Twilight entered her room once again. She hadn't been able to get to sleep since she woke up, and her confrontation with Nightwing had not made it better. She lay on her bed staring up at the ceiling. Why did she come here?
She got up and watched toward the kitchen. She decided to get some herbal tea…
She entered the kitchen and the green stove lights blinked at her. 3:02. She poured water into a metal kettle and added the necessary herbs and ingredients for her own herbal tea. When it was done, steam started to pour out of the stout and it started to screech loudly. She grabbed the handle quickly and set it on the counter, careful not to burn herself or anything else. She poured some of the yellowish tea into her cup and sipped it, hoping that she didn't wake anyone.
She closed her eyes as the warm liquid slipped down her throat, warming her entire body. She heard something stir behind her; footsteps. She turned quickly to see Cyborg. She relaxed and smiled at her friend.
Cyborg smiled and nodded at her. It was… odd… how she was. She was always so cheerful and naïve… but… that was before she came. Before Supergirl came… everything was perfect. Everything was… well… normal. Well… As normal as things can get when you are a super hero. He had never liked Supergirl… and from what he knows, neither did Changeling or Raven. And GOD knows that Starfire didn't like her.
After she left, everything was… chaotic. Beast Boy told less jokes… Starfire wasn't there to laugh. Raven was more in her room than out… Starfire wasn't there to talk to. Robin was more obsessive… probably to occupy his mind from anything other that Starfire. Cyborg… he was just dealing with it all. Starfire was no longer there to make him laugh, or to help him wax his 'baby'. Everything had changed, all because Supergirl had come… but it wasn't all her fault. Even though no one could stand her preppy talk, her kiss-ass to get your way attitude, and even her altogether, not much would have changed if Robin hadn't done what he did.
"So… what are you doin' up so early, lil' lady?" he asked. Kori shrugged.
"I dunno… just couldn't sleep." She answered. Cyborg nodded. Just about everything about her changed… her cute and bubbly attitude had changed the most. And her speech. She had changed from 'Nothing, friend! Everything is wonderful!' to 'I dunno… just couldn't sleep…'
Cyborg resisted his urge to frown. What happened to the person he knew? The alien girl that always looked on the bright side of things?
Cyborg looked at the beverage she held in her small hands. He pointed at it.
"So… when did ya start drinking that stuff?" he asked. Kori looked at the tea and shifted in her chair.
"Umm… well, actually, Raven and I used to drink it all the time. I guess old habits grow on their friends…" she said. "So what are you doing up so early? Did I wake you up?" Cyborg shook his head.
"Actually… I went to bed early and now I'm all charged up and ready to go… and I was about to go back to sleep when I realized that I was hungry." He responded.
Kori shrugged and sipped her tea once again. Cyborg turned to the refrigerator and started digging through the food that was covered in a bluish fungus. Kori cringed at the sight of the food and put her cup in the sink. She sat back down at the table, joined by Cyborg, who had found some steak that had not been infested by blue gooey stuff…
"So, what'ya wanna do today?" Cyborg asked, breaking the silence. Kori shrugged.
"I dunno… I guess I gotta ask Marc. He was the one that wanted to come…" she answered. 'Ironically…' she added mentally. Cyborg nodded and pondered himself in his mind.
"So… you really like Marcus?" Cyborg asked. Kori looked at him.
"Of course… he's nice… and sweet… and… hot…" she stared at the table blankly. When she looked up and saw the look on Cyborg's face, she blushed deeply.
"Uhh… t-that was… supposed to s-stay as a… thought…" she stuttered. Cyborg nodded in understanding and smiled.
"Yeah… I won't tell anyone." He assured. Kori smiled at her friend.
"Thanks, Cyborg…" she said.
"No problem, girl… anyways, if you don't know what you wanna do today, we could all go somewhere… I mean… Bumble Bee is comin' to visit today. The other Titans East might be comin… but I don't think so. They never come to visit. Anyways, we could all go out somewhere. Like… I dunno. Oh, yeah… there's supposed to be a party tonight at Club Jump City." Cyborg answered. (A/N: Umm… sorry about the club name… I couldn't think of anything better. SORRY! Please, if you can think of something, give me some ideas for the name in reviews, and IO will change it, and give you credit! YAY!) Kori nodded.
