I appeared back at Titan Tower. I placed my hand on the scanner and I
entered. It was evening (Time flies when you're teleporting!) and I found
all the Teen Titans curled up on the sofa. All 7 of them.
Raven's head was in Cyborg's lap and same with Robin and Starfire. Condor and Crow had both zonked out on either end of the sofa and Beastboy was curled up in the middle. He had a face of worry as he slept. I shook my head and smiled as I used my powers to dim the lights and pull 6 blankets from a nearby cupboard. I gently tucked them over each Titan. Then I realised Beastboy had no blanket. I pulled my cloak off and I tucked it around him by hand.
I was by now extremely tired and I went straight to my room. It hadn't changed since I left it. I climbed into bed, still in my leotard and I pulled the covers over me.
"I'm home," I whispered as I closed my eyes and I went to sleep.
I woke to the sound of people yawning outside my open door.
"She come back yet?" Cyborg asked.
"No," Robin replied.
"Who got the blankets out?" Condor asked.
"You got me," Raven replied.
"I'll make breakfast," Starfire said, sadly.
"I'll make sure there's no pudding on the menu," Crow said. I sighed. I hadn't tried one of Starfire's puddings and from the sound of Crow's voice, I didn't want to.
"Are our blankets made from blue silk?" Beastboy asked.
"Our blankets made from red fleece. Why?" Robin asked.
"Well this blanket isn't one of ours then. Wait...," Beastboy replied, "OH MY GOD!!!!! THIS IS KESTREL'S CLOAK!!!"
"WHAT???" Everyone yelled back. I got out of bed and I went to the door. I stepped out and I went into the living room. Everyone had their backs to me.
"Hey, you guys wouldn't mind turning down the volume, would you?" I asked, "Some people are trying to sleep." They turned and gazed at me in shock.
"Thank you," I said, "I'm going back to bed." And I did as well.
I opened my eyes again. I looked at my clock. 12:30 pm. Lunchtime. I sat up and found my cloak, neatly folded at the foot of my bed. I pulled it on and I lifted the hood and placed it firmly over my face.
I walked slowly from my room. Crow was just coming out of his room.
"Hey," I said and he jumped. He turned and looked at me and he smiled.
"You're awake," he said. I smiled.
"I was the last time I looked," I replied. I hugged him. I followed him out into the living room. Everyone was there, waiting. They smiled as we came in.
"Oh Kestrel!" Starfire yelled, running over to give me a hug, "You have returned."
"Yes," I replied, "But I can't breathe." She let go of me.
"We must celebrate with a pudding," Starfire declared.
"That's not a good idea," I said quickly, registering the terrified faces of my friends and family, "I'm allergic. But maybe everyone else would like some." I grinned. Everyone threw me a look and Condor, Crow and Raven each telepathically sent me a message.
Raven: You're evil.
Condor: You're doing this to be spiteful.
Crow: How could you do this to us?
I knew what I had done was mean so I telekinetically hid all the food in the house, without anyone noticing. Starfire ran into the kitchen and everyone moved towards me, probably to kill me but they got interrupted.
"OH NO!" Starfire yelled from the kitchen, "WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO MAKE A PUDDING WITH!" Everyone looked at me, curiously.
"You didn't think I was that evil did you?" I whispered. Realisation appeared on everyone's faces. Starfire came out of the kitchen, looking sad.
"I'm sorry, Kestrel," she said. I smiled.
"It's okay," I said, "Why don't I, you and Rae go to the mall?" Rae nodded and Starfire smiled.
"Yes," Starfire said, "You need a dress for the Justice League's party tonight at Wayne Manor."
Oh yeah. The big party. We'd been invited during the week and Rae and Star had gone straight out for dresses. Well, more Star dragged Rae out to buy a dress. They showed me what they'd got. Rae seemed to adore her dress. It was black and was straight down to her hip where it fanned out beautifully. She'd got black high heeled sandals too. Star was going to wear a beautiful pink dress and white gloves. Her shoes were similar to Rae's but pink not black.
We said goodbye to the guys and we left for the mall.
