"But there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears." - After the Storm by Mumford & Sons
In all honesty, he should have remembered how the last visit went with Jason before inviting him to see the new team. He also should remember that the younger man would gain his revenge in a similar manner that Remy had embarrassed him. Just turned up a few more knotchs than what he did. But remembering that little fact probably wouldn't save him all the embarrassment from the stories that Jason was currently telling about him with his teammates. (But at least he would have been better prepared, damn it!)
As he stared at every single member of the team, laughing and giggling at his unfortunate mistakes, Remy had to wonder how they would use this against him. Spending time with Jason and the X-Men taught him that friend groups would tease and prod each other with such information for months on end.
"Oiseau, why must you tell them that one!" Remy whined as Jason started up a particularly embarrassing story concerning him about getting caught stealing a wallet from a passing civilian in Gotham. It hadn't ended well.
Jason paused in his story to look over at Remy with a smirk that spelt out the mischief that he had planned. Then he said "Because I can Rem."
With a groan, Remy placed his head into his hands. His teammates laughed at this exchange, which caused a rare blush in the Cajun. The most noticeable laughter came from Pietro, the man obviously enjoying this. Feeling a hand place itself on his shoulder, Remy looked up to see Lorna. While her expression was cool, there was something in her eyes that spoke her comfort towards him.
"Your friend knows a lot about you." She said, looking towards the younger man gleefully tell stories. Remy followed her gaze, wondering what his leader thought about their friendship. He knew that many heroes didn't befriend Jason because of the way that young man operated on villains. (Or those who that the young man felt should be put down permanently.)
"Oui Red Hood has known me since I was a teenager. Probably more than he should reveal."
"I'm sure he won't reveal everything. You had to keep some things from him."
"You underestimate my willingness to keep my mouth shut Lorna. Especially around him since he's known me since I was 15." The with a softer tone, "He's just teasing me since I teased him the last time. Just doing it a lot worse than I did it."
He saw the smile that spread across on Lorna's face. It made her look younger, more like the woman in her 20's that she was supposed to be. "Well if anyone can get a chance to embarrass you like he's doing than they should take that chance."
"Even when being comforted by you, I still somehow get burned."
"Remy, you should know by now that you're too much fun to not tease. Better get Red Hood to your apartment before Pietro invites him to permanently being on the team." Lorna said to him. Then she joined the rest of their teammates surrounding Jason.
With another sigh, Remy quietly made his way to the younger man. It was rare to see Jason being like this outside of his own team, teasing and telling stories meant to make people laugh. Remy wasn't about to take that rare moment away, even if it would come to at the expense of his dignity.
After all, it would give him the chance to embarrass the younger man even more with the next visit he had with the Outlaw team.
Sorry for not posting for two months. Also sorry for posting in 2019 and not 2018. Just a hit huge road block with how I was writing the chapter and couldn't get past it no matter what I did to change the outcome of the writing or how much time I would spend away to keep myself from getting frustrated.
I just decided to make the last chapter short and sweet, instead of struggling with trying to make the last chapter longer and involve a lot more that just wasn't working out for me. I'd rather it be this way than make something I wasn't gonna be proud of.
Anyway this is me rambling about why it took that much time to write what was is basically short chapter that's not even a 1,000 words lol. Hopefully it's decent enough for an ending for a crossover that was honestly a lot of fun to write.
