A costume party… A hero shouldn't be here. I was dressed as myself at Barry's house. For some reason he decided to through this party – Come dressed as your favorite hero. I didn't know who else to dress as, because that'd be embarrassing, so here I was as the Green Lantern with a few other poorly dressed lanterns around me at Allen's house. A blush crept on to my cheeks as Barry entered the room to say hey to everyone. I was surprised to see he wasn't dressed as The Flash. Instead he wore a green suit with a plastic ring on his finger. He chuckled as he came over, "green is popular here." Those blue eyes looked at me with care as he reached out and took one of my hands. "I mean, we can't be as cool as the real thing, but a least we can try."

This was getting uncomfortable for me. Barry made me feel odd, and I had agreed to go on a date with him. However, I hadn't expected to have such a public one. His mouth began to move, but everything was silent as I zoned out. His hand shaking my arm brought me back from the deps of my thoughts. "Hal, are you okay?" My eyes went wide and I nodded.

"Sorry, I just started thinking…" His head cocked to the side in curiosity. "It isn't important. Let's just have fun, like the other day bowling." I smirked and took his hand in return. His cheeks reddened at my gesture before he nodded. We slowly made our way to the kitchen and I picked up a plate to get some food. The speedster began to fix his own plate as well. By the time I had fixed a normal sized portion he'd fix himself five people's servings. One of my eyebrows perked as he began to eat, in a flash it was all gone and a normal amount remained on there. I snickered, "that's attentive." I gave him a wink and fixed myself a drink as well. The pepsi fizzled up to the edge of my glass before dying down to about half of a cup. His hand darted over and the cup was empty. My eyes narrowed and I stared at him for a moment. "Thanks, that was my glass though." I poured another drink and picked up the beverage, sipping at it as we slowly walked back to the living space.

One guy bumped into me and chuckled, "nice costume, but the real lantern doesn't wear nearly as tight of a suit. Plus his gloves aren't nearly that long." I flinched, confused at why my actual suit was being criticized.

Barry stepped between us and held his hands up, "hey… Just so you know this guy has met the actual group of lanterns. Not only that, but he has met all of the Justice League." The guy stepped back and snarled, and then he walked away in a frustrated manner.

I laughed and swung an arm around his shoulders, "that was great." My other hands reached out and ruffled his hair, but he turned his head away. "Are you okay?" He quickly nodded, glancing back at me. Slowly I pulled my arm from around his shoulders and sighed, "Alright. How about we make this party more fun? Not that it isn't already. We can play a board game. I have one out in my car if you're interested?" I smiled slightly and looked at him from the corner of my eyes.

Barry shrugged, "yeah, I think a game could liven this place up some."

Running out to my car I popped open my trunk. There rested one of my favorite games I could've found. Dungeon Fighters. Like a nerd I hastily grabbed the game, plus the object that lay beside it, and jogged back inside. "I got what I was looking for." I handed him the game and he grinned.

One of his brows rose, "this is such a hard game to get good at."

"Nobody can cheat at it. It's all about lucky and having fun." I pulled out the other item from my trunk. "Or you can just put in a movie about the league made by made. Don't worry, no secrets are revealed in the making of this film." He pulled case from my hand and placed the board game.

The speedster glanced around the room, "maybe we can save that for a board game night? I think it'll be a lot of fun if it's just with close friends." I nodded to him and set the game to the side.

Plopping down on the couch, I watched a he popped in the disc. He cleared his throat and got everybody's attention easily. "I'm going to play a behind the scenes film made by my friend" –he gestured to me- "of the Justice League. So if you're interested I hope you watch it." Allen walked over and fell down beside me on the couch.

Nothing appeared on the screen for a moment, but then white flickering began and Superman appeared. He was sitting beside Batman and laughing. "Yeah, I bet you twenty dollars if that's true. Anyways, how is Gotham?" The dark hero glanced at him, "depressing… but there is still hope." Out of nowhere Flash stood in front of them. "What are you guys talking about?"

Hal found his gaze attended to the ass covered in red as the speedster made his way over to the other two heroes. I blushed and glanced at the other man that sat at my side. Slowly my hand slid across the couch and one of my fingers slid over the back of his hand. I felt him flinch slightly before his fingers slid into my touch.

My gaze shifted back to the screen. Wonder Woman was now there as well. The group was enjoying themselves. I couldn't hold back my smile at seeing my friends have fun. The woman placed her hands on her hips, "in this world of chaos we need that wave of calmness. The girl represents what we want. I don't understand why each of you refuse to bring her into the league." Things were beginning to get heated among the team. Superman and stared at her for a moment before turning his back to all of them, "We'll have this conversation with the entire league. This is a highly important topic seeing as she is half demon!" The kryptonian blasted from his place and disappeared off screen. The Flash sighed, "She's just unstable. That's why we want to be extra precautions." She nodded and turned her back to him. The bat rose and swept his way away from the camera's view. Once everyone was gone, Flash glanced around before grinning. "This is what I wanted!"

I couldn't help to grin at the screen as he began to dance around. "The Flash, he must love to dance." I looked over at Barry who was blushing so badly his ears were red. He pulled his hand away and got up. "I think that's enough…" He reached down and began to pop the disc out just as in the film the speedster started doing the moonwalk. "Yeah, nobody should see a hero during his free time." He stopped it from playing and glared at me, holding the disc to his chest as if it were the most valuable thing in the world.

Following after the red-faced speedster, Hal pulled the dvd from his fingertips and grinned as their faces became inches apart. It only embarrassed Barry farther as he jerked away and turned around. I couldn't hold back a snicker as I watched him stumble up the steps with the disc. I could see myself actually being happy with the younger hero. The thought slightly embarrassed me originally, but I was slowly coming around. My teasing of the poor guy also helped me get used to the idea of being more than coworkers as well.
