Sorry this ones so short...I'm kinda not feeling the young justice groove lately... :'(
Drop his name
Push it in and twist the knife again
Watch my face
As I pretend to feel no pain
Kiwi moaned as she felt calloused fingers glide up her shirt and hot breath upon the back of her neck. She growled; what the hell was Harper doing to her? She reached down and grabbed his fingers, bending them back.
"Ah!" Roy cried as he yanked his hands back.
Kiwi turned around and kicked him. Roy fell off the bed as Kiwi reached and turned on he light. "What the hell are you doing?"
"What are you talking about?" Roy asked; genuinely confused.
"Don't play stupid! You were feeling me up!"
"No I wasn't. I was moving my hands."
"Yeah, up my shirt."
Roy's eyes widened slightly. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I-I swear I was only moving my hands. I didn't mean to touch you."
Kiwi narrowed her eyes, "Get out."
"What? Why?" Roy asked a she motioned to get up.
"Because I said so. You had your little fun cuddling with me. Now get out. And you BETTER not tell anyone." She crossed her arms.
Roy slanted his eyebrows backwards. "Why are you acting like this? Why are you pushing everyone away?"
Kiwi didn't answer, just looked to the side. Roy pulled his hand up and cupped it around the side of her face, brushing his thumb on her cheek. "We just want to help you. I wanted to help you."
"I don't want your help." She growled, slapping his hand away.
"Why not?"
"Because I don't care about you." Her voice was as cold as ice. Roy felt as if he'd just been slapped. He shouldn't have been shocked; but he thought-maybe being with her tonight would change their relationship one way or another. But clearly, it hadn't. She didn't care about him. Roy thought he wouldn't handle the fact that she hated him. And he really couldn't. But he didn't want her to know that. If she didn't care about him, it would be fine. But he wouldn't stick around so she could hurt him anymore.
Instead of thrashing out like he normally would; he nodded and turned his head to the side. Roy knew that she wanted a fight from Roy. But he wouldn't give her one. So he just turned around and motioned to walk out of her room. He opened the door and cocked his head back, "See you around, Kiwi."
"Screw you." She crossed her arms.
Roy walked out and slammed the door shut. He was a fool to let down his barrier. Especially towards a girl. It was his fault. He shouldn't be hurt. But he couldn't really help it…
The next morning, Kiwi was the first to wake up. She had scuttled over to the kitchen and made herself some cereal to eat. She sat at the little island by herself as she ate. M'gann was the first to awaken and float into the kitchen.
"Good morning, Kiwi. How did you sleep?" The Martian asked as she looked at her teammate.
"Sucky." Kiwi admitted.
"Oh, that's too bad." M'gann frowned. "But you know what normally makes me feel amazing after I wake up all…groggy? Is that the word? Yeah!"
Kiwi nodded, "What do you do?"
"I bake." M'gann perked.
Kiwi rolled her eyes, "Of course."
"It actually takes me mind off of a lot of stuff." M'gann walked over to the pantry and pulled out some cake mix. "You should try it."
"I shouldn't."
"But I'll help you."
"No, I'll burn the place down."
"I thought that, too. But Black Canary helped me out. Now, I'm pretty good." M'gann smiled. "I think it'd be so much fun."
Kiwi couldn't help but smile. M'gann was something else. Kiwi nodded. "I'll help."
M'gann turned to her and squealed slightly. "Yay! I'll go get two aprons." And the alien flew out the room.
A brush of wind flew past her. Kiwi blinked as the wind stopped and Wally was standing in the fridge looking for something. Once he found it, he pulled it out and opened it: a candy bar. He then turned around and walked out the kitchen, not even taking a glance at Kiwi. She narrowed her eyes as M'gann returned with the two aprons.
"Here, I think this ones fitting for you!" M'gann handed her an apron with a watermelon on it. "It's not a Kiwi, but it's close…right?"
Kiwi giggled, "Right."
As the two girls got to work, Kiwi realized that she was all wrong about M'gann. Kiwi had thought M'gann was annoying, oblivious, and…downright stupid. But she realized the obliviousness was because of her not so long time spent on earth. M'gann would accidentally speak to her telepathically and Kiwi wouldn't really mind it. She actually preferred it. M'gann was kind and didn't get mad in the least when Kiwi would spill something or ruin the whole thing. She would just laugh and start all over. M'gann loved cooking as much as she loved being around people. Which was A LOT. Kiwi felt like…a girl around M'gann. Something she'd never really felt before. Being raised by men never really gave her a chance to BE girly. She was grateful that she had at least SOMEONE to feel girly around.
