Scent
"Conner, what are you doing?" Artemis asked as she entered the living room. Conner looked up from his laptop and glanced at her. She gestured to the area around him and he ahhed in understanding.
"Making bath salt for the twins. Their birthday is coming up and I decided to make them something." Conner said. The rest of the Team had wandered in at his response and stared at him.
"W-what?" he asked nervously.
"Why don't you just buy them some bath salts?" Wally asked with a head tilt.
"The girls don't like them. The scents are way to strong and cover up their natural scents. That's dangerous, especially on missions where they get separated. Demons tend to use scent to track one another down." Conner explained before he went back to his laptop.
"Then don't you have to know what the girls smell like naturally?" Garfield asked. Conner nodded distractedly.
"Yeah, I do. I've gotten scents that match as close to the girls as possible. There are some things you just can't replicate." Conner said as he turned back to the scents lined up before him.
"Crimson smells like vanilla, cinnamon, and a slight hint of mint. Vixenique smells like lavender, jasmine, vanilla, and the scent of rain. I can't find anything that replicates the rain part, so it's being left out." Conner said as he picked up one of the bottles. He poured some of it into two separate containers and the scent of vanilla could be smelled.
"Hey, since you know what the twins smell like, do you know what we smell like?" Cassie asked as she and the others all took seats to watch Conner work.
"Yep. You smell like some type of sweet flower, probably some type of fruit flower. There's also the scent of rope and something that can only be described as thunder." Conner said as he never looked up.
"I smell like thunder?" Cassie asked in shock.
"Yep, you share that with Wonder Woman. It might belong to all Amazons now that I think about it. It's like that scent during a thunder storm. Both attracting people and warning them to stay away." Conner explained. Cassie flushed lightly at that.
"Cool, what about Sis?" Garfield asked.
"Sunflowers. Sunflowers in a bright sunny field. Also a hint of something elusive. I can't explain it. I think Vixen said she smelled like something other." Conner said.
"Me?" Garfield asked.
"There's a hint of that other smell, probably from Megan's blood and warm fur." Conner said as he tipped a slight amount of mint into one of the containers.
"Kaldur?" Megan asked.
"The ocean and green tea and musk that marks him as male." Conner replied and Kaldur blinked at that.
"Dick?" Tim asked.
"Chalk, rope of some kind, the scent of electricity, probably from all the time he spends around computers, and something like moonlit plants. All of the Bats share that last scent. And male musk." Conner said as he added cinnamon to one of the containers.
"You?" Wally asked.
"According to the twins I smell like the air after a thunderstorm, the forest, warm fur, and something comforting. I think they said I smell like nutmeg before." Conner shrugged as he finished mixing the scents for the bath salt. He then placed all of the scents to the side and pulled out some food coloring.
He shook them up and picked up the red one. He let a few drops fall into the pure white salt mixture and mixed it. It turned a bright bloody red, much like the hair of the girl he was giving it to. He then topped the red and grabbed some black. He allowed one drop and mixed it, adding another when it wasn't the color he wanted. He nodded at the burgundy color of the salt and added the container of scent into the salt as well. He smelled it and nodded in agreement, placing it to the side.
"Okay, Crim's is done. Now for Vixen's." he muttered He repeated process with the purple food coloring, adding some white to get the perfect color he wanted.
"All done. Now what to do with the rest of this stuff?" Conner asked himself as he looked at all of the extra bath salt mixture, the scents, both the opened and unopened ones, and the extra food coloring.
"Make me some, make me some!" Cassie said excitedly. Conner stared at her before he shrugged and nodded.
"Why not? I have to do something with all of this anyway. So, any essential oils in this or not?" Conner asked and the blonde cheered happily as she went off telling him what she wanted.
