~December in El Paso~
I walked into the school, trying to locate the team's newest member. Blue Beetle, Jaime Reyes. Sure, he wouldn't recognize me, but might as well say hi, right? I passed down a hallway that looked a bit rowdy. The boys on either side giving me a weird look.
"Oh looky here boys. A new girly to play with." Great, just like the first day at my old school... only Jason got me out of that situation. I was grabbed by one of the boys, and slammed against a locker.
"Hey, what do you think you're- mmmpf!" The oldest of the boys put his hand over my mouth, while the others swarmed me. I suddenly felt my skirt being yanked down, I bit down on the oldest boy's hand, with enough force to draw blood. I then kicked at the other boys, trying to break free
"You little bitch!" The boy retracted his hand in pain, but then pinned me to the locker. "Too bad there's no one around to save you."
I bit my lip, before screaming loudly in a fashion I'd never tried before. "KYAAAAAAAA!"
"Still, no one to hear you." Another boy hissed.
"I heard her." I heard a familiar voice, craning my neck to see Jaime Reyes standing in the hall. "and I would suggest you let her go."
"How bout... hm... No." The oldest boy pressed me against his body and the locker. I struggled under his weight. Jaime saw, running over to use all his strength to pull the boy off.
I instantly latched onto his arm, seeing fear in the gruff boy group's eyes. They scrambled away quickly, leaving Blue Beetle and I in the hall. I looked to the ground by the lockers, seeing the torn, tattered remains of my skirt.
"What's your name? Are you alright? What did those boys do to you?" Jaime started demanding questions.
I picked up the remaining fabric of my skirt, then tying my jacket into a makeshift skirt. I looked back at Jaime, once again latching onto his arm. "T-Thank you, Ja-" I caught myself, looking at the floor.
"Will you please answer my questions now? Why were you in that hallway?"
"I... I was looking for a friend of my cousin... " I looked at him "My name is Tieve Drake."
"Tieve...?" Jaime looked at me, then appeared to be speaking to himself. "Yes, I know Nightwing and Robin have conversed about a girl name Tieve, now shut up!"
"I have an idea of what those boys were trying to do, and am still a little shaken up by it." I looked at him, then narrowing my eyes. "I'm looking for someone named Jaime Reyes."
Blue was caught off-guard by that, he looked startled, but then smiled, hugging me. "Tieve, by any chance is your cousin's name Robin?"
"Yes, it is." I then looked down at myself. "Don't tell him about this!"
I heard him pause, leading me out of the hallway. "I won't. But I'm here for you."
"Well, while you're here, do you have an extra pair of pants?"
~Lunch~
"Aime, who's your new friend?" A tall boy got up, examining me as I sat down at a lunch table with Jaime. "And why is she wearing your pants?"
"Tye, this is my old pen-pal, Tieve. She just transferred here." Jaime smiled at me, "She's wearing my extra pair of pants because she had a run-in with Mago and his gang."
"Mago?" Tye looked at me. "What did he do to her?"
"I was wearing a skirt, for starters." I huffed, then hearing something behind me. I twisted around quickly, narrowly avoiding a dagger, which landed dead in my lunch tray. I looked up, seeing another dagger being flung in my direction, I flipped over the table and threw Tye's tray up. The dagger deflected off of it, clanking to the ground.
Jaime panickedly looked to me. "Tieve, are you alright?"
I quickly kicked the table up, deflecting more daggers, although one of them was thrown with enough force to crash through the table, landing in between Tye and I.
"I am Prince Mragon, and I must have council with the Girl Wonder or have her head!" I heard from across the room.
I peered over the table, then looked at Tye and Jaime. "Its him! Mago!" I felt for my utility belt, but could not pull it out in front of Tye and Jaime. I bit my lip. "What do we do?"
"He said he's looking for the 'Girl Wonder', doesn't he mean Wonder Girl?" Tye blinked.
"He doesn't. That's the problem." I stood up, moving around the table with my hands up. "Mragon. Put the daggers down, please."
I heard him drop his bag of daggers on the ground, then approaching me. "Girl Wonder, I have travelled to the past to end you. I could've had my way earlier if it wasn't for that boy." His hand shook, pointing at Jaime.
"Yeah, futuristic tech boy, heard that one before." I huffed, looking at my nails. Well, Rio had faced Vio-Later and ReWire in the past, right? That had to somehow count. Out the corner of my eye, I saw Tye make a run for the door, and exit. I pulled a birdarang from my utility belt, throwing them at Mago to pin him to the wall.
"Tieve, are you alright?" Jaime came over to stand next to me. "Well, that's one way to clear a cafeteria."
"Fine, thank you." I looked at Mago, slumped against the wall, held up by the fabric of his shirt pinned to the wall. "W-we should maybe get out of here... Before anything else happens?"
"Agreeable." Jaime pulled me out the door,
I heard sirens outside. I did not want to deal with that, or Nightwing. I ran down the hall, heading towards the stairs, bumping into someone. "Shoot..."
