Alright my loyal followers today I give you the last chapter of this fic and afterwards this merges with my other story Heroes United. I own only what I own. Now onto the fic!
"Ah New Year's Eve my favourite time of year." Lillian says getting ready for the New Year's Eve Ball that night.
She was wearing a black long sleeve dress that barely reaches her knees and black ballet flats. She had curled her hair and actually put on some light pink lipstick.
"How can you be warm in that?" Reese asks practically covered in fake fur from head to toe.
She is wearing a pair of fleece pants, a fake fur lined jacket over a wool sweater, a pair of earmuffs and a pair of fake fur lined boots.
"How can you be cold?" Caroline asks dressed like Lillian except her dress was blue and her shoes were blue and white.
"Probably because her powers are affected by extreme cold." Catherine says dressed in a dark green long sleeve dress which reaches the floor, brown boots and a white cashmere sweater.
"What's your excuse?" Mary asks Catherine while dressed in a white long sleeve dress which reaches her knees, brown knee-high boots and a silver camisole.
"I just happen to be very sensitive to cold." Catherine says and then only notices that Lillian and Caroline were busy rehearsing for something.
"What are you two doing?" Catherine asks as Lillian and Caroline tense.
"Well Principal Colson said in payment for going feral on the first day and trashing the science lab I was to sing at the New Year's Eve party tonight." Lillian says with a shrug.
"And you?" Reese asks Caroline who was putting on a white headband to keep the hair out of her face.
"I got caught trying to steal the mice from the science lab. It was Lillian's idea. She wanted to recreate a Pinky and the Brain skit in front of the mouse phobic therapist." Caroline says and everyone turns to Lillian.
"What can I say? I hate therapy besides that was just a diversion." Lillian says with a shrug before smiling and pulling out what looked like a remote control from up her sleeve.
"Lillian what do you plan to do?" Mary asks raising an eyebrow at the young meta-human.
"Nothing. That is until after midnight. My first prank of the year always has to be done on a big scale. This year will be the best yet." Lillian says shoving the remote back up her sleeve where it couldn't be seen no matter how hard you looked.
"What are you going to do?" Caroline asks eager to be part of the action.
"You're just going to have to find out." Lillian says walking out the room with style as everyone but Caroline groans.
"Why do I get the feeling even though the Warners are gone she'll never stop pranking?" Catherine asks as Caroline follows Lillian out the room like a well-trained dog.
"She's eighteen and she still has that Yakko plushie. Of course she's not gonna stop pranking." Mary says almost face palming as they all leave the room and head to the auditorium.
"Wow." Reese says in awe of the decorations.
The school auditorium was a winter wonderland with ice sculptures of the students lining the walls, snow surrounding the dance floor and on the stage was a painted on miniature forest.
"Ya like? Took me ages to do but it was worth it." Ice says leaning against her statue.
Ice is about a year younger than them with light blue skin, almost transparent blue eyes and white hair that reach just past her ribs. She is wearing a sleeveless blue dress that barely reaches her knees, white boots, a white carnation in her hair and white gloves which reach her armpit.
"What did you do?" Catherine asks and notices the big ball of ice above them meant to be used as a disco ball.
"Nothing yet." Ice says before basically the rest of the school floods into the auditorium wielding rotten fruit to throw at Lillian in payment for all the pranks.
She had only been at the school for three months and was already declared the class clown. But unfortunately for them they would have to wait until midnight.
A quick time jump to midnight seems to be in order…
"Why do I have the feeling they didn't come for the décor?" Lillian asks herself before shrugging off her feeling of impending doom and getting ready for her number.
Everyone was waiting around the stage ready to throw but waited until Lillian's face came into view.
"Alright boys hit it!" Caroline says pointing to the band as the curtain opens revealing that she was behind it.
"Should auld acquaintance be forgot and everybody cheer. We've managed somehow, friends, to make it through another year." Caroline sings and nearly everyone forgets about hitting Lillian with a tomato.
"Let's stay up late, let's celebrate, and then count down from ten. 'Cause tomorrow when we wake up, guys, the whole thing starts again." Lillian sings coming in from stage left and surprisingly no one threw a tomato.
"It's New Year's Eve and I'm a beaut. Dressed up in my brand-new performing suit. Got shoes and dress that are washed and pressed like new. I do, and I'm lovin' the view!" Lillian sings as the song picks up tempo.
"'Cause it's New Year's Eve and I'm lookin' fair with a white carnation in my hair. Got a coat and tie and I can't deny it's true." Ice sings joining the two girls on stage from stage right.
"It's New Year's Eve and I do believe I'll hit all of the restaurants in sight. The party's at Sardi's and old Guy Lombardi's doing the countdown tonight." Caroline sings and people actually start dancing to the song.
"Well, it's New Year's Eve; let the party rock. Let's dance, and then, when it's twelve o'clock we'll sing them tunes and we'll pop balloons with a cheer!" Lillian sings as pink balloons come out from behind the performers and go out to above the audience
"Hear hear!" the crowd chants happily involved.
"Bring out the confetti; we're ready. Hey, happy new year!" Caroline sings as the balloons pop and confetti showers the crowd.
