Hey, titaneers. Sorry for the monthly updates. I've been super busy, but I have system that I am going to start doing so I can get in more chapters.
Oh if my grammar sucks in this chapter… It's all King Kidd's fault because he was distracting me while I wrote this chapter.
Okay, it's been long enough so on with your chapter...
By Day One Way, By Night Another.
Chapter 25.
Gar twisted on his air mattress as all of the cover was pulled away from him by one of his closest friends. "Dude." He poked Wally's freckles that scattered his cheeks, "You're hogging all the blankets." He tried again by pushing him, but failed to get any motion from his friend in return. Gar laughed at how knocked out Wally was before walking over him and grabbing Wally's yellow and red hoodie. He pulled it over his head as he walked out the tent, into the brisk morning air.
"What are you doing up this early?" Gar cocked his head as he walked towards Adrienne, who was sitting crisscrossed on the dewy grass.
"I'm enjoying the peace and quiet, while looking at my inner thoughts." Adrienne sighed.
"Isn't that called mediation?" Gar asked as he sat next to her and looked up at the orange sky. "So what do they say?"
"Who?" Adrienne said, confused.
"Your most deep and inner thoughts," Gar chuckled, "What are they saying?"
"To stay away from you." Adrienne said softly before looking at Gar in the eye.
"Your thoughts really have it out for me, don't they?" Gar smirked.
"You made them hate you when you decided to mess around with them." Adrienne sighed.
"But if everything turns out all handy-dandy, they'll love me right?" Gar nudged her.
"Hardly." Adrienne monotoned.
"So, are you going to talk to him today?" Gar curiously asked, not knowing if he crossed a line.
"I have too." Adrienne stared off, "I don't like him keeping secrets from me, and I bet he feels the same way about me.""Hey," Gar said softly before looking into Adrienne's eyes, "I really want you to know that I'm sorry. I really mean it. Thinking that I was the reason I ruined your perfect relationship with Lance, makes me feel terrible."
"Gar, nothing's perfect." Adrienne plainly said before messing with a piece of grass. "Jenifer says I should stay away from you. You know, because of the whole thing."
"You told her?" He asked before shaking his head, "Beside the point. What do you think?"
"I think you're a really good friend," Adrienne half-smiled, "Something just happened that shouldn't have."
"Oh, good. You're awake!" Someone called from a few feet behind the two, "You can start helping me gather some of the stuff before the trucks get here to pick it on up."
"Man," Gar let himself fall into the wet grass, "Too bad, I'm still sleeping."
"Very funny." Dick said before whacking him with a floaty. "Faster we get this done, faster we can leave and head for school."
"You're just convincing me to keep doing nothing." Gar let a toothy grin cross his face.
"The others aren't awake?" Adrienne asked before she stood up to start helping Dick.
"Nah," Dick shook his head while stuff all the water guns into one of the many plastic boxes, "I have a slight feeling that if I wake them up now, all I am going to get is a crowd of grumpy teenagers."
"So if I act grumpy, I can get out of work?" Gar said without lifting his head from the grass.
"You're currently getting out of work." Adrienne monotoned before turning towards Dick, "When will the trucks be here?"
"Uh, ten minutes?" Dick said as he closed another box and stacked them on top of one of another.
"So did your father actually let you borrow all this stuff?" Gar hopped up from the grassed and walked towards the two.
"In exchange of a favor," Dick said, "And he's not my father."
If he thinks he's got Daddy issues… Adrienne thought before rejoining the conversation.
"What kind of favor? Cleaning out the garage? Sweeping the attic?" Gar tagged his chin as he sat on top of the boxes they were stacking, "Maybe it's babysitting your nasty siblings? Or maybe cleaning up after the dogs."
"His garage is spotless, except for all the fancy cars I get to drive." Wally yawned before walking towards the group, "Has no dogs, unless you count his siblings."
"Are you done writing my biography?" Dick laughed as he watched his friend stumble from tiredness.
"Look who came early." Adrienne smiled as big trucks started to pull up on the edge of the road.
"Gross." Gar said as attractive men around their twenties started to step out of the trucks.
"Well, I have to wake up Kori and Karen now," Adrienne turned around, "They said I HAD to wake up them up if any hot guys come."
"Why didn't you wake them up five minutes ago when I walked over here?" Wally threw a flirtatious smile to her while she rolled her eyes and started to walk towards her tent.
