Jai was somewhat depressed at the idea of going back to school next week, though he would be glad to see his friends again. He'd also signed up to tutor mat this year and he'd find out who his "student" would be not long into the school year. No sports, of course, because of his powers. He also had to make sure Irey didn't find her present until their birthday.

Thinking about all of these things kept his mind off his largest worry, the one that had eaten away at him all summer long: Traya was going to college, with college classes, college parties, and college activities.

Worst of all, there would be college guys.

It wouldn't be hard for him to see her when he wanted, but they'd both agreed to enjoy the summer (which they had, by God) and see where things went from there. What if she'd changed her mind about him? What if she wanted to explore college and everything it had to offer.

Finally, the wondering got too intense and Jai had to get things out in the open. He whipped out his phone and fired of a text.

Hey, u free?

Tim calls Marissa into the living room and indicates that she needs to take a seat on the couch. He's wearing his workout gear, and he doesn't look happy about whatever he's about to say, but he knows it needs to be said.

"Hey, kid. We need to talk about you and Gotham." Tim says, sitting down with her.

Lian had called in a favor to Uncle Ollie after her and the others had driven off her mother. Since she HAD saved his life (and the lives of his board members), not to mention that she may have dropped that she was starting a team and needed someplace for them to meet that WASN'T a rooftop, Ollie had given the Outsiders an old warehouse that he was no longer using for Queen Industries. Not to mention that she'd called a couple favors in with her "aunts and uncles".

So in other words- the Outsiders had one TRICKED OUT HQ.

Uncle Vic supplied the security system. Which meant that no one could really break in without them knowing...and without feeling really stupid about even THINKING to break in.

Dad had called in a couple of favors with the JLA and gotten them a fully stocked workout room, capable of catering to the team's various needs.

Uncle Ollie provided the means to refurbish the warehouse to include a kitchen, lounge (complete with a nice home theater system), and bedrooms in case anyone needed to crash overnight. While she didn't expect anyone to move in, as several of them (including her) had lives outside of the team, they at least had a place to stay if they needed it.

Lian wasn't wearing her costume. She'd told the team who she was. Her mask wasn't needed here. She'd commed them earlier and told them that the new headquarters was all set and the Outsiders were go.

Lian poured herself a glass of water and made her way into the lounge area.
