Unexpected Allies

Chapter 17: Too Good to be True

Damian is totally photo bombing this picture^

Manette's POV

I laid on the top of the fridge, a gray blanket on top of me so that I blended in with the wall behind us.

My victim walked in, his eyes red and hair rustled. Very handsome, but all attractive Robins must be ruined for the greater good.

I watched as my victim walked innocently toward the counter, where a pile of innocent blueberry muffins were waiting innocently.

The victim looked around tiredly, probably wondering if his gorgeous girlfriend was around, but he shrugged it off when he saw no one.

I rubbed my evil hands together as he grabbed the muffin and bit into it.

Immediately, the innocent boy recoiled, dropping it as ghost pepper juice was sprayed into his mouth. He yelped, running to the fridge and throwing open the door.

I covered my mouth, shaking with silent giggles at the priceless look on my prey's face grew ever more frantic.

He grabbed the milk and started chugging, dripping some of it down the sides of his mouth.

Next to me, my brand new computer screen changed, alerting me as another victim was walking toward the kitchen.

I jumped off of my perch, landing on Damian and tackling him to the ground. He tried to resist, but I covered his mouth and held him out of sight behind the counter.

"Ooh, muffins again. How did we ever survive without Manette's cooking?" Jaime wondered.

I felt slightly guilty that he was praising me right before-

"AHHHH! MY MOUTH!" He screamed, "NO! DO NOT ACTIVATE DEFENSIVE MEASURES! MILK! MILK!"

He ran right past us, throwing open the fridge doors in panic. Damian gained the upper hand and shoved me off, grabbing the milk as Jaime turned around.

"MILK!" Jaime yelled as Damian quickly thrust it into his hands.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was Jaime greedily gulping down the jug. I stood up just as he finished it off.

Slowly, the two of them turned and glared at me.

"We getting revenge, ese?" Jaime asked.

"Absolutely."

I turned around and ran for dear life.

Kid Flash suddenly turned the corner. I shoved him to the side, but Red Arrow was right behind him. He grabbed the back of my shirt.

"Thank you, Roy." Damian smirked.

I glared, "You all suck."

"You put ghost peppers in blueberry muffins! You can't ruin something so sacred!" Jaime exclaimed.

I smiled meekly and Roy dropped me.

"Well... if it makes you feel any better, I did something nice too." I told them.

"Nice as in non-posioned food?" Wally asked.

I nodded, walking to the kitchen.

"I hope you know food won't make me forgive you." Damian said, grabbing my hand.

I opened the oven, revealing multiple trays of muffins, eggs, bacon, and pretty much everything the Titans would want.

"You're forgiven." Wally decided, using his super-speed to put it all on the table.

"She didn't even do it to you." Jaime rolled his eyes, holding a piece of bacon skeptically.

Wonder Girl and Bumblebee walked over, laughing about something.
