Authors disclaimer: I do not own any of the DC universe characters. Hey everyone sorry for the long update for this story. Ever since I lost my vision from 2022, and at the time Google docs disabling nightmode during 2021. couldn't really get this going again and the method I was using because of my light sensitivity in my eyes...which is still there. Wasn't working out greatly and the method I did I couldn't count how many pages I've done either.
But now that Googledocs brought back dark mode, as well Microsoft edge having a toggle switch for dark mode as well. I can finally get back to updating this story again. Again apologies for not updating this, as I did almost forgot about it- but when I went back to playing DC universe online with my younger brother I remembered this story and felt like updating it.
Now there few things I need to address, 1. Azune will not master her powers right away nor will she be instantly good at hero work and all that jazz. I am more of developing the character and having them grow.
2. She will not be Mary sue- granted, super heroes powers are always OP and such and they keep evolving their powers. But Azune will not be mastering them nor will she be a super genius either, as I find that as OP for a character being gifted and instantly knows how to use their powers.
3. Nobody will bend over knee with her or find her perfect, or opbey every command or be reasoned easily by Azune. I am getting tired of this being used lately in both comics, movies and even games nowadays that has a female lead, they cannot not do anything wrong and is automatically be giving everything in the world to them. Azune will not be like that nor do I like things or stuff that does the Mary sue route.
And lastly, Azune is 18 but still acts like a teenager, and will behave as such at poins and time. The girl will have faults and will be selfish at times, as I don't want her to also be like this perfect hero- but very down to earth character who has her worries, concerns and fear of things. It's why I like heroes like Spider-man, as he can be easily relatable and put yourself in his shoes and still not be this perfect hero slash person. But also having a strong sense of justice too- which Azune will have.
Also I am not going to do crappy story telling where heros are doubting themselves or believe they are the cause or reasoning for why the city or home or whatever the earth is always in trouble because of them. I am sick and tired seeing that in all of Marvel movies as of lately, to even some of the DC movies. I want this story to be fun, enjoyable and straight to the point of what it is trying to write for good story telling. I will probably delve into that territory, but probably more of Azune second guessing herself and question if this is right for her- that sort ofd deal.
So yeah with that out of the way and this story finally getting updated. ALSO, this story much as it is going be tied to DC universe, I am also bringing Teen Titans [2005 animated series] into this as well some of the comedy it has too. So yeah, without further adieu, hope you all have fun and enjoy!

Chapter 3: Adapting and shopping mall brawl!
"My name is Kira Azune, I am 17 years old and tending classes at Junk city university High school, I was captured and taken by a deranged A.I Robot, who is also Superman's greatest foe, Brainiac to one of his hive ships. I was experimented on and was treated like a test subject to the deranged robot. Granted I was mostly asleep for the entire three weeks I was on board the ship- even still, I feel violated and used with how he outright did horrific transmutations on me and altered my Human DNA dress coding, to that of Fox. Red fur adorned my face, sides and entire back all the way down to my legs, while the front part of my body fur is made of snow white coloring, giving it almost a fluffy puff of snow to it. With my hands and feet…or err, paws, being black."
"Green Arrow and Superman saved me from the cruiser and brought me back to , the damages were already done. All the while apparently I have nanobots in my bloodstream and DNA- called Xobites? Apparently an acquaintance of Superman from the future had gone and spread it over the atmosphere of Earth, in order to help them fight back against Brainiac…I guess whatever these things have must be equipped with super powers. But mine right now is currently dormant and hasn't been activated yet. But for now I won't worry about that," The young girl then yelped out of his musings by bumping her head up against a ceiling of a car, causing her to wince one eye closed and rubbing the top of her head, facing forward towards the driver of the car.
"Sorry about that! I am still trying to get used to these road bumps the mall has." Chuckled a male voice and friends of Kira and Mindy. "Anyway, are you excited, Azune? We are finally going to go on that camping trip we've been planning for months." The young man exclaimed, his name is Rohan- a twenty year old friend of Mindy and Kira, he was held back for a bit in school as his learning disability prevented him from finishing school work, or getting things right away. He has wild and crazy red spiky hair, an open zipper vest, brown jacket over top of his long sleeve black shirt that he adjusted with one hand when they hit the speed bump. "Bet you can't wait!"
Mindy smiled as she giggled and adjusted her green highlighted ponytail to the side of her shoulder and spoke up, "Of course she is! She definitely needs this after what she's been through, nobody can resist having a camping trip and relaxing and getting away from all the troubles of the world! Right, Azune."
"You two know I have a first name right?" Azure said while laughing lightly, having her tail wagged slightly through the open hole her mother had made for her blue jeans, as she tugs and pulls down her Yellow and pink sleeve tank top as much she could. "But for the question, I don't know…" She said while looking towards the windows as they were slowly driving into the parking lot and looking for a spot to park. Watching and taking note of many people arriving in different methods and ways with their super powers. Amazed at Green Arrow and Superman's judgment about how everyone would be affected by the Xobite. Even people's whose bodies have completely changed and altered from said Xobites. Though flattened her ears and glared lightly, seeing they were able to change back into their humanoid forms.
Mindy softens her expression seeing how annoyed Azune is getting by watching these people changing back into human, where she herself isn't or won't be able to do so. "Well, Azure just fits ya better Kira- and now that you're a fox, it suits you even more!" Giggled the friend as she faces forward and then sweatdropped with a chuckle as Azune looked at her with a bit of an exasperated expression.
"Well yeah, but Azune is usually related to the color blue Mindy." Then gently pulls down her sleeve and shows her red fur. "I don't exactly have blue fur here." She argued back while raising a brow and then chuckled as her ears tired upward and thumped her tail when Mindy faced her and stuck her tongue out.
"Eh details, details, you just need to relax and not take everything so seriously." Then whips back forward and begins getting excited as they were finally finding a parking spot. "Who knows, it might be your superhero name too." She added and then Rohan laughed and added in the conversation too.
"Or Supervillain or even an Anti-hero too." He added having Azune to stare at the two of her friends as the young man gently puts the car into park and puts on the brakes. "After all, if what the doctor and the heroes said is true? You will probably be having superpowers with that Xobite of yours Azune."
"But you all know I dislike conflict and don't want anything to do with fighting." Azure argued back, "Also, my last name as a Superhero or villain or anti-hero name? You want people to find my house and cause trouble, they can easily look up the name and get my home address easily. Or accidentally cause harm to someone who also shares the name." She argued back as the car parked and watched Rohan setting everything down and putting the car in park. Followed by their seatbelts, "I mean come on- that has to be the worst naming idea ever!"
Mindy was the first to get out of the car as she closed the door and laughed. "Please, I know a couple heroes who literally use their last name or first name as their hero or villain name. You just are overthinking things and being a worrywart."
Azure came out next and closed the door, while glaring at her friend and resting her arms over the car's roof and leaning her chin onto them. "Yeah? Name a few of them that actually use their first or last name?" Azure challenged and then folded her ears and widened her eyes as Mindy raised a finger.
"The Man Martian John uses his first name, Harley Quinn who is a Villain uses her first name, Raven uses her first name, Starfire uses her…well, actually " Mindy then steps away from the car and rubs her chin. "I don't know if Starfire has a name she works off from?" Then shrugs and giggles, "Gizmo uses his name"
"Actually going to have to stop you there Mindy, Gizmo doesn't use his name, that is his villain name. While Starfire does indeed have a name too- however I don't dare try to pronounce it." Rohan said while getting out of the car and then laughed at Azune. "But there you go, good examples of those using their real name."
Azure blinked her eyes and then raised a finger, "I thought Raven wasn't her real name, but her hero name?" Azure asked while swishing her tail left to right, having Mindy and Rohan to pause for a brief moment and then look up in thought. "Anyway..Harley Quinn and John sigh…yeah good examples alright." She then pulls away from the car and then jumps back, from one of the people who were using their powers of Ice to glide and skate towards the large shopping mall that they were heading to. Having her lean forward to be sure nobody else was going to barrel their way into her or her friends and began walking forward, with Rohan and Mindy joining beside her. "But either way, I will say it again. Even if I do get powers, it does not mean I want to become a hero or a villain- I don't like the idea of fighting, nor do I like to get into conflict with anyone." Azune informed her friends while walking backwards and facing them. Being very careful of how she walks, considering she has to use the tips of her paws to walk.
Mindy playfully pouted and whined, "Aww but think how cool it will be when you do get super powers. You could become a hero or whatever you wanted, or even use said powers to help those in need or even for job applications." Mindy said, while then folding her hands behind her head and neck. "Never know, you could do a lot once you get superpowers. Thin be neat," then chuckled. "Can even teach those bullies at school a thing or two."
Then yelps when Rohan lightly bopped the back of her head, "Come on Mindy knock it off. Azure is adamant about not getting into conflicts, let alone starting ones for no reason whatsoever." Rohan said, while shaking his head and softly smiling at Azune. "It's all up to you Azune, it's your choice." He said and then snicker as Azune, who heard Mindy's suggestion about using her potential powers to stop the bullies or teach them a lesson.
"Well…" The girl then turns around and faces forward towards the Mall. "Maybe stopping or teaching the bullies a lesson…might feel good?" Azure muttered softly as she heard her friends laughing softly and began jogging forward and getting ahead of her with the two patting her shoulders.
"Just think it over Azure, now come on! Let's get going before the place gets too crowded with super power people!" Mindy exclaimed and rushed her way towards the automatic doors, with Rohan following right behind her. Azure smiled and happily jogs forward and reaches for the doors, then letting out a grunt and falling onto her front and floor. As her tail got caught in the door- having her to growl irritably and turn her head towards her tail- then sighed as somebody approached the door and let the doors open, even asking if she's alright? That she said yeah, didn't shut too hard on her tail unlike the hospital doors and thanked the people for helping as she gets up and heads inside to catch up with her friends.

Once they were inside and entering one of the many entrances of the mall, the trio went ahead and approach the map board that's in the center of the white marble flooring, decorative walls with some balloons hanging here and there, some old ornaments hanging up on the highest ceilings to even showing the window ceiling as well, with the sunlight beaming down and lighting up most of the mall. Shopping centers all line up next to one another with different offerings and products for sale. Some larger stores having jewelry and accessories, clothing shops and even some camping equipment the trio were looking to buy and purchase.
