Author's Notes: Sorry everyone for not updating in a while. Like I said before, I'm back in school, so I can't always update as often as I would like. I was requesting to try different POV's, rather than just Nightstar's and Sparrow's, so I thought I would give it a try! For the next couple chapter's, including this one, I will have different storylines going on. This way you can get an idea of other character personalities. You may also notice that I tend to shy away from action scenes. This is because I simply don't know how to write them. I've never really written anything with action (ex. fighting scenes) and therefore I would appreciate any advice for future knowledge on how to write well-written battle scenes. Also, does anyone know why I can no longer see my story's traffic graph? For views it says N/A. If any of you more experienced writers know, please let me know. Thank you! As always, please R&R and follow/favorite too! ;) Enjoy!

Nightstar VS Sparrow Ch. 11 Day 2

Nightstar POV:

"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!" I was rudely awakened to the sound of the mission alert tower alarm. "Ugh!" I groaned as I slowly sat up in my bed. I picked up my communicator to check the time. 7:27am flashed in red and I let out another annoyed groan. "Why do crimes always happen either super early or super late? Can't they get their butt kicked at a decent hour?" I mentally complained. I quickly got out of bed and dressed myself. Once I was ready I met the rest of my team in the main room. I was used to being the first one there, but this time I was surprised to see six bodies already in the room. My father was already at the mission control table, checking for the crime in question. "Um, what are you guys doing?" I questioned. All the gathered Titans spun around to face me. They looked like deer in the head lights.

"What took you so long, Mari? And where's your team? If this is the reaction you all give when faced with potential danger, then – "

"We're fine Dad." I interrupted him. I quit frankly was not in the mood for one of his famous rants on how "irresponsible we are" or how "back when he was a Teen Titan…bla, bla, bla." I moved in between my mother and father, and scanned the screen below. The rest of my team made their way in and replaced the adult Titans around the touch-screen table.

"Who the heck is breaking the law at seven in the morning?" Sparrow complained. She looked more tired than anyone else.

"Looks like it's… Dr. Light." I said. I heard a chorus of groans come from my team and I couldn't blame them. Waking up this early just to fight a low-grade villain was enough to irritate anyone. "Alright team, I know it's early, but let's go ahead and get this out of the way." The team silently agreed and we all started to pile in the elevator that would lead us to our version of a T-Car.

"Go get'em little dudes! Call us if ya need us!" Mr. Logan told us as we started to exit the room.

Sparrow POV:

"Concentrate, Maria. Deep breaths." Mother said for what seemed like the billionth time.

"I'm trying Mother! If I concentrate any harder, this stupid mirror will explode!" I snapped at her. We were in Mark's room since it tends to be the quietest. Mom and I were floating side-by-side over the spare bed in his room. In my hands was my magic mirror. After my team's fight with Dr. Light, Mom wanted me to start practicing using the mediation mirror. Of course it had to be as soon as we got home, when everyone else was enjoying a leisurely breakfast and playing another round of video games. Only my mother would think of a way to combine punishment with training.

"Maria, this is important. You shouldn't be so concerned with what the others are doing. You need to be completely focused on the task at hand."

"You sound like Mark." I grumbled.

"Well you sound like your father." She retorted.

"What's so bad about that?" I asked. She gave me her famous glare.

"As much as I love your father, he can be a bit… irresponsible. Much like you are at times, but even he had to learn some self-discipline. I'll tell you what I've told every young hero I've helped train, if Gar can do it, you can do it too."

"humph, whatever."

*Sigh* "Alright Maria, try again. Remember, you need to focus on the mirror. Look inside yourself and picture your mind being emptied inside the mirror. Don't think about anything else."

I decided to take my mother's advice, and imagined what my netherworld would look like. Mom has described her mind before, so I tried to think of that. I pictured a stone pathway, with special portals that opened into different realms that represented my different emotions. Though, I've never actually seen my emoticlones, I can hear them and I've always imagined what they would look like. Once I had the image of my mind I imagined it being sucked into the mirror. After a few deep breaths and as much concentration as I could muster, I felt my mind empty of all thoughts. Then, I felt something grab me and drag me into my mirror. "Aaah!" I screamed as I fell through the portal and landed with a thud onto hard, cold stone. I slowly pushed myself up off the ground and held my head, trying to stop the pounding. "Ugh. What the heck, Mother? I would appreciate a little warning next time." I looked around for her, but all I could see was the stone walkway I imagined just moments ago. "Mom!" I called for her, but again received no reply. That's when I realized that I was in my mirror – and without my mother. I stood up and scanned the area. "Well now what?" I wondered out loud. I remembered what Mom and Dad told me about being in Nethermoor. They said that if I just follow the path, it will lead me to my emoticlones. So that's exactly what I did.

