Chapter 1 –kitty claws
"Izza, you can't keep doing zhis," a tall feline like man sighed in a Transylvanian-like accent (ee-za)
"Dad... its zeh only thing I can do in life," a younger feline female pouted. She wore a long black two-piece dancing outfit, meaning a long flowing skirt, silver bangles on her wrists and a black tight fitting black tube top which attached to a black collar with a gold bell attached to it. Her skin was covered in a soft coating of smoky grey fur. Her jet black hair was cut into short layers which fell over a long plat which was cut just below her knees. You could also see two soft great cat ears half-hidden by the black strands of hair
"You know you have more talents than just dancing..." he sighed
"Vhat, fighting?" she asked frowning
"Exactly, I and your mother didn't spend most of our money getting you zhose martial arts lessons for nozhing; you could help people Izza," he pleaded "...please?"
"Fine...when are those auditions for that Legion thing?" she asked looking through the data-pads (like newspapers only holographic data-pads XD)
"Next veek, Friday, 3pm," the man spoke smirking
"...Fine, but I need an outfit und a name, let's get crackin!" she grinned showing cat-like fangs.
(One week after)
"Do I have to attend this?" Brainiac 5 sighed, he'd returned after a few weeks of solitude his human emotions made him bored...so he came back.
"If I have to, you do to," Shrinking Violet smirked then pulled him into the auditions room where Lightning Lad, Superman, Saturn Girl and Cham sat. Timberwolf walked in after Brainy and Vi then sat down next to Bouncing boy and Dream Girl.
"So who's first?" Lightning Lad asked, pretending to be enthusiastic as a girl clad in red outfit walked in, her hair was literally ablaze
"Names Inferno," she smirked as her amber eyes shone dangerously
"I think we can guess your power..." Brainy shrugged
"But can you 'guess' the limit," she purred slyly
"I'm guessing...you show us so we can get this over with," Lightning Lad groaned in annoyance. The girl then moved her left arm as the air around her became hotter until it literally ignited into a long snake-like form which moved like a Chinese dragon into a classic pattern for said dragon.
"I can create and manipulate fire," she explained then clicked her fingers making the dragon disappear.
"Interesting, Inferno," Brainy smiled "we'll review your talents and you'll have to wait and see for our decision," he finished as she nodded then walked out
"NEXT!!" Lightning Lad yelled as a tall male walked in
"Hey Stretch, name and power?" Shrinking Violet grinned
"Elasti-kid," he grinned childishly
"...How old are you?" Brainy frowned noticing the young look in the tall boys features
"...12," he replied sheepishly
"...Sorry kid 13's the limit," Lightning Lad sighed as the kid became smaller and sulked out of the room "MAYBE NEXT YEAR!" he yelled after him making the boy grin and run off.
"NEXT!" Timberwolf yelled. A cloaked figure walked in with a hood over his/her head hiding their head from view
"...Name?" Brainy asked
"Shadow," the figure spoke, the voice was definitely female.
"Take the cloak off," Timberwolf growled smelling something weird. She lifted her head allowing her shimmering emerald eyes to be seen through the darkness created by the hood. She smirked allowing her pearly white fangs to be seen.
"It vould be my pleasure," she spoke then removed the cloak showing her grey furry body, her long furry tail and ears, her black hair... her outfit consisted of a black leather tube top with matching skin-tight footless pants and long black fingerless cloves showing her silver claws.
"A Cat?" Timberwolf growled as she hissed at him
"And a big bad volf," she smirked
"A Feliazian?" Brainy grinned
"A Coluan?" she grinned back "awesome!" she clapped as the rest of the team looked at Brainy weirdly
"The people from Feliaz we really the only ones that actually got along nicely with Coluans... they never fought, never argued, never even had a small spat...it was shocking to be honest," Brainy shrugged
"Power?" Timberwolf growled
"Just like you fur ball, I specialize in stealth," she responded and to prove her point she was up onto the viewing balcony faster than any of them could blink, staring down at the sitting Timberwolf "and martial arts expertise," she smirked
"Then how about a tester?" Timberwolf growled as she back-flipped back onto the platform
"Test her then, Timberwolf" Lightning Lad smirked as he smirked and jumped down in front of her
"Cat Vs Dog, vhat an interesting combination," she smirked getting into a fighting stance, Timberwolf then pounced as she gracefully dodged and drop kicked him in the back sending him flat on his face, he then jumped back up and went to slice her but she bent over backwards then back-flipped kicking him in the face. He growled loudly and pounced on her pinning her down.
"Ooooh, very good, but can you do zhis?" she smirked and swept her tail under his legs causing him to loose his balance allowing her to push him off and pin him down, straddling his waist she put her claws to his neck smirking.
"I give them a week before they tare each other apart," Cham snickered
"Or start snogging each other," Bouncing Boy whispered to Cham making him almost die laughing.
"Lemme up!" Timberwolf growled
"Do you surrender?" she asked
"Never," he growled
"Zhen no," she smirked leaning closer to him "Cats are more graceful, cats are more stealthy, and cats are just plain better than stinky dogs" she purred as he snapped at her, growling and snarling.
"Enough!" Lightning Lad smirked, and she used her hands to propel herself into a front-flip, smacking Timberwolf in the face with her tail and landed gracefully and silently on the floor. As Timberwolf shot up and jumped back onto the viewing platform
"...I let her win," he grumbled
"Sure you did," Cham snickered as Timberwolf snarled at him
"Ok Shadow, you can leave now before Timberwolf goes on a rampage," Brainy snickered; she nodded her head and left swiftly.
(Cut to end of Auditions)
"And the new Legionnaires are, Shadow, Inferno and Aqua Lass" Lightning Lad spoke through the mic as everyone else groaned and the dispersed as the three new Legionnaires walked up to Brainy and got their Legion flight rings and belts.
"Shadow?!" Timberwolf yelped
"Indeed," Brainy smirked as he gave her the flight ring
"It vill be a pleasure to vork vith you" she smirked at Timberwolf then walked off as he fumed in anger.
He trailed the feline to see what she was up to, until she stopped, he quickly hid behind a pillar.
"Vhat do you vant?" she asked
"How'd you know I was here?" Timberwolf asked shocked
"Your paws make an odd tapping noise," she responded "...also I can smell zhose smelly feet of yours a mile avay," she snickered
"What do you have against me?" he growled
"Duh, you are a dog, I am a cat, vhat do you expect?" she smirked then disappeared around the corner.
"I think she likes you," Cham smirked as he turned into his normal form; he'd been flying around as a...fly when he noticed the small chat.
"Yeah right," Timberwolf scowled then walked in the opposite direction.
