Flash's P.O.V.
'Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, something something some-thing… damn! Forgot the words!'
I don't care though. It's CHRISTMAS! Ha-ha, I LOVE this season. Oh damn, I still need to get gifts! 'Okay, where's the nearest toy store?' Now that I had already visited the orphanage and played Santa for the kids, I had some Wally West stuff to take care of.
'Okay, I need to get the league members something, the kids, Joe the mailman, Supes parents, Alfred, and maybe Robin but I don't know, I mean he never talks to me anymore an-'
"oof!" Ugh, never stop paying attention to where you're going when running at 120 miles per hour on frickin' ice.
'That's gonna leave a mark! Good thing I heal fast! Okay, now I also need to get the city a new mailbox, ooh, Ollie was talking about wanting that new archer's thingie…'
Normal P.O.V. Wayne Manor
The Cocoa being long gone everyone had dissipated throughout the house, Batman to the Bat Cave, Alfred to the kitchen, Emma went to one of the game rooms, Nina never left her spot on the couch, Jacie had gone to her room to finish her book 'someplace where I can actually hear myself think', Kyle went to the study to finish his, um, studying, and Ashley went to the main living room, where the tree was kept.
"Is anyone home?" Yelled out Clark as he walked into the manor uninvited, not that he needed to ring the bell.
"Ah, Master Kent, how nice to see you! The children are spread around the house and I'm afraid Master Bruce has gone to the Cave, but please, feel free to visit whoever you like." He smiled and took the coat Superman was taking off. "Let me hang this up for you."
"Thanks Alfred, I appreciate it. I'll just wander around; let me know if Bruce comes out of hiding though." He said with a chuckle.
Alfred grin grew and he laughed a little, "Understood, Ashley has already made Hot Chocolate, but I don't think she'd mind if you'd like a cup."
"Thanks, I appreciate it!" Clark smiled and Alfred went to hang up his coat.
He began to aimlessly stroll around the manor, stopping a few times to gaze at painting he had already gazed at before, or to check his surroundings and make sure he wasn't lost. But after a while, that got boring and he set in search for someone to talk to, and maybe some hot chocolate, because it was cold in here!
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! RUN EMMA, RUN!"
"What the-"Clark muttered and turned around.
Emma and Nina were sprinting down the hallway, around the corner came Kyle, apparently they were playing some form of tag.
Great.
"Hey! No powers! You cheated, automatic disqualification!" Kyle yelled at Emma, who had tried to avoid him by turning invisible.
"Nuh-uh! Since when?" She challenged
"Since I told you guys at the beginning of the game! God, I'm getting to old for this! I'm what, almost 15? And I'm still playing tag with a bunch of 8th graders. I mean-ow!"
Emma had shapeshifted into a panther and tackled Kyle to the ground.
"You know? We're 14 and still playing tag, so you're not that much older than us. Besides, what else is there to do? It's like a blizzard outside and Alfred cut down on TV time." Nina clarified, smirking at his misfortune.
"Emma, you really aren't thinking clearly, are you?" Kyle smirked and phased through her, Emma changed back into her human form and shuddered.
"That's creepy! Don't do that or I'll sonic scream your head off!"
"Hey guys, being good I see." For the first time the three teens noticed Clark.
"'Sup Superman!"
"Hey."
"How goes it?'
"I'm fine, have you been giving Bruce too much trouble?" He raised an eyebrow at Emma lying on the ground.
"Hey, we've been good! Except for Em, she cheated!" Nina mocked Kyle. He just rolled his eyes and smirked.
"Do you guys know where Jacie and Ashley are? Flash is going to be here any minute and you know he'll want some cocoa."
"Ashley's either with the tree or helping Alfred in the kitchen and Jacie is either in her room reading or playing the piano with Ashley.
"They can play?" Clark was surprised, very surprised.
"Yeah, let me find them." Kyle's brown eyes turned brighter as he used his telepathy to find the missing girls.
"They should be here in a minute." He confirmed.
"That's great. So," His eyes twinkled a little "what do you want Santa to bring you guys for Christmas?"
It was an innocent question, but he noticed a flash of pain go through Emma's eyes and Nina and Kyle stiffened at the mention of the holiday.
The brief moment of tension was broken when Emma said, "Ha-ha, I want Santa to make Nina stop snoring. I can hear her through the wall!"
"I do not snore! You are such a liar!" She playfully shoved Emma, catching on quickly.
Clark smiled, crisis adverted. "Seriously though, what do you guys want?"
"Coal." Kyle smirked.
"Fine, fine," Clark said in mock agitation, "I guess I'll have to figure it out for myself!"
"Hey superman." Two voices chorused, Clark turned and smiled at the missing pair.
"Hey guys. How's everything?"
Jacie raised her eyebrows and stared at the younger ones, "Loud." Nina stuck out her tongue.
Ashley rolled her eyes and shifted closer towards Jacie, then whispered something in her ear.
"So true!" Jacie laughed, and they slapped a high five.
Kyle glared at them, "I'll find out later." He vowed
Before world war three began, Superman decided to diffuse the situation. "'Kay guys, Flash will be here soon and I'm guessing he'll want to see all you…" he trailed off and started walking towards the main room, smirking to himself as he hear the others follow, and chuckled a little as he heard a loud yelp, he guessed it came from Kyle.
"Don't even try!" Came Jacie's low voice.
Please please please review!!!!
