Chapter 2: The Next Day

The storm had raged through the night, but the sun was pressing its way through the clouds. Farrah woke up first and smiled as the warm sun kissed her body. She got out from her boyfriend's warmth and stretched like a cat. Whisking her tail, the white-furred cat-girl said,

"Come on, sweetie. Time to wake up."

She leaned closer, almost letting her boyfriend look down the shirt she was wearing. When Leon opened his eyes, he was staring at Farrah and immediately jumped up,

"Farrah, what-what's going on?"
The cat girl grinned,

"Don't you remember? You kept me warm during the horrible storm last night. Now, it's morning."

Leon sat there for a minute, letting the events play out last night. He then remembered it all,

"All right, Farrah. I remember now."

He then got worried about what the others, including the adults might think. Farrah looked at him with a slightly worried look,

"Honey, are you all right?"

The red-eyed teen shook his head,

"I should go and get ready. After a few minutes, you leave my room and go back to yours, so no one suspects anything."
Farrah was confused,

"Why would the suspect anything? You didn't do anything to me, though, I wish you did."

The powerhouse did not know how to respond to that. Farrah sighed,

"Fine, if it means that much to you, we'll do it your way."

Her ears twitched at that moment,

"Falcon's coming."

Leon stood up and nodded,

"All right."
He hastily got dressed as he heard the knock on the door. The precognitive hero looked around and barely caught Farrah's tail whisking outside of a small box. Leon blinked and wondered,

How does she do it?

Sam's voice could be heard,

"Yo, Leon! Breakfast's gonna be ready in a minute."

Leon called,

"I'll be right there."

He put on a shirt and some jeans and opened the door,

"Hey, Sam."

Sam Wilson, the avian teen Avenger Falcon, smirked,

"Hey, man."

Redwing, Sam's partner, cooed a greeting as well.

Once the two left, Persiana opened the small box and slinked out of it. Still wearing her night shirt, she silently crept to the door, staying on the balls of her feet. Farrah could stay like this for hours, if she wanted to, and she opened the door slightly, just enough for her to squeeze through without making noise. She stood up and, as the white-haired teen girl was making her way back to her room, a familiar voice said,

"Well, well, well…"

Carol Danvers, the heroine Miss Marvel, was hovering above the ground slightly. The Air Force brat had witnessed Farrah leaving Leon's room and was about to confront her rival.

Farrah hissed, spinning around,

"Barbie, I swear to God, if you say a word of this, I'll rip your throat out."

Carol shot back,

"Why shouldn't I?"
Persiana said threateningly,

"Leon and I didn't do anything, Barbie."

Carol mocked,

"Only because he has feelings for me more, furball. One look at you, anyone can see that."

The lion-like girl roared,

"DIE!"
She pounced and a cat-fight erupted.

Simon Williams, the Avenger Wonder Man, and one of the caretakers to the kids, had stumbled upon the cat-fight and said,

"Hey, what's going on?"
Carol managed to blurt out,

"Farrah and Leon were in bed last night!"
Farrah screamed,

"That's it, Barbie! Die!"

A short time later…

With the fight being broken up, and the entire team finding out about it, James Rhodes, the Avenger War Machine, and team leader, spoke to Persiana and Crisis privately,

"What's going on?"

Leon explained,

"Farrah came into my room last night because she was scared of the storm and I told her she could stay in my bed for the night. We didn't do anything."

Farrah nodded,

"It's true, Mr. Rhodes. We didn't."

She added with sadness,

"I wish he did, though."

Leon held the bridge of his nose,

"I did not need for you to say that."

Rhodes looked at the two of them,

"And, that's all that happened?"

Farrah nodded sadly,

"Yeah, I'm scared of lightning and thunder. It must be a side-effect of my powers."

Rhodes said,

"All right, I'll talk this over with Pulsar and Wonder Man. Dismissed."

As the two teen Avengers left, Falcon asked,

"What's the verdict?"
The red-eyed swordsman shook his head,

"We'll just have to wait."

Natasha Romanoff, the spy Avenger Black Widow, shook her head,

"It does not seem fair, Leon."

Crystal, the Inhuman princess, nodded in agreement,

"Yes, the storm last night was very violent. I wish Quicksilver was there to comfort me."

Miss Marvel pointed and laughed,

"Farrah's in trouble! Farrah's in trouble!"

Persiana pounced, screaming,

"That's it! Prepare to die!"
And a cat-fight resumed…
