"Maybe they won't be terribly angry about this update being late..." *Jumps out of the bunker.* Girlish screams as author barely avoids getting burned by one of Bluedog's dragons, shot by Golem's OC Match, stabbed by SteinMon's Malkarasha pet, shanked by bearhow's OC Drake, and tarred and feathered by a host of angry readers. *Jumps back behind cover* "Maybe my latest experiment for torturing the readers was a little much." *Outside author's bunker, Franky approaches the door* "Where are ya, Allen!? My knives are sharp and waiting for ya!" *Author shivers in fear* "Why did Foamy have to make that OC? As long as-" *Laser blast slams against the door of the bunker* "AW FETCH! He brought Masterblaster Al too!" *Hurries to computer* "Only fluff can appease them now! Gotta hurry, gotta-" *Latest OC, Adam, who's sick of the author forgetting to update his story, rises from his corner and slashes down the door, allowing a mob of angry people to come bursting in* "AHHHHHHHHHH!" And that was how this latest chapter came to be.

With that aside, I have a big thank you to SteinMon. He gave me permission to use a passing reference to one of his animal creations for this chapter. (Hope you're continuing to do well SteinMon, a bunch of other readers and I can't wait for your next chapter!)

Now, onto the chapter!


Mailbox Time!

ANTI REAPER: Thanks, man. Sorry for the delay.

CecilTheSeahawk: You requested it, so here you are, more fluff!

SteinMon1920518: I guess I did leave you biting on your fingernails for a month or so there. Odd, maybe in the time it took for me to update this they grew back :). By the time things get serious again, you'll have plenty to knaw on! XD

Mr. Ursine: Like cotton candy, that makes me wonder if this'll hit your sweet tooth.

Drakena: Sorry, I tried to tone down on saying dude in later chapters. I just realized that was supposed to be a part of his speech pattern late on and tried to correct it. Ended up overly correcting it by accident.

TheAlienHeart: I'm glad you enjoyed the fluff! Here's to some more!

WarpCrazy: One of the reviewers wondered if Raven was seeing the future or not in that dream. I will spoil such information at another time. The neck is a hint.

Eris: Yeah, about that update soon... sorry about that.

El manco 99: Oh goodness. The ultimate troll is about to get ultimately owned!

Azarath Cat: I know. I hate it when Fanfiction does that to me too. Wait 3 years for something to happen and I don't realize till a few weeks later that Fanfiction broke on me. It's almost as bad as when the author waits another three weeks before updating. Leaving his readers hanging that entire time... crap, I'm a hypocrite! XD

MLalonde: I'm glad you're reading or rereading a lot of my fics! I'll make sure to keep posting to this in the future so you and the others will find out what happens.

Sanzojoe: Glad you've caught up! As to the question, spoiler. :)

Infinite Reader: Thank you.

J-Rob95: I never pictured it that way. I just wanted something to move away from all the terror and despair of before. I'll remember that.

LunaWillows: Thank you! Glad you're still on board too with reading this!

Dropbox1999: Thanks, man! And wow you read quick!

Ziadgaberjr: I'm out testing new ways to torture the reader population. My latest experiment was delaying an update with the excuse of college work. Did it work?

Chapter Fifty: Hard to Get


Four days later…

The scene showed a bright clear blue sky. The sun was shining brightly in the southwestern sky. It was between late afternoon and early evening for the California Coast. A flock of seagulls flew south along the rocky coastline of the Pacific Ocean down below…

The scene shifted to a few miles in the east…

Beast Boy and Raven sat a couple of feet from the top of a tree-covered hill. A forest was spread out around them stretching into the distance. The canopy opened up in front of them, allowing them to see the wonderful view of the ocean while the thick canopy of leaves above them kept the two from worrying about being spotted by the Justice League.

They had traveled west and reached the Pacific Ocean the day before. They had been traveling south from there when Raven found this spot in the mountains. She had suggested it as a good place to rest for a while and prepare to finish the last leg of their journey.

Beast Boy had readily agreed to the idea.

Now, they sat side by side, with a foot of room between them. They sat on a thick blue blanket that was spread out on the ground. A picnic basket, along with two plates that had half-eaten sandwiches on them laid nearby. The two had forgotten about their food though, and about preparing for Jump City. They were instead enjoying the view with the peace and quiet all around them.

Raven shifted a little bit, and her hand moved next to Beast Boy's hand. He got the unspoken message, and his hand moved to rest on top of hers. His thumb rubbed calming small circles around one of her pale knuckles.

