own ideas about what is right. Unlike many people, he has the means to move his agendas forward," Superboy replies to Impulse's question. "Superman and Luthor have a very checkered past, to say the least. LexCorp's involvement in TITAN doesn't make me feel safer, if that's what you want to know."
here is what I make them, based off the PL1 sample construct…they have "limited' intelligence, to act as individual mooks…
STR: 16, DEX 16, CON n/a, INT 6, WIS 10, CHA 1
Hardness: 5
Attack Bonus: melee +4, range +4
Defense: 14/flat 11
Saving Throws: Damage +5, Fort n/a, Reflex +3, Will +0
Powers: Growth +1 (immovability, protection, super-strength), Leap +1
For all… Round One- Arsenal vs. the rock men and Terra (No one is flat-footed and have readied actions, Arsenal at one side, the rock men and Terra the other…
27 - Arsenal
15 - Terra
14 - Rock Players
Bouncing the basketball, Arsenal moves forward, doing a little tumble and rolls (acrobatic fighting defensively) to about the halfway point and bluffs the rock men… Acrobatics 6 +10 =16, Bluff 10 +10=20 vs. Rock Men sense motive 13, 7, 1, 3, Terra 13 -1 =12
Terra orders the rock men forward, delaying her action…
The rock men spilt into two groups, two moving towards Arsenal, two moving to defense the basketball hoop… the rock men advancing seem confused by Arsenals movements and are flat-footed. One tries a knock the ball out of Arsenal's hands, while the other tries to block him from getting by… To 'steal' the ball, melee attack roll, vs. Defense and if you succeed, Contest Dex vs. Dex. Blocking allows foils attempts of the ball carrier to get by you this round. Bluff and/or Acrobatics to get back (as they are flat-footed no roll, otherwise Acrobatics roll of 15 to move around them, 25 move through their area). Attack roll of Rock man 21 a miss (as Arsenal is defensive)
Round 2
27 -Arsenal
15 - Terra
14 - Rock Players
Arsenal does some fancy footwork and maneuvers past the rock man… Acrobatics 8 +10 =18 to move around
…easily making it and moves another 30ft closer to the net (half-action). He dodges and bops around the defenders there… Bluff (half-action) 8 +10 =18, vs. Rock men behind him 14, 12, vs. by the net 16, 12, vs. Terra 17 -1 =16, Terra makes it!
Terra orders the rock men around again, but readies her action this round…
The two rock men advance forward, one again tries to block (but gets confused as which way Arsenal is going) and one tries to get the ball again… Attack roll 2 +6 =8 misses
…the last two move around to protect the net again…
Round 3
27 -Arsenal
15 - Terra
14 - Rock Players
Arsenal dodge, bobs and weaves around a bit to try and fake the rock men again, and shots for the rim… Attack roll 14 +11 =25, would make it, BUT…
…and the basketball flies perfectly towards a rim shot when!
Terra's readied action, she raises her hand mockingly… Going to make this a DEX vs. DEX to see if she times it right, Arsenal's 10+4, vs. Terra's 14 +2 =16
…the basketball net shots 45ft into the air on a column of rock. The ball falls back out of bounds.
...Robin...Nightwing...
those two are easy, she knew heir faces before she met them.
...Starfire...
roommate, another one she can remember.
...the crying girl, whatever her name was...
she didn't even ask who Raven is then she screamed just a few minutes before.
...Hawk...
that one reminds her that she has an appointment. She leaps up and gets some training clothes. Hurrying down she will wait for Hawk and Dove, watching the game outside from a window. She shows no expression and just stares at the playing kids in silence while she waits.
