So Ruby found herself bouncing on her toes on the edge of the diving board. She bounced once more then sprung high up into the air, doing a flip before straightening out into a perfect dive. She broke the surface without so much as a ripple, but her body stiffened the second she was totally immersed. The red mist gathered around her, then she shot out of the water as a different person. Her red hair streaming behind her, Ruby crashed back down. Landing with a splash that drenched her teammates.
"Show off," Kaldur muttered.
Everybody else just gaped.
"Hey, Kaldur," Ruby called. "I dare you to do better."
He grinned. "You know I will win."
She shrugged. "I just want to see you do your trick again."
They had spent a couple of hours swimming around and attempting to out-do each other's tricks when Ruby swam over to M'gann and asked her to link her up with Robin.
"He's awake," Ruby murmured. "I have to go." She pulled herself up out of the pool and waited for the change. She didn't make a sound, but M'gann saw sweat beading on her face. Then she stood up and dashed back to the infirmary, Miss Martian right on her tail.
Robin relaxed visibly when Ruby entered the room. "Where were you?"
She smiled at him. "I was swimming with the team. We didn't want to wake you up, so I decided to go show them my tail. To make up for keeping them out of here while you slept."
He nodded. "Will you help me up?"
She hesitated, a frown on her face. "I'm not sure you should be out of bed yet..." He gave her puppy dog eyes and she sighed. "Fine. On one condition: You start getting tired and you go right back to bed."
He agreed reluctantly and Ruby helped him stand up. M'gann came over and assisted them.
"How are you feeling?" she asked.
He gave her a forced smile. "I'm good. Really. Just need..." he hissed in pain as he took a step. "Just need to work out some of the soreness."
"Why don't we watch a movie?" Ruby suggested. "Megan, do you mind telling the others where we're going to be?"
"Done."
Robin looked over at her. "What movie are we watching?"
"What movie do you want to watch?" Ruby replied.
Robin grinned. "Lord of the Rings."
