So I'm currently having some family issues right now, but that won't stop me from writing this. I honestly have no idea why I'm fueled to write this while I'm rejecting my other stories. Sigh... Oh well. I would like to thank JP-Rider (one of my favorite authors) and TheFoolOnMelancholyHill for their continued support. You guys are awesome!
Now with that being said, on with the story!
Kole opened her eyes slowly. She sat up, yawning, and observed her surroundings. She was in Starfire's room. Kole raised an eyebrow, confused. Then she remembered. While most of the Honorary Titans stayed in hotels, a few had stayed at Titans Tower, Kole included. She felt something rubbing against her leg, and she looked down, seeing it was a worm-like creature. Kole smiled, and picked it up. She playfully scratched under its chin, and noticed how it actually seemed to purr. Kole giggled as she tried to remember its name. 'Silkie. That's it.' Kole thought, remembering.
Kole smiled softly at Silkie, before putting him down. She crawled out from her sleeping bag. She stretched, and gathering up her clothes, she left to take a shower. She took off her undergarments as she reached the shower. She turned on the water, feeling the temperature. When she got it to the right temperature, she entered. As she let the water run down her, she began to think. Did Beast Boy actually think they would win? Kole wasn't so sure herself. Could they actually pull it off? It would be nice if they could, but Kole had long ago learned that you can't always get what you want.
Kole sighed as she grabbed the shampoo. As she lathered (am I using it right?) the shampoo in her hair, her mind drifted off to her past. She remembered how her father, Professor Abel Weathers had been paranoid about a nuclear holocaust. How he tried to find a way to help humanity find a way to live. How he used his own daughter as a... Kole looked at her hand as she turned it into crystal. She sniffed, and shook her head. She didn't want to think about it. Finishing her shower, she stepped out, and wrapped a towel around herself. She dried herself off quickly, and put on her usual blouse and skirt.
Walking through the halls Kole kept her eyes down. However, that meant bumping into someone. She fell to the ground as someone landed on top of her. Kole rubbed her head, which is what she landed on first. She looked up at the person who fell on top of her. Her eyes widened when she saw it was Jericho. The mute's face was only inches from hers. His eyes were wide as he stared down at her. Kole's eyes drifted downward as she saw two things. She instantly blushed.
"Um...Jericho," she squeaked. "Can you please let go?"
Jericho then noticed that his hand was on Kole's breast, and his little friend had decided to wake up. Jericho's face turned as red as a tomato. He jumped off of Kole, and quickly signed an apology. He then ran off, trying to escape the scene. Kole stood up slowly, still blushing. She looked visibly shaken. She quickly hurried off to the common room.
When she reached the common room the smell of pancakes filled her nose. Mouth watering slightly, she walked towards the kitchen. She entered it, looking for the source of the heavenly smell. She quickly saw Beast Boy sitting at the table, talking to two other men. Kole looked at the two unfamiliar heroes. The first was also sitting at the table. He wore a uniform similar to Beast Boy's, and he was covered in bandages, obscuring his face. He looked sort of like a mummy. The second was an orange robot, wearing shorts with the same color scheme as the other two. He was currently tending to the pancakes.
Beast Boy noticed Kole, and he grinned. "Hey Kole," he greeted. "Come sit down. I want you to meet some people."
"Some people indeed." The mummy-man said in an almost emotionless voice, but with a hint of laughter. Kole walked towards the group, sitting herself at the seat across from Beast Boy.
"These are my uncles," Beast Boy said, gesturing toward the others. He pointed at the mummy. "This is Negative Man." He pointed at the robot. "And that's Robotman."
Negative Man stuck out his hand. "You can just call me Larry, and him Cliff." Kole shook his hand, smiling sweetly.
"Nice to meet you," she beamed. "My name is Kole." Cliff observed the scene, a smirk on his face. (Is that even possible?) He turned to Beast Boy, handing him a plate of pancakes.
"You hold on to this one, squirt," he teased, loud enough for Kole to hear. "She's a keeper."
Beast Boy's face turned red as he began to sputter. "It's not like that!" He cried out. Kole was also blushing. She looked away, embarrassed. Cliff Chuckled. He patted Beast Boy on the back.
"I'm just messing with ya, squirt." Then he went back to serving pancakes.
...
After breakfast Beast Boy and Kole went up to the roof to train. Kole lashed out with a kick as she spoke. "I didn't know you had superhero uncles." Beast Boy ducked. He swiped with his claws, but Kole grabbed his hand, and jumped up, giving him a scissor kick to the face. Beast Boy fell to the ground as Kole landed gracefully.
"Well, they're actually my adopted uncles." Beast Boy said as he stood up. They continued with their sparring.
"You're adopted?" Kole asked. Beast Boy nodded. "So you never knew your parents?"
Beast Boy stopped the spar. "My parents are dead." He murmured, looking down. Kole's eyes widened.
"I'm sorry," she apologized. "I shouldn't have asked such a personal question." Beast Boy shook his head.
"Don't worry about it," he told her. Then he smiled. "So you want to try some combos now?" He asked. Kole's head immediately perked up. She nodded, and the two grinned at one another. "Alright. I thought of this one last night." He said.
They spent a good number of hours training, and they finally decided to go inside. They walked into the common room, and saw that everyone was socializing. Cyborg looked at the two. "Yo, BB," he called out. "Where were you?" Then he saw Kole standing next to him. Cyborg's eye glinted with mischief. "Oh I see," he teased. "Hanging out with your girlfriend." He emphasized the word "Girlfriend."
Beast Boy's eye twitched. "She's not my girlfriend!" He yelled, pointing a finger at Kole. "She's just my partner and nothing more!" Beast Boy's yelling caught everyone's attention. Meanwhile Kole stared blankly at Beast Boy.
"Just partners?" She muttered. "We're not friends?" Beast Boy immediately realized what he said. He turned around and looked at Kole.
"Kole, I didn't mean it like-" Beast Boy felt everyone's glares on his back. But before he could say anthing else, the alarm rang. Robin ran to Beast Boy, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"No time, Beast Boy," he said. "We have work to do." Beast Boy nodded, and he and the other titans ran off, leaving the Kole and the others behind.
Poor Beast Boy, poor Kole, poor Jericho! Can Beast Boy ever regain Kole's friendship again? Sorry it's short, but it's somewhat a filler chapter. Not much plot behind it. Hope you enjoyed it. Don't forget to review! And remember, stay wykkyd!
