Mount Justice
Jun. 10, 2011
3:16 P.M., EST
"I am so bored," announced Artemis.
She and the rest of the team were on summer vacation and didn't have any missions to do as the Justice League were handling everything that wasn't big enough that they needed help. Because of this, they all found themselves at Mount Justice, sitting in the living room and doing absolutely nothing.
"Me too," agreed Robin. It kind of bugged everyone else that they still had yet to know his name. "Okay then," said Zatanna. "Why don't we play Truth or Dare?" "I agree," said Khaldur. Everyone around the room nodded except for Megan and Connor. "What's Truth or Dare?" Megan asked.
"Truth or Dare is a game," said Wally. "Everybody sits in a circle, and someone asks someone else Truth or Dare. Then that person picks and if they pick truth then they have to answer a question and if they pick dare they have to do whatever the person who asked says. After the person that answers is done, he or she has to pick someone else and then it starts all over again."
"Okay," said Megan. "I'm in." Connor nodded in agreement. "Alright then," said Artemis. "Everyone get in a circle."
Everyone did as she said. "I wanna start!" cried Wally. Everyone nodded their consent. "Okay," he said. "Zatanna, truth or dare?" Zatanna rolled her eyes. "I'm not scared of you," she said. "So I pick dare." Wally gave a smirk. "Alright then," she said. "I dare you to kiss Robin. On the lips. For at least thirty seconds."
Both of the teenagers instantly went pink. "Is there any, um, alternatives?" Zatanna asked. Robin nodded hopefully. "Nope," said Wally. "You picked dare." Zatanna bit her lip. Unbeknownst to anyone else, she actually didn't mind having to kiss Robin. She actually liked him a lot. The problem was that she didn't know if he liked her back or not.
Meanwhile, Robin was having the same problem. He had always liked Zatanna from the moment he met her, but he didn't think she would want to be with someone who couldn't even tell you their first name or even show you the color of their eyes.
What sobering thoughts.
Robin turned to look into the deep grey eyes that belonged to the girl he was about to kiss. Nobody could see it through his shades, but had they seen his eyes right then, they would have seen pure fright. He looked into Zatanna's eyes for a moment before he started leaning in, never taking his eyes off the deep blue orbs.
She leaned forward as well, slowly but surely, and as they got closer her eyes fluttered closed. She could feel his breath on her face now. One more second…
Their lips touched, and his hands flew to her face as one cupped her cheek and the other got lost in her hair. She clasped her arms around his neck and leaned closer. He kissed her slowly and timidly at first, but she kissed him back, letting him know it was okay, and the kiss soon became more passionate. Neither knew how long it had been, and neither cared.
"Alright guys," said Wally. "It's been thirty seconds. You can stop now."
They didn't.
"Guys?"
No response.
"ENOUGH!"
The two teens sprang apart, blushing profusely. Both refused to look up at all and looked straight down into their laps. "Okay," said Wally awkwardly. "That happened… Now it's your turn, Robin." The boy in question looked up, and tried to compose himself. He did so, and smirked at the speedster.
"Alright, Wally," he said. "Payback time. Truth or dare?"
Wally gulped. He knew that look. Whenever his best friend got that look in his eyes, the person on the receiving end was never happy. The Boy Wonder could be absolutely evil when he wanted to be. So either I can pick truth, where he will most likely ask me the most embarrassing question he can think of, he thought. Or I can pick dare, where I will probably be forced to do something that will completely and utterly strip me of any self-respect I may have had left.
He went with the less dangerous choice. "Truth," he gulped. Robin cackled. "Alright," he said evilly. "If you could go out with one girl in here, who would it be?" Wally paled.
I can't pick Zatanna, he thought. Robin obviously likes her. And I don't want to pick Raquel, it would hurt Khaldur's feelings. And I definitely don't want Superboy after me, so I can't say M'gann. But that only leaves-
He looked over to Artemis. What was it Kent had said? "Find your own spitfire. One that won't let you get away with nothing. For instance, that-" But he had never finished the sentence. It was definitely a possibility that he had meant her. After all, she was the only one that he had ever really met, and the only one on the team that could fit that description anyway.
But it can't be her, he argued with himself. I don't even like her. We fight all the time! She's the most annoying, mean, unfriendly person on the team! What does it matter if she's pre- NO! STOP RIGHT THERE! There is no way that I could think of the words 'Artemis' and 'pretty' in the same sentence.
Back to the initial problem! If I pick anyone but her, someone else will beat me up. If I pick her, then she could beat me up. So it's between a beating from Connor, a pranking from Robin, and a very sad Khaldur, or an arrow from Artemis and probably Green Arrow. Easy. I am definitely not getting on Robin's bad side again.
"Well," said Robin. "Who's it gonna be?"
Wally winced at what he was about to say. "Artemis," he mumbled. "I'm sorry?" taunted Robin. "What did you say?" "ARTEMIS!" yelled Wally a little too loudly. Automatically he covered his mouth with his hands and turned beet red. Across the room, Artemis was turning the exact same shade.
