“What? Megan that's-that's great!” Wally exclaimed. “I can't believe আপনি two were dating but none of us suspected!”
“Kaldur and I didn't need to suspect,” Robin admitted. “We already knew.”
“And I suppose আপনি knew about Artemis and I?”
“Yeah. আপনি two were probably the only ones who didn't know!”
Robin let out his infamous cackle and Wally only smiled. Artemis leaned into him, humming a little. Becca smirked at them and there was another flash.
“Becca! Stop it!” Artemis demanded playfully.
“You'll thank me one day. Don't forget, this never would have happened if it wasn’t for you, Wally.”
“What do আপনি mean?”
“Eh. Nothing. I'll let আপনি figure that out. But seriously...” Becca turned her head to look at the martian and clone. “I'm so glad for আপনি two. আপনি have no idea how many super অনুরাগী আপনি have.”
“We have fans?” Robin asked.
“You didn't know? Hand me your laptop.”
Robin complied and Becca took the device. She punched in the code while the others gathered around. Then, pulling up Google, Becca typed in the words “Young Justice.” Immediately, thousands of pics came up, each about them.
“Whoa! We are famous!” Wally exclaimed.
“Most superheroes are. But check this out.”
Becca typed in the word “couples” to her original খুঁজুন and আরো pictures came up.
“See? There are Megan/Connor fans, Wally/Artemis fans, Robin/Artemis fans, Wally/Megan অনুরাগী plus a few others.”
“Like what?”
Becca's cheeks turned পরাকাষ্ঠা but she answered just the same.
“Like Wally/Robin fans, Artemis/Megan fans, and a few Kaldur/Connor fans. The extreme fans. Not bad necessarily just extreme. They also have Robin/Connor fans, Roy/Robin fans, Wally/Roy fans, Artemis/Roy fans, Wally/Klarion the Witch boy fans, Robin/Zatanna fans, and even some Mentor/Protege fans. And then the OC/protege fans.”
“Oc's?” Megan asked.
“A made up person who people think should get together with one of you.”
“Ah.”
“But আপনি guys are pretty loved. Most people think of আপনি as a sign of hope.”
“Like what happened when Megan linked us up for a training exercise?” Wal;ly asked gently.
“Prescicely. আপনি guys are like the most liked team ever!”
“And it seems like Robin is the most loved teammate,” Wally noticed.
“Yep. But that's their hopes and dreams down the drain.”
“Oohh! Becca that was cold.”
“Whatever Wally. It was the truth; they can not have him and they never will!”
“Is there a territorial factor I see Becca?” Artemis asked.
“No,” Becca answered, but her cheeks were turning red.
“Show us some আরো pictures,” Robin said.
“No. আপনি can find them yourself. I need some fresh air.”
Becca untangled herself from Robin, handing him the computer. The others were so focused on it, they never noticed how Kaldur had slipped out of the room. Becca raced after him, hoping he wouldn't get in the water.
“Kaldur!” Becca called when she exited the mountain.
She spotted him দ্বারা the beach, looking at the waves from the dry sand. She sighed and walked over to him. As she neared, she could see him playing with a reed of ঘাস from দ্বারা the door.
“May I sit?” she asked, now standing beside him.
“If আপনি wish.”
Becca sat পরবর্তি to him and stared at the ocean. The sound of the waves crashing filled her ears and she felt even আরো relaxed than before.
“What's it like?” Kaldur asked as he turned to face her.
“What's what like, Kaldur?”
“Being in love. What's it like?”
“Oh. Well, everyone has their own way of viewing it. For me, it's like a thousand days of sunshine followed দ্বারা চকোলেট sundaes. It sounds weird but that's the feeling I get. Super excited and satisfied. Never feeling alone. But never always surrounded. Does that make sense?”
“No. But it was a good try.”
Becca pushed against his arm lightly.
“Look, I didn't mean to make আপনি feel bad.”
“I know. I just...wonder when that will happen to me, আপনি know?”
“Yeah. I was like that at first too. Especially when I first met আপনি guys. Robin was so wrapped up in everything. I didn't think he cared. In fact, I thought there was somebody else he was with.”
“Well, আপনি can see your theory was wrong.”
“Tell me about it. My point is, প্রণয় will find you. Just don't expect it.”
“Hmmm. আপনি are wise counsel. If I were ever to be a king, I would choose আপনি as an advisor.”
“You shouldn't. My loyalties don't lie far.”
“Maybe not. But you're প্রণয় for your বন্ধু do.”
Kaldur leaned over and kissed her forehead.
“Thank you. আপনি have become like a sister to me. And I will protect আপনি with my life.”
“Same to you, Kaldur. Except brother. You're obviously not a sister.”
Becca smiled when she got a chuckle out of her companion.
“Should we head back?” she asked.
“I think it's time.”
Becca smiled at him as they got up. She dawdled along as he headed back faster than she was. When he was gone, Becca pulled her phone out.
“Hey, Jade? I have a proposition for you.”
