A/N: Er, I dunno if this is a Kaldur/Verena moment, but she does spend time with him. I could always write another one for you if this doesn't suit your taste, piggythelaw. Also, a WARNING: this is the product of myself being sugar-high with no real food the whole day... only junk food.

"Recognized: Black Falcon: B-Zero-Two."
I hummed quietly to myself as I entered the Cave, which had yet to be bustling with energy that came from Wally and Robin... and occasionally me.
I decided to work up a decent amount of sweat by heading to the training room, but as I got closer, I could hear some grunts and some water splashing. I smiled to myself. Kaldur was inside.
I skipped into the room and chirped out, "Morning, Kaldur!"
The Atlantean stopped in mid-strike and glanced at me. "Good morning, Black Falcon."
"No need to be so formal, Kaldur!" I grinned, looking up at the older boy. "Just call me Fal." Then a thought struck me. "Hey! If I called you Kal, it could rhyme with my Fal. Awesome!"
"You're quite... chipper today," Kaldur looked at me.
"Robin and I had a wrestling match earlier," I waved off. "That always gets my blood pumping. Y'know with the adrenaline rush. I also had some cookies."
"I see," Kaldur mused, nodding his head. "Would you care to join me in a light sparring match?"
"Sure!" I agreed. "No weapons? Just hand-to-hand?"
"Let's move to the Mission Room," Kaldur suggested.
I nodded in agreement and followed him out of the place and into the center of the Cave, where the platform lit up once we stepped on it.
"As you've said before," Kaldur said, "no weapons."
I got into a defensive stance, arms in front of me, my feet ready to move if needed. My eyes focused on Kaldur through my dark sunglasses. I probably should've worn jeans instead of a skort, but whatever.
Kaldur never made this first move. Instead, I got impatient and anxious with all of the sugar and adrenaline pumping through my veins. I ran towards him, aiming a punch. He moved to block it, but at the last second, I dropped to the ground, moving to trip him.
He jumped, but I grabbed his feet and pulled him to the ground roughly. He kicked my legs from under me and I stumbled, letting go of his foot. He kicked me once and I slid slightly before pushing myself off the platform.
I did a bridge with my body as I dodged a kick and then transformed it into a back flip. I kicked Kaldur in the chin, and he went tumbling to the ground. I almost lost my balance because of that, so I did a couple more flips to steady myself.
Kaldur, thankfully, didn't recover that quickly and I ran forward, launching myself in the air before ultimately tackling Kaldur to the ground. We wrestled for a few seconds, but since I was used to doing this with Dick, I found the upper hand and pinned Kaldur to the ground.
I held him there as tightly as I could, making sure to block his feet so he couldn't kick me off. Once three seconds had passed, the Computer announced Aqualad's failure.
I grinned to myself triumphantly, before I heard the Zeta-Tubes whirring.
"Recognized: Robin: B-Zero-One. Kid Flash: B-Zero-Four."
I jumped off Aqualad and skipped over to the Zeta-Beams, and quickly found my target. I launched myself at Robin, and he caught me just in time. "Hi, Robin!" I chirped.
"Whoa there," Robin chuckled, snaking his arms around my waist to hold me steady. "Y'know, you should get hyper more often. You're much more affectionate when you do."
In response to that, I snuggled deep into his chest, rubbing my nose against the soft fabric of his designer-brand t-shirt. "You smell good."
Robin continued to chuckle, and hugged me tighter. "Thanks. You always smell nice too." I felt him move slightly, and saw that he noticed something. "Beat Kaldur, did you?"
"Yup!" I grinned, smiling up at him.
From my angle, I could see his blue eyes scan the room, before his eyes moved to focus on me. His sunglasses barricaded the view I had of his eyes, but I knew they were sparkling bright. "Great job, V," he said quietly so only I could hear.
