DC: 2012-03-13 - Farleys - Where Ex-Supergirls Go

Libby arrives at the Titans Tower with more Thin Mints. Right around the same time that Tre sees the sort of cryptic note that Kara left for Starfire - 'I quit. Kal's a jerk. I'll be at the house or something. Sorry.' A lot of Kara's stuff is still at the Tower, but she's not here. The house is probably the house in San Francisco that Batman had bought for her.

Tre throws the letter that Kara left for Starfire down - it's short and succinct - 'I quit as Supergirl. Kal's a jerk. I'm sorry.' He had read the damn news paper article that Cat Grant wrote about Kara. He's normally cool headed but when it comes to friends and family he gets a bit over protective. Knowing where Kara's house is, mainly because she's told him about it, Tre starts to leave but as he does he noticies Libby who has been around here the last few days, "Sorry gotta go." he says as he starts to move past her.

Liberty is rather surprised to be let in so easily, but never underestimate the power of Girl Scout cookies. When Tre rushes past her and her cookie delivery she of course steps out of the way. "Hi. Bye." She must have come at the wrong time. She bends down to pick up the note, "Hey, you dropped..." her eyes catch the name Kara and the word quit, and without meaning to pry she's read the whole thing. Her jaw drops and she races after Tre, "What does it mean she quit? What's going on?"

Tre is moving a little quick, seeming determined to get to where he's going. The trip is going to be long but hell it's better to go now then sitting around here. "You read it right?" he says as Liberty tries to keep up with him. Stopping at the checkpoint, he looks to the system and taps a few buttons, "Next time you won't get through without authorization." he says back to Liberty. Even though he is mad he knows when someone shouldn't be here without required authorization, hell he had to be let in most of the time he came in. As he opens the door, he steps to the side so to let the woman with the girl scout cookies out and then he would follow her out.

Liberty is in her Hero Girl outfit, not civvies, so she isn't restricting herself to human speeds. She nods to Tre, "I did." She watches him change the settings on security then says, "What's going on? Do you know?" She digs out her phone once they are outside and dials up Kara, hoping her friend had her special Kryptonian otherdimensional awesomeness phone handy.

Kara Zor-El answers her phone from somewhere. Sounds like a bar or club or something from the background noise. "Y'ello? Kara speaking. If this is Kal, screw you." You'd think the fact that she built her own phone that can get a signal as far as the moon, she'd have bothered to program in caller ID. Guess not. Not as if phones were a big need for her usually.

"She quit." he says as he looks at Liberty, thinking it's pretty obvious but then again he doesn't know if she knows Kara real.....strike that, she probably does. "Hey where are you. I want to talk." he says knowing she can hear him pretty easily. Which would probably prompt her to call him at least. "I need to find out whats going on the full story." he seems a bit distracted at the moment.

"It isn't Kal, Kara. It is Lib...Hero Girl. Where are you? I am here at Titans Tower and I found your note. Are you okay? I'm here with Tre. He wants to talk with you. I want to talk with you...if you want to talk that is." She holds her phone so Tre can listen in if he wants.

Kara Zor-El puts a finger to her head like a gun and goes 'pssch!,' rolling her eyes. She should have sent Starfire an email instead of a note. "I'm just.... you know.... chilling.... at this bar." Yeah, like the last time she went to a bar went so well for her. Plus apparently she's trying to use new lingo like 'chilling.' "I'm just dandy. Juuuuuust dandy." she says sarcastically.

As Hero Girl begins speaking with Kara, he moves to her side and listens in, he doesn't say anything until the phone is brought a bit closer so that they both could here. "Yeah Kar, where you at?" he asks. The concern in his voice is genuine and a bit worrisome, granted he knows almost nothing can hurt Kara, but the emotional and mental is what he is worry about for his friend. Hearing the lingo, "I taught you betta shawty." Tre says it with a bit of a southern drawl, "Where you at lil bit?" he asks. Yup if she is going to use the slang he will too, "But don't use dandy with the other." he chuckles a little.

Liberty listens to Kara, frowning at her response, then she lets Tre ask his questions, "So. You want some company? I could use a bloody mary I think. Spicy. With the whole salad thing they stick in there." Heck, Tre is asking the important questions, Lib's stomach is never full.

Kara looks at the phone briefly. Shawty? Lil bit? Why's he talking with an accent? She shakes her head a bit, then says, "I guess. I'm at this bar/coffee bar near my place. Called um... let's see. Farley's."

