" Robin, I do not see why you are covering my eyes. I have fell many times on what I hope were stairs..." They were steps. Richard or Robin as he preferred was covering Star's eyes as he led her up a flight of Stairs and finally on to...the roof.
" Ta-Da!" As she regained her vision, her eyes scanned her surroundings. On the roof Robin had set up fold out chairs and a little plastic table. Robin was grinning.
" It's a bit rushed...the Janitor really needs new locks" Starfire didn't speak as she was given a seat.
" Robin why are we on the roof?" She asked confused.
" We haven't had much time together lately without Vic or Gar, so I thought maybe we could just...enjoy today?" Underneath his glasses he was blushing.
" Oh Robin this will be most wonderful! You are very thoughtful!" She leaned over and gave him a crushing hug.
" Yeah but that's not all" He pushed a box into her hand. " I wanted to buy you something for our...month an' a half anniversary!" Realll smooth. He tensed as Star gasped at his present.
" Robin I...adore it! You are truly amazing!" In her hands was a small silver necklace with a bird pendant hanging off it. Star was still in awe as Robin put it on her.
" Robin I love you!" Before he could reply he was caught up in one of her sweet kisses. He melted.
" I hoped so."
As Aqualad and Garfield were drying off in the changing room, Raven turned to Jinx.
" Has everyone returned their submissions?" Jinx nodded producing a handful of slips.
" I made one for Gar and Vic..." Jinx eyed her suspiciously.
" ...as a cover up I don't really know much about what there here for." She lied. Gar had told her all about that and he shared info on Vic's case too. Jinx skimmed through them.
" All you've said is Gar has a vast understanding of Nature..." Raven coughed to interrupt her.
" Don't read them out! Just make sure you get them replaced tonight." The pink haired girl grinned and saluted like an army officer.
" Affirmative. Project Personal registrar goes online tonight!"
" Online? More like filing system. This school doesn't know the meaning of Compact disc."
" I'm gonna hack into the system anyway. I've been dieeeeing to put a Care Bear's screen saver on Prof X's laptop!" The girl's smiled as the now dry boys walked out.
" huh? Why are you so happy?" He asked in almost disbelief. Gar however took Jinx's advice from the cafe to heart.
" Probably fantasizing 'bout you in your swimwear again." This made Aqualad blush.
" Wha? A-again?" Jinx went flaming red and Raven soon followed. In revenge Miss Hex retaliated.
" Hey! It's hard not to!" This, however, made the situation more awkward.
" hmmm so before when you shouted Gay Perv...it was just a distraction to-"
" feel you up? Sure" Raven added flatly but her red face didn't give the intended effect. The Boys exchanged grins.
"Such innocent girls, to be cursed by such impure thoughts!" Gar announced dramatically. He slipped on his new hoody,curtsy of Ant. Who was being awfully nice this week.
" Oh Woe me!" Jinx laughed and dragged Raven away leaving two much clearer sighted boys behind. Aqualad commented on a topic they'd discussed in the Changing room.
" Thanks again for taking her to the dance for the start." He said in an almost warningly happy voice, if that's possible.
" I have so gotta spike their drinks!" Gar said mistily, as if imagining what mayhem that could cause.
" Your funeral"
Funeral ?
Posters for the upcoming dance covered the walls the next day. It was Halloween themed, to Gar's delight, and there where prizes for the best costumes. 8 o'clock 'till 12, at a separate hall, not too far from the school.When he conferred with his new friends they said they'd dress up too- Starfire kept chattering on about battle uniforms that some aliens wore in a manga she'd read. Gar knew what he'd be going as but Raven was extremely secretive. News had gotten round that he was taking her to the dance, a few Gile's "fan girls" had started hissing as she and the swimmer walked together. Aqualad didn't take it lightly and offered to skip his sessions.
" No you need to be there. I can wait-come when your finished" She had replied to him. Rumors were also flying about Richard Greyson- although it was common knowledge about him and Kori. " Dick" was extremely nervous about asking her to the dance. Many girls where out on the hunt.
But the dance wasn't the only talk of the school. You may have forgotten but this week was also the host of the awaited Deathstroke v Jump high sports clash. Vic had secured himself a place on the staring 5 for the basketball team ( The Jump high Tigers ) and after finishing practicing Gar and Aqualad were the entrants for the Gala.
The school population was hyped. Seats for the events the following night were sold out. Raven, Jinx and Robin had grabbed the last swimming tickets. Robin hinted that last year one of the swimmers was a Star on the Martial arts team. Whereas Starfire and the small cheer leading squadron where at the basketball match...but that wasn't on the mind of one Victor Stone.
After debating with himself for several minutes he came to Galfore's form. X didn't mind him slipping out every now and then, just as long as he won tomorrows.
Knocking politely he asked Star if he could have a word with Gar. Giggling she pushed the green boy out, Vic caught a glimpse of cotton candy pink. Gar spoke:
" Look Vic the rings are working! All ready for..."
" No, I'm not here for that!" Vic wanted to open the door but that would be weird.
" What then?" He questioned. The athlete whispered into Gar's pointed ears.
" YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?" He shouted. Vic heard muffled laughs from inside.
" Please!" but Gar turned his nose.
" No way Coward!"
" Don't make me beg!" He did anyway. Vic shook the smaller boy around until Gar looked greener.
" Urg...ok" Dizzily the green teen wandered back in. After listening to a laugh, small whispers and "ooooo"'s from others, Gar reappeared.
" She said pick her up at the Hi-ku cafe at 7:30..." Vic gleamed. Gar cursed saying he felt sick. Leaving the happy cyborg so he could go puke somewhere.
" SHE SAID YES!" He screamed. Prancing down the corridor he couldn't wait to see her at the dance.
Back in Galfore's form Jinx sat snickering with her friends.
" And I always thought he was such a man!" she joked.
After Vic pounced off happily, Raven went back to Jinx's story. Last night she had successfully completed...Project personal registrar! The pink minx was now reliving her side assignment for Prof X.
" I can't wait to see his face!" She exclaimed. Jinx relayed how easy it was to get away from the cameras and security then on to freedom. All those Dance classes and Gymnastics hadn't gone to waste!
" What about the main computers?" Raven whispered as Gar walked past. He was helping Star sort out her music notes.
" What about them?"
" Did you check for any files?" Jinx looked horrified.
" NO! I completely forgot- I just,... they won't have our records stored on there will they?" Raven puzzled.
" There is a high chance after last year. You'll have to go back and look. Those records have to be altered. They tell everything about us" Her expression darkened. " Our family, our Friends, every last detail of our powers "
" I'll go tonight- but what if we're wrong and they are still as stupid as-"
" Jasmine Hex!" The form whirled around to face the authority figure. Prof R.X.
" Ah shit" she cussed. This provoked him more.
" I love my new desktop...The headmaster wants you in his office about this now!" He swiftly turned and Jinx slowly followed. She saw Raven's smirk and promptly made an obscene gesture.
" Love you to!" Raven laughed.
Phew I've been writing a lot latley...not but I've still got a way to go with this one. I can't wait to get on to the Deathstroke scenes and the Dance. Here's the questions:
Is it busted for Jinx? What mystery shrouds Deathstroke academy? What is the History connecting it to Robin? And who is he connected to? Next time in Chapter 13 ! Read and Review ppl!
