Superheroes are a strange bunch.

But then anyone who dressed up to fight crime was a little strange, though none of the heroes themselves would ever admit that. They'd never tell you how painful this job, that how much it hurts, that things can really be messed up sometimes, but they'd definitely tell you how good it felt to be able to save someone.

The Titans are no different.

They are powerful in their own right, with abilities that are extremely different from each other but work very well together. And seeing as they have a Homo Magi and an Amazonian working alongside three normal (well, not normal per se) humans, they have to be like that. But they are a team and a month of working together has told Aurelia that they are a much better team than the Justice League.

At least, everyone listens to everyone here and doesn't have secret plans that can end up breaking the members. (Yes, Clara told her all about that. Her aunt was still a little bitter about those couple of days).

There is one problem though, that Aurelia's picked up on. The battles they fight and the people they stop...everything always ends up a little too violent. She's the kind of person that dislikes too much violence, seeing as magic is a less physical, but more mystical entity. There is no violence in magic, but there is a certain grace. Even though she is well-versed in physical training, there is no question that she doesn't like to use that. Her magic runs in her blood; it can be limited, but no one can take it from her.

Violence...it is out of the question for a magic user like her.

Still, for those who don't have powers, physical violence is their only resort to fight back against society. (And even Donna falls into this category, since her powers lay on the physical side; super strength with her super speed)

It's not like Aurelia minds seeing criminals beaten up for their crimes. It's the noise that comes when fists connect with bones that really grosses her out. The sickening crack...it makes her a little nauseous. She wonders how she hasn't thrown up yet because of it. At this point, she is probably used to it, so that's why.

She stumbles into the training room, yawning softly.

"Woah, woah, did you not sleep last night?" Dick asks as he tosses her a bo staff. Aurelia catches it with ease, stepping into a battle stance.

"No. I stayed up till late thinking really stupid magical shit," Aurelia answers. "Don't ask."

"I wasn't gonna," Dick says, raising his hands in front of him. "But I hope you're alert enough to fight because I'm not gonna hold back on you."

"Good. Because if you did, I would hit you harder than I need too. Oh, and also no kisses then," She snickers, seeing the outraged look on Dick's face.

"Hey, you can't do that."

"Guess what? I can."

Like a mature person, Aurelia sticks her tongue out and raises the wooden staff in front of her, challenging him to come forward.

Dick advances towards her, staff raised in his hand. This time, she's not distracted and raised her staff to block his attack. The loud clang echoes around the training room and then they're back at it again. Aurelia strikes the next moment, swinging the staff the way she does with her own swords. She tries to disarm him and almost succeeds before she finds herself being pushed to the ground by the force of the strike.

Aurelia steadies herself in time, just as Dick comes in to land his next attack. She manages to sidestep and dodge it with difficulty. Dick's moves are intense, but hold a slight grace to them. His moves are calculated and he knows exactly where to strike.

Aurelia's next hit almost lands on his shoulder, before he ducks and swings the staff towards her. She dodges, but not before the bo staff lightly scrapes her elbow.

"When did you get so good at fighting?" Dick asks, sounding strangely shocked.

"Huh?" Aurelia makes a face. "Don't sound so surprised, Bird Boy. I trained, you know."

"Oh yeah? We'll see how well you've trained," Dick answers.

They go at it for a few more rounds, till a momentary distraction causes Dick to receive a blow straight to his jaw. Aurelia lets out a gleeful noise, before stifling it as he glares at her.

"Aww, does that hurt? Want me to kiss it better?" She teases, smirking just a little.

Dick rolls his eyes, and comes at her fast. Taking advantage of her momentary shock, he strikes her again and this time, he hits with a lot of force. She stumbles backwards and the Bo staff almost slips out of her hand.

"Aww, does that hurt? Want me to kiss it better?" Dick mocks her, a grin on his face.

Aurelia glares at him and before he can realise, she's attacking him with such strength that he barely has time to dodge.

They continue their wild dance, trying to land the maximum hits on the other. But unlike the previous times they have fought, it's Aurelia who has the upper hand this time. Then, she tosses the staff aside, raising her fists.

"Come on," Aurelia says. "Let's lose the weapons."

"Oh hell yeah," Dick answers.

He advances towards her, raising his fist before he throws them at her. She's quick on her feet as she dodges them. She lands a strike on his elbow before she sidesteps, preventing a punch from landing on her nose. Dick uses her right leg to try and trip her, but she catches the move and jumps out of the way.

Aurelia takes advantage of this. She rushes behind Dick, putting one arm around her neck and the other pulling one of his arms behind his back. "Got you now, didn't I?"

"Oh, you didn't," Dick loops his right leg around hers and uses a lot of force, sending her to the ground. Both of them pant heavily as he towers over her, one hand on her neck and the other on her chest.

"Gotcha," Dick leans down, whispering in her ear.

Aurelia sends him an annoyed glare as he smirks down at her. Before she can do anything more, he leans down once more, his hand moving to the other side of her neck. "I don't have a choking kink, so please don't even think about choking me."

"You're weird," He says, shaking his head with the smallest of smiles. He doesn't allow her to say anything, instead, only leans down to kiss her.

Aurelia melts into the kiss, her heart racing even faster. She puts her arms around her back and pulls him closer. Dick puts an arm around her, helping her into a sitting position as he deepens the kiss. Oh god, how Aurelia wishes this would just last forever. As one of his hands slip underneath her shirt, she tenses, pulling away slightly. "Not here, dumbass."

"Don't care, wanna kiss you," Dick mumbles, before he kisses her once more.

Aurelia wants to tell him to stop, but for her, kissing Dick Grayson is something she wants to do forever. So she yields to him for now, letting him kiss her as much as he wants (as they want).

"Just what the hell are you two doing in the training room?"

Donna's voice makes both of them jump metres apart. Aurelia feels her cheek turn red in embarrassment as she looks down at her hands.

"You two," Donna says, hands on her hips. "Are the worst. You know there's a time and a place for that. And it's definitely not the training room, where we train."

"Sorry," Aurelia and Dick say together, too embarrassed to even look at each other. It's not like they haven't made out in the training room, before (they have, and haven't been caught), but getting scolded by Donna is enough to put them off it. For now.

"You better be," Donna says, shaking her head. "Now, out of this training room, both of you."

Dick is the first one to get up. He helps up Aurelia. Holding hands, they start to walk out of the room with Donna watching, but not before Dick makes a face and sticks out his tongue towards the girl they call their older sister.

"I saw that," Donna yells.

"No, you didn't," He yells back.

At that point, Aurelia thinks she's correct. Superheroes, sidekicks, everyone of them is a little strange. And that includes her too.

I'm so sorry about that lack of updates for this story! Losing inspiration for it sucked, but I'm glad I got it back because I really loved writing this chapter. I know it's just a short filler chapter, but every time I write Dick and Aurelia training together, I feel like that's when my writing is the best.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
