It's an emotion, taking me over....
Iris laid on her stomach in her bedroom at home.

She was bored. Her homework was done, there was nothing good on t.v., and almost everyone was busy. If there was one thing that Iris hated, it was being bored. She twisted a strand of hair around her finger, looked out her window, and heaved a sigh.

Why was there never anything to do around here?

The radio, which had been playing an upbeat Taylor Swift song, suddenly cut off in the middle of the chorus.

"Word that the Rainbow Raiderettes have appeared in downtown Keystone City has reached us here at KX293 FM. The Raiderettes are currently making their way through the stores at the Golden Ridge Plaza...shoppers are in a panic...."

Iris didn't need to hear anymore. She hopped up, grinning. Finally, something to DO. Quickly changing into her Impulse costume, Iris zipped out of the house, and down to Golden Ridge Plaza. She didn't think to call Jai or her Dad.

She could take them with one hand behind her back.

She was, after all, the Fastest Girl Alive.

Despite the chaotic situation of their little 'shopping trip', the crowds around are mostly pretty sedate, and a few of the more weak willed folks, a mall cop among them, are assuring other shoppers that everything is ok, everyone needs to just stay back and it'll all be ok, and the Raiderettes can't be all that bad, right?

This, of course, is largely due to the violet mist washing over the crowd that radiates from the headpiece Pippi is wearing. She's not even really trying to affect the crowd, any more, she and the really awesome headpiece no one else wants have gotten pretty well bonded. She has her own focus... which, of course, is totally different than anyone else's, even of her own crew.

"Look!" she squeals. "Neo-Pets are ON SALE! Can I have one, Mitzi, plleeease?!"

	Mandy rolled her eyes. "Why are you asking, Pippi? Just take what you want. We could easy rob this store and get away with anything we want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She blinks. One can almost see the wheels turning. Or the overworked guinea pig trying to make the wheel turn.

"But... rob a toy store?"

But there's teddy bears. And neo-pets. Maybe she can steal just one stuffed kitty... that one wants to come home with her.
And then there's the neo-pet she's been looking for! *squeeaaal!*
Oh, and that new video game where you raise all the fuzzy, adorable little creatures! AND its on sale! Perfect!

The guinea pig gives up and goes on his coffee break.

	"Why not? It's like any other store and it has things you want. Though I personally think Neo Pets are for little kids. Don't you have enough already?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"They are not! You just don't appreciate cute." she responds, losing her train of thought amidst trying to do two things at once, like snuggling a stuffed kitten and talking at the same time.

"Besides, I only have..." She starts counting on her fingers... runs out when she realizes she'd have to drop the kitten to go higher, ponders taking off a shoe, remembers her numbers. "Eight."

	There was a sudden gust of wind, and Impulse was standing in front of the Raiderettes. "Shopping trip's over, ladies." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Pippi pouts, walking up to Iris. "Well, I like her hair. And Mr. Whiskers does too." "Neo-pet?" she offers Iris, holding one out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iris was thrown off her path by the different beams, tripping as she tried to dodge them all. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Whoa..." Jay dives out of the way, trying to tackle Ruth out of the path of a stray beam as they approach the mall, wondering at the commotion. "What the hell is going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth is pulled out of the way, then frowns. "I don't know. Costumed crime in progress, I guess, but...I've got a really funny feeling all of a sudden." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods. "You too... its like... like..." He clutches his head, shutting his eyes tight as an impulse strikes him. "Hawk!" There's a blinding flash of reddish light, whorled with blue. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once the call was disconnected, Cait got on the internal communication system. "Titans! Iris needs our help. We need to go to Golden Ridge Shopping Plaza in Keystone City right now!" Cait was already on her way to the teleporters. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I'm ready to go," Cerdian replies, heading towards the meeting room. "Anyone need teleportation?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-04-16 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure!" Cait replied. She hated teleporting, but it was still better than flying and she'd rather have Cerdian teleport her than a machine. She trusted Cerdian with her life. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once they're gathered, Cerdian spreads his arms wide... and his eyes glow violet as they disappear in a bolt of eldrich energy. Moments later, they reappear a block away from where Iris is currently. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Cait took a moment to get her bearings. She really didn't like teleporting. Still wasn't bad as flying. She didn't think Batman would ever forgive her for puking on him. "Iris!" she called out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As almost if on command, Iris was standing right in front of the group. "Thank you sooo much for coming. I...didn't expect them to be this tough. The Raiderettes, that is. But we have some help!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mandy came out of another jewelry store. Since Fat Ass took off, they went back to shopping. "Lookee! Isn't this pretty!?" She held up a necklace laced with diamonds and sapphires. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	“It is,” Buffy said as she picked up some diamond earrings, “Do you think I could find a necklace to go with theses?” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