Water fountains can be heard in front of them and around the map board they were looking at, with Rohan humming and deciding where to go and which shops they should visit for things and supplies they would need for the trip. While Mindy went ahead and skips her way over to some of the smaller stores that were near the entrance they entered from, window shopping and looking through anything of interest. While for Azune, the girl just softly walks on over towards the water fountain and looks into it, seeing many different nickels, quarters and pennies in the fountain where people just have fun and make wishes on these fountains.
Azure sighed inwardly as she saw her reflection looking back at her, making her pink eyes droop slightly and feeling a bit of sadness coursing through her being. Ears twitching up and down with her tail drooping against the floor, twitching ever slightly or jerking about. Her reflection rippled when someone nearby tossed a penny into the fountain, causing it to change and shift into her human form- before it quickly disappeared and reverted back to her fox form. "Stupid robot…people aren't somebody you experiment on like guinea pigs." She growled irritably while shaking her head and turned around to see if her friends were done checking things out.
Then quickly ducks with a yelp as somebody comes soaring into the mall, looking to be out of control and not used to their flying powers and crashes right into the fountain behind her! Making Azune to quickly twirl away from the splashes of water so she wouldn't get wet, sliding across the floor on all fours, panting and breathing rapidly as her eyes slitted but quickly blinked her eyes and then got up and rushed over, "HEY! You alright, you need to watch where you're going!" She called out to the person in the fountain. The person inside chuckles sheepishly and profusely apologizes towards Azune, in which the girl stretched her hand and helped them out laughing when they made a joke about how Superman and Wonderwoman makes it so easy. They then thanked Azune and went on their way, trying hard not to fly, but had to constantly slam their feet down onto the floor when they started floating upwards.
This had Azune giggling slightly and somewhat feeling a little better about herself. But still wished she didn't turn into a fox, once that ordeal was done she turned and saw Mindy and Rohan approaching her quickly, asking if she was okay and wasn't hurt. "Yeah don't worry guys, I am okay. Just…we should be careful." She chuckled out as Rohan nodded and crossed his arms.
"Well long you're okay, I found us a spot to find some gear and equipment for our camping trip." Rohan said and then pointed towards the north-east of the bustling Mall. "It's over on the eastern part of the mall, which will take only about ten minutes. There is also a food court near the store we need to go to. And some clothing shops, and some game and video rental stores too- in case you girls want to check them out, while I go and check out what we can get?"
"Sounds like a plan!" Mindy exclaimed happily, "I mean to return this DVD after all-" She said while grabbing a DVD box from her bag and wags it around. "I forgot to do so three weeks ago, as I was really worried about Azune here." Mindy then turns to Azune who looks at her and then smiles softly, appreciating her friend worrying about her. "What about you Azune? I bet there are a lot of things you want to see, since you know."
Azure thought it over and placed one hand under her muzzle and swished her tail, then smiled. "Yeah sure- I actually do want to catch up with old friends there and the workers there. No doubt they are curious and wondering if I am safe or not."Plus," then sighed. "I also need to get clothes too- much as I would love to wear my old clothing. No thanks to Brainiac, he had reduced my height when giving me the Fox DNA into my system. So, I gotta try and find smaller clothes or ones that can fit me."
Rohan smirks and winks, "Sure thing! Then we have a plan, you girls go ahead and head to the video and clothing store- I will meet the two of you at the Food court or if you want, meet me at the outdoors store." As the two girls nodded and all three laughed and pushed their fist forward. "Alright then, let's split up and meet around…" Then Rohan looks towards one of the clocks. "Say fiveish?" He suggested and the girls saluted and pulled their arms back. "Alright, meet you there or at the Food court!"
"See ya!" Both girls said while waving goodbye towards Rohan. The two girls then look at one another, as they proceed to scan around the mall lobby area seeing all different types of people and those with super powers running about or testing their skills out. They then looked toward the map board and saw where most of the shops or stores were for the rental video store/gaming store and clothes. "Alright then, I say we go and get you some new clothes- especially to fit for your new fox form." Mindy explained while then looking at her friend. "Like you said, since you lost some height. None of the old clothes you wear are going to fit ya anymore." She giggled out having Azune to just deadpan at her and thump her tail slightly.
But let it go and shake her head and shrug her arms. "Yeah alright, let's go to the usual clothing shop. They always have the brand and style of clothes that I like to wear." She suggested and smiled, "Come on, before it gets even more crowded." Azure said and began walking as she heard her friend answering her with a quick yeah and began walking beside her, smiling happily and placing a hand onto Azune's back to help her balance.
The two friends leisurely walked through the shopping mall, walking by and past people of all shapes and sizes, to adults, teenagers and children. Despite the crazy events with Brainiac invasion and kidnapping people. Everyone seemed to have moved on with their lives and began to forget the horrible tragedy that occurred not so many months ago. It was definitely one of the most tragic events Earth had to suffer from, as Brainiac's ships invaded all countries of the world and its people. Some fighting to defend themselves, some trying to escape and some even tried fighting back- those who have or even tried, would ultimately however lose their life. But one thing for sure: the Justice league alongside other super heroes, were there to stop the first invasion that happened…who knows if Brainiac will make a return trip.
The two girls continued their walks until they heard a slight commotion coming from one of the store stalls and took a moment to see what was going on. "You really think I am that dumb snot nose ass?" A scratchy tone voice came within what seems to be a computer department store, to then both Mindy and Azune quickly jumped separately from one another when computer parts came flying out from the store- that seemed to be thrown by what looked to be large metallic like spider-legs. "That dumb piece of crap is two models old, you don't want to make me angry- give me the latest model now!" Continuing the voice, it belongs to one of the Hive members named Gizmo. A small child prodigy and genius Flicking and wiggling the metal appendages that came out from his drone backpack. Goggles on the top of his forehead, glaring at the clerk who definitely seemed intimidated but also looking apologetic.
"Sorry Gizmo, it's the only thing we have that matches the specs of the recent models." Said the stuttering clerk. "The last one was already bought and sold to one of the IT tech institutes, and you know how they are when they want to reverse engineer things." Then yelps as he feels his collar being grabbed and roughly being dragged over the counter and slammed onto the floor eye level to Gizmo.
"I don't give a rat's ass if they bought it or not! I paid well in advance for that model and was told it will be here once I get here." Then slammed the clerk against the counter. "You either give me what I want, or I go and hack everything that is in this store right now!" Gizmo threatened. Having the girls and spectators who were watching this, to be worried or concerned about the man's safety. But surprisingly the crowd weren't exactly scared or threatened by Gizmon, considering they mumbled out or walked away stating how the genius has every right to be mad- especially if the little guy bought it in advance.
Mindy crosses her arms and purses her lips to the side and sighs, "Well, the guy had it coming- if I was in Gizmo shoes I would indeed be right to get angry, knowing someone sold something that was reserved for me. Right, Azune?" Mindy said with a smile and looked to her right and then blinked her eyes, seeing her friend wasn't there. "Azune?" Then raised arms up halfway and began twisting and turning, "Azune?" Then faces towards the store and widened her eyes, "WHAT the heck!?" seeing her friend approaching the already intense scene before them and seemed to be stomping her way towards Gizmo with her ears flatten hard against her head.
When she reached and approached Gizmo from behind, she went and tapped on his right shoulder. "Huh," then turned his head to see who it was and saw it looking to be a female fox girl. "What do you want mutt?"
"Let him go," Azure suddenly demanded while hardening her eyes. "Let him go, I am sure we can work out a more peaceful solution to this endeavor." She said and then stepped back, when Gizmo's backpack grew more limbs and raised the genius couple feet from the floor and got eye level with Azune, having the girl gulp lightly and feeling her tail drooping as he smiled.
"Oh yeah…then make me." Gizmo said, as he chuckled and moved the man around between the two of them, "Well go on, make me stop terrorizing him, if you have the guts mutt." Gizmo cockily said and waved the clerk around in front of Azune, who stepped back a couple more times and began trembling and shaking in her place. "Come on mutt, stop me, you obviously wanted to butt in and save the poor sap, then do it! Do it! Do It!" Gizmo repeated and continued throwing the man about like a ragdoll, watching Azune trembling even some more and began stepping back but yelping when she stepped onto one of the metal pieces of the computer Gizmo smashed early and fell onto her rear.
Azure then rubbed the injury and gasp as she faced forward and saw Gizmo menacingly grinned and began laughing darkly at her, "Pathetic…" then tossed the man over his shoulder, causing the clerk to hit the wall and fall behind the counter. "You're nothing but a waste of time, and it made me even more frustrated." Then he foreignly rubbed under his chin. "Oh I know!" Then clicked his back spider-metal limbs against one another and started discharging electricity, as Azune began panicking and started crawling her way backwards. "Maybe I should take my frustration out on you! Wonder how a fox will scream," he chuckled out and started moving closer to Azune as lights and shadows flicked between the two of them, "Let's see what the Fox really says!"
"HEY!" Mindy's voice suddenly called out, stopping Gizmo mere inches from her friend Azune, as he growled irritably and whipped his head towards her.
"WHAT!" He shouted and then blinked his eyes when he saw the girl gulped and stretched her collar slightly, then smiled nervously towards him.
"I think you might be at the wrong store Gizmo, what computer are you looking for?" The girl bravely asked Gizmo to stare softly and turned off the discharging electricity and faced her completely.
"It is a GPX IE 200 series special rare of the kind of computer lab tech that IT tech institutes uses why?" Gizmo asked and then widened his eyes when the girl, who too widened her eyes and then sweat drops and then cleared her throat while pointing towards the shop's name. Having Gizmo roll his eyes, figuring to humor her and approach her and stand next to her, then turns around and faces the sign.
"...oh." The boy read a sign that read 'Used tech and Computer core of your need' was written. Having him feel quite embarrassed but won't admit to it and clears his throat to get his composure. "Err I knew that, knew I was in the wrong store- just…testing the man out and see if he has any used equipment of what I was looking for." But then glares at Azue who gets up from her downed position and froze in place when he looked at her, feeling her fur standing out with how much kill intent he was sending her. "You're lucky your friend here saved ya, or I would have made you cry like a bitch!" Then pushes a button on his little remote control that he grabbed from his pocket and resummoned the spider limbs. "I'mma outta here, see ya freakazoids!" Gizmo cackled out as he began making a b=line to the other computer shop that was to the otherside of the mall.
Mindy rushes her way over to Azune, who had nearly collapsed once more and was hanging on her knees, "What the hell was that all about Azune?!" Mindy asked while stopping in front of her friend and pumped her arms. "When did you become brave let alone daring all of the sudden, cause that was HOT!" The girl said excitedly, making Azune lift her head and her eyes stared up to her with confusion.