"Really?" Dick glared at Wally, "Do you have to hit on every female within a mile radius?"
"Yes." Wally winked at him, "But don't get jealous, babe. You're always going to be my favorite."
"Should I leave?" Gar chuckled, "Because I feel like I'm third wheeling on… whatever this is."
"You can leave to wake the rest of the guys up so we can prove to the girls we are the manliest humans on this planet." Wally flexed his biceps, "Apparently these babies aren't enough proof."
"Wait," Dick smiled evilly, "We haven't put the water guns in their boxes yet…"
"I see…" Wally nodded and he said as he ran to the picnic table and grabbed all the water guns.
"Good boy." Dick patted Wally head while he grabbed a couple of guns.
"It would be rude of us to return theses with water in them." Gar grabbed two guns, "I guess we have to empty them out."
"Dude, you couldn't have wasted all of our water balloons." Wally sighed before all of them silently crept towards the tent. "Whatever happens, just know that I care for you two so dearly."
"Wally, if you don't go through that door, something is definitely going to happen to you." Dick said before pushed him through the plastic.
"FOR NARINA!" Gar screamed as he sprayed water in difference directions.
"Gar!" multiple voices screams.
"You were supposed to wet them, not us." Wally wiped water off before notice Roy getting up. "No you don't." Wally started to empty his gun on the ginger.
"Is it raining?" Garth asked as he shielded himself under the covers.
"Yes, Garth." Roy said as he tried to dry his hair with his blanket, but was unsuccessful since Wally was still spraying him, "It's raining in the damn tent, cause that 100 percent logical."
"Do you really want to talk about logics with him? Or would you rather be getting these nit-wits back for disturbing my sleep." Victor smirked as he got up from his air mattress.
"This was all Dick's idea." Gar yelped as he ran for the door.
"Traitor!" Dick yelled after him.
"Boss, retreat!" Wally said before throwing his best friend over his shoulder and running out the door.
"It's too early watch these boys act like idiots." Jenifer rubbed her eyes as she and the rest of the girls stood outside their tents.
"Protect me!" Gar screamed as he quickly hid behind Adrienne.
"Um, may I ask why you are dripping wet?" Kori said as she fixed her tiger onesie.
"These punks decided to spray us really sleeping." Roy said angrily.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of their air mattress." Karen smirked.
"Dick stole all the covers!" Roy yelled.
"Did not!" Dick argued while still over Wally's shoulders. "I had none of the covers."
"While ya'll talk about your bedroom situation, I'm going to talk to the loading crew." Donna said before fixing her hair and walking towards the mid-aged loading crew with the rest of the girls in tow.
"I'll start cooking us a quick breakfast that way we can leave as soon as they're done packing everything." Victor said as he dashed for the picnic table, "And before they pack the stove."
"Wait, girls." Garth called as he chased after them, "You can't flirt with them, you'll distract them."
"Your point is?" Karen crossed her arms as she stopped.
"We need to them to get this done so we can leave." Gar said as he appeared at Garth's side with the other boys.
"I never thought I would hear that from Gar." Dick smirked, "he actually wants to get to school. But he does have a point. As soon as the loaders have all of Bruce's stuff packed, we're leaving."
"And do you really want to go to school in that?" Roy pointed as the girls' pajamas, especially Kori's onesie.
"We DO have to pack…" Toni said unsurely as she looked back at the tent.
"But they're so muscular…" Karen looked at the loaders before biting her lip in thought, "Fine, we'll start packing and get dressed." Karen pouted.
"If we pack fast enough, we could probably still talk to them." Donna said, trying to cheer Karen up as they walked towards their tent.
"Using girl's only weaken against them." Dick smirked, "Smart. I'll give you points."
"Girls love looking good." Roy rose his eyebrows as the guys walked back to their tent. "There was no way they were going to go to school in their pajamas."
"If it wasn't against dress code, I'd wear pajamas every day." Gar ran to be the first one to enter the tent.
"That's actually why you're single." Victor chuckled.
"Dude, I'm single because there's too many people to choose from." Gar grin before carelessly stuffing everything in his bag.
"Shit. That essay that we were supposed to do…" Garth slapped his forehead before falling into his air mattress.
"Boy, school is going to be a mess for you." Wally laughed.
"Isn't it going to be for everyone?" Dick chuckled as all the boys enjoyed their last moments of camping.

