Hey ya'll! Sorry it took forever to update this again, but I squeezed in a last minute visit to my my grandparents before school started, and now I have homework. My friend (who we'll call Shadow) has absolutely no excuse. She's on vacation for another week and a half. Well, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice, only Kate and kind of Tori.

Kate's POV

The whole team and I are walking back to the cave after going to see "The Lorax" at the Happy Harbor Cinema.

"Oh, Once-ler, you are probably the hottest villain ever," Sparrow says with a small chuckle. She is tightly gripping a "The Lorax" poster in one hand and flailing her other hand back and forth in the most annoying and childish way possible. A large grin spreads across from her face and she begins skipping backwards, occasionally looking back so she won't back up into someone or trip.

"You think a guy that would lie to animals and cut down trees is hot," Robin questions, a smile also on his face. Sparrow shrugs.

"Badness has nothing to do with looks," I say.

"I'm surprised you to were able to see the movie properly with your sunglasses on," Kaldur comments.

"Of course we could. 'Cuz we're awesome like that," Sparrow says and turns back around. Suddenly, her phone begins to vibrate and her ringtone comes on. It plays "prelude 1221" by AFI. She pulls the phone out her pocket and answers it with a polite, "Hello."

The smile that was previously on her face drops. "Yeah, I hear you. Are you sure? Uh-huh. Okay, keep an eye on him until I get there. Yes. Goodbye." Sparrow's final words are rough and slightly angry. She takes a deep breath and lets it out as a sigh.

"Sorry guys I got to go run an errand. I'll see you back at the base. Okay?" she apologizes.

"Again?" Wally asks.

"Yeah, sorry it's important," Sparrow says before running off. We all just stand there and watch her as she soon disappears from sight.

"Do we all agree that was quite… suspicious?" Kaldur asks. We all nod in agreement. Sparrow has been leaving a lot lately in the past week. None of us question it, but we were getting curious. This also reminded me of a certain event that happened to Sparrow around the time she started "running errands."

"Kate."

"Huh?" I look up to see the rest of the team looking at me.

"You look like you have something to say," Robin says. I shift awkwardly from all the eyes.

"W-well, I don't really want to raise suspicions about Sparrow. I mean she's our friend and we should respect her privacy and …."

"Kate."

"Fine, calm down. A few days ago Sparrow, Megan and I went shopping…" Robin gives me a look that says, "Pfft, Sparrow shopping."

"Okay, Megan and I went shopping and Sparrow held the bags," I correct myself.

"Megan saw a cute top she wanted to try on and said she'd be out in a minute. While Sparrow and I were waiting for her a suspicious looking man started walking towards us. There was a glint which I guess came off of Sparrow's shades, but at the moment I almost thought their necks had glowed. Crazy, right? Anyways, so she and the guy started talking in some kind of foreign language. Sparrow wasn't smiling and it kinda scared me. Then the man said something and Sparrow yelled at him. The man said something along the lines of an apology and then handed Sparrow two small metal cases. Sparrow put them in her pocket and the man walked away. When I asked her about it she simply said it was nothing, and that's about when she started leaving randomly," I end with a sigh. When I look up I see that everyone has puzzled or curious faces.

"Uh, but we shouldn't accuse her of anything," I add waving my arms, "Sparrow's our teammate and if she said it was an errand it was an errand, okay."

There was a pause and then everyone murmurs a "yes." I look at each of them before squinting my eyes.

"You guys are going to pelt her with questions once she gets back to the base, aren't you?"

"Pretty much," Artemis says calmly before she starts walking towards the base. I stand there my mouth gaping as I watch the rest of the team agree and follow Artemis.

"Sparrow's going to be mad," I mutter under my breath before walking after them.

Later

"No, it's none of your business," Sparrow growls.

"Aw, come on Tweety-bird," Wally pleads. Everyone else had just about given up on asking Sparrow about what happened except Robin and Wally, and at the moment Wally had just about ran out of tricks. All he has gotten are angry glares and snarls.

"Hey, Rob, we've got to go. Bats said that we need to go to do that thing later," Sparrow says in a bored tone, completely ignoring the now defeated Kid Flash.

"Yeah, okay," Robin says before waving goodbye.

"Dude, it's all up to you," I hear Wally whisper to Robin. Robin flashes a smile and nods before he and Sparrow enter the zeta tube. I swat Wally on the arm.

"We could, you know, trust her," I say, frowning.

"But where's the fun in that?" he replies in a singsong voice.

I roll my eyes. "Whatever, I'm going to the library." I walk down the hall to my favorite room in the entire cave. I absolutely love to read. Browsing the shelves, I notice a few books on Atlantis. I bite my lip, hesitating, before I grab all three of them and sit down. I soon lose myself in the magical underwater world. Glancing up at a clock on the wall, I see that several hours have passed. I'm suddenly aware of how tired I am. Yawning, I pick up the books and head to the door. Right as I leave the library, I bump into someone, scattering my books. Looking up, I see that it's Kaldur.

"My apologies," he says as he bends down and picks up my books. "I thought no one was in here, so I was coming to turn the lights off." He glances down at the cover of one of the books. "You are interested in Atlantis?" I nod, having lost my ability to speak. "If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Well, you must be tired, so I won't be keeping you any longer." He hands me my books, and I practically sprint back to my room. I flop down on my bed. Ergh! Why did I have to act like a giggly schoolgirl around Kaldur? Sure, he was handsome, and sweet, and polite, and smart, and caring, and….I groan into my pillow. I do NOT like Kaldur! Okay…maybe a little bit. Why does everything have to be so complicated?

Yeah, so if we weren't clear on pairings already, we are now. Kaldur/Kate and Tori/Robin. And I understand if some of you don't have time, but please, if you follow or favorite this story, review also.