Robin walked into the kitchen and yawned. "I smell something good cooking."
"Chocolate Cake." Kiwi answered as she put her hands on the table.
"Yum, when is it gonna be done?"
"Depends on if we burn this one or not." She shrugged.
"This is the fourth cake we've baked this morning." M'gann said proudly.
Robin sighed, "Looks like we're going to have to go to the grocery store later."
Superboy walked through the room with a complete frown on his face. He looked pissed. But then again, when didn't he look pissed? He walked over to the fridge.
"Good morning, Superboy." M'gann greeted happily.
"Hey," He nodded, not looking at anyone.
"Sleep well?" Kiwi asked.
"No."
"Of course not."
"Guys?" Kaldur walked in the kitchen, rubbing his eye. "Where's Roy?"
Kiwi cocked a brow as M'gann gave her a mug for coffee.
"What do you mean?" Robin asked as he sat on the stood to the small island in the middle of the kitchen.
"His room is empty. It's like he just up and left."
"Good riddance." Artemis said as she entered the room and made her way to the fridge.
Kiwi looked down at her empty mug. She wanted to run to his room and see if it was true. Did Roy really leave? Did Kiwi hurt him last night that bad? She had only said one thing...she didn't think he'd take it to heart. No. She wouldn't blame herself. It was Roy's faulty. It's always been his fault. He shouldn't have tried to get so close to her. She was cold hearted and in the short time that they knew each other, he knew how she was around him. And the fool kept trying. It was his own fault. Kiwi would not feel guilty. The only people she felt guilty for were the Rogues and Wally. She WOULD NOT have another person to be guilty about on her mind. She wouldn't feel guilty for Roy Harper...yet-.
"Hey," Robin perked up, "Where's Wally?"
"In his room." Artemis answered. "I saw him run back in with his candy bar."
"I'm surprised he's not in here eating out the kitchen." Robin joked.
The timer went off, causing everyone in the room to jump.
"Oh!" M'gann perked. "Cakes done!"
Within two minutes, M'gann had pulled out the cake and evenly cut to give to everyone. M'gann smiled as she handed Kiwi and extra plate. "Here, Kiwi. Why don't you give this one to Wally?"
"Uh, sure." She nodded as she took the plate form the Green Alien. She thought about using the super speed she copied form Wally the other night when he wasn't looking, but then she remembered, the last person she touched was Roy. So now she didn't have super speed anymore. Nope, now she's one of the greatest archers in the world. Kiwi looked up at Wally's door and knocked softly. The door swung open; Wally standing there with a blank expression on his face. The second he saw it was Kiwi, he tore his eyes away from her.
"I-uh-brought you some cake." She held out the plate.
"Hmm." Wally nodded, took the plate, and closed the door. Kiwi blinked. Wally was mad at her. Of course he was mad at her. She choked him and punched him in the face and then completely ignored him yesterday. She'd be pissed too. But... she knew the real reason for his anger: She had been talking to the Rogues. And that severed the somewhat trust Wally had for her. She was sure of it. He had tried to make an effort. Tried to trust her. And making just one little phone call ruined it all. The guilt slammed on Kiwi's head. Maybe she should apologize...no. She didn't care. She never did. She wouldn't. If Wally was mad at her. Then so be it. If Roy wanted to be a little bitch and leave. Then so be it. They didn't care about her. So she wouldn't care about them. Simple as that.
Wally looked out his window in his room. He watched Kiwi. He couldn't trust her. Not after last night. Definitely not. She was talking to the Rogues. He knew it. And couple nights ago he had been foolish enough to drop his guard. He would never do that again. Not with Kiwi. She was a traitor. And she couldn't be trusted. Wally had called up Batman and told him what she'd been doing. Wally didn't want her on the team anymore. She'd betray them. Kiwi would probably get them killed. Batman said he would handle her. But nothing has happened yet. Wally didn't eat the cake Kiwi gave him. It would have been poisoned or something. He didn't know. He couldn't be sure. He hadn't left his room either. He didn't want to engage in conversation with anyone today. He was too angry. He felt betrayed. Again. He watched her walk along the shore line wearing nothing but a bright red bikini and her goggles. He noticed a charm bracelet glimmering around her wrist. Kiwi never entered the water. Just walked. Putting one foot out, pointing her toes out and gently stepping on the wet fragile sand. Her movements were graceful. But her face…it showed no sign of anger or sadness. She would occasionally close her eyes and move her head towards the sky, the sun breaking through the murky weather and resting upon her being. Her skin sparkled against the sun; outshining it's light. And when she opened her eyes; they shimmered gloriously. She looked magnificent. Wally quickly tore his eyes away from her; feeling his pants tighten up. He closed his blinds and lay on his bed.