Raven sighed gently.

The atmosphere all around was just so… peaceful. The wind was blowing calm and gentle. The birds and animals in their general vicinity were going along with the sounds of nature. Even her green boyfriend next to her was portraying calm happiness he rarely showed to others. She could tell that like her, he felt at peace in this quiet little grove of theirs. And his calm happiness rubbed off on the atmosphere around him in such a way that she had a small relaxed smile resting on her face.

'I thought the transition from best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend would have been different somehow.' Raven thought.

She had never thought before that she'd open up to anyone as quickly as she had to Beast Boy in recent days. Not just in conversing with him about her feelings, but also in physically being with him. Now, it was like she almost sought for small moments like this. Where she could touch a part of him, know that he really was there and that he really did feel the way he did about her… while making sure that nothing exploded of course.

It was so silly and so meaningless. But even the small action of him gently caressing her hand made Raven want to smile a little more.

'Why am I being like this? I've never wanted so much for someone to touch me before.' Raven thought in the back of her mind.

'If you think about it, a similar thing did happen to us way back when.' Knowledge said.

'When?' Raven thought curiously.

'… You know. That brief time when we were with the evil dragon before he showed us that he was an evil dragon.' Wisdom said bluntly.

… 'Oh yeah.' Raven thought.

Thinking back on those bittersweet memories didn't pull her away from the peace she felt then. She could see it since she had almost sought out those compliments and hugs that came so readily from Malchior before he showed he was evil. 'I guess I did that once before.' Raven thought.

Beast Boy's hand moved from off her hand and moved to rub up and down her arm. "Mmmm…" Raven hummed happily. Malchior immediately left her mind. Beast Boy smiled a little bigger next to her. Inside his mind, the Beast was purring contentedly and not bothering him.

'This is nice.' Both of them thought at the same time.

"Gar," Raven said after some time.

"Yeah, Rae." He replied. His hand had moved to rub along her shoulder blade. Raven had to pause as she felt the muscles in her shoulder relax under his hand.

'Azar. How did he get capable of doing stuff like this.' She thought.

"I'm just curious…" She started to say.

His hand moved up her shoulder to her neck, where his hand started to go through her silk-like strands of violet hair. The action again made Raven pause. "Mmmm…" She started to hum happily again.

Beast Boy smiled a bit more at the response he got. Plus, he was also a little surprised that Raven was allowing him to touch her hair… and her neck… and her shoulder… and her arm and hand… just touching her in general. She was usually less fond of physical contact… but lately, she had been allowing it more and more. She'd also taken to rubbing his ears sometimes. An action the Beast really appreciated. It was weird but in a good way… as long as he wasn't pushing her boundaries that is. She had said before she'd tell him if he was pushing anything…

'Actually. I might be pushing it a little here.' He realized after a few seconds of feeling her hair. She had cut it back to her classic A-Cut length the day after they'd admitted their feelings for each other. He started to pull his hand away.

Raven leaned her head back into his hand again, and Beast Boy stopped. 'Or maybe this is just my lucky day and I should take advantage of this while Rae's like this.' He thought instead as he continued to feel her smooth violet locks between his fingers.

...

'You know master. If this is our lucky day, then maybe we can figure out if our mate would-' The Beast started to suggest.

"So you were saying something Rae?" Beast Boy quickly asked to cut off the Beast in his mind.

Raven blinked her eyes. "Oh yeah… I wanted to ask you when you first knew that you loved me?" She finally asked in a peaceful tone.

Beast Boy's hand stopped moving through her hair and rested on the back of her neck. His other hand moved to his chin. He had been caught off guard by her question. "Well let me see…" He started, then his smile turned into a mischievous grin. "I can't really tell dude. You kind of grew on me like an ugly wart on my back." He joked.

Raven couldn't help but chuckle at his response, and she pushed his hand playfully off her neck. "That's strange. I was going to use the same analogy for you Gar." She quipped back.

He chuckled a bit at that. "Yeah, except that you're far better looking than a wart Rae." He said playfully before he went back to looking at the view.

Raven chuckled a little bit more. She also blushed a little bit at his offhand comment. He hadn't called her beautiful per se, but she could tell he was strongly suggesting something like that. "You aren't too bad yourself Gar." She said softly before looked back at the view too.

She scooted closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder. His arm automatically went over her shoulders and held her close.

