Down the Rabbit Hole

[William Talbot]

Will looked on and arched his eyebrow to a comical height, and just watched things play out, his eyes cutting over to Violet, then back, as things progressed, but then he blinked at Robin's request.

"Huh? Ohh, okay sure..." he reached to his back and plucked his bright yellow com-unit and flipped it open, and spoke into it; "Blaze calling Robin, repeat, Blaze calling Robin..." then he pushed the button that showed on the small round touch screen, that read: "Titan 1" and then waited...


A few seconds later, both of the communicators that Robin held, started to chime, one the "classic" mildly annoying nine note ringtone, the other, an MP3 quality punk rock version of the song... WITH Lyrics!

"That's definitely new..." Will quipped as he smirked over at Jetta, then shot her a playful wink before laughing; "Hmm haha, well Jetta, between that and what I can sense from you, I believe you, and trust me, if I didn't DB or I one would be pinning you to the ground after kicking your butt around the tower."

And with that, Blaze crossed his arms over his chest and just smiled, a big silly, happy smile.

Something told him that things would only get more exciting and interesting, if not more fun...

Gracie smiled, taking her com unit back. "Thank-you" she smiled, looking it over, then attaching it back to her hip, the blond smiled. "I think we'll get along just fine"-the "As long as I'm in charge' was slightly implied... she threw her arm around Blaze in a 'lets bond' way. She had to admit... this young, hottie version of Blaze was an added bonus. This was different. definately different. She then looked around, and pulled her arm back. "Ok, well, now that we established I am who I say I am, Where do we go from here? I mean, its not really like I can stay here, All my stuff and my Team are back in the future..." She giggled... back in the future... haha. She changed her stance. "Knowing my team, they probably diffused the situation already, rendering me stuck here, i'm going to say you don't have a time portal, since we're still working on ours... so... I'm stuck?" she looked to Violet, and sighed. This was pointless... stuck here... now... with the worst year of the titans...

[Violet Schultz]

Are you sure that's not still an option? Violet asked Will over the link, her mental tone dry.

"If we're done here, I think I'll go on patrol," she said, turning and leaving the hall without another word.

Her manner was as bored and distant as usual, totally unfazed by the viewpoint of anyone other than Will. He could sense the irritation and the displeasure at the prospect of this girl's extended stay. As much as she liked the girl's guts, her behavior kept dropping her in Violet's esteem. The girl didn't seem to get that she wasn't in charge of anyone here. She was acting like a spoiled brat, and Violet had no patience for her. She would have to learn quickly that some people weren't willing to play these kinds of games. Violet was one of those people.

She went to her room, changing quickly out of her workout gear and into her Titans uniform. She went about her routine with a singlemindedness which was remniscent of martial arts training, but which showed that her mind was on something else. Letting her long hair down, she stroked it twice before leaving her room.

[Tim Drake]

Robin Clipped his own communicator back to his belt and then nodded as Darkbrand left, then turned back to Jetta and Blaze; "Hmm, well I guess if Blaze can't find anything wrong, then neither can I, We'll see if we can't work something out here, see if we can send you back, and if not, then I guess you're the newest member of the Teen Titans... Again."

He smiled at her before he turned and walked for the door himself, speaking over his shoulder; "In the mean time, I'm going to join Darkbrand for some of her patrol, while Blaze can get you a room, and show you the tower, am I right?"

He looked to the taller boy and then nodded as the door swept open, then closed behind him, his steps taking him to the girls wing of the tower, where he met up with Violet in the hallway; "Hey, I'm going to tag along for a little... We need to talk for a moment."

Tim had an extra pair of gloves and a cape stashed down stairs in the garage, so he could pull those on and be ready, his tunic and armored legging like trousers still on from the workout run around the Island.

Blaze smiled at Jetta and shook his head; "Nope, no such luck, unless Raven or someone else can cook up a time portal spell or something, I'm afraid your stuck Jetta."

Once Robin and Darkbrand had left, Blaze turned to Jetta and tilted his head, a wondering look on his face as he gazed at her for a moment, then spoke; "So the future huh? I don't know if I can ask this or not but uhh... Well, ha, whats it like? I mean, like, are we all still super heroes?"

