Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

Finee, but those bank robbers are going to be in for a reckoning when they step outside and see the entire team posing above them

You know, I feel we just leave Skeets to deal with those bank robbers and enjoy the film. He totally has it covered

"Gabi-girl! Hey!"

Gabi smile began to fade somewhat once she realized who it was that had entered the lounge behind her. It seemed her plan to avoid Cece had not been all that successful. With the number of people living here, you would think it would be easy to avoid someone if you wanted to. As if on impulse, a small voice in the back of her head began to mutter possible excuses she could make in order to escape this situation, however, before one had even formed, she found a genuine smile escaping her lips as Hayden appeared from behind Cece.

"Hay-hay and I were going to put on a movie, did you want to join us?" Cece stepped further into the room as she spoke, moving towards the remote for the television.

The temptation of turning towards an excuse crossed Gabi’s mind once more at the question, with the doorway looking more and more appealing by the second. She remained still, however, feeling herself nodding in response. If Cece was making the effort to include her, she may as well be amicable. Besides, she had been craving some company and wasn’t about to go sit in the dark by herself again.

“Sure, why not!” She exclaimed. She knew the answer to that ‘why not’ though, and secretly hoped that others would come quickly to help bolster the awkwardness.

However, that awkwardness was only bolstered by more awkwardness, as while eyeing the doors for salvation, found herself locking eyes with Kevin. The fiery boxer stood just within the kitchen, noodles dripping down his chin. Given how they had rarely spoken outside of the gym, such an act absolutely perplexed her. What this what boys did down in Gotham? Gabi paused, trying to work out what was happening, before realizing at probably the exact moment as Kevin did, that he had been lost in his thoughts. She returned a polite nod, still perplexed, and beginning to regret her decision to stay even more.

Her doubts were lifted however by the appearance of Selene, who greeted them all cheerfully before climbing over the back of the nearest sofa. "Watching something?"

She let out a silent sigh of relief upon seeing her, finally moving away from the window and towards the sofas, ruffling Hayden’s hair affectionately as she passed.

"That's the plan, but the real question is what?" Cece asked in response to Selene, the television erupting into life at the touch of the remote.

“I’m fine with anything really.” She shrugged in response, as she lowered herself into the spot next to Selene, giving her a warm smile and a nod as she made herself comfortable amongst the cushions. It was the truth; Gabriele never really watched many films during her youth. They had a television, sure, but that was mostly put to use playing her mother’s favourite soaps or running one of the many black and white films from her father’s VHS collection. She had usually spent this time tucked up in a book or doing chores. Since coming to America and seeing how ingrained in the people’s lives this colourful box could be, she had started to regret that decision, and had set a goal to watch as much as she possibly could.

“That works for me.” She said, nodding at Cece's suggestion of the superhero-themed rom-com, before laying her axe to rest on the glass coffee table in front of her, finally at ease. She gave a little laugh before continuing "We should probably take notes for our first mission!"

She was so at ease in fact, that she didn’t even find herself taking a second glance as their blue-skinned teammate, Varo, made an appearance. Such a sight would have left her on edge, mere weeks ago, but in the short time she had been here, she had gotten used to the man from the stars. That was definitely not something she thought she would ever find herself thinking.

It took her a couple of seconds to process his question, with her immediately sympathizing with his confusion. While she knew how it felt to be far from home and how confusing things could be here, it was probably nothing compared to how Varo probably felt. Life here probably felt so… alien, to him. It was tough.

“We’re just watching a movie here Varo.” She asked, before gesturing to one of the sofas. “Come join us.”

Since we're set in the DC Universe, who are you hoping makes an appearance in the RP? Furthermore, who do you want the team to go up against?

@Lord Wraith

Upgrades to Cece's legs?

@Lord Wraith

This has made me think that something like the Titans of Tomorrow, or at least a similar scenario involving witnessing the team from a possible future, could be interesting.

Mentioning Cece again as it's the first thing that comes to mind, but would be intriguing to see how the present version would react to a future version of her that had gone full cyborg in regards to upgrading her body.

Seeing the team deal with the "worst" version of themselves, could be real interesting

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

I'd definitely like to see us go up against the Titans at some point, probably before the League if that ever happens.

@Sep

I didn't even consider the Titans! I'm very intrigued to see that lineup. The Justice League is easy to guess to an extent, give or take a few members, but there are many wildly different interpretations of the Titans to pick and choose from

Also, Ding Dong Daddy needs to show up and steal a briefcase containing Julian's most prized possession so @rocketrobie2 can lead a sub-team in a massive race against a bunch of supervillains

Since we're set in the DC Universe, who are you hoping makes an appearance in the RP? Furthermore, who do you want the team to go up against?

And if you're not a huge DC fan, what sort of threats are you hoping we face? Do you have any ideas you'd love to see happen whether as a story arc or even just an interaction between two or more characters?

@Lord Wraith

As you said, a confrontation with the league would be extremely interesting, especially given certain character's connections to the various members, such as Julian and Supes, Hayden and Captain Marvel, Hana and whichever GL is there, among others!

For me personally, an interaction between Gabi, Selene, and Wonder Woman, is something I really want to see play out, given their relationship with one another (or lack of in Gabi's case).

As for potential villains, I'm not too sure. That said, I'd love to see the various sub-teams that are developed to be thrown into wildly different scenarios that test each member differently. For example, seeing Cece, a character already questioning her beliefs due to being around demi-gods and magicians, being thrown into a setting that completely challenges her faith.

Also, I wanna see some inter-team drama, because that's always fun

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

I feel I may have had Gabi reminisce a bit too much about Guatemala in that post, but hey ho

Will be finishing up relationships later today
