Dick slammed his head angrily against the table. Vanessa had been sick with the flu and couldn't go on any missions. To try and cheer her up, Dick decided to write her a song, or at least try was listening to the radio hoping to get some ideas but that didn't help. He crumbled up the paper he was writing on a pulled out a fresh piece. He stared at it, pen in hand, but could think of anything.
"Why. Can't. I. Think. Of. Anything?" He asked, getting a little angrier. Just then a flash of red ran past him.
"HEY, WASINTHENEIGHBORHOOD, JUSTKIDDING, IJUSTRANFROMCENTRALCITYTOHERE, WATCHADOING?" Wally asked running to Dick's table.
"Wally, how did you get past security?" Dick asked.
"You guys have security...not important, what are you writing?"
"I'm trying to write a song for Van, but can't think of anything." Dick admitted.
"Why don't you write one were you'd catch a grenade for her?" Wally asked.
"Already been written." Dick replied.
"Maybe one with her beautiful soul or what ever?"
"Also already been written!"
"A lazy song?"
"WALLY!" Dick yelled, "You're not helping!"
"Why don't you just remix, you know change it up so it fits her, then you perform it." Wally said casually.
"WALLY that just might work." Dick said then realized something, "But what to remix?"
"Which song is most like her?" Wally questioned when the perfect song came on the radio.
Hey there Delilah, what's it like in New York City...
"THAT'S IT!" Dick exclaimed. Kicking Wally out of his room, he got to work. Half an hour later there was a knock at Vanessa's door. Leaving her spot on the couch, Vanessa slowly got up and opened the door, to see Dick with a guitar in one hand, papers in the other.
"Hey Di, whatcha doing' here?" Vanessa asked. Not like she wasn't happy to see her boyfriend.
"It took me about 10 minutes to remix a song for you, 15 to learn the lyrics and another 5 minutes to tune my guitar; I had to perform it for you in person." Dick replied proudly.
"Awesome, let's hear it." Vanessa said taking her place on the couch again. Dick took his guitar out and played a few notes. Once he was happy with the sound he took a seat next to Vanessa. He picked up his guitar again and began to play a familiar tune, then started to sing.
Hey there Vanessa, What's it like in Gotham City? I'm a couple seconds away, But girl, tonight you look so pretty, Yes you do, Gotham Square can't shine as bright as you, I swear it's true, Hey there Vanessa, Don't you worry about the distance, I'm right there if you get lonely, Give this song another listen, Close your eyes, Listen to my voice, it's my disguise, I'm by your side, Oh it's what you do to me, Oh it's what you do to me, Oh it's what you do to me, Oh it's what you do to me, What you do to me, Hey there Vanessa, I know times are getting hard, But just believe me, girl, Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar, We'll have it good, We'll have the life we knew we would, My word is good, Hey there Vanessa, I've got so much left to say, If every simple song I wrote to you Would take your breath away, I'd write it all, Even more in love with me you'd fall, We'd have it all, Oh it's what you do to me, Oh it's what you do to me, Oh it's what you do to me, Oh it's what you do to me, A thousand miles seems pretty far, But they've got planes and trains and cars, I'd walk to you cause I have no other way, Our friends would all make fun of us, And we'll just laugh along because we know, That none of them have felt this way, Vanessa I can promise you, That by the time we get through, The world will never ever be the same, And you're to blame, Hey there Vanessa, You be good and don't you miss me, one more years and we'll be in high school ,And I'll be making history like I do, You'll know it's all because of you, We can do whatever we want to, Hey there Vanessa here's to you, This one's for you, Oh it's what you do to me, Oh it's what you do to me, Oh it's what you do to me, Oh it's what you do to me, What you do to me.
By the end of the song Vanessa's face completely lit up, she was practically in tears. She threw her arms around Dick and hugged him tightly.
"That was amazing!" She exclaimed happily.
"An amazing song for an amazing girl, right?" Dick replied.
"Play it again, please?" Vanessa asked. Dick smiled and did so.
Two weeks later:
Indigo slammed her head angrily against her table at Mt. Justice. Artemis, who just so happened to be walking past Indigo's door, peeked her head in.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Well, Robin has the flu and can't go on any missions, so I'm trying to write a song for him to cheer him up." Indigo replied.
"Why don't you just remix one for him?" Artemis questioned.
Hmmm, a lot of remixing going on huh? Lol, I'll try to update my other stories soon. Oh and before I forget, here are the real lyrics, I don't own anything except Vanessa. The song was 'Hey there, Delilah' by the plain white tees
