A/N This is the last Valentines-reward-thingys (so far) and this one is for GraysonGirl who wanted a reunion of sorts! ;)

Universe: Terms-universe

Pairing: mainly Red/Speedy

Warnings: OOC-nes of JL-member, probably… Family problems… some smex… nothing bad! Well… hopefully… ;)

Red and Green

"Mum? Dad? We need to tell you something! You here?" Speedy called out as he entered Slade's and Robin's apartment.

"We're here, and why on earth can't you ever use our names?" Slade growled from the doorway to the living-room, a happy Bunny balancing on his shoulder, mewling his welcome to the visitors.

"Hi little bro!" Red grinned and reached up to pat the cat's head.

"What did you want?" Robin asked, coming in from the kitchen with a large bowl of popcorn.

"Well, maybe you better sit down," the archer mumbled and gestured at the couch.

Robin's blue eyes grew worried as he glanced at Slade, and the older man had tensed, setting a loudly objecting Cornish Rex cat down on the floor. Bunny escaped up to the top of his new climbing-tree after that, to pout.

"What happened?" Robin asked.

"Well… you know the vacation to the island that's coming up? We… well… I'm sorry… I know we said we would, but we're not going this time," Speedy told them.

"You're… not going…?" Robin croaked.

Slade didn't say anything as of yet, but suddenly put his head in his hands.

"Err… dad?" Red X called out. "Is… is he crying?" he whispered loudly to his boyfriend.

Robin scooted closer to Slade and put a hand on his arm, making the man take a sudden, deep breath, which sounded suspiciously like a sob.

"Love?" Robin asked quietly.

"I… I've…" Slade started. "I've… just… I've never been so happy in my life!"

Robin took some time right after that to confront the man about that statement, pointing out that their wedding day, the day Slade could move his legs after the shooting, and the day Robin himself survived the immortality-treatment, were occasions that should have made the man happy. Slade's response was that, yes, but the two redheads had been present for all of those things, something Robin really couldn't deny.

Speedy and Red was a bit put off and considered joining Bunny in the tree, but then realized that their dad was of course only joking. He had to be. Right?

"So, what are you two going to do, then?" Robin asked from his perch on Slade's lap. He had no idea how he had ended up there, especially since he had been rather annoyed with the man a minute ago, but Slade was persuasive when he wanted to be. Which was all the time.

"Well, we're…" Speedy glanced at Red for support. The thief had somehow stolen the popcorn bowl from Robin and was munching away, but managed a nod of encouragement none the less. "We're going to Star City."

Both Robin's and Slade's heads shot up, and their eyes hardened.

"Are you sure that's wise?" the older man growled.

"Yeah, you know what happened with me and Batman…" Robin warned them.

"Exactly… we know!" Speedy drew himself up a little. "What happened with you guys was bad, really bad, but, well… now you know, right? I haven't even spoken to him since I decided to follow you here, and… well… it's been years."

"The JL has stayed out of our business only because we know most of their secrets and have threatened to reveal them…" Slade said. "Handing yourself over like that, though…"

"He's doing nothing of the sort!" Red snorted. "My baby ain't gonna be anyone's jailbait but mine…"

"Oh, you're so sweet…" Speedy grinned and leaned over to kiss the other red-head. After a full five minutes Robin had to cough to break them apart.

"So…" Bright blue eyes pierced darker blue.

"What? We're just gonna swing by, I'm gonna show my boyfriend a good time, and then Red X is gonna meet Green Arrow!" Speedy shrugged. "No problem!"

"You can never use the words 'Red X' and 'no problem' in the same sentence. There's a risk that the universe could collapse on itself," Robin muttered.

"You know what?" Slade said, sounding somewhat optimistic, "If we call him now and warn him, the JL will owe us. Big."

"I don't know… maybe we'll just let it happen this time and warn them the next time instead… that way they will know to be grateful," Robin hummed.

"I love the way you think. Well, the kids ate our popcorn and I'm not in the mood for movie night anymore… How about we move on to the late night entertainment?"

"I love the way you think…" Robin grinned and Slade stood up, carrying the young man easily out of the room.

"For parents they can be sooo rude…" Speedy muttered,

"Sure can…" Red mumbled, his mouth full of pop-corn.

"Oh," the archer suddenly realized something. "Did we remember to ask if we could borrow a car?"

