Stormy-Rose
Chapter3
We had been shopping for about an hour now and we had five bags full of clothes. "Okay Star, are we done now?"
"Not quiet yet. We still need to do the shopping for the shoes!" she exclaimed.
"Do we really have to?" I asked in a whining voice.
"Yes." Star said leaving no room for me to argue.
"Oh, alright." I said giving in.

"Man, I am so tired!" I said as we walked into the common room, carrying five bags, followed by Star, who was carrying the other five bags of clothes and shoes. I dropped my bags and collapsed on the couch.
"So, I take it you two had fun," Robin said as he walked over to the couch.
I glared at him and said, "Oh yes, loads of fun! You know I always dreamed of being buried in clothes to try on."
"You look like you could use some relaxing, Rose," Raven said, "do you want to meditate with me on the roof?"
"Yes!" I said and raced off to the rooftop of the Tower.
'Peace at last,' I thought as I sat on roof. The breeze blowing through my hair; the sun setting; and the waves crashing below. It was perfect! Raven and I sat there in peace, meditating.
"Hey Rose," Beast Boy said interrupting my meditation.
"Yeah, Beast Boy?" I said.
"We have something to show you inside the Tower. Will you come and see it?" he asked.
"Sure," I said as I got up to follow him.
He led me down the hallway where everyone's bedrooms were. We passed Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg's rooms. We were almost to Robin's room, but we stopped in front of a doorway everyone was standing before. There was something written on the door, it looked like a name, but I didn't get the chance to read it because Robin walked behind me and covered my eyes.
"Okay, what's going on?" I asked trying to see what they were doing, but Robin wouldn't move his hands out of the way.
"You'll see, but no peeking," Cyborg said as he helped Robin guide me through a doorway. After a moment of walking we came to a stop.
"Now you can look," Robin said as he took his hands away, allowing me to see.
"Oh my-" I started to say, but was suddenly unable to say anymore as I took in the image of the room. The room was painted to look like an enchanted forest, with winding vines, and colorful flowers and butterflies. There was a small platform in the middle of the room with steps that led to a bed that was hung from the ceiling by ropes that looked like vines with pink blooming flowers. The bed was decorated with a light purple veil canopy that surrounded the entire bed, and light blue sheets, comforter, and pillows. On one side of the room, there was a little pond with small a waterfall. All I could do was stare in awe.
"Hellllloooo? Earth to Rose!" Beast Boy said waving his hand in front of my face.
"Huh? What?" I said snapping out of my speechless state.
"What do you think of your room?" Beast Boy asked.
"It's amazing!" I exclaimed.
"Robin came up with theme and put it all together, for you," Cyborg said, "and we all helped him of course."
I turned around to look at Robin. "You did all of this f-for me?" I asked, my voice cracking and I was on the verge of crying.
"Yes," he said. With that I hugged him, and started to cry (I had no clue why I was crying though). He hugged me back, keeping his arms around me tightly.
"Thank you, so much," I said pulling out of the hug. I turned and face the others, "Thank you, all of you," told them.
"No problem," Beast Boy said, with a big smile.
"Anytime," Cyborg said, giving her a loving smile, like a brother would smile to his little sister.
"You are certainly welcome," Starfire said, smiling at me.
"Don't mention it," Raven said, giving her a little smirk.
"It's the least we could do," Robin said, looking down at me and smiling.
I ran over to the pond and looked in it. There were colorful rocks at the bottom of it and there were several goldfish swimming around in the water. "Beautiful," I said quietly. Then, I ran over to the bed, and pulled back to the veil canopy so I could sit on the bed. "This is great!" I exclaimed.
"Oh! You must see your closet! It is most amazing!" Starfire said as she pulled me over to the closet. All the clothes and shoes we had bought today were stored and organized neatly inside the closet.
"Wow! It's huge!" I said, "I love it!"
"We're glad to hear it!" Cyborg said. I smiled at him, but then a giant yawn came over me.
"Oh my, sorry I'm really tired," I said.
"Alright guys, I think we should call it a night," Robin said.
"Agreed," everyone said.
"Night, Rose," Cyborg said.
"Goodnight! Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!" said Beast Boy.
"Please have the 'sweet dreams,' friend Rose!" said Starfire.
"Goodnight," said Raven.
"Night guys!" I said. They all left the room leaving just me and Robin. "Thanks again for the room," I said to him.
"Anytime," he said, "well I guess I'll let you go to bed."
"Okay," I said.
"Goodnight, Stormy," he said.
"Wait… Stormy? I thought everyone was calling me Rose?" I said confused.
"Everyone else is, but I like Stormy better. Is that okay with you?" he asked.
"Yeah, I don't mind," I said, blushing a little.
Robin noticed my blush and smirked, then said, "Alright, goodnight Stormy."
"Goodnight Robin," I said as he walked out of my room.
After he left and my door was closed, I went over to my closet and changed into night clothes. Then I walked up to the platform where my bed was, and climbed up the few steps and into bed. The room was peaceful, the lights were dim and I was able to fall asleep quickly.

I was dreaming. Reliving one of my worst memories. I was lying on my bed in my room back at my dad's house (my parents are divorced) in Pennsylvania. My dad threw open my door and ran in, panic was clear on his face. Behind him, I saw tons of smoke. "What's going on?" I asked, fearing the answer.
"The house is on fire," he said, panicking.
"What!" I yelled and jumped out of the bed, "We have to get out of here! Wake everyone up!"
"I already did, now let's go!" he yelled.
We raced down the steps. My step mom, and two step brothers were already waiting outside. We stood and watched as our house went up in flames, waiting for the fire department to arrive. I couldn't believe it, the house I had lived in all my life was now burning down. I began to cry, "NOOOOOOO!" I screamed. The dream ended.

