I walked down the hallway towards the traning room. I couldn't wait to dance in a room with actual hard wood floors, instead of the concrete of the subway station Ivory and I would sometimes sleep in.
I turned on the music from the radio I kept with me, and "Ladies and Gentelmen" by Saliva came on.
Ladies and gentlemen please
Would you bring your attention to me?
For a feast for your eyes to see
An explosion of catastrophe
As it started a smile came on my face, this was my favorite song; I thought of it as my own personal theme song. It reminded me of the good times when I worked in the circus, before that crazy guy came in and tried to take my powers...but right now im not gonna think about that. Right now im gonna dance.
Like nothing you've ever seen before
Watch closely as I open the door
Your jaws will be on the floor
After this you'll be begging for more
I start off slow, getting a feel for the music, streaching out my tired muscles, then I started going faster, building momentium.
Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and Gentelmen
I was spinning, swaying my hips, dipping.
Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and Gentelmen
Then I went in to my acrobatics and took off doing flips, back flips, back handsprings.
Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and Gentelmen
Everytime he said Boom little bits of fire would spark from my finger tips, but I didnt care, I knew it couldn't do anything, because as long as I was dancing, I was in total control.
Ladies and gentelmen good evening
You've seen and seeing is believeing
Your ears and eyes will be bleeding
Please check to see if your still breathing
I remembered I frist preformed at the circus, I must have been six or seven. I started going, and people thought that I was faking it. That the fire I was breathing was fake, that the sparks that flew from my finger tips were just their eyes playing tricks on them, well they've seen and seeing is believeing.
Hold on tight cause the show is not over
If you will please move in closer
Your about to be bowled over
By the wonders you're about to behold here
I was so into my dance, I failed to notice someone sneak into the room. Standing in the corner watching me dance.
Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and Gentelmen
Thats when i noticed the slight movement in the corner of the room. So I decided to give them a little show.
Boom
Do you want it?
I started swaying my hips slower, but still in beat with the music.
Boom
Do you need it?
I did a back hand spring which resulted in me landing in a split.
Boom
Let me Hear it.
I started getting up swaying my hips again, this time walking towards the shadow in the corner.
Ladies and Gentelmen
I ended my dance, by flipping and landing in a split infront of the shadow.
"Did you enjoy the show?" I asked the shadow
"Uhh...it was...umm..." was the only thing the shadow could say
I giggled, "yeah I think it could use some work," I said making a face, "this was not one of my best."
"Not one of your best?" Said the shadow
"Flickr that was...amazing," Beast Boy said coming out of the shadows.
"You really think so?" I asked, amazed, no one really commented on my dancing. The only other person that did was the crazy circus guy, and he only said that her dancing sucked and to just give up on it.
Beast Boy looked right into my eyes and said, "Yes, that had to have been the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and I really mean that."
I was never used to someone being so nice to me, it was kind of overwhelming.
"Okay the, wanna see another dance?" I asked
"Yeah let me just get comfortable." He said while walking over to the benchpress and sitting on it.
I looked through my iPod for a good song till I found "Animal I have Become" by Three Days Grace. It was another of my favorites, and when it started to play I could tell it was one of Beast Boy's favorites also.
I was dancing like crazy, then I looked over at Beast Boy, and he wasnt siting where he was before, and i stoppped and looked around for him. Then a pair of arms snaked around my waist and thier hips swayed along with mine.
I turned and looked and saw it was Beast Boy, I smilled and turned around. I put my arms around his neck and he put his hands on my waist.
"So tell me about yourself, I know nothing about you," Beast Boy said
"I could say the same about you," I said as he spun me.
"Okay I'll tell you if you tell me," he said pulling me close.
"Okay deal," I said, "well my real name is Phoebe Roman. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, but I'm of Cuban nationality. My parents are both Cuban, and most of my relitives are still living there, even though everyone else moved to the US. I was techinacally born with my powers, but I didn't discover them untill I was six. I was walking home from school, and this boy started making fun of me and my sister, who had by then already died of cancer, and he was making fun of my parents. I got so mad that my powers went crazy and...I burnt him...to a crisp.
"Then I ran home and my parents were watching the news and they were talking about the kid I killed. I tried explaining to them what happpened, but they were freaking out and they were scared, which made me scared and made my powers lose control again, and...I killed them also..." I said a tear rolling down my cheek.
Beast Boy pulled me into a hug, and we just stood there hugging and lightly swaying to the music. He pulled away and wiped the tears from my eyes, "Don't worry Flickr, it's okay."
I nodded and sniffled. "Thanks Beast Boy."
"You can call me Gar, considering thats me real name."
"Okay Gar, than call me Pheebs, cause thats my nickname," I said
"So Pheebs, I was born In the US, but grew up in Africa. My Parents were gentetic scientists. One day I was playing outside and I was been bitten by a green monkey. Turns out the monkey had a disease called Sakutia, which is fatal to humans. So my parents gave me experimental ray treatment, which gave me animal DNA. The side effects were turning green, and being able to turn into animals.
"My parents died a few years later in a boating accident. My mom told me to turn into a bird and to fly away. I still feel like it was my fault..." he said his voice cracked.
"Gar, its not your fault, you didnt know how to change into bigger animals yet, its not you fault," I said giving him a hug.
"Okay so, anyway, i was then adopted by the Doom Patrol, but then I ran away, and found the Titans, and here i am now."
"Wow," I said then looked at the clock, it read 7:15, "Come on lets go down stairs and eat breakfast."
"Okay," he said as I pulled away, but he still held onto my hand, and thats how we walked all the way downstairs.
