So…this isn't the M Scene.
But that scene will be coming soon.
YOU GUY'S THERE'S ONLY TWENTY FIVE MORE DAYS UNTIL X-MAS!
I'm so happy : )
Anyways…Enjoy and PLEASE REVIEW?!
JASON: Seventeen.
EVENT: Heading to Central.
"Careful." Conner mumbles softly before gripping Robin's hand tightly.
"Relax, I'm fine." the ebony chuckles before spreading his free hand to his side in order to keep his balance.
"There's ice ahead." the clone states as he walks beside Dick.
The ebony had hopped up onto the narrow strip of square structure that held multiple snow covered trees.
The red and brown bricks were glossy with ice and the very thought of Dick slipping made Conner nervous.
"I'm fine." Dick mumbles softly and gently pulls his hand away from Conner's.
"You're quiet."
"I'm fine." Dick states half heartedly, his arms still spread wide as he steps forward.
Every single step he takes is with a pointed toe…almost like a ballerina, Conner notices and smiles slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." the ebony states before sighing and reaching over to grab Conner's hand.
The clone stops walking and looks up at the smaller hero with a worried frown.
"What's wrong?" he repeats softly.
"Isn't this at least somewhat weird to you? We're over twenty years in the future! We're married and we have a son…yet we can't remember any of it."
"Are you upset with the events? Is this future not satisfying?" Conner asks.
Dick stares at Conner for a second before closing his eyes and sighing.
How had he done this? How had he…fallen in love with a boy who could barely show his feelings?
Dick's idea of a perfect spouse…was someone who would protect him as well as need protecting. Someone who would tell him that they loved him and would always care about him.
So…what happened? Why did his future self marry a clone who barely understood his own feelings let alone…return someone else's
Yes, Dick had a crush on Conner. But it was just that; a crush! A physical attraction! They had nothing in common, Conner could barely stand Dick's hyperactive mood, and Conner's silence aggravated Dick to no end.
If anything, the ebony had imagined himself and Wally to have fling…not himself and Superboy.
And it wasn't a fling! It was marriage. It was…an actual relationship.
"This…outcome…it isn't what I imagined."
"You aren't happy."
"I'm confused."
"What are you current feelings towards me?"
"Honestly? I don't know. Superboy before today, I hadn't spoken a whole sentence to you! It confuses me to think that in a few months we'd be…best friends, on our way to being boyfriends! What happened?!"
"It's our mission to figure that out."
"Mission? Is that all it is to you?"
"What is it supposed to be?"
"Jason said this happened because we were drifting away from each other…I think I know why that was." With that, Dick hops off the bricks and walks away.
"Dick…" Conner mumbles before gripping the other boy's arm.
"What?" he growls before glaring.
"Why aren't I what you imagined?"
"…you…Conner you have to learn how to show emotion." Dick mumbles.
"Show me."
"This isn't something you can learn."
"You can learn anything. Language, movement…emotion. Please?"
"When's the last time you smiled?" Dick whispers in defeat.
"…today."
Dick frowns in confusion before blushing as the memory of their heated scene in the living room.
"Before that?"
"…never…not really.
"we'll have to work on that." Dick chuckles nervously.
Conner watches as Dick's face blooms with color and feels his lip pull up into a small grin.
"Dick?"
"Hm?" the ebony answers before pulling Conner towards the clear plot of land by a large tree.
"Is snow normal in Gotham?"
Dick turns to find Conner staring at the white covered trees and grass.
"Yeah…why?"
"I've never seen snow…not in real life anyway."
"Come on." Dick lets out a soft laugh before running towards the large pile of snow under a tree branch. "I think it's time you learned the art of snowball fights."
… … … … … …
"It's weird to see your parents so young." Charlie mumbles as he looks out of Jason's window.
"What are they doing?" Jason asks from his closet.
"…I'm not sure."
"What do you mean you're not sure?" Jason asks as he walks out of the closet with a pile of clothes in his arms.
"They're just…talking. Your Pop just ended the snowball fight."
"As long as they're happy…I honestly don't care what they do. I need them back to normal." Jason mutters.
"What are you doing?" Charlie asks when he notices Jason undressing.
"Changing. We're going somewhere."
"…a warning would have been nice."
"Sorry…here, put this on." Jason tosses Charlie a white turtle neck with a grin.
"Where are we going?" Charlie asks as he pulls off his current sweater to reveal a black T-shirt.
"I was hoping to see some skin." Jason pouts.
Charlie only blushes before laughing.
"Where are we going?" Charlie asks again.
