Chapter 7
I'm so sorry I haven't updated lately. I haven't had the time. I'll try to finish this story quickly though. I'm also sorry about the mushy stuff last chapter. I'm so glad I don't have to write it anymore.

hhgbh: Omg, you just don't stop reviewing do you? I know. I hate the mushy stuff too.
I did not know that about Speedy but now I do. Thanks for telling me. Now I can get more into his character.

shadowstar2s: Where do you think its going? 00

Dusk66: Yay! Thanks!

Falcon sat nervously thinking about the upcoming fight.

She was going to be fighting against two of her friend which both have

superpowers. She was definitely going to loose.

She scolded herself for thinking so negatively.

"You know what would make me feel better,"She thought,"To go wish
Starfire and Spidergirl good luck."

"I'll be right back," She said to Speedy who nodded and watched her leave.

Starfire and Robin were talking happily to each other. When Falcon approached Robin waved and patted the seat beside him. Falcon sat down and smiled at Starfire.

"Hey Starfire,"She said.

"Hello Falcon,"Starfire replied,"What brings you over to talk to us?"

"Oh. Well, this is sort of embarrassing.I'm a bit nervous about the next fight and so I just want to wish you good luck,"Falcon said smiling.

"I wish you good luck as well,"Starfire said, grabbing Falcon and hugging her.

"Er- Thanks –Starfire,"Falcon gasped.

"It is my pleasure,"Starfire called cheerily finally letting Falcon go.

"See you,"Falcon said as she started off to wish Spidergirl good luck.

She jumped over the rows of chairs and landed in her original seat. Falcon poked Spidergirl's shoulder and Spidergirl turned around.

"Hey, good luck later,"Falcon said, patting Spidergirl's head.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, we're fighting each other next,"Spidergirl said, a strange look on her face,"But I don't want to fight you."

"I know. I don't want to fight my friends either but hey, this is only for fun. Whoever wins – well congrats to them. Whoever looses – better luck next time, right?", Falcon said, trying to ease Spidergirl from her nervousness and herself as well.

"You're one great public speaker,"Speedy said.

Falcon smiled,"thanks, but I don't think that'll do much good in the next round."

"No, it won't but you don't need any help. You'll do fine,"Speedy reassured.

"I hope so."

Suddenly Mr. Hon appeared beside them.

"Hi Falcon, can I talk to you for one moment,"he asked.

Falcon looked at Speedy,confused,"uh – sure."

She got up and followed him a few feet away.

"Listen, I know you say you're not injured –,"Mr. Hon said in a low tone.

"I'm not,"She interrupted.

"Don't interrupt me. Anyways, I know you say you're not but just incase -," he inhaled deeply,"I do not think you should compete in the next round."

Speedy, Spidergirl, Beastboy, Aqualad and Wondergirl watched Mr. Hon and Falcon from their seats.

"What do you thinks going on,"Speedy asked.

"Looks like they're just talking to me,"Aqualad suggested.

"No, somethings wrong. Falcon is mad,"Spidergirl informed.

"How can you tell,"asked Beastboy.

"Her fists – shes clenching them and -,"Spidergirl started.

"Her jaw. Shes clenching that too,"Wondergirl finished.

Suddenly erupting from the quiet conversations Falcon yelled ,"WHAT!"

"Oh, yup, you were right. Shes angry,"Beastboy said, nodding.

Back to Mr.Hon, Falcon was fuming.

"I've been hurt worse than this and could still fight! I can still go on in a small game between a couple friends,"Falcon yelled.

"I know. I know how you feel but think how I feel right now. I was hoping no one would get hurt in this but you did. I don't want anyone else getting hurt – or you making your injury worse. Please, I'm asking you not to compete but if you wish to you can,"sighed Mr. Hon.

"I promise you I won't let anyone else get hurt but I'm still going to compete. Its not that bad of an injury anyways,"Falcon said, determined.

She turned on her heel and walked back to her friends.

"You okay," Speedy asked, concerned.

"Yeah," Falcon said, with a sigh,"He doesn't want me to compete because I'm "injured"."

She rolled her eyes.
"Are you going to,"asked Wondergirl.

"Of course I am! I'm not hurt at all,"Falcon argued.

Everyone looked down at the white bandage wrapped around her arm. It had writing on it that read : "Highland Town Hospital" on it. Falcon glared at them and they all sheepishly looked away whistling and rubbing the back of their necks.

"I'm not hurt,"hissed Falcon through clenced teeth.

"What just happened there,"Robin asked, joining the group along with Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and Bumblebee.

No one really knew or cared where Joto, Wildebeast and Gizmo had went off to. Falcon scowled and crossed her arms.

"Mr. Hon doesn't want her to compete because of her wrist,"Speedy said, frowning,"Shes still going to though."

