"You're insane."

"Please don't tell me that you're bailing when we're already here."

"Are you kidding? Of course we're still doing it!" He laughs. "But you're still insane," she adds, flashing him a smile. Her perfect, pearly white teeth are practically luminescent in the moonlight, as if she needed another thing about her that he loves. Maybe he'll tell her that, too, someday.

"Then why'd you agree to it?" he asks playfully.

"I'm pretty insane myself." He grins at her, and she leans over the dock a little to stare at their reflection against the dark water. "We'll be freezing."

"It'll be fun."

She laughs, and when he holds out his hand, she laces their fingers together and squeezes. They're probably just going to wake everyone up as soon as they hit the water, but whatever. The others were the ones that wanted to go camping before winter hit, and if he wants to jump into a lake in the middle of the night with Zatanna, he's going to.

"Let's go before the reasonable part of my brain convinces me that this is a terrible idea."

He nods, says, "One… two…"

"Three!"

And they jump.

Their hands stay joined even after they hit the water. It feels like he got caught in a Gotham rainstorm, except water's hitting him from every direction instead of wind.

The first thing he hears when he resurfaces is her voice. "This is the worst idea you've ever had!" she shrieks.

"That's just the cold talking," he shouts back, even though he's convinced he just instantaneously lost all of the feeling in his body. She splashes water over his head and giggles, and his laugh comes out quivering because he's freezing. Like, his body is seriously numb right now, and he'll bet that it'll be even colder as soon as they get out of the water.

Maybe they should've thought this out more. Or, he could've thought this out more.

"Are you guys insane?" a voice yells, and he looks up to find Raquel making her way down the small dock. "You guys could get seriously sick by doing this!"

Zatanna furrows her eyebrows. "Were you watching us?"

"Kaldur and I woke up by all the noise you two were making," Raquel explains. "We didn't think you'd actually jump!"

"Clearly you don't know us very well," he says, earning him a glare, but then Kaldur is making his way over with a pile in his arms and Raquel seems to push away whatever threats that are bubbling to the surface of her mind.

God, blankets have never looked so warm before…

"I take it this was Dick's idea," Kaldur says. Dick grins and Kaldur's lip curves upward in amusement, which is kind of surprising. But really, because ever since Raquel joined the Team and even before they admitted they were together, he'd learned how to be more relaxed. And apparently according to Icon, Raquel is not as easily tempered as she used to be.

They're really good together.

Anyway, Kaldur pulls Zatanna out of the water first and then him, and he wraps Dick in one robe, and then another, and then drapes a towel over his shoulders as Raquel is doing the same to Zatanna. It's still freezing cold, but it already feels better than being in the water.

Kaldur or Raquel must've relit their campfire from a few hours ago, because it's burning brightly between their campsite and the lake as they start walking back.

He and Zatanna sit down huddled together on one log, drying their feet off so they can put a few layers of socks on while Kaldur checks on the fire while Raquel wraps Zatanna's wet hair in towel. Then she disappears back into the tent and emerges with two more blankets, drapes one across both of their laps and another over both of their shoulders.

He's still cold, but he can feel the heat of the fire against his skin as it slowly warms the layers he's bundled in and thinks he may be beginning to get back the feeling in his toes.

"Well, since we're already awake, we might as well make more s'mores," Raquel says. "Please don't do anything else while we go get the stuff."

Zatanna sticks her tongue out, which earns her a chuckle from Kaldur before he follows Raquel around the tents.

"I'm still freezing cold," Zatanna laughs, teeth chattering.

"It was worth it," he says. She gives him a smile and nods softly. "Thanks for jumping in with me."

She shrugs a little, which is barely visible underneath all of the layers, and then shifts to lean herself against his side. "I'd do a lot of stupid stuff just for you," she says. It sounds like a promise and he doesn't mind it at all. He just loves spending time with her.

But it's still awesome when it involves stupid stuff.
