Chapter 28

Talia and her minions met with you and Wally in the middle of a city in ruins near Goa.

- So, you want Jason's freedom. Why shouldn't I just kill you, take Darhk and kill Jason after?

- You need Darhk, as long as you don't defeat him he is a threat to you and I am the only person who knows his whereabouts, besides, Batman might be interested on having him as the League of Shadow's leader, not you. Maybe he wouldn't mind helping him just to throw you to the trash. – you were glaring at her.

- Bruce wouldn't do that…

- Maybe he would, do you want to risk that for Jason? I've seen his back, you've been whipping him, which means he's not doing everything you want. You really wanna risk your leadership for him?

- Are you alright with sending Darhk to his death for Jason? That's not very noble, and you heroes live of that – Talia was playing with her hair.

- I was trained by Bruce and your son, I know your rituals, you can't just kill him like that, you have to fight him to the death – you could see that you were getting under Talia's skin – I have better things to do, so what will it be?

- Fine, bring Darhk to me in half an hour.

You met with her again and she came up with more minions so you and Wally were surrounded.

- What is this? We had a deal! – you shouted to her – I thought your word had value.

- I never gave you my word – she responded – get them!

You and Wally were severely outnumbered but that's when the team showed up and Jason was with them and they all helped you fight.

- I see you called the cavalry – you said to Jason while you were back to back in fighting position ready to attack.

- I remembered you're never alone.

In the middle of the fuss you ended up fighting Talia, her martial arts skills were amazing, if it weren't for your powers you would've been screwed, but you were able to defeat her.

- Release Jason – you said grabbing her by her neck with your branches.

- Fine…

- Give me your word! – you shouted.

- I release him…we won't come after him…you have my word.

You let her go, but she didn't take Darhk and you guys took him out of India to get him to jail back home.

You were all in the Bio-ship returning home.

- What the hell were you two thinking?! Oh, it would be fun to go after Darhk and make a deal with the League of Shadows! – Dick was shouting at you and Wally and the rest of the team was trying not to laugh.

- We… - Wally was about to respond.

- You two are way too old to be this irresponsible! And you! – he said pointing at you - you lied to me! I should kick you both off the team!

- You're just mad we left you out of it – you said arms crossed and looking away.

- What?! I am mad because if we didn't show up you could've died! – he yelled at you.

- I released Jason when he was sleeping before going after Talia, I knew he would call you, we were never in danger, I just wanted to have this under my control – you looked at him.

- You planned our intervention all along?! – Dick was gesturing.

- I did– you were giving him a smug face – C'mon, you're mad cause you didn't see trough my plan.

- You gotta hand it to her, making this plan under our noses was pretty impressive – Tim sat next to you.

- Stop defending her… - Dick sighed.

- The "I'm never alone" thing was a conditioning technique – Jason said realizing what you did – you've come a long way – he smiled at you.

You arrived at Mount Justice and Dick told Jason to stay so he would have a good bed to sleep on and a nice meal.

Jason was eating his food and most of the team was looking at him.

- What? – he asked putting his fork down and looking at them.

- We don't like you – stated Con.

- That was direct – responded Jason – I haven't done anything bad this few months, all the hits they gave me I just help the people get a new identity and leave the League's radar.

- Explaining yourself to other people doesn't suit you – you said while entering the kitchen with wet hair, the Nightwing shirt and shorts.

- I feel like I'm being judged so I'm defending myself…oh God…you actually wear that?

- She's the only one who does it – stated Cass.

- We donated ours to the orphanage near the beach – Kaldur added.

- That's why all of you suck but her – said Dick hugging you from behind, you giggled and kissed his cheek before sitting near Jason.

- I can feel the tension between you too – said M'gann, Jason raised an eyebrow.

- We have a lot to talk about, don't we? – you asked looking at Jason.

- Something we were never good at – he responded giving you a small smile and you smiled back.

When everyone finished cleaning up the kitchen you and Jason went for a walk on the beach near Mount Justice.

- You enjoy it here? – asked Jason walking beside you with his hands on his pockets.

- I do, there is never a dull moment – you raised your head and closed your eyes feeling the breeze – so, what now? What are you planning on doing?

- Return to Gotham, maybe…you?

- I'm staying here, this is where I'm needed and where I'm happy – you stopped and took off your shoes then ran to the water and put your feet in it.

- Figured you would say that – he sat on the sand.

- Since you won't bring it up, because I know your pride won't let you, what happens now between us? – you got out of the water and sat next to him.

- I guess that for the first time there's nothing on our way – he looked at you.

- Just a past full of hurt – you played with the sand under your fingers.

- I thought you had forgiven me.

- I have, I just don't know if you forgave me – you looked at him and put your hair behind your ear.

