Donnie's sigh followed by the feeling of more weight being applied to the edge of her mattress caused Miranda to look up at her mother's fiancé. It was surprising to see such a big, tough looking guy be so...caring. Caring enough to help his step daughter through a confusing and frustrating time, at least. Even Kirei was momentarily caught off guard before a bright smile occupied her face. The man's voice was as soft as a manly voice could get as he began to try and help her understand where Steven was coming from.

Also carefully listening to Donnie's word, Kirei's smile couldn't have grown any bigger. Back then they didn't talk about things like this. There wasn't nearly as communication in the first place, anyways. The way he looked at her when he talked and the way he talked about just wanting to be with her most nights made her fluttering heart soar. Miranda, on the other hand, was feeling worse and worse by the minute. She was a bitch. She drove him out and no doubt hurt him deeply. The teenager dropped her head in her hands and shook it slowly, swallowing back tears of regret.

"I fucked up.... I was just so \*angry\*." Her hands rubbed at her eyes, wiping newly formed tears away.

"I hurt him, Dad." It came so naturally. Like she'd been waiting for a moment like this all her life. The worst part? There was no warning. No hint to her sudden use of the word. Miranda kept her face hidden, embarrassed at such a fluke, but she didn't take it back.

"He's gone... And he probably won't be going back." Even as she said this, however, the last words he said to her still rang in her ears.

'I do care.'

Meanwhile

His lack of fighting back or stopping her at all was enough to show her what she'd been waiting to see. Her heart exploded with emotion as her lips parted just enough to allow his tongue access to her peppermint tasting mouth. Not only was this her first kiss, but it was her very first French kiss, as well. Time passed rather slowly as she seemed to melt against him before pulling away just enough to breathe. Those smokey grey eye lids of hers fluttered open to look at him; her cheeks much darker than before.

"Steven..." There was a pause before she eventually slipped her petite body onto his lap where she wrapped her arms around him and held onto him tightly. Kathy's heart pounded in her chest loudly like someone was beating on it like a drum. All of the emotions she was feeling had her a bit flustered. The blonde haired, green eyed beauty tilted her head back to look up at him. There was a soft smile on her pink lips.

"Steven....stay with me tonight." Any remnant thoughts of Miranda would spark a mental image of the sassy brunette in Steven's mind. Memories from when he initially met her all the way to when she asked him to stay with her for the first time might flood his brain as they sat in that swing. Thus creating a very awkward situation as well as a very hard decision for him to ultimately have to make before anything could go any further with either female.

Donnie’s eyes widen a bit when she calls him “Dad.” Even with all his trying and caring about her, Donnie didn’t expect it to be so soon for her to call him that. It felt good. The large monster of a man’s heart practically melts by being called the dad to his new stepdaughter. A small smile appears across his face, which for someone like him is a huge smile. Her words that follow make the large bear of a man feel sorry for her. It’s never easy to experience a first heartbreak. What Donnie finds comfort in is at least this is what society would call a normal heartbreak incident. Thinking back to his own first heartbreak came after his first fight with lifelong rival Keyome Tasanagi, finding out what Kirei had been doing the entire time of their relationship. It led him down a very dark path that Donnie doesn’t like to look back on much. But even in those dark times, Donnie never stopped loving the woman he is now about to marry. While he sits on the bed he reaches his hand out and places his hind on top of her knee that she keeps close to her chest to try and comfort her.

Donnie: He’s not gone.

If Miranda bothered to look up at her stepfather she’d meet his caring gaze with his crimson red eyes, perhaps getting a reminder of the eyes that Steven has.

Donnie: That boy is crazy about you. You have punched him, yelled at him, and made him feel bad…yet he stayed with you every night. Didn’t even try to sleep with you, seems like too nice of a guy to me. You guys had A fight, not a break up. Give him and yourself some time to cool off and then give him a call. If getting mad once and awhile meant breaking up, I’d be alone right now and not with the woman of my dreams with three amazing kids.

Hopefully his words might cheer her up, even just a little bit. By this time Donnie stands up and his heavy weight takes pressure off of the mattress to come back to full form. He takes his hand off of her knee and holds it out to Kirei for her to take.

Donnie: Come on, hun. She just needs a little time to calm down.

