HELLO, MY WONDERFUL READERS! Oh, Last one was a short chapter, eh? Well, this one is... too!? Okay, maybe NOT that short but it isn't gigantic either. And Hey, I updated earlier than planned! Woohoo! And I'll try to put Rae's POV as well. Also, what do you think about a love square? Okay, maybe not, haha. I'm planning in including Batman (he's my favorite hero) and the League, but I need your feedback! Should I?
And this is slowly becoming a SongFic. Ha.
So... let's proceed! (BY THE WAY: I'm in school now ( T.T) I won't be updating much, OF COURSE I'll try to update as soon as I finish the chapters but, I'll probably update like once or twice a month... meh.)
Trade Mistakes. Chapter 3.
"Temporary Bliss" - The Cab
"Tell me what's the point of doing this every night?
What you're giving me is nothing but a heart
It's a lullaby
Gonna kill my dreams. This is the last time
Baby make up your mind."
Raven's POV
I was perplexed. Seriously, Wallace thinks it's a good idea to tell Robin what we did yesterday? Idiot. No, we cannot, Wallace, we might lose our jobs. Argh, this jerk makes me want to kill him.
"No." I answered as unemotionally as I could. "We should not. Goodbye."
I got up, and turned around. Before I started walking, he took hold of my hand.
"Raven... I-"
"No."
He looked at me, with a concerned look.
"Raven," He spoke. "Look, I really care about you, a lot. And I also care about what just happened between us. And we can't keep this a secret anymore. I don't want to keep it as a secret."
"You don't want to keep it because you don't want to marry Jinx. That's the reason. You know there's a thing called 'Break-up', right?" I said.
'What? No! Jinx has nothing to do with this. But you're right, I don't want to marry her. B-but... I don't know how to b-break-up with her..." He said, looking away.
"What do you mean? You've been trough other break-ups, and you don't even remember the girls' name after a week or so. You've never been the 'break-up-ee', you've always been the 'break-up-er'" I said. He has broken up with TONS of girls, some of them being Argent, Kole and some bimbos that would fall for him again if they had the chance.
"I, don't know." He said. uneasy. "Jinx was such an important part of my life at some point, that I guess I won't be able to carry with the fact I broke her heart. I don't have the guts to do that."
"So... you're trying to make her break-up with you?" I asked. Damn, this guy is quite a coward to be a hero.
"We-well.. I, um..." He started... sweating? What?
"I'll take that stuttering of yours as a yes." I said
He looked at me, and then looked away. "You know, maybe I don't like to be the 'break-up-er.' At least not this once." And then he left in a heartbeat.
Hm, I have always wondered what is on his mind, I may be an empath but I'm not a telepath.
So I walked down to my own room.
Robin's POV
"Oh, hey Wally." I said, casual. I know he has been up to something since his bachelor party, but I won't make him tell me.
"Hey Dick." He answered, smiling weakly. What's up with him? He seemed happy a few minutes ago. "Umm... Can we talk, in private?"
"Sure, where do you want to talk?" I asked. Maybe he's going to tell me something about his sudden mood swing.
"Outside the tower." He said. "Let's go to that little library, alright?"
"Uh, I don't think a library is a good place to talk..." He's being really strange...
"C'mon Dick, it's something I really need to tell you." He insisted.
"Oh well, let's go." I gave up. I wonder what's up with him.
"See ya in a few." He said and then he was gone. At first I saw a red blur, but then I saw a blue one. Wallace had changed to civilian clothes. I should do the same, might as well take a quick shower.
As I paced in the library corridor, I couldn't help but to hear the librarian's and some civilian discussion.
"But, Miss Sandra, that red-head won't stay still, it's ruining my concentration and the essay is due tomorrow!" The civilian said.
"I know, Amy. But he's not breaking any rule, he is quiet and he is not running. I'll ask him to stay still, but I guarantee you nothing. You better ignore him or you won't finish your work."
The Girl named Amy grunted and returned to her seat. Miss Sandra went after Wally. I gently grabbed her from her wrist, she turned around.
"Excuse me, Lady. I'm sorry for over-hearing your conversation with that girl, but that red-head is my friend, I shall calm him, there is no need for you to go and ask him to stop." I said.
"Oh, Is that so? Well, thank you. Please do it as quick as you can." She said, and walked over to her desk.
I sprinted towards Wally. When I finally caught him I grabbed one of his shoulders, and he turned around.
"Wha- Oh hey Dick." He said. "I thought you'd be here earlier. Oh, you took off your mask!"
"'Sup" I said, smiling. "The librarian wants you to stop walking through the corridors. Apparently you're bothering someone."
"Oh." He said. "Dick, I want to tell you as fast as I can, alright? So listen carefully. The day of my bachelor party, Raven and I-"
"Wallace!" Someone exclaimed from behind. Her voice was vaguely familiar.
Various "SHH's" Were heard.
Since Wally is taller than me, I couldn't see who was behind. When he turned around, I saw her, It was Jinx, she was wearing a little hat so her hair wasn't fully appreciated. And it was much darker than usual. Did she dyed it? I think so. Wallace turned paler than usual.
"H-hello Jinx." He stuttered. "How unusual of you t-to come to Jump City..."
"Well, Yeah! Haha. I am only here for an art exposition that's taking place near town, so I thought it may be a good idea to pay you a visit!" She said, happily. "I hope you guys let me stay at your place, It's only for today, tomorrow I'll be gone after the art expo. What do you say?"
"Heh." Wallace said, smiling nervously. "R-Robin is the one in charge..."
"Well, it's okay, I think we don't have any guests room left so you might have to sleep with Wally."
"Wonderful" She said. "So, what were you two talking about?"
"Oh, well-" I said.
"Nothing, nothing." Wallace said, cutting me off. "Hey, w-why don't we go to a restaurant? it's almost noon you must be hungry, hahaha," He said, taking her hand and walking away. "see ya, Dick."
That was oddly suspicious. He mentioned Rae, so I might ask her later.
I went home.
I hope it was worth the wait, hehe. I'm terribly sorry for keeping you waiting, I am a horrible person. But hey, Review and tell me what do you think it happens next! Love you!
