Especially when you're one of those people with a naturally sweet disposition who doesn't deal with everything through snark. Or, you know. So I've been told." Bette, on the other hand, had been told multiple times by Kate and Uncle Jake to tone it down on the snark.

"Maybe we can practice the banter later. You know, once we figure out the Titans mess. I figure, we train to fight. Why not train to banter?" After all, throwing barbs was as important as anything else, wasn't it? "I mean, if you want me to. Most of the Titans used to think I was kind of a joke, so. It's up to you."
