The team trudged through the entrance of the mountain. Worn out after a long mission, but luckily none with serious injuries.
John came up patting Mark on the back "You did great out there today, especially for your first mission back after your injuries"
Mark shot him a smile "Thanks"
Batgirl tightened her grip around Leo's neck as he gave her a piggyback ride into the living room
Melanie smirked as she walked next to them "Why are you riding on his back?" She asked
"Because my legs are killing me" Leah groaned throwing her head back
Melanie let out a laugh "Better not let your brother catch you. Leo might go missing"
Leah rolled her eyes "You heard about that"
Melanie nodded "All about it"
Leo shifted his eyes between them "What are you talking about, and why would Robin make me go missing?"
Both girls let out a laugh at their sort of inside joke''
Melanie flopped down on the couch resting her feet in Robin's lap
"Rub my feet" she pleaded
Nathan shook his head "I'm not rubbing your nasty feet, get Bullseye to do it" he pointed
Bullseye quickly shook his head from across the room "Why would I want to rub her feet?"
Robin shrugged "I don't know your twins so aren't your feet basically the same?" He joked
Mark shook his head "That is probably the stupidest things thing I've ever heard you say"
"Hey, I'm the one who has been running around 4 headed monster things for the fast 5 hours while you guys took down the crazy scientist who created them" she picked her feet up and placed one on each of Nathan's cheeks "Now rub my feet Wonderboy"
Nathan squirmed "Get your stinky feet off me"
She shook her head "Actually for the record they don't stink, they smell like barbeque sauce"
Nathan looked at her oddly but out of interest grabbed her foot and sniffed it "It does smell like barbeque sauce, why does it smell like barbeque sauce?" He asked confused
She grinned "I used these foot detox pads last night and oddly they made my feet smell like barbeque sauce" she explained as Nathan brought her foot back to his nose and sniffed it again
"Are those two a thing?" Beena asked leaning over toward Batgirl
She shrugged "No not for a while"
Zarro overheating the conversation whipped his head around "Wait what do you mean? Did Bullet and Robin date?" He asked
Leah quickly shook her head "Robin and Bullet didn't date"
"But you said" he pointed a finger confused
"She didn't say anything about their civi identities Magic boy" Beena laughed she stood up "If you guys need me I'll be in the kitchen"
Zarro replaced the vacant seat next to Batgirl "Again with the secret identities thing? You know it drives me crazy" he told her
Batgirl shrugged in response
"I'm going to figure out your identity one day" he added
She looked at him "Is that so, and how do you plan on that?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest
He nodded "One of these days I'm going to learn a truth-telling spell," he said holding his head high "Then I will learn all the secrets in that read head of yours," he said tapping her head. Leah quickly pushed his hand away
Leo walked into the living room hearing the last bit of the conversation and glanced around at everyone oddly "Secret identities? Foot Smelling? You Batkid's are weird"
Quickly Batgirl and Robin stood up, Robin dropping Melanie's foot he had been holding in the process "We are not weird!" the siblings said in unison.
"I'm going to see if Beena made any snacks, come on boys" Batgirl waved walking away as Leo and Zarro followed close behind her.
"Aright shows over Wonder Boy, now get back down here and start rubbing my feet," Melanie said wrapping her feet around his waist and pulling him back to the couch
Nathan complied and sat down pulling Melanie's feet into his lap and began to massage her knotted feet
Mark watched the scene and let out a sarcastic chuckle
"What?" Nathan rose an eyebrow looking at his best friend as he continued to rub Melanie's feet
Mark shook his head "I just find it funny how little miss sassy pants can order those two boys around like they are her lackeys" he pointed in the direction of the kitchen referring to Leah with Leo and Zarro
Nathan nodded "Well she gets that from my mom, you know how bossy she is"
"And I suppose you get your eager to please attitude from your dad?" Mark asked nodding toward Robins hands on his sister's feet
Nathan shook his head "I do not have an eager to please attitude, I'm getting paid for this" he looked toward Melanie "I am getting paid for this right?" He smirked
Melanie grinned "We'll see, depends on how good you do," she said getting more comfortable
"Besides, if we are talking about personalities based on the stories I've heard you are a terrible flirt just like your father was" Nathan pointed out
"At least I've kept the same girlfriend for more than 6 months" Mark pointed back
Nathan looked at him for a moment "Slow burn" he admitted defeat
Mark nodded and stood up "A burn that deserves one of Beena's homemade snacks, want me to bring you guys back anything?" He asked
Nathan and Melanie shook their heads
"Hey, Melanie!" A voice shouted as she made her way down the hall to the cafeteria
She turned to look at the holder of the voice. Marco a boy from her history class began walking toward her.
"Melanie, I'm glad I caught you. Do you happen to have the notes from Monday?" He asked
She nodded "Oh that's right you were out sick" she swung her backpack around and began digging for the notes "They're here somewhere..." she trailed
She felt an arm slung over her shoulder "Mels, I was wondering where you were" Nathan said cheerfully
"Marco was out sick Monday, so I was giving him some notes" Melanie explained
Nathan nodded "Marco" he greeted his voice sounding more serious
Marco gave him a small wave
Melanie pulled the notebook out "Here are the notes" she said holding them toward Marco
"Thanks," Marco said grabbing the book from her "I'll bring them back to you at the end of lunch. Where will you be?" He asked
"With me." Nathan quickly jumped in pulling her closer to his side
Melanie glanced at the boy with his arm around her then back at Marco "We sit outside at the picnic table under the big oak tree" she explained
Marco gave her a nod before walking off
As soon as he was out of sight Nathan removed his arm from Melanie's shoulders and began walking toward the cafeteria
Melanie quickly caught up to him "You know I hate it when you do that"
Nathan glanced at her "Do what?" He asked confused
Melanie rolled her eyes "Get all possessive"
Nathan let out a chuckle "I am not possessive"
"Oh really?" She said she crossed her arms and stopped walking
Nathan stopped and looked at her "Yes really give me one example"
Melanie smiled "Well there was Greg you hated him from the begging then you and Mark beat him up
Nate nodded "Well he deserved that"
She shot him a smile "Then there was Leah last week with her new friend, and just now with Marco"
He let out a chuckle and stepped forward "I was not being possessive a few minutes ago. On another note, you still owe me from that foot massage yesterday"
"I don't know, it wasn't that great of a message" she teased
Nathan grinned "Oh really, based on the fact that you fell asleep I'd say it was a good message." He began walking closer to her as she began backing up "I'll take my payment in the form of kisses if it's easier for you" He wiggled his eyebrows
Melanie let out a nervous laugh "Not gonna happen Wonder Boy"
Nathan shrugged "I'm willing to make an ultimatum, a date tomorrow night. Just me and you"
Melanie shook her head "No"
"If it makes you feel better you can look at it as two friends just hanging out" he suggested
Melanie bit her lip "Fine, 8 o clock Friday night. You pick me up, don't be late. And I am looking at this as just friends" she informed
Nathan shot her a smirk "I wouldn't have it any other way, Fast Lane"
