there it is, again. the pull in his chest at the way she fits into his life, fits against him. not effortless, they’ve put in the effort. paid their dues, as it were. so not effortlessly, but naturally lydia is here. a sleepy mumbled, “ whatever you say, beautiful, ” and thumb brushing the shell of her ear fondly.

she can hear the exhaustion in his voice, lets it sink in for a minute. the nightmares and the long nights are kicking both their asses--though neither one complains--and maybe it would be better to pass on the binging tonight. lydia sits up, scooting up and over until she’s all but in his lap, controller set to the side. she rests her forehead against his, breathes for a second. “ you wanna just go to bed? we can do this another day. ”

does he care ?? “ does the pope shit in the woods ?? choose whatever you want, lyds. ” he’s got the best seat in the house, and he’s really just invested in, you know, being with her. and possibly earning back certain fun privileges. “ fair warning, i might fall asleep. ”

she makes a soft, pleased noise, starts scrolling through netflix with an ease she somehow can’t imagine ronin possessing. makes a mental note to see how much he actually knows about his tv and all that shit. at his warning, she just smiles, presses a kiss to his leg. “ we can always pick up tomorrow. or i can wake you up. ” and there it is--the shift in tone. if he plays his cards right, he might get to use those lost privileges before the night is over.

ronin makes a quiet noise when she lays her head on his leg. hand comes to rest on her hair, twisting a lock around his finger gently as he thinks about her proposition. “ binge something with you ?? ” he digs through the cushions for a second until he finds the tv remote and hands it over to her. he’s pretty sure she knows more about his television than he does. gun to his head, he doesn’t even know how to get to netflix. “ dealer’s choice. ”

pleased with herself, lydia giggles. she takes the remote from his hand and wiggles a little bit on his couch to get better situated for browsing without dislodging his hand from her hair. gets accustomed to the warmth of him behind her. “ anything you really don’t want to see? ” it’s only fair to at least get his preferences. if he has any. does he even watch tv? does he even have netflix?

ronin makes a noncommittal noise from the other end of the couch, head cushioned by his hand. “ as long as you’re considering going back on the other thing, i can deal with the lack of pancakes. but, pray tell, how can i make it up to you? ”

she doesn’t even bother trying to hide her offense, half mocking, half serious. dealing with the lack of pancakes. is he trying to keep from getting the other thing? her lips purse and she flops back, resting her head on his leg as she considers whether or not he can make it up to her at all. he can, of course. she’s not hard to please, and she’s already soft on him in most ways that matter. “ binge something with me. ”

@miisfired

“ i might renig on the other thing, but i’m not giving you pancakes. ” of all the things she’s said aloud in the last few days, this might be the strangest. but roning, in all of his sarcastic glory, is getting what he deserves. looking for her replacement. pfft. she snorts, shifting on the couch and untwisting her shirt from the corner it got caught in. “ but you might be able to make it up to me. ”

Oswald was not having a good day, Not only did he have an unauthorized visit from some stupid superheroes but he also had to find out some of his men were selling that stupid super pill. It was a good thing they were too stupid to actually try and use it against him or his men. He really wasn’t looking where he was going when he heard someone mutter something “ My apologies did I hit you with the door? I’ve got a lot on my mind are you okay?”

lydia glances in his direction, repressed annoyance clear on her features. if you were gonna be an asshole knocking people over with doors, being nice immediately after was vaguely unwelcome. give her someone to be annoyed with. “ it’s fine. ” it’s not, and her shoulder already hurts from hitting the curb wrong last night, but that’s her own fault. “ nothing to see here. ”

☼. || ❝ you could’ve held the door for her. ❞ kara bites at the previous, super-hearing picking up the mutterings of the door’s tired victim. in her hands, a carrier of coffee: one for herself, one for kon, and an extra because she accidentally ordering the wrong drink for kon. and forgot what he liked. she looks at the girl and asks on impulse, ❝ … coffee ?? ❞

unrepentent, lydia flips the bird at the stranger before glancing at kara. a familiar face–a teammate, no less–in the midst of the crazy is always welcome. especially when that familiar face comes with caffeine. “ please. ” she reaches a hand out without second-guessing herself. too rushed? maybe. did she care? not in the least. coffee deprivation was an important thing, after all. “ you’re a life-saver, kara. really. ”

“ note to self, don’t ever go to work on three hours of sleep and no coffee ever again. ” lydia mutters a few choice words under her breath and reaches for the door just as someone else exists, stopping short as the door collides with her shoulder and the stranger keeps walking, oblivious and ignorant. “ you’re welcome. ” it’s a boring quip, but also all she can manage on such limited brain power.

