"So do I have to call you Batbrat all the time, coz won't that be a bit obvious?" I asked as I followed her through the shopping centre.
"You can call me Ginger. You don't need to know my real name." Really? Just because of her hair.
"So what type of clothes you buying?" A familiar voice said. I looked around to find Garfield. Great. I'm not completely sure whether I'm happy to see him or annoyed at the obvious giveaway that we're not normal.
"And you said I was obvious. He's freakin' green!" Man, could she have said it any louder? People were already looking.
"Personally, I don't mind." I said as I kept walking.
"You're only saying that because you want to screw him." I froze and she walked past snickering.
"I, I, um..." I mumbled uncontrollably, still unable to move.
"Come on, I want to get this over with so I can go to Typo." We followed behind as she lead us to a store which must obviously be where she gets her clothes.
"Um, goth much?" Garfield said looking around. "I don't think she's got the same taste as you."
"You don't think a lot, do you?" I said checking out some of the leather Jackets. Some of these clothes looked pretty cool. "But after this you're taking me to a dress store."
"You and Garfield can do that while I go to Typo." How is that supposed to work when she has the money?
"The Batbrat is trying to ditch you. No one could possibly want to go to a store so much." Maybe scarab was right.
"So who are you meeting?" I watched as her eyes widened behind her glasses for a second.
"No one, I'm just going to Typo okay." She nearly shouted defensively.
"Sure. I bet it's a guy." I said as I piled a few pieces of clothing over my arm.
"Wrong person to bet that with. Last I checked, she wasn't into guys." Wow she's a lesbian. How the heck did I not see that coming.
"I'm not into the person I'm meeting either!" So she is meeting someone!
"It's okay. We won't tell. Who's the girl?" She hesitated for a moment before sighing defeatedly.
"My twin sister. She's hiding from the League of Assassins and her master. We meet up occasionally. Batman knows about it. But we meet at Typo. And I seriously do love Typo so can you hurry it up." Wow, I actually wasn't expecting that.
"Just one last question. Are you attracted to me?" I'm not a lesbian but it'd be cool to know.
"I'm not a lesbian." Damn, that's not interesting. "I'm Bi."
"My theory is she's a lesbian but likes to keep her options open." Garfield whispered to me.
"I can hear you Beast Boy."
After we bought enough clothes we headed to the food court while Ginger went to Typo. Garfield shouted me lunch. Apparently his sister gives him money every week for when he sneaks out.
"So why come with us? Isn't shopping supposed to be dreadful for guys or something?" I asked before taking a sip of my milkshake.
"Maybe I wanted to be with you instead of at the cave." God he's good. I can't stand it. He makes feel all mushy inside. I don't like it.
"You realise we just met yesterday right?" What are you doing, you're gonna screw up everything again. Just shut up Teagan.
"I'm green. Not many chicks like that about a guy. You liked me straight away. I could tell by the big goofy grin you had after we talked for the first time." I looked down at my milkshake trying not to blush. "The whole time we've been here I've been getting nothing but weird looks. I'm use to it but it's nice to have someone who never looks at me like I'm a freak."
"You are kind of freaky. But you're also pretty cute." I leant in to kiss him, only to be interrupted by a crash above us. My armour morphed over me as a heap of glass came shattering down everywhere.
"Well sister dear, guess we were interrupting something." As I looked up I almost gasped.
"Riley, what are you wearing?" He wore a strange suit that was lit up with a weird green fire.
"Riley's gone and soon, you will be." Garfield morphed into a gorilla in front of me, growling fiercely.
"What are you on about Riley?" I asked as my suit got into an offensive mode.
"You are the first host in Project Beetle to work, you are very valuable. My masters want what they paid for." The fire from around him started spreading towards Gar and he morphed into a bird to escape it.
"You think you can get out of it that easy? You can't run from fire." The flames began to shoot up, catching him in the flames.
"No, leave him be. Just take me." the flames disappeared and he fell to the floor, human form, covered in burns.
"Well sister dear, make this quick I have a schedule to keep." He said holding his hand.
"We cannot allow him to capture us. I am equipping you with a sonic gun. It'll stun him long enough to capture him." Right, so at least there's a plan.
"I'm going to free you Riley, but for now I'm sorry." Before he had a chance to react I fired the sonic gun at him and he crumpled to the floor unconscious. I knelt down next to him but as I was about to put a hand on his shoulder he grabbed my wrist roughly. Before I could fight back I felt a sharp pain shoot through me. I'd electrocuted myself before but never at this level.
"Goodnight sis."
