Kate's POV

I'm standing underneath the glittering glass pyramid of the Louvre, home of the famous Mona Lisa, among many other masterpieces. Around me, people laugh and talk, all here for the art show of Tomas Desjardins, an up and coming artist. Except me. I'm here because Nightwing received an anonymous tip that Vandal Savage would be here tonight. So he picked me to do surveillance, the up close and personal kind. Sighing, I scratch my arm and look around for tall, big, and dark-skinned man. I chose a purple silk dress with long bell sleeves and a loose skirt that fell just past my knees. I pinned my hair up into a loose bun, and put on some light make-up. I shift my weight from one foot to the other, grateful that I'm only wearing kitten heels, unlike some of the other women. Just then I notice a familiar figure. Frowning, I casually stroll over to the same painting as the person.

"Hello Kaldur," I say, staring straight ahead. I can see him gazing at me out of the corner of my eye.

"Kate. You look lovely tonight," he says softly.

"Save it," I hiss. "I'm going to say my piece, and then I'm leaving. Why you gave Nightwing that tip, I don't know, but I don't really care. You left me. I loved you. I was ready to spend the rest of my life with you. And you left. Because your old love died and your father turned out to be Black Manta. Big whoop. It's no excuse to just leave everyone that cared about you." He opens his mouth to speak, but I furiously cut him off. "And don't apologize either. I'll never forgive you, not after what you've done. And I…" my voice trails off as I spot Savage weaving through the crowd, headed towards a plain door marked 'Employees Only.' Frowning, I follow, Kaldur behind me. "Go away," I mutter. "I have a job to do." He grabs my hand, pulling me to a halt. I glare into his gray eyes before looking down at our joined hands, mine pale, his dark and webbed. "Let go," I say, giving a half-hearted tug.

"No. Savage is a dangerous criminal, and I refuse to let you go after him alone. At least call in for back-up," he pleads.

"In case you haven't noticed, we're in Paris, France. Back-up will take too long. Now let go!" I reply.

"Then I'm going with you," he says with a determined look.

"Whatever," I mutter, rolling my eyes. I head towards the door I saw Vandal go through a few minutes ago. When I enter, I realize it's a service hallway, gray and dingy, not meant for the public's eyes. I follow the hall, Kaldur always two steps behind me. As we go deeper and deeper, I realize something. "This goes to the vaults, doesn't it?" I murmur. I pick up my pace slightly, hoping to catch Vandal in the act. Just then I hear footsteps and voices, talking about night shifts. Guards. I freeze, but Kaldur doesn't. He pushes me against the wall, and kisses me. My arms automatically wrap around his shoulders as I kiss him back. I feel weak, and I cling to Kaldur even more. I've missed this so much. Not kissing in particular, although I like it (Kaldur tastes like the ocean), but being part of something more than yourself. Not being 'her,' but being 'them.' This is how the guards find us, as a couple just looking for a private spot. They kindly escort us back to the party, Kaldur's arm around my waist, me blushing. As soon as they're gone, I turn on him.

"What was that for?" I practically shout. Noticing the looks we're getting, I lower my voice. "Why did you kiss me?" My eyes search his face for the answer.

"We needed an excuse to be there, so I made one," he replies, looking down. My heart falls. Wrong answer.

"Well it was a lousy excuse," I mutter before turning to search the crowd. Seeing no one resembling Vandal, I head outside. I breathe deeply, grateful for the fresh air. I head out of the complex to the Jardins de Tuileries across the street. I sit down on a bench and look at the moon, nearly full. Someone sits down beside me, and I know it's Kaldur. "What now?" I ask.

"I would like to apologize for earlier. It was wrong of me to-" I cut him off by gently placing my lips on his in a short, chaste kiss.

"Just don't mess with people's emotions next time," I whisper before standing up. I hear a car door slam, and my head whips around. There's a nondescript black car parked on the side of the street. I can't make out the driver, but in the back is Vandal Savage. He sees me, and smugly holds up a black box that looks like it would hold jewelry. The car drives off, and I turn back around, furious.

"This was all a set-up, wasn't it? Wasn't it?!" I scream at Kaldur, who looks shocked. "How could you do this to me!" I turn, growling. "Stupid, stupid, stupid," I say to myself. "Why'd you trust him? Never trust a villain." My scolding is cut off when Kaldur places his hand on my shoulder and looks at me with his sad gray eyes.

"Kate, I'm truly sorry, I didn't-"

"Don't do this! Don't you dare apologize!" I whisper hotly, tears forming in my eyes. "Because every time you do, I miss you even more, and I fall in love with you all over again!" His eyes widen. "There I said it! I still love you!" Turning, I scream at the top of my lungs. "I'm still in love with Kaldur! A turncoat and traitor! But I still love him!" I start to storm off, but Kaldur grabs my hand.

"The real reason I kissed you was because I miss you too," he whispers. It's too much. A sob breaks loose, and Kaldur drops my hand and moves as if to hug me.