Kiwi was beautiful. But she was deadly. She couldn't be trusted. Wally got up and looked through the blinds again. She was gone. Getting scared, Wally jumped up and ran out of him room; towards the bay doors. Kiwi was walking in, her hair pulled back into a high ponytail, thought some strands were falling into her face.
"Hey," She waved nonchalantly.
"What were you doing outside?" Wally asked sternly.
"I can't be outside for a little while?"
"No, you can't."
She narrowed her eyes. Then looked down and shook her head with a smile. "Whatever. You wanna be a dick, then go ahead. But don't be telling me what I can and can't do."
"I can and will."
She laughed, "Oh, you're funny, Speeds, you know that?"
"My name is Wally. Stop calling me Speeds."
"I'll stop calling you Speeds when you stop acting like a little bitch and complain about everything."
Wally gripped his fist. "No." He ran up to her and got in her face. "Why don't you stop being the bitch and push everyone away! We were trying to help you! And you go and call up the Rogues! What the hell were you planning!"
"The Rogues are in prison, you asshole!" Kiwi shouted. "I called them to check up on them!"
"Or to plan an escape for them."
Kiwi pulled her head back and laughed, but there was no humor in it. "You're so full of shit, you know that, West? You don't know shit. But you always assume you do. Constantly assuming things and jumping to conclusions without even knowing the back story." She shoved him back. "Get the hell outta my face."
Wally growled at her. "Make me."
Kiwi swung her fist around. Wally, thinking that her fist was going to nick him in the face, pulled his hand up to catch her fist. Kiwi aimed low and got him in the throat. Wally gasped for air and stumbled back; holding his throat.
"There," She smirked, "You're out of my face."
Wally growled and charged at her, tackling her to the floor. She swung her arm up and punched him in the face. Wally bend down and head-butted her. Kiwi screamed and flipped them over, wrapped his slender fingers around his throat and choking him once more. Wally pulled his arm up and grabbed the strands of hair that was in her face. He yanked them down-she screamed and let go of his throat. Wally brought him hand up and palmed her in the face. She fell back, off of Wally. He jumped and got on top of her once more, pinning her down to the floor.
"Get off!" She shouted.
"No!" Wally exclaimed. "You don't deserve to be here! You're nothing but a huge ass bitch! You never want help from anyone! You're always rejecting people! And you can't be trusted for shit! All you ever do is hurt people! All you've ever done is hurt people! Barry! The Rogues! ME!"
Kiwi looked up at him; a soft expression on her face. "Wally..?"
"You were my best friend…" He said as he looked down, his face shadowed-she couldn't see his expression. "You betrayed me…"
"I-."
"WHY!" He shouted looking up at her; rage filled his face.
She growled. "You're bitching again."
Wally brought his fist up and punched her across the face.
"WALLY!" Someone shouted. He turned to see his team standing there with a shocked expression on his face. Superboy was the first to react; jumping up and tackling Wally to the ground. M'gann quickly ran up to Kiwi and helped her up. Kiwi's nose was bleeding.
"What the hell's wrong with you!" Superboy shouted as he pulled Wally up by the shirt.
"Let go of me, Superboy!" Wally ordered as he pulled at Superboy's hands.
"Superboy! Let go!" Aqualad ordered.
Superboy let go; but not before punching Wally in the face.
"Superboy!" Robin ran over to Wally, who's nose was also bleeding.
"What happened?" Kaldur asked; angry as hell.
"It's her fucking fault! She's a fucking instigator! And now, I look like the bad guy!" Wally shouted as he tried to get to Kiwi. Robin held his arms back.
"Wally," M'gann said softly, "You didn't have to punch her."
"She fucking deserved it!"
"Don't yell at her!" Artemis intervened.
"Shut the hell up, bitch! No one fucking likes you anyways!" Wally shouted.
"Wally! What has gotten into you!" Robin shouted as he pulled his best friend back.
"SHE HAS!" Wally screamed. "GET HER OUT OF HERE! BEFORE I KILL HER!"
Everyone was taken back by Wally's statement. Everyone…except Kiwi. Who was smirking.
