Thanks for the reviews!
Guest, I actually came up with the idea for this when I read that. MidnightBlueConverse99's story was my inspiration for this.
Guest, I already have my pairing set up, but no spoilers. Don't worry, you'll find out in this chapter. Not sure if you'll like it, but you'll find out.
Robin(Dick Grayson): Hey guys!
Me: How the heck did you get in?! You weren't invited! I specifically remember inviting Miss Martian to come!
Robin: Miss M couldn't make it. She has a date with Superboy tonight. Besides, *holds up his computer/glove thingy* why would I need an invitation when I can hack my way in?
Me:*rolls eyes* Because its rude and I wanted to set this up in such a way that the conversations would work with my chapters, but now you've gone and ruined it. Ugh! Since you're here, would you like to do the disclaimer?
Robin: It depends. Are the people who actually own this stuff claimers?
Me: *facepalms and rolls eyes* Sure, fine, whatever. Just do the disclaimer already!
Robin: Gotcha. MK doesn't own Young Justice or Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The real claimers are DC comics, and Rick Riordan. She isn't cool enough to own me.
Me:*Chases Robin all over the place shouting death threats.*
Me again: *After pinning Robin down with a fishing net* Enjoy!
I sit down in the library, reading my favorite book. Yeah, even though I have dyslexia, I'm quite a big reader as long as whatever I'm reading is in Ancient Greek.
When Alfred comes into the library, I slam my book shut and place my hand over the cover. If he saw that what I'm reading in Ancient Greek, my cover would be out the window.
As far as Alfred and my dad are concerned, I'm a perfectly normal teenage girl with perfectly normal dyslexia, perfectly normal ADHD, a perfectly 'normal' father, a perfectly 'normal' adopted brother, perfectly 'normal' best friends, and a perfectly 'normal' boyfriend, as much as my dad hates it. You guessed right. I'm dating Kid Flash, AKA Wally West.
We've been going smoothly for about 2 months, so basically since Dick, I mean Robin, got started working with the team.
Unfortunately, it meant that we saw each other more, yet less. We never saw each other outside the cave anymore, which I think my dad sees as a bonus for the team's existence. AGH! Stupid ADHD that has saved my life more times than I can count!
"Miss Alexandra, dinner is ready." Alfred tells me.
"Okay, I'll be right there after I put this book away." I promise him.
As soon as he's gone, I sigh in relief and place the book back on the shelf. I remember that in a few months, I'll be fighting in a war that I'll quite possibly die in. I feel bad about not telling dad or Dick, but I have no idea what they'd do if they found out I wasn't normal. So mysterious death with an unknown cause seems to be the better option.
Tonight, it's just me and Alfred for dinner, because dad has a Justice League mission, and Dick is hanging out with Wally in Central city, as well as probably telling him that if he breaks my heart, he'll go ninja on the poor redhead.
After dinner, I head upstairs to the wall-phone on the roof. I know, I know, demigods and electronics, we don't mix, but at least a wall-phone is better than a cell-phone.
I dial up Annabeth's cell number, and she answers with a, "Hey Lexi."
"Geez Annie, you know it freaks me out when you do that."
"Sorry Lexi. So what's up?"
"Just wondering how much time we have left until the war. And before you ask, my dad and brother are out right now, and Alfred is eating downstairs."
"Okay. We have about 4 months left until the war. Will i see you then?"
"Yeah. I'll see you Annabeth."
"See you Lexi."
I go downstairs and into the library, only to see my dad waiting for me. I run over to him and give him a big hug. He doesn't wince, so I know that he isn't hurt. My dad is good, but not good enough to hide pain.
"Hello Lexi. I'm happy to see you too."
I hugged him even longer until we separated. We each sat down on separate sides of the couch.
"Alexandra, we need to talk." He says firmly. Full name? Need to talk?... Oh crud.
"Oh no. I know that look. We are not having 'the talk'! I've heard it from Black Canary, Hawk Girl, heck, even Wonder Woman tried! We are not having this conversation!"
I start to run away, but dad makes an attempt to follow me.
"Alexandra Martha Wayne, get back here!"
