Dear Diary,
This is the first day, that I get out of the house since the last entry. I'm meeting up with Billy in Gotham square. I expect him to be late so I brought a book. Daddy of course made give him some sort of schedule and GPS and yada yada.
So when I got there, I saw someone that I haven't seen for a while.
"Cammy!" I called out to him and hugged him. He was seriously surprised. He is Icicle Jr. Remember him?
"Luna?" He looks at me and grins. "Whoa! I haven't seen you for a couple of years. Look at you. You're so big!" He pet me on the head. Why does everyone do that?
"So how have you been?" I asked him.
"Eh, my dad's terrified of you so he refuses to come to the Gotham area anymore. Other than that good. I stopped doing a lot of the you know whats and I got a normal job. I'm working at the skating rink. Come by whenever and I can teach you some moves." He grins widely. "How about you?"
"I graduated from college, Daddy got back with Harley, got a boyfriend, invented a new type of missile..."
"Wait. What was that again?" He cut me off.
"I invented a new type of missile."
"Go back one."
"Daddy got back with Harley?"
"After that."
"Oh. I got a boyfriend."
"What! Who is it?"
"Ah." My face was turning red at this point. "His name is Billy. He's 16 and so cute."
His brow raises. "16? and you are?"
"Going to turn 14. It doesn't matter. It's a small age difference."
"That's not why. Where'd you meet him?"
"The park." Whoa. Why is he asking all these questions?
"Luna, you need to be careful!" He grabs my shoulders. "He may be some creep that wants to take advantage of you!" He started shaking me.
"Cameron! I-" Oi, I'm getting dizzy and then he wasn't there anymore. Someone punched him to the ground.
"Hey, hands off my girlfriend!" Billy says angrily. He was in normal form so it was goo but that's not the point now!
"Cameron!" I went to the angry Cameron who had blood on his mouth. "Billy! Why did you do that?"
"He was hurting you." Billy said in a pout. "I thought you were in danger."
I smiled at him. He is such a good guy. "Billy, this is Cameron. He was my temporary babysitter when my usual one was on a trip. He's just a friend."
"Oh." He became really guilty."I am so sorry." He pulled him up.
I looked in my bag and took out a napkin and gave it to him. Cameron looked at him as he was evaluating him. He then smiled.
"Nah, it's all right. Good to know you're serious about Luna here. She's like a little sister to me."
That reminds me Cameron's personality is very similar to Daddy's. Oh no.. I remember the first time Daddy met Billy. Daddy was in his natural state and since I already came clean to Billy about that, he wasn't that afraid. But Daddy tried his best and did many things that would have scared the average person to death. Oh the Cameron has ice powers...
He puts his hand out to Billy to shake and well of course Billy being so kind and polite took it, and half froze.
"Billy!" I screamed. His head was okay but everything else was in a block of ice. Other people noticed what was happening and ran away screaming.
Cameron looked at Billy. "Sorry, pal. But I have to do this, you know? For the family."
Billy looked exhausted by this. I on the other hand was furious. I took Cameron's arm and started squeezing it forcefully.
"Cameron, unfreeze him now. You do not want to make me angrier, do you?"
Cameron made a pout and face at me. "But.."
"No buts. Unfreeze him now. Daddy already interrogated and approved of him so do it now!"
He sighed and reluctantly did it. Billy shook off the remainder of ice and shivered a bit from the cold. I hugged him.
"Okay, now we run before the cops get here." I ordered and we ran a couple blocks away until we were safe. We breathed hard. "You..idiot!" I yelled at Cameron. "I am so sorry, Billy."
"It's okay. I am..used to it." He says, grinning at me. I smiled back and kicked Cameron.
He yelps slightly and then rolls his eyes at me. "I apologize too. I just want what's best for her. She's one of the only people that cares about me." He mutters.
Aw, how sweet but so stupid. He nearly got killed by Daddy and I just got him to stop and patched up Cameron's wounds. Now he treats me like family, isn't that great?
So we had to go our separate ways before they see us together and I waved him goodbye and then Billy and I went on our date.
So I went home and I got a huge surprise. He was there. Cammy that is. He was shaking hands with Daddy and smiling and it was creepy. They didn't notice me so I quickly back stepped and quietly closed the door. I ran around to the back of the house and entered through the kitchen. I tiptoed and hid behind Daddy's statue of himself and listened.
"So when can I move in?" Cameron asked Daddy.
"As soon as possible. It'll be good for Luna to have an actual person here when I'm away. I want you to be her guardian of sorts. Do you understand me?"
"Of course. I would do anything for her."
He smiles. "Good. You won't be like your father, right?"
The other nods."I cut all ties to him."
"Good. Now where is Luna? She should be home by now. That boyfriend of hers must be delaying her." Daddy sighs.
