It wasn't a long walk.
It was not, but it was at an unreasonable time.
Who gets groceries at 1:00 am?
Apparently he does.
The idiot walking back to his apartment at 1 to get milk. Hands in his dirty old coat, and it's the type of weather were you can see the air people exhale. Plus his red nose is a dead giveaway.
He hears a rattle, and he whip lashes his head. He doesn't see anything so he rubs it off, it's probably nothing.
But it's something, he just doesn't know it.
He then hears it again. The rattle. This time it's louder, closer. Before he knows it he's knocked off his feet and into an ugly alleyway.
The thing in front of him frightens him. It's a mutant monster. With a face that is melting but still in place and arms like an octopus, yeah he's scared.
Then a arrow hits the monster. Then another, and another. And now he's seeing a flash of yellow and red. He blinks his eyes, and in that second he closes them the scene has changed.
A group of superheroes are in front of the monster. His eyes widen in surprise! It's Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Artemis, Superboy, and Miss Martian!
The team!
He's to in surprise to realize that the team had defeated the monster and Robin and Kid Flash are looking at him in concern.
"Are you okay?" He turns his head to see Miss Martian with a hand on his shoulder. He shrugs it off and stands up. He runs to the street but they can still see him from the alleyway.
He turns to look at them, their faces with different emotions. He gives a big grin and shouts at the top of his lungs.
"You're here!" And he runs off.
M'gann being the worrying person she is goes to the street to see the boy who looked a little delusional if you asked her.
What surprises her is that she can't see him not one trace of him. None of the team can find him. Now normally the team would be concerned, but this time they're very concerned.
Especially Dick and the boys because they know him. It's that boy they see walking the halls. The boy that Dick sits next to in Science.
Back to the boy.
Nothing happened to him, he's still fine. He ran home and boy did he run.
He quickly runs up the steps of his apartment and opens the door. Slamming it shut.
"Lucy they're here! They're here!" Lucy runs into the small living room in her pajamas and looks at the smile that's on his face.
"Elliot don't lie to me."
"It's true Lucy! It's true." And she pulls him in for a hug, because they're here.
Their future team is here.
