June stared at the dress, gob smacked. Where in the world did Bart get that?!
But she didn't feel like arguing, so instead she put the dress and shoes on. Then she put the bracelet on. It all looked great on her. She then came out of the changing room and saw Bart in a suit. June's eyes then got all wide when she saw him.
June has never seen Bart in a suit. Never. It looked amazing on him. He then turned to her and smiled.
"You look amazing June."
"Thanks so do you." She then handed Bart the bag and he zoomed off and came back thirty seconds later. He then held his arm out.
"Shall we?" June put her hand on his arm and nodded.
Bart led her to their seats next to a large window with an amazing view of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. June exhaled in wonder; how many thirteen year old girls could say their cute boyfriend ran them all the way to Italy?
"June?" Bart asked, snapping June back. She smiled at him.
"Just thinking about things." She replied, before she felt as though someone was watching her. June glanced around nervously, but was determined to stay focused on their date.
They were just two normal civilians on a date... in Italy. June blinked, but mentally shook her head at that. Ignoring that bit, they were just a pair of everyday teenagers on a date.
"So, what happened while you, Gar, and Jaime were with the Reach? You already know what I was doing at the time." June asked, referring to her time spend on that godforsaken island full of ninjas. Bart then looked at her.
"Well, me, Blue, and BB got captured by Aqualad and his crew. He threatened to blow up the mountain but that didn't happen. It was just a major bluff." The waiter then came by and gave them their drinks. The waiter then took their order and walked off with the menus.
"Really?"
"Yeah but your bro and the team rescued us. The Reach mainly wanted blue to put him on mode. But I stopped them before it could even happen." Bart said as he took a drink of his water.
"You okay?" she asked, giving him a worried look.
"Don't worry," Bart flashed her that grin.
Suddenly, June lowered her voice. "Why do I feel like we're being watched?"
With Barry and Bruce, three tables away
"They're onto us!" Barry hissed, eyes wide,
"Stay focused, Allen!" Bruce growled.
"You know, June is going to kill us!" Barry whimpered.
"Grow a back bone,"
With Jaime and Caitilin, two tables away
"They're onto us!" Jaime whispered.
"Shut up and stay down! As long as you stay quiet and not look at them that much, then they won't think that we are watching them." Caitilin said as she turned to Jaime. He then smiled at her.
"You know a lot on being covert don't you?"
"When you spend almost two years in Russia, training under the eye of Ra's Al Ghul you tend to learn a lot." Caitilin said as she to a drink of her iced tea. Jaime then reached across the table and put his hand on top of her's.
"I really like spending time with you Cay." Caitilin then blushed the second his hand touched hers. Jaime noticed that Caitilin was starting to blush, which made him crack a smile. Then he leaned over a little bit to look over at Bart and June.
"So, you don't mind spying on them as our first date?" Caitilin asked, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
"Bart's my amigo, and he stole my chicken whizzies before. You can't say he doesn't deserve this." Jaime smiled at her.
"You boys and your chicken whizzies." Caitilin mockingly shook her head.
Jaime laughed, taking a sip of his soda. "So, still wearing those earrings?"
Caitilin touched the earrings that reverse engineered the mind control. "We still haven't found out how Ra's managed to mind control me, and honestly, if it means I won't attack my cousin and you guys, I'll wear this everyday for the rest of my life. I think June's planning on breaking into STAR Labs or something to find more info."
"Why doesn't she just walk in and ask? She's got close ties to the League and she's on the team." Jaime looked confused.
"Ahh... she got kicked out of the labs a while back... been banned ever since." Caitilin snickered at the memory.
"What did she do so badly that made them kick her out?"
"Let's just say it involved chocolate, lots of rope, sharks, and spray paint." Caitilin said vaguely.
Jaime then gave her a shocked look. June vandalizing STAR labs? That doesn't sound like the June he knows.
"Really?" Caitlin then nodded.