"On my way." he says as he moves from the phone. He looks to Hero Girl, "YOu coming?" he asks a bit more polietly this time around. Granted, "I will take care of lunch too." he says as he starts walking towards the bridge that will get them to the city and possibly be able to get a cab to get them to Farleys. He can't fly and he's still saving for a car.

Libby pulls up Googlemaps to get the location of this Farley's place, then says to Kara, "Okay. Got it hon. I'll be...we'll be there shortly okay?" She then hangs up and looks at Tre and nods her head. "Yeah. I'm coming." She offers him her arms, "You want a ride?"

Kara Zor-El says into her phone. "Okay I guess. Seeya soon." She flip closed her phone and shoves it back in the dimensional pocket from whence it came. She leans over to take a cigarette out from that pack she just bought, putting down her second bottle of cream soda. Little bit of heat vision to light it and hold it. Yep, she looks very mature now, like in the commercials.

Blinking he looks to Libby, "You can fly?" he asks then moves to her arms. He does enjoy flying especially when there is a pretty woman doing the flying. "Sure I guess." he smiles looking a bit more relaxed since hearing from Kara. A sigh does escape him, "I bet with the news paper and her cousin." he sighs a little. "Well lets get going." he smiles.

"Fly? No. Not really." That said she takes off running. A grunt and a long jump puts them on the other side of the bay, then it is a matter of weaving through traffic without crashing into anything. She can't run at full speed through traffic, so the speed ranges from 50 to 100 MPH or so. Once they are close, she pulls out her phone to check directions again. "Okay...almost there!" Then, off to the races once more, so it isn't too long before they arrive at the coffee bar in question.

Farley's is one of those kitchy places in San Francisco. Part bar, part coffee bar, got some couches. Sort of like what you'd see on an episode of Friends, except worse lighting. Kara's sitting at a couch talking to some guy who's chatting her up a bit. Couple of bottles of what could be beer, but looks more like cream soda, and an open package of cigarettes. Oh and she has one lit in her hand as well. She's dressed in a sort of eclectic manner - black midriff t-shirt, frilly skirt which goes a bit further than her supergirl skirt, but still shows a lot of leg, and sneakers. Her hair's also sort of ponytailed but not in the same way it is when she's doing the secret identity thing.

Well this is new and as they run, Tre feels all that wind just smacking him in the face. It's a bit different from being in a car you have the windshield and window to take the force of the wind. He has to lower his head a bit and press it against Libby to keep from suffocating and getting wind burn. But he does admit this is pretty fun, but as they arrive at thier location he takes a moment to steady himself a bit, "Thanks Hero Girl." he says though now he takes a good look at her. "Underwear?" he asks as he looks to her then shakes his head.

Tre has been to Farleys, well not been inside but knew of the place and as they enter, Tre holds the door open for Hero Girl. He smiles a bit and follows in behind her. He knew who he was looking for and didn't care if the pair got odd looks, Tre was above that now and as they find Kara, he smiles and walks over to her. Though the cig in her hand is a bit disheartening, he let it be for now. "Hey Kara." he says to her as he moves to sit down next to her.

Once they arrive, Liberty unzips the courier bag she's got the cookies in. She digs out a pleated cheerleader skirt and pulls it on before stepping inside. "It is cheap to replace." in reference to the underewear question. Once she's smoothed the skirt and zipped the courier bag back up, she heads for Kara a step behind Tre. While he takes a seat she moves to give her friend a hug, offering her a peck on the cheek before offering Kara's companion a smile, "Hi." then she grabs a seat to join the ensemble.

Kara Zor-El waves. "Hey guys. You know how the whole red kryptonite thing sucked with me being crazy. Especially with not remembering more than a fuzzy recollection of what happened? You know what the one good thing was? Amidst all that fuzziness, there was a feeling of freedom." She leans back in the couch, still holding the cigarette in her hand. "Want anything?"

Tre looks at the guy he gestures for him to leave for the moment, he didn't care who he was but right now wasn't the time for him to be there. He then waits for Libby to finish the hug and Kara to tell them what little good things the Red K did to her. He shakes his head and reaches for her cig and if allowed takes it and puts it out. He then pulls her into a hug and kisses her other cheek. "Ok sighting the good things of the Red K isn't what I was expecting but still what the hell happend between you and your cuz?" he asks as he leans back into the couch and waves over a waitress if there is one. " Liberty settles into the comfy seat and says, "Um sure. Whatever you're having is good." She rubs at her chin as she looks at the cigarette. She shrugs and leaves that topic alone, saying, "I love your outfit. That skirt looks really good on you." After Tre asks his questions, she says, "You don't feel free normally?"

