Isn't Celeste an adorable little badass? Now you know why she's my favorite OC. Anyway, please enjoy.

OoOoOo

Olive checked her watch and groaned. "Ugh, they're late," she complained. "What is it with boys and being late all the time?" She and Celeste were sitting in a local café waiting for Rex and Jon to show up. Celeste felt slightly guilty about not telling Olive about her and Rex, but she knew it was best to keep everything wrapped up for now.

Celeste's eyes flickered up from her smoothie and towards the door. "Speak of the devils," she remarked. She grinned stupidly as her gaze met Rex's, who winked at her in response.

Olive rolled her eyes. "Finally. You guys are so late."

"Sorry," said Rex, sliding in next to Celeste. "Traffic."

Celeste raised an eyebrow. "You drove here?" she asked. She found that hard to believe. "Do you even have a license?"

Rex shrugged. "For a motorcycle," he answered, nudging her. He discreetly wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. It took everything in her not to lay her head on his shoulder. Instead, she moved as close to him as possible without looking suspicious.

Olive looked pointedly at Jon. "What's your excuse, farm boy?" she demanded.

Jon sighed. "I live in Metropolis," he reminded her. "Enough said."

Celeste lightly kicked her blond friend under the table. "Leave the poor boy alone, Livy. You're so intrusive."

Olive stuck her tongue out childishly. "And you're a meanie," she retorted.

Celeste rolled her eyes. "Wow, that was the comeback of the year," she muttered sarcastically, yet she couldn't help the upturn of her lips. Though they bickered, she and Olive knew it was good natured bickering. They never really meant the things they said. Her stomach growled. "Damn, I'm hungry. I'm gonna go get a bagel or something."

"I'll go with you," Rex offered instantly. She smiled and readily accepted, leading him to the counter.

Olive stared after them. "Jon, is there something off about those two?" she asked.

Jon looked at her quizzically. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that they seem very...close lately," Olive explained. Maybe it was nothing. Maybe she was just imagining-wait just a damn minute. Did Rex just kiss her hand?! He did. And Celeste was blushing-actually blushing-and smiling like an idiot. "Jon, am I seeing things?"

Jon blinked. "If you are, then we're seeing the same things. He just kissed her. And she let him."

"Are they dating?!" demanded Olive. No way. If Celeste was dating Rex, she would have told her, right?

"They can't be," said Jon, shaking his head. "Can they?"

When the two returned to the table, Olive immediately grabbed Celeste's arm, making her drop her bagel. Luckily, it landed on the table. "Hey, what-" She was cut off by Olive pulling her towards the bathroom.

Rex stared after them, dumbfounded. "What just happened?"

OoOoOo

"Olive, what the hell are you doing?" Celeste snapped once they were in the bathroom. She was more than a little annoyed at being taken away from her boyfriend so abruptly.

"How could you not tell me?" Olive demanded loudly. "I thought we were soul sisters!"

Celeste looked at her dumbly. "Of course we are. What didn't I tell you?"

"About you and Rex!" shouted Olive. "And don't try to deny it! You two were practically having eye sex with each other!"

Celeste's face twisted into one of disgust. "Livy, that's disgusting," she commented.

"Don't change the subject!"

Celeste sighed. "Okay fine. We're dating," she confessed.

Olive put her hands on her hips. "For how long?"

Celeste rubbed her neck sheepishly. "Uh, about a month now I think," she answered, lowering her head. "Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But we wanted to keep it a secret until we knew if we were serious about each other or not. You know, test drive it, see if it works out between us despite the age difference."

Olive peered at her curiously. "Are you serious about each other?" she asked.

Celeste smiled softly. "I think so, but I'm not completely sure. We are still young," she admitted. "Livy, he makes me happy."

"I can tell. Does Uncle Bruce know?"

Celeste shook her head. "No." Her eyes narrowed. "And you aren't going to tell him, right?"

"Sister, you have my word," Olive promised, crossing her heart.

OoOoOo

"So..." said Jon awkwardly. "You and Celeste, huh?" It was hard for him to wrap his head around the fact that two of his best friends were dating. It's not like he could blame Rex though. Celeste was beautiful yet dangerous at the same time, exactly Rex's type. He was happy for them nonetheless.

Rex gave him a crooked smirk. "Are we that obvious?"

"A little," admitted Jon. "So, when did this happen?"

Rex grinned stupidly. "A month ago," he answered. He didn't know why he had been so worried. This was great. The feeling of just being with someone you care about was amazing. He was about to say something else when the girls rejoined them.

Celeste sighed dramatically. "Honey, the secret's out." She pointed at their friends. "They've figured it out. This could be the end of us."

Rex decided to play along. "Oh, whatever will we do?"

Olive groaned. "Ugh, knock it off you guys."

"Yeah, now you're just being weird," Jon agreed.

Rex's smirk returned to him as he laced his arms around his girlfriend, who looked thoroughly confused. "Oh yeah? Well, at least I can do this." He planted his lips on Celeste's who, while surprised, kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Olive covered herself and Jon's eyes. "Hey, there's this new thing. It's called PDA. You guys should look it up sometime." She had to admit, they were adorable together. Maybe Rex was what Celeste needed, at least for now. She was glad that her best friend managed to find him. He really was a great guy. How did she get one of those? I want one of those!

