Finally
Chameleon Boy and Bouncing Boy were leaning with their ears pressed against the door to Brainy's lab. "What do you think they're saying?" Cham questioned practically flattening himself against the door. Bouncing Boy strained to hear "I can't hear a thing!" he complained. Several minutes passed and nothing happened.
Saturn Girl and Superman walked by. "What on earth are you doing?" Saturn Girl demanded. Chameleon Boy and Bouncing Boy both looked sheepish. "We were just…." Cham looked wildly for an excuse "…seeing if Brainy was okay" Bouncing Boy finished for him. Cham was nodding his head furiously. Saturn Girl stifled a smile "how very…considerate…of you" she commented managing to keep a relatively straight face. Superman just shook his head and didn't say anything.
The pair walked off. Cham and Bouncing Boy heaved sighs of relief and returned to their attempted eavesdrop. Another few minutes passed and suddenly they heard a noise "I heard something" Cham cried excitedly flattening himself to the door once more "I heard it too!" Bouncing Boy said.
Suddenly, the doors slid open causing Cham and Bouncing Boy to fall. The very embarrassed looking pair looked up sheepishly. Nightwing and Brainiac were standing there with confusion and amusement flickering across their faces. They were also, Cham noted, holding hands. Nightwing stepped over to him "you were trying to listen to us weren't you" she said amused. He nodded his head in embarrassment and Nightwing held out her hand. He took it and she pulled him up.
Brainiac looked thoroughly annoyed-and fairly angry to boot-but Nightwing went over to him and put a hand on his arm "oh come on Brainy, they meant no harm" at her touch his expression softened and he looked at the pair who adopted chagrined looks.
Bouncing Boy had gotten to his feet on his own. "So does this mean you're finally together?" he asked nosily looking at Nightwing's hand on Brainiac's arm. Nightwing giggled and turned to Brainy "so does it?" she asked coyly. He didn't even think "yes. We are" he looked at her and although her face was passive her eyes were shining with delight.
"FINALLY!" Cham whooped. "Saturn Girl is going to be happy" he said as he raced out of the room to go and spread the news. Nightwing hid her face in Brainiac's arm "what have we released into this world?" she said laughing. They intertwined hands and she looked up at him "well, let's go face the rest of them" she smiled. He smiled back and kissed her on the nose.
