"Ice cream brings people together." -Doug Ducey

Jericho shrunk back, pulling his collar over his chin as he nervously stared back at his team. Looking down at the smaller boy Kid Flash's mouth hung open so wide that flies could use it as a landing pad to rest their tired wings, poor Argent was shocked to the point that for a moment she forgot she was hovering and stumbled to the ground hardly managing not to topple over, Jinx's hand were sparking with tendrils of magenta as her cat eyes bulged and her devil horn hair frizzed up dramatically, while Hot Spot was left stuttering in absolute silence as his hands froze in motion as if he was about to physically grab the blond but couldn't remember how to, and the Herald was beyond stunned, only one of his eyebrows had moved upwards in the last forty seconds the rest of him motionless like stone. And the reason for his team's sudden disbelief was because of their youngest member's mind blowing confession.

"You never had… ice cream ever?" Kid Flash asked, finally finding a voice albeit he sounded horrified.

The green eyed boy nodded his head as he pulled at his clothing more, his cherub face now a perfect cherry red. The pressure around him made him feel like shrinking up right then and there to hide from the embarrassment.

"Oh my God."

"That's it. We need to change this now." Jinx said, slowly overcoming her astonishment which began morphing into unbridled determination, "Never having ice cream is like basically not living."

"Yes, absolutely true!" Agreed Argent, balancing herself properly this time, as she dusted off her skirt she pulled out a pocket book, "I've got my purse!"

"I'll take us there." Their leader said, grabbing the Horn of Gabriel from his belt.

Immediately blowing into his trumpet, the Herald opened a portal to the local ice cream parlor and pushed his friends through, except for Hot Spot who was dragged through.

Now standing in front of a display which was full of an endless array of flavors hidden behind a glass panel, a young woman from the other side of the counter looked at the overwhelmed Jericho and smiled pleasantly.

"What flavor would you like, sweetie?"

Turning his fluffy head behind him he saw the fond and excited gazes of his teammates; Kid Flash already had stuffed his mouth with multiple scoops smearing some of it across his cheeks, Argent was waving at him happily with one hand carrying her purse ready to pay in the other, Jinx was handing out napkins to her messy boyfriend sighing as he dropped some whip cream on to her dress, Hot Spot was giving him a thumbs up as he half observed the chocolate selections nearby, and the Herald stood smirking softly at him giving the other a small wink of encouragement. Facing back to the employee, the towheaded titan pointed to a container full of a beautiful pastel pink cream and brightened up with his own tiny grin.

'Strawberry, please.'