"HOT?! I nearly got that guy killed, let alone even gotten myself killed!" Azune suddenly shouted and whipped her head towards the direction of where the clerk was. "Hey you alright?" she asked and saw the man lacing one hand at a time onto the counter, then pulling himself up and chuckling softly while wiping his forehead with a napkin.
"Ah I am good- thanks though," He said and saw Azune tilt her head in confusion. "Stepping in like that knowing he is one of the Hive members' infamous villains. I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to stand up to somebody like that!" He said, causing both Azune and Mindy to just stare and blink at him, but it seems like that's all he had to say and got to work cleaning up the mess Gizmo left behind.
Azure then folded her arms tightly against herself and shook her head. "Why did I do that?"WHAT prompted me to do so…I hate getting into conflicts." Azune murmured softly while she began heading out of the shop with her friend, walking close behind her and leaned to the right of her body- trying to assess her friend's emotional state. "So stupid of me to go in like that, knowing full well Gizmo can brutally hurt me! Why or where does that bravado even come from?"
Mindy hummed and straightened herself up as she did a couple skips and reached beside Azune, "I dunno- but that was cool though. Yeah sure, you had no plans on how to handle or even think about what to do with Gizmo. But hey!" She then punches Azune's left shoulder with a grin. "You saved that guy from any future injuries." She said and then deadpan as her friend's sour mood was starting to get annoying when Azune looked at her.
"But you're the one who actually stopped Gizmo!" Azure shouted and threw her hands to her eyes and covered them. "All I did was make him get even more frustrated and angry, so who knows what he would've done if he had pummeled me, he might have gone and kept injuring the clerk." She whined softly, having her friend let out a grunt.
"Ugh, and yet if you DIDN'T distracted Gizmo and had his attention on you, as well as even having him get more frustrated." Mindy then points at her friend in a finger gun fashion. "Me shouting at him would've been ignored if he was only slightly frustrated. Not only that, but you also had him completely forget about the clerk too- so don't say you didn't help at all Azune, cause you did."
Though Azune knows her friend is just trying to make her feel better and feel good about herself. The kitsune knows very well she was no help at all in that situation, and because of her butting in- she made the scene even worse by putting not only the clerk into more danger, but herself and Mindy as well. This is why she hates conflicts, let alone doesn't want to become a superhero- she doesn't have the courage or bravery to take on people like Gizmo. "Anyway can we get going before anything else happens, or get us into trouble for trying or attempting to stop somebody." Azure sighed out while rubbing her forehead, seeing her friend nodding.
"Yeah honestly I am with you on that." Mindy said and wrapped an arm around her friend's shoulder and began walking with her to their first destination. "Come on, let's go to the clothing store that you like. Maybe Gale there can offer some clothes for your fox form." She finished while pressing her head gently on Azune, who sighed and thanked her friend silently as they made their way towards the clothing store.
Xxx
After a while and thirty minutes of walking towards the store, the two of them were greeted by the worker named Gale, who happily waved her hands towards the two and then blinked her eyes when she saw Azune's new form. "And well, that's what happened and the gist of Azune's situation." Mindy in form the brown hair ponytail worker, who hummed and wrapped one arm over her chest and rested her left elbow against it while placing a finger under her chin. "Do you know any possible clothes that can work for Azune? While possibly cutting some holes for her tail?" Mindy continued asking as she was a bit overwhelmed today, would normally be cheerful but with the incident with Gizmo- has her a little on edge. Especially when Azune attempted to stop the genius from causing problems. And if Gizmo is here, that means Jynx and Mammoth might be here as well.
"Well then you two are in luck!" Smiled Gale, having both girls widening their eyes. "We just so happened to get a new batch of clothes for people like Azune, who have animal-like features/body or completely turned into an animal." Then lean on the counter desk. "Just go a little further in the back row and move towards the west side of the store. All types and sizes of clothes are ripe for the picking." She smiled at the two, while then grinning. "And if there's none with holes, let me know- I will get somebody to make open cuts of the clothes for your tail."
"Thanks Gale," Both girls said and happily went ahead and entered inside the shop and went further down inside of it- to start turning to their left and spotted the clothing lines that were designed and made for people with features like Azune. "Alright let's see what we can find." Azure smiled and said as she approached the clothes rack, with Mindy looking as well.
The two spend a good while searching for many types of clothes for Azune to try on and buy for not only their camping trip, but for herself to wear at home and school. The two even had bit of fun, something that Azune misses dearly as she has been gone for almost a month. Having fun and relaxing with Mindy was good for her spirit. Even laughing at some of the clothes Mindy picked out and showed it to the girl, making small jokes or messing around with Azune of how some of the holes for hybrid humans with animal features, could even manage or possibly get their tails through some of the smaller holes. In which Azune shrugged while jokingly saying how it might be for thin tails or rabbit tails. Making Mindy giggle with her friend and jokingly asks her to try and slip her tail into the hole.
Having Azune laugh and figure to entertain her friend and faces away from Mindy, wagging her tail and positioning it so that the girl can try and see if the fluffy tail will fit or not. Azure did her best not to shudder or shake when Mindy got a hold of her tail and tried slipping it through the hole, but only managing to get the very tip of the tail through, but the rest was impossible. So Mindy went ahead and placed the clothing back on the rack, giggling when she saw Azune swishing her tail around and gliding one hand across her fur. Mindy watched and said, "you know, now that you have a tail? As well as fur, you might have to take extra care for them and make sure they're healthy and shining with health."
"Huh why is that?" Azure asked after facing towards her friend and going through the racks, picking and choosing clothes she liked and wanted to get. "Did you look that up somehow?" Azure asked again, while shifting her pink eyes towards the girl.
While Mindy lifted her cellphone and smiled, "Yup, while we were making the drive here. I went and searched up anything about foxes you should know about." Then faced the phone to herself. "Which says that knowing how an animal is feeling well, and feeling healthy. Is the way their fur shines or glowing with health, in other words or meaning." She then pockets the phone and smiles. "If the color of your fur is bright red, it means you are very healthy." Then hums, "and considering you just recently got back. It doesn't look like it's in bad shape, but when we do ever get or come across showers. You should try and wash it as much as you can. No doubt it is going to get dirty a lot if not careful."
This had Azune humming and lightly turning her head downwards to face her tail and wagging it gently left to right. Then back at Mindy. "True, since its fur as well I shouldn't let it get dusty or dirty too much." She plainly said as the girls went back to finding more clothes to wear.
When thye found a good enough pair of clothes for Azune and Mindy herself they began walking and heading over towards the changing room. To try them on and see what they looked like while wearing them, however- the duo came to a pause and stopped near the changing rooms. When they heard what sounded like racks of clothes falling apart or falling onto the floor. Alerting the two of what is going on and well…another member of Hive was apparently in the store with them. Looking to be minding her own business, scoffing when she doesn't find something interesting and just snaps her fingers, causing the rack to fall apart or even having the clothes ripped to shreds.
This had the two girls glaring slightly but made sure not to do anything to stop Jynx. "Seriously, is this all you have for clothes?" Came the female voice, as she turned and faced Gale across the room- having her black dress hug gently against her body, while she began tapping her purple boots on the floor. "What kind of lame styles this shop has, thought it was supposed to be top tier?" She asked as she crossed her arms, having her pale face forming a scowl along with the pink circle spots curling inward.
"Sorry Jynx, our shop despite not having any good fashion sense. We do take pride in our price tags and those who just want to live comfortable lives." Gale said and pursed her lips to the side, when Jynx's pink eyes hardened a bit and then sighed roughly turning to face a rack nearby and stared. "Though can you please not destroy the fabrics."
This had Jynx then grinning as she gathered energy around her hands and fingers. "You have quite the sassy tone in your voice. Should know who you're talking to." Then swiped her right arm upwards causing a miniatures side energy like blade of her bad luck powers, causing pink energy particles to go and tearing up the clothing on the rack, soon followed by the metal holding said clothes- rusted up and broke apart and crumbled the clothes into a heap pile. "Especially someone like me, who brings bad luck wherever she goes." She cackled, but sweatdropped when she wanted to be smug at the clerk, only to see she wasn't phased at all.
"You do know you\ 're gonna have to pay for the damages right?" Gale said with a very harsh and intimidating tone and even having quite the scary look on her face. That had Jynx stare for a while but quickly shook her head and stood her ground, but honestly like how this person isn't backing down or looking intimidated towards her.
"Wow, you have guts there- do you plan on throwing me out?" Then scoffed with a mocking tone. "Please, you have no authority over me and I can do whatever, whenever I want!" She laughed and swayed her way deeper into the center of the store, as she began flicking and spreading bad luck onto other customers and even some of the kids nearby, who watched the clothes they were buying being rotten or ripped- to then the toys the children had in their hands, snapping or breaking apart easily in their hands. Causing them to start crying out and going into tears.
Mindy sighed and shook her head, "Least Gale ain't putting up with Jynx bullshit. Come on Azune, let's" then looked to her right and once again, Azure wasn't next to her and the clothes she was carrying was placed comfortably on a bench outside the changing rooms. Having Mindy to stare at the clothes for awhile, then getting an annoyed expression on her face, "I swear to god, she better not-'' she began whispering to herself and looked in the direction of where Jynx, "And she is going right for Jynx…man Azune, for someone who doesn't want to get into conflicts. WHY are you going to it!" Mindy finds this behavior odd? What's incentivising the girl to even approach these villains without second guessing? Mindy even wonders if Azune will back down once more like she did with Gizmo or not?
Azure, who is making her way over towards Jynx, sees the girl destroying some more racks of clothing and even causing those around her to have really bad luck or fumbling and stumbling about, to even breaking and losing their balance themselves. When Azune was a few feet from Jynx ready to speak to her, the girl yelped and hisses out when her foot hit something hard, causing her to bounce up and down slightly to then shake her head. She came to her senses and nearly let out a low gasp of what she is or was about to do, ready to hightail it out of there- before Jynx eyes locked onto Azune in the corner, to then sighed and faced her. "What do you want, fur ball?"
Azure begins shaking lightly as she tries finding her words and looking around for a brief moment to find an excuse, but then quickly faces one of the racks. Laughing nervously, as if she was trying to find some clothes. Swishing her tail nervously left to right as she felt her fur standing up as Jynx continued to stare at her, then leaned close to Azune who silently gulped and felt like she's being inspected. "Well…you obviously have a problem with me, or why else would you approach me hm?" Then grinned. "What, am I bothering you when I do this?" She then swings her arm outwards to her right, causing some of the devices in the store to explode or short circuit the lights as glass pops and breaks.
