Wally stirred as he curled his arm around his pillow, pulling it towards himself as his leg slipped underneath it. He cracked his eyes open as the pillow groaned and pushed into him. He saw blonde hair and light skin curled up around him and his bed. He realized it was Crystal as she groaned again and pulled back slightly, cracking her eyes open to look up at him.
"Morning," She mumbled, wiping at her eyes tiredly.
Wally smirked as he leaned forward and kissed her nose, cheeks, eyes, and then lips, pulling her in sweetly for a deeper kiss. She sighed happily as she rolled over on top of him, her arms moving around his neck and her fingers tangling in his bed head hair.
"Time for school you two!" Wally's mom said opening the door.
She stopped and looked at the two as Crystal was only in Wally's shirt again and was now on top of him. She smiled at them and gave a small laugh, before turning and walking out of the room.
"You're mom scares me sometimes." Crystal said with a smile, looking down at him once again.
She leaned down and gave him a quick kiss on his lips before rolling off of him and hopping off the bed. She went into his dresser and grabbed out some underwear and bra, and then headed towards the bathroom.
"I'm taking a shower first." She told him before shutting the door, the water spouting quickly.
Wally groaned as he slowly crawled out of bed and laid his uniform out along with Crystal's on the bed. His heart beat rapidly from the touch of Crystal and how close she was to him. He couldn't believe he had Crystal for himself now; he never would have seen them actually getting together.
After awhile she came out of the bathroom in a towel and smiled, nodding her head to him. "You're turn."
He chuckled, pulling her close to him as his chest pushed against her back; skin against skin. "You telling me I stink?" He joked, nipping at her bare neck.
"Yes, you smell like sweat." She laughed, rocking against him.
He grumbled against her, feeling her pushing him slightly towards the bathroom. "I'm going, I'm going."
Crystal laughed as she watched him walk into the bathroom and take a warm shower just as she did. She slipped on her uniform slowly, taking time to do up her buttons and slide on her skirt slowly. The bottom brushing against her thighs as she moved it around with her movement.
"You know that is very tempting," Wally said, making her look back and see him standing in the doorway watching her.
"How long have you been watching?" She laughed, grabbing her button for her skirt.
He walked forward, grabbing the edge of her skirt beneath his fingers. "Just a minute."
Crystal turned around as she snapped the button and smiled at him, then blushed as she noticed he was wearing a pair of pants that weren't buttoned up or zipped and hung loosely on his hips, showing his boxers beneath.
"Y-y-y-you should get d-dressed." She stuttered out, turning back around and trying to calm her racing heart that threatened to beat out of her chest.
She tried to redirect her mind from Wally and the sight she saw, but as she grabbed her jacket to the uniform and walked out of the room, her mind kept going back to the sight, watching the water drip down his toned muscles, his hair shaggy and wet, his eyes shining, and his muscles rippling beneath the movement of his body.
"Hey wait up!" Wally said as he caught up with her outside of the house. "Why were you leaving without me?"
"I wasn't leaving, just getting some fresh air," She said with a smile.
She grabbed his hand and linked her fingers with his as they walked towards the motorcycle that sat in the driveway. Wally slid a helmet on and sat on the motorcycle, holding out a helmet for Crystal. She took it and hopped on behind him, hooking her fingers into his belt loops as the motorcycle purred beneath them.
Her mind flashed back to the shower moment and her heart sped up, making her chest ache for him. She could swear that he could feel it through his back it was beating so hard. She felt him place a hand over hers gently, letting his fingers curl into hers warmly. The bike stopped in front of the school as Wally kicked the stand down and propped his bike in the student parking lot.
The bell sounded over head, making the two jump off the bike as a break neck pace and run into the school before the teacher noticed them missing. They made it into the classroom and into their seats a minute before the teacher walked in.
They looked at one another and laughed quietly, realizing how close they came to being late. After a couple of hours of sitting in the classrooms listening to the teachers the lunch bell finally rang.
"Finally! Lunch time!" Wally said excitedly, pulling out his lunch from his backpack.
Crystal looked around her backpack and groaned as she smacked her forehead. "Crap, I forgot mine!"
Wally smiled as he looked up at her and held up her lunchbox from his backpack also. "I saw it on the counter."
Crystal smiled widely as she grabbed the lunch box and kissed his cheek, making a faint pink blush go across his cheeks.
"Get a room!" Robin joked bumping into Wally lightly.
