Jezrianna pointed out several character flaws in Adam, so I'm going to correct them some what.
I walked into the cafeteria, and the room cleared. I really couldn't blame them. I looked like a swamp monster, and smelled like a garbage truck. The only person who didn't leave, was Flash. He was playing chess with himself, and probably didn't even smell me. As I walked past, having, through an error in my own calculations, to go through to reach the showers, Flash saw me.
"What the hell happened to you? Garbage truck collision?" He asked with his usual wicked grin.
"I'd rather not talk about it." I replied, seriously not wanting to.
"Oh no, I'm not missing this. And you're too tired to get away. I can see that." He grinned, enjoying himself.
"I hate you." I answered, knowing for a fact he was right. "This is all Cadmus fault." I snorted. Flash laughed.
"So, that's what this is about. You not coming when you were called." He chuckled.
"Yes, that's what it's about." I sneered mockingly. "J'onn decided that if I wasn't going to apologise, I should make myself useful. He want's me to kill the rats in the trash annexes."
"So? That shouldn't be hard for you. Should it?" Flash asked, shaking his head.
"No, normally it wouldn't." I answered, knowing he was going to burst out in laughter shortly. "Except for two things. First of all, they're immune to my powers, which is admittedly a nice change of pace. Second, they aren't earth rats. They're a massive space variety. The little ones are the size of greyhounds. The big ones rival smaller tigers."
"Why is immune to your powers a nice change of pace?" Flash asked, a bit confused.
"Because every other alien I've ever met, is vulnerable to magic." I replied.
"Oh. What about Kara?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" I replied.
"What punishment did she get?" Flash clarified.
"Nothing. She apologized, and really, as scary as she is?" I chuckled. "She offered to beat up J'onn for me, or convince him that he shouldn't do it, but I told her not to bother. I do rather deserve it, and it gives me time to plan revenge on him." I grinned.
"Revenge? For what?" Flash asked.
"For doing this." I replied calmly.
"Didn't you start it?" He asked.
"Of course. Life is no fun without a little animosity, and besides, I've got nothing to do for hours on end while I'm hunting these things. I've got lots of time to plan." I answered with a slight smile. I've never taken punishment to well, even when I deserved it. I did now, but I was going to make J'onn's life hell. I've been called arrogant, and immature. I'll freely admit the latter.
"I think then, that I'll forget we ever had this conversation. I don't want J'onn mad at me as well." Flash said, and left. I headed for the showers. All I got was cold water. The martian was going to wish I'd killed him...
