A/N: Lately I have been reading a lot of birdflash stories (more than normal) and I saw this one story that was Dick/Wally/Artemis and I absolutely loved it. It made me think about my character (version of) Supergirl. The way the story went made me say "OMG! Not only does my character fit perfectly here, but this is her almost word for word." There were a few things that needed to be taken out and changed to fit her in, but it happened pretty smoothly. OK, so the point is that this story is the beginning of a series of sorts with Dick, Wally, and my character Rose (Supergirl). The bio for her is up in my profile so if you read it you might understand more of who she is and what her connection is to everyone (recommended). You can skim through the bio because it is more of an irrelevant short story with some relevant details. (If you got what I just said then you are smarter than my brother). IF the author of the stories that I got my ideas from lets me rewrite their stories with my character then it will work out without a hitch, but if they don't, then I will just have to write up new situations for the series. I really hope you guys like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice or any of its characters. If I did then either the show would have started with Dick and Wally being a couple or their feelings for each other would come to the surface over the course of the first season and the kiss that Wally and Artemis had would have been Dick and Wally. Plus Wally wouldn't have died at the end of the second season, he would have been sent somewhere and eventually would have returned or been brought back.
Together
Rose loved both Dick and Wally more than anything. They have been best friends since they were kids, when they came into the hero business. Rose was always considered as a 'bro' to them because she was cool like that. She didn't act like most girls.
She didn't get grossed out by Wally's eating habits or get all girly and squeamish while on missions with Batman and Robin in some of Gotham's most vile allies. Though she did have her more feminine tendencies and characteristics.
She was the most mature of their trio (Dick coming in at a very close second). She had her neat freak moments, like when Wally would leave his dirty clothes and food wrappers all over the floor or when Dick would leave his bird-a-rangs all over his bed and desk at Wayne manner. Neither boy could ever keep up with all of their things and would most likely lose their heads without her.
All of that added with her developing feminine body, her amazing (though not as amazing as Dick) flexibility and acrobatics, her indescribable singing voice (though no one knew that), and her sarcastic, headstrong, caring yet carefree attitude made her one hell of a friend. She was what Dick and Wally called "the perfect girl".
She could also be considered a bit overprotective when it comes to her boys. She always ended up saving one, if not both, of them on missions. Kid Flash always joked around and didn't pay attention, and Robin was always so absorbed in one thing that he couldn't focus on another. She always kept an extra close eye on the two. Especially after the team was formed.
Being on a team meant more missions, more missions meant more danger, and more danger meant that she had to keep an even closer eye on both Kid Flash and Robin than she already did. Even though she might not be paired or grouped off with either of them, she would still be right there to save their asses because she never let herself get to far away.
The only time that she didn't stay close to them was when the simulation failed. Big mistake.
She saw that the ship's gun was aiming at Artemis, and pushed her out of the way at the last second, getting herself "killed" in the process–though she and the blond archer didn't get along most of the time, they were still teammates. When she woke up and heard what had transpired, she instantly knew that not only was M'gann at fault, so was she. Most of what happened was her fault. Her powers allow her to enhance the powers of others, but only if she knows and trusts the person.
She had to have known what was going on and somewhere in her mind... she knew that she did. She had intentionally hurt her friends, yet she had no control. Miss Martian, Aqualad, Superboy, Artemis, Kid Flash, and Robin all trusted her and she had let them down.
They had all forgiven her (though she got an earful from both Dick and Wally before they totally forgave her), but she didn't believe that she deserved any of their forgiveness. Especially not from Dick or Wally. She felt so sick with the fact that her special ability had gotten them hurt. Sure, it was M'gann who had slipped, but it was Rose's powers that enhanced the Martian's own, causing the rest of the team to slip as well.
Though no one blamed Rose or M'gann. It didn't make either feel better.
Rose went to regular session with Canary for the next couple of months, and she did get better at controlling her powers.
