A/N: so while I'm suffering with writers block on the next instalment of the "Hi,there" series (and I can't think up a title) I have decided to write some of this... A story that I've neglected for quite a while. So enjoy!
I grin at Kaldur from my cot, as he sits at his desk quietly.
"You know what I'd LOVE to do right now?" I ask sarcastically.
"What would that be?" Kaldur asks quietly.
"Lets go shopping, I could use something to read, and maybe some music." I say grinning still.
"NO! NO MUSIC! And as for a book...I believe I have a book on the history of submarines, I can lend it to you if you'd like." Kaldur says, not looking up from his work.
"Tempting, but I prefer books with story lines." I reply dryly. "Oh I've got it! Lets go to a convention!" I yell happily, "I could be Sparrow, and you can be Black Manta!"
"May I ask what a convention is?" Kaldur asks, with an eyebrow raised.
"A place where nerds go to hang out with other nerds, and they dress up! And I can be me, and you can be you! Or you know-your Dad!" I yell happily, suddenly Tigress walks in, followed by Icicle Jr.
"UGH! It you!" I say angrily, pointing to Jr.
"The feeling is mutual, Blondie." He replies snakily. "I'm just here to tell Kaldur'ahm that his pop says we can take a break, maybe go back on land." Jr says, moving to talk to Kal.
"Could you remind my father that the prisoner, is my responsibility and she shouldn't leave my sight, does that mean she can come too?" Kallie says to Jr. who walks away pouting.
"Kallie!" I whine, "I don't like him! He is a jerk!" I yell, ugh I really don't like him.
"Yes I get that, but he will probably not talk to you, seeing as he likes Tuppence now." Kaldur says quickly.
"Oooh!" I grin, "Kallie knows all the drama!" I say and snap my fingers.
Kaldur groans, and talks to Tigress quietly, I think about singing the K. I. S. S. I. N. G song, but refrain. Kaldur said to the team that he was still upset that Tula died, so I won't be too mean.
"The boss man says 'as long as you remove all her electronics, and keep an eye on her at all times, then the prisoner may come along.'" Jr says, quoting Manta Man exactly.
"I have a name..." I mutter quietly.
Jr ignores me and continues, "I'd go, but I'm not the biggest fan of Blondie here so... I think I'll spend some time with Tuppie." He says and walks away.
"Ugh FINALLY!" I yell as Jr leaves.
He pops his head in and glares at me before looking at Kaldur, "You know when the Light kidnapped her we put a collar, and a gag on her...just a suggestion." Jr says looking solely at Kal.
"Well if they did that, then I couldn't do this," I say turning invisible, I walk over to Icy and punch him hard in the face, most likely resulting in a black eye. I turn visible and walk back to Tigress and Kallie both hiding smiles.
"You'll regret that!" Jr says and runs to go tattle on me.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you get off with a warning." Kaldur says lightly, as we feel the ship (or is it a submarine?) rise onto land. I screech and run to go put my Sparrow costume on, as I hear Kaldur and Tigress chuckle behind me.
After I change, I run back to Tigress and Kallie, Kaldur is getting all dressed up in his Black Manta outfit, and Tigress is dressed as Tigress.
"Oh no you don't!" I yell, walking up to Tigress.
"What?" She asked.
"You can't just be you, cause you're a lesser known Villain, you have to be someone people know...well you have black hair, you could be Zatanna!" I yell happily.
He horrified look just causes me to grin, "Or you could be Cheshire..." I say trailing off.
"I'll go with Zatanna, but where would I get a costume?" She asks me, I grin and walk outside.
We get to the convention me as Sparrow, Kaldur as Black Manta, and Tigress as Cheshire. After half an hour of arguing I finally got my Cell phone back, I called Roy and asked him to bring Jade's Cheshire outfit, he asked if I wanted a rescue party, but I told him that I'm secretly spying on the Light and the Reach.
He finally agreed and Zeta-ed to where I was and then I thanked him when he gave me the costume.
