Hey guys...longtime no see right?
Okay, so I honestly don't have an excuse other than writer's block and laziness. I need some ideas...or some art to inspire me. HELP?!
Young Justice is back! YAY!
I'm hooked on Bluepulse. Anyone else?
Anyway, please review. thanks for reading, and all that jazz!
I'll try to upload ASAP!
"Why is it impossible to get some peace?" Wally sighs as he sits down across the table from his nephew.
"Because fate has a wicked sense of humor.." Jason muttered in response before looking up at the red head.
"What do you want to know?"
"How did Pop meet Dad?" Jason asks without a hitch.
"We...we kind of broke Conner out of Cadmus Labs."
"What's Cadmus?" Charlie asks with a frown.
"It used to be a building that conducted experiments and research. They created Superboy..." Artemis states as she walks to the kitchen table with a bowl in hand.
"It also...created you, Jason." Wally mumbles hesitantly as he picks at the hardwood table.
"What do you mean?" Charlie asked, his eyebrows pulling together in confusion.
"I thought I was a surrogate baby." Jason mumbles in confusion.
"...that was something your parents considered..." Artemis mumbles with a shrug.
"But?" Charlie prompted.
"But, Dick got in touch with Cadmus and...things happened. They did research and suddenly...you were possible." Wally shrugs nonchalantly.
"What do you mean I was possible?"
"He means, with some new tech and a sample of both of their DNA...they made you." Artemis states.
"As in...literally?"
"Jase...you aren't a normal kid. You weren't born...you were constructed."
"I'm more human than I am kryptonian."
"Your repressing your kryptonian side, that doesn't matter anyway. Your powers should kick in soon."
"Soon? How soon? What powers? I only have heat vision, and I don't even like that!"
"Did you come to us to hear your story or to hear your patents' story?" Artemis demands with a raised eyebrow.
"How did thy meet?" Jason repeats through clenched teeth.
"Dick got into Conner's mind. He asked if Conner ever wanted to see the world for himself. That was the first time they talked." Wally mumbles.
"When did they first start liking each other?" Charlie asks softly.
"Conner had been at the cave for less than a month. He still didn't understand a few things. Dick walked in him trying to cook. Dick helped Kon clean himself up. According to Dick, as soon as he saw Conner that night, he was hooked."
"Neither one was very descriptive of when they fell for each other." Artemis states with a shrug.
"Where was their first date?" Jason asks with pink cheeks.
"Conner took Dick down to the beach on the fourth of July. It marked their first date, the first day they met, the day Conner was set free, and the Day Conner met Superman. They had their first kiss that night too." Wally states with a chuckle.
"When did Dad propose?"
"On their fifth anniversary Dick went to work and...during a board meeting he reached into his suit pocket. He found the ring in there." Artemis states with a sigh.
"Sappy." Jason mutters with a frown.
"It's cute." Charlie chuckles.
"As if."
... ...
"So what's the plan?" Charlie asks as he and Jason sit down at one of the booths inside of the dinner they'd found on their way home.
"Uncle Wally said that Dad gets jealous easily. I think that's our best bet."
"Jealousy? That's a low blow." Charlie mumbles.
"You have a better idea?" Jason asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Artemis said that they did a lot of couple stiff together. I say we treat them like normal teenagers."
"That'll never work."
"Jealousy will make them angry!"
"It'll make them want each other."
"We didn't get together because of jealousy." Charlie mutters under his breathe before looking down at his menu.
"I'm not the jealous type." Jason states with wide eyes.
"That's a lie!"
"We're not a jealous pair." Jason shrugs.
"We got together by making mistakes and feeling awkward...we finally got together because we got frustrated and fed up. That's how they should get together."
"Pop doesn't feel awkward. "
"Your Dad doesn't get jealous."
"What other choices do we have?" Jason sighs.
"Love can't happen in a week Jase."
"Romeo and Juliet fell in love in like four days! All those Disney movies happened in like two hours!"
At that, Charlie chuckles and shakes his head.