"No, just stay away. Stay away," I say, stumbling backwards. I turn on my heel and run off, my vision blurred by tears beginning to fall. I run until I reach the zeta tube, run through the cave, and I don't stop until I'm in Kaldur's old room, where I curl up on his bed and cry myself to sleep.

Ariana's POV:

I'm sitting on the couch reading The Odyssey while Megan is making breakfast and yapping about her personal life. I just zone her out. But what really bugs me is the weird glare Batgirl is giving me. I sense someone coming, glancing out of the corner of my eye, I see Kate in the doorway. Her eyes were red and puffy. Really, again? I sigh. Still reading, I tap the couch beside me. She notices and sits down.

"Tell me what happened," I say telepathically. She looks taken aback.

"What are you talking about?" I gave her a sideways glance and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh please, I'm a master at this. Your eyes are red and puffy." Kate sighed.

"I saw Kaldur last night."

"And?"

"And...I yelled at him. And we kissed. Then I yelled at him again. Oh and Vandal Savage has some jewels from the Louvre." I roll my eyes.

"Really? You're still upset over that?" Kate glares at me.

"Well I wasn't, but then he kissed me! And said that he missed me!" I'm silent. Okay, let's figure this out. My mind races. I give her a stern look.

"Look. I've been in this situation before. Being a villain. And if he's acting like this, then he isn't one of the truly evil villains. He still has some good. And if you're still hung up on him, then that's okay, but you don't have to take it this seriously. What I'm saying is, you don't have to be so upset over this. You're strong, I know you are. Stronger than me actually. So you need to move past this...alright."

Kate gives a weak smile. "Thanks. You know exactly what to say." Reaching over she hugs me. I become shocked, so did everyone else.

"I advise that you not to lose your head over a guy, the most important trait you should seek is the strength within yourself." Kate laughs and lets go.

"True," she says normally. I smile, but it quickly fades. Something doesn't seem right, so I continue reading my book. Suddenly something comes flying towards the side of my face. I catch it with two fingers before it strikes my cheek. Kate yelps. I glanced at the thin object between my fingers, it's a Batarang. A smirk appeared from the corner of my lips.

"Failed again Bat Boy." I heard him crackle in the distance. I saw him leaning on the door frame.

"I thought you wouldn't get this one," he said in a cocky voice. I roll my eyes, and threw the Batarang at the door frame, almost hitting his cheek. His eyes widen.

"Try again in a few hours, I'll still catch it."

He doesn't look pleased, "Whatever Arie." He turns on his heel and walks away.

Poor Kate she looks so confused, "What just happened?"

I laugh at her innocence, "Bat Boy is testing me, seeing my reflexes. It's quite annoying though, I mean he did it all day yesterday and now today? That guy doesn't give up."

Kate pouts, "I'm crying my guts out while she's flirting with Nightwing."

"I resent that!" I bark at her. She gives that caught expression. "We are not flirting," I say.

Kate smiles, "Yeah sure..." I could hear the hint of sarcasm in her voice. My eyes narrow, and my aura becomes threatening. Kate backs away a little, Batgirl butts in.

"Kerli," I look over at her, "do you have this thing for Nightwing?"

I stare at her dumbfounded, "I what?"

She just rolls her eyes in distaste, "Never mind."

I shoot Kate a confused look, she just shrugs. Megan finally said breakfast was ready, suddenly everyone was in the kitchen. I raise an eyebrow, and Kate laughs. "It's always like that." I slam my book closed making her jump.

"I'm not really hungry at the moment," I say getting up from the couch. Kate gives me a worried look. I know she knows it not like of me to miss a meal, since I'm a huge glutton. Well to her I am...and it's true. I bet she can guess she's not the only one here suffering from their own problems. Not even me in particular, I can sense that everyone one here is suffering in their own way. But I have to deal with my problems alone, and I know they can't be solved. "I'll be in the library if you need me," I tell her. She just simply nods in reply.

I walk out of the room and to the library. I'm about to reach for the doorknob untilthere is a sharp pain in my head. Flashes begin to play in my head. I see a boy around the age of sixteen with golden hair and eyes, and a girl around fourteen with bleach blonde hair and bright blue eyes. "Arie...," the boy whispers. My eyes shoot open, and I grit my teeth. I have a bad feeling about this.

The future is in the past! (I'll give a secret prize to anyone who can guess what show that is from!) Any-who, hoped you liked the chapter! And if you have any questions please don't be shy, review and ask. Well just review period. Also the quote, "I advise that you...blah blah blah seek self-strength blah blah." Is not mine. It actually comes from the awesome manga (game also), Heart no Kuni no Alice (Alice in the country of Hearts) Sunflower wanted me to give credit for that...so I did. Also can anyone guess what those song lyrics are from in the top author's note :D? Also secret prize to who figures it out. Oh last thing... REVIEW because I own all of your souls! Dictator out.

sunflower: Yeah, KaldurxKate drama! Hope you enjoyed it. You should tell us in a review. Seriously, we're addicted to them.
