"No."

"Excuse me." Batman tried to intimidate me by walking closer and looking down on me, emphasising his height.

"I draw the line at lab testing. I won't allow it. I don't care if you trust these people with you secret identity. I don't trust scientists." I looked up at him with as much courage as I could express. Something tells me that he wasn't use to defiance from most people. All I received was silence. "I think we're done here."

Everyone was left astounded as I just strutted off. Batman didn't even try to call me back. I'm not sure if he was unsure of how, or if he just respected my wishes. Either way. I have no reason to look back.

I shut myself in my room, leaning against the door as I slid sown to the floor. I just yelled at Batman.

"So, how'd it go?" Shadow's voice kind of startled me and I looked up to find him sitting on my bed.

"You mean you weren't spying?"

"Because that's all I do." He stood up, still on my bed.

"You mean it's not?"

"No. I happen to spend sufficient time keeping up a farm, perfecting my piano skills and training birds to attack pigs. Then I make time for spying on you." He has a phone?

"How are you able to play FarmVille, Piano Tiles and Angry Birds?"

He laughed in response before holding up my phone. "I downloaded some games for you."

"Did you maybe think I didn't want games on my phone?" I asked.

"Nope, didn't occur to me." He handed me the device which I pocketed immediately. "I think you should decorate this room."

"You are possibly the most random person I've ever met."

"But you love me."

"I wouldn't go that far." In an instant he was right next to me.

"That hurts." His eyes were a bright silver on the iris, the rest was so black in looked like they went on forever.

"You're my best friend, that's all." I shrugged. I stood up, dusting myself off a little.

"Oh no, I've been friend zoned." He drifted towards the door. "I guess I'll find the next girl to stalk then."

"Goddamn pervert."

He erupted into laughter. The usual sign his teasing was finished. Finally he stopped and turned to me seriously. "So how did it go?"

"I yelled at Batman."

"That bad?"

"It could've been worse."

"Really, how?"

"I could've yelled at Batman. Oh wait." I slumped down onto my bed.

He laid down next to me, pushing stray hair out of me face. "It couldn't have been that bad."

"It wasn't, that's why I'm afraid. What if he gets me while I least expect it."

"This is a very irrational fear of a man in a bat suit."

I scowled at him. "This man could easily kick my ass if he wanted to."

"But he didn't so he obviously doesn't want to."

"I hate it when you're logical, you know?" He got right up to my face, grinning widely.

"Nah, you love me."

"Maybe..." I pushed back onto his back and say up so I was looking over him. "Maybe you love me."

"What?"

"Well I am just that loveable." I said smirking. I leant down so I was merely inches away.

"What are you doing?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at me.

"What you're too much of wimp to do." I tried to lean in more but he ghosted out from underneath me. "Wuss."

He was about to counter when there was a knock on the door. He was gone before I could blink.

I answered only to find the last person I wanted to talk to. Garfield stared right back at me as I struggled to word what I had to say. I could say I like someone else, but I still like him. So instead I just said the first thing that came to mind. "Have you ever heard of the term 'booty call'?"

"I would say I think you should be serious but I think you are." He said without even a blink.

"Completely serious." I pulled him into my room, shutting the door behind him.

He didn't have time to react before my mouth was on his, kissing him furiously. I shoved him away only so he could land on my bed. I jumped on him, straddling his hips and locking lips with him again. I all but ripped my top off, separating our kiss for a moment and leaving me in just my bra and leggings. He moaned as my hand moved down moving along the fabric of his crotch.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Gar hesitated, breaking our kiss. "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"I heard you weren't interested in me anymore and now you're all over..." He paused for a moment, looking me up and down. "...me."

"What?"

"You're green." No. Anything but that.

I rushed to the mirror on the far side of the room. "I'm green!"

"That's a pretty extreme reaction."

"Oh shut up, I'm green!"

He gave me a monotone glare. "Get over it."

"Maybe you are use to being green but I don't like it."

"What's wrong with you?" He all but screamed.

"Can't you freakin' see, I'm green!"

"Next time you talk to me I hope you have a fucking good apology." You know when those sirens and red light are flashing in your head but you don't listen until you've truly fucked up.

Yeah.

I got passed truly fucked and kept going.

"Well good riddance then." I yelled, flipping him off as he walked out the door.

And then it hit me

right

about

now.

"Shit." I breathed.

"Well, I for one think that went splendidly." Shadow beamed as he sat next to me. "You handle break-ups like an art form."

"Shut up."

"You can't shut up, it's a direction."

"I hate you."

"So I guess now that you're not green anymore, you owe Beast Boy a big apology." Mila finally broke the silence as we sat in the waiting room at S.T.A.R. labs. I figured that I should probably test the limit of my powers properly.

"I could apologise, but it'd be easier to never bother him again."

"Teagan, the boy was head over heels for you. Then you left and didn't come back for a year." I sank down into my chair. "Then you pull that stunt. I don't care what's gotten into you, but you owe him the biggest apology you can muster."

"That's not much you realise."

"How about, I break your arm and you break my arm and we see who heals." Okay, I didn't get the point of that. "You know you can bounce back from this but he won't so easily. And you have no one to blame but yourself."

"Why me?"

"Because you hurt him."

"No, why do I have to be shoved into this life. I didn't want it. I wasn't ready for it. The only reason I offended him so badly was because I was so freaked out by these stupid powers. Most people on this team chose this life. I have nothing else to fall back onto. No family, no friends outside the team, nothing. You have the entire Bat-Family to fall back onto. I'm trying, but sometimes the stress gets to me." Mila had sort of lost the unimpressed Batman look. "And it exploded out at Garfield."

"Miss Cerinson, we're ready for testing now." The lab assistant announced as she walked into the waiting room.

"Good luck."

"Whatever."

Teagan was meant to be really impulsive and not react emotionally the same as everyone else. This chapter and the next one are great examples of that aspect of her.
