A/N: For some (not all most likely) chapters I'll give a chapter overview and little need to know note or warning.
CO: Robin comes in and he, Wally, and Rose have a chat about he and Wally's relationship. Pretty much filling in some of the blanks.
Chapter 2: The Talk
Robin knocked on Supergirl's door and waited after hearing a muffled "one minute" from the other side.
The door slid open after a few moments to reveal Supergirl in a Flash tank top and Batman pajama bottoms with her red domino mask over her eyes. Her normally tamed and kept chocolate brown hair was all over her head.
"Hey. Did I wake you?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck shyly.
"Uh…" she blinked behind the mask a few times before turning to walk back into her room, removing her mask as she did. "No. Not really. More like just resting my eyes. Guess I dozed off."
Robin walked into the room and the door swished shut behind him. He watched her move all her books and papers off her bed and onto her desk so that they could have room to sit on her bed. 'Guess she really was tired. She never leaves her stuff everywhere.' he thought to himself.
They both sat down on her bed, Rose leaning against the wall and Robin at the very edge. He opened his mouth to say something, but she held up her hand to stop him.
"You know the rules Dick."
Dick sighed and reached up to slide a finger under his mask, gently removing it without having the spirit glue remove any skin. He placed it down and dark blues were revealed and stared straight into baby blues.
Rose put her hand down, indicating that he could go on.
"I wanted to make sure your really okay with me and Wally." Dick said, looking at his hands. "You seemed kinda off when we told the team."
It took a few moments of total silence before Rose finally answered. "Sorry. I guess I was just taken by surprise. I really didn't see that coming." She never looked directly at Dick as she spoke.
"Really? You of all people I would have thought knew if everyone else didn't. I was actually scared that you would tell before we did." Dick replied with pure shock and disbelief on his face and in his voice.
Rose narrowed her eyes before she laughed and finally looked at Dick. "I have my moments Dick. You know that it sometimes takes a push for me to fully get something."
Dick chuckled. "Yeah, you do have some pretty random 'Wally' moments."
They both laughed at that and Dick pulled her in for a tight hug.
"I am so happy for you two, but Wally? Really?" Rose asked with a raised eyebrow.
Dick laughed again. "Yes. Wally."
"I guess I really should be more surprised that you're gay and didn't tell me. Why didn't you tell me?" she whined.
Dick sighed and pulled her into his lap. "Neither of us is really gay, more like–bi. It was a split second decision Ro."
"No, it couldn't have been. The 'incident' was 18 months ago, which means that the two of you have been together for a little over a year. That gave you ample time to tell me." her tone screamed aggravation, causing Dick to sigh for the umpteenth time that night.
"Do you remember the mission that you had with Superman in Metropolis with Bizzaro and Toy Man last April?"
"Yeah. I don't think I would forget almost dying like three times." Rose replied, getting into a more comfortable position in Dick's lap where, using her flexibility to her advantage, her back was on the wall with his, but her lower half was still on top of his. She certainly didn't miss the anger that flared in his eyes at her comment as she moved, but it was gone so fast that she would have thought she was seeing things if she didn't know Dick as well as she did. She knew the boys were as protective of her as she was of them, so she didn't bring up her countless near death experiences.
He put a hand on her thigh and continued. "Well, Walls and I got bored and decided to play video games. We were on his bed, fighting over the player one controller, he pushed me off the bed, I grabbed him and we both fell with him on top of me; next thing I know we are making out on the floor. That turned into us groping and that led to-"
"YOU AND WALLY HAD SEX ALMOST A YEAR AGO AND I'M JUST HEARING ABOUT IT NOW?!" she all but screamed.
Dick threw his hands over her mouth, shushing her, looking to the door.
"Shut up, Rose! Everybody's asleep. It's like 12 o'clock ya know." he hissed, looking around the room like there was a camera or microphone blasting their conversation throughout the mountain.
Rose took a deep breath and nodded.
Dick cautiously removed his hands when he was sure that she wouldn't yell again.
"Geez, Roy took it better than you did, but that might be because he already knew." he said to himself, not realizing that he said it out loud until it was too late.
"WHAT?! ROY KN - "
This time it wasn't Dick's long, cold fingers that covered her mouth. It was a pair of bigger, warmer hands.
"Rose, promise me that you won't scream again?"
Wally.
Rose tried to speak through his hands, but it came out muffled and incoherent. Wally moved to sit on the opposite side of Dick, with his hands still over her mouth. She narrowed her eyes at him and licked his hand. He shivered and removed it, only to cup them on her cheeks, just in case she made any sound above the voice he had previously been using.
"I will not scream again as long as you two tell me the whole story and don't leave any details out." She glared back and forth from Dick to Wally. "And you know that I would be able to tell if you were lying to me."