Making Azune flinch and start freaking out as she shut her eyes tightly and shook her head no. "N-No, I have no problems with you. Just…stubbing my toe is all!" She tried saying, even though she did in fact stubbed her toe- folding her ears back in fear as Jynx continued staring at her and leaning even closer, pushing into Azune's personal space as the girl began sweating and felt her heart racing faster, afraid she was going to get hurt.
"What's your name?" Jynx asked as Azune began looking left and right, not entirely sure if she should give it or not? Then recalls her talk with Mindy and Rohan in the car about how villains and heroes don't use their real names when well...doing their thing.
"Um, I am-am…uh Azune." She said with a gulp.
"Azune?" Jynx then backs off and stares some more and then looks at the girl over. "Hmm…doesn't fit you that well, you seem more of a- hmm, Viridi." Jynx then just shrugs, "Ah well," then grinned wickedly. "So, I know you're lying, your tail is all puffy there- indicating that besides being scared, you also had alternative motives…so what were they hm?" Then giggled. "Go on, I am in a slightly good mood."
Azure began panicking as she wasn't sure what would happen, if she did tell the truth and be honest with her. Her eyes turned towards Gale, who shook her head no silently telling her not to answer. Then Azune looks behind her, seeing Mindy doing a X formation with her arms. Azune then faces back to Jynx, who seems to be getting impatient as her eyes look like they were ready to force the answer out of the girl. "Sigh…" Azure sighed and hung her head down, while meekly looked up at Jynx and opened a palm. "I…I was actually going to ask you if you could not destroy the clothing here or the property?
This had Jynx smirking slightly and then had a wicked glint in her eyes, "Or what?" She cackled out, "What could you possibly do to me if I didn't listen huh?" She asks and happily starts flexing her fingers and gathering up her powers in them both.
"N,Nothing! Nothing, was just going to ask you to stop, that's all!" Azure panicky said out loud, while stepping backwards and away from the encroaching Jynx. "Please, I-I don't want any trouble or start any trouble," She continue saying while then yelping when she tripped over some clothes on the floor, then felt her arm being grabbed by someone and then gets tugged hard into them, to then grunting out when their bodies smack against one another- then Azune opening her eyes and widened her pink eyes for how close she and Jynx were as the pink hair villain chuckled darkly and had Azune widening her eyes even more and shivering badly from feeling the girl purposely roaming her hands along each side of her body.
"Heh- too bad, maybe it would've been fun torturing you or having you begging in my clutches." then opened her hands and shoves Azune with her palms, but made sure to enhance the shove with her powers and sent Azune flying across the store and slamming and bashing through the changing room doors. "Take my advice kid, your way over your league with me. And if you truly wanted to stop me, then grow some balls and actually take action you pussy." Jynx then began laughing and making her way out of the store, "Gale, can you send those clothes to my address- I should have a pre-order written." Then stops at the entrance and stares down the hall.
Where she sees Azune in a heap of one of the changing rooms, who was groaning and shaking her out to shake out the pain, then opened her eyes and stared at Jynx. "Next time I see you or bother you, I won't go easy on you. Ta-ta." She then laughed loudly and began making her exit, having Azune just string and then slowly looked down at herself and clothes that were laid on top of her- then just lightly slapped Mindy hand away not wanting any help.
"Please…just leave me alone Mindy…don't think I am in the mood for anything." Azurn said between chokes, trying hard to keep her emotions in check and even more so- as the customers in the store were literally belittling or speaking under their breaths about how she would've caused problems and trouble in the store. With some even saying how a stupid girl like her should have known better.
Just adding more to the damping mood of Azune, with Mindy looking very worried towards the girl, while then growling out and hardening her red eyes- before swiftly turning around and shouts. "Oh shut the fuck up you dolts! AT LEAST she actually tried to be helpful and stopped Jynx from destroying even more things in the store." Then stomps her foot. "Hell, I didn't see any of you trying or approaching Jynx and telling her to stop. So if you keep bad mouthing about my friend, I will personally see to it you all get a beating!" She yelled and then heard Gale shouting out.
"Not only that but I will also ban you all from the store as well, we have zero tolerance for bullying and disrespecting other customers here in our shop. Now, you either shut up and get what you need or get out!" Gale said while thrusting her arms towards the exit and saw everyone murmuring and quickly apologizing for the trouble, with some even saying to each other how it was brave of Azune to at least attempt at stopping Jynx.
Mindy sighed irritably and looked back to her friend, who seemed to have grabbed her clothes and shut the door hard and locked the changing room door. Making Mindy to lower her shoulders and dangling her arms in concern and worry for Azune. "Man…this camping trip can't come any sooner…Azune really needs this." Mindy thought to herself and sighs, as she grabbed her clothes and went into a different changing stall.
Xxx
After that was done and recovering from another incident with meeting the Hive five member Jynx, the two girls decided to just head on over towards the food court and take a break from window shopping or shopping in general;. Considering they don't want to run into any other super villains that might be here- let alone Mammoth. Mindy sighs as Azune had gone to the restroom to try and recollect herself and recover from everything that had happened.
The tan girl just lightly rests her elbow onto the table and leans against her hand, going over her thoughts but also figuring out what to eat and have for lunch with her friends. "Hey, everything okay?" A voice called out as Mindy lifted her eyes up and saw it was Rohan, who adjusted his shirt and carried what looked to be a big bag. "You look upset, something happened with Azune?" The young man asks while taking a seat and sits across from Mindy on the medium sized circular marble table, watching the girl lean against her chair and slouches down, sighing. "C'mon, what happened?"
"Everything really, the world is like out to get her or something. No matter where we go or even try to do, reality loves to smack Azune here and there, as if she's its personal punching bag." Mind says, while slamming a hand against the tabletop. "We ran into Gizmo while making our way to the clothes shop."
"Gizmo is here?" Rohan repeated, while then sighing, "Let me guess…he bothered you two?" He wondered though and raised a brow when Mindy shook her head. "Wait, he didn't bother you- then what?"
"Well that is the weird part," Mindy adjusted herself and blinked her red eyes. "I don't know what came over Azune, but seeing the clerk being tossed around like salad and being thrashed about from Gizmo. Caused her to start approaching him and trying to stop Gizmo from hurting the man."
"Wait really?!" Rohan exclaimed while laughing, "Alright, alright" he chuckled out while shaking his head and closing his eyes. Thinking that Mindy is telling a bad joke. "Stop joking, Azure plus conflict, equals the girl would never do it in a million years." Steed the young man while crossing his arms, but raised a brow seeing Mindy having quite the serious look on her face. "...proof?"
"Proof? Sigh," then goes digging into her pockets after lightly standing up from her chair and pulls out her cellphone, then opens up one of the video sharing sites and then moves the phone to face towards Rohan and plays a video. "This proof enough, bad enough the comment section is filled with toxicity towards Azune- but also rooting for Gizmo to murder her as well."
"Well that is rule 1 of the internet, never read the comment section." Rohan chuckled very lightly and watched the kitsune doing what Mindy told him. Trying to stop Gizmo from harming the clerk even further, to then looking like she got her senses back and began trembling and cowering in front of Gizmo. "Huh…did her eyes look different to you?" He asked, making Mindy to hum out and let Rohan take the phone. "Hmm…yeah look." he then paused the video and showed it to Mindy.
Mindy leans in and tries to see what he means? "Azune\s Eyes are always have a happy and caring expression, despite how down in the dumps she is. Yet these eyes look quite cold, protective and dare I say- confident troo." Rohan continued and watched Mindy taking her phone back and getting a closer look at the eyes.
"Huh…you're right? I didn't notice that at the time…let alone as well with Jynx." She said and had Rohan bulging his eyes out and hanging his mouth slightly open, making the girl shift her gaze away from the phone and blush lightly in embarrassment. "Yeah, we ran into Jynx next- who was at the clothing store. Azure once again did this with her, but not as confident as before though." Informed the girl while pocketing her phone away.
"Ugh, then that means Mammoth is here as well." Rohan muttered annoyingly, as he leaned and slouched down against his chair. "Where's Azune by the way?" He asked his friend, who just raised her right arm and thumbs behind her, pointing to the restroom. "Is she alright?"
"Rohan honestly, and not trying to be mean or rude. But do you really think Azune is alright?" Mindy said with a scorn-like tone. "She in the restroom trying to recover from everything that just happened, still recovering from being gone for an entire month being experimented on, to then her body acting out on its own, wanting to stop Jynx and Gizmo from harming or destroying properties, to then having them threatened her life."
Mindy finished and saw her friend chuckling lightly as he slouched further on his seat, looking quite sheepish. "Right…dumb question to ask." Then smiled softly, "well…I can say this at least, I got everything for the camping trip. It's all in the bag next to me, so once we're done here and got something to eat. We can then get started on an early day and arrive at the campsite."
"That's good to hear, maybe getting a head start of the trip will do good for Azune." Mindy answered, then both of them sat upright when they heard said girl calling out to them. Having Mindy turn towards her right of the chair and smiles at the kitsune. "Hey Azune, feeling better?" She asked as the girl approached them and smiled weakly.
"A little, just honestly want to get something to eat and head home. Not sure I can handle any more surprises." She sighed out, as Azune then smiled at Rohan. Who waved at her, "Looks like you managed to find everything?" She pondered while swishing her tail left to right.
"Yup, got everything we need. I say we can probably go ahead and head to the campsite early instead of arriving tomorrow. So this way, we can have the entire weekend up in the forest and mountains." He then grinned. "Definitely more so, as you look like you really need it from the sounds of it."
Azure chuckled as she figured Mindy told him everything, "Yeah…WELL!" then happily claps her hands as she was feeling her spirits returning. "What are you all in the mood to eat? I feel up and in the mood for a large pizza pie and fries." Giggle the Kitsune, as Midy snickers.
"Well then bacon chicken burgers for me then!"
"As for me, just your typical onion rings, as I will join you on the Pizza Azune."
"Right then, Bacon chicken burger, and onion rings. Be right back." Azure smiled and began heading over towards the food stalls were at, as she went to get her friends food first, to then later get the Pizza pie for herself. Already knowing what kind of drinks the two friends wanted and safely got in line with other people. Laughing as some who had powers, looked at her and beamed happily asking if her Xobite gave her that form. Though apologize when she said brainiac did, but laughed when the girl assured them they were alright in asking, while jokingly saying how it is hard to get used to it, but she's coping.