- I couldn't blame you for something I would also do if I were in your shoes.

- So I guess we could try it again? – you placed your hand over his.

- Third time's the charm – he smiled at you and you pulled him by his shirt and kissed him.

- Hey love birds, its movie time! – shouted Tim.

- Coming! – you replied.

- Wasn't expecting that from him – Jason said getting up and helping you up.

- As I told you, we're just friends.

Everyone was finding the movie Wally chose incredibly stupid, so people just started saying goodnight and going to bed.

- I love you Wally, but I can't take this anymore – you said getting up and grabbing Jason's hand.

- You too?! – you, Jason, Dick, Tim (who fell asleep) and Wally were the only people left.

- Dude, this is just terrible, waste of life is what I would call this shit – Jason got up too.

- You're enjoying it, right, Dick? – Wally asked him.

- What? – Dick was playing on his cell and Wally smacked his head.

- Jerk… - Wally said while crossing arms.

- Well, ni ni guys – you said and left with Jason.

You took him to Tim's room, which was now yours and sat on the bed and tap it so he would sit next to you, but he just stood up looking down.

- What's wrong? – you asked him.

- Last time we…you… - you got up and held his hands – I keep wondering if things had been different.

- Life only throws at us what we can handle – you put your hand on his cheek.

- I'm sick of handling shit…

- I know… - you hugged him and he pat your hair.

- I love you… - you lifted up your head and looked him in the eyes, this was the first time he ever said that to you – finally gathered the courage to say that out loud – he smiled at you.

You just pulled him closer and kissed him intensely, he picked you up and threw you on the bed. He kept kissing you while you pulled his shirt, you only parted lips so he would take off his shirt and you yours.

You resumed your make-out session while taking off his belt and unbuttoning his pants, he pulled your shorts down and took off your panties.

- Are you sure you're ready for this? I can wait as long as you need… - he said looking into your eyes.

- I'm sick of waiting and restraining myself when it comes to us…

He smiled and kissed your forehead then opened the bedside table's drawer and took one condom, after he put it he rested his forehead on yours and entered you slowly. You wrapped your arms around his neck and pecked his lips.

He started moving his hips and you traced every inch of his scared back with your fingertips. When he picked up the pace you pulled his head down and kissed him while moaning in his mouth.

- I missed those moans – he whispered in your ear between breaths you just looked at him blushing – and that helpless face…I have no idea how you do this, one minute you're defying me and everyone else and the other you're like this.

- T-this is the only w-way I can't defy you – you said between moans – b-but don't you t-think you can w-win every time.

He chuckled and kissed you again moving a bit faster, you gripped his shoulder with one hand and covered your mouth with the other trying to keep it down while you came. Seeing you like that made him not handle it anymore and Jason also came, laying at your side after.

He got up a bit after to clean himself and cuddled you when returned to bed.

You woke up earlier than Jason and decided to let him rest so you got up quietly and went to the kitchen to get some breakfast.

Jason woke up to the sound of music and got up confused to see what was up. You, Cass, M'gann and Wally were making pancakes. There was flour everywhere. Cass and M'gann where at the stove and they were singing to the music on the radio. You were trying to show the choreography to Wally.

- So you put your hands on your waist and then you twirl – you said doing the move.

- Like this? – he asked but messed up the twirl and fell on top of you.

When Jason arrived at the kitchen he saw you covered in flour and giggling while Wally was on top of you in his Flash onesie pjs.

- The hell is this? – he asked truly annoyed picking up Wally by the back of his collar and glaring at him.

- He's the worst dancer – you said getting up and smiling – but harmless, so put him down, please.

- Dude, chill – said Wally patting his bare back when Jason put him down.

- Hi Jason – greeted Cass and M'gann in unison and giggling after looking at Jason who was shirtless and wearing his low cut jeans.

- Eyes on the pan – you ordered while throwing flour at them.

- Good morning – you sat on the counter and pulled Jason close by the rim of his pants.

- Hey – he kissed you deeply.

- Keep it PG-13 guys – said Dick sitting at the table.

- Jealous? – you asked after biting Jason's shoulder looking at Dick.

- I am! – shouted Wally on his goofy tone, but then Jason looked at him and he sat next to Dick quietly.

- Why can't we have a quiet morning? – asked Kaldur entering the kitchen.

- Because that's not fun – responded Tim following him and smiling at everyone, Con was still half asleep and also dragged himself to the table.

After breakfast you took Jason to the ship, Dick was leaving him at Gotham.

- I see why you like it here – he said holding your hands

- I'll try to see you every week – you kissed his cheek.

- I know – he lifted your chin up and kissed you romantically.

You stayed at the hangar watching the ship go up and waving at Jason. This time parting didn't hurt that much.
