"EVERYBODY STAY CALM! I HAVE ARRIVED!"
Connor looked at the door over the top of his glass and scowled. "Great, Dick, your girlfriend is here…and she brought her crazy alien friend."
Scarlet winked and Connor's drink exploded in his face. "Oops."
Suki giggled. She dropped her bag on the floor and practically skipped over to Richard who was reading a book on chemistry. "Afternoon, lover," she smirked, leaning in to kiss him.
Scarlet rolled her eyes and went to help herself to a drink. "I feel used," she muttered, "used and abused."
Connor snorted. "It's not the first time they've traded to be with each other. With Dick in Gotham and Suki in Star City they complain how hard it is to have a long distance relationship. Well," he shrugged, "she complains, he sits there and reads."
Scarlet came and sat down on the couch and pulled out her homework-history this time. She was buried in it whilst Suki chatted toe Richard, occasionally they two of them would suck each other's face facehugger style.
"Why exactly are you hiding out here?" Connor asked Scarlet as she was reading up on Ancient Rome.
"It's the Queen-Allen-Harper family gathering," Scarlet shrugged, "I have no desire to hang around whilst Starla tries to get me to speak with my egg donor."
"Even your issues have issues," Connor smirked. "But I'm glad you're okay."
"My issues most definitely have issues," she sighed, "but I think I'm getting better."
"Do you wanna play a game?" Suki whispered with a grated voice in Scarlet's ear making her scream.
"A big giant fuck you to introducing me to those Saw movies!" Scarlet gasped.
"Spin the bottle?" Suki grinned.
"Suki, hun," Richard frowned, "last time that didn't end well."
"Fine," she huffed, "truth or dare."
Connor shrugged. "Okay. Truth or dare…whatever it is."
"It is what she says it is," Scarlet told him, "truth or dear. She'll use that bottle and whoever it lands on will answer the phrase truth or dare. If they pick truth-you must answer with the truth. If you say dare she's probably make your fly around the world naked and there is nothing you can do about it. If you pick truth and you don't want to answer it you have to do a dare. Likewise, if you pick dare and you do not want to do it you must answered with the truth."
Richard shook his head from behind Suki and mouthed don't do it.
"Chicken," Suki teased, "buck, buck, buck."
"Fine!" Connor snapped.
The four teens sat down on the floor and Suki proclaimed since she was the Queen-literally-she claimed first dibs on the bottle. Spinning it, Connor groaned when it landed on him. Suki smirked. "Pick your poison, Connor."
"Truth," he replied.
"Do you like my blonde friend over there?" she asked him. "Pretty little Scarlet?"
Scarlet blushed.
"Dare," he snipped.
"I dare you and Scarlet to hide in the supply closet and do seven minutes in heaven!" Suki smirked.
"Hey!" Scarlet snapped. "Since when did I get pulled into this? Bad enough you dragged me into this in the first place."
"Since now," Suki shrugged. She pointed to the supply closet door and with reluctance the two teens got up and trudged over to the closet. She closed the door behind them, trapping them in the little room.
"This is ridiculous," Connor muttered.
"You have a very broad chest," Scarlet frowned, slapping Connor's chest. "Just like your clone or whatever he is."
"Less talking, more kissing," Suki snapped through the door. "The bottle commands it."
"This was your stupid idea to start with!" Connor argued.
"She's not going to leave us alone," Scarlet sighed.
Connor was quiet for a little while before he spoke. "The other day…when you were in my room and you were projecting…did you really do that to make sure those kids were fed and clothed?"
Scarlet looked away, she could only just make his features out in the darkness but she was sure that he could see her. "I had to. If I hadn't…they would have died. All of them…or had to do it themselves. I'm disgusted in myself but I'm also proud. Those kids are live because of me…" She snorted. "That woman…Mary Lee…if she could see what her daughter has done she'd never accept me. An alien half breed who whored herself out to survive." She laughed, it was a kind of bitter laugh. "You should be so lucky that you don't see the world like I do."
"Less talking, more kissing," Suki snapped through the door a second time. "The bottle commands it."
"You said seven minutes in heaven!" Scarlet snapped. "The rules of the game state you can do whatever in those seven minutes so if I choose to talk than by god I will talk!"
"Buzzkill!" Suki snapped.
Scarlet shook her head. "You should see her at school. Little miss rules the school. She has people that fetch things for her? Did you know that? Queen by name, Queen by nature." She cleared her throat, "can I ask why you didn't answer the truth? I mean I know I'm not the best looking girl on the block with Mr Clone of Superman, perfect in every way but I have feelings too you know."
"Scarlet?" he spoke.
"Yes?" she replied.
"Shut up," Connor frowned.
Scarlet sighed. "Me from four months ago would not be worrying about seven minutes in heaven that's for sure. More like where the next meal came from and how I was going to get it. Sometimes I envy the Queen's and the life they lead-"
Connor shut her up and pressed his lips against hers.
Scarlet squealed and pulled away. "What the hell are you doing?"
"It seemed to be the only way to shut you up," Connor replied.
Scarlet licked her lips and kissed him a second time. This time he started exploring the inside of her mouth with his tongue in a teenage frenzy of passion. He put his hands on her waist and slipped it up underneath her bra. She moaned a little as he deepened the kiss.
Connor pushed her back against the door, pinning her there.
"Connor let me go!" Scarlet whispered. "Stop!" Her powers flung him back through the wall as the closet exploded outwards. Scarlet's eyes widened in terror and she fell back out of the closet gasping for breath.
Suki ran over to her and helped her up. "Sweetie are you okay?" she whispered.
"Never make me do that again," Scarlet hissed.
"Would you four for a second take something seriously?" snapped Megan suddenly. "Honestly!" Standing in the doorway she taped her foot on the cold metal floor and waited. "Your assistance has been requested in locating lost hikers in Yellowstone National Park before the volcano erupts."
"Well isn't that just great?" Suki sighed. "No offence but me and Richard don't have super powers."
"We're going to locate the hikers," Megan explained. "Connor and Scarlet will monitor the volcano. It's suspected to not be a natural incursion. It's up to them two-fire and Martians do not mix."
"Great," Suki sighed. She got up and grabbed Scarlet's hand, dragging her to the locker room to change.
"How exactly do we get to Yellowstone?" Scarlet asked her.
"Well I'm flying," Suki shrugged, getting to her locker. "Your telekinetic…ever thought about trying to fly yourself?"
Scarlet frowned. "No…I never really thought about it. But it would be cool." She opened her locker and started to strip down, still feeling the tightness of Connor's grip on her arm.