Mindy and Rohan smiled as the girl seemed to be recovering and decided to distract themselves for now with their phones and checking up on things, or watching some videos. Though Mindy felt a big chill going down her spine and turning pale immediately from feeling a familiar presence behind her, that alerted Rohan and stares up at her, then he too paled when he saw who was behind her one table away.
"Sheesh you'd think a pathetic shopping mall like this would have the more recent models of the computer. But no, those snooze dildo heads didn't know what a USB port or CPU drivers are called." The voice belonged to Gizmo as he sat down and used his backpack to form a bit of a booster seat for him, staring at his partner Jynx, who joined in on him and sat down. "What about you? Any luck finding your clothes?" He asked, with a bit of a scoff.
"Sort of- but did find some interesting fashion to wear for heading out or just doing daily things," Jynx responded while adjusting her pink hair for a couple of seconds, and looking at him. "But either way, pretty uneventful…well sort of."
"Sort of? What does 'sort' of mean?" Gizmo asked and saw Jynx sighing out and then leaned back on her chair, crossing her arms under her chest.
"Well, I ran into a kitsune at the shop…not sure what she wanted or even trying to do, but approached me and dared asking me not to destroy or break the clothes and racks there." She giggled out tauntingly, having Gizmo raise a brow and open his eyes.
"By any chance did the fox have red fur, wearing a pink long sleeve shirt and black sleek pants?" He asked, watching Jynx's pink eyes widened and silently asking how did he know? "Cause that was the same mutt I ran into near the computer store…well, the one that sells used computers and such." He said and then grumbled, "worthless bitch thought she could tell me what to do by demanding me not to mess with the clerk," then grinned. "Too bad she was a coward, as she started trembling and shaking in her boots after realizing who she was talking to."
Jynx blinked her eyes, "Really? She did the same with me, though she didn't sound confident at all with me. But still had the guts to ask me to stop." They laughed as she snickers, "I believe she would've pissed her pants, when I grabbed her and pulled her close to me- preventing her from falling." She laughed and then laughed some more when Gizmo chuckled and replied back.
"I bet she would…but you should've let her fall, why stop her from falling?"
"Well one, metal hangers Gizmo, you know how sharp they are?" Jynx said and saw Gizmo nodding in agreement, just because of their villains. Doesn't mean they always like that 24/7 a day.. "And was curious of what she would do if I pulled her in close to me, which she just trembled even more to then blushing crimson." She teased out with a snicker. "Although now curious what shampoo she uses, she smelled pretty nice?"
"Ugh you girls and your hygiene, I swear never understand why you are all obsessed with shampoo and conditioners."
"Better than smelling like decaying oil fields, or smelly rusted metal metal breath." Jynx counter-argued, getting Gizmo to feel a tick mark and enlarged his head shouting.
"What did you say, there's nothing wrong with smelling like hard work!" Then deflated and humphed while crossing his arms. "Better than wasting 20 minutes freshen up.
"Careful there runt," Jynx then raised a hand and had her powers sparking. "I can easily disable your devices and make them go haywire, so better watch your mouth." Jynx threatened, making Gizmo to pale slightly and sweat dropped- making Jynx giggle and relaxed in her seat. "Thought so." Then huffs looking around the food court, "Damn it, where's Mammoth that block head says he would be getting us food."
Gizmo faces towards her and begins saying, "Oh he's in one of the popular-" then pauses mid-sentence as he looks across the table, causing people on the table behind Jynx to flinch and begin sweating bullets and going paler. This had Jynx tilt her head at the sudden silence Gizmo took, wondering what caught his attention and turned around in her chair and saw what's behind her, then noticed who he was looking at.
"HEY!" Gizmo suddenly shouted and Rohan and Mindy flinched. "You're that girl who was with that kitsune who tried to stop me!" He called out, making Mindy gulp and slightly turned around and faced them, looking really nervous and waved very gently to them.
"H-hey there…m..managed to get your computer?" Mindy asked real nervously, as she saw Jynx blinking her eyes and recognized her too as she was with the kitsune at the clothing shop.
"Oh hey yeah, you were with that fox girl at the store." Jynx mentioned and shook her head, wondering why Gizmo would even get mad. Considering Mindy here sounded like she helped Gizmo out with his computer problem. "Just leave them be Gizmo, they haven't done anything to us."
Gizmo is ready to argue back but knows Jynx is right, the fox girlf's friend here didn't really mess with them. "But still…she tried ruining my fun."
"And if she didn't, the Teen Titans would be arriving here to cause problems for us all. So, ever thought about that?" Stated Jynx looking hard at Gizmo, who deflated and relaxed immediately at what and where Jynx was getting at. Even bringing a good point, if that girl did not stop him- the guy would probably call help and have the Teen Titans involved.
"That…huh." The boy then sat down and seemed to be calming down, as Jynx just shook her head and then leaned her head all the way back, looking upside down towards the friend.
"Anyway, how is fox breath doing? Did she pissed herself after I blasted her." Jymx asked with a taunting smile and tone. Making Mindy feel a bit of rage building up inside of her, hearing Rohan whispering to her how she needs to stay calm. "By the way, what conditioner or shampoo does she use?" Jynx suddenly asked, having the two blink their eyes confusingly towards her.
"Oh..um, I don't know?| Mindy said while scratching her cheek and looking away slightly. "I generally don't ask. But um…" then crossed her arms and felt a sweat drop. "Huh, considering she was experimented on and turned into a fox. I guess she would be using her shampoo a lot more to clean the fur?"
This had the two villains blinking their eyes at the word, experiment. Then lightly grimace as they quickly connected the dots as Jynx lifted her head and face Gizmo, who whispered silently Brainiac's name. Having them be a little empathetic now, but not completely towards the fox girl, but they can understand a little of what she's going through though. It took them and the entire group of Hive students to fight and fend off those Brainiac drones. Jynx then turned sideways and faced the two, "Well anyway, don't know what her deal with us is. But if she messes with us again or tries stopping us from having fun. Let her know we won't refuse to cause harm to her."
"Or you guys specifically since your friends and all." Gizmo added as he had two metal spider limbs sparking electricity at them. Mindy though made sure to stand her ground and gritted her teeth- now understanding why Azune behavior was like that to them. Threatening her friend like that, to then even her and Rohan? No, Azure had all rights to behave as such with the two of them.
"You do know threatening us will just cause more problems for you two." Mindy growled out having Rohan widening his eyes at the girl, while whipping his head towards the two and back at the girl. "Just because you're a villain, doesn't mean people should take up or put up with your pathetic treatments! Super powers or not!"
"What did you say!?" Gizmo shouted and activated the rest of his limbs. While Jynx sighs and shakes her head, but laughs either way- finding this quite enjoyable. She thought the fox girl was gutsy and now seeing her friend being so too. Well, she now knows where Azune gets her bravado from.
"You heard me metal head!" Mindy growled out and stood up as Roha, quickly got out of his chair and hooked his arms under Mndy and did his best to hold her back. "Just because you can speak or talk down to my friend like that, does not give you the right to treat people as such., Let alone my friend, she already went through a lot!"
"And I don't fucking care if she did or didn't go through a lot, she bothered me andtried to ruining my fun!" Gizmo shouted and yelled, causing quite the scene between the two of them. With Jynx having a miserable look on her face, while keeping a strong hold on Gizmo shirt collar to prevent him from pouncing on the girl, but also getting his ass kicked by said girl.
She silently looks towards Rohan and asks, "Does this happen a lot?" She asked curiously, as the man blinked his eyes and looked at her, then at Mindy and sighed while nodding his head with a 'yeah' expression. "Don't worry, it happens with me too…you try keeping two hot headed men in check in your group." she mumbled out as the two teens yelled and shouting towards one another, making quite the scene now as people were staring and watching the two loud mouths going at each other's throats, "Gizmo give it a rest will you?"
"You too Mindy! You're causing a scene and unwanted aggression is not advised right now!" Rohan shouted and managed to tug and pull the girl backwards as she was calming down and throwing him off from her, as she huffed and breathed heavily, "C'mon, its not worth getting into a fight.".
Gizmo grunted when Jynx tossed him to his chair, nearly causing him to fall backwards on the chair, but quickly grabbed the table with his hands and righted himself up while scoffing. "Better listen to your friend there banshee, you have no idea who you're messing with!"
Mindy growled dangerously while stiffening up her shoulders and face turning a little red with anger, as she was ready to retort only to calm down and let out a rough breath of air to then turn her attention towards a voice belonging to Azune! Which had Mindy and Rohan palling at the fact their friend was coming back, with a big smile on her face and wagging her tail happily.
"Hey guys, my Pizza is gonna be awhile but I got the other food, for you…." Azure then slowed down and opened her eyes to freeze in place, when she saw Jynx and Gizmo who looked towards her. "...Ehh not even gonna ask." Azure muttered softly and just carefully approached her friend and the table, sitting down with their food. "Alright, what did Mindy do this time?"
"WHAT!" Mindy raised her voice, causing Azune to fold her ears back and wince slightly. "What makes you think I was causing trouble?" She asked and slammed her hands onto the table before deflating when Azune gave her a hard look.
"When it comes to insults and defending your friend Mindy, you are the first to shoot off her mouth and can be quite mouthy to others." Azure said in a matter of fact tone and crossed her arms. "AND", she quickly raised her right hand up. "Don't bring up about me approaching the two of them, cause again? I don't…know what that was all about or whyI did it." She chuckled nervously, having Jynx and Gizmo to just stare, though Jynx laughed to herself as she is finding this way amusing..
"The hell you mean you don't know why you did it!" Gizmo shouted and began rapidly moving his hand and arm up and down. "Your the one who did it and tried stopping me and Jynx from having fun ya mutt! Kind of stupid that you don't even know why you did it in the first place!" Shouted the boy, then stopped mid waving of his arm and saw Azune chuckling nervously.
'I am being serious," Azure said softly while then grabbing her right arm and rubbing it. "I…don't know what came over me, or why I did it." then soften her expression. "I don't like getting into conflicts nor starting one, so…yeah." She shrugged at the end,having Gizmo just blink at her.
""...are you mentally unwell or something?" Gizmo started lightly having Mindy become very furious and was ready to scream and shout but Azune beat her to it.
