Title: Arrow
Rating: K+
Pairing: None
And Green Arrow thinks he's slick, Artemis thought with a smirk as she followed the tracking device.
She had slipped it on him before meeting the rest of the team, just in case she needed to find him. Green Arrow had stopped moving awhile so Artemis decided to check out what he was doing. Artemis stopped at Star High and checked her tracking device. It said Green Arrow was here but she didn't notice him until she looked up. Perched in a tree was Green Arrow, looking into a nearby classroom.
Huh. Was that why they wore green outfits? Tree camo?
She stealthily climbed up the fence then the tree, landing a couple branches above Green Arrow. Artemis looked into the classroom and froze.
"What the hell?"
Green Arrow jumped and quickly looked up. "Artemis what - what are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same," Artemis glared as she swung down to the same branch as Green Arrow. "Here looking at Roy through a window. That's called stalking."
"I just wanted to see how he was doing," Green Arrow said softly. He looked down into the school's cafeteria at Speedy - Red Arrow. Would the name ever stick?
Artemis grit her teeth. "I won't ever be good enough, will I?"
"No- Artemis-" Green Arrow called out, but she was already gone. He sighed and leaned against the trunk of the tree.
Why did he always choose the sidekicks with tempers?
Title: Birthday
Rating: T
Pairing: None
"You've never had a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese?"
Conner glared at Wally's gaping face. "I've been alive for thirty weeks. I haven't even had a birthday."
Wally grinned. He so had to fix that.

And so here they were. Conner sat at the head of the table with an inflated red crown placed on his head. Wally sat beside him with a childish grin on his face, looking around the birthday party area. Robin sat across them, playing on his cell phone as Artemis and Megan watched. Kaldur sat next to Wally, eyes wandering as he took in all of the land culture.
"The lady said we have a little while before we have cake time," Wally clapped Conner on the shoulder. "Let's go play some arcade games!" Wally led the 'birthday' boy away and the rest of the human portion of the team sighed, wondering how they got pulled into this.

It was like taking candy from a baby, Wally thought with a grin. With his super speed and Conner's elevated hearing and sight, the arcade games were child's play. Well, literally and metaphorically, Wally thought with a smirk. They already scored three hundred tickets and they had barely even used any of their tokens. Wally and Conner moved from basketball to air hockey to Whack-a-Mole, but no matter how much Wally pleaded, Conner would not get into the playpen ('It's a tradition,' Wally insisted as Conner glared at him).
Robin eventually joined them, followed by Megan and Kaldur, and then Artemis came. Wally hoped that she would stay at the table, but he supposed that he should listen to Kaldur's advice about becoming a team (or something).
It wasn't long before they heard the speakers call for the birthday guests to go to the party area. They made their way back and found the table now adorned with cardboard pizza and their presents neatly stacked.
"Hi everyone!" A falsely perky brunette spoke into the mic. "To get Chuck E out, you have to say his name as loud as you can! Come on everyone! Chuck E! Chuck E!" Wally chanted with all the other kids, and he shook Conner's shoulder to encourage him to join in. He grinned when he heard Conner mutter along.
"Hey kids!" Chuck E 'shouted' as he ran out from the back room. All the kids screamed, but Conner froze.
"What... What is that thing?" Conner's eyes went wide as he turned to look at Wally.
Wally blinked. "That's Chuck E Cheese."
"Why... Why does he look like that?"
Wally furrowed his brow. "Dude. It's a guy in a costume."
"Why would someone want to look like that?" Superboy looked vaguely disgusted, but didn't say anything more.
Soon enough the cake was being brought out. Wally grinned as he imagined Conner's face. "Wow," Conner's lips quirked. "This is nice." The cake had the same design and coloring as Superboy's shirt.
"Thanks," Wally said, handing him a knife. "Why don't you do the honors?"
After all the cake was cut and passed out, they decided to open presents. Wally's present was first. Conner made a small attempt to carefully get off the wrapping paper until he got frustrated and ripped it all off. He lifted a shirt from the box. He showed it to them. It was a black shirt with a red a The Flash insignia on it. Conner looked to Wally.
"Well, since you're always wearing the one Superman all the time, I thought you might like another one," He looked up to Superboy. "You like it?"
Conner smiled a little wider. "Yeah, I do."
Next was Artemis. Conner frowned at the box and lifted it up to show everyone. Wally and Robin were surprised.
"You got him condoms?" Wally gaped at her.
She grinned. "I figure he'd need it soon enough."
"But you got him a five hundred pack. Where did you even find it?"
Artemis shrugged. "I got it while we were at Costco."
Megan got him a writing book. "So you can practice your writing," Megan told him.
Kaldur got him some sort of weird Atlantian armor. "I know you'll probably never need it," He smile to Superboy, "But it is a custom to give someone on Atlantis."
Robin got him an iTouch. "I'll teach you how to use it later," He promised.
Wally was never thanked for Conner's birthday party. But he considered it a victory, as Conner smiled more that day than Wally had seen the whole time they had known each other.
Title: Bieber Fever
Rating: K
Pairing: None
When Superboy got his first iPod, Robin just assumed that he would listen to screamo.
He was wrong.
Robin sat in the living room, typing away on his laptop. The base was pretty much deserted, all of the team going about their own business. Superboy passed through, ear buds glued to his ears, as they had been since he got them. Robin heard a faint humming, and he blocked it out until he came through again and he recognized the tune.
"Are you listening to Justin Bieber?"
Superboy turned to look at him. "Yeah. So?"
"N-nothing. Can I see your iPod for a minute?" Robin stuttered. Superboy nodded. He scrolled through the list of songs with wide eyes. Holy grilled cheesus. They were all sung by Justin Bieber. Both of his albums all on Superboy's iPod. Robin looked at the song Superboy was listening to. One Less Lonely Girl. He bit the inside of his cheek to kelp from laughing. "Here-here's your iPod back."
Superboy took it and walked out of the room, humming with renewed gumption.
