There was lots of OCs - after this I will list the main OCs so you can understand it all.
This is for my friends!
If falling from a plane is your idea of fun then if you were one of those children then you would be enjoying yourself so much you would be whooping. You would not be alone either. Four out of the six teenagers were whooping. The other two were considering what was happening with a strange sort of calmness. If you knew them well then you would know that they were used to things like this happening. Their hair whipped their faces but they all seemed to be clearly enjoying the fall. They were all close to each other, their descents all controlled. They had done things like it before lots of times. The group of teenagers had been on a Lex Corp plane until they had done their job and the plane had been subsequently blown up. It wasn't exactly their fault. An overload of the electrics had caused the plane to blow up and it wasn't like they had known a way to stop it. Now they were hurtling from the sky towards the sea below. They knew it was possible this could be the end of them all. They were in the middle of the sea, no one knowing exactly where they were. Suddenly one of the whooping children silenced. They paused for a few seconds to think and then looked at the five other teenagers tumbling from the sky.
"Grab my hands!" the figure called.
The other children reached out towards the figure and wrapped their hands around their wrists.
"Come on! I'm shifting in a few seconds!"
"Okay. That's all of us." one of the other children called.
There was a pause and then all of the children disappeared into nothingness.
"Thank you, Bruce." Barbara Gordon said as she looked at Bruce Wayne.
He was letting her stay at the manor while her father was out of town. She was sixteen and her best friend was Bruce's son, Dick Grayson. The boy was smiling as he walked into the lounge.
"How are you doing?" he asked with a casualness that only he could manage.
"Fine." Barbara replied, sweetly.
The two of them looked at each other and then glanced up at Bruce. He was their mentor but he was also the boy's father. It was awkward having him around them when they were trying to be be romantic. Bruce smiled at the two of them and then left them to it. He glanced at his watch that had a signal to show if someone was in the cave or not.
"I'm going to go down to the cave. I've got some business to do down there." Bruce reported.
Dick guessed it was one of the other heroes. He didn't mind it being one of them. He did like the league and the other heroes but Barbara was Barbara. Bruce smiled as Dick let him go without protest and left. Barbara and Dick looked at each other. They had known each other for six years, meeting a month after Dick had been orphaned. They had both been ten and Barbara had become Dick's childhood crush shortly after. It wasn't until she became Batgirl and found out she was Robin that they finally got their feelings in order.
"If he had stayed any longer, he would have driven me batty." Dick murmured.
Barbara winced at the bad pun but let a smile cross her lips. Dick, normally proud of his puns, let out a sigh and remarked that he had failed himself on that one.
"Yeah." Barbara said with a slight nod and a cheeky smile.
"Maybe I should call up the Joker for tips."
Barbara shook her head and moved closer to Dick. The boy looked at her with his blue eyes. There was a spark in those blue eyes that had always meant one thing to Barbara: life. She felt so alive when she was with Dick. Her heart raced, her mind was blown and she wished that she could freeze each moment. She had once asked Dick if he felt the same way and he had replied with a cheeky one-liner and a quick kiss on the lips.
"Dick, you do know that Alfred's probably in the cave with Bruce." Barbara pointed out, drawing herself even closer to the boy.
They would be going on patrol soon, taking in the night air together. Batman would be there, of course, but it would be magical all the same. Yet there was something in the air at that moment. The sort of magic that could only come from a powerful connection. Dick could sense it too. He was on the verge of blushing because of it.
"If Alfred is around, we'll give him a heart attack." Dick said, almost a bit unsure of himself.
Despite having feelings for Dick from the time she had found out he was Robin, Barbara had dated other boys along the way. She had been totally unaware of Dick's interest in her before and he still seemed a bit unsure how to show it. It was the cause of many break ups but now Barbara was beginning to see how unsure the sixteen year old was as yet another way it proved he wasn't from Gotham.
"There's medical equipment in the cave." Barbara said, so close to Dick that their lips were almost touching.
A shy smile breached Dick's lips and he moved closer. Then there was an explosion. Both teenagers froze, their lips hoovering millimetres away from each other. The explosion had come from below them. Dick paused and realised what was going on. He looked terrified for his father.
"The cave!" Dick shouted in horror.
Barbara watched as Dick hurried away towards the cave. She frowned and turned to follow Dick. Suddenly the boy reappeared.
"Nearly forgot." he said and kissed her on the lips.
He took Barbara's hand and rushed towards the cave.
I hope you enjoy!
