Sleepover!
Kala Pov.
On the way home, Alex brought up the subject of the mute girl knowing our identities.
"I don't like knowing that there is someone who can defeat us easily, AND she knows who we are." I stuck up for her,
"You're just salty that you were beaten in one hit! I thought your only weakness was kryptonite!"
"It is! But apparently if I'm defeated in battle, I feel pain?!" Alex questions.
"And here I thought you were the fan favorite, because you're invincible!" Sly exclaimed.
"What's your excuse?! You were downed quicker than him!" Castor cuts in.
"Hey, she knew where my power source is! I can't help the increased pain I feel there! Katz, what exactly downed you?!" Sly defends.
"She hit the joints between my human side, and my metal parts." Katz says quietly.
"What?! She knows where they are?!" Steven asks.
"Apparently." Katz looks uncomfortable, probably because he's a tiny bit sensitive about being part machine.
"Umm... Is this a bad time to mention, I kinda invited her over to our house..." I trail off.
"What?! She could probably kill us in our sleep!" Sly objects.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't aware she was a threat!" I retort. Suddenly I spot her, right behind us! I start to stutter,
"O-Oh I di-didn't see you th-there..." She pulls out a whiteboard.
"No one does." Is written on it. I feel so bad! She seems like an interesting person, but she doesn't even try to make friends! Sly starts to apologize,
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it!" The girl just continues to walk, writing.
"If it causes conflict, I'll leave." I shake my head.
"No, if it causes conflict, THEY will leave!" She seems to consider this, and nods. The rest of the trip is done in silence. When we arrive she immediately looks around, infatuated with the house. She writes,
"A big hero must have given you a mission. Most hero salary isn't enough to cover this." I question her way of knowing, but I nod. I lead her up to my room, it is full of posters, and suits! I squeal a bit at the prospect of having another girl around,
"Ahh, lets have a girls day!" She nods, excitedly. I guess she doesn't do this often. We end up inviting the others into the room, and playing truth or dare.
"Do we have to?" Sly complains.
"Yep, get your butt over here." I snap at him.
"Fine... Newbie, truth or dare?" She starts to write,
"Truth, and I've been in this business longer than you. I'm no newbie."
"Well you won't give us your name, so I need to use one. Wait, what do you mean by, this business?" She writes,
"Well I'll accept the title. Since you asked while I'm under truth, I guess I have to answer. I mean the superhero business. I've dealt with them quite a bit. I'm not one, but they call me if they are in trouble." Our parents know her, and trust her?! Everybody looked at her shocked.
"What do you mean?!" Sly asks.
"My truth was used. I don't have to answer." Newbie writes. "Kala truth or dare?"
"Dare!" She pauses for a moment, before writing,
"You're Wolverine's daughter right? Go one non school day without claws." I was a bit confused about her method of finding out. But I nod.
"Katz, truth, or dare?" He glances at Newbie in confusion, then answers,
"Dare." He says tentatively.
"Exchange shirts with the person to your left." I realize that the person to his left is Newbie! I start to shake my head, but she raises her whiteboard,
"Fine. It gives me an excuse to wear a baggy shirt. Where is the bathroom?" Katz leads her off to it, and we sit in almost silence for two minutes. When they return Katz is looking really uncomfortable in a purple tank top that doesn't fit him. At all. The tank top is little more than a necklace at this point! Sly chuckles a bit when he sees Katz. Meanwhile Newbie looks super happy in a big grey t-shirt that goes down to her knees! She sits down. Katz just mumbles,
"Should of picked truth..." He turns to Castor, "Truth or dare?"
Castor starts to laugh before answering, "Truth! Hehe..." Katz glares at him.
"Have you ever stolen?" Castor looks like a deer in headlights!
"I umm... well... there was this one chicken that I just needed to have. It was from a criminal!" The group looks at him, shocked. "It was a chicken! Just a chicken! Besides I named it Thundermuffin, and put the name tag on, and everything. But it still ran away!" The group laughs it off. "Umm... Steven truth or dare!?" He asks quickly.
"Truth." He states.
"What has been your worst first date?" Castor asks.
"Well there was this one girl, she wouldn't stop talking about my hairstyle. She didn't like it, and she kept saying I should get a buzz cut. I paid the waitress fifty bucks to spill my drink on me, so I could have an excuse to leave." I start to laugh,
"That must have been a wound to your pride!" He glares at me,
"It was, Newbie truth or dare?"
"Dare. I'm no chicken." She writes.
"Take the mask off." We all get angry at his rudeness. She just nods, she starts to untie the back! As soon as she does it she turns around. "Hey, no fair!" Steven protests. She puts it back on, and writes,
"Be specific next time." I notice she knocks her hoodie down a bit, and I see a lock of black hair. I don't think anyone else saw, though. She straightens the hood, hiding it. At that moment, a crack of thunder boomed outside. Thor? Or just random lightning? Probably the latter. We head to our rooms after that. Newbie slept in the guest room. I drifted to sleep, wondering whether Newbie is the person Thor wanted us to meet. She is certainly interesting enough.
I wake up to the sound of Sly screaming angrily.