He tries grabbing my arm, but I manage to slip away.
I run out of the house as fast as I can and up a tree in the park.
Normally, I wouldn't use my cell phone unless it was for Wally, my dad, Dick, or an emergency.
This qualifies as 3/4, because I'm calling Wally, I'm hiding from my dad, and it was of utmost importance to avoid 'the talk'.
"Yeah?"
"Wally, it's me. I need some help escaping my dad."
"Why would you want to escape Bruce?"
"He tried to give me 'the talk'."
I hear a gust of wind as he asks, "Where are you?"
"The park where we first met. The same tree that we carved our initials into."
"Gotcha."
A few moments later, a fiery redhead picks me up out of the tree and runs me to the cave, where we lock ourselves into the gym.
"So, what do you think brought 'the talk' up?" Wally finally asks.
"No idea," I answer truthfully, "but I'm guessing he's just worried about me having my first boyfriend. I wish he wouldn't though. I've had 'the talk' already. I've gotten it from Black Canary, Hawk Girl, heck, even Wonder Woman tried. I don't need it from my dad."
"Agreed." Wally says, looking exasperated.
"Thanks for coming all the way from Central to rescue me from my dad." I tell him.
He picks me up bridal style and says, "Always babe, always."
We then proceed to kiss until we hear fake gagging from the doorway.
We stop and turn to see Dick, looking like he wanted to gag for real.
"Oh shut it Boy Wonder!" I shout at my little brother.
"No! Bats has been looking all over for you!" He counters
"Did you tell him where I was?" I ask cautiously.
"Yeah, now can you please stop kissing my best friend? And Wally, can you please stop kissing my sister?" Dick states, a bit upset.
"Dick, he tried to give me 'the talk'! Wally was helping me escape!" I reply, feeling a bit angry.
My brother's eyes widened at the mention of 'the talk'.
"Sorry. I'll stall Batman, you two get some of Alex's stuff from the manor and make a beeline for Central city. Wally, do you think your folks will let her stay for the night?"
"Probably."
"Good. Again, I stall Batman, you two get some of Al's stuff from the manor, and then make a beeline for Central city."
With that, Dick left, and Wally picked me up bridal style, rushing off to the manor as I heard, Recognized: Batman, 0-2.
I grab a few outfits as well and some pajamas, stuffing them and some celestial bronze batarangs into my bag, along with my sword, some ambrosia, and a little canteen of nectar.
KF smiles when he sees me come out of my room and slips some swimming goggles over my face to shield them from the wind.
When we get to Central, he sets me down outside his house while he asks his parents if I can stay for tonight.
Once they've agreed, he brings me inside and lays down a sleeping bag on his bedroom floor.
"I'll take the bag, and you can have my bed." he tells me.
"No, I''ll take the bag." I argue.
"Lexi, I'm the guy. I'm supposed to give the girl my bed." he retorts.
"No. I am using the bag, whether you like it or not." I shoot back.
"That floor is harder than Superboy's head!" He tells me, flailing his arms around for effect.
"The floors at my summer camp are probably harder. Either you let me take the floor, or I'll go back to Gotham and suffer through 'the talk'." I threaten.
Wally pinches the bridge of his nose in exasperation.
"You are so stubborn." he tells me.
I smile and say, "Just like my old man and little brother."
He grabs me by the waist and pulls me into a kiss.
"I love you Lexi, a lot. I really wish Bats would let you join the team."
"I'm the last biological family he has left, he'd never let me do it. That's why he never trained me. However, I did manage to train myself at my camp. Can't believe I'm leaving for it tomorrow."
Wally pulls me a little closer and says, "Is that part of the reason you don't mind sharing a room with your boyfriend?"
"Yeah. I want to spend as much time with you as possible before I go to camp."
Later, I'm already snuggled into the bag as Wally comes in from one of his 'midnight snacks'.
My breathing is already deep and shallow because I'm almost asleep, so he assumes that I'm off in dream land.
He kneels down close to me and says, "Goodnight kitten. Sweet dreams. I love you."
I fell fully asleep right after he said that.
