Chapter 9
"Sparrow! Dude, get up!" I staggered from bed. I looked at my alarm clock. Oh crap; 8:55! I had five minutes to get ready and I hadn't even showered yet! I decided to just slip on a different costume for combat. I picked a deep blue spandex bottom, a plain black shirt, and of course, my cloak. I decided not to wear shoes. I'm much more mobile without. I grabbed the bottom of my cloak and headed out the door. I crashed into the redhead kid, though.
"Hey, Sparrow! Need a lift?" He held out his arms and I shrugged.
"Sure. I'll take it." I climbed into his arms and along we ran. Once we got there, everyone was staring at us. Aqualad looked at me with hostile eyes. He gave me a sly look.
"Nice butt, Sparrow." I blushed and hopped out of his arms. I stood there awkwardly.
"ALRIGHT! GET IN LINE!" I stood there.
"You need a serenade, princess? Get in the line!" I stood in the line behind them.
"Okay; Wally. You'll be sparring with Sparrow." I looked at 'Wally'. Oh, Redhead.
"Alright, Dick. I'll go." I furrowed my brow. Was 'Dick' his name or his nickname? Oh well, I guess I'd ask later. I stood across from Wally.
He lunged at me. I evaded his attacks, which weren't easy to do, because he's fast as light.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Black magic crackled from my palms. It wrapped around Wally, restraining his power use. But I needed concentration and meditation. I hadn't meditated for a few days, so that was hard to do. He escaped from my bindings and ran towards me. He punched my jaw and Charlie horsed me. Robin was just about to declare Wally as the winner, but then my demon side came out. I flew up high and I grew four red eyes. My smile went devilish also. Tentacles flew out from under my cloak and grabbed Wally. His eyes went wide and he tried to run away. But I griped him tight and pulled him under my cloak.
"Scath shall come. Scath shall claim. Scath shall come. He shall claim…" My voice had a deep demonic undertone. Everyone stared at me. The room was filled with fire.
"Sparrow! Stop!" I gasped and floated back down. I backed away. Robin and Aqualad ran to help Kid Flash. He was shivering and looking at me with bulging eyes.
"You're going to be alright…" Robin rubbed Wally and looked at me with surprise.
"Dude, what's your deal?" Beast Boy looked pissed. Cyborg just looked confused. I ran out of the gym, tears streaming down my face.
"Sparrow! Wait!" I turned around to see Robin running after me. I started to run again. But he kept following me. As I turned around again, he was still following me. I ran out the door. I had to stop or else I'd ruin my cloak. He ran after me.
"What do you want? Probably to kick me out for hurting Wally, huh?" Robin sat down next to me. He grabbed a rock and tossed it at the water.
"No. I just wanted to ask you a question…" I looked at him.
"Well?"
"How'd you do that?"
"Well, my daddy's a demon. So, whenever I get angry, he kind of comes out. I can't control it…unless I meditate." He looked generally interested.
"How do you meditate?" I smiled. I faced him and he faced me.
"Well first you do this." I took both his hands and started to float. He was still on the ground.
"I can't float, Sparrow." I laughed and used my power to lift him up.
"Now you say 'Azarath Metrion Zinthos'…" He repeated after me and we shared in meditation. We were like that for about ten minutes until he pulled away and fell. I looked down at him.
"I-I have to go…" He ran back inside. I quirked an eyebrow and sent my soul to follow him.
"Where were you, Dick?" Kid Flash asked, sitting on Aqualad's lap.
"I was alone with Sparrow. We were meditating together." Cyborg smirked cheekily. Beast Boy copied that smirk.
"You were alone with Sparrow?" Cyborg teased. Beast Boy grinned.
"We mediated! Nothing else." He turned red.
"The redder you go, dude, the more we don't believe you." Beast Boy said pointedly.
"I think you've feeling for this 'Sparrow'." Aqualad said, shoving Wally off his lap.
"What? No!"
"Sure you just watch him, blush when his name is said, and dream about him." Robin turned fifty shades of red.
"Now you can't deny it, dude." Beast Boy said, smirking once again.
"Shut up!"
"Stop it, Logan!" Robin ran out of the room.
"He's in deep…"
"Yeah…too bad he doesn't know a thing about being human. Or having feelings!" Aqualad said.
"Yeah, Sparrow should totally get together with Robin. He could totally make him less tense. If you know what I mean…" Kid Flash said. Everyone laughed. I sent my soul back to my body. I flashed into the Ops. Room.
"So, what's this I hear about me and Robin?" Everyone jumped at my entrance.
"Where you here the whole time?" I nodded.
"Uh…hehehe…" Kid Flash jumped behind the couch.
"Robin likes me?"
"Uh…." They all jumped behind the couch. I rolled my eyes and walked away. I needed a cold bath.
Robin's finally coming into terms with his feelings :)! How beautiful! Review and Favorite. Grammar Nazis and Flamers welcome!
