Sorry it took so long to update. Had a little trouble trying to figure out what to put in this chapter. Enjoy.
I open my eyes, groan and close them again. 'Why is everything so white... I hate white. Maybe I should have left the lamp off.' After I try opening my eyes again with the same results I decide to just lay there and try to go back to sleep. However that is not meant to be since Megan comes bustling in. The perfect picture of happiness and cheerfulness. In other words a morning person. 'I hate morning people.'
While turning all the lights She on she almost sings,"Good morning Katniss." I moan and hide my head under my pillow. That did nothing to stop her though. "Katniss, it's past 12 p.m. and you went to bed at 3 yesterday. Shouldn't you be getting up?" That's when I finally snap.
I pick my head up turn to look at Megan and tell,"What part of DARK Sorceress didn't you understand?! I'm nocturnal, now leave me alone!" I place my head back under the pillow. The sheets get yanked off of me and I pick my head up from under the pillow to find the team standing around the bed. Conner having the sheets in his hands.
"Nevertheless, there is no reason to talk to Megan like that." I snap my head over the Kaldur and scowl trying to think of a comeback. Then I decide to give up since my brain has decided to leave me stranded like it does every time I wake up. So I dramatically throw myself back onto the bed and place my arm over my eyes. "The world hates me..." I pick my head up when I hear laughter and find that it's coming from Robin. I stick my tongue out and sit up rubbing my eyes.
Evidently my brain starts working again and I realize something.
"Why is everyone in my room? Especially the boys." This sends the boys hurrying to get out of my room. "Conner," I call sweetly, and he turns around. "I wouldn't go pulling sheets off people when they're in bed anymore. They might be sleeping in the nude." After saying that it seems he can't get out of my room fast enough. Artemis chuckles, "That's different." I grin and take a deep breath then stretch. I turn to Megan,"Sorry about snapping, I'm kinda grumpy when I first get up." She smiles,"It's ok. We'll let you get ready for today. You know how to get to the living room?"
I shrug, "I can find it. Probably." Artemis leaves the room with a snicker and Zatanna following after with crossed arms and a scowl on her face. Megan leaves last with a slight wave and shuts the door. I sit in bed for another moment before getting up and decide to explore the bathroom.
After a good many minutes of wandering the halls I groan. 'Why didn't I ask for directions?' I stop walking and sigh. I cross my arms and lean against the wall.
'Katniss? Where are you?' I sigh in my head then reply,'I'm lost. Care to come try and find me?' She laughs in my head,'I'll be right there.' Surprisingly she was there within a minute. I grin then say, "Aww, you found me. Suppose I'll have to find a better hiding place next time."
She laughs and says,"Come on, I just started making lunch." I follow after her who to my surprise is actually very fast. "What are you making?" She turns to look at me never slowing down. "I was thinking about sandwiches." I grin, "Yummy." I then turn to trying to memorize hallways the rest of the way.
When we finally make it to the kitchen I let out a laugh and make a dash for the refrigerator. I yank the door open and begin rummaging through the food. I find a couple of Apple's one that I bite and keep in my mouth and the other in my hand. I then find some turkey and take that out as well. I then close the doors and turn around to find the team watching me a few had confused looks on their faces but Wally had a joyful look on his face.
"Ha! And you guys said I was the only one who does that." I blink in confusion and feel an arm slung over my shoulder. I turn my head to find Wally grinning. My instincts kick in and I elbow him in the stomach and then kick his hip effectively knocking him away.
The team stares at him then at me and I shrug and walk over to the table and place the food in my hands down. "He was in my bubble." I turn to look at him. "Unless I invite you into my personal space that's what is going to happen." I scowl at him then head back into the kitchen.
"Where do you keep the plates? Oh never mind." I reach up and grab one from the shelf and head back to the table. I sigh and turn to look at the team. "Stop staring." I look over to Wally and sigh,"Look, sorry I should have explained but reflexes kicked in. Sorry if I hurt you. Now would you all STOP STARING!"
Everyone turns away and go back to whatever they were doing. Except for Robin who comes and sits by me. "So, how long have you known Batman?" I sigh and put some turkey on my plate and without looking at him I say,"A good while. He put me in with the Joker cause I grew up with stuff like that so I'm kind of used to it." I take my pocket knife out and start cutting the Apples.
"Wait, you grew up with a crazy clown?" I stop and look down for a moment. 'Oh yeah, a crazy clown. Ok, maybe he wasn't actually a clown but he was pretty darn close to Joker. He got what he deserved.' I nod and say,"My dad was a bit crazy in the head, he died when I was nine and after that I lived on the streets for a little while."
'Well, that was close enough to the truth.' "Oh." Robin replies and remains silent. I put my pocket knife away then turn and throw the two apple cores into the trashcan. I grin then turn back to my plate.
"Wouldn't it have been easier to just eat them off the core instead of cutting them?" Megan asks. I smirk,"maybe but I have a thing against doing that." I take a bite of the turkey then a bite from an apple and laugh at Robin's face. "It's actually very good. You should try it." He shakes his head, stands up and walks over to Zatanna.
I turn my attention back to my food and put my mental shield up so Megan can't hear my thoughts. 'I need to get some info so I can give it to the Light.' I look at everyone considering where to start. 'Wally would likely be easy, maybe Megan. Definitely not Robin, Zatanna, or Artemis... A big maybe on Conner, more so on Kaldur. Work a little of my charm on and maybe I could get something from them.' I sigh and shake my head and focused on my food savoring every bite.
Just then Black Canary comes in and I tense up then force myself to relax. She looks over at me and tilts her head,' probably wondering about my food.' I laugh inside my head but smile at her hoping to fugue out what she wants.
She walks over to me,"Hey there, I'm Black Canary." I nod and continue eating still watching her. "Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to test your abilities to see what you need practice on." I nod again. She nods slowly watching me. "Well, when you're done eating come see me in the training room." I nod once more and she seems to be getting aggravated. I grin and laugh.
Everyone turns to look at me and she crosses her arms looking very angry,"And what is so funny?" I shake my head, "Sorry, I was just wanting to see if you would snap if I didn't say anything." She sighs and drops her arms. "Finish eating." With that she turns and strides out.
Wally zips over to me."Dude, what's wrong with you? She can make your training miserable." I shrug,"I'm just different. Besides I enjoy a challenge." I shove the rest of the food and my mouth and stand up to take care of my plate. I swallow then turn and head towards where Canary went. As I pass I ruffle Wally's hair, "How about you show me where I'm supposed to go so I don't get into anymore trouble." I turn and find Wally walking beside me.
"Sure beautiful." I grin and bump our shoulders. I turn around and wave bye to Megan who smiles in return and I find Artemis glaring at me. I roll my eyes and turn back around and look to Wally. "So... you think I'm beautiful?"
Once again I'm really sorry for the delay. But plus side this is the longest chapter yet. Yay!
Anyway, What did you think of this chapter? The first part is based off one of my favorite parts in the Batman movie 'Batman Begins' Reviews are greatly appreciated.
Question for this chapter: Do you think Katniss has any other abilities other than her magic? Do you think she should have any other abilities?
If you would like to see anything in this story or have any ideas for missions let me know. Thanks for reading.
