Chapter 15- Remembrance
Dick walked down the road, to his house with a slight hop in his step. Not only was the mission a success, it made him feel closer to his parents than he's felt in a long time. His eyes widen seeing his redheaded, freckled faced, green eyed boyfriend.
"Hey babe" Wally smiled, Dick ran to his Wally hugging him tightly.
"Wow happy to see" Wally's sentence was interrupted as Dick kissed him aggressively, He wrapped his arms around Wally's neck deepening the kiss. Wally let out a deep groan, he pulled Dick closer while wrapping his arms around his waist. The two let out soft moans as they fought for dominance of the kiss. Dick grinded his hips into Wally letting his hardening member rub against the speedster's. Wally pulled back from the heated kiss, his hot breath hitting Dick.
"Wow, I um, that was very unexpected" Wally panted hard. Dick smiled, mischief and lust flashed in his blue eyes and pecked his lips.
"Maybe, I'm just happy to see you" Wally chuckled at the comment.
"You know, Bruce is out on patrol and Alfred should be asleep by now, maybe I can give you your christmas gift a little early" Dick insinuated, he rubbed Wally's hard member through his jeans.
"When did you become a minx" Wally moaned. They entered the Wayne estate, Wally passed by the brightly lit christmas tree.
"Wow" Wally stared at the nicely wrapped presents underneath the tree. The portrait hanging above the fireplace caught his eye.
"What is that doing here?" Dick questioned as he entered the foyer. He stared at the painting of his parents, they had such bright smiles on their faces. They appeared to be on top of the world, like nothing could've ever hurt them.
"Dick?" Wally reached out, the young hero walked to the portrait, he picked up the note next to the portrait.
"We never wanted to replace your family, but I hope you've come to consider this your home and us your family too-Bruce" Dick read the note to himself, a his heart sank to the pit of his stomach. A feeling of sorrow for the death of his parents yet, joy to his new family it was overwhelming.
"Wow" Wally wiped away tears falling from his boyfriend's blue eyes.
"I'm sorry, I ruined the mood" Dick chuckled, wiping his tears away. Wally's face suddenly turned serious, he pulled out a small box from his coat pocket and handed it to Dick.
"Merry Christmas" Wally kissed his forehead. The box was wrapped in blue paper with a black ribbon. The younger of the two pulled back the ribbon, he ripped off the paper and opened the box. Inside it was a golden locket with a round pendant.
"Open it" Wally directed, Dick opened the locket, on the right side was John and Mary Grayson with a very young Dick Grayson. They were in front of a huge sign that reads Haly's Circus. On the left of the locket was a picture of Bruce, Alfred and himself formally posed.
"I love it" Dick leaned over pecking his boyfriend on the lips.
*Mount Justice*
Artemis and Zatanna kissed passionately, Artemis had the younger girl pressed against a wall. The mission was fantastic, it was a success, Red Arrow ate his words and now she just felt like celebrating.
"I should get going" Artemis whispered in her ear, Zatanna wrapped her arms around her neck.
"No, No stayyyy" Zatanna whined pulling the archer closer.
"I'd definitely love to but, I wanna check on my mom and be with her on christmas day" Zatanna smiled at the sentiment, after what happened to her father on a few months back, she would never deny anyone time with their parent. She slowly let go of the archer a slight pout on her face, Artemis smirked, she quickly pecked her lips and exited the room. She was walking down the hallway and into the living room where Conner and M'gann were snuggled up on the couch.
"RECOGNIZE RED ARROW B06" the computer announced the red clad archer's appearance in the cave. They three stared at him, he looked awkwardly at the teammates he treated poorly.
"Hey listen, all of you, I'm not good at apologies but i'll try, I shouldn't have acted" He scratched the back of his head searching for the word.
"A total asshole?" Artemis smirked.
"Yea, a lack of knowledge isn't enough to think you'd betray us, if I wanted more information about you alkn I should've asked instead of being a paranoid ass" Roy stated.
"Yea you should've" Conner glared at the archer.
"But, we understand, Aqualad, Robin and Kid Flash were your friends before they were ours. We forgive you Roy" M'gann flipped her hair. Roy smiled at the team.
*Wayne Manor*
Bruce entered the house, through the secret entrance, behind that clock, that led to the batcave. He was in a normal suit, having changed when he returned from patrol. The billionaire, walked down the hallway and stopped at the entrance to the foyer. He saw, the two young boys, snuggled up in the love seat. The fireplace was lit, illuminating the room with an orange glow.
The boys were sleeping soundly, Dick had his head rested on Wally's shoulder, his mouth hung open slightly. Wally's head rested on top of Dick's he had an arm wrapped around the boy wonder. Bruce couldn't help but let a smile form.
He was happy to see his son, happy and content. Bruce walked towards a closet and the hallway and opened it. Inside the dark closet were warm blankets. Suddenly, his phone buzzed, he pulled it out, The caller ID read BARRY ALLEN. The dark knight answered, the call as he pulled out a large blanket for the boys.
"Hello?" he answered in his usually monotone voice
"Hey,Bruce is Wally over there? He said he was going to see Dick but he never came back" Barry asked, a pang of concern invading his usually cheerful tonem
"Yes he's here Barry, they fell asleep" Bruce said with a smile.
"That's a relief, I can run over and pick him up give me about 10 seconds" Barry stated, stretching as he talked.
" Actually, that isn't necessary, He can stay for the night" Bruce informed the scarlet speedster. Barry's green eyes grew wide, he stared at the phone making sure he called the right person. Batman is allowing a meta to stay in his city, something's not right. The Flash instantly understood as he was sent a picture of the young couple, snuggled up next to the fireplace a big blanket covering their bodies.
"Well, just make sure he gets back home tomorrow" Barry smiled hanging up the phone.
