Team: TITAN, the Class, Issue #1, Part 2

Hawk (Hank Hall)

"Yeah, like Don was saying. He thinks he's Thor. And he acts like Thor, with his powers and everything. But no one believes he's Thor." Hank sat back in his chair, enjoying the conversation at the table. "I wouldn't too much about Roy. I figure if this is his bash, he's gotta have a great costume in mind, right?"

"Hey, if any of you want them, I've got the Ultimates comics in my room. Very intense stuff, very cool. I think Don's got that fancy hardcover, too." Hank leaned closer to his brother and in a quieter tone asked, "You ready to show me how to do the computer thing?"

Dove (Don Hall)

"Hey, if any of you want them, I've got the Ultimates comics in my room. Very intense stuff, very cool. I think Don's got that fancy hardcover, too." Hank leaned closer to his brother and in a quieter tone asked, "You ready to show me how to do the computer thing?"

"Yeah, sure, whenever you're ready. I can get you started on it. I think I got an hour or so before I head back to see Dr. Charles." Don got up and lifted his tray. Looking to Garth and Victor, Don said, "We'll catch up with you soon, guys, okay?"
 

Garfield Logan, some #/5HP, unhurt

"What do you want?"

Leaping off of Impulse's head Garfield resumes his natural form as a small green boy. Smiling over at Cass "I was hoping you wouldn't mind helping me out. You fight really good. Good enough to get into super school with no powers, anyway. I was hoping you wouldn't mind showing me how to fight better. Cause THIS!, Hya, isn't really gonna do it." Garfield's eyes kind of keep to the ground most of time until his little joke at the end when he makes the Bruce Lee Pose and starts humming "Kung Fu Fighting".

She doesn't stop her attacks but she doesn't need to just to concentrate. This is strange. Cassandra never thought about her combat training. It's just what she does, even her most early memories are about it. She also has no idea how to explain it to someone else.
Can they even learn it, they are so old allready?
In the end she takes a break to take a closer look at Beast Boy, studying him like some article on display.

[...]"I'll bet there's something on campus here that creates costumes."[...]
"You keep outsmarting me, man."
Don said:
[...]"We'll catch up with you soon, guys, okay?"[...]
"Got it. I'll be setting up the sound system if you need me." As Don and Hank leave, Victor finishes his burger and heads off to set up said speakers. "Be cathing up with ya, Garth." Now let's see, one speaker in each corner for surround-effect. Player and amplifier over there to get those out of the way...
 

Beast Boy, 5/5 HP, Unhurt

Beast Boy squirms at the sudden inspection. It is weird not having your jokes not getting laughs. It is weird when someone suddenly puts you under a microscope. It is weird when you are a 15 year old boy and a cute girl is standing right in front of you.

She knows that she is not qualified as a teacher. She knows that even if she would be her skills are nothing that should be taught to a kid. She knows that Nightwing will not be happy at all if she even so much as touches another student again.
But...
"That won't do."
Her hands snap forward and she gently pulls Beast Boys hands into new positions, bringing him close to some semblance of a real combat stance.
She also knows that she's bored. She knows that she saved Nightwings life and he will forgive her. And most important she knows how frustrating it is to not have the skills you want. The green boy obviously does not like to ask and he still did. Cain would have ignored him. That alone might be enough reason to do the opposite.
"I can try."

Wonder Girl

Cassie’s attention remains mostly focused on watching her girlfriend’s playful tail bounce about as she responds, "You’re both right. It’s a good idea to pick-up something useful to fall back on, but all my other classes are hard work, so I want one class to be relaxing. I think I’ll go with Art instead of Computers this semester. Digital Photography should be fun. You can do all sorts of things with computer pictures these days. For example, you could take a picture of Garfield, another of a dress, and stick the dress on him in the picture. Then you could tease him about it." She giggles towards Kitty.

She looks over to Tara and then over to Kitty before saying, "I guess we should go ahead and ask Red Tornado now since our plan depends on him agreeing to drive us over there and then pick us back up afterwards. If he doesn’t agree, we’ll still have time to work out a plan 'B'." She stands up and goes over to the nearest communications relay where she tries to call-up Red Tornado on it.

He smiles at the mostly silent girl "Thanks, I'll try to be a good student. They say there is a first for everything." As Garfield slowly goes through the motions and begins to learn what Cass has had beaten into her for most of her life he doesn't crack one joke and he holds a single image in his head for motivation, a man with a rifle...screaming in pain.

The bright side of Cassandra's cold attitude is that she never even comes close to getting impatient. If she has to she spends the whole day just trying to see what Beast Boy allready can do. She calmly corrects a few things but is obviously not out for perfection. As long as a move looks as if it might get the intended result it is good enough for now. For her precision comes after basic survival.
Even now she doesn't talk much at all, instead showing what she means by doing it herself or guiding Garfield into the right position.
