"Claaaark!" I scream.

"What?"

"Will you leave already!?"

"Not until I've made sure that you'll be alright."

"Then do it already and go!" I whine.

Clark had a 'hot date' with you know who, and he'd spent the last three minutes writing down emergencies numbers.

"I just need to make sure you can call the fire department in case of a fire"

"I know how to dial 911 Kal" I say to him with a hint of sass.

"It's Clark" he corrected.

"Sure, it is." I roll my eyes, "Now go, you've kept Lois waiting long enough" I say.

"Trust me, I'll go there and she might still not even be done with her shower" Clark silently groans to himself.

"She's a keeper!" I mock loudly.

"I should probably also write down Lois' emergency contact as well," Clack said, taking back the pen he'd just dropped.

I walked up to him, yanked the paper out his hand and was pushing him out the door at the same time.

"W-wait!" he cried out, panicked.

"999-0248-3659" I simply say, calling off Lois's personal phone number.

"Eh?"

"You've literally beaten the damn thing into my head" I inform him. "Now go! Baby cousin, have fun!" I mock.

Clark blushed at that and went out the door.

It wasn't as awkward as it initially was. When I came to earth and found out that my baby cousin had grown into a full-fledged man!? Well, let's just say it's more awkward for him them me. All I had to do was not think about it...or pretend that Clark was a different cousin from Kal.

I slam the door behind him and take a deep breath as I rest my back on the door.

As soon as everything settled down and I was by myself...I felt alone.

Which is weird, coming from me. I loved being alone!

Which was why I tried so hard to always get Clark out of the house. But...after that night out with the ga-...with Dick's gang...

I've been feeling so lonely...

Hanging out with them had been such a blast! I think giddily to myself. Yes, things may have gone off to a rocky start, and I still hate the living guts out of Connor, but the whole night had just been...fun.

I twirled around the apartment at the memory.

Dick had looked so hot in regular clothes, and his face was so gorgeous it should be a sin.

I fight back a squeal to myself, and we danced! We danced together!

My stomach lunched in backflips every time I thought about it.

Granted I had said some dumb shit afterwards-about losing my virginity and such, but to get any sort of reaction out of Dick over me was a joy sent straight from heaven!

"I wonder when we'll all next get together again?" I wonder out loud.

I really wanted to hang out with the gang again, but I didn't want to come off all pathetic and desperate.

I have to play it cool...

I make my way to the kitchen in my blue bum shorts and tight-yet-fade Hello Kitty night shirt. It was basically a tank top at this point.

I pick up the huge recipe book from the counter, "Now what outrageously complex food will I attempt to recreate and make today?"

Diiiiiiiing Dooooooong

"Hm?" I peek up from the book.

Who could that possibly be?

"I don't have any friends" I say, knowing it couldn't be anyone of my non-existent friends who've come to visit me. And Clark wasn't really much of a social butterfly himself to have anyone he knew stop by.

The doorbell rings again and drags me from my thoughts.

"C-coming!!" I call.

A little panicked I walk over to the door, cook book still in hand. Instead of using the peep hole like any normal person would I used my super hearing and listened beyond the door.

I heard three heart beats.

Right as I was on the verge of outright panic...I recognized one of the heart beats.

I break out in cold sweat.

I yank the door open, "DICK!?" I cry out as I saw both Dick, Wally and Connor standing at the doorframe.

Dick gives me a brilliant smile, "Hey Kara" he says nicely.

"What" I simply say to him, fighting back the rapid beating of my own heart.

"Clark called Bats to look after you, Bats says, in not so friendly a-words, that he's not a baby sitter and sent me down to keep an eye on you. And these boneheads decided to tag along," Dick simply says.

My right eye twitches.

"Think of it more like keeping you company then keeping an eye on you. We came to 'hang out'," Wally say as he tries to walk passed me.

I hold my free arm to his chest, "Whoa there, you can't come in!" I say.

"Why?" Connor grunts.

I move the heavy cook book out of the way and point down at my appearance. And it seems like the three guys for the first time saw how I really looked.

Wally just whistle and looks away with a blush, "Someone isn't wearing a bra," he coughs out.

Eik! I forgot all about that!

I press the cook book back to my chest and fight back a blush.

"So?" Connor says harshly, looking down at me with a grimace. "You probably planned it, seeing as your heart was racing when you opened the door."

My blush deepened. I'd rather have them all believe I intended for them to see me without a bra under my top then for them to realize that it was because of Dick that my heart was racing.

"Quit harassing her, you guys" Dick slammed a fist in both their chests and walks into the apartment as I meekly stepped aside for him.

"Uhm...m-make yourselves at home" I blurt out.

"So, where is the big guy anyway?" Wally asked as he plops down on the couch seat.

"Date with Lois" Dick and I both say.

I swiftly turn and head towards the kitchen, pretending to go drop the cook book but in reality, hiding my blush at the cute moment.

I drop the cook book back on the counter and flip it open to a page with a lobster on it, one made with some kind of foreign sauce.

Breathe Kara, breathe!!

I would've slapped my face to keep focus and stop the blushing but Connor would find out. So instead I turned on the tap to fill a pot of water to mask the sounds as I took quick short breathes to stop my erratic breathing.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Now who could that be!?" I instinctively yelled.

I march back to the door, and yank it open, "Wha-"

"Kara!" before I knew who or what I feel arms hold me tightly and a face rested firmly on my head.

Just from the flimsy way the person held me I knew I wasn't in any danger, and as soon as I calmed down I see spikey red hair cloud my vision.

"Hey Jimmy," I say fondly, patting him on the back.

"Jimmy?!" I peep over and see Dick's confused expression staring at us.

Jimmy lets go of me as he looks inside the apartment and noticed an audience looking at us.

"Oh! Hi there!" he says in his usual peppy voice, "Are you friends of Kara?" he asked.

"Close friends" Dick added.

"Well, if you guys are friends of hers, then you're aaall friends of mine!!" he beams.

The 3 guys seated down blinked up at him in a varying mix of emotions from fear to confusion.

"K, who is this?" Dick asked with a point of the finger. He called me K! In front of others!

I've never had an instance of Dick referring to me by the nickname he gave me in front of others, granted, we never really were together infront of other people to begin with.

I open my mouth to answer the question but Jimmy quickly cuts me off.

"I'm her boyfriend!" he says delightfully, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"WHAAAAAT!??"
