Chapter 2: Redheads Unite
His bed was cold. What was going on? The bed was never cold, nor was it ever so open and empty before. No, not before he met Kori.
Usually Dick loved that crisp cold feeling of an empty bed. It was just one less thing to worry about the night after. But now being who he was, and loving who he was with, it wasn't a welcomed feeling anymore.
Dick felt his breath hitch when he moved his leg slowly across the mattress. He knew it wasn't his bed, but rather the mansion's bedroom mattress. The cushion was firmer. He wasn't so set off about the bed being more lumpy, but rather where his girlfriend was.
Ever since Dick and Kori had engaged, she would be lured into his bedroom for a late night cuddle. He would usually be sprawled around the bed with an uncomfortable position and a hard night of sleep. With Kori, he would drape a hand over her slim waist and bury his face in the crook of her neck while she snuggled onto his chest.
He slept more peacefully with her.
Dick knew something was wrong when he didn't sense her warm presence. That cold shiver ran up his back like someone had slipped a chunk of ice down his spine. He detected another bad sign when he had no Kori to hold to his body and feel a sense of overwhelming protectiveness over.
With a groan, Dick stood up and stretched. What time was it? He glanced at the table beside his bed and grabbed his phone. It was relatively early in the morning. Dick looked at the bed that was supposed to be Kori's, to see it was empty too. Giving a sigh, Dick glanced at his empty bed one more time before walking out into the hallway.
The hallway glowed in the early morning light. The sun was just beginning to rise, so Dick considered that Kori must have slipped to the roof to watch. He grinned at the thought and took the usual route to the roof.
You can imagine the frown made when he saw that the roof was empty.
Dick seethed a long hiss and made his way back down the steps. Walking past the room the producers worked in, he stomped towards the kitchen.
"Oh, really now?"
Dick stopped cold at the voice. What was he doing up so early?!
"Yes indeed! It was most amusing!"
Wait...what was she doing with him?!
"Yeah, that sounds like something Dickie-boy would do."
Okay, now this was getting weird.
Dick poked his head into the kitchen to see three things that didn't fit well with him. One was his adoptive brother Jason being with his fiancée Kori. The other was that Wally was with them and they all sat close together in a compact space on stools. They were all gathered and sipping coffee and talking to each other laughing.
What was this?
"So I remember this one time Richy and I were at the playground and there was this chick named Barbara or Babs, that he use to have a huge crush on. Anyways, he wanted to impress her so bad that he tried to flip himself off the swing, but he tripped last second and broke his arm!" Jason snorted. Kori and Wally laughed hysterically and tried to cover up their mirth by pressing their hands to their mouths. Sadly, they were unsuccessful in not only covering up their laughter, but loudness as well.
"Oh my god! Sometimes Dick does the stupidest shit to impress redheads." Jason continued. Wally chuckled lightly and pointed to himself.
"Mm-hmm! You don't even want to know what he had to do to get me!"
"Oh shut up you hyperactive speedster." Jason retorted to the sarcastic Wally. Kori giggled and everyone else laughed.
"So, how did my brother swoop a hottie like you up?" Jason asked with a wiggle to his eyebrows. Kori smiled at him and looked at Wally who glared at Jason momentarily.
"I believe it was his charm and personality that made me fall for him. He is most handsome as well." Kori said with a blush.
"Mm, okay. It's good that he's loved for him and not for the fame and fortune." Jason said. "Anyways, do any of you guys notice when Dick eats, he eats the food that he doesn't like slowly, but when he eats the food he does like it's like watching a chipmunk shove nuts in its face."
Wally doubled over in laughter along with Kori and nodded. "Yes! He especially does it with circus peanuts. He'll stuff his face full of those."
"I never took him to enjoy nuts in his mouth so much." Mused Jason evilly. Wally and Kori both scrunched their eyebrows, before the dirty joke finally clarified somewhere in Wally's head. He laughed loudly as Kori looked on confused, but content to continue the conversation.
"Agreed. Richard finds satisfaction in most circus cuisines. I believe that the cotton candy is his favorite." Kori supplied.
"Ah yes, the sweet pink sugary dessert. Man I love gossiping over boss. We should do it more often." Wally cooed hardily. He leaned forward to Kori and Jason and sipped his coffee.
"It is most entertaining." Kori chirped with a giggle. Jason and Wally chuckled at her.
Jason glanced towards the wall and saw a curious Dick Grayson ease dropping. Of course Dick was excellent at hiding, but Jason was excellent at finding. Noticing his brother, Jason smirked and leaned closer towards Kori.
"So Kori, is my brother's butt as amazing as all of the girls say it is?"
