Chapter 8: After the First Date…

Klarion's POV

I was still on a daze when Reina left.

"Drool will start falling out if you don't close your mouth." Teekl says to me as she paws at my legs.

"Oh, shut it, Teekl." I mutter as I straighten and compose myself.

"You again forgot to ask something~" Teekl says in a song-song voice.

"I know! It's about the shades!" I exclaim but then relax, remembering, "But I could still ask tomorrow. I have another date with lovely Reina." I say smugly.

"That's true, but knowing you, you will forget again because you are so infatuated with her."

"I will not forget. I'll prove it tomorrow." I say with a huff.

"Whatever you say, Klarion." Teekl sighs but I can tell she has something more to say. "Klarion?"

"What?"

"Do you really like Reina?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course I do. Why else would I still go out with her?"

"What I am trying to say is that do you think you and Reina can have a future together?" Teekl asks softly as I pick her up.

I became silent at this. "If you are implying that I want her to be my girlfriend then yes." I admit. "She is different from all the others that I have met."

"Is it just because of her magic abilities? That was the main reason why you even wanted to see her again."

"That is true, but she is also very pretty. I think she is the prettiest of all the human girls that I have seen. Hell, if she went to Limbo Town, she would be the prettiest there, in my opinion that is."

"So you like her because of her magic and physical beauty."

"I also like her personality. Though, I do wish for her to stop flirting." I say as I pout.

"She flirted at you too, remember? So you want her to stop flirting, including you?" Teekl retorts.

I just huff as I feel my cheeks heating up a bit remembering what that girl does to me. Well, she's not really a girl; she's more of a woman than a girl. Girls are usually shy and meek. A woman is bold and confident, like Queen Bee. Reina is a woman, even though she looks around 15 or 16 human years old. She knows that she is sensual, a temptress, and uses it in her favor. And I am saying this from first-hand experience. That woman has me under her spell.

"I thought so. You enjoy it." Teekl teases. "You enjoy it when she touches you or talks to you in an alluring voice. I can feel the pleasure you feel when she does that."

"You are not wrong Teekl." I say as I try to take Reina away from my mind. I open a portal and disappear.


Reina's POV

We had just finished that last show of the day. The five of us are now chilling in the dressing room. However, Iago had to say something.

"So, how was your date with devil boy?" He asks from his perch.

"Devil boy? Really?" I deadpan.

"Hey, he styles his hair like if he has some devil horns. Plus, I can tell that he is no angel." Iago huffs as he looks pointedly at me.

"You have a point." I say with a sigh. "But since when are you interested in my dating life?" I ask as I raise an eyebrow at him.

"Never. But I was just curious." Iago says as he looks away while crossing his wings against his chest. "This is the first time that you dated someone who uses magic. It might have been different from the rest that you had."

"Come on tell us, Rain." Genie says as he changes his eyes to make them impossibly big and cute as seen in cartoons. Then he morphs his body to be a cute blue kitty. "We are just curious. Pretty please~" He sing songs as he blinks his cute-eyes at me. Goddamnit.

"Argh! You know that's cheating." I growl out with a pout on my face as I look away. "Fine!" I yell out as I made a chair come behind me so that I could sit. I sit down with a pout still on my face as I cross one leg over the other and cross my arms against my chest.

So I start my tale about the date. Well, most of it. I didn't mention how I flirted. Those details are between Klarion and me.

When I finished everyone had their jaw hanging. Well, except for Carpet, for obvious reasons, but if he had a face, he would be doing the same.

"You are going on another date with him?!" Iago shouts out as he flaps his wings and his feathers fluff out. Carpet is floating above while his top tassels are moving erratically. Abu is screeching while jumping up and down while looking angry at me. And finally Genie still has his jaw dropped to the floor, literally.

"Yes I am. Something you want to say?" I ask as I narrow my eyes at him.

"Say?! Yes I do have something to say! You have NEVER and I repeat NEVER gone on a second date with the same guy!" He shouts as his feathers fluff out and I can practically see the steam out of his ears. "What is so special about devil boy?!"

"Is someone jealous~?" I ask in a sing song voice as I poke his chest.

"What me?! Jealous! NO!" Iago shouts as he swipes my finger away from him and has an angry pout while he looks away from me.

"He is just worried." Abu says as he comes near me and I offer him my arm. He climbs on and sits on my shoulder. "I'm worried too. I think we all are." He says as his eyes become large and glint against the light.

Iago grumbles but he doesn't deny it.

"I feel touched that you all worry, but why should you guys worry? I'm the most powerful sorceress in the universe. That was the wish. Right, Genie?" I say as I look at my blue friend.

"Yeah. You are the most powerful of this universe." Genie says as he walks near me while looking worried. "But that does not mean that you are the most powerful of all. In this universe you are, but there are other universes, so technically, someone else could be more powerful than you."

"Ah, you guys think that Klarion is more powerful than me?"

"Yeah, I mean, as you said, he is not from this dimension."

"Exactly. This dimension. If I'm not wrong, just because he is from a different dimension, it does not mean that he is from a different universe. Klarion's dimension is probably located in our universe." I inform.

"How are you sure?" Iago asks.

"I'm not, I'm just guessing." I shrug. "But is that the only thing that you all are worried about?" I ask softly as I look at the four of them.

It was abnormally silent until Genie broke it. "I'm worried that Klarion could hurt you physically and emotionally." He says as he pulls me to a side hug. "I know that you are strong, but all of us know that your heart is fragile." He is says softly as he hugs me tighter.

Abu and Iago looked at me with sad eyes. I feel my own eyes stinging with threatening tears. They speak the truth. With the magic I have, I can do so many things, yet, I cannot heal my heart. I don't think it will ever be, if I am being honest to myself.

They saw how I basically cried my heart out for many nights. The four of them were, no, they are my anchor.

Silently I pull all of them into a hug which they all hug back.

As my heart clenches in pain, my mind keeps wandering to Klarion. He is different, but not so much in a bad way that I don't want to see him anymore. I know that I am developing some sort of small crush on him, but nothing more. Though, I can't help but feel smug when I see him get flustered and jealous because of me.

I wonder what his expression would be I tell him that I am leaving Gotham in two days from today.

To ChocoholicDiabetic1412: Yes, Young Justice will make an appearance, but not until a few more chapters. I hope you can wait until then.

To everyone reading, please review. It's discouraging how I see that many more people are following and/or have add as their favorite for this story and there are less reviews. It makes me lose motivation for this story after being so pumped up for it.

So please review, if it's not to much to ask. Thank you so much for reading.