"Those are fairy tales and tragedies, Jase."
"We don't have an option Charlie. They have to fall in love."
"But we can't force them."
"We can't leave them alone either!"
"...we try different things then."
"We don't have much time."
"...I have an idea." Charlie suddenly states with a wide grin.
... ... ... ...
"Pop! Dad!" Jason screams as he and Charlie step past the front door
"Don't scream!" Charlie hisses with wide eyes.
"What's going on?" Dick asks as peeks over the railing upstairs.
"Get changed! We have plans!" Jason states with a wide grin.
"What?" Conner frowns and comes up behind the former Robin.
"Just put on something warm." Charlie smiles.
It's only once they leave that Jason finally looks back at his boyfriend.
"We're sure?" He asks with a worried frown.
"Yes. I take your Dad-"
"And I get Pop." Jason finishes with a nod.
"We both drop them off down town at the rink tonight."
"And then we wait."
"Right." Charlie stands on the tips of his toes and pecks Jason's lips gently.
"Hold on." Jason growls playfully before pulling the blonde close and kissing him lovingly.
"It's been a while since you've done that." Charlie sighs and blushes.
"I know...I'm sorry."
"Ready!" Dick states, making both boys jump away from each other.
"Right." Jason nods and sighs. "Charlie, you can take my car. I'll take the Truck." Jason digs into his pocket and pulls out his keys with a small smile.
"Seriously?" Charlie asks with wide eyes.
"Yeah. Be careful with the ice." Jason pecks the Blonde's cheek before walking out with Dick in tow.
"What about Conner?" The ebony mumbles as he's pulled away.
"You'll see, Pop."
Charlie watches as they drive off before shutting the door.
"Where did they go?" Conner's voice is right behind him, making Charlie jump and yelp in surprise.
"You scared me."
"Sorry...I didn't mean to." Conner mumbles with a slight frown.
"No worries. Come on." Charlie smiles at the other and holds up the keys to Jason's car before starting to walk outside.
"Where are we going?" Conner asks as he follows.
"We're going shopping."
"...for what? I have clothes."
"You have your super hero clothes and your work clothes. You need teenager clothes." Charlie explains.
"What?"
"You'll see soon enough Mr. Grayson. Trust me, okay?"
"...call me Conner."

"How about this?" Jason asks and holds up a turtle neck.
"Gross." Dick wrinkles his nose and shakes his head.
"You love turtle necks." Jason frowns.
"I do?"
"Well...you like it when Dad wears turtle necks."
"Oh...I like this." Dick states with a wide smile.
"What?" Jason walks over to the rack to find a red jacket with black trips running down the arms.
"...What will you wear under it?" Jason asks as he plucks the jacket of the rack.
"A T-shirt." Dick states with wide eyes.
"Oh...kay." Jason sighs and leads his father through the store.
/
"This looks nice." Charlie smiles and holds up a leather jacket.
"No Leather." Conner states with a frown. "This." he states and holds up his own jacket.
"What is it?" Charlie asks and runs a hand over the fabric.
"Does it matter?"
"Not really...good point. Shirts are next."
"Great."
"Come on." Charlie chuckles before grabbing the clone's wrist and tugging him gently.
"Hey Anderson!"
Charlie can only wince and freeze when the voice drifts into his ears.
"Come on." Charlie whispers before starting to rush towards the doors.
"Charles!" Conner watches in utter shock as the blonde is grabbed harshly by the arm and turned to look at a boy around his age.
"Let me go Isaiah." Charlie mumbles stiffly.
"What's wrong? Running away now that you've been caught in the act?" the boy chuckles.
"what are you talking about?" Charlie demands with a glare.
"You're cheating on your precious boyfriend, aren't you?"
Conner slowly walks over with a glare of his own.
"What are you talking about."
"Bug and Burly here." the boy states before looking over at Conner.
"Conner's a friend."
"A friend? You were holding hands."
"We weren't."
"I wonder how Jason is going to react."
"He won't. He knows."