"Okay," said Robin happily. "Your turn again, Wally."
"Um, Khaldur, truth or dare?" he asked. "I pick truth, seeing how this game has gone," answered Khaldur. "Alright," said Wally. He had formed a plan in his mind. He wanted to do some research. "Did you ever have a girlfriend in Atlantis?" "Yes," said Khaldur. "I once liked a girl named Tula very much."
Just as Wally had thought would happen, when Khaldur said that Raquel clenched her fists. Oblivious, Khaldur went on. "My turn," he said. He looked around the room. "M'gann, truth or dare?" Megan smiled brightly. "I pick dare," she said. Khaldur thought for a moment. "I dare you to transform into a duck for the next three rounds," he said finally. Megan nodded and did as she was instructed.
"Now," she said. It's so weird to have a duck talk to you, thought Artemis. "Truth or dare, Raquel?"
"Truth, girl," said Raquel, her face lit up in a smile even as her fists were still slightly clenched. "Alright," said Megan. "How come when Khaldur answered his truth you clenched your hands into fists?" Everyone's attention instantly snapped to Raquel's hands, as none of them had noticed this before.
Raquel blushed. "N-no reason," she stuttered. "I just, um, can't keep my whole body still for a long time, so I just clench my fists sometimes." "No you don't," said Robin. "You've never done that before." "Yes I have," said Raquel stubbornly. Robin looked at Zatanna and she nodded, rolling her eyes.
"Ekam leuqaR llet eht hturt," she said, pointing at Raquel. (To those of you that don't understand, Zatanna said, "Make Raquel tell the truth.")
"IclenchedmyfistsbecauseIwasjealousofthisTulachick," said Raquel really fast. "ImeanIlikeKhaldurandthinkingofhim withanothergirlmakesmeabitupset, yaknowkindoflikehowZatannatoldmeArtemiswaswhenWallywanteda birthdaykissfromMegan."
(Again, to those who didn't understand that, she said "I clenched my fists because I was jealous of this Tula chick, I mean I like Khaldur and thinking of him with another girl makes me a bit upset, ya know kind of like how Zatanna told me Artemis was when Wally wanted a birthday kiss from Megan.")
Both girls in question instantly turned beet red and Raquel slapped a hand over her mouth in embarrassment. Khaldur looked confused for a moment before coming over to her. "You like me?" he asked. She nodded, her face still bright red. He smiled and took her hand, sitting next to her.
Artemis, meanwhile, was still bright red and looking anywhere but at Wally, who was just as red but staring at her intently. "Artemis?" he said after a while. She refused to look at him, so he came over to her and gently turned her to face him.
"You were jealous of Megan?" he asked her, confusion in his voice. She was about to say no, when suddenly something told her to not lie. "Yes," she said finally. Wally smiled and before she could say anything more she found that her mouth was otherwise busy kissing his.
After about five minutes of this, the rest of the team left in pairs to be with their newfound boyfriends/girlfriends.
Robin took Zatanna to the hallway before grabbing her wrist and turning her around to face him. "Zatanna," he said. "Do you wanna maybe go out for pizza?" She smiled happily and nodded, and the two teens made their way to the Zeta Tubes.
The Watchtower
Jun. 10, 2011
5:48 P.M., EST
Meanwhile, the children's mentors were sitting in the Watchtower's computer center, where they had been "chaperoning" the children's game for the past two hours. "I have to go down there!" yelled Green Arrow. "No!" said Black Canary. "They're teenagers, for God's sake! By their age I was doing far worse than kissing."
"But Dina!" yelled Green Arrow. "Look at him! He's, er, touching her!" "No he's not," said Flash. "He has his hands on her waist. There is nothing wrong with that." "You would say that," spat GA. "You probably taught him." Before Flash could say something else, Batman came behind the arguing League members and hit both in the back of the head.
"Enough fighting!" he said. "They are fine. Let them be teenagers." "Says the man whose son just took my daughter to some unknown location without asking!" snapped Zatara. "Green Arrow is right. We need to go down there and put a stop to this madness!"
"It's fine!" said Black Canary. "They are teenagers. Let them make some mistakes of their own! It's how they learn." "I don't care!" yelled GA and Zatara together. "Those boys are trouble," said GA. "And with or without you guys' consent, I am going down there!"
Batman, deciding that there was no harm in letting the fathers blow off some steam, simply rolled his eyes. "Go if you have to," he said. "But just know that it might not do anything." "Artemis might not do as I ask," said GA. "But at least I can scare Wally into showing some respect."
And with that the two fathers went to knock some sense into the two teenage boys.
Sorry guys, but I've decided that from now on unless I have a really nice review, or one that is a question, I am gonna stop responding to them because I want to have most of the words be the story and not my responses from now on.
Please review and tell me what you think!
