Up next is Kaldur/Rocket. Yay! Thanks to all who reviewed and inspired me to continue with these one-shots.
Kaldur POV:
I was looking through the last mission log intensely. We still didn't know where six of the Justice League members were while they were being controlled and right now that was all that mattered. But my mind couldn't help but wander to Tula. I missed her, I loved her, but she chose Garth and I would have to accept that eventually. I sighed. Thinking about what I had given up by joining the team was painful. Sacrifice hurt, but it was necessary.
"Hey Kaldur, are you okay? You seem down lately," Rocket said with her accent. I had heard many accents here on the surface world, but none quite like hers.
"Yes, I am fine. It's just that we still do not know where the League was and Batman is using all our resources to find out." I replied, not turning to face her.
She walked around me to stand between me and the computer. She tapped my nose saying, "Well looks like you need a break."
I smiled slightly. "I guess so."
"Good," she said grabbing my hand and forcefully pulling me to the practice area. "Come on Water Boy. Let's dance."
We faced each other poised for battle. "You're on," I said seriously.
We fought for a good hour. All the physical exertion melting my worries away and it also helped that Rocket was pretty good company. When we finished we fell to the floor together laughing. She was on top of me and looking into her eyes I couldn't help but think, maybe I don't need Tula anymore.

Robin POV:
"What do you think they're doing." I asked Wally as we watched Kaldur and Rocket fall on top of each other laughing, from behind a column.
"Fifty bucks says they kiss." He replied, continuing to chomp down on chocolate chip cookies Megan had made for him.
"A hundred says they won't." I said upping the bet. I doubted they would. Kaldur was still upset about his Atlantean girlfriend dumping him. And don't ask how I know that, because I know everything.
"Deal," Wally said as we shook hands sealing the deal, while he also managed to coat my hand in cookie crumbs.
He immediately began chomping down on another cookie. "Do you have to eat that loud?"
"What can I say, I have a high metabolism." He said still eating. "Hey did you guys spy on me and Artemis like this when I was talking to her that first time?"
"Nah man, why would we would we do that? We all already knew you liked her." I said grinning and silently laughing to myself. He gave me a look that said, yeah right.
"Dude! Dude! Look he's gonna do it!" He said overexcitedly.
"Quiet!" I whispered loudly. Wally was going to get us caught if he didn't shut up.

Kaldur POV:
"You're pretty good. I'll give you that." She said breathing slightly hard.
"So are you." I replied noticing how nice her lips were. Come on Kaldur focus, I thought. I couldn't think of her like that, because she didn't think of me that way, right? Yes right, and not only that but I couldn't too that to Tula not while I still loved her. Right? "I should get back to the mission logs." I said quickly.
"Why, you afraid to be beaten by a girl?" She said smiling.
"No, it's just…"
"Just what?" She said, her innocent smile was making me second guess what I was about to say next.
"I don't want this to turn into something it is not."
"And what would that be?"
"Rocket I really like you, but I am still in love with Tula. I am not ready to move on." I said sadly trying to look away from her, but with her still on top of me it was difficult.
"Well that's okay, but if you ever change your mind. I'm here." She said and all of the sudden she kissed me. It was just a quick kiss. She barely touched my lips before leaving them. Then she got up and walked off, like nothing had ever happened.

Robin POV:
"Pay up," Wally said expectantly holding out his crumb covered hand for his hundred bucks.
"Stupid aster," I said.

Kaldur POV:
It was just like that and she left. I had driven away both Tula and now her. My love life wasn't going very well at this point. I laid there thinking about Rocket and Tula, how different they both were and how similar. I found that I was beginning to like Rocket more and more. And I thought maybe…one day….She could be mine.

Three things. First, it's hard to type with one hand. Second, doughnuts are yummy. And third, it's even harder to type when that one hand is holding a doughnut. Just thought I'd put that out there. And please don't try it at home; doughnut typing is for professionals only.
If you liked it please review! Merci! (I've heard that's French, but as I'm not French Idk.)