"Grayson is into this kind of stuff? Never imagined him to be the kinky type."
"That's not what I meant and you know it. Get lost."
"Make me, Pretty Boy."
"Gladly." Conner growls before stepping in front of Charlie.
"I'm not scared of you, bug guy."
"You should be." Charlie mumbles.
"Oh yeah?"
No one answers before Conner's landed a solid punch and the boy lands on the floor.
"Get lost." Conner growls.
"Come on, Conner." Charlie states quickly before dragging the bigger boy away.
"Who was he?" Conner demands once they reach another section of the store.
"He...he goes to school with Jason and me."
"He's a pain."
"I know. Thanks for that though. It means a lot." Charlie smiles slightly before nodding. "Come on, lets get your stuff."
/
"Since when does this exist?" Dick asks when Jason pulls up in front of Gotham City's Ice skating rink.
"It opened up a few years ago. It's a dead joint, but we find it so it stays open." Jason explains as he gets out of the truck.
"Why do we find it?" Dick asks with a frown.
"I'm not sure. You and Dad just decided to. Come on, we have to get skates."
"Shouldn't we be getting home?"
"Stop worrying Pop."
/
"What is this place?" Conner asks as he follows Charlie into the building.
"You'll see." Charlie states and smiles back at the guy. "Come on, the rental place is this way.
Jason spots Charlie from across the rink and he smiles knowingly.
"I'll be right back Pop." he states before jogging away.
"Here you go Conner." Charlie smiles as they sit and start lacing up.
"Thank you." the clone smiles gently at the other and slowly starts to peel off his boots.
It's only when Charlie hears someone call his name softly that he looks up to find his boyfriend waving him over.
"I'll be right back. You should go ahead and start skating." Charlie states with a smile before getting up and rushing away.
"Hey." Jason chuckles and pecks his boyfriend gently before pulling him behind a cardboard sign advertising hot chocolate.
"Hey, how did things go?" Charlie asks and grips Jason's warm hand in his freezing one.
"Good. You?"
"Mm-hm." Charlie forces a smile and pecks the other's cheek as a distraction. Jason buys It and blushes.
"They saw each other." Jason hisses and turns back to his parents.
Sure enough, Conner was sitting beside Dick with a smile.
"It worked! Right?" Charlie cheers softly.
"Yeah...come on."
"Where are we going?"
"Pop told me he knew how to drive. I say we leave the keys to the Truck in Conner's Boot and book it. We can the rest of the night to ourselves." Jason explains as he pulls out the set of keys.
"Are we sure about this."
"Yes." Jason states as he drops the keys in with a smile. "Now come on, before they see us!"
... ...
It's an hour later when Jason finds himself cuddling with Charlie as they watch a movie in his room.
"You're warm." Charlie sighs before nuzzling his neck.
"You're freezing." Jason chuckles when the blonde's lips skim his jaw.
"You're dense." Charlie states with an big smile before pecking Jason's cheek.
Realization hits Jason before he blushes and chuckles.
"Oh...I get it." Jason states before leaning down and kissing his boyfriend tenderly.
"Hm...good." Charlie chuckles before shifting to straddle the ebony's waist.
"You're...really turning me on right now." Jason mumbles between kisses, warning the blonde of what he's feeling.
"That's the idea." Charlie states before pulling back.
Jason can see that Charlie's hands are shaking slightly, and his cheeks are a crimson red.
"You're serious about this?" he asks softly and takes the other's hands in his own.
"Yes. I want you...and I think you need this."
"What do you mean?"
"Jase, you're stressed to the point where you're barely yourself. Maybe this will help."
"My stress isn't sexual, Charlie. You don't have to do this."
"What if I want to?"
"And if my parents come home early or something?"
At that, Charlie stiffens and sighs.
"I didn't think about them."
"I promise, that when this is all over...we can do this. But for now, I need your help in saving my family." Jason states softly before kissing Charlie gently.
"I guess that's fair." Charlie sighs and kisses Jason back.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Jason."
