Titans East: United We Stand

<Snipped quote by ReaptheMusic>

Kaldur'ahm rushed out of his quarters--clearly frustrated and offended, "Who the hell went through my porn stash?!" But deep down he knew damn well who had done it... he clenched his fists and then shouted loudly as he collapsed to his knees.

"QUERY YOU BASTARD!"

@Alan Hawke

Query finding out that Kaldur watches The Little Mermaid parody will change things forever. He'd start randomly singing songs from the movie whenever he's around him.

If you guys want to tell me things I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Titans East: United We Stand

Query's words seemed to spark questions, jokes, and denial. Just what conspiracy tended to bring about. He turned to Marcus who was sitting on the couch and watching TV. He asked him if he was joking or not since he couldn't really tell. He understood why. Query's sense of humor was unique. "Sarcasm with a dash of seriousness." He said matter-of-factly. He eyed the Green Lantern or Atlas as he called himself. A name like that showed the type of ego the guy had. Naming himself after the Titan who carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. That's not why he was eyeing him though. He was wondering what he would be able to do if he ever got that ring of his on his finger. With it he was sure that he would be able to expose this whole conspiracy. Power didn't mean much to Q. Hell, he didn't even fear those with powers. He knew that some could break him within a second, but he wasn't opposed to calling their bluff. Even if they were villains.

He looked at the cat as it nestled it up against his thigh. He didn't budge though and just stared at it before Aria started talking. When she finished he calmly said, "I doubt it. I'm more of a dog person."

Next was Kaldur with his joke. It was an interesting thought so he decided to play along. He may have spent his time working on mysteries and conspiracy, but he also used to play games. "Yes... swooping is bad." The others continued to talk and even Julian shot down the Illuminati angle.

"I was actually referring to the Egyptian Illuminati. Way back when. This new age Illuminati is a cover for something else. They wouldn't be able to do much if the whole world knew about them. That's why they did nothing to prevent the populace of talking about it. It helps them." He had discovered all of this long ago. Back when he first started tailing the original Question. "But enough conspiracy talk. I don't want you heading to the loony bin with me."

He then realized that this is the most that the team might have talked and joked around with each other since they started becoming a team. He may have inadvertently helped them already. He started humming the tune to a pop song and headed over to the fridge despite not even wanting anything to eat or drink anymore. He just wanted to see what they had in there for later. After browsing the contents of the fridge he made his way over to the couch.

He stopped humming by the time he got there and stared at the TV. In reality he was piecing together different connections in his mind. He was still working on the big case that took priority over the one passed down by his mentor. He knew that there had to be more to his death than cancer. If anyone was going to find out it was going to be him.

@King KindredHey, is the little insert cool for you? I figure since you mention Q going through everyone's shit that little inserts like that might help even if the info is relatively useless.

@ReaptheMusic

Perfect. Thank you for that. It actually helps when thinking of things to write with him. I should get another post up soon.

Don't do it. He'll shower you in Lexcorp money that he by all means has 100% legal claim to. :B

@Hillan

Q will take that shower money and use it to get better equipment. Those 32 flavors won't take pictures of themselves.

Titans East: United We Stand

I'll wait before posting again. Then Julian and Kid Q could have an IQ-Off.

Titans East: United We Stand

Thank you. Read 4 issues of The Question before I wrote that one.

Titans East: United We Stand

Query sat at his desk in his room typing away at his laptop. He was searching for some things. Whether or not these searches were legal mattered not to him. He made sure to make the things he did as untraceable as possible. It'd require someone with a similar intellect to his to even get a start on it. "Almost done..." There was both an empty cup and a pot on the desk near the laptop. It was clear that they both used to contain coffee. Currently his mask was off and was actually sitting on the desk as well. He lifted a doughnut off of a paper towel and placed it in his mouth. He chewed and chewed, but still didn't stop typing.

"And done." He finally commented. "Interesting. Very interesting." He started to download whatever he found and lifted the cup to his mouth and noticed that there was nothing left inside. He put the cup down and grabbed his mask and stepped over a pile of trash on the floor. The trash wasn't his of course. He was much neater with his own belongings. The trash belonged to some of the other members on the team. He didn't consider himself a klepto. He considered himself an investigator. He had been on the team for a while now. He didn't consider himself close to them, but he knew a lot about them just by the contents of their trash. You can learn a lot about a man or woman by their trash. He of course didn't enter their rooms when they were in there. That would've been way too tricky. How would you react if you woke up to see someone digging through your trash can?

Q left his room and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He used fluoride free tooth paste. He didn't trust the dental industry and its connection to "The Conspiracy". He started brushing his teeth and was almost done when he heard the alarm. He was in no rush though. He figured that it wasn't a big crisis that they'd have to handle quickly. After the West Coast team had to deal with Lobo there was no way they would have to deal with something big unless there was someone overlooking their life and putting them into dangerous situations just because they were a group of trainee heroes. Now that would be ridiculous.

He finished brushing when Mal told them it was a false alarm. He put up his toothbrush and toothpaste and started heading into the hall. He put on his mask and used the chemical gas to stick it on while also changing the color of his hair and clothes. He still didn't trust the team enough to reveal what he looked like or even what his real name was. He even told them that they could call him Dick in reference to Dick Tracy. He also told them they could call him Richard if they were uncomfortable with Dick. Other than that he would like them to call him Query unless they were close to him like the Huntress and Montoya were. They knew what he looked like under the mask. It was up to them to figure out his identity.

He arrived in the kitchen just after Aria asked if her new cat was cute. "If by cute you mean evil creature used by the Illuminati, then yes. Down right adorable."

Aria, T'haam, and Julian were in the kitchen. If they looked down enough at his shoes they would notice that his laces had their aglets. He didn't know why he had come in here anymore. Originally it was to get some more coffee, but now that he had his mask on he wondered if there was even any point to it anymore. He didn't very much feel like taking it off again and putting it back on. It wasn't a broken iPhone.

Please don't kill the cat because it's illuminati

@Experiment 249

The fact that I was going to connect the cat to the Illuminati in my post.

Titans East: United We Stand

Planning on getting a post in soon. Will probably be started within the hour or next.
