Cassie Sandsmark

In clothes much oversized--though her button-down shirt still fit rather well in some areas--Tim wandered out, pushing long black hair away from her face, yawning all the while. "Cassie," said their erstwhile leader in a modulated soprano, "Please stop shouting and calm down. I think it's rather obvious what's happening. Who else is affected this time? Bart? Kon? Jill?"

From:

Cassie blinked in surprise at Tim, which she only knew because the girl came out of Tim's room. Then she shook her head slightly, which was weird since there was no hair brushing the back of neck. Her neck felt naked.

She did take a deep breath before she spoke again. "Well, yes it's obvious. But what happens now? How do we fix this?"

From:

"We don't. So long as you're not hurt, there's nothing much anyone can do. Take it easy today--go for a run instead of training. The weird phenomena only last a couple of days." Tim shrugged matter of factly, "You'll probably want to get some breakfast. You've just packed on a lot of height and muscle weight. Your body will need the fuel."

From:

When Tim mentioned height and weight, Cassie looked down and actually took in her new body for the first time. Before it had just been shock, now she actually paid attention. She was in fact taller then before and parts of her were thicker then normal. God, how did the boys survive with such huge arms? "Yeah, so I'm seeing. I feel so heavy. How do you live without feeling tired all the time?"

As she began to think rationally she began to calm down. Thankfully.

From:

"Mostly we lean against things a lot," Tim replied, looking her over thoughtfully. "You'll probably be able to borrow something from Bart until you can get to the compound. The clothing box will be a madhouse for a while today."

From:

"That explains so much!" Cassie said with feigned enthusiasm, but then, she could never resist an opportunity to tease her boys.

"Yeah, I guess. I really just need pants at the moment. Do you guys need anything? I have a couple of bras that might work..." She considered both Tim and Bart and sighed. How un fair was it that both of them were more developed bust wise then she was?

From:

Tim shook her head, then pushed her hair out of her face, "I'm good, I have everything from the last time this occurred. I figured they might come in handy. I don't have anything that will fit Bart, unfortunately but if you can lend him something until he can get clothes from the compound that would help."

From:

Cassie nodded quickly. "Yeah, I think have some sweats that will fit. Does this stuff happen a lot?" Yes she'd been warned but it happening was something else. Entirely. And hearing about Tim being prepared for it just cemented the feeling.

From:

"Sporadically. Seems like it happens less than it used to. Remind me to tell you about the time that the entire island population was granted the ability to use magic. Nita Callahan reconnected Bart to the Speed Force temporarily."

From:

Bart really didn't know what to say when she first set eyes on Tim. As a woman, he looked, well, really hot. If they'd still been together, it might have been interesting, but as it was...

"Count me in," she said, wondering if there was anything more to add.

From:

Tim didn't stare because Tim was better trained than that. But she did reflect in the privacy of her own thoughts, that Bart made a remarkably attractive woman. And that nothing, apparently, put curves on a speedster--not even second X chromosome. "Good morning, Bart. How are you feeling?"

From:

It really wasn't fair how nonplussed Tim seemed, even though Bart doubted its authenticity. She was pretty sure she didn't have an answer to the question, though.

Running a hand through her longer hair, Bart grimaced as her fingers caught. "Everything feels just a little...wrong, I guess. Nothing moves the way I'm used to, and it isn't just the height," she finally stated, not meeting Tim's eyes as she spoke. "Knowing this place, we'll turn back around the time I stop feeling like a complete klutz."

From:

"I had the same problem the first time around. You're probably going to be more flexible but don't push it. You could hurt yourself pretty easily like this. Keep your training gentle today--meditation, katas and the like." Tim shoved her hair out of her face again, it had a habit of sliding in, inky black and messy. Long hair was so impractical.

"I suggest that you and Cassie head over to the compound, find some clothes and check in on the inhabitants to see if they're dealing with this well."

From:

Bart gave a most unladylike snort at the idea of the general island inhabitants handling anything well.

"Run with me later?" she asked, instead. Even if neither of them were precisely normal, a mile or so couldn't hurt, right? "Not far, just...you know me."

From:

Running meant putting on the extremely uncomfortable sports bra. But then again, she could hardly expect her Titans to do something she wasn't willing to do herself. "Sure, we'll do a couple miles. I want to check on the state of the island first but afterwards, it's going to be a worthless day to try to get anything done. Might as well run."

From:

Bart nodded, since she didn't expect Tim to do anything less. "I hope this doesn't produce the kind of panic that power outage did. People here spook at the strangest things."

From:

"I think they'll be all right with this one. It's happened before and they adapt quickly. Strangely quickly, to tell you the truth. I've often wondered about that." Tim shrugged, "It's still a good idea to do a sweep though."

Kon blinked a little and climbed the last few steps of the ladder. His eyes went up and up and...well, that was a very attractive woman, but not who he was expecting to see. And not expected generally wasn't good. He got to the top of the ladder and stood up, folding his arms across his chest.

"And who're you?"

From:

Tim stopped fussing with her hair and smirked at Kon, putting her hands on her hips -- a stance that not coincidentally helped her hold up the boxers perched somewhat precariously on her hips. Luckily, she had more curves than Bart had ended up with and so they weren't falling off entirely. "I approve of the early morning initiative, Kon, but I will have to deduct points for observational skills. When you encounter a stranger in your place of residence, she's likely to be either a friend of an inhabitant or an inhabitant. I'll let you work out which one."

From:

"It's not 'initiative'. It's a walk. I have to have some time when you don't want me to tr--" Kon stopped dead when he realized just what he was saying. His mouth snapped shut and he glared. He glared and he tried not to look at the very obvious traits in front of him. Tried and only sort of succeeded. And 'sort of' was really 'not at all'.

"Tim."

The earth could come up and swallow him hole and he'd be perfectly happy with that right about now.

From:

Her mouth quirked into a half-smirk, "Good, there's hope for you after all."

The moment of levity passed quickly, "Bart and Cassie are going to need new clothes, I have some. If you're going to freak out, I'd appreciate it if you could keep it to a minimum until we get everything sorted out."

From:

"Freak out? Why would I freak out? It's not like my best friend has breasts or anything, right? And apparently Bart does and..." Kon's jaw dropped a little when he realized just what Tim had said. Weakly he added, "Cassie?"

Oh god. If Cassie was involved in all of this, did that mean that she had a...

Kon really wasn't looking, looking, but his gaze couldn't seem to stay away from Tim's chest.

From:

"Eyes up here, Kon," Tim said tiredly, sensing that this was going to be a problem. He mentally apologized to all the women he'd ever known and considered irrational for their annoyance. "Cassie's going to be a guy for a couple of days. It'll all go back to normal soon. And for the love of pete, they're just breasts. I didn't grow an extra head."

From:

"But I should not consider my best friend pretty," Kon blurted before he could stop himself. He cursed silently to himself. That wasn't what he'd meant to say. He hadn't meant to say anything. And Cassie was a boy. What would that mean for their date? Reschedule until things went back to normal? Go on as planned? What?