If Kirei took her hand, the parents would be able to exit the bedroom and make their way out into the main room. While this is happening the sound of a toilet flushing can be heard and the small pitter patter of little feet rustling through the house follows. Sneaking passed Donnie and Kirei as they exist, Dinah’s little frame would walk on into her sisters room. With her sitting the way she is she would be able to see Dinah’s head peep over the mattress. With a struggle, Dinah jumps on the edge of the bed with her hands gripping the blanket to hold her in the air. Her little feet dangle off the edge and she has to inch her way up until she finally gets all of herself on the bed. Once on the mattress she’d cross her legs and sit in front of Miranda.

Dinah: Hi sissy!

She speaks with a high pitch tone and a goofy smile on her face, not really observant to see that Miranda is pretty out of it today.

Dinah: Want to see my colors!? I drews new duuuude!

From the last few days Dinah has come to simply know Steven as “New Dude.” Miranda could answer however she pleased but it would be worth noting that Dinah didn’t actually have anything in her hands yet. So how exactly does the young child plan on doing such a thing?

Elsewhere

The kiss that the two of them shared was amazing. Steven can feel the fire between the two of them and all thoughts that he has are focused on just Kathy. He looks up at her as she says his name. His crimson hues meet her emerald orbs and he can’t help but bite down on his bottom lip to get the little tastes of her lips back in his mouth. Her body comes to sit on his lap and instinctively his hands slide around her and hold her at the small of her back. She fits so comfortably on his lap and it keeps Steven focused on just her. Everything hits him like a freight train when she asks him to stay with her tonight. The simple sentence travels through his brain over and over as if time came to slow down. That’s when the image of him in that window on a cold night appears in his mind. With his body all tattered from battling henchmen and mobsters, Miranda’s voice is what pulls him back.

Miranda: Stay with me tonight…

He remembers those same words that she spoke to him on their first night together. And even though the two of them are fighting, he is still WITH Miranda. He can’t be doing something like this. And the realization of that bring brings him to quickly jolt off of the swing. His hands keep Kathy from falling onto the floor but once she stands in front of him he moves away from her with his hands out as if she were attacking him somehow.

Steven: WAIT! Kathy I can’t do this! You know I have a girlfriend!

He uses his right hand to wipe his lips as if doing that would take away the fact that they kissed. And even as Steven tries to resist this, there is no way either of them can hide the fact that their chemistry together is too good to ignore. The kiss alone was filled with so much passion hidden behind years of unexpressed feelings for each other. The experience and the want is something both of them have always pictured but the timing of it couldn’t be worse. Knowing it is equally at fault, Steven looks at Kathy with a frown on his face and his eyes like a scolded dog who knows he is in trouble.

Steven: I…I’m sorry, Kathy…I can’t cheat on Miranda…Even if we are fighting, she is still my girlfriend…

What he doesn’t realize is that Kathy didn’t know he and Miranda were having problems. Now that could add to whatever she thinks or wants to do with Steven. The young teenage male is probably just feeding more ammo for Kathy to use. Steven’s mind is already caught between two and anything right now could sway him in one direction or another. On one hand he has the first girl he’s ever been with and the girl he’s secretly liked all along. How can Steven choose!?

The tough father figure wasn't the only one blown away by Miranda's sudden slip of the word 'dad'. She didn't even call Kirei 'mom' yet. Jealousy threatened to rise up, but happiness forced it back into its dark hole as the older woman placed a hand on her chest. Regardless of who was called what, this was progress! The girl wasn't even being rude or sarcastic. Yeah, she was very hurt at the moment and possibly beating herself up on the inside, but she was accepting their help and their love. Her other hand rested itself on Donnie's leg as she looked from Miranda to him. Her love filled gaze lingered in him for a few moments before she turned her attention back onto Miranda. The touching moment between Step Father and Step daughter was enough to make Kirei start to tear up as he tried to help Miranda through this hard time.

Miranda, who'd kept her face hidden behind all of her dark brown locks of hair while Donnie reassured her that Steven wasn't gone. That he cared about her and how it was obvious by his actions. Though he tried to make her feel better, recounting just how awful she was to him only made her feel worse inside. But Donnie was right, and that made her feel a little better. They only had a fight. Neither of them stated that the relationship was over, though she was convinced that it was while she was alone in her room.

"I guess we didn't actually break up...." She'd admit, her voice soft. The tears had completely stopped at this point and she was almost feeling better. Though she didn't want her parents to leave, she couldn't bring herself to ask them to stay.

Kirei hesitated a moment, feeling as if maybe they should stay, but she took Donnie's hand anyways. She was still trying to get the hang of being a parent and didn't remembered Miranda asking her not to suffocate her with attention. So, she slid off of the edge of the large bed and followed Donnie out of the dimly lit bedroom.

