Welcome to chapter 4! This chapter will be really good! I hope, I finally got rid of writer's block (kicked his butt to the curb)

: Mission impossible music plays: (author's pov)
"This is Shapeshifter to Lightning, come in Lightning" Changeling said into the walkie-talkie. "Lightning here, ready to commence plan Alpha Delta?" Flash replied. "Commence plan Alpha Delta now!" Changeling ordered. Gar gave the signal to his partner down the hall and the speedster took off. Sometimes you had to wonder how those two could be twenty years old and still act like children, only they could pull it off. Now plan Alpha Delta was under way, what exactly the plan is, I have no idea and I'm the author! What are these pranksters up to now? "Do you wanna know what we're doing?" Gar asks the confused authoress. "Uh, yes I would" I reply indignantly. "This is my story and I should have some idea what's going on!" Changeling bumps me off my chair and takes my place at the keyboard.
Agent Lightning headed down the hall towards the girls rooms. The girls had gone on yet another shopping trip but I'm pretty sure it was Star's idea and she forced the other two to come. I still don't see why girls like shopping so much. "Garfield!"Irish Whirlwindyelled from the ground, "Get off my computer!" I stick my foot in her face and she passes out. I didn't think my feet smelled that bad. Anyways, agent lightning went into Raven's room first and set the trap. When Raven sits on her bed later she'll get a big surprise, like a hidden net perhaps? And if a certain boyfriend just happened to find her trapped in said net? 'Laughs evilly' "Lightning head for Whirlwind's room next" I ordered into the walkie-talkie, "Got it boss, Lightning out" Flash reported. The agent zoomed down the hall to the aerokinetic's room. Wow, I didn't know I knew a word like aerokinesis! The prank we have for the air bender is a little sneakier. We have a bucket of Jell-O (which she hates) above the door, and then across the floor we have mousetraps. We decided not to prank Star because she gets too sensitive about it.
The authoress stirs and glares at the green boy sitting in HER chair. She leaps at him, "Get back into the story!" I yell as I throw him back into fictional land. Sorry about that everyone, Man, his feet stink! Moving on, Flash found Gar lying face down on the living room floor. "What are you doing?" Flash asked slowly. "Whatever the nice, forgiving author tells me to do" he replied obediently. Dance my puppet Dance! Wait how'd you get here? Author throws the Puppet King back into fiction land too. Sorry boys, lets continue. "And someone shut off the music!"
The scheming duo played video games until the girls got back. "We are back from the Mall of Shopping!" Starfire announced, "How do I look?" Kai asked, stopping in the doorway and posing. Wally's mouth of course dropped open. She was wearing a blue tube top! "That's nice but not your usual style" Gar commented. "Well," Kai explained, "Star picked it out for my date Friday" (Wally pov)
Of course! Her date with Speedy was this Friday! Lucky bastard, he got to it first. Stupid. I mentally hit myself for being too slow. Now she's gonna go off and marry Speedy and have lots of Speedy babies and I'll just sit back and watch the love of my life fade away. ARGH! "Is something wrong Wally?" she asked. "Nope, nothing" I said nervously turning back to the game. "Ok, I'm just going to put my things away, Cya" I smiled evilly and winked at Gar who smiled back. I waited to hear her scream of anger but instead I heard a scream of terror. "Somebody help!" Kai yelled, "Wally!" she sounded scared "Get away from me!" I rushed to her room and pushed open the door. SPLASH! I heard her snigger and wiped the red goop from my eyes to see her smirking at me. "How'd you do it?" I exasperated. "I figured something was up, so I flew in through my window" she stated, "Now pick up the mousetraps and get out so I can change" "GARFIELD LOGAN!" the name erupted through the tower, "GET IN HERE NOW!" Raven screeched. I saw Gar walking shyly towards the empath's room. We looked at each other and sighed. Our pranks never worked. I picked up the traps, stuck my tongue out at Kai, and stomped out the door. (Gar pov)
"I can't believe the girls foiled our pranks again! I just finished getting the J-ello out of my hair!" Flash complained as me and him sat in my room awhile later. "Our girls huh?" I laughed, "Yea" Flash agreed, "Hey wait Kai isn't my girl" "but you can always dream right?" I joked "Ha-ha ur so funny Gar" he grimaced "I know" I grinned. "Hey guys" Cy greeted as he side-stepped the piles of messes in my room. "Do either of u know where Robin is?" I asked. "On a date with Starfire!" Cy and Flash said in unison "I should a known" I shook my head. "I think he's gonna pop the question!" Cy said. "Finally!" Flash exclaimed. "So when r u gonna propose to Kai?" I joked.