"Central City." Jason states after pulling off his sweater and T-shirt.
"Why?" Charlie asks, his eyes avoiding the sight of Jason's perfectly toned chest and abs.
"Uncle Wally knows more about my parents' story than anyone. He and my Pop were best friends…still are, I need some help in getting them together quicker."
"What are you doing?" Charlie gasps when Jason starts pulling off his jeans.
"Changing." Jason chuckles.
"There's such thing as a bathroom! Jason don't you dare!" Charlie orders when he sees Jason reach for the waist band of his boxer briefs.
"Alright, alright!" Jason holds his hands up in mock surrender before pulling on the pair of black jeans on his bed.
"Your Uncle Wally…The Flash?" Charlie asks.
"Yeah…he doesn't like being called that though. Or Wallace. Wally…call him Wally." Jason mumbles as he struggles to put on a tight T-shirt.
"Jase?" Charlie chuckles.
"I'm fine!"
"Come here." Charlie rolls his eyes before walking over to pull at the hem of the black shirt.
"Thanks." Jason blushes a bright red as he shrugs on a leather jacket over the tight T-shirt.
"Jason it's freezing! You're not wearing that." Charlie scolds.
"Central is hotter than Gotham; I'll be fine."
"You're going to freeze."
"I'll be fine; let's go."
… … … … …
"Conner." Dick lets out a giggle when he's lifted off of his feet and slung over a broad shoulder.
"You're cheating!" The clone laughs.
"Put me down!"
"Why should I?"
"Kon!" Dick screams in glee when he's dropped gently onto the snow.
"Cheater." Conner chuckles as he hovers over the ebony.
"I am not." Dick chuckles before reaching up to run his fingers through Conner's snow covered hair.
Their labored breathing creates clouds around their mouths…but neither seems to notice the foggy white smoke as Conner leans down and covers Dick's mouth with his own.
… … … … … …
"come on!" Jason grabs Charlie's hand before rushing onto the blue and grey bus.
"Jason." Charlie gasps when he's pulled through the thick crowd and up onto the practically empty bus.
"One twenty-five…each." the driver mumbles to Jason.
The ebony only reaches into his pocket and drops some change into a glass box before trudging to a row of empty seats.
"This isn't what I imagined." Charlie mumbles as he looks out the window. Rundown buildings and graffiti meet his eyes at every corner.
"This is uptown…Wally lives in Central."
"Central Central City?"
"Yeah…" Jason chuckles.
The bus comes to a slow stop and Charlie looks over to find a group of guys getting on the bus.
"What are we going to do once we find out what we need?" Charlie asks.
"We need plands. Pop and Dad are getting along…they're crushing on each other and that's great. But we need to squeeze five years of a relationship into five days."
"I don't think that's possible Jason."
"It has to be…it's the only way to get my parents back to normal."
"And if that doesn't work?"
"I haven't really thought of a plan B yet…" Jason whispers. "This is our stop." Jason suddenly stands up stiffly.
Charlie follows his lead and stands as well.
"Leaving so soon Green Eyes?" someone calls after him.
Charlie grips Jason's hand when he sees the ebony stiffen and practically drags him off the bus before he can do anything he'll regret.
.. … … … …
Dick stares at the black leather behind the glass case with blurred vision.
His pale fingers rise to touch the perfectly clean box and he lets tears run down his cheek when the lights of the bat cave flicker on one by one.
Cobwebs litter every nook and cranny of the once buzzing cavern…dust layers the super computer's screen. Glass case after glass case lines a single wall…and in the center of it all- right where he remembers the Batmobile being- there's a single case. it runs from the high roof all the way down to the very bottom of the cave.
The first suit- the original- seems to float in the case along with every weapon Bruce had ever used.
"So it's true…you're gone." Dick whispers to himself.
The ebony knows it was foolish to believe that Bruce would be around forever…but as a young buy…he wanted to believe that his hero would never leave him.
"Dick? Are you in here?" Conner's voice echoes through the cave and the lights flicker up above.
"I'll be right out." Dick calls, his voice breaking.
"Where are you?" the ebony hears the clone take a step forward and quickly wipes away his tears.
"Don't come in here! I'll be right out." he calls out sternly.
"…okay." Conner sighs before leaving.
Dick takes a ragged breath before making his way out.
"Lights off." he mumbles and smiles slightly as the bulbs turn off one by one…only leaving a single spotlight on Bruce's memorial case.
So because there's 25 days until Christmas…I've decided to do something special.
I'll be writing 25 one shots for December and you guys get to pick the pairings. PLEASE VOTE?!