As I passed through another portal, I entered a woodland landscape. The environment looked familiar with the Jump City Park Mom and Dad used to take Mark and me to when we were little. Visiting the local parks was always my favorite thing to do when I was younger. Mom and Dad had to travel around the world and visit the other Titan Towers, since Dad was in charge of recruiting and training new Titans. Mom didn't trust anyone to take of us and Dad wanted us to "experience different cultures and meet new people," so consequently we would always go where ever they went. I always enjoined traveling and meeting other heroes and in some cases, their children, but my favorite thing to do was to go see the local park. Dad and I would change into random animals and run (or sometimes fly) around the park, while Mom would read with Mark on one of the park benches or under a shady tree. It was the only time I could just let go and have fun without worrying if I'd do something wrong.

As I looked around, I noticed a small, green rabbit hopping towards me. As it got closer, I knelt down on one knee and reached out to try and pet it. "Hey there little one, aren't you just the cutest thing every!" I said, excitement bubbling out of me. I loved animals, especially cute furry one's! As soon as the words left my mouth, the bunny quickly changed into a teenage girl, who happened to look like a copy of myself, except for the pink suit she wore. I jumped backed and let out a small scream, surprise evident on my face.

"Aww! What a nice thing to say, Me!" My doppelganger said. She had a huge toothy grin plastered to her face.

"Who the heck are you, and why do you look like me?" I nearly shouted at her. She started to giggle before answering my questions.

"You're so silly, Me! You know who I am!" She stated. I just stared at her, searching my brain for an answer as to who this look-a-like was. Then it hit me!

"You're an emoticlone!" I exclaimed.

"You bet! Happy at your service, Ma' am!" Happy said and did a fake salute.

"Oh, so you're the famous Happy I hear all the time in my head!"

"The one and only!"

"Wow! This is so cool! Tell me though, what's with the wooded park?"

"Well, your happiest memories came from the visits to the different parks, therefore my realm resembles a park." I nod in understanding.

"Ok, that makes sense. So how do I get out of here?"

"Out of my realm or your mind?"

"My mind."

"Well the answer to both is to go straight through my realm! You'll need to cross several realms to reach Knowledge. Only she knows the way out."

"Alrightee then, lead the way, Happy." Happy squealed in excitement. She quickly turned back into a rabbit and hopped as fast as she could through the woods. "Hey, wait up!" I called after her. I too changed into a rabbit and chanced after her.

Darkstar POV:

After our successful fight against Dr. Light, I wanted to start a rematch with Sparrow. She beat everyone at last night's family video game show down. She was the best gamer in the Tower, and maybe even the world, but every now and then I'm able to beat her. So I was disappointed when Sparrow's mom made her go mediate. I knew it was probably for the best, but now I wasn't really in the mood to play video games. Nightstar must have noticed my disappointment as Mrs. Logan lead Sparrow down the hall to Mark's room, because she invited me to spar with her. Usually, Nightstar prefers to train alone, but sometimes she'll invite me to join her. When we arrived in the gym, we wasted no time getting into our fighting stances and began sparring. I enjoyed training alone with my sister. It gave us time to vent to each other whenever we needed to, or just to talk about anything going on in the world. We were also pretty equal in our fighting abilities, so I didn't need to hold back my tamerian strength and neither did she. As we sparred, she decided to start off the conversation.

"So, Darkstar, what's going on with you and Sparrow?" She teased. The question caught me off guard and she was able knock me down on the mat.

"Cheap shot, Sis." I complained as I got back up on my feet. She just shrugged.

"Hey, you shouldn't have dropped your guard. Now answer the question."

"What question?"

"Quit stalling and answer my question. What's up with you and Sparrow?"

"Nothing's up. I've told you before, were just good friends."

"Right, and I'm just an average teenage girl with no brains."

"Hey, you said it not me!" This remark earned me a very hard punch in the gut. "Ok, jeez, I was just kidding." I managed to say once I got the air back in my lungs.

"Well you're not funny."

"Ouch, that's harsh Sis, even for you."

"Oh! Just get on with it! I want to know what's going on between you two."

"Well, I don't go begging you to explain your relationship with a certain speedster." This time I caught her off guard and was able to trip her off her feet. She landed face down on the mat and it took her a moment to register what had just happened. When she got up, her face was flushed, but I could tell she was angry about making the same mistake I had made not too long ago.

"I…I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, really? You don't remember Dash West? Son of the famous Kid Flash and Jinx? Leader of Teen Titans East? Did I just imagine your 10 year crush on the first 2nd generation Titan?" At this point we had stopped sparring. Nightstar's face turned red with both embarrassment and irritation.

"You know what just forget I said anything." She said and made her way to the weights. "Bet you I can lift more than you!" She challenged.

"Oh, it is on like Donkey Kong!"
