Gender Switch Gathering Post

The Titans Treehouse was quiet early in the morning. The sun had not yet risen so most of the residents were still asleep. Or they were, until a loud shout tore through the air.

Cassie came bursting through her door, still dressed in her sweats and S-shirt pajamas, and while the shirt suddenly fit her a bit better, the sweats were too short. This would be because she was suddenly a he! She wasn't panicking exactly, but she wanted answers and she wanted them now. Yes, she'd been briefed that these kind of things happened, but being briefed and having them actually happen was a whole different thing. A whole different thing being mainly the thing between her legs she was pointedly ignoring.

As the others started drifting out of their rooms, she looked to the others who had been on the island for longer then a month. "Alright, someone explain, Now!" She said in her best Wonder Girl...Boy tone, frowning as her voice came out much rougher then normal.

Kon waved a hand. "No, normally you see me crashed back in bed. I'm fine, Cassie, really. I just like the mornings, that's all." And the time it gave him to himself. Like he kind of wanted now. It meant abandoning Cassie, though, and he wouldn't do it. Not even in her current...situation.

Cassie wasn't pleased by this answer and just kind of stared at him for a few minutes. She was having a small mental war. She wanted nothing more then hug him and hold on and not let go until this craziness was over. But with the way Kon was looking at her, she didn't think that was a good idea. So instead, she took a step back and just hugged her arms around herself. "Yeah okay."

[not_the_s]

Kon sighed. "Cassie." He took a step forward and touched her - she had to be a her - arm, squeezing it a little. "Look, it's just...I just need to get adjusted, you know? It's not like I exactly expected my girlfriend to suddenly be my boyfriend." Not thinking about it. Not thinking about it. Definitely not thinking about it.

Of course she was her. No matter what her body was doing, she was always going to be a girl. Though the look she gave him was pure daggers. "Your have to get adjusted? I'm Wonder Boy and you want me to wait for you to get adjusted?"

She paused and took a deep breath. "Look, can I borrow some pants and shoes please so I can go to Compound and gets some food and clothes of my own? I need to...not be here for a while."

[not_the_s]

"Cassie! That's..." Kon closed his eyes and sighed. "Yeah. Okay." He let go of her arm and led the way back into his room. He sat on his bed and faced away from her. Maybe different parts, but still Cassie. "Look, Cass, if it's any consolation, I'm going to be just as freaked out around Tim and probably even more for Bart."

When he faced away from her, Cassie had to bite her lip. Was she that bad as a boy? She just needed some pants then she could get out of there. Maybe take her sailboard for a spin. Anything to get her mind off this disaster of a morning.

"Yeah, I guess." She relented, looking down at the floor.

[not_the_s]

Kon snorted. "No guesses. It's going to be downright weird seeing Bart." He didn't say why. He still hadn't told her about the drunken kiss and, if she hadn't seen it, he wasn't going to mention it and upset her more. Especially when he still wasn't sure why Bart had kissed him in the first place. It's not exactly like they'd had a conversation about it after or anything.

Cassie didn't know and really didn't need to. This was hard enough as it was without knowing about Bart being weird.

"You can't even look at me." She said softly, looking at the floor and shuffling her feet.

[not_the_s]

Kon frowned. "Cass that's not..." He sighed. "You were getting changed. Just because you have different parts doesn't mean you probably still wouldn't smack me for looking." He risked a peek up. "You know. With things like asking for my boxers?"

[thethirdwonder.livejournal.com]

"Changed?" Cassie asked, blinking in surprise before she remembered why she'd followed Kon in there in the first place. "Oh...oh! Right."

She moved over to where he kept his clothes and began digging through things until she found a pair of boxers and jeans she could wear. She quickly changed out of her underwear and pajama pants, just keeping on Kon's shirt from what she had been sleeping in. They felt so weird. Her brain was trying to tell her the clothes should be way to bagging, instead of just slightly. "Alright, I'm done."

[not_the_s]

Kon turned around quickly when she started digging in his clothes and waited until she said it was okay again before turning back around. "Cassie, it's awkward. I'm not gonna lie." He shrugged. "Especially since we had plans. But it doesn't change that I adore you."

[thethirdwonder.livejournal.com]

Cassie wanted nothing more then to cry right now. To take herself somewhere she could be alone and just cry. But even as a girl, that wasn't something she did. "I...adore you too." She winced slightly, the words sounding so weird in her lower male voice. Though even her male voice couldn't hide her disappointment. "I guess our plans aren't gonna work huh?"

[not_the_s]

"They will," Kon said, sure of that. "We'll just find a day when things aren't so...awkward. I promise and I always keep my promises, right?" He took a breath. I want to do things right, not worry about whether either of us is going to be weird." And he was pretty sure that he wasn't going to be the only weird one.

Sighing once again, Cassie walked over to sit next to him. "I know you will. I just wish this wasn't happening at all." She tried bringing her knees up to her chest to curl around them in a familiar worrying posture for her but it didn't quite work with her new body so she had to abandon it.

She sighed and tried to give him a small smile. "We'll figure it out. We always do right?"

[not_the_s]

Kon nudged her shoulder. "Of course we do. We're the Titans. And before that, Young Justice. Of course, we're likely to screw things up spectacularly before we get there, but I've kind of gotten used to that part of it." If he hadn't screwed things up already. It was entirely possible that he had.

It felt screwed up. And when she thought about it, she knew it wasn't Kon's fault. It wasn't his fault that the island turned her into a guy and he couldn't deal with going on a date with one. It wasn't her fault either.

It still sucked.

She wanted a hug, but she didn't want to make him anymore uncomfortable so she didn't ask for one. "Yeah, I guess. And if this isn't spectacular, I don't know what is."

[not_the_s]

"I probably don't want to know." Kon put his hand on Cassie's shoulder and squeezed softly. "Come on. Let's go do something that'll guarantee that we'll forget all of this." Maybe not a proper date, but just them having fun. "What do you say?"

[thethirdwonder.livejournal.com]

She couldn't help a small smile as she looked up...no over at Kon. It was really weird being this tall. "Yeah okay. Let's go."
