A/N: Answering questions that nobody asked... LOL.

No one:...

Me: Oh, this version of Connor is Connor Lance- Queen from Injustice 2. Because a mini Oliver Queen with a canary cry is just too fun to pass up ;) So yes, he is the BIO child of DinahXOllie.

Also, if any of you speak spanish, har, I uploaded a CP story co-written w/Konohaflameninja, starring RoyXOllie's fun relationship. "Demasiada Libertad". :)

Road Tripping

Chapter 2

"Where is Jason?" Oliver immediately wanted to know, as he and Connor joined the boys. Neither teenager looked him in the eyes, which alerted him that something was wrong.

"Roy?" He asked, already annoyed.

"I don't know, Ollie. He said he's wait in the car..."

"We were going to go after him, but we didn't know..." Dick started to explain, as Oliver called Dinah's cell phone, as she was closer to the parking lot, and asked her if she could see Jason. Fortunately, he had actually managed to get to the car without getting hurt, or lost...though he had lost a shoe on the hike up.

Oliver hung up and started packing up, asking the boys for help.

"But it's still early, why do we have to leave already?" Roy wanted to know, sure, they had wanted to sneak off, but now, seeing Oliver slightly annoyed at him, passing him things to carry, Roy couldn't help but want reassurance that he wasn't in trouble.

"Because Jason isn't having fun...and I don't think either of you are helping" He told the teenagers, who had the decency to look shame-faced.

"He's just so hard to be around sometimes, Ollie...he never wants to try new things or meet new people..." Dick spoke up, because even though he loved Jason, really, he did, he sure seemed to ruin a lot of things...

"Or maybe he does, and doesn't know how to" Oliver lectured, giving an orange backpack to Dick, and then turning to Roy. "You boys know how he can be. Dick, he's your brother. Roy, he's your best friend, so maybe stop bagging on him so much and help him gain some social skills."

The two older boys nodded, though neither seemed super convinced, so the blond just sighed, grabbed Connor's hand and started the hike back to the car.

The dinner table was pretty sullen, especially since all the boys were still being crabby. They were supposed to meet Sophie and Tiffany and their friends in an hour, and thanks to Jason, they were back at the condo, instead of 5 minutes away. Dick had already updated the girls, who had said they and their group of friends could pick them up.

"So, yeah, can we go to the movies with them?" Roy asked his parents. The 'official' story was that they'd met some nice girls at the pool and wanted to go to the movie theater with them.

"I don't know, Roy..." Dinah started as she frowned at Connor, who was happily playing with his food...mashing everything with his fork.

"It's just a movie!" Roy responded with a slight frown, but quickly changed his tune when he saw the look that Dinah was giving him. She was all about 'manners'. "We don't want to stay here all night..."

"You boys haven't even unpacked"

"Well, if we unpack can we go?" Roy asked, because that seemed simple enough. He kicked Dick under the table for help, because of course Dinah thought Dick was the most sensible teenager ever.

"We'll even wash the dishes..." Dick added, ignoring Jason's scoff. He hated cleaning and he wasn't about to do it so he could go and do something he definitely didn't want to do.

"...I guess that's okay...Ollie?" She turned her eyes to her husband, who was busy texting, and had ignored most of the conversation.

"Hm?" He looked up, quirking a brow in confusion. The woman frowned and filled him in-seriously, Oliver was such a space cadet sometimes.

"You all want to go? Jays?"

"No" The youngest teen answered, clearly, with a scowl on his face. He wasn't going to pretend he wanted to go! Of course, his answer earned him a kick underneath the table from Dick and a shove from Roy, who was right next to him.

"What?!" Jason yelled, annoyed at being picked on. He didn't know why he was having such a hard time, he normally liked the Queens, but ...he missed Bruce. He missed Alfred...

"Why are you being so grumpy? Dick was right..." He left his comment hanging, as Jason glared at him.

"Roy, that's enough. Eat" Oliver commanded, a bit sick of all the kids, truth be told.

"I didn't do anything!"

"Stop with the attitude, or you guys are definitely not going out..."

That calmed the teenager, and he let the subject drop, though it came back up a few minutes later when Jason once again made it clear that he wasn't going to go out.

"Then you should all stay home, and just watch a movie here" Dinah suggested, though it wasn't well received.

"I wanna go, and Dick wants to go, that's two against one." Roy told them, before adding, "If Jason doesn't want to have fun, he can just stay here and play blocks with Connor, or whatever"

At that, Jason gritted his teeth and punched Roy's arm as hard as he could-which was hard enough for his friend to yell out, and punch him back. Dinah and Oliver were already on their feet, ready to scold the boys, though they hadn't expected their little boy to be just as upset.

"Don't hit my brother!" Connor yelled at Jason, with a shrill voice that made the adults, and teenagers freeze. Ever since they'd found out that the child had inherited metahuman genes, they all did their best to keep him calm and happy. Maybe it wasn't the best way to help the boy harness his powers, but it was working so far. Nobody had been hit by an accidental canary cry.

"Connor!"

"Connor!"

His parents both yelled at the same time, and he shrunk in his seat.

"...What?"

"No yelling, Connor" His mother told him, eye-ing everyone, letting them know to calm down and stop upsetting her child. Oliver, on the other hand, turned to his older son.

"Go to your room" He told the teenager.

"He hit me first!" Roy defended, giving Jason the stink eye.

