To the rescue
Their heads clearer than they had been before, Iris and her remaining Titans were teleported by Ty in front of Keystone's Golden Ridge Plaza.

"I don't think the Raiderettes have gone anywhere...seeing as we didn't exactly scare them off last time," she said. "But we're ready for them now. We just need to divide and conquer. Get them against each other, and we've got this fight in the bag." She turned to Ruth. "And we'll get back Jayhawk, too."

This required a battle cry to get them in the mood....

"Titans Together!"

Iris sped off in the direction of the mall, to where she heard the giggles of the Raiderettes.

	"That's... weird. Since Superman only has one kid and... oh yeah, you said something about other dimensions? That had to be weird." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You have no idea, Bro," Tim sighs. "This whole dimension is a bit weird. Aquagirl? Completely different person in my reality. And Superman has two kids where I come from...neither of which is the one he has here. It's all a lot to get used to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"See, now that universe sounds weird to me. Not that I've really had much to do with the whole superhero universe thing, but Superman's kid taking up the mantle was big news, and pretty recent. How'd you end up here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay superpowerboy 2010-06-23 01:55 am UTC (link)
	Tim gestures vaguely. "See ...Dad took grandpa's mantle where I came from too and it was a big deal. And I took my dad's old codename but I had to change it here since someone was already using it," he sighs. "Lex Luthor in his new cyborg body shot me with this weird ass missile and next thing I know...boom...wrong universe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lex Luthor... like the businessman? Huh, that really is weird. Your universe is strange. But I can see where this would be a lot to adapt to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's a psychopathic supervillain where I'm from. Got even worse when he fused himself with Brainiac," Tim frowns. "And yeah, a lot to adapt to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ok, so let's try the video games, the girls can have their... girl time, and hopefully sort this all out. The video games ought to be about the same everywhere, mindless violence and all, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay superpowerboy 2010-06-23 02:13 am UTC (link)
	"Well," Tim chuckles. "One amusing thing I noticed...the Mario games here are all Luigi games where I come from. They reverse 'em here," he says with a shrug. "And Master Chief's a chick in my world," he adds, looking around the game shop from the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay rockchalk 2010-06-23 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"Ok, the Master Chief thing might be an improvement. Luigi games... weird. So what kind of games do you usually play?" he asks, walking towards the video game store as he chats. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"From what I've seen of this dimension's Halo series, it's pretty much the same," Tim remarks. "Just different banter. And I said the same about Mario games," he chuckles. "I play the fighters, shooters, and RPGs even if Impulse makes fun of me for 'em. What about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tim gives Jay a look like he just sprouted a second head. "Doesn't...approve...? I'm sorry, that concept does not make sense to me. Not allowing a teenage boy contact with video game is like not giving a dog a tennis ball to chase and chew on," he says. "Well, the Titans have some systems from what I saw. Could play those if you're with them," he remarks. "So what's the best fighter in this dimension?"

	Jay shrugs. "He's a minister, and just thinks they're too violent. I think the cheerleaders said they have some games. We didn't spend a lot of time talking. And, hrm, I'm a fan of Samurai Showdown - one good hit and its over, so you really have to be paying attention." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay superpowerboy 2010-06-23 01:56 pm UTC (link)
	Tim just shakes his head. "Man..." he trails off. When the cheerleaders are mentioned again, the partial Kryptonian rolls his eyes. "Games they stole most likely," he points out. "Samurai Showdown? Don't think I've heard of that one before." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jay heads into the shop, and heads for the used games, finding what he's looking for and offering the box over. "Its an older game, but its still a good one. Its not all about combos and lots of hits - you get hit in the leg once, you're crippled, hit in the arm, you're fighting one handed. Good hit to the torso or head and you're dead. Got to mind your tactics and position and use the territory."

	Tim follows Jay in and over to the bin, skimming over a few titles. He makes a face at some of them, muttering something about the weirdness of the dimension. When the box is offered over, Tim accepts it and looks it over while listening to Jay. "Huh...sounds pretty cool. Like something my mom or uncle might really like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay rockchalk 2010-06-23 03:05 pm UTC (link)
	"I've always liked it, anyway, but then maybe its just making me think more in tactics than button mashing. Kinda like playing football, got to go in with a plan and be aware what's going on, you know? You're probably right on the Titans - maybe they have a copy there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay superpowerboy 2010-06-23 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	Tim nods, thinking about football. "Yeah...tactics are important. Robin drilled it into all our heads all the time," he chuckles. "I'll gladly take ya on sometime when we get back to the Tower." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay rockchalk 2010-06-23 03:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Sounds like a plan, when we get back to the tower." That much, at least, hasn't changed. Sure, he's in love - but they're doing girl stuff. Its easier to talk about video games and football where there's no conflict. All that is still in the plans no matter who his girlfriend is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay superpowerboy 2010-06-23 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	Tim nods and grins. "Wanna head back now?" he asks. The super teen pauses. "Can you fly?" he asks, remembering that not everyone does. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay rockchalk 2010-06-23 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	"We ought to try their demos first, anyway. And I doubt heading back til the girls work out their issues is a good idea, right? But looks like they have some of the new games on demo over there. And no... no flying. Jumping real far, sure, run really fast, sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay superpowerboy 2010-06-23 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	Tim nods, looking around when the demos are mentioned. "Yeah, lets get some play in here," he agrees. "And I dunno. They might be here for a long while," he shrugs. "Huh. That's gotta suck...being stuck ground bound like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay rockchalk 2010-06-23 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Uhm... most people can't fly. I couldn't before I got my powers. If you can, makes you a small minority, it doesn't make things suck for the rest of us." he replies, setting himself up on controller one of the latest fighter demo. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay superpowerboy 2010-06-23 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	Tim gets the second controller and chuckles. "Sorry. Just used to being around more heroes that can fly is all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Right, but just a hint from someone who has been a super hero for almost no time at all, has never been around super heroes until the past few days, and never planned to be - and until now, was pretty jazzed by having super strength, combat sense and super speed... telling people their powers are kind of disappointing because they can't fly isn't going to make you any friends." he replies, though still with a small smile, focused mostly on the game controller.
