Sorry for the wait and all that stuff...really bored and don't feel like writing so here's the story.
Jay stood outside the medbay doors (I think it's called medbay, it's the hospital part of the cave). After they had reached the cave she and Nightwing had helped Robin to the medical bay. Now she was waiting outside for Nightwing. Finally, after several long minutes, he came back out. "Is he alright?" she asked.
"Mild concussion, dislocated shoulder. He should be okay, just needs a little rest."
"That's good." she said, sounding distracted.
Nightwing could tell something else was on her mind. "Is something wrong?"
"Yeah." she looked up at him, suddenly very serious, "We need to talk."
Nightwing, seeing the seriousness in her expression, said calmly, "Follow me." he led her to a nearby empty room. "What is it?" Jay stood there for a moment, she knew what she wanted to say but she didn't know how to say it. "Jay?" Nightwing asked again.
"Well, guess there's no need for this anymore." she said after he called her by her real name for the second time that day. She took off her mask, revealing her dark brown eyes. She looked up at him, "So you know who I am, now it's your turn."
"What?"
"Oh come on." she half-smiled, "Did you really think I'd let it go that easily? That's the only reason I didn't react earlier."
"I'm sorry Jay, but I can't." he apologized.
"It's not that simple." she stated. "Now that you know my name, I have to know yours."
"I didn't ask to know your secret identity, we thought you were dead." he explained.
"It doesn't matter how you found out." she said, getting frustrated.
"I really am sorry." he said, "But I just can't."
"Yes you can!" Jay yelled. Her eyes started watering and she looked at the ground, then slowly she looked back up, "I need to know." she was on the verge of tears and she hated it.
He just looked back at her, knowing he couldn't respond.
"Okay fine." she relented, "If you won't answer that question then at least answer this one."
"If I can, I will." he replied seriously.
"I need to know what happened to my best friend." she wiped off her teary eyes, "I need to know what happened to Dick Grayson. I realize I can never see him again, but I want to know." Nightwing looked shocked by the question and Jay, misinterpreting it as jealousy, thought to herself, "That's right. You're not the only one that matters."
"He...he graduated at the top of his class and still lives in Gotham." he paused for a second before adding. "He was devastated when he found out that you had disappeared. He kept hoping that you would come back for months and he never believed them when even when everyone else had given up and thought you were dead."
It was too much for Jay to handle and tears began to slip down her face. "I-I'll never be able to see him again." she whispered. She glared down at the mask in her hands as if it was to blame for all of her troubles. "What's the point!?" she yelled, "I've lost everything and everyone I've ever loved!" at this she threw the mask across the room and ran out the door, not stopping until she reached her room. She walked into the bathroom and stared at her face in the mirror, watching the tears run down her cheeks. She started to wash her face off after she stopped crying then she heard a knock on her door. She quickly dried her face off, she wanted to just ignore the person outside her door but knew she couldn't. When she opened the door Nightwing was standing there, "Look, I thought about what you said and, well, come on there's something I need to show you." he held out his hand and, after a few moments, she reluctantly took it.
They zeta'd over to Gotham and Nightwing led her to a tall and beautiful skyscraper. Jay looked up to the top of it and saw the words "Black Enterprise" shining in bright letters near the top. "Wow. It's so big." she whispered.
"Yeah. They've upgraded it a lot since the last time you saw it."
"I guess a lot really can change in five years." she looked out over the city, searching until she found the WayneTech building, also fully upgraded. Then she looked at her own hands, "And then some things never change. Right Nightwing?"
"No." he said quietly. "Not Nightwing."
"What?"
"My name, it's not Nightwing." Jay stared at him as he reached up to touch his mask. She looked around but no one else was in the dark alley. He pulled his mask off, revealing sparkling blue eyes.
"Dick." she gasped, immediately recognizing him even after five years.
"I should've told you. If I had known, I mean, I could've..." he broke off when Jay ran over and hugged him. "Jay?"
She pulled back, fresh tears running down her cheeks, but she was smiling. "All this time, it was you."
"Yeah. That was my reaction too." He smiled. "So much for the boy wonder."
Jay laughed, "Wow. Just, wow. At least some things are still the same." she hugged him again, "I still have my best friend." Despite her smile though, there was a twinge of sadness as a little voice inside her head said, "That's all we can ever be now. Just friends."
April walked into the kitchen the next morning to get some breakfast. She was shocked when she walked in and it was almost completely empty except for Gar and Jay. "Um, Jay? Where is everyone?" she asked, confused.
