You're too old for teen drama so get it together
"Are we seriously doing this?" Lian asked Aria as they dragged Skylar out of the cave, "no I don't want to talk to him" she complained to which Aria looked at her "mom please, I went so long without my parents together and I don't want the same for Mason, how do you think this is affecting him?" She knew it was a low blow but she had to at least get them in the same room.
"Can you atleast just get in a room with them for 5 minutes please? If not for dad then for me and Mase" she pleaded with her and she could see the conflict in her eyes, "fine" she sighed reluctantly following the two younger girls.
The state of her father and uncle was one she had seen many times in her life, mostly when they were in a funk or in Jason's case had a talk with Bruce.
"Oh god you smell" Lian held a hand up to her nose as Roy greeted her at the door. She spotted Jason not too far away in a similar state, "you smell worse and you look like hell" she told him, his hair was a mess and he had multiple cuts and bruises littered all over him.
"Daddy what happened are you okay?" Aria sat next to her father but not too close due to the heavy stench. "I'm fine, just got distracted" his eyes hesitantly met Skylar who looked mildly concerned.
"Okay I found a solution to one of the problems" Lian held up air freshener dousing it all over Roy and Jason. "There we go, that's one problem out of the way" making her way onto the love seat.
"Mom please sit come on" Aria sat her down but she scooted slightly away from Jason, Roy sat on the other side of him.
"Whatever the hell this is needs to get sorted out because Mason hasn't been home since this all went down" the trio looked all had looks of guilt on their faces "don't worry he's fine, he's been crashing with Mari" Aria told them worried about her little brother.
"What happened?" Lian asked and they all began at once "ah ba ba shhhhh, here you can talk only when you're holding the gun" Aria pulled out the gun from under the couch she was sat on.
She handed it to Skylar who began "he cheated on me with Roy" she glared accusingly at Jason "I.." Jason tried to defend but got cut off by Aria "are you holding the gun?" He shook his head "then don't talk, wait your turn" he sighed turning away.
"Back then it was different things were different, I thought I lost you to Roy and that hurt even more because he was brother, at once I lost the both of you but that didn't stop people from saying I was being over dramatic, I didn't do anything wrong yet somehow I ended up as the bad guy all of a sudden all these doubts started coming into my head about how you didn't love me anymore oh and the icing on the cake I found out I was pregnant and I could tell him because I thought you were leaving me!" She threw the gun back to me.
"Careful mom the safety's not on" She quickly flicked the switch, "okay that's how mom feels who would like to go next" Jason held his hand out waiting for the gun and just as it touched his hand he began sprouting an apology.
"Skylar baby I'm so sorry, I didn't know how much I hurt you, trust me since you've been gone I've been a total wreck without you. Do you see the state of me? At one point I just let the crooks beat me cause I thought I deserved it, it's been hell without you and I wanna do whatever it takes for you to forgive me but please come back to me, please" he held onto her hands shocking everyone when his voice cracked and he started begging. Something you'll never see Jason Todd do is get on his knees and beg but there he was in front of his wife begging for a second chance.
Skylars eyes flickered between the crying man in front of her and her twin brother who had yet to say anything. "Okay" she sighed out it pained her to see her husbands face so banged up and deep down she knew she was the cause of it.
"Just take care of yourself okay? I don't want to see you get hurt" she gently rubbed her thumb across his cheek her heart ached every time she saw him wince. "I'll try not to doll" he smiled at her showing his split lip, "come on love let's get you cleaned up and then we can go get Mason" she got up leading him into the bathroom leaving the two girls with Roy.
"Dad isn't there anything you'd like to say?" Lian looked at her father strangely, he was uncharacteristically quiet especially since this whole situation involving the two people he would defend til his last breath.
"It's not the place to say anything, they're together again and that's all that matters" the girls looked between themselves unsure.
"Come on just tell us" Aria urged "this whole thing was my fault" he mumbled "dad no it was a drunken mistake" Lian tried to make him feel better. "No it was half a drunken mistake" he told the girls confusion growing on their faces.
"Wait-" arias eyes grew wide "I wasn't drunk" Roy admitted looking down "Jay was completely shit faced when I kissed him I didn't think anyone would notice or even remember and to them it was too weird so they thought we were drunk and had no clue about what we were doing but I did I knew" he kept his eyes off the two girls in front of him afraid the guilt would burn through him with their stares.
"Why?" Was all Aria could ask she couldn't understand why her uncle would want to get between her parents like that. "To be honest, I don't know Jade had just left me and I always kinda liked Jay, used to like Jay he's my brother now and I guess I was just jealous of how perfect their relationship was and how mine went to shit" he finally looked between the two who looked at him in pity.
"They're better off not knowing, I kept it all to myself this long and it needs to stay that way so that they can be happy because if they're happy then I'm happy" Aria and Lian both sat on opposite sides of Roy engulfing him into a hug "we'll keep your secret" they sent him a secure smile assuring him.
Skylar and Jason came back and he was looking a lot better now that he was in clean clothes and his hair was partially tamed.
"I've got a question, we sorted all this out this time, so what happened back then?" Lian asked the twins turning to Jason who took it as his que to answer
"It was horrible, it was plain torture knowing that she knew and she did nothing, it made the guilt eat us alive, we were both begging for her forgiveness for weeks until she finally accepted it, it took even longer when we found out she was pregnant and she threatened to cut my balls off if I did that again drunk or not" he admitted wrapping his arms around his wife unwilling to let her go again.
Suddenly a beeping went off "my kids are having some sort of scrap I'm going to have to go" Aria stood up looking at her phone.
"Let me know how it goes with Mason" she kissed all three adults goodbye hugging Lian before running out the door.
As soon as she stepped back into the manor she found it surrounded in teenagers from the younger superhero teams. "What the hell is going on?" She mumbled finding Damian scowling in a corner.
"It was the only way they could convince their friends that they've reconciled" he shrugged watching as Henry kissed Liv "I may look young but I'll still beat you up" he yelled over but they both knew they couldn't hear him.
"I missed you" Henry breathed into her neck pulling her close "I'm pretty sure my dad wants to kill you right now" liv giggled glancing over to her father who was glaring at her boyfriend.
"You're dad loves me" Henry joked "yeah as much as he loves Tim" Damon added, it had been a couple hours and the separation anxiety had begun to subside slowly but that didn't stop him from staying within 2 meters from her.
"I don't want to go if they're still fighting Nora! Why are you so strong?" Luke groaned as he was dragged to the group.
"We're no longer fighting, we've kissed and we've made up" Olivia told him kissing Henry to emphasize her point.
"Aww yes! My otp is back together" he pulled them into a bear hug lifting them both off the ground while jumping.
"And the twins are besties again" he dropped Henry in favor of Damon who was squished next to Liv in the hug.
"So what's been new with you guys? I feel like it's been forever since we've talked" Luke sat on the floor besides the others who sat on the couches.
Livs eyes widened "I've got news Did you know that Jon's marrying mama?"
