Iridescent Chapter 5 - Wanna Tussel?, a teen titans fanfic

The sun parched grass on the edge of the wood sways in the gentle hot breeze. Sunlight glints between the gnarled chestnuts, casting brightened patches on the shadowed edge of the field. Me and my family stand in the middle of the grassy field in a large, spread out circle.

"Within the past few years, each of us has greatly gotten better at using our powers. But to grow as a team we must know each others strengths and weaknesses." I shout over the sound of the wind. "This competition is a free for all. Last omega standing wins. Begin!"

I light up my hands and center my weight.

Faster than a synapse Tyler sprints around the circle and pushes Alex and Holly to the ground.

"Dude! What the heck!" shouts Alex.

"Hey, you heard Hanna. It's a free for all. Every kid for themselves." He shouts back.

I watch Tyler's blurred figure as it speeds towards me. I wait patiently for the right moment and when it presents itself I thrust a ball of pure light directly at Tyler. The attack catches my friend directly in the stomach; stopping him dead in his tracks. His eyes bulge the breath is knocked out of his lungs. The ball of light dissipates and Tyler falls to his knees holding his stomach.

"Nice one Hanna." he wheezes.

The sound of a grunt and a blast catches my attention. I turn around just in time to dodge a stray bolt of lightning. Jayden battles with Madison who shields herself from Jaydens constant assaults. Madisons invisible force fields turn an electric blue when struck by the bolts of electricity.

It's the opportune moment. With my two friends buddy fighting each other, I create two bolas and swing them at my friends. They never even saw it coming. Before they could react the weights on the ends of interconnected cords wrap around their biceps and torsos and pull them to to the ground. They struggle against their restraints and look up at me.

"Aww man!" the two girls exclaime at the same time.

"Distraction. Misdirection. Powerfully weapons in a ninjas arsenal."

I gasp and spin around. Danny stand not three feet away. I gasp as he pulses and knocks me off my feet. I flip head over heals and land heavily on my back. Ugggh.
I sit up and raise my hands above my head in defeat. "I'm out."
Danny smiles and lends me a hand.

"Thanks."

"Welcome."

"Hey, Danny."

"Ya?"

I point over his shoulder.

"You got company."

Danny spins around and faces Logan. Flames dance around his hands and tint his face crimson red. His jet black hair and midnight shirt are soaked from sweat.

Logan jumps from one foot to another. "Looks like you've leveled up to the boss fight."

Danny frowns; his golden eyes shine brilliantly. "Discretion is the greater part of valor."

Logan growls "Whatever." He then launches himself at Danny and throws a punch. Danny calmly sidesteps his attack.

Danny shoots several blurry force waves from his palms. With minor difficulty Logan goes on defense and dodges out of the way. Logan deflects the attacks with a shield of flames as Danny applies pressure and refuses to give up.

Logan retreats and runs around the base of a great chestnut tree. Danny follows but then stop. Quickly he changes directions and attacks Logan with a swift flying kick to Logan's chin as he rounds the opposite side of the tree.

Logan's head snaps backwards from impact and he lands belly down.

"Well! Danny won it this time!" I announce from the sidelines.

Danny turns and faces us he beams with pride. His messy long blond hair falls past his shoulders and gets in his face.

I look past Danny and see Logan grabbing the grass with white knuckles. He growls viciously.

"Uho. Dannie's awoken the beast." comments alex behind me.

Suddenly, out of nowhere Logan jumps up off of the ground and charges Danny. I shout but it's to late. Logan grabs Danny's bicep, pulls him around, and delivers a deliberate blow to the chest with his elbow. Unfinished, Logan then swings around and side weeps Danny's legs out from underneath him. "Uggh." Danny gasps and collapse. He lyes face down and does not make any attempts to move.

We run to his side.

"Logan! What are you doing!" shouts Alex.

"I...I didn't mean to hurt him. It was an accident. Seriously."

Danny groans and Holly help him as he tries to sit upright. He seems relatively unharmed.

"Did up you guys get the number of that buss?" he wheezes.

Holly rubs the back of Dannie's back and makes soft soothing noises. Out of everyone I've known in my life Holly is by far, the sweetest of them all. And despite being a weak fighter, what she lacks in fighting skills she makes up for in nurturing.

I jump up off of my knees.

"We have spoken about this time and again Logan! Anger is a dangerous alley, it clouds your judgment. You need to control it."

"But Hanna, I wasn't angry. I was just ... determined to win."

I give Logan one of my famous disbelieving stares.

"WHAT I SAID I WASN'T ANGERY!" he shouts. Flames shoot out his palms and burn a small section of the once green grass.

Logan towers over me. I forgot how tall he is. Intimidating. I stand my ground. Though I know he's a good kid, I also know that his short temper sometimes gets the best of him.

This is one of those times.

Logan growls and throws his hands up in the air. He spins around and storms off. Alex starts after him but I hold my arm.

"Shouldn't I follow him?"

"Let him cool off."

Tyler and Madison drape Dannie's arms around their necks and pull him to his feet. He winces slightly but tries not to let it show.

I place a hand on Dannie's chest and push a small orb of light into his abdomen. Danny arches his back and smiles.

"Thanks."

I ruffle Dannie's hair. "Don't mention it."

"Yo guys, check this out!" shout Jayden several yards away.

I walk over and find Jayden holding a long thin green object in the palms of her two hands for us to see.

"Its an arrow." she states.

"An arrow?"

"That's what I just said."

"We should stand in a circle and shoot it up into the air." Logan walks up to us and clasps Danny on the shoulder.

"Hey man, sorry about earlier. Are you ok?"

Danny shrugs his shoulders and smiles. "Ehhh. Its ok. You hit like a girl."

"A GIRL!" shouts Logan. "Why you little," Logan pulls Danny into a head lock and ruffles his hair. Danny laughs and grabs ahold Logan's waist. Together, they fall over into the grass where they continue to wrestle.