"Go to your room, right now!" Oliver yelled at him, clearly in no mood to change his mind. Roy frowned, but did as he was told, knowing full well that while everyone thought Ollie was super easy going, and irresponsible, he could also have a hard hand.

"Jason started it, it's not fair" He started, as soon as Oliver came in to the bedroom that Roy was sharing with his friends. The teenager was standing by the window and curiously watching as Oliver walked around the room, and then finally sat down on one of the beds.

"Roy, you invited your friends, and you know how they are, they argue with each other, which is normal, but when you get in the middle and purposely make someone feel bad, you're being a really bad friend, and if this is what you had in mind, you shouldn't have invited them. They're your guests"

"I'm not doing anything on purpose!" ...that was kind of a lie, of course he had known that Jason would be upset by Roy and Dick forming a 'team', however, he hadn't expected to be punched, he had expected that Jason would feel obliged to join them, because no one like being left out...

"Yes you are, Roy. And I'm sick of it. I don't want you excluding anyone, and hitting Jason? That is not okay, at all."

"-He"

"Yes, I know, he hit you first, I don't care. Let me and Dinah deal with it. If someone does something to you, just tell us...-

"I'm not going to tell on him!" Snitches get stitches, he thought, but didn't say it, as he knew Oliver would laugh at him, roll his eyes and then beat it out of his vocabulary.

"Well, you're also not going to be punching anyone, unless you want to spend the rest of the week grounded- Oliver made a face at that, he wasn't actually going to do that, because that would mean that he would also have to stay inside the Condo. It would absolutely ruin everyone's vacation.

"Okay, whatever, I'm sorry, can I go now?"

"After that horrible apology? No. I'm going to give you a reminder of what's going to happen if you don't stop with the attitude and the fighting" He tapped on his lap to indicate that he wanted the boy to lay over his lap.

"Ollie! That's not fair!" It really wasn't, it's not like anyone else was getting in trouble for fighting...

"Roy. Now"

"Dad!"

Oh, there it was, Oliver rolled his eyes, of course Roy would throw out the 'Dad's now.

"Now! Don't make me lose my patience..." He touched his belt lightly, but Roy got it. He grumbled but laid face down on his dad's lap anyway. Stupid Jason. Stupid Dick.

"I better not have this conversation with you again, Roy Harper" Oliver lectured, as he started spanking his oldest son. He gave him quick, rapid spanks on his clothed behind, and while he wasn't being super harsh, Roy was still complaining in a matter of seconds.

"Ow! Dad!" He tried to twist away, because stupid Oliver always hit hard...

Oliver just kept going, spanking him over and over again.

"Owwwww! Stop! I'm sorry! I won't fight anymore!" Roy started to cry, as Oliver just seemed to get in to more of a rhythm, hitting him 5 or 6 more times, Roy couldn't keep his counting straight.

"I-said-Im-m SORRY!" He cried, finding it hard to talk. Oliver paused but didn't pull him up.

"I don't want any more problems, Roy. You know what we expect from you"

The teenager's only response was to cry more. Oliver did help him up and let him sit next to him eventually, while he put an arm around the boy and massaged his arm a bit.

"It's not fair!" Roy cried, because really, it was so not cool that he was the only one getting in trouble.

"Maybe it's not, Roy, but those boys are your guests and your best friends, and you have a responsibility to make them feel welcomed and help them have a good time"

The teenager didn't say anything else, and resigned himself to just stay in the room and sulk, until it was time to go to "the movies".

As Dick animatedly told the girl the reasons they had needed a ride (sparing details, and mostly letting them know they had been fighting...) They had been picked up by Sophie's older sister, who had her own friends, and as soon as they parked, the older set of teenagers had gone off on their own, leaving Roy, Dick, and Jason in the not so capable hands of the two girls they'd met at the pool.

Sophie giggled loudly and grabbed his arm.

"Seriously? Guys are so dumb..." She laughed, and got touchier...it was weird, but Dick wasn't going to complain. She was incredibly cute, and while he had started to notice how girls naturally gravitated towards him, he was still awkward and didn't know...anything.

Tiffany just rolled her eyes at her friend and explained the reason why she was so incredibly...'relaxed'. "She always takes something to help with her nerves...I think you overdid it, Soph-"

At that, the smaller girl just smiled. "I just know what works for me. Instead of fighting, guys..." She pulled out a little baggy of pills out for them. "Why don't you just take one of these, and relax?"

"What is that?" Dick frowned, he didn't do drugs. Keeping a straight head mattered to him, and he was too self confident to cave in to peer pressure...(most of the time)

"Does it matter? It'll help turn those frowns, upside down...up? right side up?" She laughed, confusing herself. Jason rolled his eyes, but took the baggy from her. He eye-d it suspiciously, recognizing it as a sedative. He hated this girl even more, now. He'd grown up with a drug-addicted mom, who he'd had to take care of until she had died from an overdose, so duh, he didn't approve.

Roy only frowned. He wasn't just going to trust some random girl with a random baggy of pills...

"It's completely harmless, why are you guys being so serious?" Sophie rolled her eyes. "I thought you guys were cool..."

At her sudden and total disdain, Dick suddenly felt uncool. So much for not caving in to peer pressure...

To Be Continued...

I never like mentioning actual drug names in my stories, lol, cause drugs aren't cool kids.

Haaaar ... Review Please :)
