Well, as I follow Season 1, I have to say that Reine's story is reaching the end.
This chapter took awhile to write because I didn't know how to end it.
I also blame power outages and loss of Internet. Damn you faulty technology and inclement weather.
Anyway, thanks a bunch... At 2:00 in the morning
With Cravings for Candy,
Kurai-chan
PS: if you didn't finish season 1... SPOILER ALERT
Ch.9: Seriously?
December 29
"Really, Roy," I asked with excitement as he smiled, "Oh my gobstoppers!" I literally jumped into his arms. My arms wrapped around his neck. He hugged me and spun me around. It was elating to hear the news. "You're a member of the Justice League!" I whispered into his ear, "It's kind of attractive, you know."
Roy smirked and put me down, holding me close. (I think I swooned a little) "Really now…" he said leaning close to my face, "And what does that mean for me?"
I couldn't help but giggle, and pulled him by the shirt and into my lips. He smirked into the kiss and roughly bit them. I gave a small gasp, but gladly let him in. Our tongues played with each other. It wasn't long until I was up against the wall and Roy was on top of me. We stayed like that for awhile enjoying the intimacy.
"Hey, Reine- oh," Raquel (Rocket) said with Kaldur by her side, "Uh, we can leave you guys alone." The two of us broke apart, my face burning with embarrassment.
"Ah, it's fine," I laughed nervously taking a step back. Roy grabbed my hand before I could slip away. I smiled at him knowing he didn't want me to leave. "What's up?" I asked grasping Roy's hand tightly.
"Everyone's in the Rec Room if you want to join us."
"Sure," I said before Roy could protest, "Go ahead, we'll catch up." The two nodded and walked away.
Roy groaned, "I wanted you all to myself." I giggled and snuggled into his chest. We didn't really get to spend that much time together with everything that's been going on, the mole.
"Come on," I said looking up at him, "You and I both know you need to share. I bet they're throwing a party to celebrate your promotion."
As we walked into the room, everyone burst out in cheers. I laughed as they all congratulated Roy. He was never one for big occasions. Robin then turned on the music and Megan brought out the food. There were so many sugary things and everyone was having fun just hanging around.
"I can't believe Roy finally did it," Robin said leaning on the counter with me, "He's the first of us to make it up there."
"I know," I smiled looking into the plastic cup in my hand filled with soda, "He's the one that wanted it most too." I could still remember the first time I met Roy.
"Okay, Black Canary, I'm ready to take on the bad guys!" I grinned saluting my aunt. I was only fourteen at the time and I was so excited to finally get the chance to join Dinah in crime fighting. It had been my biggest dream.
Dinah smiled at me knowing how excited I was, "That's great Ricochet, but you have to act professional, okay? Oh, here comes Green Arrow and Speedy."
I felt my heart skip a beat. Speedy was my idol. Dinah told me all about him. How he searched for GA to become his protege after the loss of his parents. To me, he was the strongest person I'd ever seen and now I was working with him. It was like a fantasy. When I saw him in his unmistakeable red suit and yellow fedora made me want to squeal. It really felt like a dream.
"Black Canary, you really brought her out?" GA asked glancing at me.
"Of course," Dinah smiled, "Ricochet's ready to take on the dark side of Star City." I beamed with pride at the comment. Speedy, on the other hand, didn't seem to care.
"Can we please get a move on?" he asked in a slightly rude manner. I frowned, this wasn't what I expected from Speedy.
"Roy..." GA warned, "you need to be polite." I thought for a bit. Roy meant "king" and Reine meant "queen". My mouth hung open slightly.
"Hey," I said walking up to him, "Our names match in a way." He looked at me strangely as I grinned. "Roy means "king" and Reine, that's my name, means "queen"! How cool is that?" I said practically bouncing on the spot.
And to think that it took three years for Roy to fall in love with me. I smiled to myself thinking about it. To think that only a few months ago, Roy was Speedy. And now he was Red Arrow of the Justice League. "It's a great way to close out the year, don't you think?" I asked the Boy Wonder.
He laughed his signature laugh, "Definitely."
I spotted Zatana glancing over at us from the couch and smiled mischievously. "Hey, Rob, you should talk to Zatana."
"Why..."
"Oh, I don't know. You two are about the same age and all."
"Reine, why do I have the feeling that you said something you shouldn't have?"
"Robby! I'm hurt that you'd think that!" I said mocking hurt. Then, I whispered to him, "All I did was put in a good word for you! The "crazy girl" that knows your secret identity suggests you take advantage of her kindness." He looked at me incredulously, but he went over to talk to Zatana anyway. It wasn't long after that Roy took his spot and slung his arm around my waist. "Aw, young love is so precious," I mused with a giddy expression.
"It sounds like you're calling us old, Reine," he chuckled.
"Well, you act like an old man sometimes..."
He gave me a small glare that I countered with by sticking my tongue out at him. Roy then smirked that lovely smirk of his and whispered in my ear, "Keep acting cute like that in front of the guys and I'll have to lock you up."
"I might not mind that..." I smirked making him blush slightly.
"Ugh, gross!" Wally said from behind us, "I did not need to hear that." He pulled a face at us as I glared at him. Then, I kissed Roy passionately just to send Wally off, which it did.
December 30
As we watched Roy accept his membership on the large monitor inside the Hall of Justice, I couldn't help but bounce in my spot with happiness. No one blamed me. My love had finally made his dream come true.
"I still think we should be celebrating out there with them," Rocket said. She was slightly irked that she didn't get a chance to say anything to her mentor, Icon.
"You'll get used to being in the shadow," I said, "that's how it usually is."
"Reine, would you stop bouncing?" Artemis sighed, "You look like a three year old that has to pee."
i spun on my heel and smiled at her, "But Mommy, I need to go so bad!" Wally snorted as I hugged the blonde much to her disapproval.
"Get off, Reine!"
"Ilove you Mum!"
Robin burst out in laughter and fell off his chair as Rocket looked to Aqualad. Megan and Conner couldn't help but laugh lightly at my antics. Yes, this was our lovely team. Of course, I brought most of the chaos.
"Is she always like this?" Rocket asked.
"Yes, but you will find out that it makes things lively," Kaldur replied.
A small beep came from Robin's glove computer ceasing the laughter. He accessed the alarm and frowned, "We found Cheshire." I sighed, this was bad timing for a mission. The Boy Wonder had hacked the computers to send the Team the alarm first before the Justice League.
"All right," I said seriously, "The faster we get this done with the faster we can get back to celebrating." Everyone nodded and headed out.
What we didn't expect to find out when we got back was to discover Roy was the mole.
I slumped into a chair at the Cave, "Seriously?"
To be honest... I thought up the Artemis-mom scene was hilarious. So hilarious to the point I could have woken up everyone in my house.
Anyway, I have to ask a serious-ish question. If you look at the picture of my lovely story you see Reine. she has her hair long. In the sequel, if I chop it off, would anyone be upset?
My reasons are simply: Reine was haunted by her past (parents) and chopped it off in symbolism of being cleansed of her past.
So you all know the drill by now. Messages and reviews, the works. XD
Kurai: Reine, mumzy is so proud of you! *hugs Reine and rubs cheek against hers*
Reine: *creeped out* let go! I have a mother (not that she was any better)!
Kurai: But, I created you with my heart and soul! *looms over Reine with overbearing love*