"Jenifer!" Mrs. Fult slammed her hand on Jenifer's desk, waking her from her sleep.
"I'm sorry." Jenifer rubbed her eyes, "I've had a long weekend."
"I would've expected my top student to be dozing off in my class." Mrs. Fult shook her head, "I'm disappointed in you."
"Yes ma'am." Jenifer sighed before running her hand through her amber hair. I really should have slept instead of wasting my time thinking if Kid Flash was right. Jenifer thought while copying the notes from the board. Even though Wally had walked her to her tent and kissed her goodnight, she was restless. She stay up replaying every possible situation that could happen if Kid Flash was right. If she was better than robbing banks. That she should join him. But all the results were scary, losing the only people that only cared about her, losing everything she's worked so hard for, losing all the trust she's been earning from Madam Rouge. If she switched, heroes would think she was up to no good while villains would think she was going soft.
"Hey," A voice said as it tapped her shoulder, dispersing all of her thoughts.
"Huh?" She whispered as she turned around and realized it was just Wally.
"You okay?" Wally flashed a smile, trying to cheer her up.
"Just tired." Jenifer said as the bell rang, "Look at that, one period down, six more to go."
"Don't forget lunch." Wally added as he picked up his books, "Here's my notes if you need them."
"I can get by on my own." Jenifer smirked as she stood up and started walking with Wally out in the hallway.
"Speaking of lunch, want to join the group at our lunch table?" He suggest as he nudged her shoulder.
"I don't think all those snobby preppy blondes would approve." Jenifer said before Wally wrapped his hands around her.
"But I approve," Wally flashed a flirtatious smile while Jenifer rolled her eyes.
"Get to class." Jenifer push him off of her.
"No kisses?" Wally rose his eyebrows.
"You can kiss my fist if you really want to." Jenifer monotoned.
"Pass. See you at lunch, babe." Wally said before walking the other way.
"I swear, that boy…" Jenifer rolled her eyes before walking towards her class, a little light headed.
"Jenifer!" Simon said as he ran up to her, "Any chance you want to ditch this place?"
"Depends." Jenifer yawned, "For what reason."
"An important one that I can't say with all of these civilians around." Simon said before pull her towards the nearest exit.
"Man, Karen is going to decapitate me for missing another practice." Jenifer sighed.
"Who the hell is Karen? And what were you doing with Wally West?" Simon asked suspiciously before running towards the parking lot.
"Karen is cheer captain. Remember, I did that stupid decision and decided to cheer because it'd make me look more of a civilian." Jenifer pointed to where Simon's mustang was parked, "And Wally's a friend. What's the issue?"
"The hive, they're all in prison. We need to make a plan to help them escape." Simon explained as they both jumped in the car, "I'm hoping about 5ish. You know, when traffic is busy, no one will-"
"Right now, we have to go right now." Jenifer said in panic. "Kyd Wykkyd… he has something important to do and if we don't get him back before lunch, he'll lose something. It's important to both of us."
"Then let's go break out our friends." Simon said before both of them slipped off their hologram rings. For the first time since school started, See-more actually saw the true Jinx shine through. This is what she is destined to do.

"I need all the details," Ivy flipped her hair as leaned into her desk.
"Oh, Ivy. It was most glorious! We did so many of the activities you told me about. We did the campfire and fishing and swimming. We even played truth or dare and capture the flag."
"We won by the way." Gar said as he sat across from Kori.
"You were there too?" Ivy pointed her nicely coated nails.
"Yeah," Gar smiled, "And a bunch of other people. We stayed in these huge tents, it doesn't get more campier than that."
"Campier?" Ivy giggled. "That's not even a word."
"I'm making it a word." Gar smiled.
"So anything new happen during this AMAZING camping trip?" Ivy nudged Kori, "Any campfire romance brewing?"
"Uh," Kori bite her lip as she tried to avoid the question, "My friend Donna and Roy are finally the official."
"Donna?" Ivy asked.
"Total babe. If you want to meet her, she'll be at the game." Gar said before the teacher started to silence the class.
"Okay, I hope you kids read ya'll book, bec-" the teacher was interrupted by a sudden ringtone filling the air. "Turn off the phones, NOW!"
"Sorry." Kori and Gar said as the same time.
"I must go." Kori said to the teacher because running towards the door, "I will have an excused signed tomorrow."
