The Roof, Thursday Night

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Sure, it was cold out. And sure, it was dark. And kinda uncomfortable come to think of it.

Tony frowned at his seat on the edge of the roof, already starting to think of a way to make the roof heated. Because that wasn't going to be a bad idea that would end with whatever he created gaining sentience and trying to kill him.

Really.

But, for now, it was sulky emo thoughtful brooding. Take that Bruce Wayne.

[[Open roof is open!]]

She wasn't out on a practice patrol or anything like that, but somehow Stephanie ended up on the roof anyway; she could appreciate the view (if not the cold) without being on duty, right?

Spotting a figure lurking at the edge of the roof, she made her way over, calling out, "Hey," as she approached.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

He was totally not lurking. Lurking would imply the ability to blend into the shadows or being a creeper.

And Tony was fail at that, as he was at many non-technology related things.

"Hey," he replied with a small nod in her direction.

[batwaffles.livejournal.com]

And this was why she didn't consider him spooky. This was a good thing.

"Tony?" she asked, once she got close enough to recognize him. "It's a little cold to be sitting out here."

Because obviously you couldn't sit on a roof to brood without a cape on.

"Hey, uh..." Bobby floundered for a few seconds, trying to remember the girl's name. "...You," he finally finished.

"You're in Tight Situations," Stephanie remembered (woo, observational skills practice!), snapping her fingers as she waved at him. "The class, not a comment on your habits. But I can't remember your name, either."

. . . more practice was obviously needed.

Karla recognized the other female from Support Services. She was new this semester, but had seemed fairly friendly. And unshaken by any Fandom weird. Not that there'd been much recently.

Oh. And a class, too, maybe. "Kiss kiss," Karla said, giving her a nod. "Stephanie, right?"

[batwaffles.livejournal.com]

"That's me," Stephanie confirmed, half her face scrunching up in momentary confusion (yes, that was basically a o.O) at the greeting. "You're Karla, right?"

. . . this roof was getting surprisingly popular.

Hey, there was a new girl.

A new blonde girl, but Roy was not drawing that connection. "Hi," he said, approaching with a cocksure grin because: new girl. "I'm Roy."

[batwaffles.livejournal.com]

The costume made her hair inexplicably five times bigger. That was the trick.

Oh, look, it was Roy with the bow and arrows and she had to act like she didn't know that, and wow, that made introductions awkward, didn't it?

"Stephanie," she replied, suppressing an internal snicker at the grin. "Hi, Roy. Nice to meet you." Again. Hee.

Bobby was still a little shaken by... whatever the hell had just happened at the bowling alley. Shaken and, well, kinda broody himself as a matter of fact.

Which, naturally, led to the roof. Although he had no complaints about the cold.

"Hey," Bobby nodded a greeting, sitting down with his legs dangling over the edge.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Bowling alleys were dangerous places? But now roofs were too. Two non-teammate Marvel characters in the same area?

Smells like a team up!

"Hey," Tony replied nodding back. "You're in Home Ec."

Very astute, Tony.

[longislandiceme]

"Yep." Bobby nodded. "Still. And you're not a cyborg. Or so you say."

[exspeedydotcom]

"Bobby, hey, dude," Roy said. "I feel like I haven't seen you in a while." And, after a careful squint at Bobby, "You okay, bro?"

[longislandiceme]

"...I wish I knew," Bobby said after a minute. "I think a friend of mine... might not be as dead as we thought she was." Because that'd clear things right up.

That was a goddamn challenge, Tony.

Bruce made his way up to the roof for a quiet night, not at all expecting a quiet night because the roof was never quiet.

"Enjoying the night air?" he asked.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Goddamn it, Bruce. Goddamn it.

"It's colder than I expected," Tony admitted. "I probably should have worn a sweater."

[exspeedydotcom]

Bruce was hanging out on the roof. This struck Roy as ironic, or possibly he was misusing 'irony.' He wasn't real clear on things like that. What he was clear on was not being rude, so he said, "Hey, Bruce, how's it hanging?"

[glacial_queen]

"Bruce," Karla said with a small nod of greeting. "Decided not to engage the teevee tonight?"

Hey, she listened to the radio.

[longislandiceme]

"Yo," Bobby waved. "Bruce, what's up, dude? Aside from... all of us, at any rate."

Seeing Raven at the bowling alley had stirred up a lot of emotions in Karla, mostly of the confused, painful, and guilty variety. Was she alive then? Where was she? What was happening to her? How could they find her again?

Thoughts and emotions awhirl, Karla made her way up to the roof for a bit, hoping that the cold of the night air would help clear her mind a bit.

She wasn't even surprised to find people on the roof by the time she got up there. Not anymore. "Kiss kiss," she called, with a half-hearted wave.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"I'm going to assume that's hello," Tony replied slowly. Look, that was still confusing even after the second time hearing it.

[longislandiceme]

"Hey," Bobby gave her an awkward little wave. Not just because of whatever-the-hell had just happened, but also, well... he had to wonder if Warren had told her anything about what had happened Sunday. It wasn't like he'd exactly had a chance to ask about that before.

[exspeedydotcom]

"One of these days, someone's going to take you up on that," Roy told her.

[exspeedydotcom]

Roy was just going to go sit on the roof for a while. Look, it was better than running around with a bow and arrows, right? Imagine his surprise when he found the place already occupied. "Uh...hey?"

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

...Robin Hood guy. That wasn't awkward or anything.

"Hey." Tony, stop staring. It will probably make Roy get the wrong impression.