A day later the two redheads were cruising down a highway on their way to Star City in northern California.

"Shouldn't you answer that?" Red asked, indicating the angrily beeping phone in Speedy's jeans pocket.

"Nah, it's just Slade yelling about the car again…" the archer shrugged.

"Yeah, who knew he actually cared, I mean it's just a car?" the thief said.

"Seems it's a limited edition something or other, and Robin got it for him as some sort of present… I didn't really listen…"

"Oh... okay… then maybe you should shift gears…"

"I thought it wasn't supposed to sound like that…" Speedy exclaimed and for a moment he aggravated the engine even more, before finding the right slot. "God, I hate stick-shifts…"

"Which is weird, since you're gay."

"Oh, shut up."

"Oh, come on… make the stick happy…" Red leered.

"I can't believe we're finally here!" Red exclaimed and stared at the skyscrapers looming ahead of them.

"It's funny, but it feels so small…" Speedy let him know.

"Yeah, duh! It's like a tenth of Echo or something!" his green-eyed partner snorted.

"Yes, but… you know… smaller than I remember," Speedy tried to explain.

"Yeah, yeah… so how do we do this? Do we drive up to his house, or…?"

"Errr… no. I've booked a hotel room. We'll go out tonight… We'll find him," Speedy said. He hadn't told Red about the man's real identity yet, not because it really mattered, since Robin and Slade knew everything there was to know about the JL already, but it just hadn't come up. Red knew Speedy's real name, and could have looked him up, the archer guessed, but, as far as he knew, the thief hadn't. Their pasts just didn't matter. Besides, he thought it might be a good thing if Red got a chance to meet his mentor without any preconceptions.

"Expecting any trouble?" for once the thief actually looked worried.

"No, not like that, but he's… well, he can be difficult to figure out, really."

"Glad I never was a side-kick. You and Robin are seriously screwed up."

"Yeah, I know… lucky for you!" the archer smirked.

"Lucky?" Red asked.

"Yeah, do you really think Robin and I would have settled for dregs like you and Slade if we were mentally stable?"

"Oh, yeah, right… good thing you're nuts then…"

"That's right, honey! Now let's find that damn hotel and inspect the bed-springs…"

The bed-springs worked just fine, the young men discovered about an hour later when they threw themselves on the large double.

"Mmm… hotel sex… love it!" Red grinned and straddled Speedy.

"What kind of sex don't you love?" the archer snorted.

"Dunno, we haven't tried it yet," the thief admitted with a shrug. "I'll tell you when we do."

"I'm sure you will… so… top or bottom?" Speedy asked. They switched all the time, and he didn't care… 'twas all good' as they say.

"Well… it's your city… you top!" Red grinned and rubbed his ass against his boyfriend's crotch.

"Oh… no 'guests first?'" the archer grinned.

"That's what I'm going for…" the thief smirked.

"Well, then, what's what you're getting!" Speedy laughed and rolled them over. "Pinned 'ya!"

"You need to use your pin for it to count!" Red complained and reached for the other's fly. "Ah… there it is… I love your pin…" the thief snickered.

"And it loves you. Lube?"

"Yes, please."

"I meant where?"

"You don't remember where it goes?" Red asked with wide, innocent green eyes.

Speedy sighed and rested his forehead against his lover's shoulder.

"Where. Is. The. Lube?" he asked.

"Oh, you could have just asked from the start!" the other chuckled. "I got a tube in my pocket… just hang on…"

Speedy felt the other squirm under him, and sat up a little to watch with a smirk on his face.

"Those jeans are sooooo too skinny for you…"

"Are you saying I'm getting fat?"

"No, I'm saying you need to learn to do laundry… or buy the right sized pants."

"Buy?"

"Oh, yeah, you were probably in a hurry, weren't you? And it was dark in the store?"

"Could be, could be…" the young man admitted without looking the least bit embarrassed.

Speedy chuckled as he helped his boyfriend to retrieve the lube and shimmy out of the jeans. He kicked his own off as well, and pulled off his t-shirt.

"Get naked , you..." he told Red. "I want to see those pretty pink nipples of yours… and your freckles…"

"They are not freckles!" the other young man objected. "They are… just… dots."

