Complicated

Young Justice HQ
October 20th 2016

It had been a week since the dinner incident, and not a single word had been uttered between Jaime and Bart, nobody on the team spoke of the awkward situation a week ago. Megan had lectured Gar on saying things like that, about how personal and rude it had been, not only did Garfield not bring it up ever again but felt completely guilty about it.

In the kitchen however Karan and Mal were arguing. Something the team had become used to it. The couple fought worse than a married couple, and things just kept getting worse.

"Karan please tell me why!" Mal begged as she pulled more food out and packed it away for yet another mission.

"Because Mal, I have to go tonight!" she snapped with a frustrated glance. Mal shrunk back in fear but didn't give up.

"You're always on a mission." He retorted.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You never talk to me anymore!" he shouted, frightening Karan a little, Mal had never screamed like that at her. "Maybe you've outgrown me…" he muttered but Karan caught that sentence none the less.

"Mal…I…" he held a hand up and stopped her right there.

"High school is over…we're growing up and I need to realize this…" he glanced at her with hurt filled eyes, "High school is over…"he repeated, "and so are we." He walked away, a shocked Karan standing in the kitchen.

Outside the kitchen sat Jaime with a textbook in his lap and Cassie watching TV right next to him.

"Are you almost done?" Jaime glanced up and shook his head.

"I still have this whole research paper to do." He muttered turning his attention back to the textbook.

"Jaime you've been acting so different lately." She whispered. "And you don't smell like peppermint anymore." Jaime tensed at the word peppermint but shook it off.

"Just because I don't smell like that doesn't mean it isn't me anymore." He mumbled, scribbling a few words on the once blank paper.

"I liked the smell though, why did you change it?" she questioned.

"It brought back…memories." He shrugged but she caught on and dropped the subject. A few minutes of silence fell on them before Bart walked in, not expecting them to be sitting there. He awkwardly glanced away and headed to the kitchen.

Cassie laughed to herself nervously, tears stinging at her eyes. She had come to a realization.

Cissie walked in and headed to the small table booth that was in the far corner of the living room, she began to pack up the books she had left lying there when she felt Cassie's eyes resting on her back. Turning sharply Cissie glanced at Cassie, "Need something?" Cassie shook her head and looked away, leaning closer to Jaime she began to whisper in his ear.

"I realized something Jaime…" said person turned to look at his girlfriend. "I...well for Halloween the whole team is going trick-or-treating together and I thought maybe…instead you and Bar-" Cassie froze when she heard Bart's voice.

"Hey Cissie, wanna go on a date tomorrow night? It's a Friday so we could go to the movies, maybe the park or dinner? It'll be crash." Bart blushed a bit as he averted his eyes from the newest blonde archer. Cassie stood up, not thinking her actions through.

"No!" both Bart and Cissie glanced at her with confused looks.

"What?" Bart laughed.

"You guys can't go out…"Cassie laughed, unsure of how to defend her case.

"Why not?" Cissie challenged.

"Because…" Cassie glanced from Bart to Jaime, back to Bart and then to Cissie. "Because he doesn't actually like you!"

"What?" both Bart and Cissie shouted.

"You can't tell me who I do and don't like!" Bart fumed.

"Well it's obvious you don't like her that way." Cassie snapped, hands on her hips.

"Cariño, leave them alone, this isn't any of your business." Jaime begged, pulling her back to sit down but she refused.

"Yeah, listen to the bug why don't you." Cissie stuck her tongue out in a childish way but Cassie huffed at that comment.

"Well Bart likes Jaime and you shouldn't get in the way of that!" Cassie growled. Cissie went wide eyed while a blush tinted both Bart and Jaime's cheeks.

"Well you're the one going out with Jaime! Don't tell me what to do!" Cissie shrieked. "Bart I'll go on a date with you tomorrow night." She threw her arms around Bart and he blushed a deeper shade of red but hugged her back. Jaime felt a bit of his heart snap but paid no mind to the hugging teens, it wasn't his place to judge who Bart dated.

Bart helped Cissie take her books up to her room and they left a fuming Cassie and an embarrassed Jaime behind.

"Are you gonna let Cissie just steal Bart like that?" she snapped crossing her arms over her chest.

"It isn't my choice!" Jaime snapped his book shut and gathered his things. "If you don't wanna date me then just say it! Don't try and set me up with somebody else." He huffed and left the room. Cassie sighed in annoyance and dropped to the couch.

"Things are getting pretty complicated…"she whispered.
