CHAPTER 38

THE BASE

Garfield hugged his sister tightly she didn't say much of anything since she has her showdown with Aqualad and Tigress.

"You just took down Aqualad and you don't seem happy why?" Garfield asked.

"I'm going to stay at Uncle J'onn's place would you like yo stay the night?" M'gann asked trying to avoid the topic.

"I'd like you to talk to me" Garfield refuses to let this go causing M'gann to sigh.

"I'm just realizing how much I should've listened to Conner" This threw him off completely as she hasn't talked about him much since they broke up.

"What do you mean?" He asked cautiously.

"I made a mistake and I don't know if I can take it back, Gar I promise I'll talk to you about it soon but right now I just need to rest" Garfirld nodded in agreement following her out of the base.

REYES RESIDENCE

Bart sat down on Jaime's bed the older teen was laying down in shock he couldn't begin to understand what was going on. Apparently he becomes a monster an animal a savage all because of the reach.

"I understand why this may be a surprise to you" Bart attempted to empathize with him.

"I'm sorry for everything I did or will do I'm so sorry that happened to you Bart" Jaime pulled Bart into a hug.

"No, you have nothing to apologize for you didn't do anything" Bart reassured him.

"How can you say that after I hurt you so much" Jaime began to tear up.

"Because you didn't Blue Beetle did and we will never let the reach put your scarab on mode" Bart held Jaime's hand. The two stared at each other a brief smile crossing both of their features.

"How do you know? How do you know I won't turn into that thing" Jaime asked rubbing his thumb along the back of Bart's hand.

"Because for the last month since I got here all I've been doing is watching you and you have shown me on every occasion that you're nothing like the Blue Beetle I know Jaike we'll get through this we'll crash all modes" Bart said reassuringly.

Jaime pulled Bart into another hug and tackled him causing the younger teen to giggle.

WEST/CROCK RESIDENCE

Dick laid on his back in bed. Wally was on top of him , letting out a loud moan as Wally pounded into him each thrust harder than the last.

"Wally" Dick moaned out kissing the speedster, Wally. Bit his lower lip and deepened the kiss.

"God yes" Wally grunted out as his thrust became faster. Wally called out cumming inside of the ex boy wonder. He slumped onto Dick's body breathing heavily.

"Dick how the hell do you stay so tight?" Wally asked jokingly.

"That's my superpower" Dick pecked his cheek. Wally say up smiling at Dick and caressing his cheek.

"So you got your team back? That's good" Wally said bringing up the elephant in the room.

"I knew we would I trust Kaldur" Dick confirmed snuggling into the pillow.

"So what happens now? Do we just go back to nothing once Artemis and Kaldur come back?" Dick asked fear lingering in his voice.

"I'm still not happy with you but I'll admit I missed you Dick a piece of me wants you back but a bigger piece of me is afraid to" Dick nodded, he sat up in the bed and took a seat on Wally's lap running his hands down the speedster's toned body.

"Come on man you know I can't resist you like this" Wally growled.

"Than stop trying and just take what's already yours" Wally grabbed Dick's waist running his hands down Dick's thighs.

"We can't solve everything by having sex" Wally whispered.

"We're not I love you" Wally gulped as Dick leaned down and kissed his neck

"You love me" Dick bit Wally's neck making a moan come from the speedster's mouth.

"And we can talk about the technicalities later when you don't want to make love to me" Dick smirked as Wally began grabbing his ass.

"Which you know is never" Wally kissed his lover and the two began another round.

BASE

Tim and Conner were making in his room he pulled Tim closer deepening the kiss.

"Kon" Tim pulled back breathlessly.

"For a shy guy you use alot of tongue" Tim playfully shoved him which only brought a laugh to Conner.

"Where is everyone anyway?" Tim asked.

"Afraid someone will walk in on us?" Conner joked.

"Ha ha ya know I don't remember you being this funny" Tim slightly pouted.

"Alright well Mal's staying with Karen tonight they didn't wanna be alone after the whole battle with Black Beetle. M'gann took Garfield to J'onn's place and La'gaan went back to atlantis." Conner listed off the residence of the base.

"Hey how's Alfred? It's gotta be lonely in the house by himself" Conner asked Tim.

"Barbara, Dick and myself visit him almost everyday he hides it well but I can tell he's worried about Bruce we all are. How about the Kents?" Tim redirected the question.

"Supergirl has been protecting metropolis in Clark's absence. She's worried about him facing trial though so are Ma and Pa don't even get me started on Lois" Tim understood everyone's worry.

"Alright this conversation is becoming depressing let's do something" Tim sat up walking over to the exit

"Got anything in mind?" Conner followed the boy wonder they took the super cycle into the clouds and looked at all the city lights.

"I never get tired of seeing how the city looks from up here" Tim smiled down.

"Yeah sometimes I'll just fly sphere up here when I want to get away from people" Conner stretched out he watched Tim's face light up with enthusiasm as he watched the city. The cool breeze making his hair sway the twinkle in his blue eyes.

"What?" Tim asked feeling eyes on him.

"I just never realized how perfect you are" Tim blushed he leaned on Conner's shoulder, the Super clone wrapped his arms around Tim's waist and they watched the night sky.

After a couple of hours Conner noticed Tim was fast asleep.

"Tim hey wake up" Tim grumbled clinging onto Conner tighter.

Conner drove sphere back to base and placed Tim in his bed. He removed the 14 year old's jacket, socks and sneakers. He hesitantly moved for his pants quickly unbuckling them and pulling them off leaving him in only a shirt and boxers. He placed a blanket over Tim and kissed his cheek.

"You really are something special"

THE NEXT MORNING

Tim woke up groaning he wasn't in his bed he looked down seeing, he was almost fully naked except for a pair of boxers and one of Superboy's shirt.

"Huh?" Tim looked at the shirt nervously, he looked down on the floor seeing a shirtless Conner sleeping with a blanket over him.

"Oh Kon" Tim smiled at him. He looked over at the table seeing his clothes folded on it. He looked up hearing hushed voices.

"Wally come on someone may hear us" Dick giggled.

"Come on we can be quiet" Wally whispered back.

"Wally come on you don't know who's here" Dick whispered back.

"I can find out" Wally moved at super speed opening the curtain's to everyone room. He let out a scream seeing Tim and Conner. Conner jumped up wondering what happened. Dick watched the two horrified.

"WHAT IS THIS!?" Dick gapped at them.

"Oh my god" Tim covered his face.

"Dick? Wait no this is not what it looks like at all" Conner tried to explain.

"Well clarify because you're both standing here half naked it doesn't look good" Dick said looking away.

"We weren't doing anything I fell asleep last night and Conner let me use his bed" Tim explained the situation.

"And why is Conner only wearing boxers?" Dick asked accusingly.

"That's how I sleep" Conner glared.

"It's true he does but Tim what's with Conner's shirt" Wally said

"Yeah what is that about I didn't put that on you" Conner asked.

"I don't know I just woke up with it on maybe you had one in your bed and I just put it on in my sleep" Tim said.

"And why would you do that?" Dick interrogated him.

"Because I like his smell alright? Dick me and Conner are dating and no we haven't done anything not like you and Wally were about to do here" The oldest of the four blushed looking away.

"Wait you two are back together?" Conner asked.

"It's complicated" They answered in unison.

"I'm going to get home excuse me" Tim closed the privacy curtain.

"So you like how I smell?" Conner smirked.

"Shut up" Tim growled.
