Chapter 3
Girls are a dangerous species
"So...so the V is pronounced v inthenorthern dialects, and j in thesouthern dialects?" Wally asked hesitantly, his tongue poking out as he squinted at the unfamiliar figures on the page. Across from him, Artemis gave a slight grunt of agreement, not looking up from where she was fixing an arrow fletching. Since Wally had miraculously finished learning Romanian (a feat she'd thought would be beyond him), the speedster had been bothering Artemis and trying to learn Vietnamese. It was vaguely annoying, but it was rather fun to tease him without any rebuttal. She'd enjoy while it lasted, and the flirty remarks-well, she had to get her stress out somehow.
"Tôi cho rằng bạn đang nhận được một chút tốt hơn, đẹp trai, " Artemis smirked, tossing her hair over one shoulder. Her grin stretched wider as she watched him scratch his head in confusion, flipping through his dictionary as he tried to figure out what she'd said. "Đừng bận tâm, tuyệt đẹp, mà bạn đang gò má đỏ đủ như nó được. Tôi không nghĩ rằng tâm trí nhỏ xinh của bạn có thể chịu được sự tán tỉnh. Bạn vẫn còn có một cách để đi trước khi bạn có thể snag 'em như Cướp trên đó."
"Acum Arty, nu-l tachineze prea mult," Robin called from the rafters, grinning at the compliment and laughing to himself as KF only looked more confused.
"What's she saying?" Wally asked Robin curiously.
Artemis gave Robin a threatening look from behind the speedster-she wasn't stupid. After she'd caught him laughing himself silly at several of her more interesting comments, the archer had figured out that the ebony could understand her, resulting in several creative curses Robin kept in mind for future usage. A one-sided bargain later (he could understand her, she couldn't understand him), and Robin promised not to tell Wally what she was saying. As to what she owed him-well, that was classified.
Robin shrugged innocently, discretely winking at the flustered blonde, "Nu știu KF, ce crezi?"
Wally huffed, flinging himself back into the chair, oblivious to Artemis' obvious sigh of relief, "Notcool, bro. Asta e ceea ce am ajunge la rambursare pentru a vă ajuta să scape de ambreiaje lui Batman de-a lungul anilor? Nu se răcească deloc."
Robin cackled, swinging across the rafters with unnecessary flips that made Wally want to stop and gape. "KF, te îmbunătățește! Seful omul trebuie să mulțumit de progresul tău."
"Mulțumesc frate! Um, ne-am răcit cu totul săptămâna trecută?" Wally asked hesitantly, looking up at the hanging aerialist.
The ebony's face split into a grin and he stuck his tongue out at the speedster, "Du. Hai, Wally, tu știi că nu sunt Batman - clocit nu este atât de treaba mea Kinda ia departe de întreaga situație whelmed."
"Am să-ți spun că acel cuvânt nu se traduce bine," Wally sniffed primly, winking at the confused archer staring at the two of them. Artemis rolled her eyes, going back to her archery business. One could never know when they would be attacked, and she was so very done with the duo's antics.
Again, Robin cackled, flipping down from the rafters and landing on the couch with a thump. "Omule, acest lucru este atât de asterous! Putem avea conversații private și nimeni, dar Batman va înțelege!"
"De ce n- am fi lovit de raze mai devreme," Wally snorted, fist-bumping the Boy Wonder and flipping the page of his Vietnamese textbook.
"Bé trai," Artemis muttered, standing up to stretch and wandering into the kitchen to make a cup of her favorite herbal tea. Any more of this and she was likely to attack one of them.
"તેઓ હજુ પણ તમે મુશ્કેલી આપી છે?" M'gann asked sympathetically, floating down with a spice jar she'd grabbed from one of the higher cabinets where it had been stored. After all, dinner wasn't going to make itself, and the spare League members could only come around so often.
The blonde sighed, giving M'gann all the answer she needed. With a giggle, the martian poured a glass of boiling water and stuck in a tea bag, placing the teacup and a box of cookies on a platter and gesturing for Artemis to follow her. The smell of the herbal tea wafted in the air, so really, Artemis had no choice but to follow the telepath in order to get her much needed relief.
As they passed the living room, Artemis stuck her tongue out at the red head, smirking as he glared back at her. Robin gave her a small two finger salute and signature cackle-he seemed to do that a lot these days-pushing Wally off the couch, resulting in an undignified yelp. Artemis winked at the ebony, following M'gann around the corner to her room for the martian's mandatory 'girl-time'. It was nice to know where the hacker's loyalties laid.
"Whyyyyyyy didyou do that?" Wally whined, not bothering to speak Romanian now that Artemis was gone.
"Ați meritat cam asta, Kid gura," Robin quipped, doing a handstand on the back of the couch and pulling up another screen with computer code. Wally stared at it for a few moments, managing to make out some of the words before giving up. Romanian was one thing, but computers were still a bunch of mumbo-jumbo to him.
Wally huffed, crossing his arms with a pout, "That doesn't makemefeel any better."
"Nu a fost menit să," Robin smirked, suddenly sitting on the couch again and pulling out a game controller. "Dar cred că aș putea să te scutesc de un pic de timp pentru a face sa te simti chiar mai rau. Doar amintiți-vă că ușa neagră Canare este întotdeauna deschisă."
