The Announcement
Cham shuddered at the expression on Dream Girl's face. He knew something was up when Dream Girl gave them her blessing, the way Nura's eyes lingered on Brainiac as she left the room so he decided to follow her. Good thing too, Cham prided himself, now to go tell them.
Cham landed in the lobby. Everything was similar to the way he left it, although they were laughing over his accident. He flew over to Nightwing still sitting in the cluster of girls. They giggled as he approached but Chameleon Boy took no notice. He waded through to Nightwing "I need to talk to you" he whispered in her ear "now". Nightwing looked at him puzzled, but Cham just shook his head and pointed out the door.
Nightwing excused herself and followed him out. Just as Cham planned, Brainiac saw her leave with Cham and flew after them when Cham motioned in his direction. The trio was standing in the hall when Nightwing turned to him "Cham, what on earth is this about?" she asked him curiously. Cham looked around and pulled the two closer.
"Dream Girl is planning on breaking the two of you up" Cham began. Nightwing and Brainiac exchanged glances. Cham told them everything he had heard as a fly. When he was finished the couple remained silent "I always knew she liked you" Nightwing commented to Brainiac who was deep in thought "I didn't think she'd be this…this…ruthless about it though." She turned to Brainiac who met her eyes "we're destined to get married?" he asked in amazement, happiness lighting up his face. "We're going to get MARRIED!" he shouted jubilantly pulling Nightwing in for a kiss.
Nightwing giggled and turned to Cham "I think this solves the problem" she said. "Thanks for the warning. I'll keep a look-out" she kissed Cham on the cheek. "Hey, anytime" he smiled at the couple "you two are perfect together". He flew back into the room.
Nightwing looked at Brainiac "so, I suppose we're getting married" she giggled. "Yes! I'll announce it to the rest of the legion!" he said taking her hand and leading her in.
"Attention all legionnaires" Brainiac Five said formally. Everybody quieted and turned to look at him. Cham went over and stood beside Nightwing. She glanced at him gratefully. She and Brainiac intertwined fingers "I am overjoyed to announce…" he paused and looked at Nightwing. She nodded at him eyes shining in excitement. The rest of the legion was looking at the couple in confusion and expectancy.
"I am overjoyed to announce" he began slowly "that Nightwing and I, are getting married" he finished with eyes shining. The room was filled with cheers and applause. A very drunk Lightning Lad was shouting "Kiss her, kiss her" a chant taken up by all the legionnaires.
A very red Brainiac Five turned to Nightwing. She met his gaze with a fiery excitement and wild abandon. "Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her, kiss her…" was echoing all around the room. Brainiac gave in; he pulled Nightwing in and kissed her passionately while the rest of the room cheered quite loudly.
