Issue #33: Friendship
"I'm impressed. I think that's the most you've ever hit me. Frost, how many times was that?"
"That was 9 for (Y,N) and I lost track of how many times you hit him." Caitlin said with her arms folded. "Also, I have a name. You don't have to keep calling me 'Frost'."
"That's good to know." Canary said before helping me back up to my feet. "Anyway I still don't think you're-" I cut her off by jabbing my hand into her throat. She let go of me and I threw my hands up in victory.
"AHA! TEN! SCREW Y-" I began to say before she punched me in the gut so far I fell to my knees and threw up a little as she held her throat making choking sounds.
"Alright, this is getting sad now. Are you two ladies done yet?" Caitlin said.
"You could've... kill me... asshole!" Canary said with a raspy voice.
"You're going to be fine." Caitlin rolled her eyes.
"How do you... know!?" Canary asked.
"I was a doctor before I was a heat vampire."
"You were a doctor?" I asked before coughing. "How come This is the first time I'm ever hearing about this?"
"It never came up." Caitlin shrugged.
"What about that time everyone on the Squad got their shit pushed in by The Society?"
"I took care of you at least, didn't I?"
"True. Remember when you and Harley got into that fight?"
"Yeah." Caitlin laughed. "Good... times..." Caitlin looked away, upset.
"I doubt hanging out with Harley Quinn and Captain Boomerang was all that fun." Canary said.
"That's because you weren't in The Squad. Being held there against our wills bonded us together in some twisted way." I told her.
"He's right. For some reason I even miss Captain Kangaroo and Clown Girl Number 2."
"'Clown Girl Number 2'?" Canary asked.
"Long story." Caitlin and I said at the same time.
"I wonder how the group's doing now." I said before looking at Canary. "Anyway, as much fun as getting my ass kicked is, I'm still much more proficient in shooting and throwing things. So what exactly am I supposed to shoot if I'm not allowed to use guns?"
"Simple: You'll be using these-" A batarang wizzed passed my face and into the wall. I looked over to see Barbara with a smile on her face. She showed off a bunch of other batarangs in her hand that were all different colors and a group of metals spheres in her other hand. "I'll show you how to use them later."
"Is there any reason you're here, Barbara?" Canary asked.
"Uh, kinda." Supergirl peaked her head into the training room, too. "Hi! I was kinda wondering if (Y,N) and Caitlin wanted to come hang out with me and Babs for a little while? We were planning on going out to eat and stuff and I thought it'd be great to bring you guys along with us as an apology for almost killing you."
"Problem with that: according to the public, I'm still notorious murderer Killer Frost who's been at large for over a year now if Waller successfully made it look like I was teaming with the rest of the Squad for shits and giggles."
"Speaking of Waller she's probably still hunting down the both of us."
"I think she'll be a little more preoccupied with another one of your team mates." Supergirl said.
"Whaddya mean?" I asked.
"That's not important right now." Barbara said.
"Still, Another Problem." Caitlin said showing her hand. "Blue Skin. Can't really go for a stroll in the town anymore."
"Oh." Supergirl said disappointingly. "What about you, (Y,N)?"
"It'll Get you out of the Watchtower even sooner than Batman Inc. will~." Barbara said trying to sweeten the deal. I looked at Caitlin.
"Can I?" I asked her.
"What is she, your mom?" Canary let out a laugh. Caitlin glared at her before looking st me.
"Sure, why not. You're the one she almost killed, after all." She said. "But, here's to hoping we can all actually hang out together sometime in the future." Caitlin muttered. I saw her face go slightly red in embarrassment.
"Why, Snowflake, are you going soft on me?" I asked her.
"Shut up." She said before kissing me on the cheek.
"Okay, one more question: what am I going to wear?" I asked.
. . .
"When I get back on the Watchtower I'm burning the top." I muttered to myself. I was in the bathroom at Barbara's house. Supergirl picked out all of my clothes. She did kind of a good job. The light brown coat was nice, kinda like something Jason would wear. The jeans were a nice shade of blue. However, she got me a... Flash shirt. And some stupid hipster sneakers and a black and white scarf... Alright, the scarf was okay, just not with this costume. I didn't even try to put on the fedora.
"Hey! Flash, is a very good friend of mine! Also, didn't he like, save your life?" Supergirl asked.
"God, everyone else brings it up so much I can only imagine how much that jerkoff is gonna bring it up." I said opening the door. "How do I look?" I asked Supergirl. Supergirl was in a plain white t shirt and red flannel with short shorts and white sneakers on.
"Uhhhhhh, g-good- you look... good." She said blushing a little. She turned around and started muttering something repeatedly.
"Uh, are you o-"
"I'm fine! Totally!" She said turning around with a wide smile.
"Really? Because it sounded like you kept repeating 'Remember, he has a girlfriend' over and over." I said.
"What!? Why would I say that, that's dumb!" She nervously laughed. I just shrugged.
"Is Barbara almost done, yet?" I asked.
"Still getting ready!" She said from the other side of the door to her bedroom.
"Are you sure your dad isn't gonna come back and kick my ass?"
"He's out with Bruce right now, something about Two-Face. Bruce told me to sit this one out." Barbara explained.
"Oh." I said looking around. It was a nice place. Guess this is what a commissioner's salary gets you. I looked over to Supergirl. "So like, I don't really know much about you."
"I guess we should fix that, huh?" She laughed. "What do you want to know?"
"Well first off, I should probably learn your n-" I said before there was a knocking on the door.
"Could one of you go get that?" Barbara asked.
"I'll go." I said rolling my eyes before walking downstairs. I opened the door to see some dude with black hair and a dumb haircut. Glad being back in Gotham. "Hey, Barbara's getting changed and we're about to head out for the night so could you do her a favor and come back tomor-" I said before I dude punCHED ME IN THE FACE!?