Jay looked up from her laptop, "It's 9:32, on a Monday, in January. Where do you think?" When April just stared at her blankly Jay sighed, "Duh, school."
"Then why is he still here?" she pointed at Gar.
"Green skin, public school, secret identity. Again, duh."
"Hey! I'm half-asleep okay?" she pouted.
"You do have a point though." Jay said as Nightwing walked into the room. "Well, sort of. But we do need a place to go to school, smart as I am even I have to go to high school. Plus, I'm assuming going to our old schools, or even a school in our old city, might be a pretty bad idea.
"True." said Nightwing. "You could always be home-schooled like Gar."
It was at that exact moment that Gar ran screaming across the room for no apparent reason. "Uhh, thanks, but I'll pass." said Jay.
"Yeah, same here." April agreed.
"Good call." said Nightwing. "But you're going to need different names."
"You mean like a secret, secret identity? Identity crisis much?" said April.
"Already on it." Jay said from her position on the couch, her fingers flying across the keyboard.
"Okay, how do you have an app for that?" said April. Jay turned around and looked at her for a second. "Right, duh, I get it. But it better not give me some weird name."
"Hey, this program is very accurate. If it gives you a name then you were meant to have it."
"How does a program do that?"
"I don't know, I'm just making stuff up here." Jay smiled, "Okay, your name is..." she hit the enter key. "Chloe Sullivan."
"Wow, that's actually a pretty cool name." said April. "Your turn."
Jay typed a few more commands into her computer, "So my new name is..." enter key. "Terry McGinnis? Okay, how do I look like a Terry McGinnis?"
"I think it kind of fits you." said Nightwing with a smile.
"Like you said, it's very accurate." said April, trying not to smile, at least, not too much.
"I think Terry totally works for you." Gar said as he popped up behind April.
"Ahhhh!" April screamed when he appeared seemingly out of nowhere.
"Where did you come from?" asked Jay, a little startled herself.
"Ever heard the term 'fly on the wall'?" he replied before morphing into a fly again for emphasis.
"So do you do that often?" April asked suspiciously.
"More often than you know." he smiled mischievously.
"Jay, he's almost as creepy as you!" she said.
"Is that a challenge?" Jay raised one eyebrow.
"No! No it was not a challenge!" April said quickly.
"Challenge accepted." Jay smiled evilly.
"I hate you." April glared at Jay.
"I know. So now we have to figure out exactly how to get enrolled in school and which one to go to."
"What do you mean 'how to get enrolled'?" asked April.
"Well it might be a bit hard for two teenage girls to get enrolled in a high school without any parents."
"Oh. Yeah. So what do we do?" asked April.
"We could get some of the leaguers to help out." suggested Nightwing.
"Cool." said Jay. "So April's new "dad" is Flash and-"
"Hey! Wait a second! Why is Flash my new "dad?" April cut Jay off.
"Blonde hair, blue eyes, right age. How many times do I have to say duh in one morning?" she sighed.
"Fine. Whatever. Who's gonna pretend to be your parent then?" asked April.
"How about Wonder Woman?" said Nightwing.
"Oh yeah, sure. Because the Amazonian warrior princess can totally pull off the "normal mom" thing really well." Jay said sarcastically.
"Good point."
"How about Nightwing?" suggested April.
"April, I'm eighteen."
"Oh yeah."
"Billy could do it!" said Gar enthusiastically.
"Isn't he, like, ten?" asked April.
"Now he's fifteen." he replied.
"Wait a second! So now he's older than me!?" said Jay.
"How old are you?"
"Thirteen."
"When's your birthday?"
"July 31st."
"Now I'm older than you too!" Gar yelled. "Yeah! I'm not the youngest!"
"Five years later and I'm still the youngest." Jay muttered. "Well, I guess that could work, but we'll have to ask him."
"Recognized Captain Marvel." the computer announced.
"Then here's your chance." said Gar.
Jay turned around on the couch and saw a fifteen-year-old boy step out of the zeta tube. "Hey guys. Snow day in Fawcett city so I figured I'd hang out here."
"Perfect." Jay sighed to herself. Luckily, April was the only one who heard.
"What?" she asked Jay.
"Um...I meant he looks like he could pull it off." Jay quickly corrected herself, blushing the slightest bit.
"Pull what off?" asked Billy as he walked over, "Whoa! You guys look exactly the same!"
"Well, we kind of are." Jay pointed out. "Suspended animation and all that."
"Wait, so you're the same age and everything?"
"Yep."