"At this point I think I am, who knows what Brainiac did to me." Azure joked lightly, nearly getting everyone there to snort or laugh from the joke she made, even Gizmo had to snicker lightly at the joke. Having Azune smile weakly then her ears tilted upwards, when she heard her name, "Be right there!" She called out and lightly laughed nervously, "alright so- can you guys not kill each other? Cause, all we are here for is to get a camping set and some food, then we leave okay?" She said while stepping backwards a couple of times and keeping her eye on everyone, mostly towards Mindy.
Everyone just shrugs from the villain side as Jynx snickers, "Yeah sure, I will keep Gizmo in check." She chuckled, having Gizmo glare at her and then slammed down onto the chair with a huff and pouting like a little child. Muttering under his breath, as Mindy huffed herself as well as slamming down onto her chair. Having Rohan sighing and relaxed a bit, glad Azune somehow managed to defuse the tension like that.
"Will do Azune and thanks for bringing the food." Rohan said and then sat down letting out some frustrated breaths, but glad everything had settled down and became quiet again. He even saw Azune walking past Mammoth who was carrying a large tray with him and brought it towards his friends and partners. Having Rohan to be glad the two didn't interact with one another or encounter each other at the line and the likes.
Few minutes has passed as everyone enjoyed their food, Azure could be seen in the distance being careful of grabbing the Pizza box from the food stall and began heading back over to her friends, "alright guys Pizza is here and-" Then her foot stepped onto a ketchup packet, causing her to slip and slide slightly in place, to then falling forward! Everything moved in slow motion as the Pizza box was the first to go flying and opening up in the air.
Followed by the slices of Pizza came flying out of the box and flew in the direction of where the Hive members were, as all the Pizza landed scolding hot on them! Forcing all three of them to shout and scream in pain, while also being covered in nothing but different cheese pizza and pepperoni! This had Mindy and Rohan staring wide eyed at the sight as well, watching villains rapidly and quickly getting the pizza slices off from them and the toppings. But then everything went cold and silent as the three villains seemed to have reached their limits, well…Mammoth is easy to anger, but the other two- well their patience has finally snapped.
Azure picked herself off from the floor and shook her head, "Ugh that hurt.." she then got onto her knees and shook her head, while then lifting her head up asking. "I didn't hit anyone did I?" She asked and then felt her fur standing up and her senses telling her danger is near, making her ears to fold against her head and then slowly turn her gaze over towards the villains and widened her eyes at the sight of them looking to have gotten burnt and allowing some pizza slices to slide and fall off towards the floor.
"Gizmo, Mammoth." Jynx began speaking with a very dark and menacing tone, as Gizmo immediately got his metal spider limbs out from the backpack and looked very pissed. While Mammoth began cracking his knuckles and neck. Having Azune and her friends to gulp as they know what is going to happen next, as Mindy and Rohan quickly got out from their chairs and try moving towards Azune, "Crush them." Jynx shouted and fired off a wave of her powers towards the trio.
Azure widens her eyes and shouts, "Get down!" towards her friends who quickly leapt forward and slid across the floor as Jynx powers missed them by mere inches, as it flew across the food court and caused the chairs and tables to break and fall apart. Even to those who were sitting and ready to eat! The two friends quickly rolled onto their sides and looked towards the trio, as they saw Mammoth standing right in front of them with both fists high above his head! Mindy and Rohan scurry away towards the left and right- while Azune quickly turns around and tries running away, but Mammoth slammed his fists into the ground.
It caused her to go flying upwards and into the air! Then yells out in pain when Gizmo quickly follows up with a elbow tackle against Azune's ribs, sending her eastward and slamming onto a table, causing it to break as she bounced into a chair and began tumbling about- to then yell in pain once more, when Jynx ran right up next to her and kicked her hard against her left side, sending her into a table and snapping the metal that keeps it locked into the floor apart and sliding and breaking through couple of chairs! As she groaned and held onto both her sides, whimpering lightly and tearing up from the pain she's having.
"Azune!" Mindy and Rohan shouted as they faced towards villains, who seemed to now be targeting her. "Someone call the police or get the Teen Titans!" Shouted Rohan as he and Mindy were doing their best to stand up onto their feet, but quickly whipped their heads towards Azune. Who was grabbed and picked up by Mammoth, with the girl wincing one eye open and then let out a loud grunt of pain as he tossed her into the air and then punched hard into her stomach! Sending her flying across the food court and bouncing off and breaking more tables and chairs, to then slamming into the wall when Jynx leapt into the air and fired off her powers!
Causing a small explosion to erupt near Azune, that sent her into the air and hitting the wall hard! The girl hissed and cried out in pain, while opening her eyes and widened them! She began scuttling against the floor, to then jumping out of the way from Gizmo trying to stab all his metal spider limbs into her! As the girl made sure to get up, best she could while holding onto her stomach and sides, yelping and screaming out in fright as Mammoth was tossing and throwing chairs and tables at her! As the young kitsune was doing everything she could not to get hurt or hit more from the three, as she felt her instincts kicking in and began running on all fours, slipping and sliding about from the floor.
"We gotta do something! We have nothing to throw at them!?" Mindy shouted as people in the food court were running and fleeing for safety. As the tan girl looked left to right to see if there was anything heavy or good enough to make a distraction.
"I don't know!" Rohan yelled as he whip his attention towards Azune, who got kicked across the face when Jynx began hopping and skipping on top of the tables and managed to land a hit across Azunes face, to then the girl panicking and scratching hard against the floor when Mammoth grabbed her tail and threw her across the food court and straight to the middle of the room. "I mean try throwing hot food or something!" Rohan suggested.
"Hot food…Brilliant!" Mindy exclaimed as she ran over to one of the food stalls, hopping over the counter as the workers who had left earlier and their station went to find safety, but also left some cooked and fresh food out. "Rohan grab everything you can and start tossing!" Mindy called out, grabbing any food that looked freshed and were steaming hot, as she places them onto the counter leading outside of the stalls,m to which Rohan who leapt over one of the railings went and grabbed the food and headed back to the food court, finding a table that is closest to the members and start piling them up.
Azure groaned and coughed badly form the injuries she was taking, even coughed up some blood from her mouth. Having her widened her eyes and starting to freak out0 as she saw the blood staining her right hand, her skin crawled ad her body trembled badly, she then look towards her right and saw electric sparks coming right for her- as she managed to leap forward to dodge the first one, which flipped the table, to then doing another leap to dodge a second electric orb that sent chairs flying, to then crawling around and hid behind one of the marble tables and covered herself when the next blast hit the table but didn't send it flying. She shook and trembled while hiccuping and tearing up, her tail curled tightly around her legs and had her knees up to her face.
Hearing the hive members laughing and cackling at her distraught position with Jynx smirking, "Well seems like our toy is done for the day boys. How about we finish her off, not kill but knock her out." She quickly said but saw the two boys nodding their heads, understanding what she meant, then Jynx went ahead and gathered a large amount of energy from her powers, Gizmo rapidly rubbing his spider limbs fast and hard together- gathering a large and huge electric orb while Mammoth went and grabbed a nearby table ready to chuck it at Azune!
"FIRE!" came Mindy's voice, causing the trio to blink their eyes and slowly look to their left, and then screamed out in pain when dozens of hot and steamy food came flying right at them and splattered against them! Burning them and singing their skins, to even flailing about when hot sauce landed into their eyes and skins Causing the three to run about for awhile and then slamming into each other, causing their oilers to explode and electric orbs to electrify them, to even the table Mammoth was holding to slam onto his head!
"Bulls eye!" Mindy said and leaned on the table and smirked at Rohan, "Nice shot Rohan."
"Heh thanks, I know those days of aiming catapults in those video games will pay off." He chuckled, though the two of them faced forward and went pale as all three villains. Who were red in the face and some of their skin being red from the burning food, all were glaring daggers towards them. "Um…was there a plan for when they switched targets and focused on us?"" Rohan asked as Mindy just stared and opened her mouth while feeling a sweat drop forming on her head.
"Err…no there wasn't…"
"THAT'S IT! I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU THREE, MAMMOTH!" Jynx screeched out and turned to him, then thrust her arm out to the two friends. "Make them pay!" She shouted, having Azune to whip her head away from her knees and looked around the table. She then watched Mammoth chuckling while cracking his knuckles, then quickly running over to grab something heavier and sturdier that will no doubt send her friends to the hospital! As he tore off some plantation from the foundation of the mall, lifting it over his head and then faces towards Mindy and Rohan, who tried to run backwards or get out of the way, as Mammoth ran forward couple of distance to then hops lightly into the air and stomps his feet onto the floor sliding across it.
Then reaching both arms backwards and far back he could, while gripping the long rectangle plant decoration that was made out of the tiles of the mall, then threw it hard and fast towards Azune's friends, "NOO!" Azure shouted and felt everything then moved at slow motion as Azune began scuttering her way out from her hiding spot, then running on all fours- as she raced towards her friends who were trying to run away from the object that was coming towards them at rapid speed, that Azune who was running on all fours and straining her muscle to reach there in time, suddenly felt herself go faster all of the sudden with flicker of flames shooting out from her feet and legs, that was giving her slight boost in her speed without realizing it.
Got close to her friends and began slamming down the brakes, as she slid across the floor and swung around to the front of her friends. Then shouts again, "You won't hurt them!" She yelled out and thrust both hands and arms forward in front of her! Knowing full well it will crush her and possibly even break her from catching the object, but then widened her pink eyes as swirling and twirling flames went over her arms and towards her hands- followed by large blasts of flames erupted from her hands and blasted into the large object in one blast! Destroying it and breaking it into millions of pieces, then the flames soaring access the food court as Mammoth eyes widened and then got flamethrower to the face, making Jynx and Gizmo to step away and back off while watching their friend get flamethrower in the face.
When the flames died down, Mammoth's face was charcoaled and soot as he puffed out smoke from his mouth and fell forward with a loud thud! HAving Jynx and Gizmo to stare at their friend, to then looking towards Azune's direction. Seeing the fox girl's eyes were completely dotted and even blinking confusingly of what just occurred, even her friends were super deformed and staring wide eyed at the sight too. Azure then turns her hands towards herself and flexes her fingers, wondering what just happened?
Though she then whipped her head up as Jynx and Gizmo were now ticked off, as the small genius was helping up Mammoth and getting him back to his senses, "That is it, ooh you do not know who you're dealing with!" Jynx growled out and began stomping her way over to the trio as Azune, Mindy and Rohan stepped back from the approaching Jynx, Azure then looked back down to her hands and tried firing off the flames again…but nothing happened. Then tries a couple more times of throwing her hands forward to get the flames to activate or fire off.
