No invasion, but there's pie

The heroes continue to arrive and partake in the Thanksgiving feast, with varying degrees of relief that the "alien invasion" was merely a ruse.

"X'hal," she says regretfully as Grant hurries off. "He's so shy...." Turning back to Mia, she answers, "Not if it meant chafing, and there's something to be said for quality over quantity. But I don't think Tamaraneans have more sex than humans ... or maybe that's part of it ... but the main thing is that we don't pretend that we aren't."

"Orgasms every minute of the day would imply quality, I think. And for humans sex is a taboo topic. We're taught not to talk about it." She watches Grant disappear, "But oh man, the look on his face. Priceless." And with that she bursts into laughter.

"Sex didn't used to be taboo. It's when people switched over from the freedom of Hellenistic culture that sex suddenly became taboo."

Cassie leans in, a grin on her face. feeling a tad more comfortable now that its only the girls. "So, why do you guys think Grant really went to the bathroom?"

"Not for masturbation," Mar'i says quietly, looking off in the direction Grant had taken. "There's something...." She shakes her head. "I don't know yet. We'll have to talk about it."

Cassie looks towards Mar'i, getting serious at the Tamaranean's tone. "Whatever it is...you guys will get through it. I'm sure you will. I don't know him as well as some of the other Titans, but I can tell that he really likes you, Mar'i."

As if on cue, Grant returns then, carrying a cold can of Zesti in each hand, the hair around his temples and forehead slightly damp. The blush and the surprised expression are gone, replaced by a somewhat awkward smile.

"Sorry about that," Emerson says, sitting down next to Cassie again. Passing one of the Zestis to Mar'i, Grant cracks his can open and takes a sip. "Can't believe they prepared this much food. Must've taken weeks to coordinate all this."

He turns his head toward Cassie then. "Mar'i asked me about my Thanksgiving last year. How was yours?"

"It was good." She smiles and looks up at Grant's temples. They're wet, but not sweat wet.

He just needed to cool off.

Cassie didn't blame him.

"Not as interesting as this one, by far, but it was good."

She's watching him intently, now. What Mar'i had said, it got to her.

She wondered what that something was that Mar'i had talked about, but she knew it wasn't her place to ask.

"This one is...hotter." She smiles evilly at Grant and Mar'i.

Bette leans over, putting her arms around Cassie's shoulders, putting her chin on one of them. "Oh really?" There is a faint wink toward Grant.

"Kon is over there, you know. Space stations? Great places for finding some corner somewhere..."

Cassie follows Bette's gaze and goes bright red.

She hasn't seen her boyfriend in what seems like forever.

And he's there, now.

Every stupid girlcrush feeling she'd ever had for him when they were in Young Justice - way before he'd even noticed her - came rushing back.

"That is soooo bad!" she replies, laughing.

"But it is soooo true." Bette turns to look at Cassie. "Go on. Go give him a kiss. Seriously. This place has something going for it." The knowing smile on Bette's face totally has to be an act. Really.

Having recovered from her laughter, Mia raises her glass to the returned Grant, a smile still on her lips. He recovers fast, that deserves acknowledgement. She then turns to Bette "Aaah hum. Should she be asking for advice on specific spots to hide away from people?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bird_of_flame_/]

Bette looks over toward Mia, "Mmmmmm? Oh. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would know that better than I do."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wondergirl_/]

"You know what..." Cassie says carefully, raising an eyebrow. "I think we're fine in the public eye. Really."

For now, anyway.

She's noticed how Bette's been the past couple of minutes and she raises an eyebrow. She's not sure what's going on behind those eyes, but she doesn't think its her place to pry.

"I'm just saying... if you've been missing him, there are worse places to reaccquint yourselves. Don't be shy. It is Thanksgiving, you know?"

Bette leans back into her seat.