As time went on and about two years past, things were like they were before. Kid Flash and Robin went back to their old childish ways, Superboy and Miss Martian's relationship grew, Aqualad led the team with more confidence, Artemis, well what happened didn't really change her much, and Supergirl was relatively normal, except for being more on edge. But no one really noticed that because she didn't let it show. At least she didn't think anyone noticed.
She hung out with Kid Flash and Robin and messed around with them like always. She didn't really notice that the boys sat closer together during their gaming sessions or that when they gave each other "bro" hugs, they lasted a little longer than they should have or that they were alone together more and more without her, or even the not so subtle glances they sent each other whenever they were in the same room.
She did however notice when the 15 and 17 year olds approached her and the team one evening after dinner. Everyone present except Artemis.
"Where's Artie?" Robin asked as he looked around and noticed that the blond archer wasn't present. "We need to tell you all something, and we can't start until she is here."
"I think she is in the training room." M'gann said as she flew towards the hall. "I'll go get her."
"Is everything alright?" Kaldur asked as he looked up from his book and placed it on the table in front of the chair that he was currently sitting on.
"Everything is perfectly fine. We just have some news for you guys." Wally spoke calmly.
"What kind of news? If it's that you finally got Baywatch to stop eating like Wolf, Robin I won't believe it until I see it." Artemis said as she and M'gann walked back into the room. Wally glared at her as she pulled a bottle of water out of the refrigerator.
"Okay. What's up?" Supergirl asked, hopping up to sit on the counter in front of both boys.
"Well," Robin began, looking down at his feet.
After a few moments of hesitation, Wally took his hand and raised it out for everyone to see. "We're dating."
Everyone's eyes widened and Artemis nearly choked on the water she had been drinking.
"We have been since a couple months after the 'incident'." Robin added, still looking very nervous.
The room was completely silent for what felt like an eternity. Robin fidgeted and Wally looked the most confident that anyone (save Rose and Dick) had ever seen him. Though he was obviously nervous, awaiting a reply from anyone. M'gann was the first to break the silence.
"That is wonderful news." She exclaimed, floating over to the new couple, hugging them.
"Yes. Congratulations my friends." Kaldur said with a pat to both of their backs.
"I knew it." Artemis said with a cocky smirk and Conner grunted and nodded in agreement.
"Thanks guys." Robin said and he visibly relaxed.
Everyone gave their congrats and their own sly comments about how they either knew or suspected the boys' relationship. Some asked about their relationship and both boys blushed when M'gann told them how cute they looked together.
Robin turned around and saw Supergirl sitting in the same place with shock still evident all over her features.
"SG? Are you ok?" he asked, worry apparent in his voice.
The sound of his voice brought her out of her thoughts and she looked up to see everyone staring at her with the same amount of worry on their faces as Robin had in his voice.
She looked back over at Robin and smiled. "I'm fine." she said as she got off the countertop. She pulled both Robin and Wally down for a hug and whispered, "Congratulations."
She pulled away from them and everyone smiled. Though neither Robin nor Wally missed the slight surrealness in her smile or how her voice wavered.
"How about a movie? I haven't seen Ride Along yet and I hear that it was funny." M'gann proposed.
"Funny? Try hilarious. Rob, SG, and I have seen it like a million times." Wally said as he sped out of the room and back with the DVD.
"Then it's settled." Artemis said as she and the rest of the team made their way to the living area.
"I actually have a ton of homework to do. AP classes give weekend homework and I have all AP classes, but maybe next movie." Supergirl said as she began to walk to her room.
Robin squeezed her hand drawing her attention, and keeping her from moving any further. Supergirl could see the worry and question in Robin's stance, and she in turn, gave a stance that read "I'm fine."
He reluctantly let her go and she walked back to her room, biding everyone a goodnight on her way out.
A/N: I want to start off by saying that this is kind of a short chapter for me, but I pretty much written the next couple of chapters for the story, I just need to type them up and get them beta'd. I also want to tell the Money Doesn't Buy Dignity fans that I have not forgotten about you and I plan on coming back to it something soon. I haven't been able to put all of the pieces together, but I do know how I want the story to go. Just give me a little more time.
Chapter 2 should be up soon!