"That was the nurse that called," Gar lied before grabbing his stuff and walking towards the door. "I have unfinished medical papers to fill out. I totally spaced this morning. I hope you don't mind if I go now."
"Proceed." The teacher snapped, "But you are responsible for your own work."
"Yeah, yeah." Gar mocked after the door closed behind him, "Now all I have to do is get rid of this stupid backpack." Gar thought aloud before hastily running down the hall and halted to a stop when he came to him locker. He felt his body heat rise as he fiddled in the combination and started to attempt to stuff his huge backpack in his tiny locker.
"Need help?" Said a voice from behind him.
"Nah, I think I got it." Gar said before turning around to see who he was talking to. He immediately regretted as he felt his heart dropped to his toes as he stared at the girl with shock, "How?"
"What do you mean how?" The girl chuckled back, "You just try to actually fit your stuff in your locker instead of trying to cram everything in there. Like this." She started to carefully put his backpack into his locker as Gar stood back, speechless.
"But…" It was the only thing he could mutter before his phone went off again.
"Are you going to answer that?" The girl pointed to his pocket where his phone was buzzing.
Gar quickly shook his head, trying to get out what felt like a daydream and sprinted down the hall, leaving the girl alone and confused.
He quickly went through a side exit and looked around to make sure there were no cameras or any nearby civilians before taking off his holographic ring and shapeshifted into an eagle and flying off into the direction of Jump City Prison.
How could she be here? Gar asked himself as his mind filled with question about the girl he just saw, Last time I saw her was at Murakami High School! This can't be possible, it's almost like the universe is teasing me by giving me her but no giving me the real deal. The real, Terra. The one I fell for.
His thought quickly scattered as the sound of the prison's alarm came into range. He flew out of the clouds and immediately saw a few figures moving towards the front entrance.
"Friend Beast Boy!" Starfire squealed as he shapeshifted back to his normal form and he got an unexpected bone-crushing hug from her, "It has been a while since we saw each other."
"Where's Robin?" Raven said as she appeared out of air.
"Coming." Cyborg said as he pushed buttons on his metallic arm, "But we don't have the time to wait on him-"
Cyborg was quickly cut off by the sound of a roaring engine and they all turned to see Robin arriving on his R-Cycle. "Titans, we have a prison break in by the Hive Five. I'm assuming its See-More and Jinx for the fact they were the only two member not to get arrested yesterday. The faster we catch them, the less time they have to have to help any other villains escape." Robin explained as they ran through the front entrance and passed through the halls, getting steps closer to the jail cells.
"What happened to the security?" Cyborg asked as his arms quickly turned into a sonic cannon.
"Probably held hostage." Raven monotoned, "For leverage."
"Titans," Robin yelled the second they entered the giant concrete jail sector where prisoners were already running wild. "Go!"
"How do we know where the Hive Five is?" Cyborg asked as he blasted five criminals into a wall.
"We cannot harm these people." Starfire reminded as she flew in the air, "I'll search for the Hive Five."
"Try to put them back in their cells." Robin said as he threw some tiny smoke bombs on the ground which quickly covered the air with smoke as Robin hastily grabbed the confused prisoners and started stuffing them into a cell.
"One problem…" Beast Boy said before watching Raven form black inky bubbles around prisoners, "There's like a hundred escapees."
"Come here sweetcakes." A muscular prisoner commented as Starfire flew by, "I got a package of you."
"So do I." Starfire furious said through her teeth as her eyes shined bright green. She twisted her body sharply to get a fierce kick into the prisoners gut, knocking him onto the ground.
"Robin." Cyborg yelled as he blasted prisoners away from Raven as a giant green gorilla went around picking up the unconscious criminals and harshly throwing them into different cells. "This is fairly easy. Easier than I thought."
"None of these criminals have powers." Raven commented as she adjusted her hood, hiding her face. "This was a distraction."
"The Hive Five knew we would be occupied by settling this mess." Starfire said as she melted the locks of the cells, making it impossible for them to get out.
"They're in the private sector!" Robin said as Starfire quickly grabbed his arm as flew at her top speed through the many hallways as Beast Boy is cheetah form followed right behind them. A large boom filled the prison while the walls shook as a result. "That's not good." Robin said as they arrived at the entrance of the private sector where the city usually kept criminals with 'special abilities' and only saw a cloud of dust cover the entire sector.
"On a scale of one to ten, how bad do you think this is?" Beast Boy said as he was in human form again and tried to look through the dust.
