"Well. That was, well, different. Yup." Stephanie waves her thanks to the nice person who gave her the lift. At least Kansas is better then Canada.

Speaking of Kansas:

Robin takes a good look at the farm area. This place looks all right at the first glance. Then she notices the bunker. Then the castle/ship thing. She doesn't let her jaw drop. No, she's seen plenty in her time, this is nothing, right? Right.

But Stephanie is a girl to make the best of it! She will soldier on! And her first stop, is to try and find where Babs is, and maybe get this whole thing explained.
alwaysroomforhope: (*wtf*)

Actually, technically, her first step is to be stared at.

By a girl a couple years older than she is, but with the same ...

... well, the same everything else.

No, everything.

Steph straightens up from working in the front garden, eyes huge and face absolutely blank with shock.

"...Jesus."




It's sort of like hello, in a way?
alwaysroomforhope: (omg no wai.)

"You're Robin," Steph breathes, and shakes her head, hard, as if to dislodge the pure weird of this situation.

"... holy shit, that is cool."
alwaysroomforhope: (i'm not sure i approve)

This Steph is doing much the same, arms folded and eyes wide as she stares at herself.

The other her is younger, so much younger. Was she ever that young? Not much shorter. Steph's hardly grown at all in the past two years, though, so that's not surprising. Stupid gymnastics. This Steph's taller, a little thinner, carries herself with a confidence she didn't have at sixteen.

But ... the other one is Robin.

Dude.

She got to be Robin.

... dude.

"...no," she manages eventually, still staring. "I haven't been to Gotham since I was, like, sixteen. Years ago."
alwaysroomforhope: (dropping her eyes)

"...yeah," Steph says quietly, unconsciously mirroring the gesture.

"I tried to find her. First thing, when we got to this world.

... I was -- uh, we were ... never born here. Dad hit Mom once too often when she was pregnant."

It's not embarrassing to tell that to Steph, because -- it's herself. She doesn't need to cringe the way she had admitting it to Sokka.
alwaysroomforhope: (sad and determined)

[personal profile] alwaysroomforhope 2008-06-10 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I did." Steph looks away. "It was better that way."
alwaysroomforhope: (rubbing back of neck)

[personal profile] alwaysroomforhope 2008-06-10 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Steph says, seriously. "We did."

Beat.

"... you know, Sokka's going to laugh his head off when he sees you."
alwaysroomforhope: (biting lip shy)

"My best friend," Steph says, with a look that means, in very specialised Steph-language: and only my best friend, unfortunately, since I'm kind of totally head-over-heels in love with him, but if you dare say a word I'll punch you through the wall even if you are wearing my face.

"I met him in the first world I fell into -- couple of years ago. He's pretty awesome."

"Only when Tim wasn't looking," Steph says, reaching eagerly. She hasn't had a chance to play with new toys for so long. "Dude. I still can't believe I got to be Robin.

"I am so awesome."

Steph catches it and grins, tossing it up and down in her hands.

"Any special tricks to throwing it? I've gotten really good at 'rangs, long-distance 'specially -- from training with Sokka. He can throw a boomerang and, like, knock a flea off a running dog without touching a hair of it, I swear. I'm not that good yet... but don't tell him I told you so."

Beam!

Steph grins.

Be Robin.

That's something she can totally do.

She hefts the 'rang once or twice, testing balance.

Deep breath; and then the 'rang takes flight, soaring up and over the farmhouse, and snicks a flowerbud neatly off a tree behind before almost drifting back to Steph's hand as lightly as a ghost.

"... shit, this thing is awesome," she breathes happily.

"I know, I borrowed one from Babs." Steph grins. "Well, by 'borrowed' I mean, uh, requisitioned. I took Sokka to Metropolis and we spent, like, three hours just jumplining. That was so awesome."

"Yeah, it's in Kansas, how crazy is that?"





... grin!

"Oh, man, I really hope you're thinking what I'm thinking, little-me."
alwaysroomforhope: (cute little smile)

"You're definitely the little one," Steph says, stretching to her full height and giggling. ... okay, so there's maybe a couple centimetres between them, but those are important centimetres!

"Don't worry, you'll grow."
