<strong>Name:</strong>Aqualad (Kaldur'ahm)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Titan's Tower/Pool<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Open, Nightwing, Zatanna, Raven<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Around Midnight Saturday<br/><hr/><br/>As Kal was laying down on the couch thinking about what reason, other than bringing his old hatred to the surface, Nightwing had for looking at a picture of Deathstroke. He was looking at the picture thinking that maybe something bad just happened that had Deathstroke's signature all over it. If so then Nightwing was going to be like a bloodhound furiously and endlessly tracking the man down and then when he did catch him he would turn into a pit bull and would make his prey fight like hell in order to escape Nightwing's jaws. Out of all the villains they had ever faced Slade Wilson held a special place in Nightwings circle of hatred and it was not pretty. At times he could be a little extreme but Kal understood where Dick was coming from....<br/><br/><em>The man's put him through a lot....what an understatement.... </em><br/><br/>Kal saw that Zatanna had entered the room but as she slinked off making as little noise as possible he understood she didn't want to be noticed just yet. Kal looked back at Nightwing and the cold calculating gaze frozen on Deathstroke's face. He heard enough about the man to make Aqualad dread the time he would have to encounter the man. He was not looking forward to this. It was then that the clattering of a spoon on a tile floor that shattered the silence. It was almost funny how loud the spoon sounded in this tense and quiet atmosphere.<br/><br/><em>Poor Zatanna....He knew how she felt about Nightwing....</em><br/><br/>With a faint smile lifted his hand and opened it as he summoned some of the falling water to come towards him. He easily shaped it into a ball as he began tossing it up to the ceiling figuring Nightwing was soon going to start an unofficial gathering of sorts. He did not know that yet another person was walking in. As he tossed the ball of water up he heard the door open. Only half paying attention he glanced at who walked in and saw Raven. He swallowed suddenly as she walked seemingly hurriedly towards the kitchen. The ball of water bounced on his head and burst on him. It was not much water but still it matted his hair and dripped onto his suit as he mumbled to himself to get a grip. Zatanna and Raven were dressed completely opposite of each other. Zatanna had on black short shorts and a white tank, while Raven was dressed much more conservatively in a pair of grey sweat pants and black hoodie. He still couldn't get around the fact that he saw Raven naked and that she had been acting strangely he knew something was wrong and did not intend to bring it up...nor mention that he still had those bits of neon cloth....<br/><br/>As he got up telling Nightwing he'd be right back, tossing his book onto the couch. He saw Raven and Zatanna talking as he grabbed the paper towels patting himself as he teased Zatanna "Think you need to go back to ninja school Zatanna...that spoon was like a grenade going off when everyone's asleep." He laughed as he smiled kindly at both of them resting his hands on the counter and laid his head on them.<br/><br/>He slowly turned his gaze to Raven and managed to look at her without blushing.....or picturing her naked.....<br/><br/><em>Damn....</em><br/><br/>At least until that moment.<br/><br/>After cursing himself in his head he steeled himself and asked the two girls "Any idea just how long Dick's been looking at that picture of Slade Wilson? Anyone wanna place some bets?" Aqualad attempted to joke to try and lighten the mood. he felt as if things were tense.