Tre looks at the guy he gestures for him to leave for the moment, he didn't care who he was but right now wasn't the time for him to be there. He then waits for Libby to finish the hug and Kara to tell them what little good things the Red K did to her. He shakes his head and reaches for her cig and if allowed takes it and puts it out. He then pulls her into a hug and kisses her other cheek. "Ok sighting the good things of the Red K isn't what I was expecting but still what the hell happend between you and our cuz?" he asks as he leans back into the couch and waves over a waitress if there is one.

Kara Zor-El smiles at Libby a bit. "Thanks. Course I don't feel free normally. I'm 'Supergirl.'" she says with an exxagerated hand motion. "Got impossible expectations to live up to. Correction. WAS Supergirl. Oh.... took up smoking by the way." She shows off the lit cigarette which she has yet to trym then looks over at Tre. "Oh, I got reamed by my cousin for what I did during that red kryptonite thing. Said I ruined the name of Supergirl and I shouldnt be upset for myself, instead I should be upset for everyone I've let down." She takes a puff from the cigarette.

Then pauses....

Makes a face.... like someone who tasted something really bad.

"Okay... I just quit smoking." She puts out the cigarette in the palm of her hand idly. "Kal's an ass."

"He said what? You are kidding me right? Fudge. I thought your cousin was supposed to be awesome. What an asshole thing to say." She gets up from her seat to give Kara another hug, and with Tre having chased off the dude hitting on Kara, she wiggles down to squeeze next to the Kryptonian. Sheesh, no respect for the girl's personal space, trapping her between Tre and her. "I mean, seriously. You know what that's like? That's like blaming someone for getting mugged. I mean, you were /poisoned/! How can anyone blame you for that? That is just dumb." That was Hero Girl that said all that, who is bad about putting her name into these poses.

Shaking his head and with there being a Kara Sandwhich going on, he wraps an arm about Kara's waist and joins in on the hug. "He is, alright." he says as he shakes his head. "Honestly sounds like he's worried about his own self instead of trying to find out how you were doing Kara." he says looking a bit angry now. "Hero Girl is right, you were poisoned, it's not like he's got a squeaky clean past." Which Superman doesn't. "So what are you going to be doing?" he asks. "I support you in your decisions, but don't leave the team." he says to her. "If you need a break, screw it take it. As your bff, I'm on your side regardless, but...." he sighs as he looks around the bar. Hell if he was doing his damn job she may have not ran into her cousin. "Anyways, glad you given up smoking. It didn't look good on ya and the smell..." he winks, "Would've been pretty bad."

Kara Zor-El flicks the put-out cigarette, and shrugs. "He is. But it is his 'brand name.' Told him he was a hypocrite, considering what he's done. I was actually doing the whole apology thing anyway - apologized to you, to Arsenal, to Captain Marvel... to the bartender. And Starfire made that whole press release. But one thing he's right about. I did give Supergirl a bad name. So I'm just not going to be Supergirl anymore, and my cousin can ... what's the term... suck it. You know the weird thing - on the surface, I did think he was going to come down on me, but in the back of my mind, you know, like subconsciously... I thought he actually was going to try to make me feel better instead of worse and he'd defend me - like even if I -wasn't- dosed and did that, he'd defend me. Turns out my subconscious is stupid."

Liberty frowns and says, "Oh f@$% that noise. What did you do that was so horrible? You kissed some guys, got in a bar fight and whatever? Call me crazy, but that doesn't exactly outweigh all the wonderful things you do. And getting roofied doesn't make you a bad girl - no matter what you did. And hell, doesn't he know you? I mean, I have only got to know you for a little bit and I know you aren't a bad person no matter what that b!#@% Cat Grant says." She shakes her head and sighs, "I can understand being bummed though. I mean, your family is supposed to be on your side. But, hey, your friends know the real deal Kara. Even if you did f@$% up, which you didn't, everyone is allowed to f@$% up. That's part of being a person. We aren't robots."

A waitress does come to the group after a bit of time, and listening to Libby, he smiles a bit. "Hey, you two order something, I will get the tab." he says as he looks to both women. Rubbing the back of his head with his free hand, Tre just seems to be taking in what Liberty says and what he knows of Kara. "People are supposed to learn as much as they can and we mainly learn from making mistakes and messing up." He quickly places his order for a large basket of seasoned fries and a side of chilli and a large Mountain Dew.