"Azune, you need to focus on your powers! Remember, its mental thinking!" Mindy exclaimed, having Azune look at her and then back to her hands, "Won't work if you're constantly panicking." then backed up and closed her eyes shut as Azune enlarged her head shouting back.
"YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?!" Then thrust one arm towards Jynx, "Kind of hard to stay calm while having a super villain march towards you with the intent of killing!"Then all three ducked when Jynx fired off her powers, causing some of the machinery behind the group to explode and crumble into pieces. "Oh forget to go and run!" Azure said and then hisses and falls to her knees, as Rohan and Mindy quickly go to her side.
"You nuts, you're too injured Azune, we need to get you out of here!" Mindy exclaimed as the kitsune slapped their hands away, panting and breathing heavily while looking up to them with one eye closed.
"And risked you too going to the hospital?! No way- please go!" She demanded, having Rohan and Mindy to grit their teeth, to ducking lightly when another wave of power came soaring towards them, followed by electric orbs and chairs that barely missed them. "GO!" Azure shouted and shoved them away, as she forced herself up and began doing her best to limp away and run from the hive five.
Mindy and Rohan were about to give chase but paused when, well Jynx ran past them after their friend, to then a red looking weapon came flying in front of Jynx causing her to slide to a stop, while then looking upwards. Then gritting her teeth and glaring harshly, "You guys…" she growled and had Mindy, Rohan and Azune, who stopped running but still holding her sides, to turn and look towards the upper levels of the mall and saw.
"The Teen Titans!" all three shouted at once and saw how serious they were, with Starfire, Raven, Beastboy, Cyborg and Robin all looking down at the three hive members, who glared back but smiled.
"Well it was getting dull trying to attack an unwilling fighter, how about you bastards! Want to really test us." Laughed Jynx, as the team hardened their looks with Beastboy first to hop down to ground level with Cyborg and thrust an arm out.
"Oh please, like you all can beat us, we beat you like- 100 times! Now picking on innocent civilians? You'd think", though Beastboy ducked at the last second when a grenade was launched at him courtesy of Gismo, having Beastboy and Cyborg to look behind them and Cy laughing lightly as he joked to his friend.
"You know BB, that villains don't care what us heroes have to say right?"
Beastboy laughed with a sheepish grin, "Yeah true, what did I expect from the hive!" Then quickly turned around as Robin landed in front of them and extended his pole arm.
"Alright Titans go!" Robin shouted as everyone charged ahead and went to battle it out with the hive members, Starfire swooped down towards Rohan, Mindy and Azune as she announced to them.
"Friends go and get to safety, let us handle the Hive!" Star giggled out while flying into the battle that was taking place, having the three friends nod softly to Starfire, while trying to also relax and calm themselves down, while then facing each other. Although when they look back to the battle, they noticed something was off?
"Wait, where's Jynx?" Azure asked and then felt herself going cold before feeling someone's hand resting on her back and felt a powerful blast erupted against her and sent her flying past her friends and outside of the food court! Causing the friends to whip their attention in panic of where Azune got blasted too, then face towards her attacker!
"Right her fox breath," Growled Jynx as she began giving chase to Azune, who after rolling and tumbling outside of the food court, managed to stop herself by standing upright, slamming her hands onto the floor and sliding to a stop. Then widened her eyes before grunting out and coughing some blood out from her mouth, grabs her side and began running awya once again but now with limping movements, her clothes slightly torn and cut from the constant attacks she been getting as Jynx gave chase to her, trying to use her powers to malfunction some of the objects and machinery within the mall halls to hurt and attack Azune, as the girl squeaked and yelped out to even shielding herself when soda cans from vending machines began firing off towards her.
Some water fountains exploded and shot water towards her, while running left to right to evade some of the hanging ornaments above her that crashed down and splintered all over the floor, to even the hanging lamps and lights that exploded and sent glass her way.
"AZUNE!" Mindy and Rohan shouted, causing Raven who grabbed some tables and tossed it towards Mammoth and Gizmo, turned her head over her shoulders and hardened her look. Then faces forward to the two members, as everyone was doing their best to stop them or fight back on them.
"Robin, we have an issue!" Raven called out, as Robin blocked a powerful punch from Mammoth and slid across the floor- then whipping around to see what Raven meant and saw Jynx chasing down the fox girl from earlier. He gritted his teeth while saying.
"Raven, Starfire go and handle Jynx, we got Mammoth and Gizmo." He said as he grabbed one of his tools and grabbed what looked to be smoke pallets, that he quickly tossed it down on the ground- creating a massive smokescreen to happen. In order to give Star and Raven an edge to leave without being noticed, as the two girls nodded their heads and gave chase towards Jynx and Azune, making Mindy and Rohan to shield themselves from the harsh winds that they created and opened their eyes- praying they can reach their friend in time without her being seriously injured.
Xxx
Azune, who was running as fast as she could despite the limp she has currently, is panting and breathing heavily covered in slight sweat as she was straining every muscle in her body. To keep herself moving and fleeing from Jynx who was giving chase herself but mockingly skipping and throwing her powers forward, purposely missing Azune and having it erupt and explode some of the devices, machinery and even some of the foundation of the mall to hit or erupt near Azune. Which has Azune staggering to her left whale shielding her head and ducking low, to then staggering to the right as she yelps when she feels her hips hit against an edge of one of the plotted pants causing her to spina round softly, but still pressed on.
"You know if you want to make things easier for yourself, you should just stop and face me." Jynx chortled out as she swung her right arm from left to right, sending a powerful wave-like energy beam towards Azune's feet, causing it to explode from the floor behind her and sending Azune into the air! Causing the kitsune to flip forward and land hard onto her back sliding across the floor, while groaning and moaning out in pain as she held one arm over her stomach and began panting heavily, then forced herself with shaky movements to look up and towards Jynx. Having a bit of blood trailing down her mouth while her vision blurred and darkened slightly from all the pain she is receiving from the supervillain.
Azure then began crawling backwards using her elbow to do so, turning her body sideways and weakly trying to grasp the floor in front of her, digging her fingers and nails into the floor trying to get herself up. Making Jynx roll her eyes as she saw Azune trying to get back onto her feet and leans forward with her arms crossed, "Seriously? You're still going to try and run despite how injured you are?" Jynx asked and saw Azune getting up onto her feet, but hung her upper body down and began coughing violently as blood splattered and spilled onto the floor. Having Jynx to stare for a while and soften her eyes silently, thinking to herself how they may have overdone it for the fox girl?
Though she will give Azune credit where it's due, she is handling this way better than most citizens out there. Let alone, she being able to handle such punishment is quite impressive. "Is it because of Brainiac experimenting on her? That she is able to handle this much punishment…" Jynx thought to herself while shaking her head, then opened her eyes seeing Azune continuing to run towards an opening of the shopping mall where it splits into two pathways. "Eh having too much fun with this." Jynx giggled and hugged her arms close together and slashed them in an X formation! Sending the energy waves towards the crossing bridge above, causing the bridge to crack and crumble apart and begin falling fast and hard onto the ground below! Forcing Azure to slide to a stop and then get blown back by the whiplash of the debris, causing her to fall onto her back again and cover her eyes, then removing her arm from them and gasping out seeing her path was blocked.
Azure whimpered lightly and quickly turned around towards Jynx who had quite the devious smile on her face and skipping her way over towards the girl. Having Azune to get back up onto her feet and grit her teeth as she began stepping backwards- twitching her ears and swishing her tail about, before yelping and covering herself when Jynx did a few cartwheels, sending more energy waves towards the girl as they purposely missed and went past her on both sides- feeling the wind and explosions erupting behind her, causing her tail to get blown along with her fur as Azune swung her arms down and stared at Jynx.
"Now…how should we-" Jynx began saying as she lifted her hand up but yelped, as something stuck her hand, forcing her to retract it close to her and grab onto it with her other hand. Then clicking her tongue and spinning around, seeing it was Raven and Starfire! "Great there here…" she muttered out and turned left and right, dodging the star bolts from Star fire, while then flip kicking backwards to dodge Raven's magic, while sending her own energy attacks back towards the girls. She then handstand jumped and twirled in the air sending more miniature energy blades at the two girls.
Who which Starfire floated still and fired energy out from her eyes to defend herself, while raven went and summoned her magic surround her in a shield, defending herself from the energy blasts and then quickly shrank the shield and had it all focused in front of her palms and thrusted her arms forward- firing off a black orb of magic towards Jynx. Who clicks her tongue and quickly cartwheels towards her right and jumps into the air, to evade the explosion when it makes contact with the floor. Then yelps when she gets two star bolts hitting her in the stomach and chest! Sending her flying backwards and passing Azune, who turned towards the girl who hit against the bridge she destroyed to block Azunes path.
The kitsune took this chance to try and run forward and towards Raven and Starfire, as she will be more safe around them. But yelps and falls onto the floor as he leg gives in and the pain catches up with the girls as she hiccuped and teared up slightly from the immense pain she is receiving. This had Star and Raven widening their eyes and quickly flew towards the girl, with Raven standing behind Azune, while Star flew close and knelt down to help the girl up and wrapped her arm around her shoulders.
"Are you okay friend?" Star asked as she saw how much pain the fox girl is in. "You need medical treatment, are you able to walk?" Star asked as Azune raised a hand telling Star to give her a minute as she was trying to catch her breath.
"Starfire, I wouldn't move her too much. The bruises and injury she seems to have, suggest we don't move her or jolt her around. Or else it will just worsen./" Raven said, as she faced back forward and saw Jynx regaining consciousness. Star whined lightly as she looked to the raven and back to the kitsune, who opened her eyes and smiled weakly.
"Yes please…don't move me too much. I, I,". Azure then hissed when she tried to stand up but her back screamed out in pain, causing her and Star to drop slightly as the alien girl got even more concerned and worried for the fox girl. "I'm fine…mentally fine, physically…not so much. Just…just need to sit." Azure said and hisses lightly as Starfire nodded, helping her back to the floor and having her getting into a sitting position.
Jynx huffed after recovering and glared towards the two girls. Then hummed as a radio call was made to her, "Jynx get out of there- Mammoth and I had fled from the Titans dolts, you should do the same!" Came Gizmo voice through her comm. Having Jynx growled irritably, she was having fun too- let alone was quite the peaceful day too.
