A Musical Sequel
Can You Feel the Love Tonight?
As soon as they were back at the Mountain, Cassie and Connor went off by themselves. Everyone else went to their rooms to get some rest, the kitchen to get some food, or the living room to hang out.
Connor took Cassie out the back of the Mountain and they sat, looking out over the ocean. Back in the Mountain, M'gann looked out the backdoor and saw them. She watched them, saw how they talked together, how Cassie was flirting with him. And it made her incredibly angry.
"Hey M'gann, what's up?" Nightwing stopped when he saw her.
"I can see what's happening," she replied
"What?"
"And he doesn't have a clue."
"Who?"
"They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two."
"Wait, what?"
"The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air."
"You really should leave them alone. You've both moved on, isn't that a good thing?"
M'gann shook her head and kept watching them. She knew it was wrong to be jealous of the couple, but Connor was hers first. She even named him. What right did Cassie have to flirt with him?
The sun was setting in the sky, the couple still sat there. NIghtwing decided to give up and left M'gann there spying on them. He had better stuff to do.
Outside, Cassie and Connor sat, content with each others company, watching the sunset.
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Connor glanced over at Cassie. He hadn't shared his backstory with the new members of the Team, they didn't really know anything about him.
"So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth my life? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me."
He turned away, and she looked at him. She knew that there was something he wasn't telling her. There were rumors about him on the Team, that he was a bad guy turned good, that Superman despised him, that he was Superman and Wonder Woman's love child. It was ridiculous. But that didn't matter to her. She knew he was a great friend, a great teammate.
"He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the man I know he is
The man I see inside?"
They sat in a slightly more awkward silence, but it was nice. It had been a long time wince Connor had been so comfortable around a person, for Cassie, it was the first time.Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
The two got up. M'gann went into camouflage mode as they passed. She sighed, miserable.
"And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed…"
Nightwing showed up behind her.
"His love-struck days with you are history."
"In short, Connor is doomed."
"Not really, he's happy. Isn't that enough for you?"
"I guess it'll have to be."
So, this story is done! Kinda. I have a bonus chapter, but the plot line is done. Anyways, hope you enjoyed it!