"She's coming with us!" Artemis said grabbing Crystal quickly and dragging her out of the room by the collar of her shirt.
Crystal had a dumb founded look on her face as she watched the guys watch them with confused expressions. Megan smiled and waved at them, bouncing down the hallway after Crystal and Artemis.
"What was that about?" Superboy asked.
"Do we even want to know?" Kaldur asked shaking his head.
"So what's going on?" Crystal asked as they stopped on the roof and sat down.
"Canary told me that we're going to be picked up from school after lunch sometime." Megan said, chewing on a piece of a carrot.
"Did you ever find out what for?" Artemis asked her, chewing on her own lunch as she sat back against the wall.
Megan shook her head. "No,"
"Maybe it's a new mission," Crystal said with a smile, her nerves buzzing in excitement. Then she stopped and looked at Megan. "Why did it matter if the guys were with us or not?"
"Because it's just us girls getting checked out." Artemis answered for Megan. "Besides, I'm the only one not in a relationship and I don't want to see you two being all lovey-dovey."
"Why not get with Roy?" Megan said with a smirk. "You two are both archers."
Artemis' jaw dropped in amazement as she looked at Megan as if she had two heads growing. Crystal began to laugh, making the archer blush and narrow her eyes. "That's not reason enough!"
"I think you two look cute with one another." Crystal said. "Besides it seems like you two have become quite the friends recently." She wiggled her eyebrows making Artemis blush again. "You liiiiiiiiiiiike him."
Artemis gasped jokingly as she lunged at Crystal and pushed her to the rooftop floor, making the both of them roll around playfully. They stopped as the door opened up to the roof.
"This is a sight." Wally said as he stared at the two of them with the other guys who stood on the roof.
Artemis had Crystal pinned, with one of her legs between Crystal's own and her hand on her shoulder under Crystal's jacket that had somehow came undone and opened. Crystal's skirt had slid up on her thigh a bit, and her shirt buttons on the bottom and top came undone, showing a little of her cleavage and her stomach.
"What were you two doing?" Kaldur asked, trying to look away from the skin showing on Crystal.
"Though we would love to see more," Robin said smirking. "The bell is about to ring and we thought we'd see how you guys are doing."
Artemis shuffled off of Crystal and helped her right herself just as the bell rang for classes to begin once more.
"Having fun without me?" Wally asked Crystal, grabbing her hand as she walked by.
Crystal smiled shyly as she kissed his lips quickly and tugged him along with her. "Jealous?" She asked with a playful smile.
Wally stopped her, pulling her close to him and then against the wall. He watched her intensely as one of his arms went around her waist to help him push his body against hers. "Maybe I just want to be as close as she was to you."
He leaned down and took her lips, feeling her soft lips move against his in response and her breath run over him warmly. He could feel her heartbeat through her chest, just as he had on the motorcycle; he liked the way he could tell how she felt, how he made her feel.
"Are you two coming?" Robin shouted up the stairway.
They pulled apart quickly, their breathing heavy and haphazard. They controlled their breathing quickly as they raced down the stairway.
"I see you have no need for jealousy now," Robin laughed as Crystal ran forward towards the girls as Wally walked next to Robin, Connor and Kaldur.
"What are you talking about?" Wally said nonchalantly, looking away from them as they tried to get him to spill.
"Take your seats." The teacher said as they entered the room and everyone was still talking to one another. "Now let's begin our lesson." He said once everyone sat down.
The door opened up then as Roy walked through in a t-shirt and jeans, looking at the teacher with a smirk.
"You again," The teacher said with a huff.
"I'm taking them away again." Roy said with a mock salute.
Megan, Artemis, and Crystal stood up as they all looked at one another.
"I thought you said it was Canary," Crystal whispered under her breath.
Wally looked at Roy in confusion then at the girls as he heard what Crystal said.
"Are we not going with them?" Robin asked quietly from behind Wally.
"I guess not," He said with a narrowed look.
"Hey beautiful," Roy said looking at Crystal.
She pinched his arm as it came towards her, making him wince in pain and pull his arm away from her. "Don't make me sic Artemis on you." She told him warningly.
He held his hands up before nodding at the teacher and escorting the girls out of the room quickly.
"What is this all about?" Crystal asked, walking next to Roy.
"We have to get you girls ready," He told them with a smirk.
"For what?" Megan asked confused.
"The ball," He said simply, opening the car door for them.
