See? Another chapter! After this is a real change!
Chapter 4
Growing Power, Growing Attraction?
She had trained with Kal El, day after day, week after week. Both of them were incredibly determined, partly because they did not want to distract each other. Well, maybe not each other. It was mainly Starfire trying not to distract Kal El, and Kal El trying not to get distracted by her. Starfire learned about her powers, and more importantly, how to control them. She found that after a couple days, she could open doors without completely crushing the titanium door knobs. She became fascinated with her ability to shoot bright green balls of energy, which she called starbolts, but had to be careful not to make them too destructive. After a couple of weeks, Starfire began sparring with Kal El. He was very strong, and clever too. She started out losing every time, but that only made her more resolute to win. When she wasn't training with Kal El, she was thinking up strategies to use in their next duel. It paid off. She was beginning to become a challenge for Kal El. He was impressed. Nobody had ever surpassed him, the strongest man of Krypton, in one-on-one combat before. Starfire was getting amazingly close. He wondered at her strength, determination... and her beauty.
Her power grows with each passing day... And this is only the beginning for her. The day will come when I will be defeated by her. Then I shall leave, and she shall rule Tamaran. My job will be done... She won't have time to talk to me once she becomes a planetary ruler. And I will lose my already miniscule chance of gaining her love... Love. How can just thinking about it hurt so much?
3 months later...
BOOM!
"Teacher Kal El, I am coming!" Starfire yelled confidently. She shot through the air, green balls of energy glowing in her hands. She was soaring straight at Kal El.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
She looked around. She had thrown four starbolts at him, but she knew Kal El well enough to know that he had somehow evaded them.
Aha, she thought.
Swish! Starfire quickly spun around, conjuring up a big starbolt in her right fist at the same time, and thrust her fist right into Kal El's stomach.
"OOF!" Kal El spat out blood. Something must have burst inside.
Damn, this girl is strong!
"Teacher Kal El! Are you severely wounded?" Starfire floated around him looking worried, inspecting his body for injuries.
"I'm fine. But if you hadn't controlled your power I wouldn't be talking right now... Well, I think it is now safe to say that you are the strongest being I have ever encountered in my life! And that is a long time, considering a Kryptonian's life span."
"Teacher, is that true? Have I really improved that much? Oh, I am overjoyed! Thank you teacher Kal El, for teaching me so much!" With that, Starfire gave Kal El a fierce hug.
"Ah! Go easy on me, Princess. You packed quite a punch back there." But Kal El didn't care. Feeling her warm body against his was the most wonderful feeling ever.
"I am so sorry! I did not mean to hurt you teacher."
Kal El thought she looked so beautiful and innocent when she said this.
It pains me that her innocence will soon be shattered... Becoming the queen of Tamaran means dealing with corrupt rulers and politicans. She will realize that evil lurks inside the heart of many. She's just so pure... I won't ever forgive myself if she gets hurt.
For what seemed like hours, Starfire and Kal El just looked at each other, floating in midair. Kal El was afraid that Starfire might hear his heart beating, because it was beating furious and loud.
"Starfire... I've been meaning to say this, well, from the moment I saw you. I know it's not right for me to-"
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
