Chapter 57: Somebody to Love

Jason's POV

I could see Bruce leading date number four, Diana, out onto the dance floor for a dance. I rolled my eyes as Damian kissed Mia's hand before asking for a dance. Dick had his lips locked onto Barbara's as they danced. Even Babybird was dancing with that little blond chick he has a crush on! What the Hell is wrong with me! Why can't I get a girl?

Stupid Bruce and his stupid "Let's throw a party and have the Justice League and my snobby rich friends come over!" Ugh! I may as well just go back upstairs and sleep. I turned and leaned against the balcony as I looked up at the night sky before downing the glass of wine that I had been lucky enough to get away with before Alfred found out.

"Jason, aren't you a little young to be drinking?"

My mouth nearly fell open as I turned and found Donna Troy standing directly behind me. Her sexy black dress revealed the perfect amount of cleavage. Okay, play it cool. I can do this. Oh my God! What do I do?

"Donna." I breathed as she came forward and hugged me for a second before she let go.

A moment of silence passed between the two of us before a smile spread across my lips.

"What? What are you smiling at?"

"Oh nothing. It's just that I'm finally taller than you."

"I've noticed, you're more muscular too." She added. "Although, if I close my eyes, I can still see the scrawny and mouthy little twelve year old who enjoyed torturing his older brother."

I smiled at her comment. "Yep, that would be me."

"I'll never forget how you managed to sneak on our Titan trip to Vegas."

"Don't forget about the part where I saved everyone from Slade." I added.

She rolled her eyes. "How can I; you talked about it the entire way home."

"What I can I say, I'm amazing."

"Tell me, what else is amazing about you?"

"Dance with me and I'll show you."

"Challenge accepted." She playfully replied.

She placed her left hand on my shoulder as I rested my hand on the small of her back as we took each other's free hand. We swayed to the music. I could see Dick smirking at me before Barbara regained his attention.

"So tell me about you."

"Me? Um, well… I have a B in government." I relayed the first thought that came to my mind.

"That's right. You're not finished with school."

"Yeah, I had to repeat after my "car accident" and I after I ran away." I replied softly.

"I remember." She said softly. "I came to see you after Dick told me. He broke down when he arrived at the tower. He told me about what that monster did to you. You only had about a two percent chance of making it out of the surgeries alive." She whispered as her dark hair covered her eyes for a second before her eyes met mine.

"You came to see me?" I asked, surprised. Dick and Donna weren't even together anymore when the Joker tried to kill me.

"I did and it was so hard for me to see you like that. You weren't awake when I came."

"Oh." I lamely replied, not knowing what to say as I dropped my eyes. Does she actually care about me?

"And as far as you running away from home goes… we all make mistakes. I know that a lot of people are disappointed in you and they constantly question your stability, but if something happened, I'd stand with you." She said, meeting my eyes.

"Thank you. That means a lot, but some of the people here would disagree with you." I softly replied.

"You're not the monster a lot of people make you out to be. You are a good man and a good brother."

"I am amazing, aren't I?"

She smirked at me. "You've never failed to allow your sense of humor to ruin a mood, have you?"

"Could be worse. I could have Dick's or Tim's or Damian's sense of humor. Now that would be horrible." I joked.

"True. But, it's what helps make you who you are."

"Then what am I?"

"A good, charming, responsible, handsome, witty, caring, strong, smart, and sexy man."

"So you admit that I'm sexy?" I joked as she rolled her eyes.

"And if I say yes?"

"Then I'd say that you are a smart, stunning, brave, kind, beautiful, graceful, and sexy warrior princess." I replied as she blushed.

"Then my answer is definitely yes."

"I'm glad… Donna, there's something I want to ask you."

"Yes?"

I slowly exhaled. I can do this. I can do this. I'm the son of Batman! I can do this! "Do you want to go out with me? I mean I know you're older than me. And you did date my brother-"

I was interrupted by her answer. A passionate kiss.

Dick told me that out of all of the girls that he's been with, it's always been Barbara. I guess I'm the same way for me. It's always been Donna. Always.

Bruce's POV

I leaned against the railing of the balcony. I looked down to find Jason and Donna seated on the swing set beneath the trees. Her head rested against his shoulder as his arm wrapped around her side. I silently prayed Jason wouldn't try to unzip her dress. The last thing I needed is for Diana to try and kill him tonight.

"Bruce, you do realize I will have to kill Jason if he tries anything, don't you?" Diana asked as she closed the balcony doors and drew the curtains.

"And what makes you think he'd try anything?" I asked as she came to stand beside me.

"Because, he's your son and he's too much like you." She replied, leaning her head against my shoulder.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I replied, reaching for the zipper on her dress.
