(Don't, unfortunately, know much about this sport. But hey, I'll give it my best shot.)

Angel retied her tennis shoes. "Need help with your harness, young lady?" The attendant asked. Angel shook her head no. "I'm fine, I've done this before.

She clipped the harness around her and grinned at the challenge.

A rock climbing wall.

Angel's holo-ring had strangely malfunctioned so she couldn't wear it, but she sucked it up and shrunk her wings extra small. It wouldn't cover her golden eyes, but it would work. She had chosen to wear a light blue t-shirt and cargo jean capri pants.

She rubbed some chalk on her hands and started limbering up. "Careful, girl." Someone called. "I've done this before, dude. I know what I'm doing." Angel called back.

She completed it on easy and went to the next one.

She was half way up that one when she nearly bumped right into someone else.

Her opponent may have been in civilian clothes (black jeans and a dark purple sleeveless shirt), but it was impossible not to recognize the purple hair and eyes, gray skin, and red gem in forehead.

Raven.

Angel's eyes went huge and cursed under her breath. This wouldn't end well if Raven recognized her.

Unfortunately, she did.

Raven's eyes narrowed. "Angel... is that you?" She asked. Angel blushed and said, "Uh... depends if your Raven." Raven blew some bangs out of her eyes. "Yeah. Its me." Angel laughed nervously. "Then its me."

Raven remained quiet for a couple seconds, then continued climbing up. Angel followed. "So, you rock climb too?" Angel said, trying to make a rather awkward situation less so. Raven nodded. "Robin gives us the option to take an extra sport, and pushes it, actually. The guys prefer football or basketball, and Starfire is teaching Melvin ballet. I decided to go for a more... challenging sport."

Angel chuckled. " I just needed to get out of the base. Gets too crowded." "... it wouldn't have anything to do with Kyd Wykkyd being in jail, would it?" Angel glared and said, "Hey!" Raven looked back, and Angel could've sworn she was smirking. She probably was.

Raven hopped rocks, and Angel thought of something. "Hey, are you using your powers?" She asked. "No. I don't need to." Raven responded, taking a couple seconds to take her next move. Angel nodded and hopped, almost slipping. Raven caught her and pulled her up.

Angel blinked in surprise. Despite Raven's small frame, she was rather strong. "Thanks." She said. "No problem. I'm off duty, and you aren't exactly causing trouble."

Angel nodded and said, "Alright. And by the way, Kyd is out of jail. He's just been quiet lately." Raven chuckled. "He IS a mute." Angel glared and said, "Hey! Its not that, he's just been considering something, and whenever that happens, he signs less and meditates more." "Oh."

They both reached the top at about the same time. Raven glanced over at Angel with a thoughtful expression. "Hey, Angel... you and him are pretty close now, huh?" She said softly. Angel nodded with a smile. "Yup, its pretty serious."

Raven nodded. Then her smirk got mischief. "Can you climb the hard wall?" Angel thought for a second. "Yeah, did it once before. Why?" "Race you on that one. No powers. I win, I'm dragging you to jail. You win, you walk for today." Angel grinned. "Your on, but I'm the HIVE queen of rock climbing." "Technically speaking, you are the only HIVE girl."

Both girls went down.

Kyd Wykkyd grinned as he pocketed the prize. Hopefully, he would find the right time to present it to Angel.

(Angel and Raven tend to talk a lot... but hey, its a good plot point. I was drawing a blank for this one.

What did Kyd get for Angel? You'll find out... on the 99th oneshot.

Bye byes, remember to review!)
