Black and Gold
You groaned as the sunlight shined through your window and right on your face. You lowered yourself behind Cassandra and smiled since she was now blocking the sun. That was until she sat up and yawned.
Cassandra: Wake up.
She poked your face which made you open one eye.
Y/N: Why?
Cassandra: We need to get ready.
Y/N: Ready for what? It's Monday. We don't go to school anymore.
Cassandra: You do this week.
Your eyes shot open when you suddenly remembered what week it was. As a part of the Wayne Initiative, you were to spend a week at Gotham Academy giving lectures on business, the economy, and agriculture. Yep. Just because Batman gets to sleep during the day doesn't mean Y/N Wayne has responsibilities.
Y/N: Can I, can I call in sick?
Cassandra got out of bed and you watched her as she entered the bathroom. You then heard the shower turn on meaning the answer to your question, was no. You groaned as you sat up from the bed and rubbed your eyes. As you dragged yourself out of bed, you heard something in the living room. But if you were here, and Cassandra was in the bathroom.....intruder!
Y/N: Yes!
You opened the drawer of your nightstand and pulled out the Bat-Taser before standing up and sneaking over to the bedroom door. You slowly opened it and peeked into the living room, only to find Booster on the couch.
Booster: Hey, Bats!
Y/N: Booster? What are you doing in my apartment?
Booster: Eating your cereal.
Y/N: And why are you eating my cereal?
Booster: Because I need the extra fuel for my mission today. The one you're gonna help me with.
You looked at him for a moment, before turning back to your room. Booster stood there and waited until you walked out in your uniform.
Booster: You're not even going to ask me what the mission is?
Y/N: Does it even matter?
Booster thought about it and shook his head. He stood up and held out the box of ceral towards you which you gladly took. You poured some in your mouth and lifted your head.
Y/N: Milk.
Booster poured some milk into your mouth as the bedroom door opened and Cassandra stepped out, now dressed, and looked at you. You and Booster froze in place as you looked back at her.
Cassandra: Do I want to know?
You and Booster shook your heads. Cassandra sighed and pulled out her phone.
Cassandra: Hello, Headmaster Hammerhead. This is Cassandra Cain..... Yes....Y/N will need to reschedule the presentation to later today......yes.....urgent business came up.......ok. Thank you.
She hung up and turned back to you.
Cassandra: The presentation is at 6 PM. Don't be late.
You swallowed the rest of the ceral and quickly kissed her cheek before you and Booster left through the window.
Y/N: Thanks! Love you!
-------
Y/N: You're kidding.
Booster: Do I look like I'm kidding?
Y/N: It stalled?
Booster: It happens.
The two of you were inside of Booster's friend's, Blue Beetle, time machine. Now normally a time machine in this kind of story would be a godsend. Well, not really. The way Booster had explained it to you, the machine can only go backwards in time and then forward to the present. How did that work? Hell if you knew.
Y/N: It stalled?! I mean, I've heard of imprecise science, but this is ridiculous.
Booster: Whatever. I have a portable time machine so we can still go places.
You just sighed as he pulled out a handheld device.
Y/N: I should've asked this before but, why couldn't Blue Beetle help you with this?
Booster: He was busy with some nerd thing. Now, ever been to the 1950's?
Y/N: Pretty sure I said this but, the Fonz is a fictional character.
Booster: That's just mean. We're going to 1952. I have some investigating to do and who better to help me than the world's greatest detective?
He clicked a button and the two of you were blinded by a bright light before you found yourself in the middle of a desert. Looking around, you spotted a military base where there was a rocket.
Booster: Not the fifties ambiance I was looking for. Imprecise science at work again.
Y/N: Where the hell are we? Arizona? New Mexico?
Booster: We're not gonna find out perched up here in the middle of no where.
He started to fly up and you decides to follow with your rocket boots that you haven't been able to use for a while.
Booster: If I learned anything while hanging with Rip Hunter, it's that all roads lead to somewhere.
Y/N: Then let's get to it.
As you both flew away, an unseen man radioed into his commanding officers.