"Yeah she's like a mixture of me and Jason but smaller. She likes to prank people like me and destroying stuff like Jason." She said as Jaime smiled at her. Then his phone. He quickly got it out of his back pocket. He noticed it was his mom.
"Hola, momma. No, I'm on a date right now. Si, with a girl." Jaime gave her an embarrassed expression which made Caitlin giggle. The conversation of Jaime and his mom was too funny!
"Alright alright mom I'll do it when I get home. Alright. Bye." Then he finally hung up and put his phone back in his back pocket and looked back at Caitlin.
"Not funny." He mock glared. Caitilin just laughed harder.
"Shh! They're talking!" Caitilin whispered suddenly, leaning into her comm. link.
"When did you set a bug on June?"
"Back when she was helping me pick out the dress. She didn't notice." Caitilin grinned, putting a finger to her lips. "Ugh, it's all static." She grumbled, twisting the knob lightly.
All they heard was, '-Artemis- Wally- Nightwing- hiding- secret- Tigress- Aqualad.'
Jaime looked at her with confusion. Caitilin finally fixed it, in time for them to hear, 'So you don't think she's dead?'.
'No... Bart, what happens in the future?'
They heard a pause.
'I can't... it'll crash the whole time stream and then-'
'We'll all be feeling the mode, I get it.' June sighed.
'But, it's coming soon... and it's going to hurt a lot of people on the team.' Bart whispered, so low that they could barely hear. June didn't reply.
Caitlin then gave Jaime a shocked look.
"What do you think they are talking about?"
"I have no idea but I'm starting to get worried on what's going to happen to the team." The all of a sudden the waiter appeared with their food and refilled their drinks. Then he walked away.
"I really want to know what they are talking about over there." Caitlin said as she started to eat her food. Jaime then nodded in agreement.
With June and Bart
June then turned around and looked over her shoulder. She could have sworn she spotted two men that looked like Barry and Bruce. Then she spotted a teenage couple. She thought that the couple looked like Caitlin and Jaime. Maybe it was just her imagination. She turned back to Bart.
He had a strange look on his face. "You okay?" June asked softly, putting her hand on top of his.
"Yeah, just distracted by your looks." Bart flashed her a flirtatious smile.
June opened her mouth several times, her cheeks turning pink. Bart inwardly laughed at the sight of the great Phoenix completely flustered.
She really didn't know what to say about that. When he started to laugh, she just smiled. She could feel her face getting a little hot for some reason. Bart then stopped laughing. Their waiter then came by with the food and set it infront of them.
"I am so sorry for the wait."
"It's alright." The waiter then smiled at them, refilled their drinks and walked off. Bart then leaned over and his eyes got wide with shock.
"What is it?"
"I... I think I see grandpa and your dad at the next table over." June then turned around and saw them at other side of the room, eating their meal. June couldn't believe it! What was Barry and Bruce doing here? Then she noticed the boy that looked like Jaime. She then realized that it was Jaime. She then turned back around and looked at Bart.
"Even Jaime is here." She said as Bart looked at her funny.
"Wait...isn't he supposed to be on a date with Caitilin?" June then face palmed herself. Of course! Caitilin's first date with Jaime was going on right now. But why are they here?
June's blood boiled, and her eyes flashed dangerously. She slowly brushed her fingers through her coat, freezing in shock as she felt a small metal object on it. June mouthed the word 'bugs' to Bart. His eyes widened, and he looked angry.
'Follow my lead' she mouthed, a mischievous look lighting up her face. Bart nodded.
"So, Bart, what are we going to do after this? You want to sneak into that club in New York?"
Bart's face was a mixture of emotions, as June sounded so... real. He regained himself. "That'd be awesome! And then maybe we can hang out at my place... Jay and Joan aren't going to be here a while you know..." He added.
June tried not to let her shock show. She hadn't known Bart was such a good actor... and that he could have thoughts like that. She shrugged it off and continued.
