Chapter 9: Remember me?
M'gan was trying to find Persiana or Wonder Girl. She needed some advice on a situation she was having.
Ever since joining Titans East, the young Martian teen had developed a slight crush on Connor Kent, the hero known as Superboy. However, she was too shy on how to ask or to tell him how she felt. M'gan thought about talking with Donna or Farrah.
She sensed Donna in her room, brushing her hair, humming a song. The young Martian teen phased through the door and said,
"Donna?"
The Amazon, a little startled, spun around. She was relieved to know it was her friend,
"Meg. What is it?"
Miss Martian floated to the mirror and sat cross-legged, sighing,
"I need your help in something."
Wonder Girl nodded,
"OK."
M'gan blushed,
"I like Connor."
At this, Wonder Girl looked at her teammate,
"What?"
M'gan nodded,
"I really like him, Donna, but I do not know how to tell him."
She asked,
"How did you tell Roy you liked him?"
Donna blushed at that,
"Well, I didn't exactly tell him…"
Several weeks ago…
Roy was busy working on the T-Jet with Farrah. Farrah had gone in and checked the systems, while the archer was outside working on some maintenance. Donna walked in and noticed Roy, in coveralls, underneath the jet. Smiling evilly, she walked up to him and spun him around, whispering seductively,
"I want you."
She planted a passionate kiss on his lips, not even caring he was dirty. That spun Speedy's head for a loop and he had a silly smile on his face. He said dreamily,
"What a woman."
Present…
M'gan nodded,
"So I should just show affection to him, right?"
Donna shook her head,
"No, it's just…well…I have only been in Man's World for a short period of time, and I just…Roy is not like any man I have ever met. Maybe you should ask Farrah. She has lived in Man's World her whole life."
The young Martian teen thought about it and nodded. She flew away, phasing through the door.
As she was trying to look for Farrah, she could overhear cackling coming from Supergirl's room. She peered in and noticed the Kryptonian teen plotting to get her Simon,
"What should I do? Should I lie in wait, or go after him?"
M'gan pulled out, a little frightened. She then went looking for Persiana.
Persiana was in her room, perching near the window. Her ears twitched when she heard Megan approach,
"Hello, Meg."
M'gan, who had only phased partially through the room, was surprised. She went through and solidified, asking,
"How did you know I was here?"
Farrah balanced on her hands and arched her spine, slinking her back into a tight flip and handstand. She smiled,
"I could detect your scent."
She balanced on one hand, adding,
"You like Connor, don't you?"
The young Martian heroine was stunned,
"Did you overhear my conversation with Donna?"
Farrah shook her head,
"No, silly. I sometimes could catch you looking at Connor the way I look at fish, or Lance."
She stood up and approached her friend,
"Meg, just tell him how you feel about him. I'm sure he won't turn you down."
The Martian teen was nervous,
"But, what if he does not like me?"
Farrah studied her friend carefully,
"I'll tell you what; you and I are going shopping."
M'gan was confused,
"Why would I need clothes when I can just shape-shift my own?"
Farrah looked at her,
"That would make you naked. Besides, I need to get out and stretch for a while."
She popped her hips, a smile on her face,
"That felt good."
Miss Martian gave her friend a surprised look,
"You scare me sometimes."
Farrah grinned,
"Don't I know it."
Later…
M'gan and Farrah, disguised in their human guises, were walking around the mall. The young Martian already had a shopping bag full of clothes Farrah had picked out, but the lioness insisted that was not enough. The two stopped into a shoe store and were busy trying on various shoe sizes.
M'gan looked at a pair of scandalous high heels,
"I still do not see how this will get Connor to like me."
Farrah, who was trying on a pair of red high heels, grinned,
"Easy; clothes make the woman. When Connor sees you in those, he'll flip."
She looked in a mirror,
"And when Lance sees me in these, so will he."
The feline heroine took off the shoes and was starting to put hers on when a voice purred,
"Red always was your favorite color. Right, Farrah?"
Farrah's eyes shot open as she dropped the shoe box. M'gan looked at her and could easily sense something the White Martian did not before; horror. Farrah was horrified beyond belief.
Persiana slowly turned around and saw a blonde haired woman with a long-haired male. The male was lean, but quite strong, and the woman had a lithe build about her. The male was Sebastian Balleros, the male Cheetah. He was disguised with an image inducer, courtesy of his new girlfriend, Dr. Eve Willows. Eve was also Farrah's mother, the woman that experimented on her own daughter.
Eve smiled and tilted her head,
"Fancy meeting you here, Farrah. How are things?"
Farrah could not talk; she was trembling all over. Her hands were shaking and tears were starting to well up.
M'gan knew who Sebastian was, but not Eve. However, she knew Eve was bad and stepped in,
"You're frightening my friend."
Her voice was eerily calm, yet threatening. Sebastian, however, smirked,
"It appears the cat has Farrah's tongue, doesn't it?"
Eve had the same evil grin,
"Yes, it does."
She tried to approach, but M'gan got in her way. The disguised Martian said,
"You do not wish to make me mad. You would not like me when I am mad."
Sebastian deliberately invaded Farrah's personal space, growling with pleasure,
"Even in your human form, you are beautiful. I have no intention of taking you away from your boyfriend. Rather, my interests are more…physical."
The lioness closed her eyes, trying to get whatever naughty thoughts she had out. She knew she should not be thinking of anyone else but Lance, but there was something about this, something that Farrah found arousing.
Farrah opened her eyes and could see M'gan wanting to change into her White Martian form, but grabbed her arm, near panic in her voice,
"Meg, you can't!"
M'gan turned to her friend. She could sense the overwhelming fear and anxiety the were-lioness was experiencing and decided not to make a scene. However, she did send a telepathic message to the Titans. She knew someone would answer.
Eve shook her head,
"Well, I really wish we could stay and catch up, Farrah, but I have to be going. People to see, things to do, places to go…"
She added, an insane glint in her eyes,
"Lives to reshape."
The geneticist winked,
"See you later."
Sebastian growled with delight and stared darkly, easily towering over Farrah. They then left.
The were-lioness was never more shaken in her whole life. She curled up into a ball and pressed hard against one of the shelves. M'gan knelt near her,
"Are you all right?"
Farrah looked at her friend, fear lacing every word as she said,
"Take me home. Now."
Miss Martian nodded, but there was something else besides fear she was sensing from her Earthling friend. It was rage; hot, insatiable rage.