I bolted upright in my bed, still crying and screaming. There was a knock on my door and then Robin, followed by the others, came running in. "Stormy!" Robin yelled trying to get me to look at him, but I wouldn't look up. I was still looking down at nothing specific. He ran over to my bed and took ahold of my shoulders. He shook me and said, "What's wrong!" I still wouldn't look at him, and I was still crying uncontrollably. He put his hand under my chin, and lifted my head, making me look at him. "Stormy, please tell me what's wrong," he said, worry shown on his face.
I made myself calm down, but I was still crying. "I had a nightmare," I said barely in a whisper.
"What was it about?" he asked trying to get the full story out of me.
"I-I was reliving my worst memory… It was when my house burnt down. It just happened last year," that was all I could say, before I started crying again.
Robin pulled me into his arms, holding me tight. "Shhh… It'll be okay, it's just a nightmare," he said soothingly. I felt someone else's hand on my back. I looked up and saw it was Cyborg.
"You okay, Rose?" he asked, giving me a little smile.
I nodded and sniffled.
"Alright, ya'll, she's okay just go back to bed," Cyborg told the others. They all went back to their rooms, and it was just me and Robin. Robin was still holding me, and I had stopped crying, but I wasn't calmed down all the way yet.
I was starting to feel sleepy, and I wasn't able to fight it off much longer. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep in Robin's arms.

Narrator (3rd Person) POV
Robin sat on Stormy's bed, with her in his arms fast asleep. He carefully stood up, and laid Stormy back on her bed. She looked so peaceful, now that she was finally calm and resting. 'Stormy, I'm so sorry,' Robin thought, as he turned and walked of her room.

Stormy-Rose's POV
I awoke surprisingly early the next morning, but I was feeling completely exhausted from last night. I turned to look at my clock, it read 5:30 a.m. Great… I slowly slipped out of bed, and made my way down to the common room. 'Might as well make some breakfast and maybe get a little training done since I'm up,' I thought.
When I entered the common room, I went to the fridge and pulled out some eggs. I pulled out the pans and started the stove. While doing so, I cracked two eggs into the pan and the set to work on making myself scrambled eggs. I was so focused on making my breakfast that I didn't hear Robin when he walked into the common room and stood next to me. Only did I notice him when I finally looked up fro what I was doing. I jumped in surprise and let out a yelp when I saw him. "Sheesh, Robin! Don't sneak up on me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack!" I said.
He chuckled. "Good morning to you too," he said sarcastically, "and I didn't sneak up on you. I just walked in, but you were kind of zoned out."
At this, I just had a blank face. 'How could I have not noticed him walking in! I gonna have to work on awareness of my surroundings…" I rambled on in my head. Robin gave me a questioning look when I didn't say anything.
"Is something bothering you, Stormy?" Robin asked.
"No, I'm fine. Just tired, that's all," I replied, while putting my breakfast on a plate and placing it on the table.
"Okay, if you say so… But if there is something bothering you, you can always talk to me or the others about it." He said.
"Thanks, Robin," I said.
"Anytime, Stormy," he said.
"Soo… Do you want to go do some training?" I asked as I finished eating.
"Sure," he said, eagerly.
"Good, because I need to work on controlling my light energy and phoenix flame," I said. (Note: Light energy is like Raven's powers, only the color is white. And the phoenix flame is a special power that is passed down through her family, it's basically the ability to control and manipulate fire, but there's a little twist to it (this will be revealed later). The power of the phoenix flame skipped the last 10 generations of her family, so none of her living family members know about this power, and Stormy doesn't know this either. The only person that knows the secret of her phoenix flame is the unknown villain that is targeting and hunting her. Stormy came up with the name of this power on her own.)
"Okay, but first why don't we work on hand-to-hand fighting? No powers," Robin suggested.
"Alright," I replied as we headed to the gym.
When we entered the gym, we went straight to the mats that were laid out for sparring in one of the corners. We turned and faced each other. "Ready," said Robin.
"Set," I replied, and smirked at him, while taking a fighting stance.
"Go." He said and the fight began.
Robin lashed out with series of kicks and punches, which I was able to block. Finally, I found an opening where I could round-house kick him in the stomach, hoping to make him back off a little. Unfortunately, this is what Robin was hoping I would do. He grabbed my ankle and pulled so I landed on my back.
He was about to pin me down, but I caught him with a swift kick to the chest and sent him back a few feet. I sprang back to my feet, as he did too. I went at him with different kicks and punches. He blocked them and slowly forced me back. I kept moving back trying to get a little space, but then something stopped me. The wall. 'Dang it. I don't have any room to fight or escape!' I thought.
"Give up?" Robin asked, not even a foot in front of me.
"Never." I said, slightly angered and embarrassed. 'Whoa. Okay, he is really close… What do I do?' I thought panicking. I lashed out a quick punch, trying to get him to back up. He grabbed my wris and smirked. He trapped my arms at my sides, while he leaned in so our faces were only an inch apart. "Not going to work," he said, in a taunting tone. With that he closed the space between us and pressed his lips to mine.