With Caitlin and Jaime
That boy better run as fast as he can! Why? Because that boy is dead! Caitlin was pissed! That idiot boy wanted to get in bed with her baby cousin! She didn't realize it but Caitlin was giving off a look that kill someone.
"Um...cay?"
"Yeah?"
"You alright chica? You look like your going to kill someone." Jaime said as he put his hand on top of Caitlin's. once again te butterflies returned to Caitlin's stomach.
"Yeah I'm fine it's just that I'm already planning on how I'm going to kill Bart." She said in a nonchalant voice.
"Why? What did that moron do now?"
"He's trying to get in bed with June. I'm considering about throwing a steak knife at his head." She said as she started to eye the steak knife. Jaime then moved the knife away from Caitlin.
"You know June. She's smart. There would be no way she would let that happen."
"Oh really? She just agreed to go home with Bart after dinner." Jaime then gave her a shocked look. Caitlin really did look like she was about to throw something sharp at Bart. Then he got an idea.
"How about this. We wait until after dinner and are what they do okay?" Caitlin then nodded.
With June and Bart
June couldn't believe how fun this would be. Tricking whoever put the bug on her, thinking her and Bart were gonna get in bed with each other! Too funny! She then started to wonder who put the bug on her and how.
Well, June hadn't seen Bruce since breakfast, when he had hugged her before rushing out the door to the work. And she put that coat on before heading to the mountain... before helping Caitilin with her outfit for her date. The same date that was happening two tables away from her.
June's eyes flashed. Ooooh, she was sooooo going to regret this.
"That'll be great." June flashed Bart a smile.
Little did she know, there was another bug, well hidden on her headband, made by Wayne Tech. and currently being used by it's inventor.
With Bruce and Barry
"That little ***********!" Bruce growled, about to stand up, but Barry pulled him down.
"Don't! You really want to make a scene in front of all these people!?" Barry hissed.
Bruce's eyes were flashing dangerously. "You're grandson is trying to DO IT with my daughter!" He whispered-screamed, "I will not stand for this!"
"Yeah, well you're going to have to! You really want us to end up in jail after going to a fancy restaurant? Again?" Barry argued.
Bruce remembered that time he, Diana, Clark, and Barry ended up going to some restaurant in Metropolis, only to get kicked out for causing 'too much of a ruckus'.
"You're grandson better keep it in his pants." Bruce threatened.
Barry then gave him a look.
"Look Bruce me and him are already going to have a nice long talk about this." Bruce then gave him a glare.
"Maybe we should get going. I have to get back to the office." Bruce said as he started to pay for the check. Barry then nodded. He needed to get back and get ready for the long talk he was going to have with Bart.
"Keep me posted alright?" He said as they got up and left. Bruce then nodded and walked out of the restaurant.
With June and Bart
June noticed that Bruce and Barry have left. That's good but it still leaves Jaime and Caitlin a couple tables away from them. Then all of a sudden, the waiter came by and took their empty plates and gave them the check. Bart grabbed the check and looked at it. Then he look out about $50 and put it on the table.
"Aren't you going to pay it?"
"I am. When you pay the check you can either leave it on the table or pay at the register. I thought it would be better to pay with it on the table." He said as he signed the check and put it back in the little booklet the waiter gave them. Then they both got up and left.
"Home?" June asked, her eyes sparkling as she picked up her coat, making sure the bug would hear her.
Bart tried his best to hold in his laughter. "Of course."
He picked her up and they sped to America.
Caitilin abruptly stood up, eyes burning. "Come on, Jaime, we've got an innocence to save."
Jaime, completely agreeing with her, left money on the table and chased after her to the nearest Zeta Tube.
At Garrick's Household
"You want us to what?" Joan asked.
"Just go in the back yard and pretend you're not home. We bait them into the bedroom and mud falls on them," Bart explained. June was in the other room, setting up the trap.
"Why?" Jay asked, looking confused. Bart took a deep breath and explained in rapid fire speedster talk the issue about the bug.