It may have seemed silly to her, but it was something that had just popped into Will's mind as maybe kinda good to know, to see if things got better, and... wait...
"Oh and what did you mean by, "The worst year of the Titans?"" he asked as his head tilted back the other way again.

[Grace Logan]

Gracie nodded, and turned towards Will. With her arms crossed, she looked him over. She wasn't used to him like this. Younger, hotter, less scar covered. She was content; actually, he was up to par. Back at home, he and she always had a strange relationship. Though she was younger than him, she had always had this little crush on him. But, he was always just too old for her to set her sights on him. The older Will was just slightly out of reach for the young vixen. Choosing her words carefully… “Well, you were scar covered, wrinkly, and old” she smiled. “That’s the most basic explanation I can give…” she shrugged. She was honest.

“Well… Theres a lot of issues… this era… with you guys… lots of issues… “ she ran her fingers through her hair. “I don’t wanna say anything, since I’m not sure what has happened yet, and what hasn't happened” she looked around herself again, then back to him. “Your really hot” she commented.

[Violet Schultz]

"Yeah, okay," Violet said, not breaking stride. "Walk with me and we'll talk." She was never one for hostile outbursts or catfights, even if this girl was throwing herself out there for her boyfriend. She preferred to channel her frustration somewhere other than a situation that would make her seem petty or patently ridiculous. Besides, she could tell through the link that Will was pretty much oblivious to the girl's attitude, and anyway, she wanted to trust him. The alternative made her angry to think about, and her mind shied away from it.

She was heading for the garage, her face still as carefully neutral as it ever was. She couldn't help but wonder if Robin was picking up on the flirting, but she didn't say a word about it. It wasn't something that the leader of the Titans needed to worry about, and it was a little embarrassing that something like this would even come up. She tore her mind away from it, hoping that whatever Robin wanted to discuss had nothing to do with Jetta. Odds were against that, though. Robin seemed to trust her to make accurate assessments of situations, and this one was kind of important.

The problem was that she would definitely have trouble being impartial on this one. It was quickly becoming personal.

[Tim Drake]

Tim walked along side Violet and tugged his gloves on before he pressed his mask to his face and attached it, his mind choosing his next words carefully; "Okay, other than the surface noise she puts out, whats your take on this, as a situation, at face value?"

What he wanted to know was, other than her well hidden frustration at the girl's interest in Will, (who had told him of the now budding relationship between the two pyros) what did she think of "Jetta" and the situation as a whole, since Robin had grown to trust Darkbrand's powers of reasoning and reading a situation and the people in it quickly and thus far accurately.

After all, a good leader used his resources as best as he could right?

And on that note: "Also, are you going to be able to keep things clear? I know she's attracted to Blaze, or at least likes to flirt with him, but you and I both know he only has eyes for and his heart seems to be set on you..."

With Will, it was simple, he was pretty much open honest and straightforward with them, and with his constant looking after them, the trust in the young Lycan had built quickly and firmly, with good reason, and Tim didn't see any need to doubt it, and he was pretty sure that Violet had no reason to doubt it either...

[William Talbot]

Will blinked at her and tilted his head as his eyelids moved rapidly; "Uhh... Old looking?"

Okay, so that wasn't exactly out of the question, but it also wasn't exactly what he meant by his question either, but then her reply to his second question puzzled him just as much, but then her explanation somewhat eased his mind... Sortta... Kinda...
Not really...

Then she told him he was hot, and for the first few moments he just smiled at her and laughed; "Ha, duh? Ima' Pyro? Of course I'm hot, it comes with the powers... Oh... Wait, you mean... ?"
Hmm, it took a moment for her comment to click, then he gestured around his face and then down his torso, to indicate himself and how he looked. and then it also rather puzzled him; didn't she know that he and Violet where a couple?
Surely he and Vi where together in the future, right?

But what if they weren't?


{{{Okay, methinks we need to split off here into two new threads between Tim and Vi, and then Will and Grace, sound good?}}}