Kara Zor-El shrugs. "Thought with Kal it was family first. I know where I stand with him now at least. First is the whole S thing and his moral code. Then family somewhere behind that. Sort of makes sense though. Technically he's only known me for under a year - he was a baby on Krypton after all. He's really a lot like Batman acts. REALLY didnt expect that." She leans forwad and takes the bottle of cream soda to sip it. "Don't worry by the way, been checking my food and drinks with microscopic vision to be safe. Though if someone doses me again, probably first thing I'd do is punch my cousin in the face." She pauses. "Kidding. Probably." She nods a bit at what Libby says. "You know, when HE was dosed with red kryptonite, he declared himself king of Metropolis and almost executed a bunch of people like Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, and Jimmy's supposed to like... be his best friend or something?" She swirls the soda a bit in the bottle. "Cat sucks too. At least she's not family."

Kara Zor-El frowns. "Oh and he said how I should turn myself into the police. And when I told him that they hadnt pressed charges yet, he said it doesn't matter, Kara Zor-El. Yeah. Uses my full name like we're strangers... NICE. It doesn't matter and how I feel doesn't matter, he says, all that matters is how 'they' think of supergirl." She puts out her tongue and goes 'ptthhbbbt.'

Despite having said that she was going to get whatever Kara had, at the sight of the waitress Libby says, "Oh, your biggest mocha with all the shots you can get into it. Like, super sweet please. Like, disgusting sweet. And a brownie, um, two." The blonde puts her arm around Kara, joining in the two sided love being given to Kara. "Well, he doesn't know how to be family I'm guessing. If I run into him I will sure give him a good talking to hon. And I WILL punch him in the nose." She grins at the Kryptonian, "It wouldn't hurt him, but it might make him wake up and smell the coffee. Seriously? Turn yourself into the police? I mean, does he smoke crack? Double-U Tee Eff? Seriously? He has some weird issues. I guess there his cross to bear...but still, that's weird."

Shaking his head at the order Libby puts in, Tre cringes a bit. Too much sweetness for his take but then again he does eat hsi fair share of junk but nothing like that. He nods to the waitress so that she could go get their things. Listening to Kara, he frowns he couldn't see his family doing that to him. Yeah scold him when he's wrong, but don't blame him for something he had no control over.

"Kara, he may not know how to be family but you have friends who consider you family." he says to her. "What do I call you?" he whispers over to Libby now that she is wearing a skirt and not her costume. With her fashion sense in the hero dept a bit off Tre is having a bit of an issue. "But hitting him maybe wouldn't work. He's lived on Earth for his whole life and he should knwo when to be scolding and when to understand and help with guidance." he states. "I feel Kara is right, he's worried about the "S" on his chest and I did read about what he did when he was on Red K." frowning. "Your not turning yourself in, because honestly I don't see them keeping you after Starfire went to bat for you." he says.

Kara Zor-El shrugs as she smudges something in the palm of her hand and gives Libby a little hug back. "Don't go hurting your fist." She looks over at Tre. "'sokay. It's too much pressure anyway and I'm not cut out for it being compared to him. She nudges the floor with her foot where another crumpled up Daily Planet is located. "Obviously. They were pretty forgiving of him in the past, comparatively. He seems to have bought into the hype. Probably justifiably."

Liberty looks over at Tre and chews on her lip for a moment, then shrugs, "I'm Liberty. Or Libby." She is still in 'costume'. Her tee shirt reads Hero on the back, even if the undies marked 'Girl" are covered up by her blue and red cheerleading skirt. "Well, it wouldn't hurt him. But he needs to get a wake up call. You got to love your family. He is a symbol of all that is good, and hey, I get being concerned with that, but the best things about Truth Justice and the American Way are family and friends. Everyone knows Kara is a hero through and through. Only asshats like Cat say otherwise." Then to Kara she says, "Well, if you decide to turn yourself in, I imagine they'd be freaked out." She chuckles, "I mean, they'd already have come to you to ask. It aint like you are hiding at Titans Tower. Everyone in the world knows where you live." At that bit about pressure she gives another squeeze, "Well, you shouldn't compare yourself to him." She digs out her phone and after a few pushes she shows Kara a screen, "I was making a list of all the people's lives you saved. Take a look." It's an article she's working on, with a huge list of names. "I think all these people would say Cat is wrong. The world nees Supergirl."

Moving his arm from Kara's waist, Tre folds his arm across his chest and just looks out at the rest of the bar, watching the people go about their way. He looks back to the two women and smiles a little. "Alright Libby." he says. "You're not him and shouldn't be compared to him. You are you and no one can tell you any different. Maybe now with the break you can figure out what YOU want to do, Kara." Tre studies her blue eyes for a long moment and then takes her hand. Having heard Liberty speak about family and friends and how the world needs Supergirl. "You've done much good since being here Kara, hell you were one of the main people in my life who've helped me." he chuckles.