All fell silent as Miranda stayed on the bed and thought about the night from start to now. Having a supportive family was something that all orphans desired and that's what she had just then. Maybe all this time. So much support and love. The soft pitter patter of Dinah's little feet made Miranda lift her head to look over at the 6 year old. Her struggle to get on the tall bed was laughable, but Miranda held it in and waited for the young child to pull herself up. Dinah looked relatively happy and had mentioned coming the "new dude". A nickname she'd given Steven just recently. Hearing this made Miranda feel down all over again, but she took in a deep breath.

"Sure, Dinah. I'd... Id love to see your picture."

Meanwhile

Everything was going the way she'd imagined it would go. That is, until Steven stood from his seat on the swing. The air had suddenly changed and so did the tone of his voice. Did Steven sound...scared? Nervous? Guilty?! Kathy stepped away from him, a brow raised and the blush faded from her cheeks. She could t believe it. After such a strong emotional moment that uncovered their undoubtably chemistry, he was going to cut it short? After all this time? The cherry on top was him mentioning his 'girlfriend'. Kathy couldn't believe her ears and she wouldn't stay quiet for this one.

"You're girlfriend isn't exactly a prize, from wha my your mom says. In fact, your mom hates her!" Kathy's soft features were changed by anger and frustration as she continued. "While you were gone doing whatever it is you've been doing I've come by every single day to see you. Everyday I waited on the couch or in the kitchen beside your mother while she told me about that horrible girl. What kind of person could be so mean?!" Kathy couldn't seem to control her voice as it raised on the quiet playground. After a moment of just staring at him, angry but confused, Kathy relaxed herself.

"I've been waiting...for you to come back." Her voice broke as she spoke and she dropped her gaze to the ground. "I missed you. I needed you." As her lower lip trembled, the blonde folded her arms under her breasts and brought her hands up to grip at her biceps lightly. "At least stay with me tonight... Just tonight. It can be like our summertime slumber parties back in elementary school. Separate blanket forts to sleep in and everything." At this point the teenager was looking back up at Steven with testy eyes that begged him alongside her pitiful voice. "Please?"

Dinah: Okies! Wash!

After getting the okay from her sister, Dinah begins to place her hands in front of her, cupped together in the small space in her crossed legs. Miranda would be able to see how Dinah’s eyes begin to reform and become all-white. Not just her iris but her pupils as well. Moments after her eyes make this dramatic shift there is a bright white energy within her cupped hands. The light inside of Dinah’s hands light up the entire room, making it seem like a flashbang had just gone off in her room. After the light is created Dinah pushes her palms out towards Miranda and slowly begins to spread her arms open. Miranda can see the small fingertips open up and in between her hands is the formation of a piece of paper appearing out of thin air! This might freak the teenager out of the funk she is in just by pure shock to see the small six year old doing something like this. Within the next few seconds a large piece of paper would appear to cover the front of Dinah’s small frame. The picture has a stick figure drawing of Steven with his yellow goggles on his face and Miranda with her long dark brown hair. The stick figures are holding hands and Dinah has even drawn out some grass and a house in the background that’s really just a square and a triangle put together. After the paper is revealed the glow of the white energy fades and her fingertips wrap around the paper. Before Miranda’s very eyes it would show that Dinah just brought this picture out of thin air. Dinah points to where Steven is at.

Dinah: Sees! Ther’s new duuude and ther’s sissy. You two howld hands cause you twos kissy kissy all the time.

Dinah places the picture down on the bed in between the two of them and still has that goofy smile on her face.

Dinah: Sissy like it!? I tries to cheer sissy up cause I fweel her saddy. I downt like sissy being saddy. So I drowl pics for hers!

The young girl waits to see how her sister will react but the innocence she has is keeping her from fully realizing what she has just done in front of the newly heartbroken teenage girl. She didn’t even know Dinah had powers let alone have the ability to do what she just did. This night probably just went from devastatingly heartbreaking to overwhelmingly strange.