#svpstart #right so this is lydia frost aka contra #she's a member of the outsiders #and i'll post a little intro tomorrow after work

About: Valerie Noel Woods

Born and raised in Coast City, California, she was the only child of a single mother and a low-level criminal (who ditched shortly after she was conceived)

Definitely the stereotypical “they didn’t have a lot, but they had each other” kind of deal. Ms. Woods did her best to raise Val right, and Val did her best to be a good kid

Everything was pretty much okay up until the Blackest Night. That’s when things started getting really bad (instead of kind of bad). When Scarecrow was given an orange lantern ring leading up to the battle against the Blackest Night, he was well chosen. Fear was his domain and he was good at exacting it. It was this very talent, combined with the ring, that took the sanity (and eventually the life) of Valerie’s mom. Tortured to the point of literal insanity, she was incarcerated in a nearby mental facility.

There was so much damage and wreckage in the wake of that night that no one really noticed Val. It was two weeks before someone came for her. Two weeks of living on her own at the age of twelve. And the people that came for her, were not social services or superheroes. They were government agents.

Eight years ago, the SACD was just starting to get their operation off the ground, and they needed test subjects. People to try the early versions of the Super Pill on. They needed people who wouldn’t be missed. They took orphans and addicts and the homeless. They took whoever they could get their hands on.

In the preliminary stages, while the scientists were still trying to get ratios and percentages and strains correct, the pills often had strange side effects. They rarely lasted long, but often ended with the users in restraints. Violent fits, uncontrollable rage, strange mind-altering visions.

It wasn’t discovered until much, much later, but the combination of hormones from puberty and over-exposure to the various types and strains of the Super Pill had a... strange effect on Valerie’s genetic makeup. This is where she gained her invulnerability. This is also when she stopped being useful to the SACD.

Valerie has no clear memories of getting away from the SACD. How it happened, if anyone helped her. But at age 15, after three years under the watchful gaze of the SACD, she was free again.

Freedom is a wonderful thing after confinement, but with nothing and no one to count on, Valerie struggled to keep herself afloat. She was angry, she was scared, and no amount of physical defense could save her from the havoc that had been unleashed on her mind and her trust.

It was Starfire that found her, and Starfire who eventually convinced her to join the Teen Titans. Kori knew better than anyone what anger could do to a teenager, the ripple-effects of her own unjust history still ravaging her own moral complexes. It seemed the best fit, the only one she could think of besides handing another angry teen to Batman.

Kori is still the only person who knows Valerie’s full story.

It wasn’t an easy transition, or a fun one for everyone involved, but eventually, Valerie found her place within the group. And Starfire was right, being around others her own age was good for her, and fighting crime gave her a purpose, even if she never quite gave up her anger towards the SACD.

The release of the Super Pill made her life very difficult. She knew exactly what it was when it hit the streets, but to tell someone would be to expose herself. Though her team meant well, though they were good at heart, she couldn’t relive that part of her history with them. It was non-negotiable. So she kept her mouth shut. For that, she still feels guilty.

The Hero community pieced together everything she knew pretty quickly, anyway, between what the SACD had told the heroes they were trying to recruit and what they could figure out on their own. Being around in the early stages, and being so young when it happened, didn’t leave her with a lot of information that was pertinent or useful to the functional pill they were now using. She’s angrier than she used to be, constantly on edge. Even the Teen Titans will likely have noticed a change in her demeanor, but if they have, nothing has been said to her yet.

“ I’m not saying I’m the best cook in the world, but I’m definitely the best cook in the Teen Titans. Anyone who tells you otherwise is dead-ass lying. ”