Wally removed his hands from her face completely and instead moved them down to her lower half, which was still on Dick's, to her feet and massaged them, adding a gentle vibration to enhance the feeling. Rose moaned softly, content with the treatment and Dick spoke.
"We didn't even tell Roy because he kinda already knew. He wouldn't let us leave his apartment until we confirmed his suspicions though." He ran a hand through his dark locks. "I was gonna lie, but Kid Mouth here told him everything."
"Hey! I knew we could trust him. And he already suspected anyway. He was gonna find out the truth eventually." Wally defended.
Rolling his eyes, Dick continued. "Anyway… we told Roy and he told us how he knew it would happen eventually and somehow we kinda ended up having a…"
"Having a…?" Rose urged, bringing her face closer to his.
"A threesome." Wally finished.
Dick closed his eyes tight and Wally looked ready to cover Rose's mouth again in case she tried screaming bloody murder like the last two times, alerting the whole team to her new discovery.
After a few moments of silence, Dick looked up to see Rose with the same expression on her face that she had earlier that evening. Wally lower his hands, seeing her too shocked to make any kind of sound come from her body.
The two could only imagine what was going through her mind.
"Angel?" Dick finally asked, his voice shaking with worry.
"Ro say something." Wally urged. "Anything."
She blinked a few times and her expression turned to one of, what a normal (nonBat) person would call, a cross between a try at acceptance , confusion, and slight curiosity. "Was it any good?"
Being trained by Batman made it so that Dick could read people's facial expression very well and be able to tell if they were lying or not, and knowing Rose for as long as he did made it so that he could see through any façade she tried to pull. He had been doing it for years. Same thing vise versa. He assumed that she was just piecing everything together in her head and working her way into total acceptance, so he didn't call her out on how unstable her smile was.
Wally, being a normal (nonBat) person and oblivious as always, didn't hesitate to answer the question. "A cross between sexy, hot, and amazing." He winked at Dick who blushed.
Rose laughed at his words. "Anything worth sharing?" she asked, for either boy to answer, out of genuine curiosity.
"Well," Dick began, rubbing her thigh. "I was in the middle, the girl if you will." His cheeks turned a light shade of pink when Wally gave his thigh a tight, seductive squeeze and another equally flirtatious wink; Rose giggled at their behavior.
"Can I just say that this boy knows how to move? And the sounds that comes past those luscious lips of his…" Wally couldn't help the moan that he emitted which caused Rose to giggle again and Dick to blush so hard that he resembled a ripe tomato.
"It was rough and hot and oh so satisfying. Who knew that redheads were such animals?" Dick added, giving Rose a knowing smirk and she nodded.
'Lucky you.' she thought to herself. A thought then crossed her mind that she just had to know the answer to.
"Do Barry and Bruce know about you guys' relationship?"
Both boys looked at her in question at first, taken aback by the question. After a few moments of silent reflection Dick was again the first to answer.
"Yeah. They apparently knew before we did." he laughed.
"Even your dad knew." Wally added, laughing alongside Dick.
Rose looked at both of them in complete and utter shock. 'Dad knew and he didn't tell me?'
"Does anyone else in the League know?"
Wally was the one to answer this time. "We told BC a few weeks after we got together because we weren't really sure of what to do about what we had. We were kinda freaked out and she helped us through it."
"Both her and Diana. We needed feminine advice because Bruce and Barry didn't really know what to tell us, so they really helped us. We would have come to you, but you don't know a lot about relationships, so we couldn't exactly come to you" Dick added. "But those are the only Leaguers who we know that know. Though BC probably told Ollie."
"Or Roy." Wally finished.
"Hmm…" was Rose's only response to that. She had a thoughtful expression on her face, so neither boy could really tell how she felt about this new information introduced to her.
She seemed to finally come out of her thoughts after several minutes, and leaned forward to hug both boys; after they got over the shock of the impromptu hug, they both returned her hug just as eagerly. "If anyone (Artemis) gives you guys any bullshit, tell me so I can kick her- I mean their ass. You two make quite the couple, by the way." she said as they parted.
Dick chuckled and nodded.
"Sure thing SG." Wally also chuckled.
"Now get out of here. I saw those glances you two were giving each other. You probably want some 'couple time' to start off your weekends." She pushed the boys off her bed and towards the door. "And make sure to keep it down. I am half kryptonian, which means that whenever my powers aren't friezing out on me, I have super hearing. I don't really want to hear any of your sexy talk, or any other noises."
Both boys blushed at her words. Dick was about to say something, but Wally picked him up and sped them away with a 'night SG' before he could.
"Night guys. Nice talk." she said to the now empty space in front of the door, which was closing shut after the boys' departure.
She sighed and lay back down on her bed, with her pillow to her chest like a big teddy bear. She knows that they are happy together, and that she should be happy for them; in a way she is. But for some reason, it doesn't feel genuine. She isn't truly happy for them.
