Normal Lives Pt. 2

You rubbed the back of your neck as you and Tim walked down the street to the nearby Cafe he had found. You were finally going to tell him about you and Stephanie. It was time. It had to be. You couldn't hide this forever so you might as well get it over with. You had given the night off to everyone so they could recover from both yesterday's patrol and school. God, school was awful.

Tim: Thanks for coming out with me. Everyone else just said no.

Y/N: Yeah. I, uh, am glad that you guys are comfortable with me again.

Tim: I already told you that we were cool. You're my bro.

He punched your shoulder and smiled while you awkwardly smiled back. Yeah, this was rough. You finally made it to the Cafe and walked up to the counter. You both placed your orders and Tim paid for both of them. Yeah, he's not making this any easier. You both sat down and you began to tap on the table.

Tim: So did you hear about that new update for Starcraft?

Y/N: I've already played all of them man. From the future remember?

Tim: Oh yeah. I kinda forget that sometimes.

Aaaaaaaaand que the awkward silence......

Y/N: What about those military guys? Pretty crazy huh?

Tim: Oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah that was really weird. Apparently the government placed Gotham as a hot spot for underage vigilantism. Same for San Francisco.

Makes senes. The Titans were there and the Bat Brats were here. Everyone else was pretty much spread out across the globe.

Y/N: It kinda makes you think. Like, what if the hero is doing so as a spiritual calling or maybe they aren't from this world. I mean, what if they're a Green Lantern? The governor can't really control that can they?

Tim: I'm sure they would find a way.

Right. Government. Whatever. That wasn't what you brought him to talk about.

Y/N: Hey, uh, I wanted to say something. I felt that you should know about this.

Tim: What's up?

Your drinks were called and you got up to grab them. You returned and gave Tim his. As he drank, you took a deep breath.

Y/N: Me and Stephenie are seeing each other.

Tim froze and looked up at you. He slowly sat his cup down and slowly nodded.

Tim: Cool.

Y/N: Cool?

Tim: Yeah. Cool.

Y/N: Cool.

Tim: I mean, it's cool. I'm happy for you guys. You guys, are happy, right?

Y/N: I am. I think she is to. She seems happy.

Tim: Then it's cool.

Y/N: Cool.

You both sat there for a moment while your drink sat untouched. You slowly took a sip before you set it back down.

Tim: I honestly thought you would've ended up with Cassandra.

You looked up.

Y/N: Cassandra? Why's that?

Tim: Just cause you two always seemed close. Even before the time wipe.

You thought back on the quiet girl. The two of you were good partners and you did have that moment in the garden. Regardless, you didn't know if you saw her in a romantic way. Plus, you were with Stephanie now.

Tim: Or Debra. Hell, I figured you would get back with Helena.

You really did have a lot of women in your life. You blamed Bruce. No clue why, just felt like it was somehow his fault.

Y/N: Yeah well, I'm just glad to get that off my chest. Thanks for being cool about it.

Tim: Yeah man. I mean, we're not dating and you guys are going to do what you guys will do. I just ask that you take care of her.

You smiled.

Y/N: I will bud. You have my word.--------Stephanie rested her head on your chest as the movie played on the laptop you had bought on your way back from the Cafe. It felt nice to not have to hide your relationship from anyone anymore. She hummed as she nuzzle closer to you.

Y/N: You seem happy.

Stephanie: Why wouldn't I be? Everything seems to be going good.

Y/N: Minus the fact that we're outlaws.

Stephanie: There is that.

You both laughed as she rolled to her stomach. You placed the forgotten laptop to the side as she looked up at you with a smile.

Y/N: Hey, babe.

Stephanie rolled her eyes before she lifted herself up enough to kiss you.

Stephanie: Hey, babe.

You smirked as you kissed her again. The two of you laid there with each other as both of you found your hands roaming. Before things could get too heated, there was a knock on your door. You and Stephanie sighed and stayed quiet as you hoped that whoever it was would leave. There was another knock.

Y/N: Coming.

Stephanie got off you and you walked over to the door. You cracked it open enough to see Debra standing there.

Y/N: Hey. You need something?

Debra: Yeah. I got a text from my sister.

You raised a brow.

Y/N: Dee? What does she want?

Debra: Well, she said that Ten and Catwoman wanted to talk to you.

You opened the door all the way and looked at her confused.

Y/N: Why do they want to talk to me?

Debra: I have no idea. They said that they need Batman. Their Batman. That's you.

You just groaned.

Y/N: Tell them I'll meet them tomorrow. I'm off duty tonight.

Debra: I'll be sure to let them know. Oh, and, uh, here.

She handed you something.

Debra: You might need it.

She smirked before walking away. You closed your door and looked at what she had gave you. Your eyes went wide when you saa it was a condom. You looked up at Stephanie who was still laying there.

Stephanie: Something wrong?

Y/N: Uh, no. I don't think so.

You ticked the wrapper in your pocket. You walked over and sat on the bed before you looked back to Stephanie.

Y/N: Hey, you know that I won't ever push you to do things you don't want to do, right?

Stephanie: Of course. What's bringing this up?

Y/N: Nothing. Just, wanted to let you know. I really care for you.

Stephanie: I care for you to Y/N. Is everything ok?

You looked at her as another headache hit you.

You shook your head to get rid of, whatever that was.

Y/N: Yeah. I just felt like I should tell you that. Cause it's true.

Stephanie wrapped her arms around you which you returned. You closed your eyes and embraced her warmth.

Y/N: If you ever need to talk or anything, I'm here. Just take this at your speed.

Stephanie: Thank you. I'm here for you to.

Y/N: Thanks.

You were with your girlfriend and you felt so, safe. So happy. Stephanie then lifted her head and smirked as she whispered.

Stephanie: I saw what Debra gave you.

Your cheeks heated up as she pulled back and kissed your cheek. When you could see her again, you saw that she was blushing to.

Stephanie: So, how about we use it?

Y/N: Use it?

Stephanie: W-Well, we have it. We might as well u-use it.

You couldn't help but smile.

Y/N: Alright then. Only if you want to.

Stephanie kissed you before she nodded.

Stephanie: I do. So, let's get this awful shirt off you.

You laughed as you looked at your shirt.

Y/N: I love this shirt! This is my favorite shirt!

Stephanie: It's hideous and needs to go.

You rolled your eyes before you kissed her.

Outside the room, Helena froze. She couldn't help but feel a small ping of jealousy in her gut. She wiped the stray tear from her eye before she walked away.
