Don't own anything.


One word can describe this entire ride to Tamaran:

Boredom.

Sheer Boredom.

The parents won't let me or any of us touch the controls, my room is blanker than April's head, and I forgot my iPod. Who knew being a superhero would be so boring? I'm waiting for that siren to go off so I can start kicking some butt, but of course it hasn't. I roll over onto my stomach and stoke Titan behind the ears lightly. I hear a light knock at my door and Titan awakes from his daze, puts himself in front of me and barks loudly.

"Who's there?" I yell over Titan's barks.

"Wally! Can I come in?" Wally? I'm taken aback but say yes anyway. Why did Wally even want to talk to me? We don't talk that often to begin with. The door swishes open and Titans leaves my side to go to Wally and roll on his belly.

"Some protection you are." I mumble under my breath. Wally laughs and rubs Titans belly for a moment or two and then starts to talk.

"So what's up? You've been locked in your room more than Brendon these past few days." His sky blue eyes look at me concerned and I chuckle.

"It's nothing. Just bored ya know?" He nods his head and smiles. He notices a black and white board sitting atop my plain table. It's adorned with kings and queens and knights and pawns.

"You play chess?" He asks, his attention clearly on my black and white figures.

"Yeah, a hobby of mine. You move your peices to capture the enemy's king. I like it because it clears my mind, it's fun and nobody can beat me. I probably sound pretty stupid eh?" I'm babbling and blushing. Only one other person has this effect on me and he happens to be the man I gave my heart to. So why was Wally making me feel so inferior?

"I bet I can beat you." he smirks. My once crimson face turns into one of determination.

"Try to. I dare you." My voice is demanding and yet it's playful. He nods and sits on the white teams side as I sit across.

"What's the wagers?" He asks.

"Wagers?" I'm confused. Wasn't this supposed to be fun?

"Yeah, wagers. If I win I want you to..." he fades off and thinks. "To go outside of the ship!"

"Ok, If I win you have to eat Titans dog food." I was never good at things like this. He nods and moves his pawn forward. I move mine and after two turns capture on of his own pawns.

1 hour later...

"Checkmate!" He declares. I sigh and my king falls with the rest of his loyal army. He looks so triumphant right now. with that smirky grin, his freckles dancing on his face, and those blue orbs happily gazing at me in victory while his hair is flopping in front of them. I resisted the urge to move it out of them.

Wait..What am I saying? I have Brendon. I will always have Brendon. Why is Wally doing this to me? Wally is just Wally and that's it! I love Brendon with all my heart. I love his black hair with the blond streak. I love his passion for music and me and I love his blue eyes.

Blue? Brendon's eyes are purple...I think.

"Ok,Ok, You win." I mumble and make my way to the door.

"Wait! You're not REALLY going to go out there are you?" I nod and he looks frightful.

"It was just a joke, a gag, don't really go out there." His voice is pleading as are his clurean eyes and I sigh.

"Ok then, what do you want me to do?" My voice is slightly irratated, mainly because I wanted to get off the ship.

"Be my friend." He looks into my sapphire eyes and a ghost of a smile is on my face.

"I'd like that alot." He returns my smile and hugs me tightly. He quickly realises me and heads towards the door.

"C'mon it's dinner time!" He laughs as do I. And we make our way to the dining room.


"How much longer, captain Grayson?" I salute my dad who's currently at the wheel. He gives me a Richard Grayson lopsided smile.

"About one more day. Are you sure you can do this?" I nod my head. He looks concerned and I wonder if I'm really ready for this or not.

"I'm just worried. You're my only kid and Blackfire's a bloodthirsty criminal dictator now. My paternal instincts are just kicking in." I smile a smile that doesn't reach my masked eyes.

"I can do this I'm sure of it." But, I wasn't telling the truth. I'm more afraid now then before.

"I know you can." He gives me some reasurance. But this sense that I'm over my head keeps getting bigger.

"Besides, no matter what, I'll have you guys in the end." He looks away and I'm starting to get the vibe that I'm on my own.

"Yeah...You have us." It was a murmer but I heard the doubt in his voice.

I'm in way over my head.
