-requested by the wonderful WallyandDick ! I loved writing this!-

-AU where the team dating itself.-

"Kissy kissy." Dick said.

"No."

"No, Kissy kissy!" The teen ordered, planting a kiss on his (boy)friend's cheek. 

"If you want to kiss someone, kiss Wally." 

"Fine!" Dick flounced over to the redhead. "Wally! Kiss!" 

The speedster planted a peck on his cheek. "Pass that on to M'gann."

"Kay." He skipped over. "Come down here."

M'gann, who was reading mid air, flipped upside down. Dick pecked her, Spiderman style.

"Mmm Lipsmacker Kiwi ." She observed, licking her lips. "Mixed with.... what's that other one?"

"EOS Strawberry sherbet." He replied. 

"Mmm." She reached out  a hand, still reading, signaling for him to pass. "Lemme try." 

Dick passed the chapstick and watched her apply it. "So, How'd the presentation go?" 

"Good." She replied. "but the audience reactions were a little disappointing."

 "Well you were presenting on the Bush administration at eight am." Artemis remarked, returning from the gym, unraveling the tape on her knuckles. 

Wally laughed sharply, opening his soda. "I got a Bush administration right here for you!"

"Wally, you're such a fuck." Artemis said. She groggily smacked Wally's ass and grabbed a water bottle from the fridge.

"Pudding cup?"

"no." She replied.

"please?" Wally asked. Artemis sighed, taking out a chocolate pudding cup and tossing it to him. "thank you, you're the best!" He planted a kiss on her cheek. "Ew, you're sweaty."

"I know. I'm gonna shower."

"Can I come?" M'gann asked. 

"Sure, but you have to share your bodywash."

"Well, you were going to use it anyways..." The Martian swooped down after her, dropping her book next to Conner on the couch as she left.

Conner turned up the white noise to account for two people leaving, then turned it down to account for Kaldur entering the room. 

"Greetings, my liege." Dick curtsied. "I have to practice for gymnastics semifinals, can you spot for me?"

"You need to practice? You're a Robin!" Wally said, struggling to open his pudding cup. He eventually tore the foil off and dug in.

"Yeah, but I have to rehearse our routines." Dick replied. "Whatdayousay, Kaldur?"

"I can spot for you." He confirmed, following Dick towards the gym, but he paused briefly next to the couch. 
"How was school?"

"mhmm." Conner grunted, comforted by Kaldur's presence.

"I'm here if you need to talk."

"mmmg."

Kaldur hurried after Dick, leaving Conner and Wally. The redhead started licking out the inside of his pudding cup. "What happened?"

"Nothing."

"Come on, talk." The speedster pried. Conner didn't reply. "something happened at  school?"

"Mhmm." Conner confirmed. Wally was learning how to decipher his grunts.

"Was it a test or something? Is your teacher being a dick?"

"Mmnn."

"Are your classmates being dicks?" Silence, that was a hard yes. "Talking loud and hurting your ears? Asking stupid questions?"

"mmnn."

"Were they being mean to you or M'gann?" Silence again. Wally felt his chest surge forwards a little, and his stomach suck in. "What did they do?"

"mmmmg."

"Use words, dude! Are these the assholes who said M'gann was a T-R-A-N-N-Y?" He ordered. "Conner, were these the guys who called you the R word?"
Dead silence, Conner stood stiffly, staring in at the wall with emotion Wally couldn't discern.
"I'm gonna kill those motherfuckers."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What's it called again?"

"Rose, sea salt, peonies."

"that's just a Grocery list." Artemis replied, lathering the body wash in her hands and taking a whiff. "SO GOOD."

"Robin saw me using Dollar store toiletries ad bought me a whole set of high-end stuff." M'gann sighed. "He's so sweet!"

"I mean, he's a bitch, but, yeah. I guess." She muttered, pulling her hair up. "Can you pass a hair tie, Darlin'?"

M'gann pulled Artemis' hair back in a scrunchie, fitting into the shower next to her. "Can I paint your nails tonight?"

"Sure." Artemis said, washing off her sweat. "Where'd you learn to paint nails?"

"Wally." They replied, lathering their hands with shampoo. "Can I wash your hair?"

"But it takes forever to dry!" Artemis groaned.

"Please? I'll use the really nice shampoo Robin gave me?"

