♡ with [color=CornflowerBlue]Alisa (Cybergirl)[/color] and [color=ec008c]Aleen'a (Brightheart)[/color] ♡ 
Location: Cafeteria, Metahuman Youth Center[/center][hr]
[color=CornflowerBlue][i]Eena…[/i][/color] Alisa barely held back a giggle when she heard Aleen’a’s fake name. She grabbed a tray and followed Cecile and “Eena” into the line. Alisa wasn’t sure that she wanted to eat, but it might help her identity to be seen eating. Maybe just a bit of nachos. 

[color=skyblue]“That it is much safer?”[/color] Cecile briefly grimaced before feigning a warm smile. [color=skyblue]“Of course it is! Especially for us! I mean…”[/color] Upon realizing she misspoke, Cecile averted her gaze with a nervous laugh. Sure, it was safe… but only for the girls since they weren't being kidnapped. 

Aleen’a looked at Cecile and then at the other teenagers within the cafeteria. [color=ec008c]“I am aware that we have just met today but you must understand. Our life… We have been running from danger ever since, trying to find a place where we can feel truly at peace.”[/color] She carefully took the human’s hands and wrapped her hands around Cecile’s. [color=ec008c]“You have invited us into your home. Let us help you defend it.”[/color]

Alisa laughed, shaky, and grabbed Aleen’a’s arm. Oh, why did she have to blow their cover by saying something [i]so weird[/i]? And now Cecile was judging both of them with that uneasy smile of hers.

[color=CornflowerBlue]“What Eena [i]means[/i] to say is…”[/color] Alisa scrambled for an appropriate save. [color=CornflowerBlue]“We heard about the [i]kidnappings[/i]-”[/color] she stage-whispered that word- [color=CornflowerBlue]“and we, um, well… can I trust you with something super, extra secret, Cecile? Cross your heart and swear to die? Maybe we should talk in private…”[/color] Alisa had a nuts idea, but maybe it could get them even closer to the truth. 

[Color=skyblue]“Uhhh…”[/color] Cecile looked between Aleen'a and Alisa with slight concern. Her hands were still in Aleen'a's which only made the whole situation feel even more awkward. [Color=skyblue]“A secret that has to do with the kidnappings?”[/color] Cecile questioned with a raised eyebrow. It wasn't the best icebreaker, but Cecile appeared interested enough. [Color=skyblue]“Okay… we can sit over there.”[/color] She pointed to a vacant table in the corner of the cafeteria. 

As they walked to the tables, Alisa pulled Aleen’a to the side. She whispered in her ear, [color=CornflowerBlue] “I have an idea. I can’t explain it but just go with it. I promise it makes sense.”[/color]

Ale looked at Alisa then at Cecile, then back at Alisa again. [color=ec008c]”Yes. I trust you. Whatever shall help us with the mission.”[/color] She said before she followed both of them to get their food.

Once the three received their helping of nachos and toppings, they took the available seats at the table pointed out by Cecile. 

[color=CornflowerBlue]“So.”[/color] Alisa sat down with her tray across from Cecile, not touching the food. [color=CornflowerBlue] “You swear not to tell anyone?”[/color] At Cecile’s nod, Alisa soldiered on. [color=CornflowerBlue]“We’re not [i]actually[/i] residents here. We’re, erm, metahuman vigilantes trying to investigate the kidnappings. And we think [i]you[/i] could help us. Right, Eena?”[/color] Alisa whispered and nudged Aleen’a to corroborate her story.

[color=skyblue]“You’re…metahuman vigilantes…”[/color] Cecile stared blankly at the two. 

Aleen'a looked at Alisa with a bit of shock on her face. She thought this was supposed to be a secret mission but her friend already admitted everything to one of them. Granted she didn’t actually [i]say[/i] who they were exactly but still, it was a very huge risk that she took. Yet Cecile suddenly perked with a smile.

[color=skyblue]“You lie! Come on are you two serious?!”[/color] Cecile noticed she was speaking a tad too loud and cupped her mouth with both hands before leaning forward to whisper. [color=skyblue]“Don’t freak out but… I’m also a metahuman vigilante trying to investigate the kidnappings! We should definitely team up! Plus, two girls on the same team! I like the guys I’m with but jeez it sucks to be the only girl. I am always trying to tell them that the whole voting system we have isn’t fair with only- sorry I’m blabbing. Sorry. I- Anyway, what’s your team name? Wait, are you part of the Titans?!”[/color] 

Aleen'a was about to say something but much to her surprise, Cecile admitted that she too was trying to investigate the kidnappings as well. Was she lying or was she actually telling the truth? It was hard to hone in on Cecile’s emotions when Aleen’a's psyche was all over the place too. Nevertheless, the Tamaranean gave Alisa her word and she would trust the judgment of her friend.

[color=ec008c]“I am sorry but… We have no knowledge of these ‘Titans’ that you speak of.”[/color] Aleen'a said. [color=ec008c]“Just know that this mission means so much to us just as it means to you too. We will do everything in our power to make sure these kids are safe and well…”[/color] She glanced down at the nachos that were just oozing with all these different kinds of toppings. She took one that was mostly covered in them and ate it. 

Alisa didn’t bother to smother the shocked look on her face. There was [i]no way[/i] she had guessed that. Was Cecile fucking with her, or were there really two teenage superhero teams running around this center? [color=CornflowerBlue] “Wow, that’s awesome. Your team name first! Who else is in on it?”[/color]

[color=skyblue]“Our team name…”[/color] Cecile averted her gaze nervously before sighing. [color=skyblue]“Omen… Trust me, I know it sucks but I was outvoted. The boys always win when it comes to anything creative. Like, do I look like an edge-lord? [i]Omen[/i],”[/color] she rolled her eyes as she mocked the name.

[color=ec008c]“Omen…”[/color] Aleen’a quietly repeated to herself. This made no sense. They should have been briefed that there was another team involved in the investigation of the missing teens. It was highly unlikely of the Justice League to hide such information from their team that would be of great help to their mission. Was it possible Cecile was speaking the truth or was it all just a ruse to trick them? It’s highly unlikely Cecile would admit to who they were working for as well because Aleen’a and her teammates would never disclose such important information. Not only could it jeopardize the mission, but it could also endanger the kidnapped teens.

[color=ec008c]“Our team is called… The Outsiders.”[/color] She said, glancing at Alisa before continuing. [color=ec008c]“We are all outcasts of our home, outsiders to our own community. We became the Outsiders in the hopes that no one would feel like one again as long as we are here.”[/color] Aleen’a ate another nacho chip before sighing. Cecile raised an eyebrow. She wasn’t fond of that name either. At least it had a decent explanation to go with it.

[color=Cornflowerblue] “Yes! Yes. The Outsiders!”[/color] Alisa beamed. [color=CornflowerBlue]“Omen’s not that bad, and ours is a little edgy too.”[/color] She took another chip, chewing on it slowly and glancing at Aleen’a. The poor girl looked stunned. She’d have to explain later.

[color=skyblue]“I wasn’t going to admit that.”[/color] She smiled as she finally took a chip for herself.

Well, she’d have to [i]come up[/i] with an explanation later. Alisa herself wasn’t entirely sure what she’d gotten them into. [color=CornflowerBlue]“So? Should we collaborate? Try to find all the missing boys?”[/color]

[color=skyblue]“I can’t imagine going forward any other way! A team-up. You get your people, and I’ll get mine… After nachos of course.”[/color] Cecile appeared as if the excitement might jump off of her. [color=skyblue][i]This is going to be AWESOME![/i][/color]