"It's New Year's Eve, so let's all get dressed in a tux or gown; when you look your best. You're the belle of the ball, you're the one that they all came to see!" Caroline sings twirling around.
"Happy new year!" The crowd chants trading their rotten tomatoes for flowers.
"Happy new you, my friend, and happy new me! Mwah!" Caroline sings as she stops twirling to blow a kiss to the audience.
"May auld acquaintance be forgot on New Year's Eve, they say." Ice sings presenting Caroline with a rose made of ice.
"Let's give a cheer; a brand-new year will soon be here to stay." Caroline sings holding up a glass.
"Let's drink our fill a' sasparilla. I'm not a fan of champagne." Lillian sings pouring some out of a bottle into the glass and the crowd rushes to do the same.
"And every New Year's Eve it's time to scream and go insane!" They sing in unison while smirking.
"It's New Year's Eve and it's almost here, we'll dance and swing from the chandelier and we'll all go nuts when the ribbon cuts, we'll cheer." Lillian sings as she jumps up to swing from the ball.
"When midnight comes, we'll cut a rug. We'll toast each other and kiss and hug as the shouters and screamers throw all of those streamers right here." Caroline sings as Lillian lands next to her with a curtsy.
"It's New Year's Eve, but don't you grieve 'cause another year's headed our way. It's gonna be great 'cause we're stayin' up late then tomorrow we'll sleep in all day." Ice sings as someone decides to turn on the disco ball.
"It's New Year's Eve; gonna have a blast." Caroline sings as she uses her powers to make snow fall on the stage.
"The new one's here and the old one's past." Lillian sings winking at the audience and a few of the boys actually howl.
"So forget your worry and everyone hurry, you hear?" Ice sings nudging Lillian who notices the clock and nods her head.
"It's OK, be a jerk, go berzerk; have a happy new year!" They sing in unison before Lillian pulls out the remote and presses the big red button causing the disco ball to open and everyone to get covered in confetti.
"Happy New Year!" Everyone cheers as the clock hits midnight and they were all pleasantly surprised when confetti came out the disco ball instead of something else.
"What happened to the mice? I could have sworn I put them in there along with the Animal Rights flyers." Lillian says talking to Ice while her friends talked to some boys who had just started at the school.
"Well I did put some air holes in there. Maybe they got out after shredding the flyers." Ice says with a shrug before walking off as Lillian walks off to her friends.
"Great job Lillian. I can't believe you had the opportunity to prank the whole school and you didn't." Catherine says as Lillian manages a smile before sitting down at their table.
"Thanks I think." Lillian says staring at nothing before truly smiling at the fact she could honestly say she didn't know where the lab mice she took were.
"Is there a reason why I'm here?" Lillian asks basically bound to her chair by shackles she couldn't break while she faces Nick Fury the man who took four of her best friends away (Gypsy and the Warners for those of you just joining us).
"Gypsy requested that you take over the Teen Titans in the event of her going AWOL." Nick Fury says as Lillian glares at him.
"What makes you think I'd say yes?" Lillian asks her voice more of a growl.
"If you don't I will broadcast your identity all over the world including your friends." Nick says and Lillian's claws pop out at the threat. Both sets of claws.
"Try that and they'll be looking for a new director." Lillian says meaning her threat.
"What if I pay you? You seem to like money right?" Nick says and it takes every bit of Lillian's control not to go feral.
"Gypsy was my first friend. I'd do anything for her. If I knew that was what she honestly wanted." Lillian says as Nick smirks, pulls out a remote and presses a button.
A screen comes to life across from them showing Gypsy looking like her normal human self. Gypsy is a 15 year old girl in this clip and her hair is pulled up into a ponytail and her glasses look brand new. Other than that she looks the same as she did in the orphanage.
"Lilly if you're watching this either you've joined SHIELD of your own free will and I'm too busy to greet you in person or you're being forced to do so and I've been deported back to Mexico. Either way it's a lose-lose situation. There's something I need to tell you though. Remember when we were kids and we joked about saving the world one day? Well that day is Halloween in 2010. My ancestors locked away a really powerful demon named Umbra and she swore revenge on us. Ever since then when the next generation is born the last dies when their powers activate. My parents died thanks to that curse. And so did Reese's. If you hadn't figured out yet were cousins on my mom's side of the family. Lilly you're the best shot we got to defeat her. She's expecting me and Reese but not you. You are stronger than you look and that's saying something for the daughter of the Wolverine. Yeah I found out after I got here but couldn't contact you. They never told me why. Uh oh I think I left the gene splicer on in my lab. Gotta run and please join cause we need you Lil. We need you." Gypsy says before she runs out of her chair and the screen goes blank.
"She actually recorded that for me?" Lillian asks tears in her eyes but not in sadness.
"She wanted to greet you in person but she couldn't. So what do you say?" Nick asks ready to issue Lillian a uniform.
"If my friends can join you got yourself a deal." Lillian says as her claws pop back under her skin.
"I'll get them uniforms right away. So we have a deal?" Nick asks raising an eyebrow.
"We have a deal." Lillian says as her shackles release.
And so the merge has begun. I hope you liked this story. Cause as soon as the other story is finished I'm done with fanfiction until my book is done. Not reading a book but writing one. See you all in the other story. Chavonnie26 out.