She felt hot tears trickle down her face; her throat closed up, and a sob broke past her lips.
She loved both Dick and Wally so much, and to know that they chose to be together is a wonderful thought, but it made her so sad. And she didn't know why.
It wasn't just the fact that she didn't know, but the fact that everybody else seemed to have figured it out before her. Even Conner knew, and he didn't usually put things like that together very fast. He didn't even know that Miss M had a crush on him until she kissed him or he kissed her. Until they kissed either way.
When everybody said how they knew or suspected something more between the boys, it made her feel like a horrible friend. She has known both of them since they were kids. She has spent so much time with them. She knows all of their secrets and they know all of hers. . . Most of them anyway. She should have put it all together on her own. She was so shocked just to find out that they were together. She truly didn't see it coming. She knew she had 'Wally' moments, but she was their best friend. She should have been the first to see it, yet she was the last.
The glances, the double meaning jokes, the closeness, EVERYTHING. They were so obvious. It all just seemed so…normal.
So Dick and Wally.
They always joked around like that and sat so close, but now that she thought about it they had practically been sitting on top of each other during their gaming sessions. Or during their play fights, their touches seemed a little more than just playful bro wrestling. But she didn't think anything of it.
She felt like such an idiot. She saw the changes, but because it didn't even seem that much out of the ordinary, she never thought about what it might mean.
She wiped her eyes, only to have a fresh batch stream down her face.
"Why the hell am I crying?" she asked herself out loud. "Why the hell couldn't I have been the first to know?"
She was frustrated and sad and… angry. That's why she was crying.
She was angry. Pissed. Not only at herself, but also at Dick and Wally.
She should have been the first they told. She was supposed to be their best friend. Her.
Not Roy or anyone on the team. Her.
She protected them and cared for them more than anyone.
When Dick had nightmares about his parents' deaths, she was the one he went to. Whether to talk or cry, it was her. Not Bruce. Her.
Whenever Wally got shot down by a girl or he and his parents weren't seeing eye to eye, she was the one he went to. Whether to talk or hang out, it was her.
Roy and the team weren't there for the nightmares and the fights and the break ups. SHE was.
Yet she was the last to know about this. But why? Not because she didn't see it, but because neither Dick nor Wally felt the need to tell her. They didn't want to.
The team knew. Bruce knew. Barry knew. Even her own father knew. And all before her. Most figured it out on their own, others were told. And the thing that pissed her off even more was the fact that it had been going on for almost a year and a half and people knew, yet NOBODY told her.
If her father knew, he should have said something about the changes he saw in the boys' behavior. He did about everybody else. Always talking about how someone in the JL has changed or is doing something or how someone in the JL had hooked up. He says it to her mom mostly, but she does eavesdrop in order to keep up. Like father like daughter. She knows that Dick does it when she isn't there to do it on Batman.
Maybe he couldn't tell her.
Maybe Dick and Wally wanted her to know last.
But, why?
Did they not trust her anymore?
Did they get so absorbed in their new relationship that they didn't want her to know much about them anymore?
Did their friendship take some kind of turn that made them not want to tell her things anymore?
They couldn't think she didn't approve of or accept their relationship, did they? She wasn't that kind of person. They knew that, right? Something like that would push them away from her forever.
She didn't know what she would do without them. They are everything to her. She had been with them for so long that she didn't know how to even go about her day without at seeing or at least talking to one of them. She went crazy if she didn't.
She would go talk to them and ask them what's going on. They would listen and talk through it.
She got off her bed and went into her bathroom and looks in the mirror. She had tear trails going down both sides of her face.
"Ugh."
She turned on the hot water and rinsed her face off until all of the tears and crud were off her face. She dried her face off and looked more presentable than she did five minutes ago. She then picked up her glasses and walked to Wally's room, since his was closer to hers than Dick's. When she got there, she knocked three times.
"Hey Wally?"
No answer.
She typed in his lock number and the door gives off a 'beep' before it opened with a swish.
"Hey Wally. I'm coming in, you better be decent." she said cautiously for the redhead was very unpredictable behind closed doors.
No one was in the room.
"Must be in Dick's room." she murmured as she came out of the bathroom and exited the room altogether, heading for Dick's. As she approached the door, she noticed that it was slightly cracked.
'That's not like Dick. Wally must have accidentally left it open when he came in.' she thought to herself as she slowly walked over to peak into the room.
What she saw made her freeze on the spot in shock.
A/N: I noticed as I was typing and reading this chapter that Rose is a worry wart. I feel like someone in the superhero community has to be worried, or everyone will be all "we'll be fine" and then end up dead. As always I would love any kind of reviews. They keep me going. Thank you to all of those who have view and I hope you like it so far.
Chapter 3 coming soon!
