A/N: Long time no update ^.^' Haha, yeah, just haven't wanted to do a whole lot of shipping other than NightArt lately, but here's an update and it's completely against my usual shipping just because it was annoying on the show. But here's the Supermartian piece.

Disclaimer: I do not own.
Sidenote: Writing from Conner's perspective is HARD! Sorry for the OOCness at times.

Sing For You

Supposedly, it's her Earth birthday today. She put a lot of work into calculating our moon cycles compared to those of Mars and wasted almost an entire math class (I had to teach her how to graph cosine equations later) figuring out what day would be her Earth birthday. Figured it out now, but still, I'm not exactly a great teacher and she didn't do so well on that test. I even offered to let her read my mind, but she said it was cheating…

Anyways, her birthday's today and, as much as I really hate to say it, I probably have the best present ever for her.

Wally went classy and got her an ass-load of cookbooks. Robin brought a nice man in a nice suit who's been bustling around all day making cake and other fun foods, although I do wonder why there's a stranger allowed in Mount Justice. (Hey, he makes good cupcakes, I shouldn't complain.) Kaldur's been morphing some kind of ice sculpture while Artemis takes her shopping for the day so the rest of us can decorate and get everything else ready.

Meanwhile, Zatanna and Rocket are picking out dresses or whatever, being girls. One thing I love about M'gann: she doesn't take five hours to find clothes. I've been in Zatanna's room, I'm pretty sure she doesn't know how to clean. Rocket's just a mess, but you can blame that one on her upbringing.

Then there's me, who's a little bit OCD about certain things ("Wally, put things away after you eat." "Why is there water all over training area?") because I was raised in a place where everything was the hospital kind of clean, literally. And I only have one t-shirt, so it's not even an issue. M'gann is simple like that too, just changing her shirt whenever she feels like it. It's pretty cool.

Back to the point: I got her the best present ever.

Recognized: Artemis, B-07.
Recognized: Miss Martian, B-05.

Show time.

Wally and Robin are the first two up there, greeting her, presenting gifts, offering big smiles, being adorable. Then Rocket and Zatanna appear from their rooms, both looking "bangin'". (Rocket said it…) Then M'gann morphs her own clothes to match their attire, a slim dress covering her green skin, tight against her curves…

And we boys are all just thinking, "Wait, dress code?"

There's a little bit of laughing while they all talk and chat and be girls about everything, even Robin and Wally, and Artemis kind of walks away, standing next to me while Kaldur goes to get the man in the suit so he can leave. "What'd you get her?" Artemis asks, shooting me a curious look. Because we all know the boyfriend has to do something especially nice. Artemis took her shopping, Rocket and Zatanna are taking her clubbing, everyone else went pretty easy, but then there's me.

"You won't even see it."

Her eyes widen in that way where I know I've said something wrong. Wally gives me that look a lot. "Conner…"

Realization. "No, no, it's not-" I even laugh. "-it's not that. It's special."

She backs off pretty fast with a smile. Trust is a big thing with Artemis, and she gets it. "Alright, lover boy," she teases. "Just have her back by eleven." Artemis goes to leave.

"We're not going anywhere…" I say, knowing that confusion is written all over my face.

Her asian eyes squint at me like they're screaming, "What the fuck?" Instead of asking, Artemis just lets me off the hook and walks away with a flip of her hand, not bothering with questions. She just lets me go.

"Conner!" Her arms are around my neck, and it's the greatest feeling. Love. Love is beautiful, amazing, incredible, fantastic. I know she loves me, and it's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. Love. It's… it's indescribable.

"Happy birthday, M'gann," It's all I can really get out while her arms are tightening around my neck in that type of squeeze hug she so often gives. I let my hands fall to the small of her back and kiss her forehead the best I can while she continues to hug me like I'm some kind of giant teddy bear.

From behind her, just outside of the living area, I can hear Wally mutter, "Watch, he'll forget about the present part."

Robin comments, "Nah, Conner's got the hang of things now. He's got this one covered."

This whole team is such a great family to me, but M'gann will always be the one who saved me from myself through the whole ordeal.

"Want to see your present?" I ask as soon as she has relinquished her hold on me. Good to know I'm not in danger of choking any longer.

"You didn't have to get me anything," she insists and blushes a bright pink.

The collective scoff in the room is… it's great. Family: they're always there to annoy you.

"Here." I take her hand and squeeze it tightly, letting the corners of my lips turn upwards. She has that effect on me, and it's inevitable. "Read my mind."

There's a nervous moment for her where she has to think about it, wondering what all is in my head. She's seen the dark things from Cadmus and the happier moments like that day where they all buried me in sand while I was trying to sleep. Megan knows there are different sides of me, and it's almost like she fears which side she'll see. But she gingerly reaches out and touches my mind, and I pull her in fast so the link is cemented.

And I show her everything: the first time we met, the first time we kissed, all the times I fell in love with her all over again, how much I try to love her hockey puck cookies, the pain of thinking she had frozen to death in Belle Reve, the panic of seeing a fire whenever she's near, the absolute adoration of everything she does and says, the way I can watch her in school because it's not like I'm learning anything new, all the times we'd made dinner together, all of the training sessions where I've held back so not to hurt her, the time we walked around Happy Harbor and got lost for almost a whole day, and the moment when I realized I was in love with her.

All of it pours from me to her and I know she's drinking it in, relishing in every moment. Her mind has a different aura when she's blissfully happy. And when I've shown her every moment I can remember of when I've been so incredibly satisfied around her, she withdraws her mind from mine and reality fades back into my eyes. "Conner…"

"Happy birthday," I repeat, and the words hardly get out before she's on her tiptoes kissing me, lips melting together, bodies blending. We really are one.

In the background, Wally mutters, "I don't get it."

I can hear Artemis elbow him and she explains, "You don't have to get it. Love just is."

A/N: Really strayed from the song on this one, but hey, I do what I can. Review?

P.S. As for continuity, it's during a Spitfire break-up period, hence the slightly hostile territory. Because I could really see this being canon.