"Tieve." Rionna stared back at me, arms across her chest. Sure, she wasn't in uniform, but she was definitely here because of the commotion. "Can you kindly explain to me what's going on? Who's this boy?"
"Ri!" I looked at the ground, looking for words. "He has a name, it's Jaime. Jaime Reyes."
"A evil futuristic tech genius was throwing daggers in the cafeteria, asking to have audience with the 'Girl Wonder'." Jaime looked at Ri, totally clueless that she was Nightwing. "Tieve got up and confronted him, but he went on about killing her, so she threw something to pin him to the wall and-" Jaime stopped "Did you throw a birdarang?"
"Did you take Robin's utility belt by accident this morning?" Rionna saved me there, slightly. "You kinda left yours on the breakfast table."
"Wait. You. Her. Are you sisters?"
"Yes." I looked at Jaime, as he raised his finger again to ask another question. "Yes, we are both related to Robin."
"Then why did Mago call you 'Girl Wonder'?"
"Um, Girl, related to the Boy Wonder. Thus, Girl Wonder." Rionna slung her arm around my shoulder. She stuck her other hand out to Jaime. "Rionna Grayson, nice to meet you."
"Jaime Reyes, same to you." He shook her hand awkwardly. "So, um... we heard sirens."
"Oh right, we've got to go." Rionna quickly flipped up to the next stair landing. "C'mon, stay whelmed, let's go!"
I ran up behind her, Jaime following me, to the roof of the school. I paused seeing who was there to greet us. "Miss Martian?"
"Hey, Rionna had to get here somehow." She uncloaked the Bioship, smiling at us as the enterance appeared. "Let's go, alright?"
"Got it." Rionna nodded, dragging Jaime and I into the ship. I looked around before sitting down, the ship buckling us in. "Stop in Blüdhaven for Tieve and I, we have to speak with Nightwing. You and Jaime can continue to Mount Justice."
"Okay, Rionna." Miss Martian grabbed the steering mechanisms of the Bioship "Cloaking, on."
Jaime phased into his Blue Beetle armor, looking briefly at me. "Tieve...?"
"Hey, don't worry. I'll see you tomorrow." I swiveled around in my chair to look at him. "Thanks, Jaime."
"Arriving in Bludhaven." Miss Martian landed the Bioship on a rooftop. "Are you two alright getting home from here?"
"Fine, M'gann. Thanks for the lift." Rionna got up, motioning for me to stand up. Me stood at the bay doors for the ship. "After we talk with Nightwing, I think he'll be along shortly."
"Tieve!" Blue Beetle walked over, handing me a tab of paper. I stared at it, a phone number. "If you get in trouble, just call me, okay?"
"Thanks, Blue." I quickly punched the number into my iPhone before waving him off and exiting the ship with Rionna. As the Bioship flew away, I heard a slight 'hmph' from Rionna. "What?"
"Futuristic tech villain, and getting the number from a guy older than you, why does that sound familiar..?" Rionna smirked
"Rio!" I hit her arm. "Geez, I'm not into Jaime like 'that'!"
"O-Rio and Eve-ning." I turned around, someone else was on the rooftop, holding out uniforms. "Headed to the mountain?"
"Babs!" I grabbed onto Batgirl as quick as possible, hugging tightly, a wide grin spreading across my face.
"We need a quick costume change for both of you, then we're headed out again, alright?" Batgirl handed me my Robin uniform. "It's got the newest bind-tech incorporated into it. Soon, you won't need that glamour charm if the tech keeps getting better!"
"Babs, we'll always need the charm, binding down that much can possibly damage your ribs and really mess you up." Rionna slipped on her Nightwing costume, pressing the bird on the front to bind down. "You gotta still let the girls breathe as well."
"Boob sweat, ugh." Batgirl sighed "Don't remind me, when I had to wear your uniform, that was the breaker... it was like the inside of the uniform was a slip-n-slide."
I quickly pulled on my Robin uniform, pressing the R to bind down, and pinning my R-shaped glamour charm on top of it. "Glad I don't have to bind down as much as you did, Rio."
"Eve got lucky with the 'man-chest' there." Batgirl attached my cape as I fixed my mask to my face. "Then again, she got lucky the day she met you and Bruce."
Rionna nodded, pasting her own mask on. "That she did, and now she's a spoiled-rotten batkid. Join the club?"
"Already in it." I smirked. "Now, where's your nearest ZetaTube, cause I'm ready to serve some!"
"That's big talk for a little bird." Batgirl grabbed my hand and Nightwing's hand. "We better get going, boys."
(A/N: I was debating whether or not to add the part about Mago/Prince Mragon, but then having a link to the original Robyn story, I'd thought I'd include it. FUTURISTIC TECH VILLAINS! HUZZAH! And, no, nothing's going on between Tieve and Jaime... unless you think there is. R&R please!)