Elsewhere

At first when Kathy insults Miranda and that his mom doesn’t like her it gets him rather pissed off. His nose scrunches up and his eyebrows curl with the thought of how rude it is for her to be saying such things about a girl she has never met. He is ready to fire back with an argument of his own but he can quickly see that Kathy isn’t fighting him because of anger but out of something else entirely. Her words transition to how she’d be at his apartment everyday waiting for him only to never show up. Steven’s face slowly releases its tight hold of anger and the emotion quickly turns to regret and sadness. He knows how much of an ass he has been by keeping Kathy out of the loop.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8yPsMyxdCc )

It doesn’t help anything when Kathy folds her arms to grab at her biceps and flashes him that look. The way his eyes catch hers is like a tractor beam just pulling him in. The tone of her voice and just how much her bottom lip trembles breaks him down to where all of his defensive walls tumble like thousand year old stone. The memories of Miranda yelling at him and all the fighting they have been having because she can’t open up to him push him to want to say yes to Kathy. That’s when the thoughts about his time with Kathy as kids and all the adventures they went on flood into his mind as well. For those on the outside it would seem like an obvious choice but Steven has never felt like there has been a harder choice in his life. The girl he has come to be head over boots for, or the girl who has been through everything with him. Steven slowly walks up to Kathy and his hands softly come to press on her hands. He looks down at her with a soft smile and she’d see the vibrant glow of his red eyes. After placing his hands on hers they slowly massage up to her shoulders before they finally cup both of her cheeks. His thumbs lightly rub at the soft and warm cheeks of hers. She’d feel the hands wrap around her shoulders and she’d come to be pulled into a hug. His arms hold her tightly and he places his chin on the top of her head. The warmth and safety of this hug would show her more than he would like to expose about what he thinks about Kathy. He is trying to do everything he can to resist her but if she placed her head on his chest she’d feel how fast his heartbeat is being nervous around her now. His eyes slowly shut as he embraces her as he struggles internally with what he should do next.

Steven: (Don’t do it…Go home Steven…GO. The. FUCK. HOME…Don’t fuck this up any more than you already have!)

After the hug he’d slowly release her just enough to where she’d be able to look up towards him. If she did so, the moment their eyes lock once more she’d see it already and wouldn’t even need to hear the words come from his lips to know where his mind has been made.

Steven: Sure, Kathy…Just like old times…

After giving her what she wants to hear, the two of them would be able to walk towards the direction of her house which is close by. As the two of them begin that walk, Steven flashes her a soft smile to try and ease the tension between the two of them.

Steven: (What are you doing?...)

That’s the last thing he asks himself before the two teenagers disappear out of the park. The swing that Steven sat on continues to slowly swing and just like that, the theme of the night has shifted completely into something the two of them may never be able to turn back from.

II
--

'Her eyes!' Miranda nearly jumped out of her skin at the sight of her little step sisters eyes suddenly turning white. And it wasn't like she just rolled her eyes in the back of her head. No, Miranda actually watched her eyes change! The already creepy situation got stranger as the small girl's cupped hands were suddenly holding a bright white light. The entire room was lit up as if every lamp and light was on! The light is so bright that Miranda has to shield her eyes by putting her forearm up and holding it out across her face. As her eyes began to adjust to the sudden brightness, the freaked out teenager would peek over her arm at the paper forming between Dinah's hands as they moved apart.

'What the fuck? What the fuck?!' Her eyes were wide as the light faded away to reveal the hand drawn picture on the large piece of sketch paper. Though the figures were simple stick figures, the picture was enough to punch Miranda right in the gut with emotion.

"That's..." But before she could even get the words out, Dinah explained the picture in the sweetest way possible. Stick figure Steven and stick figure Miranda were holding hands. They looked happy; as if there hadn't been a single problem. All of the happier memories flooded her mind at once and she was soon feeling upset all over again. That's not to say that she'd forgotten about how the picture got in Dinah's hand in the first place. The teenager lowers her arm and looked at Dinah, who seemed to be completely oblivious to the fact that what she'd done was absolutely shocking.

"\*You\* have powers?!" Was the first thing she found herself blurting out. Because of Steven's powers, the idea of the impossible being possible was easier to swallow for her. But that didn't change the fact that her little sister wasn't an average 6 year old!

"Do they know?!" Miranda jabbed her thumb back towards her bedroom door. Whether Dinah answered or not, she'd go on. "This is insane!"

Meanwhile

The walk to Kathy's house was a short one. She didn't live far from the local park at all. The few minutes it took to get to her home were alive with all sorts of thoughts and feelings. The blonde walked as close to Steven as she could with one hand gently curled around his.

'I'm not going to let go. Not this time. He's mine, Miranda...'

The thought was a bit harsher than she liked, but it came from the heart. She loved Steven from day one...well...as far back as she could remember. Day in and day out the duo were together; growing, learning, playing together. They were inseparable back then. They're families often teased that the two would marry and that would cause an awkward moment of denial between the two. Now, it didn't seem so far fetched.

