Seraphina- Young Justice Fanfic [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter Ten: Help!!! I'm on Fire...Again

The moment that I woke up, I was on fire.You see, my life changed over night but the one thing I didn't expect was the fire abilities or anything. I WOULD think it was cool and all to have fire powers, but when you can't control it and they switch on at the most random times ever, it wouldn't be cool at all. It's like that one friend that nobody likes in the group and they annoy the hell out of everyone. This is what it's like to have this stupid fire erupting from my body.

I got up and slowly walked to my mirror, I saw that the fire was dancing along the side of one arm and one leg. The good part was that fire had lessened since the last time my body errupted into orange flames. But it was still pretty sucky that I had to deal with this. I guess I couldn't be normal for too long.

I sighed as I tiredly put my slippers on and shuffled out the door cautiously trying not catch anything on fire. When I stepped out the door I almost tripped over a small rectangular box  with a bow that was sitting in front of my door. At the time it didn't make any sense since my birthday had already passed, but I picked it up with the hand that wasn't on fire, to see who it was from. Sure enough there was a card taped to the front of the box:

"Didn't want you to miss the epic finale" -R

Of course he did. Of course he had to do that. Don't get me wrong, I was thrilled about this. I was excited because ever since I couldn't get my hands on this book as a child, I had even made my own finale for the series. But now,I would love to see what actually did happen. I walked down the stairs cautiously trying not to catch the book or anything else on fire...

"Good morning Cara!" Megan cheerfully greeted as she was cooking breakfast, "Oh no! The fire is back! Try not to touch anything".

I walked over to the kitchen," Don't worry, I won't" I sighed as I tossed to book onto the counter.

"What's this?" Megan held the book.

"Oh it's nothing-just a book Robin gave to me" I replied not wanting to initiate in any conversation this early in the morning.

"You know-" Megan started," Robin is quite fond of you".

I raised my eyebrows to somehow hide my flustered feelings, "I can tell, but I'm not sure I exactly feel the same way. I mean he's a cool guy and all but I just don't see us happening you know?".

Megan giggled, "That's a shame,I see you two as such a cute couple!"

I grimaced, "well I don't".

Hey, I know that I may seem a bit cold but, I'm just being honest here! Robin is a great friend but I didn't see how we could be more than that.

Just then Wally zoomed in with a taco and a bag of chips along with some popcorn and began eating them.

"Wally I'm making breakfast!" Megan shouted over Wally's loud crunching.

"You know, I can never go on a proper date with this boy!" Artemis entered the room clearly annoyed, "we order food, he eats it in a matter of seconds and then orders more and by the time I'm half way done he's too impatient to wait and wants to leave!"

"Hey! Our dates are romantic!" Wally said as he passionately ate his food.

"Uh...I think you need to get a room" I interrupted, looking at how intensely Wally was consuming his food.

"I think you're right" Artemis agreed, "Wally! We don't want to see you eating your food like that. It's just disgusting!"

"Stop attacking, the Wallman!" Wally exclaimed jokingly as he jumped onto the couch, chips flying out of the bag and landing all over the place.

"Wally!" Both Artemis and Megan scolded.

"Sorry! Sorry! Geez." He responded, quickly picking up his mess.

"Anyways, Wally, where's Robin?" Megan asks glancing at me.

I roll my eyes and she frowns.

"How should I know?" He asked tossing a chip into his mouth, "probably on some mission with Batman".

"Okay, well. I should probably get Superboy and Kaldur up. Breakfast is ready." Megan said, making her way upstairs.

Wally shot up from the couch, "Sweet! More food!"

"So the fires back huh?" Artemis makes her way to where I was standing and sits on the stool next to me.

"Yeah" I say annoyed, not wanting to talk about it.

"It must really be awful. That makes me relived that I don't have any powers. My arrow and my agility are just fine for me" she jokes.

"Yeah yeah, lucky you" I say grabbing a plate and fork.

"Don't worry, we'll figure this whole thing out. Plus, I hear Robin got someone from Star Labs to make you a suit, fire proof and all"Artemis says.

"Zatanna told me" I say remembering how strange she acted when she broke the news to me, "hey, was there anything going on between her and Robin?" I ask quietly.

Artemis looked like she didn't want to say anything. After all, Zatanna and her were pretty close friends, but she decided to spill the story.

"They dated for about a month. It didn't work out. But to be honest,I don't think she's over him despite what she says".

"Oh, that makes a lot of sense then, she's always acted strange when he came up in our conversations"I reply.

"So he comes up into your conversations?" She inquires, clearly interested.

"Well yeah, I mean-"

"Wally!" Artemis suddenly shifts her eyes to the stove where the eggs and bacon sit in their pans, "don't eat everything!"
"Well, a boys gotta eat babe!" He called back.

Artemis rolled her eyes at him and sat on the couch next to Wally.

"Man, I wish I could actually sit down" I say.

"Star Labs will send the suit soon and we will get you help so you can control the fire, but until then just chill" Wally replied.

It's not exactly possible to be chill while on fire.

I know I haven't updated in MONTHS but I've been really busy with school and I've had writers block. I will be writing this story still. It might be at a slower pace than expected though. 😬😬
