Finally, Here's Chapter 6. I'm sooo sorry it took so long. But the good news is, I've already started typing up the next chapter. And I'm sorry this was so short too. Really.I don't own Teen Titans.
This chapter dedicated to Kikyou-Sama.
+"So. You're Kory."
"I believe that was stated already."
The two females stared at each other across the table. AquaLad had disappeared into what Blackfire assumed to be a kitchen (having not explored the entire home/cavern yet) to make them something to eat. Blackfire and BumbleBee had been left alone. Neither of them were one for small talk, but BumbleBee was trying to make an attempt, for AquaLad's sake.
BumbleBee cleared her throat. "So, uh, Kory...Where are you from?"
"A country in the South West. It's not all that well known."
"I see. I'm from New York."
"Interesting."
More silence.
"I like your earrings."
A surprised looked passed over Blackfire's face as she tugged at one of the hoops she forgot were now in her ears. "Thanks. I just got them yesterday."
BumbleBee nodded. "Your ears will hurt for a while, and you have to be careful or the holes my close up. But I'd say it's worth it. I regret never getting mine done."
"Why not?"
BumbleBee laughed. "I have a fear of needles. If I didn't get them when I was a baby, I'm not going to get them now."
Blackfire gave her an amused sort of look. "So your name is BumbleBee, yet you don't like needles? That's kind of—"
"Redundant?" BumbleBee shrugged. "I guess so. I don't know how I got this way."
AquaLad re-entered the room carrying a tray with a stack of sandwiches on it and set it on the table. He sat down on a chair at the side and reached for a sandwich, looking nervously between the two." So… how are you two getting along?" He said before taking a bite.
"Good enough." they both responded, then looked at each other. A smile tugged at Blackfire's lips, but she said no more and took a sandwich for herself. AquaLad and Blackfire quickly finished up their food and reached for another sandwich, but BumbleBee stayed motionless in her seat, tapping her fingers softly on the table.
"You're not hungry, BumbleBee?" AquaLad said with his mouth full.
BumbleBee shook her head. "Nah. I've been watching what I eat lately. Speedy can get fat off of seafood, but Steel City can't exactly defend itself, especially with you being MIA."
AquaLad nodded and said nothing else about the subject, but BumbleBee decided to continue the conversation, directing it at Blackfire. "Kory," she said, turning to face her. "Do you fight?"
"Fight?" Blackfire said, swallowing the last bite of her second sandwich. "How do you mean?"
"You know. Like hand-to-hand combat and stuff."
Blackfire shrugged. "I know some fighting styles."
BumbleBee's eyes twinkled. "Great!" Do you want to spar?"
Blackfire looked up as BumbleBee stood up. "Now?"
"No time like the present. But it's alright if you don't want to." The last part was said a bit teasingly.
Blackfire stood up as well. Was BumbleBee challenging her? "Fine."
"Good. Let's go outside."
"Kory, are you really sure you should be fighting?" AquaLad said. You're still injured, and—"
"I'll be fine." Blackfire waved him off. "Come on, BumbleBee."
BumbleBee followed her out. "You better not come out, AquaLad. It might get messy."
+They stood on the beach a little ways away from the cavern, facing each other. Apparently AquaLad had taken BumbleBee's advice, and stayed. The sky had gotten darker since that afternoon, and the wind was picking up.
"Well? Are we gonna start?" Blackfire said, her voice rising so she could be heard over the wind.
"I'm ready when you are." BumbleBee called back.
Blackfire launched herself at BumbleBee, a punch aimed toward the other girl's head. BumbleBee dodged it and countered with a kick to Blackfire's knees. She cart wheeled to avoid it, and landed to receive and punch in the gut.
Blackfire growled and ducked to avoid another punch, swiping at Bumblebee's ankles with her leg. BumbleBee tripped, but caught herself before she hit the ground and jumped back up, throwing another punch, this time to Blackfire's jaw.
Blackfire stumbled back as BumbleBee smirked. "Is that all you got?"
"No!" Blackfire charged foreword again, and managed to hit BumbleBee in the stomach. She tried another punch, but BumbleBee caught it and twisted her arm around. Blackfire flipped over her and delivered a roundhouse kick to her back.
BumbleBee, caught off guard, fell to the ground.
"Oh damn." Blackfire mumbled, looking at BumbleBee's fallen form. She kneeled down next to her and turned the girl over. "BumbleBee, are you okay?"
With an unexpected quickness, BumbleBee reached down for the B-shaped lasers she wore at her hips and blasted Blackfire with them. Blackfire flew a couple paces backwards and landed on the sand near the edge of the water. BumbleBee stood up and hovered into the air.
"That's cheating!" Blackfire said, standing up while holding her stomach. "I don't have any powers."
"Or do you?" BumbleBee said, raising an eyebrow as she twirled one off the lasers in the air with her finger. "I have a feeling you've been holding out on me."
+Chocohip2000- Review? Isn't that your job? xD
HamHamDude
I swear, it took me longer to reply to your review than to type the chapter up. Heh.
chapter 1
Human Beach, Terran Beach Potato/Patoto or whatever it. I'll remember it in future fics, though.
Scene dividers? 0.o I dunno, I guess I've always used them.
I remember a hint of a mess up Blackfire did in the sister's episode. I think it was when she was talking to Robin about his cape. At any rate, I'll cut down on the Starfire speak.
Are you sure? It looks pink to me in all of the screen caps I've seen.

Sticky-side up post-it on her chair. Hehhehheh.
Eh. Um.. You're welcome?
Maybe I'll change it. I haven' decided yet.
Like hell Blackfire would give her real name, in Tamaran or not. So yes, she cheated again and gave Starfire's.
I have to agree with you on that.

Shutup, you. xP
AquaLad protects Steel City with BumbleBee and them. I'm sure they get some sort of salary. And Tamarans are stronger than humans, I guess, but that's why the pain in her ears didn't last all that long.
Bwaha! Nowhere did I say she crashed on an island in the middle of the ocean. On the contrary, it was on a deserted beach. Bwaha.

Thanks.
Heh.
Ehhh... nooo... I haven't read it... -dodges randomly thrown things- But I will, I promise!
They probably have gone into space at least once. If not Wayne Enterprises, then something Batman found when he was out with the JL.
Cool. I didn't know that. Haven't been watching my Saturday morning cartoons lately.
5 Last chapter!
Gotcha. I'll remember that.
Yup.
Ah. And what would you do if it wasn't BumbleBee? xD
