There wasn't much surety from where it had all started. It seemed almost a week ago when she was sitting in the Watchtower, busy in doing her homework when a gust of wind flew inside the room, all of her notes getting caught by the rushing air and somehow landing right over her face. Her grip on the pen in her hand tightened, face gracing a scowl as she pulled the notes off her face and began straightening them over the table again.
"Need any help?"
Giselle frowned, cocking her head up, hazel eyes moving upwards to meet bright green ones.
Bart smirked, leaning over the table to peek at her notes. She glared, blowing a puff of air on his face. The speedster blinked, stepping back in surprise. He dodged a paper ball aimed for his head, smiling pleasingly as the brunette before him muttered something about stupid speedsters and their stupid speed.
He laughed, plopping down on a chair beside her. "So I take that you don't need any help, Giz?"
She brought her attention back to her notes, "I am perfectly capable of doing my homework myself," she gave him a pressing look and he rolled his eyes, hopping back to his feet.
"Hey, I just wanted to help," he bounced his shoulders, before an idea struck him, green eyes lighting up with mischief as he placed his hands over the table again, leaning towards her.
Having enough of his interruption, Giselle narrowed her eyes, curses on the edge of her tongue when Bart dipped his head down quickly, planting a kiss on the tip of her nose.
He was highly amused as she stiffened, a blush exploding across her cheeks on the sudden act. But before she could utter a word, he released a heartily laugh, zooming out of the room, leaving her frozen form in the room.
It took her about ten minutes to recover and start her work again.
The next day she was in the company of her friends in the kitchen, grinning from ear to ear as Garfield went on about his mission with Miss Martian, the teenagers listening to him with great zeal as he told them how his sister took down Bialyan fighter jets with the mere flick of her green wrist.
A familiar breeze entered the room, pausing behind her as she took out a bowl of strawberries from the fridge.
"Hey, guys!" Bart greeted them gleefully, leaning against the counter as he shared a fist bump with Jaime. "What you guys talking about?"
Cassie smiled, folding her well built arms over the counter. "Beast Boy's telling us about how great Mg'ann was in the past mission."
"Hey!" cried the green skinned boy, tail swishing behind him as he turned his attention to the amazon. "I helped her too! Me and sis both did great on the mission."
The blonde girl released a small snort, Garfield swatting away Jaime's hand who tried to ruffle his hair, frowning. Bart chuckled, shaking his head as he reached out to pluck a strawberry from Giselle's bowl, only to yelp as she slapped his incoming hand away, glowering at him.
"Go get your own berries!" She scolded, smirking victoriously when he pulled his hand to his chest, arching a brow before the ends of his lips quirked upwards into a coy smirk.
"Okay, okay," he held his arms up as if in surrender, smirk firmly plastered on his face. "I'll just go and—"
Cassie's giggles along with Garfield's protests died suddenly, all of their eyes widening as Bart pecked the love lantern's cheek, grinning toothily as she flushed pink like the colour of her costume while he picked out a strawberry, plopping it in his mouth and bidding them all a quick farewell.
The zeta tubes announced his departure, Giselle's ears too occupied by the sounds of her racing heart to pay any attention to Cassie's gushing or Garfield's gagging noises in the background.
She was not going to let him getaway with it again. She had kept telling herself this for the next two days until she stood floating in the air, bolting out of the way as a giant fire breathing snake fell in her direction.
The serpent crashed through a field, lying there limp as Superboy landed on it, dusting off his hands angrily.
Lowering herself to the ground a little, she peered at the dangerous beast from behind the kryptonian. "Is it dead?"
"Unfortunately, no." Conner answered gruffly, kneeling down to examine the unconscious monster.
Digging the heels of his crimson boots in the grass, Kid Flash came to a halt, bending down a little, inspecting the snake. "We did a good job taking this guy down. Up high, mi amiga!" He raised his hand for a high five, smiling broadly.
Giselle snorted, crossing her arms over her chest as she leaned towards him in the air, unamused. "Actually, me and Superboy took it down. While you," she gave a pointed look, "just ran circles around it and did nothing."
The speedster puffed his cheeks— the sight making her traitorous heart flutter— as he looked sideways, "I made it dizzy!"
"No, you didn't!"
He parted his lips to argue, then smiled cheekily, standing on the tip of his toes to press his lips to her ear, guffawing when her face caught fire, expressions dumbfounded before she growled, leaping at him while still in the air. She cursed loudly at his superspeed as he ducked, stepping behind her in the blink of an eye.
She felt gloved fingers tug back her brown locks, before cool lips brushed against the smooth skin of her neck, causing a pleasing chill to run down her spine, heat crawling up her cheeks as she whirled around, hands curling into fists as the boy had already took off, his laughter echoing in the atmosphere.
"Fuck!" Giselle stomped her foot in the air.
It used to be very silent in the Watchtower before the Team were allowed access to it. Afterwards, the halls and room mostly rung with teenage laughter along with mild cursing and a little chaos that most of the Justice League members chose to ignore usually. And what was happening that night, was also considered to be a part of that chaos.
"Quit running!" Giselle shouted, jaw tight as she rocketed after the Flash's new protégé, chasing him down the enormous hall.
Turning a corner, Bart let out a teasing laugh, "who says I'm running?" He inquired, barely dodging a collision with Wonder Woman as he skidded over the tiled floor, pausing for the Star Sapphire to catch up.
"I'm just jogging!" He yelled, starting his run again when she neared him.
Giselle stopped mid flight, glancing over Wonder Woman's golden lasso as the Amazon passed by, giving her and the speedster an annoyed look. With a wave of her hand, the brunette summoned a violet lasso as a construct, before she whirled the lasso into a round ring and threw it forward, smiling as it luckily caught the boy's ankle, a surprised gasp leaving his mouth when he was yanked back with great force, sending him flying into the behind wall.
His back landed harshly against the Watchtower's glass as he ungracefully slid to the floor on his head, legs resting on the glass wall. "Hey!" He cried out, "that's cheati—"
The words died in his mouth as Giselle floated above him, brown eyes narrowed into a menacing glare. He offered a weak smile, ready to sputter out apologies. But before he could, Giselle dipped her down, pink lips pressing onto his chapped ones chastely for a mere second, letting a rosiness rise up from his collar bones upto the tips of his ears.
He stammered out incoherent sentences, heart thumping in his chest as green eyes peered up at her, shocked.
There was a hint of redness in her cheeks as well as she giggled, smiling coyly. "See you around, Allen."
And with that, she shot out of the room, her laughter making his stomach do somersaults while he scrambled to his feet, before he started running as he called out to her.
"Hey, Giz! Wait— wait! You can't just do that and leave me here! Giselle!"