"Remember the Lincoln Boyz?" he asks. "You were more mad at me for getting beaten up and going alone and not asking for help." Tre remembers that moment. "There have been other instances where you were helping me train and a lot of other things.

"Don't let what your cousin said get to you. Screw him, if he wants to be all Hollier then Though let him. Because if he isn't going to talk to you without scolding you or at least letting you know he understands and that he's gone through some of the same things you are going through now" Then scew'em. Let some sense be put into his head and then he can come talk to you." Yup seems like Tre already has the mind to go talk to MISTER Superman along with Libby.

Kara Zor-El smiles a bit. "Thanks. Really guys. But the fact remains that my own cousin doesnt support me and really not sure I can do this stuff when the whole reason I put on the suit was because of him" She gives each of them a hug. "I'm going to head home okay? Talk to you both later?"

Libby gives Kara a hug then nods, "Well, I'll support you in whatever decision you make Kara. Of course. If you feel like doing the beach, call me okay? I was thinking of going tomorrow to catch some sun and relax now that the weather has warmed up some."

Hugging Kara back, "You can still do this despite him." eh says. But he quiets understanding what she means. "Alright, how about a beach gathering tomorrow." he smiles as he looks at Libby. "That sounds pretty chill, and gives us some time to just have some fun and maybe and I can bring Zee with me?" he asks as he looks to Kara for approval. He knows it's about time that he introduces her to Kara. "And I will support you as well. But you already knew that." he smiles to her.

Kara Zor-El shrugs. "If you'd like. See ya later." She takes out some crumpled up money to toss on the table, gets up, and heads out. Yeah she's still glum but hey, got friends. "Hey... let Kory know by the way in case she didnt read the note?"

Libby resists following. She shakes her head as she watches Kara go, then gets out her phone to text something to her Facebook. From there, her assistant will put it on her website. Soon Kara will probably start getting lots of unwanted texts of love on her Facebook account and Cat Grant will get even more hate. That done, the blonde sighs and after adding more sugar to her coffee she says to Tre, "I can't believe her cousin treated her like that. I always thought he was a good guy."

Tre nods his head, "I will. Expect a visit from her, you know she isn't going to let you go just like that either." he smiles. "Take it easy and relax a bit alright?" As Kara leaves, Tre looks over to Libby and just lean back against the couch, granted with the Kara from the Kara sandwhich gone it only leaves the two. He moves closer to Libby and leans back into the couch, "I don't know what his problem is, but he better get his head on straight."

Libby sighs unhappily as she watches Kara depart, then she looks to Tre, "I dunno. I mean, no one can live up to that kind of standard. Not even he can. I mean, he has lots of haters...and maybe he is just trying to protect her from the kind of hate that he's gotten over the years. And the self doubt and stuff that has to come with that kind of power. I mean...I can't even imagine how hard it is to be Kara. I am jealous of her powrs on one hand ya know, but on the other, they would be this amazing curse. She acts like she can hear and see everything all the time. How do you ever relax or have a even halfway normal life with that kind of pressure? Then you've got your sainted cousin making it even harder? That's crazy." She adds even more sugar to her drink, then sucks on it, making a face as she swallows some of the syrup. "I need to figure out how long it would take me to run out to Metropolis."

 Kara Zor-El says, "It's Sugar Girl!"

 Liberty eats bags of sugar. :D

 Tre says, "Damn girl. :)"

It's almost like something from a bad dream but it's not happening to him. Granted Tre has come to face a lot of things he's not wanted to in such a short time. As Libby speaks about how things are between Kara and Kal-El and how hard it is for Kara, he just shakes his head. "I think the biggest thing for Kara is that she needs to not worry about Superman so much, and make her own way. They both are two different people from the same place and yes he's made plenty of mistakes but look where he is now. Kara is still learning, you can't fault her for something like this and Cat, she's just a dumb b!#@% who isn't nowhere near what we are and can't possibly understand the things we've all gone through." His orders of fries come along with this soda and Libby's drink. Taking a deep breath he takes some fries and begins eating.

 Kara Zor-El thinks the main warning on this log will be 'SWEARING!!!!!' Might bleep some stuff :)

Liberty sighs, "It is just frustrating to see someone you respect being given shit over something beyond her control. I mean, I b!#@% and complain about my troubles learning to do this hero stuff and here is one of the biggest heroes on the whole planet being scolded for /nothing/." She gulps at her syrupy coffee then takes a big bite of brownie to cut the sugar. "I guess the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." She shakes her head and after another sigh she says, "Well, it is super cool to meet her, and to meet you too."