The girls were left in confusion as Roy took the driver's seat and drove off without explaining another word to them. The boys were left waiting in the classroom with wonder, confusion, and slight irritation as to being left behind and what Roy was doing with the girls.
The second school was over the guys raced over to the headquarters, only to be welcomed by the league with smiles on their faces.
"What's this all about?" Robin asked, looking at Batman.
"You need to get ready." He told them simply. "There is a hero ball being put on in about an hour."
"A ball?" Kaldur asked with a raised eyebrow.
"The girls are getting ready still," Canary said with a smile as she walked out from the back in a long black dress that flowed around her feet and had two straps holding up the v-neck.
Green Arrow, Roy, and Batman escorted them towards the back of the headquarters where they were going to get ready, showing them the many suits they had back there for the league and the young justice team.
Wally kept his eye on Roy, wanting to ask if he did anything to them, but couldn't open his mouth to say anything; he didn't want to sound jealous.
Roy sighed as he threw his shirt off and at Wally. "Stop worrying, I didn't do anything to your girlfriend."
"I'm not worried," Wally argued, throwing Roy's shirt back at him.
"Your face says otherwise." Roy laughed. "you're girlfriend wouldn't even let me stand close to her."
Wally let out a relieved sigh under his breath as he changed into the suit he picked out, no longer worried about what had happened.
The boys stood outside in the main entrance of headquarters. The boys all wore black tuxedo's with ties that matched their uniform colors. Connor, Robin, and Roy had red ties; Kaldur had a light blue one; and Wally had an orange and yellow one. Robin, Wally, and Roy had masks on, keeping their identities secret.
The league stepped out all dressed in tuxedo's and dresses. Each one watching the others with a smile.
"The girl's are coming right out." Canary said with a nod of her head.
Artemis walked out in a long dark green dress that had a slit on the right side leading up to her thigh with straps connecting from the middle to around her neck, a mask set gently on her face. She had black high-heeled shoes on that strapped around her feet and her hair was down and straight. Megan walked out next with a light pink dress that was styled in a mermaid fashion with a sleeve over one shoulder. She had pink wedges on and her hair was straight and pinned slightly around the back of her head, letting some loose strands fall on her neck. Zantanna came out in a medium length dress that was black and sparkly and ruffled out in the front around her knees and lengthened with the ruffles down to her ankles in the back. She had black stiletto heels on that strapped around her feet, and her hair was slightly waved and down her back. Finally Crystal walked out in a short light blue dress; strings connected in the middle of the top and tied around her neck as the back swooped down to just above her butt, leaving her back open and exposed, the dress ruffled at the end and ended mid-thigh on her. She wore light blue shoes that tied around her legs and up her calves with ribbons, criss-crossing around her legs; from her wrists to her elbows were criss-crossed and wrapped with light blue ribbons also; and her hair was curling in giant ringlets that bounced on her back as she walked.
The guys all but dropped their jaws as they looked at the girls flounce over to them gracefully. Zatanna went to Robin as linked her arm through his, giving him a smile as she did so. Megan bounced over to Connor and kissed his cheek as she grabbed his arm also. Crystal grabbed Artemis' arm and dragged her along towards the guys, before pushing her towards Roy as she stumbled into his arms with a blush on her face. Crystal smiled at them and flounced over to Wally, hanging onto his arm with a bigger smile playing on her face.
"Are we all ready?" Canary asked looking around at everyone.
Everyone nodded, sure that they were ready to head out towards wherever the ball was being held at. When they exited the headquarters limos were waiting outside for them. They entered and let the limos take them towards a giant building that stretched into the sky and was wide enough to fit everyone in there.
When they stepped inside, the interior was decorated just as a ball would, with lights, ribbons, balloons, and much more. There were tables of food and drinks, and the music was already playing through the speakers as they walked in.
"So pretty," Crystal said under her breath as she looked around at it all.
"Superheroes like to party. Who would have thought?" Wally said with a laugh.
"Young Justice!" A group of superheroes waved.
There were so many superheroes in here that the young justice didn't know what to do or think. Some they had never even heard of, others they never met.
"Go enjoy yourselves!" Superman said, pushing the young justice forward towards the dance floor.
"May I have this dance?" Barry said walking up to Crystal and holding his hand out to her.
"Why not? As long as you don't go too fast." She joked, taking his hand lightly.