"So you're-"
"Yes. I am technically younger than you now since I'm still thirteen."
"Cool! So what were you guys talking about earlier, what could I pull off?"
Jay blushed a little, "Well, since I'm still a freshman and there's no way we can go back to our old schools...well, um...wow this is awkward."
Nightwing cut it, "We need you, well, Captain Marvel, to pretend to be Jay's dad so you can enroll her in high school."
"Uh...sure, I guess I can do that." Billy hesitated, "What about April?"
"She's going to be Flash's daughter." said Jay nonchalantly, having regained her composure.
Billy looked at April for a moment. "I can totally see that!"
"I know right!" agreed Jay.
"But won't April Shay and Jay Black showing up five years later at the same age make people suspicious?"
"That's why we're not going as April Shay and Jay Black." said Jay, then she pointed at April, "Meet Chloe Sullivan and Terry McGinnis."
He looked at Jay, "Yeah, I can see that."
"Really? 'Cause I can't." Jay sighed. "Maybe I'll get used to it."
"Awesome! We get to back to high school!" April said, then she frowned. "Wait, we have to go back to high school. Aw man!"
"Yeah, my thoughts exactly." said Jay. "But now it's your turn."
"My turn?"
"Yep. Time for a family reunion." Jay smiled, "Now let's go to the watchtower."
"Oh." April groaned. "This is going to be so weird."
30 minutes later at the watchtower
Jay, April, Nightwing, Billy, and Gar stepped out of the zeta tubes, April was wearing a tank top and pair of nike shorts borrowed from Cassy and Jay was wearing jeans and a green t-shirt borrowed from Gar since Cassy's clothes were way too big for her. Jay wasn't very happy about the borrowed outfit except for the fact that she didn't have to wear girlie clothes, "Why did you guys come?" she asked Billy and Gar.
"There's no way we were going to miss this!" said Billy.
"Yeah, I have to see the look on Flash's face!" Gar added.
"Thanks for the support guys." April grumbled.
"Well you're not the one who has to wear guys clothes." Jay pointed out.
"It's not my fault if he's the only one small enough to be your size." she said back.
"Hey!" protested Jay and Gar simultaneously.
"Let's just get this over with." April sighed, but she couldn't help but smile a little at Jay and Gar's reactions.
The smile vanished from her face and reappeared in a more sinister way on Jay's as the Flash came speeding up. "Hey Nightwing, Gar, Billy, and- Whoa! Jay and April!"
"Yep, that's us." April said shyly.
"Wow, Batman told the league what happened but now that I see you guys. This is incredible! You look-"
"Exactly the same, we know." Jay interrupted.
"The technology for suspended animation hasn't even been invented yet. This could be a scientific breakthrough!" he continued to babble on about all the scientific statistics and theories.
"Um...Flash?" April said nervously and he stopped mid-sentence. "Actually, we came here because we needed a favor."
"Sure, what is it?"
"Well, I kind of need you to pretend to be my...uh...dad." April winced as she said dad, this was so embarrassing!
"Huh?"
"For high school! So you can enroll me, because...um...teenager. Wow, I'm bad at this." April said quickly, her cheeks bright red.
Despite April's shy and broken explanation Flash caught on, well, fast. "Yeah, okay. I'm guessing you've already thought of this but you're going to need a different name."
"Chloe Sullivan."
"Great, so am I going to have to play dad for both of you?"
"No. No just me."
"Billy's my dad." Jay nodded towards Billy, "As Captain Marvel obviously."
"So, um...if that's it..." April said, still slightly embarrassed.
"Knowing the name of the school would be nice." Flash said.
"Oh! Right! Sorry Flash, it's Fawcett High School."
"The second semester just started so tomorrow would probably be the best time to go enroll, soon as possible and everything." Jay explained.
"Wait. How do you know the semester just started?" asked Billy.
Jay just smirked, thinking to herself, "It's January, when else would it start? Duh."
"I'll be there. And April, call me Barry." he smiled before zooming off.
The five of them stepped back into the zeta tubes, as soon as they were back Jay, Billy, and Gar collapsed on the floor laughing. "Did you see her face when he ran up?" Jay gasped.
"Can you be my dad?" Billy imitated.
"Her cheeks were so red!" Gar laughed.
"And then she was like, for high school because...teenager!" Jay added.
"Not cool guys!" April frowned, "Not cool."
Even Nightwing couldn't resist a small smile.
Kind of tried to make Jay and Gar like brother and sister, i kind of like it, hope you guys do. Not really in the mood for a long author's note so please review. See ya.
