Bluejay B0-9

I stumbled out of the Zeta Tube, hand pressed to my side.

Stupid dracaena.

"You okay Jay?"

I nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just tired. School starts up soon. So I'm enjoying my freedom while it lasts."

Well the slash in my side isn't helping anything.

But the first part is true. School starts tomorrow.

And I get to go to the prestigious Gotham Academy.

On a related note...why are the skirts so short?

They aren't even skorts. They're just plain old skirts.

I mean they aren't that short...but it's still shorter than I'd like.

"Well- Wait. Are you bleeding?!" Megan flew over to me and pulled my hand away from my side before gasping.

"Wally. Go get a medical kit. Now."

"I'm fine." I tried to walk away but stumbled again.

This time against Connor.

"Sorry. But I'm just tired guys. This is just a scratch."

Kaldur frowned. "It will not hurt to take a look at it. We should take her to the infirmary. We should make sure there is not anything else amiss with her health."

Wow.

If he wanted to know, he could have just asked.

Connor scooped me up and carried me to the infirmary...which honestly looks like a mini hospital.

He sat me on a cot and then the door opened.

"There you are. I was hoping to talk to Bluejay before Batman gave you your next mission."

"Black Canary, we-"

"Are you okay?" Kaldur whispered while the others were paying attention to Canary.

"I'll be fine. I've had worse."

I looked up at Canary. "What do you want?"

She shooed the others out before sitting across from me.

"You've been avoiding the Cave."

"I've been busy."

"Doing what?"

"Avoiding the Cave."

She sighed. "You suffered from a tragic event. Which lead to the movie being a catalyst for a flashback. I only want to understand what you need help with."

I stood up and walked to the door, ignoring her protests.

"I know one thing that's true. Showing weakness is never a good idea. I knew that since I was little. Then I relearned it."

And then I walked out and down to the main room.

Where Bruce was of course waiting.

I took my place beside Kaldur.

Black Canary walked over to my uncle and told him something in a hushed tones.

He nodded and them she disappeared... probably off to her little counselling room.

"So what are we doing today Bats?" I fixed my sunglasses...if we have to do anything to strenuous I'll try to heal up a bit.

Man does that sound like I'm in a video game or what?

"Not today. This is a long term mission. You are all to attend Gotham Academy as students, due to a number of contributing factors."

Schist.

"Robin will not be able to participate in this mission as he will be on a mission with me."

"Uh...Bats? I kinda...can't go to that school."

"Why not?"

"Well...my dad...kinda has me homeschooled...and he'd get really suspicious if I suddenly ended up going to an actual school. Especially one like Gotham Academy."

He narrowed his eyes. "You are excused. But you will show up if you are called."

Sweet. I can't believe that actually worked.

"Welp. I'm going to head home now. See you guys later." I walked over to the Zeta Tube...I don't want to get pulled into a conversation with Canary.

"Black Canary wants to speak with you."

"Nice to know!"

Bluejay B0-9

I reappeared in a random Zeta Tube.

Well...not really random this time around.

Cause I reappeared pretty close to home.

What?

I really don't want to waste my energy today.

Cause...

After a brief moment, Kaldur stepped out.

"Are you ready?"

"If I knew where we were going."

He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "That would ruin the surprise starfish."

I pouted, which only caused him to smile.

"I am not ruining all my hard work.

"Fine." I huffed. "Don't tell me."

"Come on." He grabbed my hand and led me through the city.

"Uh...the docks?"

Kaldur simply smiled before diving in the water.

Well that makes more sense.

I cannonballed in splashing him with the water.

At least I won't have to worry about that scratch anymore.

"This way." Kaldur disappeared under the surface.

Which by the way, I expected.

We swam for about thirty minutes...

By which I mean he swam. I hitched a piggy back ride.

I wasn't lying. I'm tired.

"Here we are."

I looked over his shoulder and saw a cute little underwater picnic set up.

I kissed his cheek. "You didn't have to do this."

"I wanted to."

Slowly I let go off him and sat in front of the basket.

He sat next to me before opening the basket.

Then he pulled out a type of fruit that I can't remember what it's called.

I think it's like a strawberry.

Also question. How can we tell if something's strawberry scented if strawberries don't have a smell?

Like...I cannot remember a time where I've ever actually smelt a strawberry.

Anyway...I swiped it from him.

And ate it.

He didn't protest though.

Instead he wrapped an arm around me.

"I am guessing you are going to Gotham Academy."

I nodded.

"Then you need to get a good night's sleep. First day is tomorrow."

Looking up at him, I leaned over and kissed him.

"Will you spend the night?"

"I do not think Bruce would-"

"Please?" I looked at him pleadingly.

He sighed.

"Maybe."

Welp.

I was trying to get a shiny Eevee for like four hours.

I'm going to go to bed...

(At least I was when I originally published cause that was at 11:40 or whatever last night)

And it's raining so yay!!!

But...

Any requests?

Oh and random question.

1)how many of you get your water from a spring or a well

2)which is better city water or spring/well water

Random thoughts that pop into my sleep deprived mind.

So yeah...

Apparently it didn't all publish...

So let's hope it works this time

And tell your mothers you love them

Or thanks for giving birth to you

Or something

Anyway

See yah