Flash's head hit the desk by my bed with a thud. "Shut up! What about Rae, huh Gar?" he threw back at me. "Wally and Kai sitting in a tree!" I sang. "Grow up!" he shouted, "We're 20 yrs old now we gotta act mature" he leaned back casually. "Yeah Right!" we all yelled. (Wally pov)
Kai, Gar, and I were playing video games while Star and Robin were on their date and Cy was working on the T-car and Raven was at her usual café. Kai had just made a fabulous lunch of the best Mac& cheese the boys had ever eaten. I had lost for the 5th time so I went to stand by the window. It was beautiful and surprisingly cool for July. The sun was shining on the bay making the water sparkle. 'Like Kai's eyes' I thought, 'Gah! Can't I go for five minutes and not think of her?' I sneaked a glance at her and smiled. She had a look of utter concentration on her face, her brow was creased and her lips were set in an arrogant smirk. She grinned as she beat Gar for the umpteenth time. I turned back to the window and saw a glint in the distance. As it got closer, I realized it was a spaceship. It was heading straight for the tower!
"Gar!" I shouted and pointed at the ship, "Do you recognize that ship?" Gar's eyes widened and he frowned, "Val Yor" he whispered. "That creep who insulted Star?" Kai seethed. "Yea" Gar said faintly, his eyes still on the ship. "Wonder what he wants?" I asked to no one in particular. "Only one way to find out" Kai said, "Cyborg, get your butt up here now!" I heard the metal man scrounge around. A few seconds later he appeared through the door. "What's up?" he asked, "Val Yor is here for a visit" Gar explained. "What!" Cy yelled as he headed to the roof, we followed. We arrived just in time, he was just landing. Val Yor came down the exit ramp holding a toddler in his arms. "Greetings Titans!" he called jovially, we all glared at him. "Whaddya want?" Cy scoffed. "I just came to visit and ask a favor" he stated. "What kind of favor?" I asked, eyeing the kid who was staring innocently at us. "Well," Val Yor stopped nervously; "I was wondering if you could baby-sit my nephew, Mical for awhile" Kai walked up to the 'hero' and stared him in the eyes. 'He's about to get burned!'
"You expect us to just willingly baby-sit right on the spot!" she spat at him. "Yes" he said simply. "Why us?" she asked, "I was in the area and my brother dropped the kid on me at the last minute" Val Yor said. "Why don't you take care of him!" she asked, "He's your nephew!" "I have important matters to attend to" he barked. "Like what?" Gar asked. "I have to defeat the monsters on Jupiter" Val Yor explained, "And this is urgent?" Kai asked, exasperated. "Of the highest importance!" he puffed out his chest. "Must not be very important if they trusted you with the job!" Kai smirked. I laughed inwardly, 'Yep there's the girl I know and love, wait, did I say LOVE?' I looked at her glaring at Val Yor and thought, 'Yea I do love her, but she has Speedy' I frowned. Mical looked at everyone in awe and fear and then started to sob softly. "Pweez don't make mwee stay with unkel Valor" he cried. I saw Kai's eyes soften, 'No Kai, don't do what I think you're doing!' "Alright, we'll watch the kid" she said, "how long?" "Just till late tonight" Val Yor sighed relieved. He handed the boy to Kai and walked back onto his ship and took off. "How do we know he'll come back?" I asked. "Oh he'll come back" Kai smiled, "I put a tracker/neuron shocker on him" We laughed, "Very smart Kai" Cy complimented, "If he's gone too long we can shock him and find him" "So what now?" Gar questioned referring to Mical. Kai set Mical down and asked him, "What do wanna do Mical?" "I wike books and spaceships" Mical said shyly. "Cy, do you know if we have any old toys somewhere in the tower?" Kai asked.