Kathy's parents cars were both parked in the driveway, but the house was dark and quiet. She could tell that they were in bed because there wasn't even the colorful and random flicker of light from a tv screen in their bedroom window as they made their way up the driveway. The closer they got to the front door, she'd begin to dig around in her pockets for the house key. When her fingers find the small metal key, she'd fish it out and slip it into the lock. As the key was turned, Kathy turned to look at Steven with playful green eyes and bring a finger to her lips.

"Shhhh."

The door swung open easily, only creaking once as the teenage girl stepped inside. While still on the welcome mat, she slipped her shoes off and turned to Steven again, this time to motion for him to come inside. If he followed her in, she whisper for him to take his shoes off and bring them with as she began to climb up the carpeted stairs near the door.

"My parents are sleeping for work so we have to stay quiet." She'd say softly over her shoulder as they made their way to her bedroom which had always been on the second floor across from her parents room. Walking up this set of stairs might trigger some memories of the two running up and down them morning, noon, and night as they played a variety of games or raced to the kitchen for snacks or a meal. Even if Steven didn't experience this nostalgia, Kathy sure would.

Dinah nods her head fast when Miranda asks if she has powers as if it were something normal to hear. The white eyes of hers slowly recede back to the blue hues she normally has and when Miranda asks if her parents know, she continues to nod her head.

Dinah: Daddy twains me.

Dinah pushes herself up and he small frame stands up on the bed so Miranda can look at her. Lifting her right hand up she taps her index finger onto the side of her head.

Dinah: Daddy says what I sees in my head, becomes real!

She raises a brow and tries to remember the word her father used to explain her powers. She puffs her cheeks out of frustration of not remembering for a few seconds. When she finally does remember, she lets the air out of her mouth and smiles back to Miranda.

Dinah: I’s is a rality rapper!

At first the words would seem confusing to the older teenager but if she could piece the young girl’s innocent accent together she’d be able to figure out that she meant “Reality Warper.” Dinah laughs softly a little bit once she does explain what she is. After she gets through this she walks over to Miranda and plops her butt right next to her.

Dinah: Did Sissy like my’s pitcher? I can’s fix it if sissy no like it.

The bright ocean blue orbs of hers keep staring up at the hazel eyes of her sisters waiting to see what she says back to her. Dinah has no clue how shocked Miranda is to see that her baby sister has this kind of power. In Dinah’s eyes she doesn’t even understand what she is completely. Only Donnie works with her on the control of her abilities and the vast possibilities that can come from it.

Elsewhere

The two teenagers make it to the female’s house and with each step he takes to get to her front door is like a heavier weight on him. He knows what he is doing is wrong but there is something pulling him to enter the house almost as if something is possessing him to do it. Once inside, he takes his shoes off and slowly walks behind Kathy. His memories play out many of the scenes of him and her playing together as young kids. The two of them have been so close for so long that it is almost weird for him to be fighting against this. Why should he? As they go up the stairs his eyes slowly look up to see her ass as it turns and bounces with each step she takes. A light hue of red appears on his cheeks as he actually checks her out! Realizing how his eyes practically ogle over her body, he turns away to look up to see that they are coming up to the door of the room. Once the point of no return comes Steven would reach out and grab Kathy’s hand to get her attention. If she turned around to look at him she’d see him looking down towards the floors but his hand keeps a soft grip around hers. She’d be able to see everything going her way.

Steven: Maybe…

His tone is soft and filled with the conflicting feelings he has about being here.

Steven: Maybe we could put our forts together…

The crimson eyes of his look up slowly to gaze at her emerald orbs and those words might be everything Kathy has been waiting to here. The moment he says this he remembers what she said to him at the park just a few minutes ago. His grip around her hand gets a little tighter with that thought in his mind.

Steven: I need you too…

After saying this she’d be able to see how his body ever so slowly gets closer to hers. With his face so close to hers any sudden movement from her would press their lips together one again. This time it wouldn’t be what Kathy does to make the night even more sinful than it already is. This time around it is Steven who takes the plunge into the depths of where their feelings are taking them. His eyes slowly shut and his lips softly press onto hers once more. The moment in time would feel like a stand still because of him finally giving in. The kiss isn’t sexual or heavy like some porno but instead sensual and caring as if it were something that had been years in the making. After a few seconds of him kissing her she’d feel his teeth lightly nibble and tug on her bottom lip. The crimson eyes of his slowly open back up and his free hand slowly turns the knob of the bedroom door. With the door now open and Kathy knowing what Steven has on his mind, she’d be able to take them both into her bedroom. This being a place Steven has spent days’ worth of time in as a kid, it seems like they will both be having yet another first in here tonight.

