Like I said before, things are going to be made up now, but I might include some things from some of the episodes to keep it up to date. I also realized I've been spelling M'gann's name wrong so now I'll be spelling it correctly.
Chapter 4: Breaking the Ice
I walked around Mt. Justice looking for M'gann. Since the day we met, we've been the best of friends. We were going to train with Black Canary.
"Hey Wally, have you seen M'gann?" I asked.
"What makes you think I know?" he asked.
"Let's see, you've been stalking her for 3 days now," I said.
"Is it that obvious?" he asked looking down.
"Yeah," I said.
"Well, she's over at the training room, waiting for you," Kid said.
"Oh, okay, thanks," I said. I walked into the training room to find Robin, M'gann, Kaldur, and Superboy waiting there with Black Canary.
"What took you so long?" Robin asked as I stood next to him.
"Oh, I got attacked by Frost. If I died, nobody would even bother to look for me," I said sarcastically. I saw Robin's face turn hard. He was about to open his mouth but I stopped him.
"I'm kidding," I said. Then his face softened. Didn't want an apology for something he didn't do.
"Alright, who wants to go against me first?" Black Canary asked. I looked around and noticed that Wally had joined us. He raised his hand. Good luck to him. Black Canary threw a punch but Wally dodged it, but then she kicked him, and Wally landed on his butt.
"You were unfocused. You need to pay attention to your opponent's actions," she said. Wally got up with a grunt.
"Anybody else want to try," she asked. Nobody seemed to want to go after what happened. "I didn't think so," she said, "I'll pair you into partners for sparing. Superboy and Kaldur, M'gann and Wally, and Robin and Cora."
I looked at Robin and he smirked at me. He better not go easy if he knows what's good for him. We went off to start sparing. We stood in front of each other and waited for Black Canary to tell us when to start.
"And go," she yelled. Everybody else started except for us. I looked at Rob. He kept staring at me. I was expecting him to start.
"Uh Rob, aren't you starting us off?" I asked uncomfortably. Who wouldn't be uncomfortable if a guy just kept staring at them without saying a word? I just kept looking at me and cocked his head to the side. I sighed. We're going to get in trouble if we don't start. I took out a small pod from my belt and it turned into a staff once I touched it. I swung the staff under Robin's feet, making him fall over. That seemed to snap him out of whatever daze he was in. He would have landed on his face if he didn't react fast enough.
He glared at me. "Hey!"
"We should have started 10 minutes ago but you wasted our time by staring at me!" I yelled.
His face turned as red as a cherry. "Oh, uh, sorry," he said and we started sparing. After a good two, three hours, we were done.
M'gnn walked up to me smiling. "Good job today," she said.
"Thanks."
"But what's wrong with Robin?" she asked me.
"I don't know," I whispered.
"Do you want to talk about it?" she asked with concern in her voice.
"Yeah, but not here. Maybe you can come over to my house later. You could stay over, if your uncle says yes," I said.
Her face lit up as soon as I mentioned the words "stay over". I'm guessing she hasn't done it with other Martians. "I'd love to. I'm sure he'll say yes. He does want me to go to human school soon anyways," she said. She looked really excited about it. We got out of our masks and costumes and into regular clothes. We walked into a lounge or whatever it was and saw everybody else sitting on the couch watching TV. I grabbed the remote and turned it off.
"HEY!" they all yelled. They literally jumped up from the couch as soon as I turned off the TV. It's not like what they were watching was important.
"Cora! We were in the middle of a game!" Wally yelled.
"Really? I didn't notice," I said sarcastically, "I was bored."
"So whenever your bored, you just have to go and shut off the TV!" Wally yelled.
"No! Whenever I'm bored, I just have to find a way to annoy you so I won't be bored anymore," I replied smiling. Everybody else was laughing. Wally's face turned a deep shade of red. "You can't be mad at me Wally," I said, "I couldn't live with that on my conscience." His face softened up a little. He just grumbled a few words I couldn't make out and grabbed the remote to turn the TV back on. I giggled at his reactions. Everybody else did too. I grabbed M'gann and we went to a far corner into the room, actually like the kitchen part.
"So what do you want to do?" she asked.
"Do you know how to bake?" I asked.
She smiled. "Of course I do," she said. And we did that for the rest of the day. When Sam came into the room, I asked him about M'gann coming over and he said yes. Same thing with Martian Man-hunter.
at Cora's house during the sleep over
"So what did you want to talk about?" she asked. I took a deep breath.
"Well," I went to make sure my windows and door was closed and that nobody was within earshot of my room. "Okay, so I might have a crush on someone on the team…"
"Is it Robin?" M'gann asked.
"How'd you know?" I asked.
"Well, you're both the same age, you'd look cute together, and it's kind of obvious," she said. My face started feeling really warm.
"It's o-ob-bv-vious?" I asked.
"Kind of, well at least not to Robin," she said.
"Okay, what about you?" I asked. She immediately blushed. "Superboy?" I asked. She nodded. I smirked. "You guys would be the perfect couple. But how are you going to break the news to Wally?" I joked. She laughed.
"I don't know. I don't want to hurt him," she giggled. We both started laughing.
"Maybe we should find another girl for Wally," I said while laughing. This was too good. "This made my day," I said after we finished laughing, "I wasn't in such a good mood. We're so distant with the other team members."
"Yeah, but we'll get used to each other eventually," M'gann said, "Maybe we'll get another girl."
I hope so. And I hope that I could get close to Rob. Well, Dick really.
Robin's P.O.V
I wanted to talk to Cora and catch up with her, but I couldn't. Since she knew my identity, she might let something slip out. But I couldn't help but stare at her during practice. She's so beautiful. She's changed so much since we were kids.
"Hey, Rob," Wally said shaking me a little.
"Huh?" I asked.
"I lost you a minute there," he said with a smirk, "Who is she?"
"What?!" I asked.
"Your obviously thinking about a girl," he said, "You have that stupid grin and everything."
"You mean the stupid grin you try to use on M'gann," I taunted. He growled but dropped the subject. Good.
M'gann and Cora were having a sleep over. Maybe I could drop by and say hi. I left Mt. Justice for New York City. I climbed up her window. You know, a little surprise. I tried to open a window when I realized they were talking about me.
"It's o-ob-bv-vious?" Cora asked. What's obvious?
"Kind of, well at least not to Robin," M'gann said. What are they talking about? What didn't I know about? What was so obvious that I didn't see? I was about to listen to the rest of their conversation when I accidently slipped and fell off the side of the mansion and onto my back. I need to know what they were talking about. But I can't just ask. Maybe I can bring it up in a conversation tomorrow. Or I could find out something from Wally.
I went to Gotham and to the manor. Alfred was waiting for me there already.
"Good evening, Master Dick," he greeted.
"Hey Alfred," I said. I went to call Wally.
(Phone convo.)
Wally: Hey Rob.
Robin: Hey, I went to go say hi to Cora and M'gann and I sort of eavesdropped on their conversation.
Wally: Really? Were they talking about me?
Robin: No, but they were saying something about me. Is there something you know about Cora that I don't?
Wally: Not that I know of.
Robin: (sigh) Okay, see ya tomorrow then.
I hung up and went to bed, thinking about M'gann and Cora's conversation.
Author's Note: This chapter was short and sort of a filler but I'll try to update and get Chapter 5 up which is where everything is going to happen. Things are going to change a lot for Cora now. It all starts… next chapter. Please rate and review!