Wally whooped, speeding over to the tv to turn it on and grab one of his own before crashing back onto the couch. "Dude, after I crushyou, you're the one who's gonnaneed therapy."
Barbara Gordon sat on a stone bench at school, glaring at the cell phone in her hand. The screen blinked back at her, a red icon popping to inform her that, yep, her best friend had ignored yet another one of her calls. It had started out earlier that week, with him missing several days of school; it wasn't that big of a deal, Dick often had to go to some stupid high-society thing with Bruce, or was kidnapped.
...It was kind of sad that she was thinking about her best friend-being kidnapped, mind you-in such a casual sort of way. Eh, but that was Gotham. Barbara had been kidnapped a couple of times herself, thanks to her dad's position in the Police force.
But anyways, back to the point. Dick was blatantly ignoring her. No texts, no warning, just poof! Suddenly gone like the chocolate cake in the cafeteria. To say she was annoyed would be putting it mildly.
Finally, Barbara gave up, viciously chucking her cellphone in her bag and standing up. If Dick wasn't going to talk to her, she was gonna make. Him. Off to Wayne Manor it was!
...Assuming they were even home...just whelming Dick, really...
In the Cave's hanger, Conner stared at the white fluffy mass adjacent to him. Wolf stared back.
It was silent.
For what seemed to be the seventh or so time that night, Kaldur sighed, shifting from where had been meditating for the last three hours. He wasn't really sure what Conner and Wolf were doing, but he'd promised his friend that he would wait for him before he went out to the ocean.
And three hours was a really, really long time for one to wait; on that note, it was also a really long time for someone to stare at someone else.
"Conner, আপনি আমাকে অপেক্ষা বা আমি যেতে পারে জন্য কামনা করে? আমি মাছ যে আমি সাহায্য করবে তাদের সমুদ্রের পরিষ্কার প্রতিশ্রুতি," Kaldur called to Conner, shifting his weight again as the only acknowledgment he got was the slight twitch of the clone's shoulder. Perhaps-maybe Conner was only ignoring him because he couldn't understand him? Resisting the urge to cry at his own ignorance, Kaldur pulled out the communicator Batman had given him-each member of the team received one-and opened the special League-edition app. With slight difficulty (this device was not made for Atlantean's), Kaldur typed in his message and pressed the translate button.
"Do you wish for me to wait for you or may I go?" a cool feminine voice echoed in English, making the impervious boy jump.
Conner turned, seeming to see Kaldur for the first time. "Эй кош, ғамгин. Ya, пеш меравам, Гург ва ман танҳо гап," he nodded, giving Kaldur a faint smile and turning back to stare at Wolf.
Huffing in slight exasperation, Kaldur got to his feet, leaving the room with a grin (that nod was the only thing he could understand, translator or not; not even Superman could speak Kryptonian).
Thank goodness for Google translate.
Grinning, Barbara jumped off the bus, her bag clutched in one hand, the other waving merrily to the bus driver everyone called 'Santa'. With a purposeful stride, Barbara began the 3 mile trek to Dick's house, her gaze focused straight ahead as she took care to avoid making eye-contact with several of the shadier inhabitants of the street. She'd already phoned her dad, who gave her the a-okay to visit Dick, ("Dad, he's probably sick or been kidnapped again, and missing school work, I need to be there to support him!").
Finally, goodness that was like walking to computer science class, the large, gleaming metal gates came into view, and Barbara casually pressed the intercom. Immediately, a familiar british voice answered her, "Yes, Miss Barbara?"
Barbara jumped, still not used to the ninja-like skills Alfred possessed. "Hey Alfred! I was wondering if Dick was home? He hasn't been answering any of my texts and I wanted to make sure he was alright."
"That is very kind of you, Miss Gordon, and I shall be sure to notify him of your calls. Goodness knows I raised the boy with better manners than that. Unfortunately, Master Dick is away on business and will not be able to meet with you, but I am at liberty to inform you of the situation. Do you wish to come in?"
"Yes please!" Barbara grinned, waltzing past the gate doors as they slowly opened. Abandoning her brisk pace, the redhead sprinted the rest of the way to the door, her fist barely making contact with the dark stained wood before it swung open.
"Right this way Miss Barbara," Alfred smiled, guiding the girl down the hallway. As he turned back to close the door, Alfred frowned slightly, glancing up at one of the numerous hidden security cameras.
"I do hope you know what you are doing, Master Bruce," he murmured, following the chipper teen into the living room.
A/N
I hope you guys enjoyed! So, I know many of my stories have been shorter and less thought out, and that would be due to one thing-my stupidity. I've been typing up all my stories on my iphone, which not only takes forever, but also makes me lose sight of what I was thinking.
BUT! I actually wrote this out on my computer! Aren't you proud of me ;)
See y'all next week!
Kisses!

"Duh. C'mon, Wally, you know I'm not Batman-brooding is so not my thing. Kinda takes away from the whole whelmed situation."
"Dude, this is so asterous! We can have private conversations and nobody but Batman will understand!"
"You kinda deserved that one, Kid Mouth,"
"It wasn't meant to."
"But I suppose I could spare you a little time to make you feel even worse. Just remember that Black Canary's door is always open."

"Thanks bro! Um, we cool with the whole thing last week?"
"I'll have you know that that word does not translate well."
