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.

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	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.

	Tim just blinks. "Totally didn't mean to offend, Bro," he says. "Just uh...yeah...sorry," he says, frowning a little. Shaking it off, he focuses on the controller. "Man...still getting used to the controllers being different here too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No worries, I'm hard to offend. Just giving you some advice for the future - most people aren't Superman's grandson. They don't grow up among super heroes or fly or anything. As for the controller, try holding it like this... you'll get a quicker reaction time. And those buttons are pretty sensitive, you can just rapid tap them instead of needing to press so hard. I'm guessing that's how controllers work in your world?"

	Tim nods and alters how he's holding the controller. "Depends on the system actually. That bulky behemoth from LexCorp was a pain. But the system Kord put out...man that ws great. Motion sensitive," he chuckles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jay nods. "Yeah, Kord is kind of lagging behind some here, but the LexBox stuff is the really streamlined system. Jesse Chambers' company is the main competitor now for LexCorp entertainment's video games division. But no one has made controllers motion sensitive yet. Sounds like you guys may be a bit ahead of us in tech, though your Luthor sounds a lot more insane... here, the guy is pretty efficient."

	"Wait...Quickstart makes videogames here?" Tim asks. "Okay, that I gotta see," he declares. "They just make self help stuff and health stuff in my universe. Like treadmills and weight training stuff and protein powders." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Totally, let me see if they have anything in the demo menu... ahh, here we go, the new Quickstart hockey. You can play whole team, or first person as any member of the team, and play competitive or co-op. Want to try it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay superpowerboy 2010-06-23 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	Tim listens to what Jay explains and peers at the screen. "Sure, let's give it a shot," he agrees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay rockchalk 2010-06-23 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	Jay shifts the game, setting up hockey. "You know anything about hockey? And you want to play competitive or co-op?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay superpowerboy 2010-06-23 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Not much," Tim admits. "Just what I saw from watchin' it on TV with Impulse a few times. Err...let's try co-op...atleast till I get a better handle on things," he says with a little chuckle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmmm, ok, why don't you take a wing then. That button there is shoot on offense, shoulder check on defense, that one is pass on offense, going for the puck on defense... control with directional, you can figure the rest out pretty easy." Jay explains, shifting to co-op mode. "You follow any sports?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Tim and Jay superpowerboy 2010-06-23 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	Tim nods, mentally repeating everything Jay tells him. "Right, thanks man," he replies. "Well. I used to follow football but uhh...sorta in the wrong dimension as everything I followed now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