They were quiet for a bit again as they relaxed into each other…

"To be honest Rae, it kind of came bit by bit." Beast Boy finally said.

"Hmmm?" Raven hummed in a relaxed tone.

"You know. My feelings for you." Beast Boy added.

… "Oh," Raven said more curiously. 'I forgot we were talking about that.' Raven thought embarrassingly.

'We have been forgetting things more and more around Gar lately.' Knowledge noted.

'Didn't we already note that once before Knowledge?' Wisdom asked.

'… Whoa. I actually did.' Knowledge said after a moment in surprise. 'I forgot that being with Gar makes me forget some things.' She said in an almost embarrassed tone.'

'I'm so happyyyyyyyy!' Happy said as she cartwheeled around the two.

'So, in wuvvvvvvv.' Brave said childishly while cartwheeling with her.

'I never knew giving Love supreme rule in here would be so greatttttt.' Rude drawled dreamily.

'You can say that again Sister. I've never felt so useful in my entire existence in here.' Love said softly.

'Is there such a thing as lover's high Wisdom? Because it sounds like some of my emoticlones are suffering from it.' Raven asked.

'It did kind of happen on a smaller scale when we were with Malchior. But we're really in it this time since our relationship with Gar has had a lot more time to mature than Malchior's did... And we're not planning on stopping it.' Wisdom said dreamily.

'How long do you think this period of lovers high will last then?' Raven asked.

'I'm hoping for foreverrrrrr.' Happy drawled in the background.

'I'm with you on that sisterrrrrr.' Rage drawled in the background with Happy.

'You know what. I kind of agree with Happy for once. This is kind of a nice change.' Knowledge said a little dreamily.

Raven blinked to herself somewhat in surprise. 'Sometimes I wonder how this can be my mind.' She thought.

'Because you're one messed up person that we love being a part of.' Rude said sarcastically and dreamily at the same time.

Raven again blinked, and she shook her head to clear it. 'I really should focus more on the real world.' She thought. "When did your feelings for me start then Gar?" She asked again after being quiet for a minute.

Beast Boy had fortunately been pondering on that subject with the Beast when she asked… "To be honest Raee, my feelings for you didn't really have a starting point. It kind of just grew and grew… until I finally noticed it a while back." He said simply.

Raven thought to herself for a moment. 'It never did come as some big revelation or anything like that.' She realized. 'It was a gradual growth, as a plant budding from a seed. It took a while to notice it, but when I finally did…'

Beast Boy chuckled a little bit. "It then took me another couple of months after that to get myself to accept that fact." He joked.

Raven chuckled at that. He had just finished the other part of what she had been thinking on with that statement. "I'm surprised I didn't decide to wait longer to accept my feelings for you after your confession." She quipped back.

Beast Boy faked being indignant and turned his head to look at her. "Aw come on Rae. You know you're glad you did." He said playfully.

"Maybe a little bit," Raven said back as she pulled a little on the sleeve of his uniform.

"Plus, you know I'm not that bad a deal to have as a boyfriend." He said in jest as he pointed himself out. "I could turn into any cute animal you wanted!"

"Alright, how about a Malkarasha," Raven demanded.

A confused look came onto Beast Boy's face. "A malta-what now?" He asked.

Raven smirked. "You said you'd turn into any cute animals that I wanted. I want you to turn into one of the only pets I was allowed to have back in Azarath. A Malkarasha."

"But how am I supposed to turn into something I've never seen before?!" He asked indignantly.

"I could draw it out for you to visualize." Raven offered.

"But your drawing skills are horrible!" Beast Boy complained. It wasn't a lie.

"I thought you said you weren't that bad a deal to have as a boyfriend Gar?" Raven challenged.

"But that was before you… you…" Beast Boy tried to find something to counter-argue with.

Raven leaned back from him. "Fine. Do you really want me to say it." She said blandly.

"Say what?" Beast Boy asked curiously.

Raven then smirked again. "I still think Aqualad would have been a better deal." Raven joked since she knew how jealous he was of him. "At least he'd make a water version of a Malkarasha for me using a description."

Beast Boy blanched at that. Then he looked really indignant when he realized Raven was messing with him. "Oh, it's so on now Rae." Beast Boy said as he got up.

Whump.

He jumped through the air and tackled her to the ground before she could react.

"Gar!" Raven said in surprise.