The fact that Donnie knew about his daughter and that he trained her was absolutely mind blowing. Again, Miranda watched the 6 year olds eyes change; this time from pure white to their normal blue hues. The teenagers wide eyes follow the girl as she stands on the bed and further explains her ability as best as she can at her age. It took a moment for Miranda to decipher the young child's words, but once she had it figured out she was a bit more freaked.

Though she was still reeling over her little sister being a reality warper, that didn't change the fact that she was her sister. Maybe not by blood, but Miranda felt a connection with the child. In fact, she clicked with Dinah right away. They had a normal older sister/little sister relationship almost instantly. Miranda took another look at the hand drawn masterpiece and smiled softly.

"It's perfect, Dinah." A stray tear rolled down her cheek and she rushed to wipe it away, not wanting the child to see that she was still trying to recover from the hectic night and realization of how mean she really was to the only guy she ever really cared about.

Kathy's House

Kathy felt Steven's big, warm hand as it grabbed for hers. This would stop her as they reached the white and lightly decorated door that let into her bedroom. The girl turned to look up at him with a brow raised and curiosity in her eyes. He didn't look at her, but she could see the feint blush on his face. Was he having second thoughts? No, he couldn't be. The atmosphere still felt...right. As he begins to speak softly, she can feel her heart rate increase tremendously. She felt confident that he'd stay, but there was that little voice of doubt that lingered in the back of her mind. It was times like this that she wished she could read minds!

When Steven finally came out with what he wanted to say, she felt her heart skip a beat. This was no longer about having him stay just for a little while. Kathy's heart exploded with affection and all sorts of other emotions and feelings as their eyes met and she found it nearly impossible to contain herself as he repeated what she'd told him at the park to her right now. He needed her. She needed him. Such confirmation could have brought tears to her eyes, but she was more focused on his lips as he brought his face closer.

Kathy puckered her lips softly, fully ready to receive the kiss. As their lips touched it was like a more intense explosion all throughout her. Her mind was alive with visions of the two of them happily together. The kiss was fairly innocent...until she felt his teeth gently nibbling at her lower lip. This sparked a bit of tingling between her legs. She could feel her body reacting to such an action in an alien way and she could only respond by wrapping her arms tightly around him to deepen this kiss. The gentle sound of her door knob turning signaled her to step back, pulling him with if he'd allow it. Her back would gently push the door open as they stepped into the darkness without breaking the kiss. As they passed the door, Kathy would pull one hand from him to gently swing the door shut, leaving the room pitch black aside from a single light coming from her computer tower in the corner of the small room.

Dinah doesn’t miss the sight of the tear that falls down her sister’s face. Even with how quickly she wipes it off of her face, the young toddler looks up to her sister in curiosity to figure out why she is so sad. Dinah has always been able to get the aura of a room, having her personality mimic and grow off of the moods of others near her. In this situation she can feel the sadness of the room and it makes her feel all oily as if she is not in her own skin. Being a young one that she is, the feeling is something she doesn’t understand yet. The explaining of this feeling will be something Donnie will hate to have to explain later once Dinah starts getting an interest in boys.

Dinah: Hm?

Her curiosity is peaked now and her small frame rolls over to where she’d be sitting in front of her sister now instead of beside her. Her little ocean blue orbs look Miranda up and down as if she were on exhibit for people to see. Finally Dinah scrunches her nose in a rather adorable imagine to see and her eyes squint as if she solved the mystery case.

Dinah: Sissy ish berry sad!

With the overwhelming feeling of sadness coming from her sister, Dinah begins to react like someone who is sad. What Dinah doesn’t understand is that this is her mind trying to take the emotional weight off of someone else. By taking a small piece of what is making Miranda sad in order to try and get Miranda to feel better. In doing this, Dinah’s eyes begin to water and from the outside looking in it would look like the most adorable thing in the whole world. Dinah’s face is scrunched together with a light crimson hue under her cheeks and the tears in her eyes bottle up until they overflow out of her eyes.

Dinah: I don’t like pweeples being Sad!

The tone of Dinah’s voice is rather wild because of her lack of ability to propyl control her own emotions. Small trinkets across Miranda’s room – cups, lights, and pieces of paper – begin to shift around them just based off of Dinah’s emotional power. Her small hands bundle up into fists as she tries to hold in her tears.

Dinah: Why is sissy sad?

\_Even for all the weird feelings Miranda might be having towards her sister being a powerful metahuman, her tone is still innocent and childish. It would be up to the teen now on if she wants to open up and talk about the events that played out this evening. With Dinah on the verge of losing her shit cause of her sisters sadness it would be both alarming and comforting to know that Dinah would be so prepared to do anything for Miranda like this.

