Wow! Second chapter already? That's because it's about half as long as the first one! Oh, Yeah, I COULD have made it longer… but this cliffhanger was just too dramatic to waste… and then the internet hatted me…
Well, I would use the "quality over quantity" card… but this chapter doesn't really have any action (hero or sexy-wise *wink*) and… yeah. You little fangirls may have to wait a couple of chapters before we get to that second kind of action… (though I will say the next chapter should have some pretty touchy cuddling if it goes in the direction I think it will… either that, or lots of daddybats…)
Anyways… enough talk! I'll shut up while you read… deal? Deal.
Oh wait! One more thing… I don't own YJ…
You may continue, now…
"Ooh! Check out the Boy Wonder! Wow," Artemis sneered, "Never pegged you as the dominant type."
"Shut up," he screeched, voice cracking.
"Who do you think your mate is? Huh? This may just be the yaoi fan girl in me, but I'd like to point out that Wally is single and submissive, so your mate may not be that far off-"
"Shut up. That's NOT happening."
Artemis just snickered as she leaned closer to Kalder. She and Kalder were paired together, but they weren't too showy or in your face about it. Just some light cuddling here, maybe a kiss on the cheek there, but never anything major.
Unlike Megan and Conner, he thought as they walked in. Megan was always all over Conner, despite the fact it always seemed to make him really uncomfortable. Dick could never tell if she just didn't notice… or if she didn't care.
"Hey, everyone, grab your anti-Roy peper spray… he just texted that he'll be staying here for a while," Artemis reported, earning a collective groan from everyone in the room. Each one of them had been a victim of Roy's at least once. Thankfully Dick had only been subject to excessive flirting and some extreme grabby-ness. Some of the others weren't so fortunate.
He saw, in the corner of his eye, Megan reach up and stroke the mark around Conner's neck. Conner took in a sharp breath and flinched as she did so. Dick could feel his breath get stuck in his thought and his eyes water at the sight of Conner's unsettlement. Dick just wanted to be happy! One of his worst fears was being unhappy for the rest of his life by being chained to someone he didn't love.
"Team," Batman growled, "Report to the mission room."
Everyone got up and started walking towards the doorway when Artemis noticed Rob wasn't following suit. "Hey, Rob? You okay?"
"I… uh, yeah… I'll be there in a sec…"
She left and he leaned against the wall. There was suddenly a strange tingling feeling in his stomach… nervous butterflies? "Come on! You're Robin!" he told himself, "You don't get nervous. Now, pull yourself together and get your ass to the Mission Room!"
They lined up, Dick scratching at his marked arm because it had started to feel strange, too. It just kept getting worse and worse. He took his glove off, hoping that's what was irritating it. It wasn't.
The faint buzzing of the Zeta beam beginning a transport started behind them.
Acting on its own account, his arm flung out in the direction of the gathering light. His mark slipped down his arm and solidified into a glowing blue chain, connected to him at his wrist, which proceeded to throw it's self into the forming portal.
After announcing the arrival of the two heroes it spit them out as its light faded behind them. One stood slightly behind the other, and that other one was kneeling on the ground grasping at the shinning red collar that had manifested around his neck.
Dick's chain latched itself to the collar with a loud KLINK, and there was a brief light surrounding the chain and collar. When it cleared the two had switched colors and Dick could clearly see who he'd, unwillingly, caught.
"… WHAT?"
And yeah… I- I'm sorry… that was bad… REALLY bad! But… hey! At least you know you'll find out Dicks mate first thing next chapter! Yeah…? Yeah…? That make you hate me less for the cliffhanger? No? okay… I expected so…
Anyways, anyone want to take a jab at the two 'heroes'? I bet at least half the reviewers will get at least one right!
Plz Review! Reviews make me wright! No joke! Every time you write me a review, it comes to life and continually slaps me in the face while singing 'Friday' until I write the next chapter. It's true chiz… I've got a couple yelling at me right now to work on the third chapter of Heart like a Black Hole… in my defense I have half the first paragraph written and that story already had an update within the past 24 hours… and to be honest I spent the first half of today working on a new fic and drawing up character sketches for the main guy (cuz I had to majorly redesign him for this to even work… I gave him booty shorts because Alois Trancy is running through my mind defiling all my character designs… Uggh! I will never beable to read any of this guys comics seriously ever again...)
Review, plz!