Beast Boy laughed as the force of his tackle made them roll off the blanket and roll around on the ground. He was laughing at how he had caught Raven off guard, and he knew that Raven was enjoying it too. Even if she tried to deny it.

Thump.

Suddenly, Beast Boy found himself unable to move and pinned down to the ground on his back. Raven was seated on top of him. His eyes widened in surprise as her eyes glinted humorously. "Hey, what gives?" He asked.

"You know Gar. Having my powers really does help a lot in cases like this." Raven said blandly to him.

He was confused for a second, and then he looked down at his wrists. Thick black ethereal bands of energy were holding them down. He could also feel similar bands around his ankles, thighs, waist, chest, and head.

He looked back up to Raven with an indignant look on his face. Even though he could have easily escaped by morphing into a different animal, he chose the more fun route. "Aw come on Rae. I was only having a little fun there." Beast Boy complained with a pout.

"This isn't fun?" Raven asked curiously. She looked like she was having fun watching him squirm on the ground in his bands.

"No!" Beast Boy yelled indignantly.

"Well isn't that a shame then," Raven said sarcastically before she chuckled.

Beast Boy glared. "Also, dude! I thought we were in a relationship! You know the guy is supposed to be the one that's on top, not the girl!" He decided to joke at the end.

Raven's face became flat at his statement. Beast Boy's glare dropped and a look of fear came into his face. 'I think I might have just pushed Rae a little too far with that one.' Beast Boy realized.

'I'll be hiding in my den if you need me, master. You obviously just gave our mate full permission to harm us.' The Beast said in his mind.

'Hey, you don't run away on me now you freaking big green coward!-' Beast Boy started to think.

Raven leaned her face down close to his and flatly glared into his eyes. His original thought stopped, and he internally gulped. Every single animal in him cried out in fear. "Gar. Just because we're in a relationship now, that doesn't mean you should fear me less from before…" She said in a voice devoid of any emotion.

Beast Boy shakily nodded his head. "Yep. Got it, Rae. No joking on that subject there. Got it, el comprehendo." He said quickly.

She continued to glare at him and moved her face closer. "In fact…" She whispered with her lips a centimeter from his. "… You should fear me more." She whispered in a rather odd suggestive tone in her voice.

Beast Boy couldn't describe what he felt in that moment. It was like a mixture of fear, confusion, lust, and excitement all at the same time. He could literally feel Raven's breath on his lips and became more aware of her body on his. 'Dude, I didn't realize Raven could do something this.' He thought, both fearfully, and excitedly as his eyes closed.

He expected a kiss from Raven, so he puckered his lips. He wasn't sure what kind of kiss it would be, but with how Raven was being in that moment…

'Huh?' He realized after a moment that Raven's weight was no longer on him. He opened his eyes and saw no one on top of him anymore. The bands from before were also gone. He kind of looked like a fish out of the water now with the way his lips were puckered.

"What the heck just happened?" He said in confusion as he got up.

"Hey, Gar." A voice said behind him.

Beast Boy turned around. Raven was standing next to a portal facing the mountains that had been behind them. Her cape was wrapped around her. "If you really want to kiss me that badly." She said back to him with a small smirk on her face. "Then you'll have to find me and get it yourself." She finished before she walked into the glowing black portal.

The portal closed behind her.

Bonk!

Beast Boy was slack-jawed. His jaw had literally just slammed into the ground below him with a loud bonk. "Dude…" He gasped out.

'What was that…' He thought.

'Awhooooo! Aw! Aw! Awhooooooo!' The Beast howled happily inside his mind as he came out of his mental den. 'That was awesome! I love it when our mate plays hard to get!' The Beast said happily.

After a moment, Beast Boy's jaw came back up off the ground. He adjusted it quickly to make sure it was all still there, and then he grinned widely. "Oh, if she's going to play hard to get with me, then it is on like Donkey Kong!" He yelled happily.

He morphed into a peregrine falcon. "Scree!" He screeched before he flew off down the other side of the hill towards the mountains to look for her.


The scene showed an area deeper in the mountains. The forest was thicker at the base of this one tall mountain. Animals from deer and bunnies could be seen in the foliage…

A dark black portal appeared, and Raven stepped out into a small opening at the base of a large tree. A pair of deer nearby looked up at her, and then went back to munching on some of the foliage.

Raven closed her portal behind her and looked behind her. The hill she had just been at looked really small in the distance. It was at least over twenty miles away. She put her hands to her face. She was having to hold back the giddy smile that wanted to appear on it.

