051-Pedal (part 4 to Peer, News, and Defense)
"Ok, would you rather be left blue for the rest of your life or stay the same height as you are now?" Nolan asked as he pushed his legs faster on the exercise bike.
"Stay short, without a doubt," Beast Boy answered with a laugh, "I can live with that. I don't even want to think of what kinds of jokes Cy would come up with if I did turn blue."
It was a nice day. Titans East were visiting his team, and he couldn't come just yet since Nolan was finally opening up to him, so they were spending the day just walking around the tower.
"Ya, I can see it," Nolan said with a smile. They had fallen into a nice routine. They talked, the fighting was cut down by half and he was talking with his team. It was clear his help here was running out, and while most of him was anxious to get back home, a small part was sad to have to leave.
But Nolan wasn't his project anymore. There would come that time, he wasn't sure when, but he would have to leave. Then Nolan would have to put all his trust in his team and that would be that.
"I dyed my hair once, in the eight grade." Nolan said, and then he pushed one of the buttons on the screen and slowed down his speed.
"Really? What color?" Beast Boy asked with mild interest.
"Platinum Blonde," Nolan said, then he shook his head, "worst mistake ever."
They talked for the rest of the day about minor things, like movies and old memories. Then they talked about fighting and he even told Nolan a few things about his earlier crime fighting days.
He got a call from Cyborg that night. From the meeting with Bumblebee, it was noted that his time there was limited. He had done a great job, but they needed him back in Jump, seeing as how the villains had noticed that they were down a Titan. He talked about it was Cy, and then hung up.
Ya, they had made progress. It was only a matter of time before that progress was done and the goal reached.
