 [color=darkviolet]“Oh, so you can talk. Good to know.”[/color] He shrugged his shoulders. [color=darkviolet]“I don’t know when the next mission will be. I’m sure Red will give us something when it’s time. In the meantime, chill. Relax a little. You just got here. Don’t worry about missions and stuff until the time comes. K?”[/color]

Talon was about to respond to the formally dressed boy before suddenly he was up in smoke. Theatricality and deception. Gone. Talon looked over towards the elevator, watched the illuminated numbers blink as it moved to the next floor.

[i]Chill. Relax.[/i]

Talon sighed. Already he felt he was doing the wrong things. At first, Talon was embarrassed at this, wondered if he would be alienated right from the jump. Othered. Coming from a group of people including actual ghosts and androids, you'd think it would be easier for someone like himself to relax. But he was burdened with his true self. He wasn't sure how to relax. He knew how to fight, he knew how to compete, to train. But those hobbies were all he'd ever known in the past. His life was nothing but trials up until a few months ago. Dick and Barbara had promised him he'd be able to become his own person. They pitched to him that joining a team like this would push Talon into growing. But was that really what it was? Or was he just being shirked aside, tossed over to the kids table to make nice? Talon didn't notice that he had balled his hands into fists. He could feel himself beginning to seethe, a familiar desire to lash out started to pulse its way through him.

And then Felix introduced himself.

The boy reached out to Talon with his hand extended. He flashed a smile at Talon that he couldn't help but return. Talon hadn't had much interaction with someone so immediately charismatic. Jack didn't even realize he was shaking the boys hand until Felix let go. His hero name was Gold Rush. Talon had seen him on TV before. Barbara encouraged Talon to watch TV and try and keep up with Social Media in order to live a more normal childhood. Although he couldn't get a grasp on Social Media, he had taken to TV and Movies quite fast. It was the magnetism of Booster Gold and his sidekick Gold Rush that particularly stood out to him. Talon had come from a pretty bleak world view, fought alongside and against heroes who otherwise would have been considered dark and violent.

But Booster Gold and his partner made it all seem...[i]fun.[/i]

[color=9e0b0f]"Talon."[/color] Was all the poor kid could get out at first.

[color=9e0b0f]"This is my first day here. It's a little overwhelming. I've never been on a team before. I'm not sure I know how to do it."[/color] Talon looked past Felix and to his mentor Nightwing, who was too busy conversing on his League Communicator to notice his protege was interacting with the others. Or at least one of the others. Talon looked back to Felix and felt himself speaking more now than he had in some time. He was also unconsciously signing every other word or so, out of habit.

[color=9e0b0f]"I don't see Red Tornado. Should I wait for him here or?"[/color] Talon gestured to the elevator that lead further into the base. He had lost sight of the others who had appeared - the boy in the headphones, the young girl on the phone. Should he follow them and try to find them? There was so much he already wanted to see at the base, but knew that Dick would prefer he meet the others first.