The music started at a fast pace, much to Barry's pleasure as he spun, moved, twisted, and turned her around with him, making her dizzy from the fast movement, but laugh at the adrenaline coursing through her from said dance. Wally couldn't keep his eyes off of her as her hair moved around in the air, leaving her exposed back open to the sight of everyone. Her skin gleamed with light as she spun with Barry, making his heart skip a beat as he wanted to be the one touching her lower back in the dance.
Bruce walked up and took her as she was spinning away from Barry, and continued the dance with her, mixing it up to see how much she could do. She followed his movements with what she saw fit and surprised herself at how well she could dance with someone. Wally was surprised to see her moving like that. Bruce seemed to know how to bring out the best of her abilities as her legs, back, and shoulders moved their muscles, showing how toned she was. Her chest moved slightly in the dress, the movements being too fast for them to keep still. And the bottom of her dress flowed out around her like water as she spun and twirled around Bruce effortlessly. His eyes couldn't leave her as her every movement begged him to come to her and touch her.
The music stopped and her muscles ached to sit down already as her breathing was hard. She waved at Bruce and Barry who found other partners, and she walked over to take a seat.
"You want to sit here?" Wally asked catching her attention as he gestured to his lap.
She smiled and sat sideways on his lap, looping her arms around his neck as she kept herself close to him. "Careful, you'll tempt me."
"Ugh, get a room you two." Roy groaned, making disgusted faces at the couple.
"Why don't you find yourself a girl then?" Wally said, not looking away from Crystal as he smiled with mischievousness.
"Yeah? Someone who I'll have to hide secrets from because of my job?" He said sarcastically.
"Why not date a superhero then?" Crystal asked, turning her head and looking at him seriously.
"Like who?" Roy asked crossing his arms.
"Artemis." Crystal said with a smirk, turning her eyes to the girl over at the drinks table, picking up a soda and talking with Megan. "What you scared that you won't be able to handle her?"
"I'm not scared of her!" Roy argued, looking at Crystal with disbelief.
"Then go dance with her! Ask her to dance with you!" Crystal laughed, reaching over and grabbing his wrist and slinging him past them forcefully. "Go!"
Roy looked back at the couple before walking over to Artemis and Megan hesitantly. He talked to her and asked her something, and by the look of Megan jumping up and down and floating in the air, he had done just as Crystal said he should.
"You seem to be planning something." Wally said, kissing her cheek and pulling her close.
"Just trying to get those two together." Crystal told him, sliding off of his lap and pulling him with her.
"Where are we going?" He asked her, worried she was going to make him dance.
"To the food table, I'm hungry." She laughed. She squealed as he all but dragged her towards the table in excitement for the food he was going to eat.
They grab some food and headed out to the balcony that sat over the sitting in the air, with the cool breeze of the afternoon running cautiously over it.
"You know, I'm glad I'm not afraid of heights." Crystal said, sitting on the edge of the balcony and looking down at the lights of the cars passing by.
Wally stepped forward and placed his arms on either side of her. "You're making me uneasy sitting up there."
Crystal looked down at him and laughed as she pulled his chin towards her, licking the icing off of the corner of his mouth where some of the cake got stuck. When she pulled back she froze, her heart skipping a beat before thundering inside of her as his eyes pierced into her with their striking emerald green. Her hands moved automatically towards his mask, slipping if off his face so his eyes gave the full effect on her heart as the corner of his mouth perked up.
"Wanted to see me better?" He asked her with a smirk.
"Yes," She breathed, dipping her head down and kissing his lips.
She didn't know what overcame her just then; she had never felt so desperate to have him close to her. Maybe it was the adrenaline of the night. Maybe it was their relationship growing. Or maybe it was just how the lights caught his eyes. But right then all she knew was that her mind shut off and her body wanted him closer.
It didn't take him long to react as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. He slid her off the balcony railing and walked backwards, and then turned, pushing her into the wall just outside the door and out of sight from everyone else. His hand slid over her back, feeling the soft, smooth skin there; his fingers moving down her spin and dipping into the small of her back as she let out and airy moan from his touch.
He pushed his leg between hers and into the wall, their bodies pushed against one another until there wasn't even air between the two. He couldn't get enough of her as he delved his tongue into her mouth, brushing against her tongue and massaging it forcefully.
Her fingers desperately gripped his shirt as her heart pounded through her chest and her body quaked in pleasure at his touch. Her hands opened his tuxedo and pushed it passed his shoulders, letting it fall to his elbows. His other hand climbed up her leg and lifted her dress to her hip, feeling her muscles move under his touch excitedly.