"They have it coming," He eventually agreed. Bart breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks! This is going to be totally crash," Bart grinned. June then came in the room with her jacket off and looked at Bart.
"The trap is ready. We need to go through the wall so the trap doesn't hit us." She said as Bart agreed.
Joan and Jay left the room and went to the backyard. Bart held onto June and vibrated through the wall. They sat on the bed and watched TV. What seemed forever was actually about ten minutes when they finally heard the door open and close downstairs. And it sounded like the front door.
June cupped her hands over her mouth, holding in her giggles. Bart grinned, grabbing June and speeding off into a hiding space. They could hear voices downstairs.
"Caitilin! What are you doing here?!" Bruce demanded.
"What are YOU doing here?!" Caitilin snapped.
"I'm here to stop that boy from taking my daughter's innocence!"
"Yeah, well i'm here to KILL that idiot boy for even suggesting it! THEN I'm gonna kill June for agreeing to it!"
"Err, we might wanna stop them now." Jaime pointed out.
"BART! YOU BETTER BE SAFE!" Barry shouted. June saw Bart's face turn red
There were footsteps in the hall, and the four burst into the bedroom. They got a face full of mud.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Caitilin cursed loudly in another language.
"SHUT UP SCARAB!" Jaime yelled, his hand transforming into a blaster. "We are not under attack!"
Suddenly, millions if feathers appeared out of nowhere, covering every inch of their bodies. Laughter echoed the hallway. Bruce, Barry, Jaime, and Caitilin turned around to see June and Bart behind them, both with cameras in their hands.
Then the next thing they know, a shuriken flew towards Bart and landed right next to him, pinning the shoulder of his shirt against the wall. Bart dropped the camera during the impact, since he wasn't expecting it. He looked up and saw Caitlin walking over to him with another shuriken in hand. Bart streamed to get terrified.
"You little bastard!"
"Caitlin stop!" June was just about to stop her cousin when she suddenly dropped to her knees. She had her hands covering her ears as if it could stop whatever was happening.
"Caitlin! Are you alright?" June asked as she knelt down next to her cousin. What was going on?
"Caitlin!" June shouted, going into full panic mode. Suddenly, Caitilin stopped. She looked up, holding her head.
"You okay?"
"Why would I!? Your goddamn boyfriend was trying to get in bed with you!"
Taken aback, June went defensive. It was as if her sudden headache hadn't happened
"We wouldn't have said that if we weren't trying to trick you!"
Jaime then walked over to Caitlin and helped her up. He gave June a confused look.
"Trick us? What do you mean?"
"I know you guys bugged me!" Caitlin and Bruce froze. How did she know that?
"I felt one of your little bugs on my jacket." Bruce then relaxed a little bit. She hasn't realized that tere was one on her headband. June kept hers eyes on Caitlin with a concerned and angry expression in her eyes.
"I'm sorry June. I just felt like I needed to it." June was shocked. Caitlin hardly ever said sorry to anyone. What was wrong with her? June knew something wrong has happened to her cousin when her sudden headache happened.
"Come on, chica, I think I should get you back to the mountain." Jaime said as he started to walk Caitlin out of the house and started to brush off as much feathers as he could. Once they were out of the hearing range, June turned to Bruce and Barry.
"I know something happened to cay when that sudden headache of hers came."
"I'm getting a feeling that something's up with her. We need to keep an extra eye on her." Bruce said as he started to brush the feathers off of him.
They didn't come off. Bruce slowly turned to glare at June, Barry tried to vibrate the mess off of his body.
"Ahh, about that. You see this 'mud'? It's more like... extremely wet glue." She winked at them.
"June!" Bruce shouted.
She laughed, taking the shuriken out of Bart's shirt. They disappeared.
"You know, Bruce, if your children became evil and decided they wanted to take over the world, we'd be screwed." Barry said.
Bruce looked torn between pride and irritation.
