Welcome to the Tower!

“Star - STAR! Don’t you think you’ve cleaned the carpet enough today?”

Dick looked around at the immaculately clean living area of Titans Tower, something that was previously buried under mounds of pizza boxes, training equipment, and Garfield’s stray clothes.

Kory flew around to every corner of the living room, aggressively tidying up everything from art work to couch cushions.

“Sorry Richard! But it is of the most importance that I make our home presentable!”

She flew up to the ceiling, dusting cobwebs out of the corners -as if someone was actually going to notice.

Whoosh

“Woah, I can actually see the floor now! What’s the occasion star?”

Garfield walked in with Victor, clearly back from some intense outdoor training, as evidenced by their muddy shoe prints currently being trekked into the space.

Kory looked down at her friends and gasped, immediately going to try and fix the muddy shoe prints.

“shoo! Do none of you clean your shoes before entering!”

“Woah! Calm down Star! What’s going on?”

Victor took a quickstep back, clearly picking up that getting in a Tamaranean princesses way was a bad idea.

“She’s been like this is since 5:00am.” Raven let out a sigh from the couch, trying very hard to focus on her book now that more noise was present.

“It is because everything must be perfect! I have a dear friend coming to visit and we MUST make a good impression!”

Once Kory finished cleaning the mud, she immediately went to the open kitchen to stir a pot with…questionable smells.

“A friend?” Dick leaned on the island, watching the redhead stir like she was rowing a boat.

“A dear friend, Richard! I have not seen CraveU user in ages!”

“CraveU user? Mmm what kind of friend would get you all worked up like this?” Garfield teased, taking the spot next to Dick and grinning.

Kory whipped around and grinned.

“They are a magnificent friend, one I have not seen in much time! And our house must be perfect for their arrival.”

“Woah Star, hey. Our tower is immaculate, paid for by Bruce himself. Plus, if your friend judges you based on the habits of your roommates, maybe they aren’t that great of friends…” Dick offered a sympathetic smile to her, clearly picking up her anxiety over seeing someone who she clearly missed and wanted to make space for in their home.

“Oh no no, they would not be judgmental! Quite the opposite, but that does not matter. I want to make sure they are greeted by our best efforts.”

Kory looked at the clock above the stove and gasped.

“Ah! They are almost here! Richard I have prepared the guest room in the West wing for them, I hope you do not object with such short notice?”

“Of course not, our home is their home for….how long are they staying?”

Before she could answer the doorbell rang. A weirdly domestic action considering the tower was layered in security features.

“Ah, they are here!!”

In an instant Kory was downstairs, escorting CraveU user and their bags upstairs to meet the rest of the Titans.

“-I was so thrilled to receive your message! You are most welcome here, for as long as you need!”

Dick looked at the other Titans, who definitely caught the however long you need, comment too.

“And here is our common area! CraveU user, these are my friends, Richard, Raven, Garfield and Victor!”
