AN: Thank you all sooo much for encouraging me with the follows favorites, views and reviews! I honestly never thought that this story would be so successful! I also got some HILARIOUS truths and dares, so if you sent me some in a review, they will probably be in this chapter (I won't actually say who sent me what, but I promise your requests will be here!). Sorry this chapter is so late; things have been a little hectic since my school started up again! Finally, I did decide not to use some of the truths, only because I felt like the Team would never answer them.
Disclaimer: Think about it, if I owned the show, would I be writing fanfiction?
Previously:
"What did you have in mind, Zatanna?" Kaldur asked.
'Bingo' Zatanna thought, pleased that a member of the Team had walked into her trap. Her smug smile morphed into a devilish (and very Robin-like) smirk that set the whole Team on edge.
"Truth or Dare"
Chapter 11: The truth comes out and daring teammates.
They really wished they'd been more firm when they said no.
Artemis, Raven, Kaldur, Wally and Conner knew this was a bad idea, but the other half of the Team was determined to get them to play. Zatanna was sure it would be entertaining; Robin wanted to humiliate them all with dares; Garfield thought the truth questions would help him get to know his team better (and the dares would be funny); M'gann had seen an episode of 'Hello Megan' with the game involved and was eager to try it herself; and Raquel was curious as to what happened when a bunch of super powered teenagers engaged in an already insane game. It took fifteen minutes of threats, blackmail, bribes, pleas, pestering, promises, conditions, and M'gann's puppy eyes, but they FINALLY succeeded.
The sane half of the Team was regretting this already.
Zatanna grinned in triumph as the Team sat in a circle, using her magic to produce a bottle for them to spin. The entire team watched it spin, each silently hoping they weren't the ones on the receiving end of the bottle…
It landed on Wally. And Zatanna.
"Truth or Dare, Wally?"
"Dare!" Wally exclaimed, not wanting to seem like a chicken.
"Hmmm, okay, I dare you to zeta to Mexico and 'acquire' a sombrero, which you have to wear for the rest of the game."
"Done!" Wally exclaimed, running to the zeta tubes. When he returned, a ridiculously oversized sombrero adorned his head, while his arms were full of tacos.
"Why did you get tacos?" Artemis asked, eyeing the Leaning Tower of Tacos (they were teetering dangerously in his arms) suspiciously.
"Who goes to Mexico and DOESN'T buy tacos?" Wally exclaimed, as if doing so would be a terrible crime.
"Can you even finish all of those?"
Wally scanned the tacos, before gingerly picking one taco off of the pile and handing it to Artemis. "NOW I can finish them all. Exactly 29 tacos!"
"I don't even want to know how you figured out exactly how many tacos you can eat." Raven deadpanned.
Wally ignored her and spun the bottle, watching as it landed on Raquel and Robin.
"Truth or Dare, bird boy?"
"Dare!" Robin yelled in triumph, he could handle any dare!
"Wear a chicken hat for the next 3 turns."
"Why a chicken hat?" Gar asked.
"Because chickens and Robins are both birds." Raquel stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Fair enough. Evig Nibor a nekcihc tah!" (Give Robin a chicken hat!) Zatanna cried, causing a chicken hat to appear on Robin's head.
The Team laughed at the sight (Wally going as far as to take a picture) while Robin scowled, silently thinking up a revenge plan to use on Icon's protégé. Realizing that the longer he sulked, the longer he would be stuck in a chicken hat, Robin spun the accursed bottle, which landed on Conner and Artemis.
"Truth or Dare Conner?" Artemis asked, silently thanking the universe she had not been on the receiving end of the bottle yet.
"Dare." Conner said gruffly, despite the odd headgear his friends were now wearing.
"I dare you to prank call Superman." Artemis smirked.
Mentally cursing Artemis, the clone reluctantly took the cordless from Robin (Yes, I'm giving the Team their own cordless.) with Superman's number already dialed in, silently hoping the Kryptonian wouldn't pick up.
"Hello?" Well, so much for that wish.
"Hello, this is Metropolis Federal Bank. I would like to inform you that all your money has been withdrawn from your account, as you asked, and I've also informed you landlord of your moving the Siberia."
"WHAT?!"
Conner hung up before Superman could finish panicking.
Wordlessly spinning the bottle, he watched with curiosity as the bottle landed on Artemis and M'gann.
"Truth or Dare Artemis?"
"Truth." The archer responded, not wanting to risk the same fate as her teammates.
"What's your guilty pleasure show?"
Blushing slightly, Artemis muttered an inaudible answer while Raven and Conner smirked. Raven because she already knew, and Conner because he had heard her answer with his superhearing.
"What'd you say?" Wally asked.
"Foster's home for Imaginary Friends!" She yelled in exasperation.
While the others laughed, Artemis muttered profanities in any language she could think of, sulking all the while.
"Seriously though, why do you watch Foster's?" Robin asked.
Artemis sighed. "Well, growing up Raven was one of my only friends, and she lived pretty far away… So as you can imagine, I was pretty lonely. I guess I liked the idea of a friend you could custom design."
"That… makes sense. And anyways, we all have shows that we like to watch, despite being too old for them." M'gann said.
"Yeah, no need to be ashamed girl!" Raquel agreed.
Artemis smiled and spun the bottle, watching as it landed on Raven and Kaldur, Raven daring the Atlantean to speak like a pirate for the rest of the game. Kaldur then spun the bottle which landed on Wally… and Gar, who chose truth.
"When did you turn green?" Wally asked, his mouth still full of taco. "No offense dude, but last time we saw you, you had red hair and blue eyes."
"Well, it's kind of a long story." Gar said, as the Team listened intently. "It all started back in Africa…"