"Yeah… and I love the 'dots' over your nose…" the archer grinned. The truth was that the thief did have freckles, but only a few in a light sprinkling across his nose and on his chest, and those mostly showed when he had a tan. Red was sensitive about them though, but unluckily for him, he had a very un-sensitive boyfriend. "I'm gonna lick all of them up…" Speedy grinned and started. "I love sprinkles…"

Red didn't quite mind that treatment.

They were soon making out like their lives depended on it, and shortly after Red X gasped as Speedy slid inside him. The archer moved slowly, smiling down at his lover when something occurred to him.

"Oh, and Red, by the way… as long as we are here, don't steal anything, alright?" Immediately afterwards the hero yelped and kept absolutely still with a painful expression on his face. "Red… for the love of… you're killing me!"

"What do you mean not steal? Anything?" the professional kleptomaniac exclaimed.

"You're squeezing my dick off! Relax!" Speedy had never expected that this could happen, or that it was so painful, but, well… Red had a grip on him, alright.

"How can I relax? What are you saying? Like not even hotel-stuff?"

"Steal whatever you want! Steal two of it! Just, please, honey, relax your ass, or I'm gonna be half a man soon!"

"Anything?"

"Anything! Including this fucking bed and Green Arrow's hat! I don't care!"

"Really?"

"REALLY!"

"Thank you… makes me feel better… I got scared there for a moment…"

Speedy did some deep breathing exercises, but his boyfriend actually did relax enough for him to pull out. He looked down on his very red and swollen cock worriedly. It didn't seem worried, though, and was harder than ever. Speedy shrugged and shoved it back in. If it worked, it was fine, he figured.

Later that night they had both changed into their uniforms and left the hotel via the roof.

"Why didn't you wear your Arsenal one?" Red asked.

"I kinda wanted him to see it was me…" Speedy said. "Besides, you wouldn't stop calling me Arse-enal…"

"It's sexier, though… not that you're not hot..." the thief chuckled. "Tag, you're it!" he added, slapped Speedy on the ass and sped off.

The hunt began.

An hour later something suddenly knocked into Red X and he found himself stuck to a wall by some kind of net.

"Hey, what? Speedy, net-arrows aren't fair!"

Speedy, however, was innocent, at least of that, and grinned as a green-clad shadow landed next to them.

"Speedy," the shadow nodded curtly.

"Green Arrow," the redheaded archer nodded back, keeping things formal.

"I've watched you. Not only am I surprised to see you here, but you also seemed to have problems catching this ratty thing. Want me to take him to the police?"

"Nah…" Speedy shrugged and pulled out a small blade to help his struggling lover free. "It would complicate things. He's my boyfriend."

"Who the hell do you call 'ratty'?" the thief snorted. "The cape was designed this way, you know!"

"Boyfriend?" Green Arrow exclaimed unbelievingly.

"Sure as hell ain't no girl…" Red X muttered as he shrugged off the last remains of the net.

"Come on, Red, don't be grumpy. Green Arrow, Red X, Red X, Green Arrow," Speedy introduced them, crossing his fingers behind his back, hoping that things would work out.

"He's the thief from Jump!" the blond man growled and straightened up. "Batman told me you all left together, but I never thought-"

"What? That we'd still be together? I know, it's amazing isn't it?" Speedy grinned.

"But he's… he's…"

"A thief? Yeah… but he's not that bad-"

"That's right, I'm a great thief!" Red smirked behind his mask.

"He's… a boy," the man finally muttered. "I mean, you… used to joke about… but… you're not really… are you?"

"Gay? No, we're just sleeping together by accident," Speedy said dryly. Of all the things the man could have an issue with, he had picked the gay-thing?

"Yes, it's all completely innocent," Red agreed. "Like I remember a time in a box…"

"Red, not now!" Speedy hissed. "Err… yeah, so… We're just stopping by, really. I wanted to say hi, you know?"

"You helped Slade kidnap Robin! You live with those criminals! You participate in… in… homosexual activities! Have you completely forgotten everything I taught you?"

"What, that pussy's great?" Speedy snorted. "Want me to send a list to Black Canary?"

"You're hitting that? Good for you!" Red slapped the green-clad man on the shoulder, rather oblivious to the tension.

"And Slade didn't kidnap Robin! Well… not that time… get your facts straight!"

"Yeah, mum and dad love each other… and they are married too!" Red helped explain.

"Mum? Dad? Married?" Green Arrow stuttered.

