So sorry I have not updated. I really meant to work on this last week, and this whole week, but it's been hectic. I already have this written down, and most of the next chapter, just... bare with me. I'm so sorry for taking so long to write this.
And Megalyn27, sorry for not answering in the last chapter. I decided to make Liam a boy because I actually respect Cheshire and Lian. I don't really feel comfortable writing Cheshire as a bad mom, I start getting paranoid, don't know why.
Warnings: Nice chapter again, with one or two words.
A week after their meeting with the gang, Superboy and Aqualad slid out of the cave without having to worry because all the superheroes were already at the stadium, getting ready to compete. They had easily lied, saying that they didn't really feel too well, making their mentors believe them. Aquaman trusted Aqualad with his life and Black Canary believed in Superboy to never lie to her. Batman didn't want to leave them, but Robin and Flash made him leave before he could even glare. They both quickly changed into the clothes Virginia bought for them and put on their contacts.
Both of their eye colors were pretty unique, so they had to wear contacts to blend in even better. Conner's were light brown, while Kaldur's were dark brown. Kaldur was wearing a black scarf, white shirt, black jacket, and dark blue jeans with black and white converse. At the warehouse Dany would paint over his white hair.
Dany had also told them that Conner's disguise was actually kind of harder because he looked a lot like Superman. So, she said she was going to change his face a little. Yeah, nothing to worry about. He was wearing a red shirt, with dark jeans, converse, and a white jacket that sponsored some soccer team he didn't really care about.
When they arrived at the warehouse, the group was already dressed and waiting for them. Wally was wearing a blue shirt, black jacket, and jeans, and he was hugging Angelina from behind, letting her red dress be seen. Dany was wearing a jacket much like the Red Hood's, with a tight, red shirt, and grayish, black skinny jeans with a hole in her right knee. She was smiling mischievously, a spray paint can in her hand.
"Hey guys!" She greeted, walking towards both of them and eneveloping them in a hug. They both hugged her back, smiling at her energy.
"You boys ready?" Virginia asked from her spot hugging Benny on the couch.
Both adults only knew them as Aqualad and Superboy, or, for times like these, Ace and Seth. The heroes were still pretty weary witht the Siegel's, so they still didn't feel comfortable enough to tell them their real identities, even if it still wouldn't help much. They were the most recognizable out of everyone on their team.
"Yes we are, Ms. Hill." Kaldur nodded politely, getting a pout from Virginia.
"I told you not to call me that. Ms. Hill is my mother, I'm Virginia." She scolded, but she had a smile on her lips.
"I am sorry, Virginia. I will try to remember that." Kaldur told her, smirking at the older women.
"Less yapping, more make-overing!" Dany exclaimed, not really liking how Kaldur was flirting with Virginia, even though he didn't look like he knew he was. She started painting Kaldur's hair black, getting a sharp glare from Roy, who liked his hair white.
They had decided it would be easier and safer to paint Kaldur's hair with spray paint instead of the dye because it would come off with water. They all knew Jason was liable to have another psycho kick, so it was for the best to think ahead and make sure Kaldur and Conner could change and get to the cave before any of the heroes.
Kaldur coughed because of the strange fumes that came with the spray, while Conner looked on in indifference. Once Dany was done painting Kaldur's head, she smiled happily and stepped away.
"Voilá!" She exclaimed, then took her phone to show him his reflection.
Kaldur had to admit, she knew what she was doing. All of his hair was painted black where the blonde was supposed to be, and none of the paint fell onto his head.
"Whoa! Dany!" Wally whistled, speeding over and circling Kaldur. "Where'd you learn to do that?" He asked.
She smiled, while walking over to her desk, and put the can inside one of the drawers. "A magician never tells her secrets." She told them, smiling.
Wally was about to say something, but Benny stood up, giving him a warning glare. "There's no time for that, Bolt. Danny, get Super- I mean Seth- ready, we're still supposed to get there at four." He told her.
She nodded, stil smiling, took some things out of her desk, then walked up to Superboy. He eyed her wearily, but she just smiled up at him. "Hold this." She commanded, showing him a green jar.
He eyed it wearily, but still held it for her. She smiled at him, opened it, picked some of the gunk up with her fingers, then smeared it on his hair. He visibly tensed, but Dany only smiled and explained.
"It's gel, Supey. It's for me to style your hair easily like." She said, ruffling his hair.
He sighed and waited as she did whatever it was she was doing, while everybody there wondered what it was. "Done!" She exclaimed, taking a step back while smiling at her creation.
"What did she do?" Conner asked, somewhat worried. Dany wasn't the most trustworthy person in the group, especially with how mischievous she was.
Wally sped in front of him, looked him over, then said, "She only spiked it." He huffed.
Dany rolled her eyes, then pressed some sticky things to his cheek, forehead, and chin.
"What's that?" Conner asked, questioning Dany as she worked.
She smiled up at him, then showed him what looked like a scar on some kind of plasticy thing.