Kori went wide eyed and Wally began to choke on his coffee at the comment. Jason chuckled at the reaction he had caused and watched as the two redheads tried to recover.
"I-"
"Okay! We're done here! No more gossiping about Grayson!" Dick yelled walking in.
"EEEEP! Oh X'hal Richard! How long have you been listening?" Kori asked after she had been scared half to death. Wally had fallen out of his chair in shock of the eavesdropper revealing himself and Jason simply laughed.
"Long enough. Why are y'all gossiping about me anyway?"
"Well...let me explain." Wally began. "See, me and Legs were asleep when Jason came in and woke us up. Since Jason, Kori, and I are the closest people to you, we decided to tell stories about you and stuff. Jason gathered me and her to just chill and junk."
"So you woke Kori and Wally up to share embarrassing stories about me?" Dick asked pointing to Jason. Jason held up his hands in defense, but soon dropped the innocent act when he began to laugh.
"Yeah, I did. I learned some interesting stuff too. Like how you love to cuddle."
Dick's jaw dropped and Wally fell out of his chair again laughing too hard. "STAR! Did you have to tell him that?!"
Kori giggled hysterically while Dick flushed a bright red. The three continued to laugh while leaving Richard to grumble.
"I can't leave you three alone together ever again."
"Yup because me and extra crispy will just grab Legs and tell stories again." Wally laughed. Dick rose an eyebrow.
"Extra crispy?"
"Yeah!" Wally began happily. He pointed to Dick. "You're original style!" He pointed to Jason. "And he's extra crispy!"
"I am?"
"He's what?"
"Ah, no matter." Wally dismissed the two brothers. Standing up, Wally stretched and grabbed Kori's hand.
"C'mon Legs, let me take you somewhere we can have fun while original style and extra crispy get more acquainted." Wally said goofily.
"Where are you going with my fiancée Wally?!" Dick screamed while Jason looked puzzled.
"Not just him. Us."
Dick blinked in surprise when he saw Roy pop into the kitchen with a smile. Jason's baffled expression multiplied while Dick scoffed.
"What the hell are you guys doing?" Dick asked. Roy and Wally placed their arms around Kori's shoulder and grinned.
"We're having the first official meeting of RHU." Wally announced proudly. Dick and Jason snorted.
"The Wha?" Jason asked. Roy laughed at him.
"Wally had some horrendous idea of me, Kori, and him all starting a group called the Red Heads Unite. He just wants to hang out with all the redheads today." Roy explained.
"Yeah! Legs and Roy are going to hang out with yours truly while the rest of you guys do...I don't know, something, I guess." Wally rambled on.
"What?!" Dick asked still incredulous at the entire situation. Roy chuckled.
"We're going to leave the mansion for the day and hang out with each other." Roy sympathized.
"But-"
"Richard, it shall be alright. It will be most glorious for me to do the hanging out with Wally and Roy." Kori cooed. Dick grimaced and Jason snorted loudly.
"What the heck are y'all going to do anyway? There's nothing relatively entertaining around here." Jason stated.
Roy paused at this and looked at Wally. "What are we going to do anyways?"
Wally shrugged. "Probably get arrested."
"WALLACE RUDOLPH WEST!"
Wally paled a considerable amount at the sound of Jenn's angry voice from the banister. Apparently she had heard enough. Looking at Dick, he saw a similar expression of anger and decided it was best to bail.
"C'MON AUTOBOTS LETS ROLL OUT!" Wally screamed. He dashed to the doorway and saw Roy looked at him confusingly while running.
"Autobots? Really Wally? Really?!"
"Oh shut up carrot top it's cool!" Wally retorted opening the door. Kori quickly ran to Wally's red SUV and jumped into the passenger seat giggling madly. Roy hopped into the back and Wally tripped into the drivers seat. They all fumbled to put their seat belts on and Wally had just placed his key in when Jenn and Dick ran out of the mansion.
"FLOOR IT! FLOOR IT!" Roy screamed. Wally screeched similar to a pterodactyl and pressed his foot to the gas.
"WE'RE LEAVING IN NEGATIVE SIX SECONDS!" With a howl, Wally's car darted across the lawn with Jenn hot on his tails surprisingly.
Roy glanced at Wally from the passenger seat and panicked, "I thought you were the fast one!"
Glancing into the rear view mirror, Wally screeched. "GET READY FOR MAXIMUM OVER DRIVE!"
Wally slammed his foot against the pedal and drifted out of the driveway. Kori and Roy high fived and the impossible had happened.
There was a moment of silence in the RHU vehicle. Maybe almost dying by your crazy girlfriend could make you shut up for a moment.
A moment.
Roy glanced at Wally and snickered, coyly asking,"So...Rudolph, huh?"
"GODAMMIT!"
