P.S.

I'm sorry for posting late. I want to try to post at least a chapter a day, but i got a fever from getting dehydrated and eating moldy pie (I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS MOLDY! PIE IS PIE! I WASN'T GOING TO INVESTIGATE IT!) So since i was sick, i kinda slept and was on the toilet all day. So sorry for that :)

Athena sat on the couch, watching Lilo and Stitch for the billionth time. As always at the end, she started crying softly, but she hid her face from Conner, who was watching it with her.

Conner knew that Athena always cried at the end of the movie. He supposed that it just really hit home, however, he never knew if they were happy tears or sad tears. He hoped they were tears of happiness.

"Athena, you okay?" he inquired softly, but she didn't hear him. "Athena?" Conner gently poked Athena on the side and her body jerked for a moment.

"That felt weird." Athena whispered, drying her tears. She poked herself in the side, and looked at herself confused. "I don't feel it anymore."

"You're ticklish." Conner informed, and Athena looked at him confused.

"Ticklish?" she questioned, and Conner smirked at her.

"I'll show you." He then started to run his fingers over her sides and stomach and she started laughing uncontrollably.

"C-conner! What… HAHAHAHAHA!" Athena was laughing hard as she tried to scooch away from Conner's hand, curling herself in a ball, but Conner still managed to get at her stomach and tickle the girl.

"Conner! Sto… HAHAHAHA!"

"What was that?" Conner questioned as he continued to tickle her.

"Sto-op!" she giggled. Conner laughed and stopped tickling her, and she gave him the best glare she could muster.

She was trying to mimic Batman's glare, but she needed more practice. It just made her look cuter than usual. Maybe she'd look more intimidating if she didn't stick her bottom lip out.

"Why'd you do that?" she questioned, continuing her glare.

"You stopped crying." He smiled, but then immediately wished he hadn't said that. He knew that she tried her hardest so people wouldn't see her cry.

Her glare melted away and she touched her check gently, checking for tears and noticing that they were dry.

"Oh…" she whispered. "You saw me crying?" Conner mutely nodded, his smile turning into a straight face.

"I'm sorry. It's just… that movie is really good, but it hits me hard. My heart just hurts when I watch it, and I just have to cry." She explained, placing a hand over her heart. "I can't explain it that well. I just… the movie makes me feel like I'm like Stitch, and I got a family instead of being killed by the people at Cadmus." She explained.

"I understand." Conner said in a gentle voice.

Athena looked up at Conner and questioned,

"Are you ticklish?" she was clearly trying to get off the subject, but Conner didn't mind.

He knew Athena was very emotional, and when she talked about her emotions he felt helpless. Conner couldn't punch emotions, and he tried his best to make her feel better, but Cadmus left a lasting mark on Athena, and that mark would most likely never go away.

He hoped that maybe Athena could talk to Black Canary about how she felt.

"No Athena. I am not ticklish." He said with a small smile, but then whispered, "But I heard that Dick's ticklish in his armpits." He informed, and Athena raised an eyebrow.

"How can you be ticklish in your armpits?" she inquired. Conner quickly started tickling Athena's armpits and she busted out in laughter.

"That's how." Conner informed as he stopped tickling her and Athena stopped laughing, and glared at him again.

"That is so strange and shouldn't be possible." she stated with a looked of unamusement, however, her face then softened, and she whispered, "If you ever see me crying at an end of a movie… can you tickle me?"

Conner nodded.

"Sure thing." His face then brightened. "Don't forget what I told you about Dick and his armpits."

"Understood." Athena giggled.

Dick wanted to punch whoever tipped Conner off to the fact that he was ticklish in his armpits.

…

It was Barbra.
