-No p.o.v-
-Flashback-
Dick Grayson, AKA Nightwing, felt pride flow through his veins. Today was the day that his new little brother Jason Todd, AKA the new Robin, was introduced to the team.
"Recognized; Nightwing, B-Zero-One, Robin B-Two-Zero"
The two proteges of the bat walked into Mount Justice just in time to see White Tiger, AKA Ava Ayala, take down Kid Flash.
"You cheated!"
White Tiger smirked behind her mask as she offered a hand to Wally. "Sure. Me kicking your butt is cheating."
Dick smiled at his girlfriend's sharp tongue. Jason, on the other hand (and not knowing that she was the girlfriend Dick was always talking about), was completely entranced.
Ava looked towards the boys and removed her mask with a smile. Jason stared at the beauty that was walking towards him and his brother.
"Hey beautiful."
Jason was shot back into reality when he heard Dick greet the tiger themed heroine.
Ava smiled. "Hey."
She wrapped her arms around Dick's neck. In return, he wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his face in her shoulder. Meanwhile, Jason stared on. Jealousy flooding his veins as he did so.
'Stop it. She's clearly Dick's girlfriend.'
"Is this him?"
Looking around, Jason noticed the other members that Dick told him about had gathered around them.
"Yeah. This is the new Robin."
The other heroes smiled at him and greeted him. He greeted back, but he watched his older brother and Ava out of the corner of his eye. Dick had an arm wrapped around his girlfriend's shoulder. Said girl was resting her head on her boyfriend's shoulder. Once again, the new Robin felt jealousy flow through him.
-Time Skip-
They were on an arctic mission. Dick, Ava, M'gann, Conner, Kaldur, and Jason were supposed to observe a secret Luthor Corp. base. Unfortunately, things don't always go as plan.
"RUN!"
Ava, Dick, and Jason ran through the halls. Dodging and taking out any security guards that got in their way.
"LOOK OUT!"
Ava grabbed Jason's collar and jumped out of the way as a security guard fired towards him. This caused Ava and Jason to bump into Dick, sending all three of them out a window. The three winced and groaned as they slid down the slop. Hitting rocks and ice blocks as they did. Ava tried to dig her claws into the ice while holding on to both boys to no avail.
"CLIFF!"
Ava glanced up and saw that indeed, she, her boyfriend, and his little brother were going to slide off a cliff. She clenched her eyes shut and pressed her boyfriend close.
For a moment, they were weightless. Then they were falling.
'I got ya."
Their bodies were weightless again as M'gann used her telekinesis to lift Ava, Dick, and Jason to safety. Said heroes let go of each other and laid panting in relief.
Wally grinned down at the trio. "We leave you alone for five minutes..."
He laughed when they glared fiercely at him.
-Time Skip-
"Dr. Strange and Martian Manhuter are out on missions. Until then, the three of you are on bed rest."
Ava, Dick, and Jason protested from their spots in Mount Justice's medical bay. M'gann smiled in amusement.
"You can complain all you want. None of you are moving."
Ava growled in annoyance while the two adopted sons of Batman groaned. M'gann walked forward and kissed her surrogate sister's cheek before leaving the three heroes while the sedatives that they were given kicked in. Jason went under instantly.
Dick's head lolled to the side to look at his tigress. He grinned boyish-ly at her and offered her his hand. Ava smiled and twined her fingers with her boyfriend's before the sedative pulled them both under.
-Time Skip-
Jason's green eyes opened to observe his surroundings. He was in the med bay at Mount Justice. When his eyes rested on Ava, his lips curved into a smile. Then he saw that her hand was enveloped in his brother's.
No matter how hard his tried, Jason couldn't ward off his feelings for the tigress. How could he? Ava was an amazing girl, a strong warrior. And his brother's girlfriend.
Jason sighed as pain flooded his heart. He closed his eyes. Ava wasn't meant to be his. She was Dick's. Always has been, and always will be.
-End of Flashback-
-Ava's p.o.v-
It's been five years - going on six - since I moved in with Dick. And things have been good. I have a job a tea shop/book store and Dick has job at the police station. It's just the two of us in our apartment. Well, three if you count our cat Meesha, who was a gift from Selina.
I'm still White Tiger. I decided to keep the Black Tigress (or Black Tiger) mantle open in case if there's any cubs in the future for me and Dick.
No. We haven't talked about marriage or kids. Am I ready to have that talk? I honestly have no clue.
Despite the peace we've been living in, I can't help but feel like somethings coming. Something big.
And dangerous.
