Just as Ves had finished speaking she heard a voice come from behind her. It took the gears in her head a minute to realize that it was an insult. She began biting the corner of her thumb once more, pointing her head to the floor and instead opting to just move her eyes to look at people talking rather than moving her head completely. [color=Aquamarine]"I didn't really mean it like tha-"[/color] She managed to squeak out, barely audible to anyone but a dog. She was interrupted by, Bolin, stopping the argument before it had even begun. Ves was glad that it hadn't spiralled into something more, and was even more glad that she didn't have to be the one to stop it. Her question was answered by Batman, explaining that she would work as a bouncer at a place called [i]'The Iceberg Lounge'[/i]. To be frank, she didn't exactly know what a bouncer was, but she felt she'd already made a fool of herself today and made a mental note to find out later. [hr] [i][u][b]Several days later[/b][/u][/i] It had been a while since the team's second meeting, and Ves had really come out of her shell. Actually getting to know her new teammates increased her confidence tenfold and while she still had bouts of anxiety, she felt a lot more free to speak her mind than before. Especially since the others had gotten use to her naivety as it were. Ves was standing in the kitchen, attempting to make a sandwich. Her main problem was that she kept pressing down too hard while spreading the jam, and would end up slicing right through the bread or scraping jam along the table. Earphones played the sounds of [i]'ABC'[/i] into her ears as she moved onto her sixth try. She hummed along to the tune of 'Poison Arrow' as she failed once more to spread jam on bread. [hr] Chester spent the first several days getting some hard training in, deciding to start lifting weights and getting in some basic combat practice. He had little to no training in the field of armed or unarmed fighting, which was something he would have to rectify if he was going to keep up with his work as a hero. During these days of training he had realized just how unprepared he had been for their encounter with Deadshot and Multiplex. Chester didn't like how he had just rushed ahead with trying to be a hero before properly preparing himself first, and now Robin was dead. He felt his depression start rise again and he needed to find something to take his mind away from the tragic memories. While he wandered around looking for something or someone to take his mind off the depressing thoughts, Chester saw the very tall Ves and he walked over to start up a conversation. [color=IndianRed]"Hi, so what are you doing right now? I was thinking about going to do some training and wouldn't mind some company"[/color] he asked the Amazon. Chester remembered his joke that he made about her and wondered if she still remembers it. Even though he didn't show it, the last thing he wanted was a salty training session. [hr] Ves got a jolt when Chester snuck up behind her and began talking. She turned to him, taking out her earphones and hearing the most part of the sentence. She took off her beloved cap, scratched the side of her head and was about to answer before Caitlyn came in and answered for her. [hr] Caitlyn was having a hard time adjusting to having indisposable team mates she had to trust and coordinate with. This wasn't the streets anymore, but her tuff girl act was one she couldn't retire just yet, it had kept her safe so far. Her attitude was putting barriers between her and other members of the team so she'd have to reign it in, transition from agent provocateur to playful windup merchant. Playful. She shuddered thinking about showing such weakness. She hadn't suspected such a giant change as she worked her way up the social ladder. Bug wasn't finished cleaning up the inside of the kitchen's trash can and was reluctant to give it up so it came too as Caitlyn left for the gymnasium's lounge. Training was usually Caitlyn's excuse to go put a VR headset on, her venom was not to be played with. As much as she wanted to spar with the rest, leaving them incapacitated was a risk she wasn't willing to take, not until they'd at least finished knives with Batman. [color=Orange]"We could do something besides train all day, I mean we've been doing it 5 days straight"[/color] [hr] Ves put her hat back on before replying to both of them. [color=Aquamarine]"I think I agree with, Caitlyn, to be honest I'm much more interested in these [i]Vid-eyoh games[/i] I heard, Sassy talking about"[/color] She said, mispronouncing video games so badly that it would have made Jack Thompson cringe. She desperately tried to hide her numerous failed attempts behind her back, although the jam spread all over the bunker was a different situation all together. [hr] Chester waited, but wasn't expecting for Caitlyn to come and respond to his question and pointed out that they had been training for several days already. She did have a point, maybe a little fun would help him feel less anxious and cheer him up. He chuckled at Ves' pronunciation of video game, clearly Themyscira wasn't too into video games from the look of it. [color=IndianRed]"What do you want to play, Ves?"[/color] he asked her curious to hear her answer, that is unless she didn't know any games. [hr] Ves thought for a moment, resting her chin on her knuckles. [color=Aquamarine]"Ehm"[/color] She thought, straining all of her mental energy into remembering something she had heard in a prior conversation that she wasn't even involved in. [color=Aquamarine]"The Smack Brothers?"[/color] She asked, unsure if that actually even existed.