"It's scar latex. Jason has this for undercover work. And, scars marring your face will take away some of the Superboy look." She explained, putting a final one on his neck.
"What's their story then?" Jason asked, walking up at Kaldur and started to apply the latex.
Dany shrugged,taking the gel from Conner and walking to put it back in her drawer. "Caught in too many fights?" She asked as Jason put another one on Kaldur's neck.
He shrugged, then stepped away from Kaldur, to show a different face. Dany gasped at him, while Jason said, "That might work." Then he turned to Conner. "Ya did good, kid." He told her, smiling.
"Dude! They look so different!" Dany exclaimed, now really looking at Conner.
Conner had two 'scars'on his right cheek, one that crossed his forehead, another on his chin, two on his neck's side, and one over his eye. Kaldur had one crossing his left eye and two on his neck. But before anyone could be awed by Jason's ingenuity, Benny was pushing all of them out of the warehouse along with the rest of the teens.
When they arrived, there were guards posted at each entrance, gate door, and concession stand. Of course, the teens had to do something to get them noticed, so Deshawn and Wally decided to goof off as if they were in London. Let's just say no one will be laughing at those guards ever again.
They had a room all to themselves again, but it was a bit more crowded with three and a half more people inside. Somehow, Jason had found a way to make Deadpool a mask that kind of resembled his old self, so he could come with the group and not get arrested. The three that hadn't been here before were awed at the decorations, while Dany and Wally thumb wrestled and Angelina and Deshawn traded insults.
This time they had a different room, which had photos of the heroes, newspaper cutouts, a bar, and some more things. Wally and Dany jumped on the couch, starting to wrestle and try to throw the other off.
"Bolt, Carmen." Virginia scolded, walking into the room with Benny, "No roughoushing." She reprimanded them, even if there was a hint of a smile there.
Wally and Dany stopped, but they still endedup as a mixture of limbs on the couch. "Sorry, Mom." They chimed together, then started the task of getting separated.
It surprised Kaldur to hear this. Only three months and Wally already identified Virginia as his mother? And not to mention his name was now Bolt. What else had changed?
"Come on, Ace." Raquel spoke, grabbing his arm and moving him to sit next to her on one of the many couches.
Kaldur sat and Raquel curled up beside him, making him smile. He had grown to like the teen after he met her while she cooked. Yelling; especially at Deadpool; seemed to be her favorite thing to do, right after beating up Deadpool. She thoroughly enjoyed his company while he helped her cook, and seemed to have also grown rather fond of him.
"What do you think will happen?" She asked curiously.
He thought about it, then looked at her wide eyes with a smirk. "It will crash and burn, much like last time."
She smiled up at him, seeming to like his answer. "You think Jailbird will be the cause?" She asked, nodding her head towards Jason, who had Roy in a headlock, while Liam clapped and giggled from Virginia's lap.
Kaldur smiled at the thought, but shook his head. "We will never know what will happen before it does." He told her sagely.
She smiled up at him, but before she could say anything, Superman started talking once again about the games and what was supposed to happen. Wally and Dany got rowdy when he started talking, boo-ing at the boyscout while Jason threatened them with tying them up on an airplan and let it take off.
"Well, this time around, we have more security to make sure something like last time's accident doesn't happen again," He said, finally getting to the finish; completely oblivious to the group of kids hating on him; "But we will not be able to have Superboy or Aqualad joing us today." He said, now getting boo's from the whole stadium. "They were feeling bad, but they told us to tell you sorry for them." He lied.
Dany humphed and crossed her arms, pouting at the window. "Why must he lie?" She asked, then looked at Kaldur. "You didn't tell him to say that, did you?" She asked him.
Kaldur shook his head, but didn't say anything else because the games started and the archer's started lining up once again. Dany sighed in exasperation at the show they made, but leaned forward when some of the Bat family stepped up.
"Are they also throwing weapons?" Kaldur asked, knowing that Nightwing; at least; wasn't an archer.
Jason nodded, now having his arms crossed while Roy slightly leaned on him with Liam giggling in his lap. "Everyone here throws something." He explained, even if it didn't really help all that much.
Kaldur rolled his eyes at the answer, already having gotten used to answers like that with Roy and Wally. Both of them are worse when it comes to things like this.
"Ah, who cares, Ace?" Dany asked, with her feet on Deshawn's lap and her head on Wally's shoulder. "Alls we know is that one way or another, them jackasses are goin' ta get their asses smoked." She spoke, letting her fake Western accent show.
Everybody stared at her for a minute or two, while she just gave them a shit eating smile. Then, they all turned back to the games, where Green Arrow was nocking his arrow.
"I got my money on the Arrer." Dany said, then got her head slapped by Wally.
"Stop with the accent, or I will personally make sure you never get candy ever again." He threatened, then turned back to the games.
And they continued with the games with Dany sulking about candy and stupid big brothers.
Five reviews please.