I quickly ran back into the kitchen, around and to the front door. I opened it. "I'm home!" I yelled short of breath.
Daddy squeezed me. "Did you run here?"
I looked around. "Yes? Why is Cammy here?"
"He's going to live here now. Since my cast is off now, I'm going to take a trip and I needed someone to watch over you."
"I have Brainiac. He's been watching me so far. Doing a good job I might add."
"Honey, I get this feeling he likes you more than me and hides secrets so this one here." He grabs him. "Will watch over you on his off time. Also he can be with you during meals. You won't be lonely"
I gave him an are-you-serious? look but sighed. It's just Daddy. "Okay, welcome to our home Cameron. Daddy did he tell you how he hurt himself?"
"Yeah, he said he got hit by a baseball."
I looked at Cameron and sighed in relief. "I'll show him to a room. You can start on dinner. What are we eating?"
"Meatloaf." He says all proudly but I looked at him skeptically.
"Animal right?"
"I'll make two of them." He says avoiding my question and going into the kitchen.
I then showed Cameron his room. It was the guest bedroom. My house has lots of rooms, mostly for storage used to have a cute guy with an arm missing until it was moved by a higher power to Asia. I then left him there and started to head downstairs. Next thing I know, I hear him screaming. I went back to see Scaley gnawing on him. I whistled Scaley over and he came huffing.
"It's okay. He's going to live with us now. Go downstairs and wait. Daddy is making mystery meatloaf. He didn't specify if it was animal or not."
He smiled. Mystery meat is his favorite food. He quickly went downstairs as I treated Cameron's arm.
"Sorry. Scaley doesn't like new people. Good thing you just got bitten. He ate the mailman before."
"What! Where'd you get him?" He yells in fear.
"Well, when I was about 5 or 6, I was playing and found a tunnel to the sewers. I ended up at another opening and got lost. Somehow I met Scaley who at the time was known as Killer Croc. He was much skinnier then. Well afterwards, when I wouldn't run away from and just stared at him. He didn't know what to do and brought me home. So I decided to hold onto him and told him he could stay here and leave whenever he wanted to. It's been almost a decade, well really 8 to 9 years? So yeah, he became family. He just leaves once in a while and comes home in a week. Oh and he's actually human." I finished bandaging up.
"He's what?!" He says, eyes bugging out.
"My pet. So don't do anything to him, as in icing him!"
"Fine..." He replies, pouting.
"Good boy. Now clean up a bit and then go to dinner. See ya."
I went downstairs to the kitchen. Scaley was lying on the floor, idly drooling as he looked at Daddy's cooking. He on the other hand was wearing a flower apron and his oven mitts, holding a tray of meatloaf. When I looked at it, it smelled great but there was something off.
"Luna, be a dear and set the table. Also go and put the vegetables in a bowl. We'll be having a feast tonight." He laughs maniacally and I did as he told.
Later, Cameron was there and we were ready for dinner. Scaley laid down next to me with his special bowl and I put a slice of meatloaf in his bowl. Daddy then put a slice of the smaller meatloaf on my plate. I have a feeling this is the real meatloaf, but at the same time I couldn't say anything. Oh well, if Cameron eats something with complete trust in my Daddy, good luck Cameron. I'm not going to spoil Daddy's fun.
Scaley ate happily. I ate whatever Daddy put on my plate which was a lot of vegetables. I like them but I like meat best.
So afterwards, Cameron helped Daddy wash the dishes and I told them I was going to my workshop in the basement/labyrinth. So I did to work on some work. I'm making something for a company called LexCorp. I'm making some kind of medication for them. Something to do with radioactive poisoning. I don't know exactly but I met him before. He's nice and didn't seem as crazy but he looked sick...Oh well. So I think I figured it out but need to do so many tests, but do people really need it? It's not like a lot of people have it. I wonder. If this actually works, maybe I can use it on Daddy?
I wonder he looked like before hi 'accident', he says it's not really an accident and Batman caused it, but lots of people say that. He also said he was really handsome and a lot of women would have killed to be with him but he chose Mommy. I wonder what she looks like? He doesn't have a picture of them. Actually, I don't really know a lot about her. He just told me she was beautiful and I look like her. He doesn't like talking about that time of his life, before he was the Joker. He hates it so much that I don't even have a definte last name. Billy never asked for one and Dick..I think the one given to the school was Tic? That is the last time I get Uncle Eddie to do paperwork. That's why some of my classmates thought that was a nickname. I'm not crazy. I'm perfectly normal.
What was I talking about again? Oh bother. The solution is turning purple. That's not good. Well gotta go. Until next time.
So I have a tumblr now. It's "Istillthinkthewordgroovyishi p" tumblr. com . If you send me questions I'll do little drabbles of this fic.
Please review.
