The loud clang of metal pots falling to the floor filled the kitchen.
Megan cringed. "Sorry."
Katie sighed. "It's okay." She bent down and started to help pick up the fallen pots with Megan. She glanced out of the corner of her eye at Kid Flash and Robin talking at the other end of the room. "You know, Megan," Katie raised her voice so that the two boys would be sure to hear her. "It sure would be nice if some people could stop talking for five minutes and help their teammates out."
They ignored her.
"I'll help." Kaldur walked in from the living room and bent down to help pick up the pots.
"Thanks, Kaldur." Megan said.
"Yeah," Katie raised her voice again. "It's nice to know that at least one guy on this team still has manners."
They still ignored her.
Katie made a very inappropriate gesture towards them. "Seriously though, Kaldur, thanks." She said at a normal volume as they put the last pot back where it belonged.
"It's no problem." He replied. "Would you like some help making dinner?"
Megan nodded enthusiastically. "Oh, yes! I'd love all the help I can get!"
Katie laughed at her friends eagerness. "She's been wanting to try out a new recipe she saw on her cooking show this morning."
Kaldur smiled softly. "Just tell me what you need me to do."
Megan immediately set to work giving them each a job to do. She then moved to the refrigerator and started grabbing ingredients. Kaldur went to grab some cooking utensils and Katie moved to a cupboard to grab a mixing bowl. As she reached up to grab it, her jacket sleeve fell down her arm slightly, exposing a white jagged scar along her wrist.
Megan gasped and dropped the eggs she was holding. "Katie, what's that on your wrist?"
Katie frantically pulled down her sleeve. "It's nothing."
"That didn't look like nothing." Kaldur protested as he moved to Katie. "What happened?"
"I said it was nothing!" Katie yelled. "Now both of you just drop it!"
Everything became deadly silent. Everyone was staring at Katie. Even Superboy looked away from the blue tv screen to see what was going on.
"I..." Katie paused for a moment. "I'm just gonna go...and...check on something."
Katie ran past her confused teammates down towards her room. She didn't stop running until the door was closed and locked behind her. She slid down the door and pulled her knees to her chest. She couldn't let them find out what had happened to her. She just couldn't.
A/N: Don't worry...you'll find out Katie's backstory soon enough. I have the whole scene written out I just have to find the right time to squeeze it in. And I also re-wrote the first chapter of this story (the prologue) to fit her backstory better and because I didn't like the other one very much. So review please!
