Oh gods! [ INSERT GAGGING. ] I can't get this cigarette taste out of my mouth. [ A mouth which is at the moment foaming a little at the corners with toothpaste. And she's back to brushing her teeth, then spitting, followed by more frantic brushing, one last spit, and finally a rinse. ]

Help? [ Cassie who has never before this breach smoked a cigarette in her life is for lack of a better word disgusted with herself. ] Not all the Febreze in the world is going to help, and apparently neither is a shower. [ She picks up a clump of blonde hair and sniffs it. ]

EUGH. I swear the smell is still in my hair. [ Actually she kind of wishes it were stuck only in her nose and that there was an easy solution. ]

I'll be in the gym if anyone needs me. It's not like I can wash my hair anymore... [ Grumble, grumble. ]

[Private to Tim ]

So what are the chances of me being able to look through Kara's file?

[ Not as different as you might think... But there is no way in hell she's saying that. This conversation is a step in the right direction and Cassie sincerely hopes it helps alleviate some of the awkwardness between them. ]

I thought I was used to Superboy clones by now-- Er, that didn't sound right. I know you're not a Superboy clone, what I'm trying to say is-- [ That's he's a lot like Conner? Cassie's gonna put he brakes on that one, the last thing she wants to do is insult the man. ] Never mind.

I'm glad we're clearing the air though. You know I've wanted to ask you to spar for a while now. [ Nice save. ] I guess now's as good a chance as any.

[By now Kon is used to Cassie's backtracking. He gets that she doesn't always word things the way she means too, so his feathers aren't ruffled. He understands what she is trying to convey or at least he thinks he does.]

That there's some similarities between the two of us? Personality wise, you don't remind me as much as the Cassie from my world. Then again, I think if she let her guard down, you'd be more alike. Tim reminds me of the Tim I know too. [Except the Tim from his world has more of an edge to him.]

I don't know how much of a challenge it would be for you, but I'm for the challenge. [Grins.]

How about I only use one hand? Or lose both? [ She teases, really locking on to the subject change. ]
