Cissie can't help herself; the minute Tommy mentions his speed, she brightens. Back home, she has a great poker face when it comes to heroes and superpowers, but at home, everyone knows about people with powers and every other girl in school had a Superman poster on her wall. (Not that she would ever have told Kon this.) No one thought twice if she perked up when certain names or powers were mentioned.
It was different in Wonderland. As careful as she started, once she came to realize that having secrets there was pointless, and that no one remembered anything when they left, she had given up the pretense of hiding her identity, or protecting her friends'. It was hard to try to keep Tim's Robin secret when he himself had given up keeping it.
It's been a year and a half since she's really had to worry about keeping her friends' safe and keeping her own identity secret. It's not much of an excuse, but it's the only one she has for the way she visibly reacts when Tommy mentions his own powers, his name, and their team name.
"You're a Speedster!" She's obviously pleased about it; she misses Bart so much sometimes, maybe especially because the Bart she met in Wonderland was so very much not the Bart she'd known. "You really called yourselves Young Avengers?" It's not a judgement, it's just weird that his team name is so similar to Young Justice.