Silence filled behind them before murmurs and whispers filled the room. A zap of electricity hit Crystal as she gasped and pulled away from Wally, looking around in confusion at the feeling she vaguely felt was familiar. Her mind cleared the fog as she calmed her breathing down and her heart thumped inside of her chest uncontrollably.
"What is it?" He asked her, cupping her cheek as she looked at him in confusion.
That was when they heard the loud murmurs next to the doorway, they were talking about some new arrival, but they weren't sure to feel happy or confused about it.
"What's going on?" She asked him as he looked through the doorway.
"I don't know," He told her truthfully as he fixed his tuxedo jacket and grabbed her hand.
They walked through the door and pushed past the heroes looking on with anticipation, not sure who the new arrival was, but wasn't quite sure what to do about it. Crystal stopped and gasped, looking at the person whom Canary, Green Arrow, Batman, Flash, and Superman were now surrounding in protectiveness.
"Do you see that person?" Artemis asked, walking up hand in hand with Roy.
Megan jogged up quickly with Connor and Kaldur as they tried to get a look at the new arrival.
Crystal let go of Wally's hand trying to get a better look at who she thought it was.
"Doesn't seem like a threat." Robin said walking up with Zatanna.
Again as the league moved around one another Crystal got a flash of the new arrival. She couldn't believe it. Her heart stopped as her mind tried to regain itself from the shock. Whatever she was seeing it had to be a trick, it couldn't possibly be who she thought it was.
The electrical shock went through her again as she looked down at her necklace and saw it glowing. When she looked back up Barry was walking towards her with a worried glance, arms out as if trying to stop her.
"It's her," Crystal said once Barry got close.
"Who?" Kaldur asked looking over at Crystal who had wide eyes.
She ignored him as she stepped towards Barry. "It's really her isn't it?"
The heroes in the room were now looking at Crystal in confusion as to what she was talking about. Some of them figure out quickly the connection between the two, but others still couldn't figure it out.
"Crystal, we think you should stay here." Barry tried to tell her gently.
"What do you mean?" Crystal asked.
"Let me go!" The new arrival screamed, trying to get away from the league as they grabbed her forcefully.
"What are they doing?" Crystal asked, her heart racing now as anger flared in her veins.
"We don't know if she's on our side. She may be targeting you." He tried to explain to her.
"Stop!" The arrival screamed again.
Crystal clenched her fists as she tried to race past Barry, but he quickly grabbed her. Her heels had slowed her reaction time down as she struggled in Barry's arms, trying to get to the person she recognized from so long ago.
"Barry! Let me go!" She yelled at him, watching as the young justice stared in confusion at the two fighting one another.
Crystal slammed her head back into his nose, and landed on the floor as he grunted and grabbed his face, his nose swelling from the hit. She kicked off her heels the same moment she took off running.
"Shit," Barry grunted trying to race after her quickly.
But by the time he noticed she took off and he went after her, she was already at the league. She pushed past the circle of them and stood in front of the new arrival.
"Don't touch her!" Crystal yelled at them, power bursting out of her and sliding the league back away from her and the new arrival.
The Young Justice gasped in shock as they took a look at the new arrival. It was Crystal. But this one had shorter cropped hair above her shoulders, darker hair, and had less curves than Crystal did. They couldn't believe their eyes as they looked at the two clones.
"Another Cadmus clone?" Artemis asked, looking at Connor and Roy before looking back at Crystal.
"Crystal, you don't have a say in this right now." Bruce told her sternly.
"Like hell I don't!" Crystal growled, pushing the clone behind her protectively.
"We need to take her away and make sure she won't hurt us." Canary tried to reason.
"If she was a threat I would have felt it by now from her." Crystal said angrily.
"Give her to us." Bruce said angrily, his tone piercing her with it's icyness.
"I won't let you touch my sister!" Crystal growled, pushing them farther away from her with her power.
"Crystal," The girl said behind her.
"Sierra, listen. I need you to stay near me okay?" Crystal told her, shocking the heroes in the room.
They watch the two sisters as they stood by one another and faced off the league sternly.
"She may be your twin sister, but you don't know if she's good." Canary tried desperately to reason with Crystal.
"I won't let you touch her," Crystal told them just as sternly. "I won't let her be taken from me again."
Wally stared in shock at Crystal as he watched her protectively watched over her sister and face off the league with no wavering. He couldn't believe it; the sister Crystal thought was dead was standing right there in front of all of them.
