What's next?

A little downtime?

Upon returning to Titans Tower and throwing Bullseye in a holding cell, the group was greeted by a relieved Raven. "Cass. Gwen. Glad you two aren't dead," she told the pair.

Cassie breathed her own sigh of relief; throughout the chaos that had ensued since Kraven & Cheetah's dome had appeared, she'd attempted to contact her teammates, to varying degrees of success. "Good to see you too, Rach. You hear from any of the others?"

"I have. The good news is most of them are fine -- some were out of town when the dome popped up. Dick's in Bludhaven, doing his thing -- he said he'd come help as soon as he was able to. Kori & M'gann are offworld, obviously. Victor's here in town, but he's working with that team of eggheads to try and figure out how to take that dome down."

Cassie breathed a sigh of relief as Raven explained the whereabouts of her friends; it seemed that most of them had maintained some kind of telepathic contact with Rachel, even if they were separated. Still, the chaos in the city meant that if a Titan was underneath the dome, they likely had their hands full at that moment.

"I've talked to some ex-Titans, too," Raven continued. "Donna was in Boston with Wonder Woman. Apparently they were doing 'Amazon things', whatever that means..."

Upon hearing that, Gwen and Cassie shared a chuckle, both women recalling the "Amazon things" they'd done with Diana recently.

"...And I've been in contact with Zatanna. There's... something out there trying to take advantage of all the chaos going on," Raven said, a genuine look of worry on her face. "We really hope it's not who we think it is... whatever the case is, Dr. Strange has her looking into it."

It was then that Laura, Felicia & Selina walked into the tower command center, having locked Bullseye in a holding cell the team occasionally used to temporarily detain criminals when needed.

"So this is Titans Tower... it's emptier than I expected," Selina noted. "Looks like now would be a good time to clean this place out. I bet the tech here would go for a fortune on the black market."

"Are you seriously considering robbing the Tower?" Cassie asked in disbelief. "And telling me -- to my face -- that you're going to do it?"

Selina chuckled. Cassie's fun, she thought. I wonder how fun she can really be... "Relax, hon. We've got more important things to deal with right now... and stealing tech from groups like the Titans isn't usually my style. You *might* want to hide any expensive jewelry lying around, though..."

"Awfully considerate of you, giving me a heads up," Cassie observed.

"What can I say? I like you. You're cute," Selina said with a mischievous grin.

Cassie sighed, exasperated. "The teasing never stops with you two, does it?"

"No. but I think you like it," Selina explained. "You like it, don't you?"

"Uhh, no comment," Cassie blushed. "So, uh, Laura, there weren't any problems with Bullseye, were there?"

"Nope. He's still out cold, and there's no way he's getting out of that cell any time soon," Laura confirmed.

Cassie nodded in recognition. "Good to hear. So, I guess we've got some time to kill before he wakes up. I could use a shower..."

"You're all exhausted -- I can sense it," Raven noted. "You probably should take a break before you drop. I've got things of my own to do, so..."

"You're not even going to introduce yourself?" Felicia said in a teasing disappointed tone. "Seems awful rude..."

"Yeah, it'd be nice to at least tell us your name," Selina added. "You look dark and mysterious. I kind of have a thing for that."

"My friends call me Rachel. It's Raven to you." After dismissively introducing herself, Raven disappeared, presumably to attempt further telepathic contact and assistance to the other Titans.

A small, almost imperceptible smile crossed Laura's face. "I like her."

"So I guess we've got some downtime," Cassie pointed out. "Might as well try to relax a little."

"I guess that's as good a plan as any -- I'm not sure how much good we can be out there right now, anyway," Gwen agreed. "Plus, I *really* need a shower."
