Session 8 took place on the 30th and 31st of June 2023.

Notes were taken by Donna Troy

## Recap - Boardwalk Brawl

### Chapter 1 - Reminiscence

Julie catches Vee up on the trip to Themyscira, as well as today being Ricky's birthday. Donna joins shortly afterward. She expresses an interest in learning more about Halcyon, Vee's home. Vee proposes that they go out into the city, like a girl's day out. That turns into Vee getting a call from Beast Boy about the Titans trying to stop the Fearsome Five from drilling into the center of the Earth by the boardwalk. It's go time.

### Chapter 2 - Teamfight Tactics

Vee takes charge and leads them back to the Oblivion and back to a building much closer to the boardwalk to engage the Five more quickly than if they traveled to the boardwalk the normal way. Upon arriving, they learn that only four of the Six Five are present - Dr. Light, Psimon and Jinx - and there are 4 Titans - Trinity, Beast Boy, Red Robin and Omen - fighting them. Trinity (and for a brief time, Red Robin) was fightingDr. Light in the sky, Beast Boy (in T-Rex form) was brawling with Jinx at the beach, and Omen was in a psychic duel with Psimon. In addition to the four villains and the giant drill, there is a company of goons using armored exosuits protecting the operation.

With this scene laid out before them, Vee orders Donna to save the bystanders after dropping Julie off at the drill. Donna uses her lasso to begin rescuing the crowd, while Julie engages the grunts directly, as does Red Robin. Unfortunately, Dr. Light gets the upper hand against Trinity by blinding her with his technology. In response, Donna breaks Dr. Light's arm before he can do anything else. After she's recovered, Trinity comes back up and launches the villain straight down into the pier. He isn't moving.

### Chapter 3 - Collateral Damage

Meanwhile, Vee starts helping Omen against Psimon. He quickly whammies her, and she lays out Beast Boy by accident. While she's busy realizing what she did, Jinx strikes her with lightning. Julie tries destroying the drill by throwing it away... into the crowd of people that Donna had just saved. Vee quickly generates a hardlight shield to protect the people. As a result of the continued fighting (as well as from before), the ferris wheel takes significant damage.

Continuing to get frustrated with how little her efforts seem to be making an impact on the situation, Julie hurls one of the ferris wheel gondolas at Jinx, throwing her off balance enough for the rest of the team to defeat her. Jinx is down. As a result of her actions, the remaining foundations of the ferris wheel crumbles. What's left of it collapses into the ocean. No more ferris wheel dates.

Psimon "breaks" Omen, and on top of witnessing the drill endanger innocents, He nearly breaks Donna too. Julie takes this opportunity to attack Psimon, but meets his telekinetic shield. Vee yells at Donna to either punch Psimon in the face or break the drill. Psimon makes a break for it. Holding onto her rage from earlier, as well as remembering how she had let Mr. Freeze get away before, Donna leaps after Psimon, bringing him to his knees. Donna breaks his legs and concusses his brain. Psimon is down.

As everything is wrapping up, Donna starts picking off what goons she can. She finds that the remaining forces - plus Doctor Light - were making off on a boat that had been hidden under what was left of the pier. Vee meets with her fans for a quick display, then helps Trinity with Garfield. Trinity tells Vee Gar had dumped Raven. Julie is consoled, applauded, even, by Vee, Trinity and Donna for doing her part.

In a closing interview with the press, Vee clarifies that she isn't joining the Titans, but was working with a new team, who are "a bunch of renegades".
