Chapter 2: Christmas Time Part One
Wally's POV
It was the Christmas time of the year and it had always been my favorite holiday since I was a kid since we had a feast and presents. Who does not love that!? That is like everything a teenager or kid could ever want all in one day.
I certainly did and this year was going to be the best ever at least it would be if the team also celebrated it, you never know what they will or will not want to celebrate. They might not celebrate Christmas or celebrate it in a different way as Uncle Barry had pointed out to me.
I really did not want to think about that but I would know soon. I thought about as I ran from the zeta tube and into the living room where the team was. I had sent them all texts that there was a meeting for for the team after school and had not given any of them anymore information.
Robin was sitting on the couch while doing something on that computer on his gloves with a bemused expression on his face as he saw me enter the room. It was as if he were here to see what I was going to do with the meeting that I had called them for.
Artemis was standing and sending a look that told me really with it. She probably knew why and what I wanted from this meeting. Gulp, I hope that will not make her not support me doing this since I really do want to do it.
Miss Martian, Superboy and Aqualad looked totally confused on what the meeting was for since we had not had any missions in a couple of weeks and had not done anything to get us in trouble with our mentors or the justice league.
It made sense that they would have no idea what was going on because they had next to no idea about earth culture and it was only the first of December so the papers and TV were not so filled with Christmas stuff yet but soon would be.
"I want us to celebrate Christmas together at the mountain or at least come by for a bit if we are allowed to. After we celebrate with our families cause that is important too." I explained my idea to them hoping that they would not laugh at me and my idea.
"Of course, dude! Why do you even need to ask? I'll come by in the afternoon after I celebrate it in the morning. That was nothing to be nervous over. It will back Christmastime even more astrous to spend with you guys." Robin responded immediately with a whole lot of excitement in his voice.
"What is this Christmas that you speak of?" Miss Martian asked me the expected question from her. I would have to explain it to her before she, Superboy and Aqualad would join in. But how detailed of an explanation should I use to explain it to them.
"It is a holiday on the 25th of this month. It is celebrated differently by different people. It is one of the three winter holidays and the most common and over influenced by the media but that is the way we celebrate it now." Robin started with being technical about the holiday.
I could tell that Miss Martian and Aqualad were confused. Maybe cadmus had taught Superboy something similar. I needed to intervene or they would be too confused to celebrate it.
"On Christmas people spend time with their families, exchange presents and at least my family has a Christmas feast. Plus people do things in preparation such as decorate a pine tree and make treats, and have parties." I explained what people did on Christmas and around Christmas.
"Oh, that sounds like a wonderful earth holiday to celebrate! I'd love to celebrate it! What about you Conner would you like to celebrate this Christmas?" Miss Martian asked Superboy after agreeing to it, one less person to get to agree with it.
They all agreed it had taken some convincing for Aqualad and Artemis but I had done it and we just needed to get permission from our mentors in the justice league so I was racing to get some pizzas from a pizzeria in Italy since I know it was his favorite.
I wanted to be really kind to Uncle Barry so that he would say that I could spend time on Christmas with the team. I think that he would approve but it was better to make sure because I really really wanted to do this.
"Hi, Uncle Barry, I brought some pizza from that Italian place you really like." I told him as I placed the five boxes next to where he was sitting. He instantly grabbed and started to eat a slice of the pizza.
"What do you want Wally?" Uncle Barry asked me with a bit weariness in his voice as he asked me what I wanted. Maybe I should have gotten more food for him or done some chores around the house. Maybe he was going to say no.
"I was maybe kinda wondering if I could visit the team sometime after our Christmas celebration." I asked him very quickly to get it over with. It would have been impossible to tell I had said anything to anyone else but he understood me fine.
"Wally you do know that you do not need to bring me food to get what you want and of course I will let you go. Friends create a different family so you should spend some time with them. Also Iris will lecture you if she catches you using super speed in front of the neighbors" Uncle Barry told me and I was excited that I would get to do this.
Hopefully the rest of the team's mentors would also agree to let us do this or else it might just be me celebrating and that would get lonely very, very quickly and that was something that I really didn't want.
We had all agreed to ask our mentor's by this point and were going to share what were the verdicts that we had gotten but the other's might be bad news and not like mine in the slightest so I prepped myself for the worst.
I ran into the mountain, I had been so nervous that I had ran the whole way instead of using the zeta beams. What if they couldn't also do this and I was the only one?
Everyone on the team was seated in the living room like area waiting for me to arrive. I had super-speed how was I the last one to arrive for this? None of them looked dreary that might be good but no one looked as hopeful as I felt.
"Guys, Flash told me that it was fine if I came here in the afternoon on Christmas as long as I spend the morning with the family." I told them trying really hard to say it in an understandable speed.
"Conner and I basically live here so we will be here if we are allowed to celebrate the holiday or not and my uncle doesn't celebrate the holiday so we will be here for Christmas." M'gann told us about her and Superboy's situation.
"I will not be required in Atlantis during that time. I will be able to celebrate this Christmas with you." Kaldar told us. Yes, only Dick and Artemis had not claimed that they could come.
"Well, Wally Batman told me I could come over after I attend everything at home with the family." Dick told me. I smiled even wider there was just one more yes that we needed.
"I can come Wally." Artemis told me while exasperated at my questioning look that I was giving her. She was able to come, that meant that all of us would be able to come.
They were all coming so we were going to have Christmas! It was really going to happen!
I met all of their eyes and saw that everyone but Artemis's eyes were excited for the 25th to come.
