Hello again! 2nd chapter has arrived!
I want to thank my friend LuSver for reviewing it.
I'm not sure of how is the story going to continue. The next chapter will be about a mission, probably connected with the drug stuff that Batman was investigating according to Robin. And Robin and wally? You'll have to read to find out!
Chapter 2: Set off to find your cure
It was Monday again. the computer recognized each member of the Young Justice as they arrived to their recently reconstructed headquarters.
Wally laid on the red couch eating chips and playing some weird Martian card came that he didn't understand with Megan. But none of their minds were actually on the game.
Wally was thinking about why had Robin called him to help him with Captain Cold. He had been thinking about the whole weekend. It had been easy to fantasize, but now that he actually was with Robin, neither of those fantasies seemed true anymore. But still, he wouldn't complain. He was glad that it was Monday and they could be together again. Besides, Robin's outfit pants looked tighter today, somehow. Another thing he wouldn't complain about.
Megan was thinking about Robin. Why hadn't he told her that he liked Artemis? But now that she knew, she would help him. "As soon as I end this game, I'm gonna make everything I can for them to be together alone. But first I need to focus on the game. It's the second time KF plays this game, and he's already beating me!"
Wally had no idea how he and Megan had became such good friends. He had even tried to hit on her when he first saw her. Of course, he was just joking… But she had no idea that he was gay. "Maybe I should tell her. But I don't wanna be her stupid gay friend. Craps, how do you even play this? This cards make no sense… Am I loosing? Are we even playing?"
Robin was playing a solitary as he read the newspaper and prepare coffee. Trying to keep his mind occupied and not think about the redhead that was in the couch one meter away from him. "I didn't know he was so good at card games. And that game is really hard. He may not seems so, but Wally Is smart. And cute. And looks good in that new outf… Focus on the solitary, the coffee and the newspaper, Dick. For god's sake."
Connor and Kaldur were talking at the table. They were worried. why didn't they have a mission yet?.
"Not that I wish we had one" said Aqualad "I like the rain, but it's so hard that if I got out, I could probably swim."
They laughed. it was unusual to see Superboy laugh, but since he and M'gann were dating he seemed more… human. somehow, the Martian girl had humanized him.
But their worries wouldn't last for long. Batman appeared on the screen and told them to chase some guys somewhere, because they were doing something. Nobody paid much attention, they just did what thy were ordered to. Because of the rain, everyone was feeling down and needed to get out. It took them three hours, and Artemis, who arrived later, got one of her own arrows in her knee (which led to thousands of Wally's joke to which no one but himself and sometimes robin laughed at). They arrived to the HQ at 10 pm.
Two days later, Robin finally got some time alone to talk to Megan.
"We need to talk. You've been acting weird around Artemis and me last week. Why?"
"Oh, shut up, Robin. I know."
"You know what?"
"That you like Artemis!"
The Boy Wonder made a pause, trying to understand what his friend had just said.
"Megan, what in the world has made you think that I like… now, what in the world made you think that I could possibly like... what the hell are you talking about!?"
"Wait… so you don't like Artemis?"
"No, we're just friends."
"Then why have you been acting so weirdly lately?" The honest surprise in the redhead's voice made Robin decide to tell her the truth."
"Ok, I'll tell you why, But you have to promise you won't tell anyone, except from Connor, Kaldur and Artemis, who I've already told."
"I promise."
The teenager made a pause. It wasn't easy to come out. Not even for the son of the man who feared nothing.
"Megan… I'm gay."
Megan suddenly understood everything.
"Hello, Megan! It was so obvious! So, it's Wally who you like, isn't he?"
Dick's face got as red as his crush's hair.
"Yeah…" Robin only said "yeah" when he was embarrassed. he usually spoke perfectly, without contractions and stuff. He even used an English accent sometimes.
"Well, I'm sorry to be so rude, but, after you, of course, I'm Wally's best friend. If he was gay, I'd knew it." Megan looked sad. But Robin wasn't.
"Hey, it's ok. I know that he's straight. He tried to hit on you, remember?" Robin didn't understand why when someone said they liked somebody, everyone tried to help. Luckily, his case was helpless, so Megan wouldn't try to interfere.
"But I'm gonna help you!" announced Megan.
"Fuck" thought Dick. And he let his friend give a long speech about how love knew no limits and stuff as he thought about the crossword of the newspaper. Easy one. Wally had helped him with some chemistry terms. It had been nice.
Wally really wanted to come out to Megan. But somehow, every time he tried, something got on his way.
The first time, that something was a Superman's clone's tongue. The second time, the coffee that Megan was drinking felt on her and her skin was burning. The third time, Wally had started to cough, so she offered him an aspirin. She seemed very busy looking for that aspirin. You can't just interrupt someone when they're looking for something so concentrated. It would be just mean.
But on Friday, Wally found himself alone with Megan in the kitchen. No aspirin, no coffee, no kissing. So, he took a deep breath and said:
"Megan, I…"
But the girl interrupted him.
"M'gann."
"What?" Asked the teen, confused.
"I want my friends to call me by my real name. Connor likes it better."
"Oh. Ok. So, Megan, I've something important to tell you. I'm gay."
Or, at least, that's what Wally wanted to say. Instead, this came out of his mouth.
"Oh, Ok. So, Megan, I've something important to tell you."And then, a 5 minutes long awkward silence.
"Are you gonna talk or just stand there looking stupid?" asked Megan staring a his friend.
Kid Flash felt the heat in his cheeks as they turned as red as his hair.
"I'm gay."
He had expected many reactions. Some of them included hugging, other's even Megan getting angry at him. But he never expected the girl to open his eyes like she had seen a ghost and say to him:
"Who do you like?"
"What?"
"Who. Do. You. Like. I assume you have feelings for someone. Who. Is. Him?" Megan was amazed. Could it be? Could Wally like Robin?
Wally hesitated. Was he ready to tell her that he liked Dick?
"I asked you something, Wallace West. Answer!" she sounded both angry and happy at once. Wally didn't understand a thing.
"Don't tell him, ok? And don't kill me, because you look like you want to. I… I think I like Robin."
Megan hugged him. Now, that was the reaction he was expecting.
"Gosh, I'm so excited about you two! This is so cute!" Megan continued to talk and smile and stuff.
"Craps" thought Wally "I'm gonna become her stupid gay friend. This sucks."
As they hugged, they heard the first drops falling against the ceiling. It had started to rain again.