OoOoOo

After they had said goodbye to Olive and Jon, Rex suggested that Celeste got on his motorcycle with him. "What for?" she asked curiously. "My house isn't too far from here, I can just walk home."

"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I let you walk home alone when I have a motorcycle right here?" Rex teased, grinning. "Besides, the night is young and so are we. Why don't we do something together? Just the two of us."

Celeste bit her lip. "I like the sound of that," she said. "Let's go."

OoOoOo

Rex and Celeste were in the middle of a rather heated make out session when her phone suddenly rang. The couple begrudgingly pulled apart as she answered it without looking at the caller ID. "Hello?"

"Celeste, why the hell are you in some abandoned building?" Dick demanded loudly in her ear. Damn that tracker in her phone. "Are you insane?"

Celeste groaned. "I'm just hanging out with Olive, John, and Rex," she partially lied. "What's the big deal? It's not like we're doing anything illegal. Calm down, Dickie Bird."

"The big deal is that you're there an hour passed curfew!" Dick hissed.

Celeste shook her head, checking her phone. "An hour? No way bro, I still have-" Oh shit. It was passed her curfew. How had that happened? They really needed to learn how to keep their hands off each other. "Oops. Guess we lost track of time. Why are you so concerned, anyway? You live in Bludhaven." Great. With Dick snooping around, she and Rex would hardly get to see each other.

"Bruce is going on some business trip in France, so Tim, Jason, and I are saying with you," Dick told her. Oh fuck. This was just perfect. At least her father left her alone for the most part, so it was easy for her and Rex to see each other. Her brothers on the other hand would barely leave her alone for five minutes. Things just got a lot more complicated.

"So get your ass back home, squirt," she heard Jason add.

"Jason!" Tim scolded in the background.

Celeste, once again, groaned. "Fine, I'm on my way," she conceded. She looked at her boyfriend apologetically. "Sorry, Rex. I gotta get home." She rolled her eyes. "My brothers are being overprotective once again."

"I'll drive you home," Rex offered.

Celeste considered this. She did tell her brothers that she was with Rex after all, what was the harm? "Sure," she agreed, beaming.

OoOoOo

Celeste waved as Rex drove off. "Thanks for the ride!" she shouted after him. She sighed and opened the front door. "Hello? Dickie? Timmy? Jaybird? Are you guys here?"

"We're here," announced Tim, entering the room, the other two following behind him. He crossed his arms. "Care to explain why you're so late?"

Celeste's face remained indifferent. "We lost track of time," she said honestly. "The four of us just weren't paying attention to the time, alright? I'm sorry. Can I go to my room now?" The three of them looked at each other before nodding. She mentally sighed in relief before making her way to the stairs.

She was stopped short, however, when Jason roughly grabbed her shoulder, his eyes wide. "Is that a fucking hickey?!" he exclaimed.

Celeste's hand immediately moved to cover her neck. "No!" she insisted. "No, it's not!" No, no, no! Please don't let this happen right now! She was so careful!

Dick's eyes narrowed. "Celeste, move your hand," he ordered coldly. He never used that tone with her. Ever. It scared her. Celeste reluctantly moved her hand, revealing the big red mark on her neck.

Tim gripped her wrist. Tight. "What the hell were you thinking?!" he demanded. "How could you be so damn irresponsible?!"

Celeste looked up at him, hurt written on her face. "You think that I...?" She couldn't even finish her sentence as rage replaced her hurt and overtook her every thought. "You know what, screw this! Screw you all!" She wrenched her wrist free. "I am not an idiot! I have never, ever had sex in my life! I can not believe you would think so low of me!" She shook her head. "I thought you knew me better than that. I thought you trusted me. I guess not." With that, she stomped up the stairs to her room, slamming her door shut and almost unhinging it.

OoOoOo

Celeste was angry and sad at the same time. So that resulted in completely trashing her room and sobbing violently at the same time. She could not believe that they thought so little of her. It's not like she had done anything wrong! It was just a harmless relationship, but they made it sound like she was selling her body or something. True, she and Rex had just gotten a little carried away, but they hadn't been stupid enough to actually do it. They were both smarter than that. After an hour or so, she collapsed on her bed.

There was a knock at her door. "Go away," she snapped. The door opened anyway, revealing her brothers. "What do you want?"

Dick was the one to approach her. "Celeste? We brought you some pizza, in case you were hungry," he said, handing her two slices of bacon. "It's your favorite."

Celeste didn't even look at him. "Our family is falling apart," she stated.

Dick looked appalled. "What? No!" He sat down next to her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Why would you think that?"

Celeste shook her head. "Forget it." She pushed the pizza back towards him. "I'm not hungry."

"Celeste, we're sorry," confessed Tim. "We didn't mean-"

"Yes, you did," Celeste interrupted. She finally did look at them, her eyes void of emotion. "It's okay. I don't care anymore. Think what you want about me."

"Kid-" began Jason.

Celeste moved to face the wall."Please just get out. I really don't want to talk about it." The three of them sighed and walked out of her room. They had hurt her worse than they had previously thought. And none of them knew how to fix it.

OoOoOo

That last bit killed me a little. Anyway, please review and be on the lookout for a Reversed Ages one-shot that may or may not come. Oh, one question. Who here wants Olive for a best friend. I do.
