Surprise!
Jaime Reyes stared up at the ceiling of his room. Once again, it was his birthday. But this time, it was different. He had changed so much since his last birthday, it truly felt special.
He had become a superhero. He had gone over to the side of the bad guys. He had been saved by his Team. He had made friends, he had lost friends. His life had become infinitely better, and infinitely more dangerous.
He ran down the stairs into the waiting arms of his parents. They gave him a new skateboard and a cell phone for his birthday. He blew out the candles on his birthday pancakes and gobbled them down.
He ran out of his house the happiest boy in the world, then flew off to Mt. Justice where his friends would be waiting for him.
The Mountain's interior was covered in balloons and streamers. A large majestic cake sat on the table. It was decorated in white and blue icing with edible pictures of him with the Team training, fighting, and hanging out.
Everyone sang and ate the cake. They danced, he opened gifts, they watched a movie, and played silly party games. Then Nightwing got a phone call.
"Understood," he said into the phone. "Everyone suit up, we've got to go."
They nodded and changed into their costumes. They crowded into the Bioship as Nightwing told them they weren't being split into groups. M'gann seemed to know where they were going and flew them there quickly.
The Team disembarked in Gotham, where a group of villains stood on risers. The Joker, the Terror Twins, and Bane were a few of the villains they saw as they walked up.
Jaime was surprised. He had expected that they'd sneak up on the villains, who knew what diabolical plan they had? Batman dropped to the ground in front of them though, and no one moved. This confused him even more.
They came to a stop in a semicircle in front of the villains. Civillians stood at the edges of the square, wondering what was going on.
"Now," Batman growled.
Several villains rolled their eyes or squeaked in terror, but they all started singing together.
"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Blue Beetle. Happy Birthday to you."
Jaime stood there, surprised by the singing villains. He turned to see several people recording the whole thing. Then he burst out laughing. That started everyone else laughing.
Batman waved down the Green Lanterns who were flying above the crowd. Together, they carried the villains away.
Jaime returned to his home that night overwhelmed by everything that had happened to him today.
This was truly the best birthday ever.
Happy late Birthday to ShapeShifter15! Hope you like this :) I'll write anyone a chapter for their birthday if they PM me when it is and a quick prompt.
Have a great day,
