FudoTwin17: Hi, guys! I'm back!
Cat: With a new chapter!
Goldfish # 2: Sponsored by her dad!
Goldfish # 1: Also known as the guy who makes all the money, but doesn't get to spend any of it!
FudoTwin17: And to think they spent a hour rehearsing that. Hm. What a waste of time.
Goldfish # 1: Hey-
Dog # 1: She doesn't own Young Justice.
Chapter 2
Two weeks. Rux sighed. The mission was in two weeks. What a nightmare.
She worked quietly at her seat. It had been just the last night that they, meaning the team, had been informed that they had a mission, one that kind of scared Rux. For some reason, it set her on edge.
X to the second power is sixteen . . . .
"Did you see her earlier today? It was so funny!"
Rux silently grounded her teeth. Speaking of things that set her on edge . . . .
"She was getting stuff from her locker, which is right under mine, and all my books fell on her. I was laughing my head off!"
Rux rubbed her head absentmindedly. She had managed to dodge all but one. Sometimes, she really hated science.
So, X divided by two would be two, therefore meaning that if I multiply it by ten and divide it by two it would equal twenty . . . .
"Yeah, but I heard that Josh dug her out." This voice appealed much more to Rux than the first one.
"Yeah. He broke up with me over the circus freak thing. But no worries, we'll be back together for prom."
Rux wanted to slap herself. She was the amazing 'boy' wonder, and she still couldn't get a date. That figured.
But if I multiply it by Y, I get fourteen, meaning that Y must be three . . . .
She sighed unhappily, a bit too loud. She knew it was too loud, because the girls behind her stopped talking. The only reason any of them would do that was because, A, there was an unnatural disaster going on (more along the lines of Joker than Scarecrow), or, B, because they were about to make some poor person's life miserable.
"Oh, circs!" Rux had to stop herself from groaning. The old nickname was given to her almost as soon as she got into the tenth grade. They got tired of calling her circus freak all the time so, they shortened it to circs, a name that caught on fast.
The owner of the taunting voice was Jessica Simps. She had the locker above Rux, and used to have the one boy in the school that Rux actually liked. She was extremely wealthy, which meant that she was top of the food chain, especially with her (plastic) beauty.
"Do you think it hurt?" The evil one asked.
She glanced up at the teacher. He was chowing down on some pretzel. Well, he wasn't going to be much help.
And a half. If the answer is multiplied by two, twenty eight, it makes Z.
Rux bit her lip. The small, innocent Rux always answered people when they spoke to her. It would be too much out of character to not ask.
"What hurt?"
"When your parents fell. You should know, after all, you were there." Her shiny, cherry lips smirked.
It was times like this that she hated playing the part of Rux. She looked away from the blond bobble head.
Yes. It hurt. Otherwise they wouldn't have screamed.
"Hey, leave her alone. What did she ever do to you?" The voice made Rux's heart jump into her throat.
"Josh?" Jessica asked.
"No wonder we aren't dating anymore." He growled. The boy in question was sitting right in front of Rux was muscular football player. His hair was a deep brown, and his eyes were dark blue. He had a tan and he was charming, even when he he was growling. His ferocious gaze softened as they moved to her. "Are you okay?"
"Ye-yeah." She stuttered. Come on, get it together!
He smiled.
Rux was so happy, she completely ignored the group of girls the rest of the day.
. . .
So, that's why Wally was suspicious when Robin was humming a tune under her breath as she hacked. The computer, as if responding to her whelmingly happy voice, was carrying out every detail just as it was supposed to. And Wally was sitting there trying to figure out what tune she was humming.
"Ye Merry Old Soul?"
Robin shook her head.
"Knights of the Round Table?"
Robin's smirk grew.
"Old King's Day?"
By that time, Artemis was starting to get annoyed.
"He's not going to tell you." She growled.
"Rob!" He complained. Robin wasn't telling.
"Fine." He sniffed, "I guess it's true. My best friend doesn't love me." His sniffs turned into full out fake tears.
Robin stopped humming, her smile turning into a hardened scowl. KF looked at her confused. She forced her fingers to work, thankful they didn't stop.
"Hey, circs! How does it feel knowing mommy and daddy didn't love you?"
Thankfully, Batman walked in right then. Robin gathered her stuff and followed him.
The song was Lui, Lui. It was a Romanian lullaby her mother used to sing her to sleep with. It hurt to think about, but the song was something she held close to her heart. It was important to her.
FudoTwin17: I hope you liked it!
Cat: If you did, review.
GoldFish # 1: Bye!