Elsewhere

Once the two are inside of her bedroom, the once familiar playing grounds for the two of them now seems like a world away from what he is used too. His thoughts are no longer on the forts they used to make or the toys they used to play with. The light that appears off the monitor barely has enough power to let the two of them be seen with their eyes but its just enough to help extend the romantic atmosphere of what the two have on their minds. Standing in the center of the room, Steven keeps his lips pressed with hers and the kiss has escalated from an innocent kiss of attraction to the hot and heavy passionate making out that one would expect from a scene like this. His lips part and their tongues come together once more, Steven battling for his dominant role between the two of them. The silence of the room only further amplifies the sounds of their lust as the kissing rings through their ears. The moment comes where the young teenager has to decide on whether this is what he wants to do. And with the state of mind he is in at the moment, he is in no shape to make a good decision. That moment is met with Steven’s hands slowly gliding down her back and coming to a stop right at the end of the fabric of her shirt. She’d feel how his fingertips lightly curl into the fabric to take a grip of both sides. His lips finally part from hers in that moment so their eyes can meet.

Steven: I…

He starts to speak but can’t find the words. If Kathy nodded or gave him some type of positive sign that she wants it too, Steven would begin to lift his hands up and pull the shirt off of her body. After removing it from her he’d throw it to the side just before he removes his own shirt. Once he does Kathy would be seeing the muscular body frame of his for the first time since the accident and it would surely be a shocking sight to see of the muscleless boy she had grown up with. The tan hands of his wrap around her once more now with the tips of his fingers enjoying the feeling of her smooth milky skin. Steven would use his strength to walk Kathy over to her bed and the next thing she’d feel is her body being lowered down onto the bed they have played on before. The moment her back hits the soft fabric Steven remembers the many memories the two of them have had and it brings him to smile softly. His hips begin to rub and grint against hers once they are layed out on the bed.

Steven: Looks like there will be another first for the two of us…

Miranda felt the shift in weight on the bed as Dinah rolled in front of her. At first, the child looked curious. Maybe a little confused about Miranda's state. Then, in he blink of an eye, her big beautiful eyes began to well up with tears. Using the palm of her hand, she'd wipe away another tear quickly. It looked like maybe she was upsetting her little sister and that was the last thing she wanted to do. To top off the already heartbreaking and slightly sweet moment, Dinah declared she didn't like sadness.

So cute. So innocent. So unbothered by the fluctuating emotions of a troubled teen. Miranda cracked a smile and took in a slow and shake my breath.

"No one likes when people are sad... And...sissy...." Her voice trembled more as she tried to come up with a way to explain the situation to her carefully. "Sissy is sad because she hurt Steven's feelings. She was upset because she couldn't spend time with him like she thought she would. He was off being a super hero while sissy stayed home. Sissy didn't understand how hard being with a hero would be because all she thought about was being able to spend time with him. And because of that, sissy said some things and hurt Steven's feelings."

The entire time Miranda was trying to explain herself, her voice would break every few words or so. She tried to keep her eyes on the girl, but she didn't want her to see the sadness and worry in them. Maybe to others a fight wouldn't be this serious, but this was their first fight as a couple. She felt strongly for Steven. Maybe it was love. Maybe not, but she felt something.

Kathy's Room

The intensity of the kiss quickly increased after the door was closed. Kathy was new to this but she had a general idea of what everything she was feeling meant. The girl was tingly all over and her heart was in her throat while her whole body felt hot. Her slim fingers played in his messy hair as their tongues began to wrestle from one mouth to the other. Because of the silence of the room, she could hear their kissing and heavy and shaky breathing. It was an awkward sound for her and made her cheeks burn heavily. Kathy was thankful for the lack of light in the room.

A shiver traveled up her spine as his fingertips lightly grazed her smooth back. She could feel his gentle grip at the bottom hem of her shirt and nibbled on his lower lip as their lips parted. His voice was soft, almost a whisper, but he didn't finish what he was going to say. Though he'd only barely started a sentence, Kathy seemed to instinctively know what his intention was. The girl would giggle softly and bite her lower lip for a moment before nodding once to him.

With permission given, he lifted her shirt. Time slowed as the first articles of clothing were removed. The big reveal of his oddly muscular but extremely attractive body was something that made her eyes go wide. He'd never been a muscles guy, always slim and "geeky". Now he had the body of a jock and she was very impressed by it. Her fingertips gently traced his abs just before he began to lower her onto her twin sized bed.

