For Eric

[thethirdwonder]

Something really weird was going on in Tabula Rasa land and Cassie was set to investigate or at least check on all the people she was close too. Morgan was effected and Dick and Tim seemed occupied keeping her out of trouble. Anatoly and Luthor seemed to be fine when she'd checked on them. She hadn't seen Kon since he missed training but that wasn't exactly out of the normal so she wasn't worried. Yet anyway.

She was currently looking for Karolina to check on her and thus heading towards the club where she knew her female friend was working. Cassie really hoped not. This whole thing was just...creepy.

And Cassie took another step back. "Did you not hear what I said?" She demanded, her voice taking on a bit of her Wonder Girl persona. "There will be no using of anyone and you won't take another step." It took everything she had not flee right then and there, but Eric wasn't himself and she owed him to at least get him help. "I think we better find your sister."

"I must say, I'm disappointed. I thought you were more practical than that, Cassandra," Eric chided derisively. "And I'm sure S has her own fun in the works. Some days she does a brother proud." He smirked and shook his head.

"Using people isn't practical Eric. It's not even ethical! It's...it's...Luthorish!" Well damn. If Serena was acting weird too then she had to figure out some else. "Well Nate then. Or Blair. Or heck, even Chuck. You need help!"

"What I need is entertainment," Eric snapped. "And as you've made it very clear you're not interested...I have no further use for you." He rolled his eyes and turned away. "Go moon over your slut of a boyfriend, then."

While she knew he didn't mean it, it took everything Cassie had not to punch Eric in the face in that moment. She took a step forward and grabbed his arm. "You may have no further use for me, but I'm still getting you help."

Eric tugged his arm away, shooting her a murderous glare. "Who do you think you are? The last person I need help from is you." She had stopped being amusing a while ago, and Eric just wanted to lose the dead weight at this point and find some actual entertainment.

Or what passed for it in this sorry place, anyway.

"I'm the hero remember. Helping is what I do, even for idiots who don't think they need it." Cassie spat back, also really not amused. Plus she wanted to get this over with so she could see what the heck was up with Kon. Not that she believed Eric, but still.

Eric rolled her eyes. "Not here, you're not," he pointed out coldly. "So why don't you mind your own damn business?"

"Doesn't matter where I am." Cassie replied, though she was more Wonder Girl now. It was easier to not care. "And you are my business, even when your being an idiot!" Though she was this close to hitting him and leaving him and superiority complex in the sand.

"Oh, get over yourself," Eric said derisively. What had he ever seen in her? She was clearly beneath him, and he was done listening to her preaching. "Do you have any idea how utterly boring you are? I'm out of here." He rolled his eyes and moved past her, ready to find something actually interesting to do.

This time Cassie just let him go, glaring at his back. Fine, Eric didn't want her help, see if she cared. She had more important things to do. Like find out what in Hera's name he was talking about.
