-1Dirty Secrets Chapter two :

Friends in Need are true in deed

By Nos482

Crushing the letter in his hand Garfield crushed his eyes closed in fury she had cheated on him. Not only that but by the picture they were unprotected. Tears welling up he felt more betrayed in that moment than even on that day so long ago. The jump city carnival was in town and He was just getting up the nerve to kiss her when Slade came. He had to get out of the house. His whole marriage seemed like a lie to him in that one instant. Taking his son even though he was grief stricken he couldn't leave the boy alone, he strapped him into his car seat climbed into his green hybrid (their better for the environment) and drove off to the only person he could turn to it was driving him nuts that he couldn't smoke but he had promised that he wouldn't smoke around his child. And it was rare indeed when Garfield Logan broke a promise.

At first he started to drive to Rae's then he remembered that morning and doubted that she wanted to see him at the moment. He immediately skipped Dick and Kori as Star had counted Tara as one of her closest friends and it would just upset her and nothing was as scary as an upset Star fire or more hazardous for your health. So he started to head to Vic's.

As he drove up in the drive way Victor was working on his latest version of his car it was a two car garage ranch house with a huge front and back yard. Vic Jr. who was two and a half was watching his father. When turning at the sound of the drive way he yells loud enough to make his old friend hit his head on the hood of the car. "Uncle Gar is hear!" and before Garfield was completely out of the car the small child had a death hug on his leg. "hey Vic your mama home?" "yeah she's inside" "well I want to ask her if she'll watch Terry for me while me and your dad have a talk."

Sitting at the back of Vic's garage was Vic's favorite chair from the tower days along with some other seating features. Taking a seat Gar decided to get it right out "Vic I found something the other day when I was going through our closet but I sort of forgot to get a look at it until today.. Inside of a letter I found this." pulling out the picture he started speaking before Vic looked "I don't know what to do I never even suspected anything." looking at the picture Victor's human eye nearly popped out of his head.

Thinking to himself Victor thought "if she wasn't dead I'd kill her" "any Idea who the guy is?" Vic asked looking at the photo "Come on Cy the guy is naked I'm not A.L. (aqua lad) I don't look when I go into the guy 's shower! Besides the guy's fucking head is cut off!" Vic shook his head he was having a hard time believing the girl he treated like a sister could do this to Gar. "I know your upset so I'll forgive you swearing near impressionable ears Gar but can you be a little more quiet about it?"

Meanwhile across town.

Raven was sitting with Kori, "I still cant believe I would do something so foolish I mean its not the first time I've gotten drunk." nodding her head Kori says "yes Earth alcohol has some rather interesting effects." looking into the next room a small boy about 3 with familiar black hair and amazingly green eyes was trying to float up to a box of cookies left out on the counter. "Alxond'r (pronounced alc'zon ndeer) get down this instant!" the child new he had been caught right away at the use of his embarrassing Tamaran name rather than his preferred earth name Alex.. "speaking of effects of earth alcohol." Kori joked as she got up to discipline her child. Raven looked on feeling sort of sorry for herself she was the only one of the old gang who didn't have a child thinking of that got her even madder as even that stupid earth mover had a child with Her Gar none the less!

"honestly Raven I think it might be one of those blessings in disguise if you still feel for gar like you did back then." Kori said as she sat down taking a drink of her soda . "how the hell is it a blessing in any disguise Its not like I planned on it." "but you didn't say you didn't enjoy it either." which left Raven speechless.

After leaving Gar went back home rocking his son in his cradle with his toe as he read a children's story about animals. Using his son as a distraction to keep his mind off of Tara. But it wasn't working as thoughts popped into his head "is he my son?" before the photo he would of assumed the child had just taken after her but now he wasn't so sure. He wasn't sure about a lot of things right at the moment not sure how he felt about Tara, the only thing that was easy to solve was Terrance.. Grabbing a pair of scissors he gently cut a few tufts of hair from his own head and a tuft of hair from Terrance putting them into separate bags. In the morning he would get one of those D.N.A. tests done.

Meanwhile, Vic was calling Dick on the phone "Hey Dick, how you doing as the resident private Eye of the old tower I was wondering if you could do me and BB a huge favor?" "what's up Vic what's going on?" as he told about the picture the man formerly known as Robin's face blanched "oh shit please tell me its not pictures from the training room." "uh huh, well yeah that would be a shocker I'll have to see the pictures myself you remember the old email address I'll see if my picture software can find any clues to point something out." Crossing his fingers Dick closed his eyes hoping "please god let it not be the pic's I think they are or star will literally rip me limb from limb."

as the picture loaded Dick brushed the sweat off his face sighing in relief whoever it was, definitely wasn't him and it definitely wasn't the training room amplifying the picture it resembled the east tower.. In the common room? Amplifying the picture further it was definitely the East tower common room cause there was a huge T.V. facing the opposite way than at the old tower, judging by the body type of the guy, it left one suspect.

Back at Gar's

Gar was looking through his old scrap book finding a picture a week before Terra had come back. It was one of him and Rae well actually it was a set of pictures, the first one was Rae reading on the couch, the second showed himself peeking over the couch trying to read over her shoulder and the third showed himself knocked out with a large lump on his head and Raven gone.

The next page had himself and Rae standing next to each other giving Raven bunny ears, he missed those days he didn't know why Rae had stopped wanting to hang out afterwards..