Soon toys were spread across the main room floor. Mical sat playing with an old train. Cy went back down to the garage muttering something about calling Bee. Gar was sifting through the boxes of toys, going on a walk down memory lane and Kai was sitting watching Mical with the oddest expression on her face. 'Did she want to have kids?' I thought, I looked at the kid. He looked very different from his uncle, he still had silvery hair but his face was softer and not so robust. He also didn't have silver skin like Val Yor, maybe his mother is an earthling. 'The bad thing is, we are all getting attached' Mical was sharp for a three year old. I looked at Kai again, 'I'd like to give her a kid' I stopped, 'Whoa, where'd that come from!' I walked down towards the garage to talk to Cyborg. (Kai pov)
Mical had to be the cutest kid in the universe! He was also very smart, he was shy though. He sat making choo-choo noises as he played with the train. I hope I have a kid like him someday. "Hey Mical" I called, he looked up. "Wes, Kay?" I smiled, he still couldn't pronounce our names. Gar was car, Flash was fish, and I was Kay. The only name he could say was Cy. I tried to tell him that my name sounded like 'eye' with a K but he didn't get it. "What would you like for dinner?" I asked him. "I don't know" he shrugged. "Do you like spaghetti?" I questioned. "Wes!" he cheered, "I wike sketti!" "Ok, spaghetti it is" I got up and headed to the kitchen. "Mical, after dinner would you like to watch a movie?" Gar asked the boy, "Wes!" he cried "Tank you, unkel Car!" he hugged the shapeshifter who gave him a noogie. Wally walked in and went to the fridge, "No food," I snapped, "you'll spoil your dinner" he smiled at me, "Aww Mom!" he joked as he went over to Mical. "Mical, do you want to build a fort?" Wally asked. The boy squealed and the trio started grabbing pillows and blankets. I rolled my eyes. I put a pot on the stove and started to cook the noodles. I let that simmer while I chopped the tomatoes. I made sure to not to put meat in it for Gar's sake. I made a separate dish of meat for those who wanted it. An hour later, the boys had finished their fort as I just finished cooking. I spooned the spaghetti onto plates and grabbed the parmesan cheese out of the fridge. "Something smells good" Wally said walking towards me and I thought of one of my favorite daydreams. A daydream involving me cooking and Wally putting his arms around me from behind. I shook my head to clear the images. "It'll taste even better" I said, setting the plates on the table. Mical rushed over, "Look auntie Kay, look at our fort!" he jabbered excitedly. I looked over at it, the entire couch had been converted into a huge tent! "Wow, impressive" I commented, "Now it's time for dinner." Cy came up from the garage and we ate. We asked Mical about his life and he told us funny stories. We found out that his mother was from earth and that his father had met her when he had explored here.
After dinner, we went through all our old kid's movies and he finally picked one out. The Little Mermaid. The boys groaned but I silenced them with a look. Luckily for Gar, Raven had just walked in and they went off to 'read' Cy was also lucky because he had a date with Bee. Only Wally and I were left. We got into the fort which was open in the front so we could see the screen and started the movie. (Wally pov) (I'm about to use the most over-used and fluffy scene ever created on fanfiction. I hate myself.)
The movie wasn't so bad and Mical seemed to enjoy it. I haven't seen this movie in so long, but it finally came to the lagoon scene. 'The romance scene' I groaned.
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
I looked at Kai, 'Why this song?'
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
We were sitting about two feet apart so I scooted closer so our legs were touching.
Sing with me now
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
He ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad
Ain't it shame, too bad
You gonna miss the girl
I couldn't do it, what if she laughed or pushed me away? It could ruin our friendship.
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
But what if she felt the same? What if she doesn't, my brain argued.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
I know I want to kiss her but I also know she doesn't feel the same.
Float along
Listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Music play
Do what the music say
You wanna kiss the girl
I leaned towards her and kissed her cheek swiftly. She turned to look at me and smiled. My heart sky-rocketed.
You've got to kiss the girl
Why don't you kiss the girl
You gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
I turned back towards the movie with a goofy smile that I knew was on plastered on my face. The movie continued and suddenly Kai leaned against me. I put my arm around her waist and felt the softness of her t-shirt.