So currently Kaldur and I are teasing Tigress' hair to make it as insane as Jade's (yes Kaldur does know how to tease hair) When we are finally done, we exit the 'Manta Flyer' and head to the convention.
We walk in, and I am so overwhelmed by the amount of people. And the amount of superhero Cosplays is amazing.
Many people run toward me and complement me on my 'costume'.
"Wow that's great!" A young girl dressed as Black Canary says smiling at me.
"How did you get that so realistic!?" An Artemis cosplayer ask me.
"Wow! That is so great! Mind taking a picture with me?" A Nightwing cosplayer asks me, holding out a camera.
"Thank you!" I say to the Black Canary "it was a lot of hard work and checking Google for pictures to get it so realistic." I say to the Artemis. "And I'd love to do a Nightwing, Sparrow photo shoot with you!" I say to the Nightwing.
As I am about to leave, I see Kaldur and Tigress being mobbed as well, I smile and continue outside for the photo shoot.
The Nightwing and I take some great photos, him catching me, me sassing him, us both doing handstands, us perched on top of a building, and plenty of others.
"My name is Josh by the way." The Nightwing says to me as we take another photo, this time is in fighting stances.
"I'm..." I trail off, should I say my real name? Or is that in an essence telling him my secret identity? "I'm Danika." I say smiling lightly, at least it's close to my name.
"Hey would you like me to send you these photos Danika?" Josh asks me.
I smile, "yeah sure I'd love to see them! My email is Daniisgreat , send them there okay?" I say grinning at him.
"Alright." He says back. As I am about to leave, someone yells "wait!" I look back and see the Artemis cosplayer holding the camera, by this time, Kaldur and Tigress are behind me, ready to go. "You have to let my OTP happen, can you two please kiss?" She asks, I look at Josh in horror, sure he's dressed like Dick, and well Dick and I have kissed before but this is some random kid, I've never met him a day in my life, but I don't want to let down the girl.
Josh looks at me, and he grins a thought suddenly occurs to me, that grin is very familiar, and that Cosplay is too good to be just a Cosplay. I look at the boy closer, "may I take off your mask?" I ask him softly.
"Go right ahead, Blondie." He says.
I smile as I take off his mask, to reveal crystal blue eyes, that I know all to well. Dick was this Josh all along. I smile at Grayson, "So you still want that kiss?" I ask smirking.
"You know I do, Danika." Dick says back, using the name I used, that I now realize is our ship name.
I move closer to Grayson smiling as our noses touch, and I kiss him lightly, until I hear the camera signal that the picture was taken.
"Hey Josh," I say looking at Dick. "Call me." I say grinning and walking over to Kaldur and Tigress.
Suddenly I hear Dick in my mind, obviously the team is here, I wonder why..., but Dick probably asked miss M for a link.
'So how's everything going with the whole kidnapped thing?' Dick asks me.
'Oh you know, I'm learning about their plans, Kaldur isn't as bad as everyone thinks...the usual.' I reply.
'Well stay safe, and I'm glad we had this talk, and that kiss.' Dick says, and almost instinctively I put my fingers to my lips, already missing Grayson, oh well, I still have more ways to annoy Kallie.
When we get back to the Manta Flyer, Kaldur tells us about his lousy time.
"People asked me if my armour was made out of paper mâché! This fine crafts work, is not strips of paper being held together by Water, Flour, and glue!" He says angered.
"We we could have dressed you up in something else... But I doubt you'd like it." I say quickly, as Kaldur perks up suddenly.
"How about next time, I'll be Black manta and you can be Sparrow! Sound like a plan?" I ask smiling!
"Yes Annika that is a great idea." Kaldur says unenthusiastically.
"Great! I hope this fits!" I say throwing my shoes at him. "Think of it this way, if you hated this one, imagine next years, while wearing my costume. I for one am excited!" I say and sit down on my cot.
"What was it that one girl asked for, with the picture, what is an OTP?" Kaldur asks confused.
"Oh have I got a lot to tell you! Classes start tomorrow! Don't be late!" I say and lay down, to go to sleep.
