Chapter three:
The next few days of training consist of Thor waking me up at seven and eating the most protein filled breakfast before lifting weights and working out for two hours. Then I'm stuck with Bluebeetle and Superboy who makes me run so fast I start flying which resulted in a bunch of bruises. I genuinely think it's payback for the first day. Artemis kept telling them that it won't work and wait for her to show me. Though my time with Artemis has been limited. Zatanna 's power's are expanding and changing so that took up most of her time. It was sad really because I was enjoying to get to know her. We talk a bit at the dinner table but just polite conversational basics. Nothing reveals more of her to me. She still keeps me up that exterior of not wanting to get to know people. The other trainers will keep asking me about our etc but not Artemis. She seems to be off in her own world.
Friday night arrives and we all sit down for dinner. "Since this is my last day before I have to go back and teach that moron Bat-face or whatever he's called how to run his batmobile. I wanted to celebrate tonight so after dinner let's all get dressed up and have a work party, you'll recognize a few guesses too." Said Red Tornado.
Superboy then turned on the music and we all started singing at the dinner table enjoying ourselves. Artemis then even started to smile at us and started singing way out of key. I just looked at her and she was trying so hard to let go. "Come on join us. You know you want to.". I replied. Artemis then started to let loose as we finished our dinner.
We all then returned to our rooms and got glammed up for the evening. I didn't know what to wear so I wore a black suit and nice long sleeve pants. Once I'm ready I headed towards the lounge not knowing what to expect. As I got closer I heard the music get louder and a lot of laughter. I see Thor, Bucky and Sam with bottles in their hands. Theirs a waiter behind the bar serving Peter who has to show him a I. D whilst Monica sat next to him laughing. I scan the room with lots of people including I think the Guardian's of the Galaxy by the antenna tint, but I don't see Wanda. I was really hoping she'd be here tonight.
"Looking for someone?" A female voice said behind me. I then turned around seeing Wanda in a red cut low dress.
"Wow, you look amazing." I stuttered. The huge panic inside me screaming with everyone else out of my fibre.
"You don't look so shabby yourself." Replied Wanda and she made me blush.
"Drink?" I said and she nodded.
"Okay let's play never have I ever." Replied Sam Wilson. You then heard a lot of groaning.
"Alright I'll go first. Never have I been in space." Replied Thor. Everyone else drank except for Monica, Wanda and I. The drinking games were fun until we are to drunk to control ourselves.
It was the first time in years since I fully let go. The first time in years I genuinely enjoyed myself. The music started blaring Mr. Bright side. It was actually one of the songs I knew so I started singing a little. I see Wanda sitting quietly by herself so I decided to pull her up and got her to start dancing with me. When the music got to the chorus we both started to sing out loud. "Destiny is calling me open my eager eyes. Cause I'm Mr. Bright side." I actually saw the fit in front of me be free no front. She was beautiful her soft eyes and full lips. Travis stop it's the liquor talking. I left Wanda on the dance floor and started stumbling down the hall. I'm about to stumble forward when I feel a strong arm pull me up. I then looked to my left and it's Wanda.
"Hey those early morning workouts have been paying off." I said.
"Why thank you." Replied Wanda. Her laugh wasn't annoying like the others or obnoxious but unassuming.
"Thank you for helping me. I'm normally never like this." I said.
"Nothing to thank me for. It's nice seeing you having fun." Replied Wanda.
"Hey Wanda. Who did you drink for?" I said and she looked at me confused. "In never have I ever who was it?"
"I'm not telling you. It's private." Replied Wanda.
"You know I can read your mind. Why won't you tell me?" I said.
"Cause it's normal... who would you expect." Replied Wanda. I then saw her with a twinge of sadness so I decided not to push the topic.
"Ignore me I'm a drunken mess. I drank too just so you know. And it's not what you expect." Those were my final words before I conked onto my bed.