"Things will get better, we just need to be there for Kara is all." he says to her. "I know she will bounce back." he does watch Libby as she drinks down the coffee flavored syrup and shudders a bit. "So what do you have planned for the day?" he asks.

"Well, I was going to try working out at Titans Tower. Kara said it was cool for me to drop by whenever and work out as long as I didn't get in your way." A few hurried bites and the brownie is gone, and she's left with slurping on her coffee syrup. "Then I got to meet up with my assistant. She's supposedly got me some new shoes that might last better."

"Well I will let the others know about the arrangement you and Kara have about you training there. You may need a guest pass but still, it should be cool." he says to her. Tre looks a lot more relaxed now, "So tell me...whats with you running around in underwear and a t-shirt?" he asks. "I did catch where the Girl in yoru name is." he grins. "But do you need help wiht a uniform or anything?" he asks.

"Are you good with arts and crafts? Cause I'm not." She digs her phone back out and shows him some of her past attempts at costumes. Girl in Sweats with fabric marker logos...bad. Girl in Jeans with markers and glitter...possibly just as bad. "Jeans were too expensive to experiment much with. I ruin anything I wear after one fight you know? Or even running or jumping normally. The less I wear, the longer it lasts. I do have a custom swimwear place I'm going to try when I've saved up some cash. Minimum order is about 400, which is a big chunk of change on my budget. These.." she lifts her skirt to show off the boyshorts, "Are 12 dollars, and I can do logos and stuff really easy with the program they got online."

Blinking a few times when she flashes him, he shakes his head and glares at those who managed to get a looksy. "Ok lets keep the flashing to a minimum. Your identity should be secrect after all." he has heard what shes said. "So your in need of a few durable things that don't ruin after a fight soo much." he rubs his chin. "As for the costs of things, I know your pain. But let me check a few things out because even in that, your going to be showing a lot more body then you want to." he tells her. Libby is cute but no woman shouldn't be showing off too much of her body especially during a fight. He doesn't mind strippers due to their profession, but if your super heroring, you need to have some clothes that cna last. "I will see what I can help you out with. What is the swimsuit design your wanting designed?" he asks.

 Liberty laughs, "And your on a team with Starfire? HG is way more covered than her

 Tre says, "Yeah, Starfire is an exception."

 Tre chuckles.

 Liberty laughs, "And Supergirl?

 Tre says, "He isn't saying he doesn't like it."

Liberty looks at him askance, "Flashing? I mean, these are /shorts/ I'm wearing. Not French Cut panties or thongs or anything. Which I wear in public too." She shrugs her shoulders at him, "I'm wearing as much as Wonder Woman. Just, not whatever magic stuff she's got to keep her outfit from getting ruined in a fight. I don't think I'm going to find anything that is as tough as my skin that I can even dream of affording. I can barely afford rent and car payments and have enough left over to eat." She slurps on her drink then and says, "Thanks for this by the way. That would have taken the last of my free cash for the week." She flips through some of the stuff on her website, "A girl sent me that one. It is pretty nice don't you think?" Pretty much the same star theme with red white and blue. Simple.

Smirking a little he nods, "I keep forgetting the team I'm on and the people I'm with." he smiles. "Believe me I worry about them, but if they aren't worried, I shouldn't be either." he says simply. "I will admit you all look prett...." he stammers as she mentions wearing thongs and french cut panties. Yes he's a guy so sue him. "Well if you need any help let us know. Are you looking to join up with us?" he says though as he speaks his voice is much lower keeping things only between them. As she shows him the picture of another outfit, "I do like that one." he says as he looks to Liberty. Sizing her up and down, "Oh don't worry about it. How much do you have left to last you for the week?" he asks curiously.

Liberty laughs and reaches over to give him a one armed hug. "Thanks. I also got to think about what is comfortable to wear under clothes too. So, like this is my going out from base outfit." Thus her silly armsleeves, which may or may not be repurposed leg warmers, her socks and her sparkled up shoes. "So, swimsuit tops are sort of hard to wear all the time. A tee shirt is comfortable and I can wear it all the time." As to her finances she shrugs, "Enough for gas and some ramen." She looks embarassed at the state of her finances. The Titans are like gajillionaires, so it is hard to talk about poverty with one of them. "Me? Join the Titans? I..." She looks shocked to even consider it, "Um, well, that would be presumptious. I'm a newbie hero and you guys save the planet all the time."

