Chapter 10
Bart sat down between Wondergirl and Speedy. Both girls were watching uh... he wasn't really sure what they were watching. There was some princess named Buttercup and a... dread pirate something or another.
Robin, Raven, Beastboy, Cyborg, and Superboy were playing some sort of card game, Bart hadn't looked close enough to see what it was.
"Who was that girl?"
Bart turned and looked at Wondergirl. "Huh?"
"That girl you were with in Keystone City," said Wondergirl, who now had the attention of everybody in the room. "The brunette with the really long hair in the dark red dress."
"What brunette?" asked Superboy.
"Uh... well, you see..." stuttered Bart, unsure of what to say.
"Whoa, since when do you have a girlfriend? " demanded Beastboy.
"Dawn's not my girlfriend " Bart said. "Well... at least I don't think she is. I mean we only went out on one date." Bart scratched the back of head. "Although made out a couple times before then. And I'm seeing her again on Monday..." He shrugged. "I was kinda thinking of asking her to the Winter Formal."
Robin gave him a look. "Dawn? I thought you thought she was a criminal."
"I thought she might be a criminal," clarified Bart. "But she's not. And it's not like I meant to ask Dawn out. One minute we were playing checkers and the next I knew we were making out. Imeanshe'sreallyprettyandreallyniceandIlikeheralotandshedoesn'tcarethatI'masuperheroandshecanprotect herselfifsheneedsto."
"She knows your secret identity? " exclaimed Robin.
"Dawn figured it out on her own," said Bart, looking somewhat dejected. "And I am so dead when well, my cousin and my legal guardian find out. But Dawn's not going to say anything to anybody."
"You didn't deny it?" Robin sounded even more outraged.
"What was I supposed to say to her? " demanded Bart, standing up. "I couldn't deny it without feeling guilty. I've known she had powers since the first day I met her. I couldn't lie to her. I just... I couldn't."
"She's a meta?"
"Magic user, actually," explained Bart. "I can't say anymore than that. I mean, she's not telling people about my powers, I shouldn't tell you guys about her's."
"Wait. Is her name Dawn Summers?" asked Raven.
"Uh, yeah. How did you know?" asked Bart.
"She's the local Champion for Keystone City and Central City," explained Raven. "No wonder she doesn't care about you being a cape, she's the magical equivalent."
"Makes sense," shrugged Bart, knowing exactly what a Champion was.
Well that explained why Dr. Fate had told him to not get in the way. That added a whole new dimension to the information Robin had found on Dawn. Her assault charge made so much more sense. She lived in a battle zone, she had reacted in a way that was indicative of a number of ways that many fighters such as those in the military might have.
Dawn sighed. Admittedly, it was a month away, but she and Bart were dating. If they were still dating by then, what on Earth would she get him for Christmas?
Dawn winced in pain. She was familiar enough with the sensation by now to know that a vision would begin within the next couple of moments.
"He thinks Dawn is still alive."
Amanda looked up at Andrew. Next to her were Kit and Carlos.
"Well if Dawn is alive, we need to find her," said Kit. "She'd do the same for us."
"Who is Connor anyway?" asked Amanda.
Kit shrugged. "If I remember correctly Dawn's slightly psychotic older brother."
"What about the rest of her family?" asked Andrew. "Aren't her cousins mutants or something? Maybe they know somebody who could help us find Dawn."
"No," said Carlos. "They'll think we're insane. And even if they don't, Dawn has a lot of really powerful enemies. We can't let her enemies find out that she's still alive."
"Mmm, I agree with Carlos," said Amanda. "Maybe we should help Connor. He is her older brother after all."