"Are you sure you want to,"Robin asked,"Its best to get some rest when your hurt. Don't get so stubborn."

The Titans all skeptically raised their eyebrows at Robin.

"You're one to talk,"Cyborg said.

Robin smiled sheepishly.

Suddenly the whole stadium shook and all the heroes jumped up ready for the attack. They really didn't understand who would decide to attack a building filled with young strong teens with super powers.
Their minds, however, were set at ease when they saw it was only the stadium floor changing. They all sat back down relaxed and laughing at themselves then watched it change.

The floor expanded to become a large triangle shaped arena. In each corner was a floating platform of different colors. One was orange, one was red and the other was green. In one part of the arena trees popped out of the ground. Another area a hill of rocks emerged. Then in the last part the ground spilt open and filled with a large body of rushing water. Then 3 men came out from the sides carrying an armful of flags in different colors. Smoke covered the view and when it had settled the men no longer had flags in their hands and amongst the scene you could see 1 or 2 flags. You suck audience ooed and awed.
(A/n: If you picture this in your head : picture the group as chibi expressions. Rounded eyes and mouths in big wide grins or small little o's.)

Mr. Hon climbed back onto his floating stage and he appeared on the T.V. behind him as well.

"I can see you all like the looks of the final round. That's good because its not just fighting now. Its also got a little twist. The twist is that the 3 last competitors will be placed on a platform – their choice of color. They will also then get a belt of that color. Say, I, chose red. I would get a red belt then when the buzzer rings I will have to get through all the natural obstacles and collect flags of my color and my color only. On the way if I happen to see a friend of mine collecting flags of her color I can try and stop her from collecting that flag. I am not allowed to take her flag though. That is an immediate suspension. The winner of this round is not the person who can kick the most but. It is the person at the very end with the most flags. If you are injured too much to continue and the competition is not over, my medical helpers will come to you and escort you safely out of the arena. Does this sound good," Mr. Hon boomed happily.

The crowd cheered wildly.

"How does he think of this stuff,"Speedy yelled to Robin while clapping.

"I don't know but I kinda wish I was a girl now,"Robin yelled back.

Speedy gave him a quizzical look then smiled and continued to clap.

"This is like extreme capture the flag,"Falcon said, nudging Speedy.

He laughed and put his arm around her,"so you still nervous?"

"Nope. I pwn at capture the flag,"Falcon yelled.

Speedy laughed again and shook his head in mock pity.

Cyborg finished clapping then sat back in his chair. Something didn't feel right. He wiggled in his chair trying to get it comfy again but suddenly the seat of the chair flew up and sent Cyborg flying upwards with it.

"Whoooaaa,"yelled Cyborg.

Below him Gizmo laughed uncontrollably.

"You stupid tin head. I can't believe that just happened,"he yelled through laughs.

"Hey short stuff! Get me down from here,"Cyborg yelled.

Gizmo stuck out his tongue and ran away.

"Grrr,"Cyborg muttered jumping down and chasing after Gizmo,"Come back here you little - ."

Gizmo hopped over the rows of chairs and Cyborg shot a net attached to a string after him. The net fell over Gizmo, trapping him and Cyborg reeled him in towards him, grinning.

"Erg, you dumb-metal-monkey-butt! Let me go," Gizmo growled, squirming to get free.

"Oh, I don't think so," Cyborg said, menacingly.

"Would Starfire, Falcon, and Spidergirl please come down to the starting room to get ready. Starfire, Falcon, and Spidergirl,"a voice boomed out over the speakers.

Starfire, Falcon, and Spidergirl got up from their seats and said goodbye to their friends.

"Good luck,"Speedy said, he pulled Falcon towards him and hugged her tightly.

"Thanks," Falcon said happily, hugging him back.

The Titans wished Starfire good luck and Beastboy wished Spidergirl good luck. Then Wondergirl hugged Spidergirl and Falcon and then the 3 girls went off to the starting room. Behind them they heard calls of goodbye and good luck.

When they got to the room Mr.Hon sat waiting for them in one of the chairs.

"Hello girls," he said pleasantly,"Please, sit."

The girls sat and he began talking to them again.

"You know the rules and everything that's going on but if you have any questions feel free to ask me. No? Alright. I have a red belt, a green belt, and a orange belt. You will put the flags you collect in the compartments of the belts. You can pick whatever color you like,"he said, holding up the belts.

"I call the red one,"Spidergirl yelled and Mr. Hon tossed it to her.

"The orange belt is most nicest,"Starfire said, hoping to get it.

Mr. Hon tossed her the orange belt.

"I guess I'll have the green one ,"Falcon laughed.

Mr. Hon tossed it to her and she put it on loosely overlapping her utility belt.

"Alright. So you all set," Mr. Hon asked.

The girls nodded.

"Good."