"Shit." The word escaped Robin's lips as the dust settled, and revealing that every criminal in that sector was free. He immediately started throwing explosive disks at almost every target he saw while Starfire threw her powerful starbolts through the crowd.
"We can't let any of them escape!" Cyborg yelled as he blasted Overload, who was trying to escape by the light fixtures.
"Look who arrived." Jinx spat as she placed her hand on her hip.
"Boy Blunder and his usual squad." Gizmo said as Robin shot a death glance under his mask. "I thought you fired them."
"You will be the fired!" Starfire said as she quickly flew towards the tween and started shooting starbolts at him.
"Ahh!" Gizmo screamed before flying off on his jet-pack.
"You titans, have bigger problems to worry about." Mammoth grumbled as he ran towards Beast Boy who quickly shapeshifted into a gorilla, "Like me."
"Cy, try to get as many criminals as you can into the cells." Robin yelled as he quickly backflipped to avoid blasts from Dr. Light.
"There's like fifteen of the grossest monsters roaming around." Cy yelled, "How is that even possible?"
"Are you forgetting we've done the impossible before?" Robin said as he threw a few explosive disks towards Dr. Light, but were torn apart as they were blasted with powerful light beams.
"Your little toys won't work for me, Robin." Dr. Light spat before blasting Robin into the nearby wall.
"Are we going to have to do this again?" Raven looked Dr. Light in the eye and watch his face turn pale.
"No, no, no." Dr. Light shaked as he tried to step backwards, "Please don't take me back to that dark place."
"Azarath Metrion...ZINTHOS!" Raven chanted as her eyes turned a deep black and the concrete around Dr. Light started to turn into a cage. Raven smiled before getting knocked down by a powerful hex.
"Not all of us are that easy." Jinx evilly smiled as she moved towards the cloaked girl.
"Oh really?" Raven said as her inky magic wrapped around loose concrete pieces and were shot towards Jinx, "Considering that you're part of the Hive makes you easy."
"Watch out!" Starfire called before being thrown into a wall feet from the two in battle. "I will get your butt." Starfire said as she pushed her hair out of her face and flew at her top speed towards the giant, monster Cinderblock and kicked him right in his concrete kneecap.
"Star! A little help." Beast Boy yelled before morphing into a T-Rex and starters to eat the heads of abnormal sized gingerbread man created by Mother Mae-Eye.
"They are your friends, not food. Children!" Mother Mae-Eye shrieked as she was thrown in a cell by power starbolt.
"Damn it." Cyborg breathed as he watched overload disappear somewhere in the electrical system.
"Looking for me?" Control Freak asked with a smirk as we wiggled his fingers.
"Dude, are you serious asking me into a challenge?" Cyborg laughed, "I could knock you out in one punch." Without anyone moving a muscle, Control Freak was knocked into the ground unconscious, leaving Cyborg in a confused state.
"He was getting annoying." Robin smirked as a big rumble traveled through the building. They both looked and saw a giant hole was blown through one of the concrete walls as their jaws dropped to the floor.
"No..." Raven groaned as her eyes turned dark black and a inky wall went and covered the enormous hole in wall.
"What!" Billy screamed while he punched the dark-transparent wall.
"Let me handle this wannabe bitch." Jinx snapped as she walked towards the cloaked empath.
"I'd like to see you try." Raven groaned as Jinx started shooting hex after hex at the empath. A dark, magic force-field started to form around the empath, trying to protect her while she kept the wall up.
"Titans, they're trapped. Lock them up." Robin yelled.
"Easier said than done." Beast Boy snarled as he turned into a giant python and wrapped Mumbo into a tight hug and threw him into a cell.
"Kyd Wykkyd, why not make a teleporting thing and getting us out of here?" Mammoth asked as he scratched his head.
"Because he's too busy being a scum to do so." Gizmo said as he shot a rocket to chase Starfire.
"This is taking too long." See-More complained, "This was supposed to be in and out."
"Stop hiding in your little bubble, you scared little bird." Jinx yelled as her hexes pounded off the magic. Raven rolled her eyes at the weak hexes before her eyes landed on Kyd Wykkyd. She felt heat travel through her body while sparks flew from her forcefield and wall. Suddenly, she was knocked out of her levitation state as she fell to the ground.
"Uh oh." Raven murmured as she watched her magic incased wall, that was the only way keeping the criminals from escaping, exploded into black sparks.