By the end of the movie, Mical was nodding off. "I think it's time for bed" Kai whispered, my pants felt uncomfortable as she said this, but then I realized she was talking to Mical. The boy nodded and fell into her arms. She picked him up and he snuggled closer. "Night Mical" I said, "Night unkel Fish" he yawned. I grinned and Kai headed towards her room with Mical in tow. I was almost sad to see the kid go.
I heard the doors open behind me, "Hello friend Wally!" Kory said in her usual cheeriness. "Hey Starfire" I replied. I looked at Robin, "How was your date?" "Glorious!" Star said. Robin smiled shyly, "We're engaged" he said. I heard a squeal behind me and soon Kai had enveloped Kory in a hug. "Finally!" Kai and I yelled. "What have you guys been doing?" Robin asked, wiggling his eyebrows at me. 'Since when did Rob have a sense of humor?' "We baby-sat" Kai said. "Who?" Star questioned. We explained all about Val Yor and Mical and Robin nodded. "We should all head to bed" robin ordered, "It's been a long day." I looked over at Kai who shook her head, "I'll stay up and wait for Val Yor" she stated, "You guys go ahead." Robin and Star went their separate ways but I lagged behind. I hugged Kai, "You'll be a great mom someday" I whispered in her ear. "Thanks" she whispered back, "Night Flash." I staggered towards the door, yawning. "Night Whirl"
The next morning
"MAIL CALL!" Gar screeched
'Alright!' I thought. "Fanmail?" Kai asked uneasily. "Yea" Gar replied. Kai groaned, "I hate fanmail!" "Why?" I asked, "They always ask me about my love life" she cried. "So by that you mean lack of?" I grinned, she whacked me with a pillow. We ripped open the big box and started to grab letters. I sat down next to Kai and poured a pile of mail on her lap. I opened one and read it. I laughed, "Kai look at this one!"
Hi flash! I was just wondering if you're getting together with Whirlwind or not because if you're not, I'm available! Signed Wanda.
"Will they ever give up?" I joked. Kai glared at the letter and tossed it at my head. I dodged it. "Open one of yours" I told her. She sighed and opened one. I watched her read it and saw her eyes widen and a blush creep across her cheeks. "What, another love letter?" I asked. "No, it's one of those embarrassing ones" "Let me see!" I tried to grab it, but she pulled away. I was too quick for her though; I grabbed it and read it. I gulped and looked at her, willing myself not to blush.
Hi Whirlwind, I just wanted to know, is Flash as good in bed as they say he is?
Yours truly, Kim
"How would I know that!" she sighed. 'Wanna find out? No bad brain!' I looked away. "Why does everyone assume we're together?" I said, "I know!" she agreed, "Can't they see that we're just best friends!" 'Best friends, right, just friends nothing more' I grabbed another letter and laughed. "Oh great! Another stalker!" I handed it to her and she read it,
Oh flash, you are so hot! Please marry me! Your red hair is such a turn on! We could live in Hawaii! My picture is enclosed you are the king of hotness!
I'm in love! Lisa
Kai threw the letter in the air and tore it apart with a huge gust of wind. I smirked at her, "Jealous huh?" she glared and smiled. The rest of the afternoon was filled with laughter and letter reading.
I finally came to the last letter in my pile, it was a black envelope with silver writing, and there was no return address. I walked to my room to read it. I sat on the edge of my bed and ripped it open. My eyes hardened and I grit my teeth as the words processed in my head. I grabbed my uniform and slipped it on. Then I wrote a letter to the team saying I'd be gone for awhile. 'If this is the way he wants it' I thought bitterly 'then he's gonna get it!' and I walked off into the night.
(Kai pov) the next day
'I wonder where he went' I thought as I walked to Wally's room, 'His letter said he was visiting a friend' I was really worried about him. 'Why did he leave so suddenly?'
I went into his room and looked around. It was pretty neat, but then again he could clean any mess up in about ten seconds. I noticed a crumpled up piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and read the note. My eyes widened and I ran to tell the others. 'Please be safe' I thought as the paper fluttered to the ground.
Dear Slowpoke,
I escaped and I want revenge. I know that Whirlwind likes me and I know you have a crush on her so I suggest a fight to the death! Whoever wins gets the girl, if you do not except this challenge I will come and kidnap her!
Meet my friend at the pier and he will give you the address where you can find me.
See you soon slowpoke, Red-X
Chapter 5 coming soon.
