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.

"Yeah," Cissie scowled at the memory. At least if he tried anything, he'd be in for a pretty rude awakening. "It's not bad enough that we have to worry about being here, but we've got to worry about him too."

Kon snorted. "Don't worry. I'll keep him in line. No one gets to mess with my girls without going through me first."

"My hero!" Cissie batted her eyelashes playfully at him and pretended to swoon a little. She knew he meant it and she was grateful for that, but it didn't mean she couldn't tease him a little.

"Dork," he said fondly, swatting her a little when he came near.

She almost elbowed him back but remembered that was a bad idea. She'd hurt herself if she tried to do that here and he wouldn't even feel it.

"So," she said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Do you think this real or just a dream?"

Kon shrugged. "Dunno. If the theories about going back to the point we came from is right…" He looked down at the uniform he was in. "I'm in the wrong costume. And in the wrong place. I should be in the future, freaking out at Tim in my new uniform."

And they always did say you could fly in dreams. He's just never felt it so real before.