"Are you buttering me up for a reason?" Artemis asked, pulling her hair down again and letting it soak in the water. "Do you want help with your Socials homework?"

"Yes please." M'gann replied. "Now stay still, I'm pampering you."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Three... two..." Dick caught himself on the spring mat. "...AND he sticks the landing!"

Kaldur gave polite applause. "You look very professional."

"I am!" Dick replied, taking a water-break. "So, how was Atlantis?"

"Atlantis is fie."

"Hey, what's up?" Dick asked. "Something wrong down under?"

"Nothing serious." Kaldur reported.

"Come on, what's going on? Trouble with your family? Friends? Not to pry, but you know..."

"You wouldn't understand my issues from home."

Dick was intrigued. He set down his water bottle and patted the mat next to him. "Break it down for me; explain it all."

There was a pause, but Kaldur sat cross-legged on the mat. "In much of Atlantis, there is a divide between the human-looking Atlanteans ad those with diverse features..." He tested the waters, so to speak.

"Racism, I think I follow. Go on."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That one?"

"No."

"That one?"

"No."

"That one?" 

"...maybe. I can't tell." 

Wally nodded. "Let's ask M'gann to be sure."

"Okay." Conner got up, following him to the woman's room. Wally knocked politely. "M'gann?"

"She can't hear you." Conner pushed the door opening, entering the room, and then the shower.

"Conner! hey!" M'gann was barely surprised anymore.

"Wally has a question." He said.

"I'm covering my eyes..." Wally said, stumbling in with his phone out. "Is this one of the guys who was giving you trouble? Name of Flynn Springthorp?"

M'gann leaned in, squinting at the foggy screen. "Yeah, Flynn Springthorp and Dylan Myttenar."

"What, those assholes? What about them?" Artemis asked. 

"They've been trying to stop M'gann from using the bathrooms because they don't know what gender she 'really is'."

"WHAT?" Artemis shot up, then got whiplash since M'gann was still holding her hair.

"YEAH! and they've been making fun of Conner for stimming and getting sensory overloads!"

"THOSE BITCHES!" The blonde growled. 

"It's not that bad, I only have one class with them." M'gann didn't realize she was gripping Artemis' hair until the teen yelped in pain.

"M'GANN! They're trying to deny you basic human rights!"

"I'm not human."

"But they think you are! And It's not okay, even if you're a martian!"

"I usually just hold it all day, they only have boy's and girl's washrooms..."

"That's not okay!" Artemis replied. "Nothing that they do to you and Con is okay! They're ablest transphobic dickbags!"

"They aren't attacking us, though." Conner defended. 

"Just because they aren't punching you doesn't mean they aren't intentionally hurting you, though." Wally said. "Are you telling us that you aren't hurt at all when they do mimic your stimming and speech patterns?" Conner didn't reply. "Doesn't it make you angry when they make fun of you for only hanging out with M'gann?"

"M'gann! Rinse my hair or let go! We're dealing with this!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The violence at home towards my friends, and the fact I cannot just stop it. I'm not human, and I feel like I have to at least look human to fit in on surface, or at home."

Dick nodded, listening. "Hey- I know where you fit in?" He lunched forwards, incasing Kaldur in a hug. "MY ARMS!"

Kaldur's back slapped the mat as Dick squeezed the melancholy out of him. Kaldur let him, absorbing the hug in silence. "Thank you."

"You, are welcome." He grinned. "The aliens are making food tonight, are you staying?"

"I don't have anywhere to go."

"Great! You find them, I'm going to call the fam, letting them know I'm staying for dinner." 

"Alright." Kaldur sat up, the bird sliding down his chest onto his lap. Kaldur kissed the top of his head. "Thank you for listening."

"Any time, prince-y." Dick crawled off him, grabbing his cell.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where are you?"

"At the mountain, what's up?"

"With the team?"

"Yeah." 

"What are you doing?"

"Just... hanging out."

Tim sighed over the phone. "Promise me this won't end up the same as the Outlaws." He asked. "I think Alfred would forfeit life if you also inherited the Polyamorous gene."

"Well, I didn't inherit any gene, because we aren't related..." Dick replied. "And Alfred would never, he'll outlive us all."

"Just, don't be Jason here; be smart." Tim said.

Dick grinned. "I'll try."