'Azar, I can't believe I managed to do that without anything exploding.' Raven thought.

'Girl, what the heck was that?!' Brave yelled happily.

'That was like, the most awesome thing I've ever seen you do to him!' Rude yelled in surprise.

'That was impressive.' Lust said surprisingly. She had never thought about playing hard to get before. It made her feel even more excited about what would happen later. It intrigued her and made her start reconsidering some of the games she wanted to play with their green man.

'Did you see the look on BB's face!?' Happy yelled.

'You, sister, just went up on my scale of how much I like and appreciate you.' Rage said in awe.

'Garfield didn't even see it coming! And he looked so cute with his lips all puckered and everything!' Knowledge shrieked happily like an overexcited schoolgirl.

'I have it saved, and ready to print for all of us so we can remember this moment for all of eternity.' Wisdom said happily in the midst of them.

'Oh, come on. I don't want to exert myself to play a silly-' Sloth started to say.

SLAP!

The slap that knocked Sloth out was easily heard. 'Don't listen to her! This sounds like a lot of fun to me even though I'm scared of how he'll react!' Timid said almost fearfully, but confidently.

Raven chuckled to herself. 'Oh dear, I guess if Timid is behind this and willing to knock out Sloth, then you all are fully behind this game then?' She asked them.

'Yes!' Brave yelled.

'Absolutely!' Knowledge said excitedly.

'Positively.' Love said.

'As long as there's action at the end!' Lust yelled.

'Yeah! Like a deep kiss!' Rage yelled.

'Or a nice warm cuddle.' Timid said dreamily.

'I was thinking more along the lines of-' Lust started to clarify.

SLAP!

Lust was knocked out by a hard slap. Raven had fortunately been focusing on where to portal next, so she didn't notice Lust disappear from her mental conversation.

'There we go.' Raven thought as she saw another clearing a few miles away. Her last portal had been from 20+ miles away, so this would be far easier to do.

"Gar's going to need to have a lot of good luck if he wants to find and catch me," Raven said with glee. Excited at the fun little game she'd come up with.

She opened another portal in front of her and started to walk into it. 'Now, this is a game that I can enjoy-'

She paused. Her hair was on edge. 'Something's coming.' Wisdom said.

'It's coming in fast.' Brave then said.

Something was definitely approaching fast on her senses, and she couldn't tell from where.

'What is that-' She started to think as she turned away from her portal.

She realized what it was right before he rammed her.

Wham!

Raven was slammed sideways away from her portal by a large green bird. She landed on her back in surprise. 'Holy Azar!' She thought in shock.

The presence she had sensed before morphed back into himself on top of her. He easily pinned her down to the ground before she could move to try and escape.

'How in the seven hells did he find me so quickly!?' Raven thought in complete surprise as she opened her eyes. She'd teleported 20 miles away! The question she should have been asking was how he'd already been able to fly that far in a short time. Not how he'd found her so quickly.

Beast Boy was looking down at her, and he was smirking in complete and absolute victory. "Hey there Rae." Beast Boy said huskily.

Most of the emoticlones were speechless. They hadn't expected the game to end that soon. 'Awww…' Some of them said in disappointment.

"H-h-h-" Raven was stuttering from confusion, and possibly nervousness. "HOW?!" She finally managed to yell at him.

He rolled his eyes playfully. "Oh, you know. You said it yourself that when you're in an area you don't know all that well, you have to see where it is you're teleporting to. And you had been facing the mountains here, so it was rather easy to track you down from there." He explained it all simply.

'I guess you did tell him that before Raven.' Knowledge said with a note of embarrassment in her voice.

'I think I might tell him a little too much.' Raven realized.

"So…" Before Raven could think of a response, Beast Boy leaned in closer. "You know what I get to do now that I've caught ya, Rae?" He asked huskily.

Raven felt her heart starting to beat faster in her chest as she nodded her head for him. A tree nearby might have been encased in black, but she didn't care. She closed her eyes and puckered her lips this time in anticipation.

His fang barely grazed her lips, and his nose touched hers as his head lowered within millimeters of hers. Raven shivered at the sensation that came from the brief contact. She could barely wait to feel the rest of his lips make contact with hers…

She was still waiting after a few seconds of feeling his breath tickle her lips…

"Oh Azar, just please hurry up and kiss me already before I blow something up with my-" She said in exasperation and impatience.

Raven finally seemed to realize something.

