Chapter 2: Speedy Dating
Naturally, word got around pretty quickly at the Mansion about Roy's date with Donna. When you have two telepaths and three people with enhanced senses, word can get pretty quickly anyway. The girls were getting Donna ready for their date, while Roy was talking with Lance and Connor about his night out. The archer was understandably nervous; not only was he dating someone stronger than him, he was also dating someone who had a sister that was WAY stronger than him. He looked around at his clothes,
"I wouldn't consider myself fashionable, but I guess these shirt and pants are all right."
He pulled out said clothing. The shirt was white; the pants were a navy blue.
Connor grinned,
"Twenty bucks says this date turns into a disaster."
Lance shook his head,
"First of all, we shouldn't bet on the date. Second, you're talking to a telepath. Third, you don't have twenty cents with you."
The clone whined,
"But, I'm good for it."
Roy looked at his two teammates,
"Guys, I could really use some help here. I mean, I like Donna, but what if she doesn't like me?"
Lance said,
"Roy, take my word for it; Donna is crazy about you."
Meanwhile, on the girls end…
"Donna, what do you have in here?"
Kara was rummaging through Donna's closet. Since joining Titans East, the female members had all gone out and did some shopping. Of course, at Kara's and Farrah's insistence, they buy some engaging clothes for dating.
M'gan asked Farrah,
"Is this really necessary?"
The were-lioness looked at her, stunned,
"Meg, this is the most important event in a young woman's life, especially for Donna. We want everything to go as smoothly as possible."
Kara pulled something out,
"Found it!"
It was a rather expensive looking silver neck scarf. Farrah grinned,
"And, with this dark leather skirt and black blouse, Roy will go nuts for you!"
She and Kara cackled maniacally. The teen Kryptonian added,
"What about shoes?"
Persiana slapped herself in the forehead,
"How could I forget?"
As the two were looking through shoes, Donna and M'gan both looked at each other, nervous. The Amazon princess asked,
"Are they under the effects of a telepath?"
The White Martian shook her head,
"I do not know how to answer that."
Later…
Roy was pacing nervously in the main foyer of the Mansion. Lance was busy reading as Connor was preoccupied with a fly. He cackled,
"I will kill you, cursed fly!"
He picked up a fly swatter and tried to squash said insect, but it flew away before it could stay. Connor shouted,
"DIE, FLY!"
Roy asked,
"What's his problem?"
Lance looked up from his book,
"I don't know."
He sensed how nervous his teammate was,
"Roy, Donna likes you. You have nothing to worry about."
Kara and Farrah both entered the room. Their eyes looked on Roy. Kara said,
"Donna will be ready in a few minutes. We just want to talk to you about something."
Both their gazes darkened. Farrah snarled,
"If you hurt Donna, I'll gnaw on your bones!"
Roy's eyes shot open in terror. He looked at Lance,
"She's kidding. Right?"
Lance looked nervously at him,
"No, she's not."
Farrah's eyes softened,
"Anyway, I hope you have a good time."
Megan brought out Donna, and instantly, everything stopped. Roy's jaw dropped open as he saw Donna dressed so slender-like in a black wool blouse and leather skirt, with black shoes and silver laces. She had a silver brooch on her chest, and shining earrings. She had her silver bracelets on, being covered by the blouse. The Amazon princess asked,
"Uh, do I look good?"
Roy mumbled,
"Bobbobllbbloob…"
Lance smirked,
"I think Roy likes."
Donna walked up to her new boyfriend,
"Well, I believe we should be going."
She kissed him and Roy, acting like a love-struck zombie, opened the door and the two were off. Kara and Farrah both nodded in approval at the job they had done. Lance looked at them,
"You two are going to spy on them, aren't you?"
The were-lioness nodded,
"Oh yeah."
On the date…
Roy and Donna were walking along the streets of New York. Donna asked,
"So, how does a date in Man's World work?"
Roy thought for a moment,
"Well, we could go to the carnival. You get to play all sorts of games and win prizes."
The raven-haired beauty nodded,
"Let us go."
At the Carnival…
Buying two tickets, they walked inside and Donna was immediately bombarded with the sensations of the carnival. The lights flashing, the smells of fattening food, the people laughing and enjoying themselves; the carnival was in town. Donna looked around,
"By Hera, it's amazing."
Roy smiled,
"Yeah, it's a sight."
Donna pointed,
"What about that?"
Roy looked and it was a strong man's competition, where a person takes a mallet and hits the weight, trying to ring the bell. He said,
"Well, I think that might be a bit out of your league."
The Amazon glared at him,
"And what's that supposed to mean?"
Roy quickly added,
"What I mean is…you might break the bell."
Donna narrowed her eyes at him and smiled,
"You're right."
She eyed an archery shooting contest. She saw someone win a stuffed animal. Donna asked,
"Roy, could you get me that?"
Speedy looked and sauntered to the archery booth.
Later…
After sampling different fair foods, Roy and Donna boarded the Ferris wheel. Donna had a rather large stuffed bear her boyfriend had won, which fit rather difficultly into the ride. As the ride turned around in the sky, the two Titans looked out over the water and the night sky. Donna smiled happily,
"It's wonderful."
Roy agreed,
"It is, but it doesn't compare to you."
Donna looked at him,
"Are you flirting with me?"
The hero known as Speedy swallowed nervously,
"Uh…"
Donna leaned closer,
"I don't mind. You've been an absolute gentleman tonight and I…I want to kiss you."
Roy was surprised by what she said, even more so when she meant it. She came closer and pressed her lips against his. The two embraced a long and passionate kiss.
Suddenly, there was an explosion at the carnival. The two heroes turned and a man that looked like a big glob of walking clay rampaging at the carnival. His name is Matt Hagan, the villain known as Clayface.
Donna scowled,
"How dare that monster ruin my first date in Man's World! I'm going to go down there and give him what for!"
She ripped the door off the ferris wheel and was about to fight when Roy asked,
"Donna, could I have a little help getting down?"
Wonder Girl stopped in her tracks, realizing that they were about eighty feet off the ground. She blushed,
"Sorry, I got a little carried away."
Taking the archer in her arms, she floated down to safety.
Clayface used his arms and created a scythe, slicing up food stands and overturning carts. He was about to laugh in triumph when a wooden beam hit him in the head. Although it did not do serious damage, he reformed the damage parts of his body and shouted,
"Hey, who did that?"
"I did!"
Donna scowled at the shape-shifter,
"You are hurting these people and ruining my date! You are not leaving here without answering to both!"
Clay Face smirked,
"Ooh, Wonder Woman's kid sister is gonna hit me with her dollies."
He scoffed,
"Yeah, right! Like a puny kid like you could ever hurt me!"
Donna screamed in rage, which made Roy wince,
"This is not going to end well."
