Hi this is kbunny10 writing this, hopefully wonderful, third chapter of As You Were! :D I'm so excited to be a part of this you have no idea…unless you were the person whose ear I screamed in when I found out I was able to be a part of this…in that case, sorry random nice lady on the bus, I didn't mean to really I didn't. ^^; Anyways, on with the show!
Disclaimer: We own nothing! Well…I own Nix…but other than that I swear, nothing.
It was a nice cool Saturday night in Metropolis, fairly peaceful outside, no problems that had to be solved by the Man of Steel, absolutely wonderful. Nixie Halbach let out an exasperated sigh as she stared at the blank word document in front of her. She'd been sitting at her computer for three hours trying to write something out but nothing, absolutely nothing, came to mind. She let her eyes scan the bedroom of her apartment; maybe whatever they landed on would help her think of something to write.
In the years since the Teen Titans had broken up she had managed to become a fairly successful novelist, you would think that maybe at this point writers block wouldn't affect her, but you would be wrong. She stopped herself from glancing around when one thing in particular caught her eye. An old photo on her dresser of she and her former teammates. She smirked, if it wasn't for them she probably wouldn't even be where she was today, after all she had gotten her start from writing fanfictions about Raven and Beast Boy, now Rachel and Gar.
She hadn't seen any of them recently, not since Victor and Karen's wedding to be precise, and Dick she hadn't seen at all since that one night. She sighed, getting up from her spot on the bed and walking over to the picture to get a better look. She scanned her eyes over each of her friends, pausing specifically on Dick; she hadn't seen him in his Robin garb in so many years. After he left, the team had done okay, but she always wondered if the decisions Vic, and even she and Gar had made, were the right things to do.
Maybe if Dick had come back, the team wouldn't have had to disband. She shook the thought out of her head and continued to look over the picture, pausing once more when her gaze landed on Raven. Raven looked a little more annoyed than she usually did, but who could really blame her? After all Nix and Gar were on either side of her, both with giant grins on their faces as if they were just about to pull the prank of the century. Nix had always expected Gar and Rae to get together, but it hadn't happened yet from what she could tell.
Raven didn't let on much during their infrequent phone conversations, seeing as they were mostly business related, but given that a few of their conversations had taken place while Gar was over at Rachel's house, Nix could tell the two were still in contact, and quite often apparently. Gar was someone Nix also tried to keep in contact with pretty often, at least through the phone, conversations weren't long as their schedules didn't really match up, but it was nice when she could speak to him and he usually brightened her day a bit.
Speaking of bright, Nix's eyes drifted to Starfire, Star always knew how to brighten up people's days, so of course it made sense for her to own a flower shop. Nix was interrupted from her thoughts when her phone started to ring, without looking at the caller id she answered it with a somewhat more demanding than tone than she meant to use, "Talk to me."
"Nix?" Victor's voice said through the phone, the brunette definitely hadn't been expecting a call from him, his wife Karen? Yes, she and Nix had become closer friends since her and Victor's wedding, but Victor? Not so much.
"Victor? Long time no talk, what's up?" Nix asked as she absentmindedly walked back to her bed and sat down.
"About that, you will never guess who I ran into tonight!" Victor said, it sounded like he was having trouble containing his excitement.
"Uhhh…Jade Nguyen?" Nix asked, half sarcastically.
"No I ran into-wait who? Never mind that's not the point! I ran into an old friend of ours and because of this I have a proposition for you."
"Sounds…interesting, go on, I'm listening…" Nix said as she leaned back on her left arm.
"I ran into Dick tonight and we got to talking, long story short, we're thinking of getting everyone together for a little reunion. I've already talked to Gar, and sort of Rae I guess she was with him, would you be interested in doing this?" Victor's question was answered with the sound of Nix's phone hitting the bed, bouncing off and then hitting the floor. "Nix? …Should I take that as a yes or a-?"
"Yes, yes, yes, take that as a yes!" Nix said, picking up the phone as fast as she possibly could.
"Heh, alright, I'll be sure to call you when I have the full plan. See you later then." Victor said before hanging up.
Nix smiled glancing back at the picture one more time, "I really missed you guys…"
Um…I'll admit this is nowhere near my best work, but I think it's still pretty good. :3 Please review it'd be very much appreciated! Stay classy my friends! (I'm running on 3 hours a sleep so I'm sorry if sense was not made from this ^^;)