"Wow," And evil grin wrapped onto Jinx's face, "Looks like you're having bad luck controlling your powers. It's just not your lucky day." Jinx laughed before throwing a power hex into Raven's abdomen.
"Jinx, stop messing around and let's go!" See-More said before he took off through the hole in the wall.
"Raven!" Beast Boy ran to her side and quickly checked her pulse.
"The criminals…" Starfire said before she threw some final starbolt at them but all was left was their shadows.
"We have to get Raven home," Robin said before looking at the hole that they escaped from, "We'll just have to worry about the criminals later."
"She's unconscious." Cyborg said as he picked her up and handed her to Starfire, "You're the only one who can get her to the tower fast enough. Beast Boy will go with you, but you have to hurry. We'll meet you as soon as we can."
Starfire just nodded before flying off at her top speed as Beast Boy morphed into a falcon and took off into the sky.
"How did we fail this mission?" Robin sighed before looking off in the direction of the tower.

"Is she okay?"
"She's just healing herself, Beast Boy."
"Her vitals seem normal."
"Oh, do we buy her the chocolates or a teddy bear or maybe a giant balloon?"
"Star, she's fine."
"I don't even think she likes chocolates, or teddy bears…"
"She likes waffles…"
"No, last time we tried to make waffles, the whole common room was filled with batter."
"I cleaned it up…"
It was all Raven could hear as she slowly woke up from what seemed like a terrible dream. "What is going on?" Raven murmured as she held her head, which was pounding from the previous battle. "I have the world's most awful headache."
"Raven!" Beast Boy said as he ran to the white bed she was laying on in the medical room, "You're okay."
"I told you." Cyborg said with a smile, "The girl knows how to take care of herself."
"Do you guys happen to have any aspirin?" Raven groaned while pulling her legs into her chest so she lay her head on her knees.
"Oh, I will get that!" Starfire insisted as she quickly to the cabinets and started to rummage through them.
"What happened out there, Rae?" Beast Boy rubbed his hands together nervously.
"I don't know." Raven sighed as she hide her face in her hood, "Did they get away?"
"We managed to catch Mother Mae-Eye, Doctor Light, and Control freak." Cyborg started to check to her scan.
"Which leaves Cinderblock, Overload, Mumbo and the whole Hive gang running around the city." Robin said emotionlessly
"But we haven't had any reports from them. I personally think they are hiding away and not trying to get caught again." Starfire said happily as she handed Raven a cup of cold water and a bottle of Tylenol.
"Just give them a day," Robin smirked, "I bet they'll be celebrating their freedom by robbing a bank or store."
"Ironic," Cyborg muffled. "Raven, I did a body scan on you while you were unconscious and turns about the hit from Jinx isn't the reason why you shut down, it was your brain. Your brain itself just turned everything off."
"I do not understand." Starfire ran her hand through her hair.
"I lost control." Raven said flatly and emotionless as she got off the white bed and headed towards her room.
"Raven, where are you going?" Beast Boy asked.
"School." Raven said before walking out of the room.
Robin just sighed harshfully before walking out into the hallway with Starfire following, "Robin, what is causing you this distress?" Starfire asked as they entered the empty common room.
"Starfire, we lost." Robin managed as he let his glove glide through his spikes of hair.
"Robin, it will be okay. We have lost plentiful of times but in the end we won. It is just a delay, but I promise you, we will catch these criminals." Starfire said as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
"No, Star. You don't get it!" Robin snapped, "We've defeated these criminals before. Hell, we've made these criminals almost beg for mercy before. It's this stupid law that makes us attend that stupid school."
"Robin…" Starfire said softly, trying to comfort the distressed teenager, but he refused her help.
"We are getting weak. We are getting distracted." Robin said angrily.
"We did the best that we could." Starfire started to fill the tension bubble up in her too.
"It's not good enough!" Robin yelled. "We are so distracted by school that we don't train or strategize, hell, I haven't seen my own team for three days straight!"
"We are trying our best to handle all these things that are thrown to us." Starfire angrily pointed her finger into Robin chest, "If you can't respect that we are busy trying to manage two lives in one body, then you need to…" She stumbled on her words as she felt hot tears roll down her cheeks, "I cannot imagine our own leader thinks we are weak." Starfire spun, not wanting to hear anything else he had to say, before storming out of the room.