One, she couldn't feel his breath on her lips anymore. And two, his weight had disappeared from off her. She sat up in surprise at that second realization.

"Gar?" She called.

"Oh, I almost forgot Rae."

Raven turned to the sound of his voice. He was standing at the edge of the clearing, and he was smirking even wider than she had been when she had done the same trick to him. "I guess this is the part where I get to say, you're it!" He said gleefully before he morphed into a peregrine falcon.

Whoosh!

He sped off through the air into the forest.

'Master! You know our mate is going to kill us now, right!?' The Beast asked as if his master was crazy. Which, we all know by this point that Garfield Mark Logan is most definitely crazy.

'I'm counting on it Beast. It's been a while since I've had this great a chance to annoy her on a scale like this!' Beast Boy thought gleefully.

'Sigh… back to the den then…'

Raven was still sitting on the ground in shock. Her mind had to process all that had just happened in those few moments there. Her hand went up and lightly touched her lips. She could feel her fingers, so she definitely would have felt his lips…

'Did he just… pull the same trick on me?...' Raven thought slowly.

All her other emoticlones were silent. They also, like Raven, seemed to be trying to process what had just occurred.

You'd honestly think that Raven would me mad that Beast Boy had just turned the tables on her. That he had found her far too easily, pinned her to the ground in no time, he'd gotten her heart melting and racing in excitement for what she thought would be a deep loving moment between them, which almost made her lose control and blow up a tree… only for him to do the same dirty rotten trick that she had just done to him!

You'd honestly think that Raven would be mad at him for doing such a thing.

'I wanted that freaking kiss!' Rage exploded in fury.

'How dare he do that to us!' Brave yelled angrily.

'That freaking green idiot! Who the hell does he think he is!?' Rude exploded.

'He deserves to pay!' Happy called out with bloodlust.

'And pay us with many kisses!' Timid yelled with a surprising amount of anger.

Raven calmly levitated off the ground while her emoticlones shouted for bloody kisses in her mind. Her hood came over her head, and her eyes glowed an ominous black. She looked scarier than any horror movie at that moment. 'I'm getting that kiss from that idiot. Whether he likes it or not.' She thought with an air of calm anger around her.

Whoosh!

She sped off into the air.


Nearby, a herd of deer grazed calmly in a meadow. Bunnies played around in the long grass. Squirrels raced up in the trees. It was like the scene had been taken right out of Bambi.

...

"SCREEE!" A green peregrine falcon's screech of fear was heard in the distance. All the animals in the area looked up. Their ears arched up to listen…

"Wait, Rae! I was just kidding! Seriously, please don't hurt me!" Beast Boy yelled in fear and pleaded at the end.

"I'm not going to hurt you Gar. I'm just going to take what you owe me." Raven's calm and deadly voice sounded even from miles away.

"Wait. NO! AUGHHH-" !

Beast Boy's scream was cut off by a loud unidentifiable noise.

The animals all shrugged to themselves and went back to what they had been doing.

Knowing Raven, she had probably gotten what she wanted from Gar.

(Crocodile Hunter's Voice)

"And that there kids is why you should never play hard to get when you are in a relationship with the infamous paleous demoness! One way or another, she'll find ya, and she'll get what she wants from ya! Ah, but still, what a sight to behold. The young paleous demoness and the greenius lazicus engaging in such an act of love. It, *sniff* just makes me want to cry!" The Crocodile Hunter started to bawl.

Boom!

A field of trees exploded in a cloud of black energy in the distance. "Krikey! I just realized I'm a little too close to this emotional storm here! Let's grab our cameras and get the bloody hell out of here!"

Boom!

Another explosion happened in the distance. Luckily, a field of thick clouds appeared overhead in the last little while. So hopefully it'll be awhile before the Justice League learned about it.

"Augh! Again, this is the Crocodile Hunter, signing off in the beautiful mountains of the Rockies!"

Boom!

And there went another explosion.

"Get those bloody cameras moving already you wankers!"


Author's Notes:

Yes, the only reason I wrote that one scene over fifteen chapters ago with the Crocodile Hunter was for this, exact, moment. I'm perfectly in love with it. Rest In Peace Crocodile Hunter. RIP

Sorry for the abnormally long wait. School and other things piled up so I didn't have as much time to dedicate to writing for this fic as I did for another fic in a different fandom. I know it's not really much of an excuse since I was still technically working on a fic. XD. I won't forget about you guys though, hopefully ;).

Till Next Time