Speedy sighed.

"Red, maybe you shouldn't have told him. I don't think even Batman knows… not that it's any of his damn business…"

"Oh," the other young man said. "Well… err… they have a cat named Bunny!"

"Bunny?" the blond man was now staring rather wild-eyed through his mask.

"Why do you keep telling him things?" the red-headed archer asked.

"Well, I thought he might forget about the wedding if I did!" Red defended himself.

"Ah. Right… Okay then; me, Robin and Red have taken pole-dancing-lessons…" Speedy supplied.

"We'd also loooove trying to seduce mum and dad, but that just not gonna happen… they are so damn exclusive…" Red added.

"Robin loves sitting in Slade's lap, but he pretends he doesn't…"

"They keep teasing us about getting sex-toys and then they borrow the catalogues."

"Slade goes all gooey-eyed when he looks at Robin for longer than three seconds."

"And the other way around!"

"Yeah, and they are both jealous as hell."

"We think they are into some really kinky bondage-stuff."

"Once Robin-"

"That's enough! Please stop!" Green Arrow bellowed.

"What? We're just catching you up?" Red snorted.

"I don't want to hear it! You've turned your back on the hero community Speedy! How do you think it makes me look?"

"You look?" Speedy exclaimed.

"Hey, Speedy's still a hero! He's working his ass off! And Robin helps sometimes too!" Red defended his lover.

"Robin is a murderer! Don't try to make me think you aren't too!"

Speedy straightened.

"I see. Well, you are wrong. I know this was a shock to you, so I'm going to be the adult here," the young man said and handed his former mentor a card. "This is my cell-phone number. If you wake up one day and realize that it might not matter that I'm gay, you can call. Red, let's go."

Red X glanced at his boyfriend. Where was the happy-go-lucky guy he knew? This Speedy was tense, bitter, hurt.

"Not yet. There's something I need to know first," the thief decided.

"What?" his boyfriend asked just as the other red-head moved and there was a pained cry from Green Arrow.

"What the hell!" the older hero exclaimed, clutching his chin.

"What? I just wanted to check if the beard was fake! Come on, it looks totally phony! No-one really has a beard like that!" the delinquent defended himself.

Green Arrow reached for his quiver.

"Run?" Red suggested.

"Yeah. Run," Speedy nodded and then grinned.

They decided to split up to make it harder for the JL-member to aim, and reunited at the roof of their hotel a little over an hour later.

"Well, that went to hell…" Speedy muttered.

Red slid up to him and gave him a kiss.

"He'll calm down… well… he might…"

"He's an asshole."

"Yes, but I won't blame you if you wanna keep in contact… actually, I bet he'll call you soon," the thief shrugged.

"As if…" Speedy snorted, just as his phone rang.

"That should be him. See you!" Red X snickered and took off.

"Wait? Where are you…? Oh, hell. Hello?" Speedy answered.

"Speedy? It's me," Green Arrow's voice said.

"Oh, yeah. Hi?"

"WHERE THE HELL IS MY HAT?"

The End

A/N: Star City might be in northern California, according to Wikipedia. Can't for the life of me remember if I decided where Echo is… -lol- I'm a bad writer… I think I picture it on the East Coast, but it might not be a coast-city at all… does it have a port? Yes, I'm asking you, I can't remember that either… really, you should just vote for me to resign or something… ;)

Anyhow: Green Arrow… yeah, never written him before (more than mentioned him) and I'm sure he can be a really fun guy to be around, but I figured that there must be a reason Speedy is so damn tense towards him in Young Justice, and yeah, I know there's some history there, so, well… I went with this version of him in thins universe… Also the hat.. I've seen him with both a hat and a hood, and I seriously think that that beard and moustache is the silliest thing ever… I mean, how do people NOT recognize him? ;)

So there it is! Two updates in two days! Yaaay!

ABOUT UPDATING-PROBLEMS ON FF:

I've had problems with updating, getting an error-message as I try to access my stories on the update-page… Diagonfloo updated and she told me she had found out how to do it and it WORKS:

She wrote:
"All you needed to do is to change the word "properties" in the URL of the story editor to "content." So click on your fic like you normally would to add a chapter and while on the error page just change that word and POOF! It works!"

If the problem still exists: spread the word! :) Right now it seems to be back to normal, though!