She could feel an ache, a desire brewing between her legs and it only worsened as he slid his hips against her in a grinding motion. All of the excitement was becoming too much to handle and she'd let out a very quiet and shy little moan, keeping her eyes on him as he spoke. This was a side of Steven that she never thought he'd have. He was so calm, so smooth. His confidence was through the roof and being able to see him like this almost drove her as crazy as the bulge in his pants did.

"The first of many." She'd murmur softly, a bashful smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

The young girl listens and gauges what her older sister is saying. Miranda finally opens up, albeit to a six year old, but she opens up nonetheless. Dinah only understands bits and pieces of what Miranda is talking about. For someone her age she is educated but the problems Miranda is currently going through hit her as small. Dinah raises her right eyebrow in almost a spitting image of her father in the way they he lifts his brow when he is curious. After thinking about what Miranda had said, Dinah simply smiles and releases a light but adorable giggle. This might bring Miranda off guard because Dinah was just crying and fighting back what only looked like an explosion of emotions. Dinah claps her hands together lightly and practically bounces in joy.

Dinah: Das all that bwothers sissy? I’s can fis dat!

The words might sound even more confusing than just trying to understand Dinah’s speech. It would sound very clean in her own way that she offers to be able to “fix” Miranda’s problems. The offer is one that Miranda might brush off to a simple joke or Dinah doing something six year olds do. But instead, Dinah stands up on her small feet and pushes her palms outwards towards Miranda’s seated body.

Dinah: Being a swupahero is hard. Daddy gimme bed time sterries about when he was a swupahero. And he says….

Before she can finish her sentence, the blue orbs of hers transform once more into the bright white heavenly light that Miranda had seen earlier. If Miranda tried to move or stop Dinah she’d begin to feel a tightening bubble of energy warping around her body. For each movement the bubble of clear energy tightens around her until her own body would glow with the same heavenly light that appeared before. Focusing all of her training into this, Dinah’s body lifts off of the bed. Her feet hand over the bed by a few inches and her body levitates in the air while her palms remain out towards Miranda. A light breeze begins to swirl around the room, twirling Dinah’s long flowing black hair. Miranda wouldn’t feel any pain in this as her body is cacooned in energy. She’d just see the bright white light and it would almost feel rather wonderful and everlasting. Her body would be floating in this white light cacoon and every bit of pain or sadness she felt would drift away with the light breeze. Dinah’s lips slowly curl into a light smile, feeling that happiness as she tries to transfer it over to her sister. Once Miranda is completely cocooned in this white light, Dinah finishes her statement.

Dinah: Ish always bwetter to have a fwend.

The night between Kathy and Steven had become one to remember. The two lay on top of the bed, grinding their hips against one another and for what it is, the two look like a perfect couple who truly care for one another. The bulge on his pants that hides away the hardened tool underneath the fabric of denim pushes up against the slit of her delicate flower underneath her own pants. Not wanting to just kiss her anymore, Steven can feel a fire burning in his chest that he can no longer keep to himself. His lips are pulled away from hers, leaving a line of saliva in between the two of them. His end of the line is met on the sensitive kiss of her neck as he presses his lips against her. His hands slide down to her hips to pull the bottoms off of her, grabbing her pants and her panties. Once he removes these from her body it gets to one of the final points to where the two of them will become one. Even as young as they are these two seem so sure of the action they are about to take. After removing her clothing Steven leans up to where his hands can unbutton his own pants. If she looked up to see it, she’d see how he lightly pulls down his pants and finally revealing the hardened rod that was hidden this whole time. Holding it in his left hand, he quickly leans back down to have his lips be pressed up against hers.

Steven: We can’t turn back now…

He whispers that in her right ear just before he thrusts his hips forward and she’d feel his entire rod slowly be penetrated inside of her virgin flower. He groans out slightly because of the new experience for the both of them and before he can say anything, his head leans down to her neck and roughly bites against the sensitive neck. On this night he has come to lose his virginity with a girl he had always had a crush on. But he will wake tomorrow to know it is not the girl he is spoken for. In a night of anger between him and the one who truly cares for, he has fallen in the depths of his own darkness and self-doubt. As happy and as much as he enjoys the moment and who he is with, it does not change the act in which he is partaking in. Kathy has received what she has wanted for so long, she has the boy. And to obtain this blissful and lustful joy, Steven had to cheat on his girlfriend to do it. Will it be worth it? For now, Steven is only thinking of the now. It will be too soon to tell.
