Emma: Well, the plot thickens with this new "3 strikes yer out" rule! I'm gonna have major fun with Happy and Bravery's test! So, we don't own anything, enjoy!
Chapter 7: Happy to Be Brave?
"I will never read another book, as long as I live," Bohusk said as he lay across a large couch in the Central Thoughts Hall. His head was in Falcon's lap as she wrote in her journal. The little black book seemed like a permanent presence in now a days and Bohusk plucked it from her grasp to read what she had been writing." Ugh, forget it, my brain hurts too much to be nosy about yer writing…"
"You should be ready for Bravery and Happy's test then," Falcon said taking her journal back. She absently played with Bohusk's hair as she read over her writing." They aren't gonna make it easy, Bravery has a few tricks up her sleeve and Happy may be perky but she can be tough. Are you even listening to me?"
"Yes," Bohusk said dozing off as Falcon stroked his hair gently." I'm just fucking tired and yer really warm and soft…"
He was asleep in the next moment and Falcon glanced down, smiling as she watched him sleep. She sighed as she let him sleep; silently praying he passed his next test.

Happy giggled as Robin and Bohusk entered her realm, Bravery kicked a few flowers up with her foot and grinned at Robin and Bohusk. Robin tried to sidestep Happy's hug, but she managed to pull both heroes into a bear hug that would make Starfire jealous.
"Yay!" Happy cried jumping
around Bravery." Robbie and Jhonen get to take our test now! This
will be so fun! Unless, you don't pass, then you get banished into
the darkest recess of Falcon's mind and get to burn through the
seven layers of hell, for all eternity!" The two men stared at the
giggling emotion in horror." Doesn't that sound just
terrible?!"
"Um, Happy I think you're scaring our
testers," Bravery chuckled as Happy grinned wider." Okay, here's
the deal, you two; we have a battle, and a test. The rules are
simple, one person has to fight me, while Happy tests the other man;
the battler can also offer answers to any question happy asks, while
fighting me. If you can win the fight and pass the test, you leave
safely; if not, you get to have Happy's other resort…" Both men
shivered at the thought and nodded in acknowledgement." So, who's
the lucky guy to fight me?"
"Bird Boy's fighting," Bohusk said immediately. Robin gave him a curious look." Look, I know Falcon better than anyone, more so with all that damned studying Nessa put us through; and let's face it, you have a better chance of fighting and winning then I do, because I can't hit Nessa or her emotions. So, this is the best way to win and pass, okay?"
"Fine," Robin nodded, giving a scowl at the thought of Bohusk having a better plan then he." Alright, Bravery, I'm read to begin when you- hey! Watch the hair!"
Bravery jumped at Robin and the two began to duel. Happy giggled, watching them for a moment while Bohusk watched her.
"Okay!" Happy said at last." So, first question, what makes Falcon smile every time she sees it?"
"Her friends on the Titans," Bohusk said immediately." She came to Earth alone and scared, trying to find her sister; she found Raven and a new group of friends and she cherishes every moment we share together."
"You're good!" Happy giggled." Okay, what was the last thing to make Falcon laugh?"
"Me," Bohusk said with a sigh," The other day I was sparring with Beast Boy and I fell over the side of the roof, and impaled myself on the big oak tree on the island. I was cursing and pulling splinters outta my stomach for an hour and she just laughed her ass off, because I had tripped and fell."
"Nicely done," Happy said. This banter went back and forth for a few moments as Robin made progress with Bravery, actually pinning her a few times before pinning her one last time and winning the spar." Aw, Robbie won! That means you have to answer my last question right to leave! Okay, why does Falcon act so brave, even when she's scared?"
"Well, there's two answers," Bohusk said folding his arms across his chest," For one thing, she has a big pride issue; she doesn't like others to see her down and out, or helpless. The other side is she doesn't want to worry anyone, because she's so selfless; Nessa wants everyone else happy before she is, and that goes for when she's not perfect too, because then we worry and we aren't happy."
"Jeeze," Bravery scowled," We really need to make tougher tests… These two might actually pass and get out, Happy!"
"Yeah, but that would be a good thing!" Happy giggled." Cause' if they don't pass then Falcon is stuck in this coma forever! Doesn't that seem like fun, Bravery?" The group stared at the perky emotion with matching astonished looks." Well, Rage and Anger are your next test, at dawn! Good luck!"
"Um, yeah," Bohusk said too shocked to deflect the emotion's hug this time. He turned to Bravery as they turned to leave." Is she always this happy? About everything?"
"Unfortunately," Bravery sighed," Yes, she is…" Both men gave her a sympathetic look." We emotions have kinda gotten used to it by now, you'd better get back before Falcon starts to worry."
They hurried out of the realm and out into the hall, where Falcon sat, reading a thick book of Edgar Allen Poe stories and poems. She closed the book and grinned, giving a sigh of relief when se saw both her friends, safe and unharmed.
"You guys passed!" Falcon said with a big grin." Thank goodness, I was so worried, because Bravery wanted to add the spar and everything!"
"Hey, we're big tough men," Bohusk said with a grin as Falcon jumped up to hug his neck," I mean we can take a spar with Bravery!"
"He let you battle her, huh?" Falcon asked Robin who grinned and nodded. Bohusk blushed and grumbled angrily under his breath but grinned when Falcon kissed his cheek." It's fine, I know he can't hit me or my emotions. Just start getting ready for the next test, Rage and Anger won't make it easy…"