Grunt: You hesrd right. Two capes. Just appeared out of thin air. Damn near gave me a heart attack.....How the hell should I know which ones?! The gold one with goggles and some kind of, I think it's a bat? They're heading to town. Both of them are flying no less.
-----------
Booster: Circus. Right.
You and Booster were now in a gas station and looking at a map. The town you ended up in was called Mosely in the state of Nevada. Population, 252.
Cashier: Figured as much. Bit off the beaten track, aint'cha?
Y/N: My friend here isn't very good at directions.
You weren't entirwly wrong. Booster has yet to tell you why you were here. Hell, you haven't even had time to ask him about the impending Time Crisis.
Cashier: Where's it you're trying to get go?
Booster: Um....Vegas?
Cashier: Vegas? Gonna set up in Las Vegas? Why the hell would you wanna go 'n' do that?
Booster: Because it's Vegas?
Cashier: Best be telling whoever it is who books your gigs that you been had. Folks in Vegas got better things to do than seeing some circus.
Y/N: Yeah. I'll be sure to tell someone.
???: I think your ring thing is broken.
You and Booster looked over at the entrance to see that a woman had entered the store. The cashier put on his best smile as she approached the counter.
Cashier: Gruh, yeah. Been meaning to look into that. Fill 'er?
Woman: Please.
The cashier left the counter and headed outside to fill up the car. The woman then turned to you and Booster.
Woman: Interesting look.
Y/N: We're with the circus.
Woman: Carnies, last I checked, don't fly.
She then pulled out a badge and held it up to you and Booster. Government.
Booster: You're not here for gas, are you?
Woman: Consider this killing two birds with one stone. Easy or hard way.
Booster: None of the above?
Y/N: I full heartily agree.
You grabbed a nearby can and threw it at the woman which knocked her out. Booster covered his mouth in shock before he turned to you.
Booster: Did you just...
Y/N: I meant to throw it through the window. My aim has been a bit shaky lately. Uh, we should go.
You and Booster grabbed the map and ran out the store before you booked it down the street. You needed to get out of here.
---------
You and Booster were now hunched over in an alleyway trying to catch your breath as the police swept the city for you and fhe golden hero.
Y/N: Booster, I hate you.
Booster: You're the one who threw a can of food at a woman!
Y/N: And you're the one who brought us here. Why are we here anyway? You said we need to investigate something.
Booster: We do! Kinda.
You slowly turned to him with a furious look on your face.
Y/N: Kinda?
Booster shurgged.
Booster: I mean, yeah. Kinda.
You grabbed him by the collar and lokked into his eyes.
Y/N: You better explain why we're here or I will find another food can.
Booster gently pushed you off of him and sighed. He rubbed the back of his neck.
Booster: I just, wanted to hang out you. I mean, ever since you lost your memories, we haven't hung out! Back in the day we were home boys. Now, we're just strangers.
You looked at him for a moment before you sighed.
Y/N: Booster, you know you can do what everyone else does. CALL ME AND SEE IF I'M FREE! You didn't have to send us back to the 50's!
Booster: Yeah. Thinking about it now, maybe this wasn't the best idea.
You shook your head and looked back at the golden hero.
Y/N: Look, how about we go find us a dinner in some city and get some milkshakes. You can even do that hip bump on the jukebox. After that, we need to head back to the presnt. I have a presentation to prepare for.
Booster smiled a bit as he pulled out his device.
Booster: Alright. I'm looking for one now.
---------
Cassandra was sitting cross-legged on the couch while watching her shows when a bright light appeared in the apartment. She looked over and saw you and Booster standing there with leather jackets and smiles on your faces.
Y/N: That was, actually kind of fun.
Booster: I know! I mean, how often do you get to do something totally cool?
Y/N: Well, I have to get ready now. We should do this again, though.
You and Booster high-fived before Booster flew toward the window.
Booster: Thanks for letting me steal your boyfriend for the day!
Cassandra just waved as he flew away. You pulled off your jacket and tossed it onto the coat hanger before you spotted the suit set out for you on your door.
Cassandra: Get dressed. You have a presentation.
You nodded and grabbed the suit.