"Should I?" Adrienne whispered to herself while standing by the glass door at the school's entrance. She was mentally debating if it was a smart idea of rushing out of the tower to talk to Lance. He probably won't even be here. But if I leave, I could lose the only chance to talk to him. She quickly held her head as she felt the pounding slowly come back, Great.
"Need some help opening the door?"
Adrienne heart fell to her feet as he immediately recognized the voice, "Lance…" The word unexpectingly escaped her lips as she quickly wrapped him into a hug. It was as if her body wanted one thing while her mind wanted another. Before she knew it, she had pulled him close to her and was incapacitated in a passionate kiss. "You're back." She whispered as they parted.
"Of course I'm came back," Lance tucked her hair behind her ear, "I just couldn't be away from you." Adrienne almost melted at his words.
Almost.
"Why aren't you at school?" Adrienne asked as he searched her eyes.
"Slept through my alarm," Lance said as he grabbed Adrienne's hand, "why don't we just ditch today and just get some coffee instead. I could use it."
"Yeah," Adrienne nodded while she started to walk away from the school. "Lance, I have to talk to you."
"About?" He lifted his eyebrow as if nothing was wrong.
"About us." Adrienne stopped walking and looked at the ground, "I know your secret, Lance." It was all she could manage in a whisper.
Immediately his face and he knew actually what she was talking about. "Adrienne, I never wanted you to get caught up in this."
"I'm your girlfriend, I thought I was supposed to know you better than anybody else." Adrienne's voice cracked as she felt heat travel through her body, "I don't even know who you are."
"Adrienne." He grabbed both her hands and pulled it up to his face, "What I was doing was in the past, I didn't have a purpose. I felt useless, and I had this power, this power that drove my family away from me, this power that only makes me feel evil. But with you, I actually matter now, I have something to look forward to. I didn't know what I was doing, but now I know that you're all I need because my feelings for you can overcome this power."
"I've been surrounded by evil my whole life," Adrienne breathed, "I know what it feels like to not matter. Let me help you change, change for the better. I know we can move past this." Adrienne rested her forehead on his, "we can overcome this. But only if you give it up..."
"Yes." Lance nodded before planting a kiss on her lips, "For you, anything."
"I have something to tell you." Adrienne said, stopping Lance from giving her another kiss. "I-it's hard t-to say."
"Anything, remember?" Lance rubbed her cheek.
Adrienne closed her eyes, trying to contain all of her emotions. Just spit it out, Raven. He needs to know the truth. "Garfield and I kissed." She barely whispered.
"What?" Lance face changed from sincere to confused, "When did this happen?"
"At camp," Adrienne swallowed, "We were away from everyone and it just happened."
"How did you let this happen?" A flash of anger grew on his face but was quickly replaced by kindness. "It doesn't matter. All that matters is that you're mine." Lance pulled her close and wiped a tear that had just fallen onto Adrienne's cheek. "Just do me a favor. Stay away from Garfield. I can lose you to him."
"I promise." Adrienne smiled before pulling him in for a kiss.

"Since we just review all the elements on the periodic table, there will be a test this Thursday on all element and their spelling. There's a few minutes left of class, so please study quietly with your lab partner." The teacher said as everyone groaned at the sound of the upcoming test.
"I rock at the elements." Gar said as he turned towards Adrienne, "I've been studying them since I was like five."
"You know that there has been newly discovered elements since then?" Adrienne asked, not daring to look in his blue eyes.
"Crap," Gar said as a smile started to appear on his face, "I guess you'll have to study with me."
"But I already know most of the elements." Adrienne monotoned.
"Yeah, but you really want to let you best friend to fail?" Gar said with a toothy grin.
"I'm pretty sure Jenifer takes advanced chemistry, there's no way she'll fail."
"Harsh." Gar joked. "What's up with you, through?"
"What do you mean?" Adrienne asked without making eye contact.
"Like that," Gar sighed, "You won't even look me in the eyes."
"Well, I'm not exactly supposed to be talk to you." Adrienne whispered so Gar could barely hear it.
"Says who?" Gar raised his eyebrow.
"My boyfriend." Adrienne said flatly that left a string in Gar's body.
As if perfect timing, the bell rang, cutting their conversation short. "Can we at least talk about this?" Gar said as he watched Adriel stuff her things into her bag.
"There's nothing to talk about." Adrienne said coldly before walking out the classroom.