Tre hugs Liberty back and keeps his arm about her waist when he's done. "Or if you can get a bit of help, have some official Hero Girl T's made for you. I can look into it for you if you like. As for the whole finance thing, I know you feel on that one. I just got an apartment and luckily I got a bit of help from my parents, but I have two jobs and now this hero thing." He smiles as he says that in a low voice. "I can help you out a little so that your not just eating ramen. I like ramen, but eating it everyday isn't all that great." he says to her.

He does watch as Libby seem to be a bit perplexed of him asking her about joining the Titans, "So what, I'm still new. But I've had a lot of good teachers and the majority of my friends are in the Titans. But the thing about joining a group, you have to be dedicated and willing to work hard. If you got the drive I don't see why you couldn't join."

Libby grins and puts her arm back around Tre to as he keeps up his embrace. With a chuckle she says, "Yeah. I got work study, cheerleading, and my internship. I really don't have the room to do another job if I want to *hero*" She looks around before whispering that bit, of course, she's sitting here in her uniform. "Nono. That's nice of you to offer though. You don't even know me. And I like, eat a ton. Like, literally. So I can't eat normal food anyway. Not regularly. Ramen is cheap enough it doesn't take a million dollars for me to fill up." She rubs at her belly with her free hand then shrugs at his talk of the Titans, "Well, I will work out there and maybe one day I'll be good enough to help out or even join. I love Kara and everyone I've met other than her is great too."

Feeling her arm about him, from the looks of these two just two friends enjoying one anothers company. Tre lets out a breath, "Girl thats quite a bit." he laughs. "But then again I was starting to wonder about the cheerleading skirt." Continuing to listen Tre does still want to help, but if she doesn't want the help thats fine too. "Well if you need help, don't be hesitant to ask. Most of us will lend a hand, because sometimes it's hard for the person asking for help to ask, and to be turned down isn't the best." he smiles. "As for training, I don't think you will get to train there all the time but some of it you will. I will again check and see what we can do." Though the biggest thing is hoping that Kara did get permission to allow Libby to use the Gym, but then Starfire and Arsenal are some the two senior members, not Kara. Sighing mentally, he would see what he can do. "Thanks, well we will help you as best we can. Also I know of a few places you can train outside as well. I still use them to do my training as well." he grins.

Liberty gets up off the couch and shakes her hips from side to side, with her fists on her waist. Yep, she's certainly not a stranger to shaking it. "I've got tons of these, and they are cheap to replace. This is sort of a look I was considering too. But I can't get em personalized like I want, and they tear up pretty good. Not as bad as pants though." She sits back down next to Tre and puts her arm about him again, "Well, I wasn't expecting to get to train there at all, but Kara said I could, so...it was really neat to be able to see just how strong and fast I am. Picking up cars would have never let me figure out how strong I was. And forget about running...Kara says she'll be able to help me get so where I can really open up in a city, but I don't think that's going to happen."

Laughing as Libby gets up and shake those hips, he does stare a bit as she shakes it. Well she can move, he will give her that and being a cheerleader on top of it, yup. She will make some guy happy, plus she has a good head on her shoulder. When she sits back down he pulls her back close to him, and as he explained about her look he nods. "Well shirts are easily torn, and honestly at least with finding someone who can make things nice and durable but on the cheap is nice too." Thinking for a long moment, he will talk with Kara and see what they can do to help Hero Girl. Quirking a brow as she tells him how she likes training at their gym, "Well it is pretty impressive and honestly I love it there. "Don't do that." he says. "If Kara says she is going to do something she will, belive me." he says to her. "Right now, that may be something she can use to just get her mind off things. I say at the beach tomorrow bring it up."

"She smiles as they get all cozied up again and she nods, "Well, yeah. The shirts don't last as long as the panties. Everyone shoots for the boobs. But that is better than the face. I can hide any bruises pretty easy there. Kara says her mother made her costume. Can you imagine? She sewed that. It doesn't look like someone made that on a sewing machine. And does she really have only one? I guess she doesn't sweat like I do, because phew...it'd stink bad if I only had one costume to go around." She stretches to grab her drink again, and after slurping on the thick syrup again she shakes her head, "Oh, I trust Kara to help me. I just don't think I can ever do it. Not unless my brain changes. You know? I just go faster than I can see or react to. So, I'm only going to be able to go that fast on a treadmill or maybe the salt flats."

