Chapter 12

"A week later"

**

"Crat, where is Nacho?"

"He's upstairs, Hawk!"

Hawk ran upstairs and saw Nacho and Drought running around playing Stankball with Sparrow.

"Guys, you better not break that vase!"

There was a loud crash and Hawk flinched.

"Sorry, Hawk!"

"You better be sorry, Drought! Cause now it's my turn!"

Hawk held up another Stankball and the boys eyes went wide. They ran right past Aristocrat and then she turned her head to see Hawk running with the Stankball in her hands. Seeing this made Crat run right behind the boys. They hid in front of the couch trying to catch their breaths.

Hawk knew where they were, but never told them. She started to look in the kitchen and a smile came onto her face. She could hear the four kids whispering. When will they ever learn? Hawk walked over to the couch and looked down on them. There was a little wind noise, but Hawk didn't pay attention nor did the kids.

"You guys should know not to whisper with these ears of mine."

"I told you, Drought! She could hear you!"

"I heard all of you. Now who shall get 'The Hawk Stankball'? Shall it be Sparrow, Crat, Nacho, or Drought?"

"You should pick Drought."

Sparrow said and then Hawk smiled wickedly at Drought. Drought was scared out of his wits and then Hawk hit…Sparrow in the face. All of the kids besides Sparrow started laughing and at one point they started to have tears in their eyes.

"I see you will be leader of this team, Hawk."

Hawk looked up with wide eyes seeing the East and West Titans looking at her.

"Hi guys. I didn't know you were watching."

"You taught them to play Stankball! That's so cool! But, I thought that you hated Stankball, Hawk!"

The transition was ended and Hawk looked confused. The four kids shrugged their shoulders and then Hawk held a pair of car keys in her hands.

"We're going for a ride."

The kids yelled happily and then Hawk got in the front seat of her car as Crat sat next to her and the three boys were in the back. As they went to Steel City Crat had changed the radio to Cotton Eyed Joe and everyone, but Hawk started jamming to it.

"What's with this song anyways? Did some drunken guy make this song and get famous?"

"We don't know, but it's a great song!"

Hawk rolled her eyes and pulled into the garage of the Titans East and the four kids behind her. She could hear Speedy yelling.

"Who's that guy that's yelling, Hawk?"

"Speedy."

Hawk said and then the main door opened to the main room. Hawk watched amused as Speedy started throwing a fit. Then the four kids behind Hawk started giggling. Nacho took Hawk's hand and she looked down at him.

"Hawk, I got to go."

"You should have gone when we were at the tower."

"I didn't need to go then, but I need to go now."

Hawk looked up at the Titans and then coughed. No one heard her so Hawk motioned for everyone to follow her. The kids followed and just watched the man with the arrows start running around like a two year old with a sugar rush, but he was complaining. When Nacho was done they went to the main room again and then Hawk walked right behind Speedy and the other Titans stopped their talking.

Speedy looked confused and then…Hawk was jumped on by the kids.

"Guys, what are you trying to do? Kill me?"

"Hawk, we got Sparrow mad!"

"Run for your life!"

The three got off of Hawk and Aristocrat pulled Hawk in front of Speedy.

"Hawk?"

"Hello, Speedy, yea they got Sparrow mad. You guys might as well hide. I should never have taught him how to play Stankball."

Speedy turned around and saw Sparrow with a glowing red Stankball in his hands. All of the Titans eyes went wide and everyone hid. That is almost everyone. Hawk and Speedy were out in the open.

"I think we should run now."

Hawk pulled on Speedy's shirt and he followed her as Sparrow ran after them.

"I don't want to do this to you, Sparrow!"

Sparrow said nothing and Hawk growled. She turned around with Speedy behind her and then lifted her hand. Black energy surrounded Sparrow and then he started freaking out.

"Hawk, let Sparrow down!"

Drought, Nacho, and Aristocrat knocked Hawk down causing her to turn and fall into Speedy. Their lips connected and both started blushing like crazy. There were a few whistles and Hawk could hear the four kids behind her shout, 'Gross!'

Hawk and Speedy broke apart and then Aqua Lad, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Cat gave high fives to each other.

"Ok, Dude, that was so not expected."

"I've got to say I enjoyed it."

Speedy smiled and Hawk smacked him in the head. Speedy and the others laughed and then Hawk stood up helping Speedy up. Nacho grabbed Hawk's hand and looked up at her.

"Hawk, why are we even here?"

"Well, the transition was ended all of a sudden so I thought something was wrong."

Hawk said with a shrug. Then Red X appeared and he grabbed Hawk's wrists.

"See you Titans later."

"Let me go!"

Hawk growled and then Red X teleported the two of them away from the Titans.
