Homplot Wake Up Post

[thethirdwonder]

Normally, Cassie wasn't one to spend a lot of time in bed. But lately, or really the last two days, it had taken everything she had to get out of bed in the morning. Someone people might have been excited to find out the king of the Greek gods was their father but for Cassie, it just made her miserable. The powers she'd felt she'd earned for her bravery now felt cheapened. It just...it just wasn't fair.

And because she'd spent more time in bed, she knew instantly when she woke up that she wasn't on the island. After the events in the Fire Nation the month before, Cassie woke up quickly and sat up at the ready, wanting to be prepared for wherever she'd found herself. It was with a small sigh of relief when she realized that she was asleep on the couch of Young Justice headquarters. She took a deep breath and made herself float for the first time in years. Even through her depression, she couldn't help a small smile.

As I realize he's not going to leave me be, I let out a sigh as I decide to just go with it.

"Alright, fine."

I make the cursor scroll through a few more options, then I just pick something.

"Kon-El sounds a lot like a Krypton name. Wasn't Superman's name Cal-El or something?"

I am not a comic book expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I know a few things.

Kon snorted. "You really don't know how to talk to people, do you? It's a good thing Clark's not a secret or anything. Yeah, that's a Krypton name. I was named by Kal. You might not want to go spouting off something like that if and when we get back. There are plenty of people from books or television shows or something who don't know about it. They wouldn't take too nicely about being from one."

I know how to talk to people, but I just don't get why all of these superkids are so touchy. At this point, I'm really frustrated with this whole situation. I do have half a mind to stop playing nice and just get out of here whether they like it or not. I know they can't keep me prisoner here. But maybe I'll just give myself a chance to cool off.

I'm done with any talk of them and their powers, though. I give Kon and glance and go back to playing the game.

Kon just shrugged and joined him on the couch. When Luke was done playing this, he'd join in and maybe then they'd all figure out what was going on.
