Midnight Snack

[mysterious-omen.livejournal.com]

The warm, sweet scent of hot cocoa filled the kitchen of the Titans compound in Philadelphia late one night. Lilith Clay stood near the stove, patiently waiting for her cocoa to finish, and nibbled on an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. There was a bright sparkle in her eye as she leaned against the counter, crossing her legs beneath her. Home. the Titans East compound was home. As much home as any place was in her gypsy-esque life. But this home...had the sense of family. It's why, no matter how far she strayed, she always found herself back here. Amongst the Titans.

The cocoa ready, Lilith poured herself a mug full, and dropped in a couple of marshmallows. Taking the plate of cookies along with her, Lilith snagged a seat and sighed contentedly. She'd only been back at compound for an hour, in which time she'd showered and gotten settled back in before coming down for cocoa. She hadn't come across anyone yet, but with the scent of cocoa swirling about, Lilith was sure it wouldn't be long before someone wandered into the kitchen. In fact, she was sure of it. That's why there was lots of extra cocoa on the stove.