"Well if you got people shooting your boobs then well I know I will be seeing some boob shots in the paper then." he winks at Hero Girl, "Granted I know some guy will be like I want her for a girlfriend." he tells her. "Well anyways, you just need to get away before too many boob shots are taking and also don't be afraid to use your abilities. If you have them and you know that they can help you, then use them. Becuase if your goign to be working on the streets, these gang bangers aren't going to not shoot you just because your a woman." he sighs a little, "I've seen them try to rape women and it's just not a good look." he tells her. But getting back on topic, he smiles, "Well yeah getting all sweaty isn't my idea of fun, but then again it shows that we've been working." Grinning and still he closes his eyes as she drinks her syrup. "I may be able to help you as well. With yoru reactions and speed I mean." he says figuring martial arts has been helping Kara and Solarflare.

"My boobs have already been in the papers and on the internet. Though a reputable news organization blurs them out of course." She shrugs at him and leans back into the couch, stretching her long legs out in front of her. "I like getting sweaty. I like being busy. I don't like being sweaty when I'm not doing stuff I suppose. That's what showers are for. And I don't expect anyone not to shoot me because I'm a woman. I mean, that's sort of the deal when you become a hero. You got to accept the fact people are going to try their best to hurt you. Heck, people that might not hurt a normal person are going to try and hurt me. That's how it goes." She slurps at her coffee, then shakes the mud at the bottom around before slurping again, luckily she's strong enough to draw the thick nasty mud up the straw. "Yeah? Well, any help is helpful. But, you know, I just aint sure that the physiology of my brain is capable of registering what my body can do."

Shrugging a little, and seeing that she isn't shy which is a good thing. "Well thats cool if they aren't showing off your chest. ANd I wasn't meaning anything about the whole shooting thing. Some people just get off trying to see if they can hurt a powered being is all." eh tells her. "Me on the other hand, I'm not powered like you, or Kara is. I'm just a martial artist who is good at what he does." eh grins. As the talk about sweat continues he shakes his head, "Well sweating and not doing nothing is pretty bad, I have a friend who gets sweaty just by sitting and watching t.v." he laughs. "He's a good guy, but just sweats. I think it's a medical issue. And well fighting, working out and teaching." he names off a few things, "Is what I do. I teach kung fu at the rec center, and the others well you know why." hence the whole conversation is revolving around hero work. As she speaks about her mind not being able to handle what her body does. "Well if you can get yourself in that right frame of mind you can. Again I can maybe help there, but Kara, Starfire may be other good people for you to do a lot of your training with as well." Leaning back as well, "SO what do you have planned for the rest of the day?" he asks.

"Yeah, but you don't stop sweating the second you stop working out. That's what I'm talking about. I sweat, but I don't like hanging out once I'm done with the sweating." Libby laughs and says, "How did we start talking about being sweaty?" She leans against him, giving a light push, "Yeah? Well, I know some karate, and I'd be happy to try out kung fu I guess. But really, I don't think you get it. I don't think any amount of training would let someone drive a car through an obstacle course at six hundred miles an hour. It is just too fast. But I am going to guess I can go faster than what I'm doing right now." In answer to his final question she laughs, "Same thing I was planning before, though now I've added, "Hang out with Tre" to the start of it. That may or may not go with the work out at Titans Tower thing."

Shaking his head, "Oh. Hell I don't like hanging out after working out or fighting either. I have to get a shower or a bath." he laughs. "Granted I do enjoy taking baths." he chcukles a little. "Well you started it." he grins. As she leans against him, he just leans against the couch a bit. Though as she tries to explain again what she was meaning, it slowly dawns on him what she meant, "Oh. Well in that case I see what you mean. But still anything to help will help sooner or later." Tre has been enjoying getting to know Libby, she is a pretty cool girl. He smiles, "Well hanging out with Tre is always a good thing, ask Kara." he laughs. "But I need to go, got to get ready for tonight." he smiles. He does reach over and hugs Libby, then gently moves her so he can get up. "Well tomorrow beach and Operation: Commence making Kara happy is a go." he grins and bows his head. "It was fun getting to meet you Libby, and classes will start soon." and with that he waves.

Libby hugs Tre back, then stands up as he does, "It was. It was great getting to know you. I can see why Kara talks so highly of you." She gives him another hug, then grabs her bag. She heads for the door, but lets him get it, then she will follow him outside. "Kara needs to get some happy, that's for sure. So, I look forward to seeing you. You need a lift anyplace?"

Blinking it was nice to be talked abotu in good way. "Nah I'm good. THanks, take it easy Libby." he says as he begins walking down the street.