"Looks like our playdate has to be rescheduled, fox girl.." Jynx cackled out having Azune lift her head towards her as Raven got more tense in case Jynx tried to do something. "But before I leave," She said as things got intense as they weren't sure if Jynx was having something up her sleeve, then everyone turned Super Deformed as Azune, Star, Raven had dotted eyes when Jynx asked. "What shampoo or conditioner do you use? I must know, because it looks like it works well for you."
Azure blanked a couple of times while then answering, "err…I used the Cherry blossom shampoo and honey syrup conditioner." Which has Starfire looking at her and widening her eyes.
"You too, friend!? I use those combinations as well!" Star giggled ut having Raven to have quite the deadpan expression and shook her head while closing her eyes. Jynx let out couple of giggles seeing that even Teen Titans use the same as Azune, but figured to get going and leave as she got what she wanted as well had fun.
"Alright then- see ya!" Jynx then reaches into her pocket and grabs some flash bangs and throws it close towards the trio and causing a blinding light to erupt from the bombs, blinding everyone for a brief couple of seconds as Jynx makes her escape and can't be seen anywhere.
The two girls sighed lightly and began relaxing, with Raven turning around and looking towards Azune, who definitely seemed to be worse for wear, with bruises here and there, bit of her fur was ruffled and had slight blood coming out from her mouth- while seemingly flinching and twitching within Stars touch as no doubt, the girl body was aching all over. "Hold still, I may not be a doctor, but I know some basic healing." Raven said and approached the girl, wrapping one of her bangs over her ears and knelt down. Lifting her hands up and reaching forward and had her magic covering her hands and touching against Azune, causing the girl to hiss out and flinch softly. "Sorry, the best I can do is just gotta push through."
"Yeah su-sure!" Azure hisses some more and clenched her teeth but relaxes when some muscles popped courtesy of Starfire- finding where it was hurting and gently twisted or pulled her body in a certain way, causing relaxation to shoot out her entire being, having Azune hiss loudly and widening her eyes- then exhaling in relief. "Aww….thanks, I needed that."
"Anytime friend!" Starfire giggled out and had Raven smiling softly as this made the healing process a lot easier. "Friend, do you think you could introduce yourself?" ThenStarfire gasps, "Oh where are my manners!" She then giggled and tilted her head cutely, "My name is Starfire! This is Raven!" Star introduced themselves, as Azune laughed.
Azure smiled and giggled softly, "My name is Kira Azune…my friends back at the food court are Mindy and Rohan." She introduced herself to them while hissing when Raven reached a more injured spot, "we were coming here to get camp equipment for a camping trip we had planned…" She began saying while calming down from the injury and sighs. "But…after what happened today. I don't know if what we bought is still intact or not." Azure said softly while then folding her ears back, "I just want a normal day to happen…bad enough I was taken and experimented on by Brainiac for three weeks, now getting involved with villains at the mall."
The two girls look at her and then soften their looks, as Starfire gently rests a hand on her shoulder. "Hey cheer up friend, Azure. I am sure things will go well for you and your friends." Then smiled, "I bet your things are a-okay and didn't get destroyed." Giggle the girl, having Azune shift her gaze towards her and then back to the floor. While then feeling Raven stopping her spell.
"That's all I can do for now, the more serious ones you have to just take it easy for now and not do anything serious." Raven said and flipped her hood over her head and revealed her face. "But like Starfire said, things will get better- much I know the Hive members do cause trouble. I don't think they had any plans to rampage or attack. But…"
"I accidentally slipped on a ketchup packet and caused the steaming hot Pizza pie, which I was going to have for lunch. Flew right into the three and burn them badly, thus why they rampaged." Azure quickly said, figuring the two would be curious what set them off. Having Star and Raven to widen their eyes as Star chuckled softly.
"Eheh, guess-guess that would send anyone off like that if they had hot pizza hitting them." Star said, trying to lighten up the mood. Although, the two now know the reason and heard the reasoning for the trio attacking her and her friends. "Although, why was Jynx targeting you? Does it feel weird to do so?"
Azure shrugs and sighs, "Well for some reason my body reacted before I could think, trying to stop her and Gizmo from damaging or ruining some of the stores. And I guess…with that question at the end there," she said with a sweat drop. "I guess…she really wanted to know what kind of shampoo and conditioner I used." Azure, Raven and Starfire then look down the path they ran through and saw the other Titans joining up with them, alongside Azune friends as Azune sighed and looked down to her lap. Softly swishing her tail left to right.
Xxx
After everything had calm down and the two female Titan members continued standing beside Azune, as Starfire insisted that she make sure Azune will be guided safely out of the mall with Raven standing close by or hovering close by, making sure Starfre doesn't exhaust their friend or accidentally pull a muscle form her. Mindy and Rohan were carrying their bags, as they thank the Titans for saving their friend and stopping the Hive members.
Even go into detail like Azune did with the girls, about what set them off and such as Mndy and Azune were softly putting their bags into the trunk, with Starfire helping out. "I see." Robin hummed out, he was already informed ahead of time by Batman and the justice league, about what happened to those who got caught by Brainiac, alongside Superman and Green Arrow telling them about Azune. "Well it's good to hear you were all safe, even though your thighs got bad. You still went out of your way in making sure to protect your friends." Robin said to Azune, who closed the trunk and hummed at the boy.
"Huh?" Azure said and then blushes and looks away, "I..I didn't do anything- just…just did what anyone would do."
"Are you kidding!" Beast boy chuckled and laughed while wrapping his hands behind his head, "anyone who will risk their lives and make sure their friends are safe. Especially to supervillains, it is amazing in my books! Not only that but you also shot fire from your hands, now that's awesome!" Chuckled BB.
"He's not wrong," Cyborg began saying and laughing with his friend. "Takes a lot of courage for someone to stand up to people like them. With or without powers," Then extend his fist forward smiling, "should give yourself more credit!" He said and watched the blush on Azune's face brighten more, as she was being overwhelmed with these unneeded praises and gently fist bump Cyborg's fist.
"Oh yes friend! It is truly amazing to hear how much you cared for your friends!" Star giggled out, "We should do the hanging out that people say on this planet and get to know one another!" She then grabs Raven who grunted and groaned softly, "Raven and I could even show you around the Titan towers!"
Robin chuckled and then grabbed his communicator as it went off. "Well, we will have to make a rain check on that one. The Justice league is asking for our assistance, some Brainiac drones have been spotted down in the east-northern plaza of Metropolis." he said and began heading out towards the T-ship.
"Aww man…ever since that robot invaded the planet, been none-stop work after work." Groaned Beastboy while slunting his way to the T-ship. "When will we get a break, I have video games I need to complete." Then chuckled as Cyborg patted his back and headed to the ship.
"Hear ya BB, but that will have to wait, time to head to Metropolis!" Cyborg chuckled out as he leapt up into the ship and got into the cockpit.
"See ya friend Azune," Starfire giggled out and hugged the girl in a tight hug, causing Azune to his slightly but laughed still for how friendly Starfire is, as she let her go and waved one last time and flew to the ship. Raven being the next to say her goodbyes, while then placing something in Azune' hand.
"These are some herbal remedies to help that healing of yours." Raven informed and gave a small smile. "Should help relax your muscles if you apply it at night, as well as using it for baths too." She then patted Azune's shoulder while whispering, "things will get better, just keep your head up." Then began flying towards the ship as she and her friends watched them take off and zoom into the air towards the direction of Metropolis. Having the three friends to wave lightly and then let out a couple of breaths of air.
Then Azune hummed when she suddenly saw what looked to be a Pizza box in Mindy's hands, "Here, you barely got to eat and after all that craziness. Your sugar might be very low, better eat before we head out."
"I also grabbed some energy drinks for you too, Azune," Rohan said next while lifting up some plastic bags, as he goes opening the back seat door and places it inside, having quite a caring smile on his face, with Mindy happily placing the box in Azune's hands and forcing her to go and sit down.
"B…?" Azure tried to argue but softened her look when Mindy and Rohan smiled at her.
"No worries! We have our own food with us too, we're going to eat in the car with ya and just relax, without anyone or any supervillain bothering us." Chuckled Mindy as she shuts the door and began walking around to the right side of the front seat and passenger side. With Roha, opening up the driver's seat door and entering inside with them, as they all got comfortable and got out their drinks and food- to then Mindy exclaimed, "BUT man! How cool was it to see the Teen Titans in action!"
Then looks at Azune, "Not only that but having Raven and Starfire be with you and checking over your injuries, must've been spoken too a lot by Star!" Making Azune to chuckle lightly and nod her head.
"Not as cool as Azune summoning those flames and blasting that pot foundation into millions of pieces with her fire powers when Mammoth threw that at us!" Rohan chuckled out getting Mindy to nod her head and was eating her food, as Azune just drowns them out for now and goes eating her food and drinking her drink, as she looks out the window and just stares in the direction of where the Titans left off.
"Not only that but Azune handled all three of them at once, yeah she got hurt. But saw how she was able to dodge some of those attacks, while even bending and slipping past them with those amazing moves!"
This had Azune lifting her ears and stared at Mindy when she mentioned that and then looked back towards the mall. "Yeah, it was almost like she's been doing it all her life- guess having track skills really helped out huh Azune." Rohan said while looking in the rear view mirror. Having the girl shift her eyes at him and then laugh softly.
"Guess so." Azure said modestly and resumed eating her pizza, going over her thoughts for a while and laughed to herself. Despite what just transpired in the mall, hearing her friends singing her praises despite how scared and frightened Azune was, did lift her spirits up to even hearing the Titans praising her for keeping the Hive members' attention on her and not her friends? She couldn't help but feel her spirits lifting up as she said openly, "You know what?" Having her friends hum as Mindy had a mouthful of food in her mouth, as Azune smiled at them despite the injuries or slight bruising she still has given a genuine smile in what felt like years. "This was actually not a bad day!"
Getting her friends to blink their eyes and stare towards one another, to then beaming brightly too as she is right! Despite how bad it got, it was actually quite the eventful day today and everything turned out good for once, and nobody got seriously injured…minuz Azune of course, but overall they agreed as Azune went back to eating her pizza and smiled wit bit of tears flowing through her eyes, "I don't know what I would do without these two…I am glad I protected them."
All she can do is keep moving forward and look towards the future, as destiny has something in store for her as well as Azune, going to have quite the future adventures now her powers have awakened, what waits for our heroine's future?
To be continued…
