Chapter 17 false security
Robin plopped down on the couch, he ran his hand through his black hair. Wally placed his head on top of Robin's lap as he laid on the couch, feet hanging off the armrest.
"What a day" he let out a light chuckle, Wally laughed crossing his arms.
"That is an understatement, We get a new teammate find out M'gann is a white martian, find out Superboy is half Luthor and that Artemis's family is a bunch of criminals did I miss anything?" Wally listed off the days events and revelations.
"Well I already knew Artemis's secret" Robin laughed, Wally sat up punching his boyfriend in the arm.
"OH!, what the heck was that for?" Robin rubbed his arm a glare on his face.
"For not telling me, I can keep a secret" Wally pouted, Dick smiled, quickly pecking his cheek. The rest of the team gathered in the living room area.
"Ya know, all of your secrets, who cares anyway, M'gann you can be a 10 foot tall, purple, singing, elephant with a horn growing out your butt no one here cares" M'gann smiled at the ginger.
"Supey who cares if you're half human it makes you even more like us, and so what if you don't get all of Superman's powers we like you better anyway" Conner smirks at the compliment Wally just granted him.
"Arty, seriously? Come on, your family may be batshit crazy but that doesn't mean we love you any less" Wally chuckled as she scoffed.
"Tomorrow is new year's eve, this year has held alot of trials for all of us" Kaldur stated, his mind wandered to the time he went to visit atlantis. The love of his life, Tula the redheaded woman, of his dreams, was now in a relationship with his best friend Garth. Wally remembered his parents kicking him out on thanksgiving day. Zatanna remembered losing her father to Dr Fate.
"Well at the risk of sounding cheesy, this year hasn't been so bad, If it wasn't for you three I wouldn't even be here" Conner looked at Robin, Wally and Kaldur.
" Yean I met Garfield and Marie Logan and I got to become a superhero how cool is that" M'gann estatically said.
" Yea, I broke the cycle of crime in my family" Artemis smiled at her own personal accomplishment. Zatanna leaned over kissing her girlfriend's cheek. The archer smiled at the raven haired beauty.
" It was a great accomplishment, forming this team and becoming heros in our own right" Kaldur reminisced on the mission where he was elected leader.
"You guys took me in, after my father gave himself up to Fate, I couldn't ask for better friends" Zatanna wiped a tear that threatened to fall. Artemis gently pulled her closer by wrapping an arm around her.
"I got, a smoking hot boyfriend so I guess this year was great" Wally motioned to kiss Robin, the acrobat groaned shoving the speedster away.
" Well, I'm still the new girl but if today's missions are anything to go on, and your friendships and bonds with one another, I think I'm going to like it here" Raquel announced to the team. They all gave her a genuine smile, approving her addition in their ranks.
"To Rocket, the newest addition to our group" Kaldur patted her back.
"Here, Here" The young heros chanted.

Dick smiled at the picture of his team, they were in full uniforms and were happy to be around one another. He placed it next to a picture of Roy, Wally, Kaldur and himself when they were younger. Those days, Roy still went by Speedy instead of Red Arrow. His phone buzzing took him out of his daze. He pulled out the device seeing its a message from Wally.
"Sleep tight, hey good work today…...I…..I love you" Dick heart stopped as he read the last three words. His breath began to hitch, happiness filling him.
"I love you too" Dick quickly typed back to his boyfriend.