"Sounds great. Marcus loves goin' out. I'll ask him." As if on cue, Marcus came into the kitchen. He was rubbing his blue eyes, yawning.
"Ask me what?" he asked, barely awake. He sat down next to Kori.
"Umm… you wanna go out to Club Jump City? There's a party tonight." Kori answered him. Marcus's head shot up from the table, where he had set it down, falling asleep.
"Heck yes! Finally… somethin' to do around here… great! Sure, I'll go." He responded energetically. Kori grinned.
"Told 'ya." She whispered to Cyborg, who grinned widely in response.
"Well, all right!" he said. This was when Raven decided to come in. She had a large book in her hands. She stopped when she spotted them, and offered the tiniest smile.
"Morning." She said in monotone. This was probably the best mood you could get Raven in when she first wakes up.
"Mornin, Rae."
"Morning."
Good morning…"
They all responded at the same time. Raven nodded and proceeded to the main room, sitting down on the couch, opening her large book, starting to read.
Changeling entered the room, equally as tired as Marcus was when he first entered the room. He immediately sat at the nearest chair he reached at the kitchen table. He rested his head on the table and started to drool. They all stared, disgusted. Raven used her powers to pick up a cooking pan and whacked him over the head with it.
"OWW! RAE! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!" He yelled at her.
"Umm… for the sake of sanity." She replied. Changeling stayed silent. It was evident that he didn't understand a word she had said. He was quite the unintelligent person…
"In other words, if I hadn't done it, we would have all gone insane." Raven explained. Kori looked at the oven clock. 5:30. Wow… time has flown.
Nightwing was the last to come into the room. His longish hair was damp. .He had either taken a shower or been training for a long time. Probably both.
Cyborg decided to talk.
"Hey, Nightwing, we're going to the party. You comin?" he asked. Nightwing looked at him.
"Dude? What party!" Changeling asked.
"At the Club, you idiot." Raven responded.
"I guess I'll go. Nothing else to do…" he said.
"Great!" Cyborg said. Changeling grinned a him and they both ran off to their rooms to do… Lord knows what… Nightwing went over to the couch and started flipping through channels, and Raven stayed where she was.
Kori looked at Marcus, who looked back at her…
"Umm… so what'ya wanna do?" he asked. Kori shrugged.
"Wanna… go to the beach or something?" she suggested. Nightwing suddenly caught the word 'beach'. At the mention of the very word, he could only imagine what Kori looked like in a bikini…
'Eww…' A monotone voice murmured in his head. He cringed.
'… Raven! What the hell? Damned mental bond…' he thought.
'Hey, I can read your thoughts, you know… perv…' Raven told him in his head.
'Great…now she thinks I'm some sort of pervert…' he thought.
'Sure do.' Raven agreed.
"Raven!" he yelled out loud. Raven gave him an hauntingly "innocent" look while Kori and Marcus gave him confused ones. Kori shrugged and decided to break the uncomfortable silence that happened to settle upon the young adults for the past few minutes…
"So… you guys wanna go to the beach? Marcus agreed…" she said.
Nightwing, not wanting to leave Kori alone with Marcus, agreed to go, also. And, he could have sworn that Marcus gave him a warning look. He did a double take, but he saw nothing. He shrugged it off…
Raven gave an awkward smirk and also agreed to go. She wanted to see Nightwing suffer. Yes, he was her leader, her teammate, her friend… Hell, he was pretty much her brother. But still, she hated him for ripping Starfire's heart apart and wanted to see him get what he deserved… something he should have gotten a long time ago. She wanted to see him get what he gave to Starfire back when they were the Teen Titans…
Suddenly, Changeling burst through the door with his violet swim trunks on.
"DUDE! Did someone say… BEACH!" he yelled. Kori smiled and laughed, while Marcus grinned. Raven looked at Nightwing to see he was glaring at Marcus, and also grinned herself…
Well, there's another short chapter. I'm sorry to say that I don't think I'll be updating too much for a while… It's at the convenience of my dad. I'm on restriction… (blah. grr.)
