Viper (Superboy x Batsis!Reader)

Chapter Three: Nightmares

(Picture above is what the bed looks like)

"Here's our room," I said, pressing my hand against the code pad next to the sliding metal door. The small screen scanned my hand before the door opened. "It's kinda plain," I said, walking into the room. "But I've only been here for a few months and it's hard to decorate when your brother insists on constant training in case the team turns on us."

"He really thinks the team would turn on you?" Alex asked, running to the already set bunk beds.

"Top bunk's mine," I stated as she rushed up the stairs. "And yeah. Damian's never been very trusting, not even of most of our family. He's gotten close to Br- Batman, Dick, and I but that's it."

"How come?" Alex asked, flopping on the bottom bunk.

"That's none of your business," I said, closing the door.

"Just asking," Alex said, pushing herself up on her elbows. "Why is the lower bunk set up already?"

"It was like that when I came to the tower," I shrugged. "Do you have any clothes?"

"Yeah," Alex said, jumping up. "Oh! But I forgot them in the Titan's living room."

"It's just the living room," I stated. "We don't name all our stuff after ourselves. We're not Batman."

"Right," Alex chuckled. "Be back in a flash." She zoomed away, before hitting the door and falling on her back.

I casually stood over her. "You forgot to open the door," I said, putting a passcode into the pad.

"Right," Alex said, hopping up. "Wait, there's a-

"Handprint to get in, passcode to get out, yeah," I confirmed. "Weird, huh?"

"Yeah," Alex agreed. "So, what's the passcode?"

"22-9-16-5-18," I answered.

"Viper in number codes," Alex hummed. "Smart." She then disappeared in a flash, blowing my hair into my face. As soon as I brushed my hair from my face Alex was standing in front of me again with two large duffle bags.

"Does the weight slow you down?" I asked, sitting in one of the love seats.

"No," Alex shrugged, tossing her bags onto her bed. "It actually increases my strength and agility." She suddenly held a bag of chips. "But my metabolism is faster, which means I'm usually hungry."

"Cool," I hummed. "Sorry about being cold out there,"

"It's alright," Alex smiled. "I did push your brother off the tower."

"And I did attack your boyfriend," I shrugged, pulling off my jacket.

"Boyfriend?" Alex asked. "Connor? Oh no." She let out a laugh. "He's more like a brother. When I arrived at the League with my dad, he was the only teenager so we became quick friends."

"Oh," I said.

"What about... you and Beast Boy?" Alex asked, grabbing some pajamas out of one of her duffles.

"What about it?" I asked, pulling my hair into (h/o/c)

"You two seem, close?" she said, pulling off her overshirt.

"You mean the flirting?" you chuckled. "That's just BB. Flirting is like a second langue to him."

"Oh," Alex said. She spun in a circle, turning into a blur before stopping, now dressed in some panda pajamas. "He's kinda cute, ya know with the green skin."

"Oh you do not like BB, do you?" I said, wrinkling my nose.

"No-" Her face turned pink. "He's just aesthetically pleasing," she said, sitting on her bed.

"That's what Alexandra says when she sees someone attractive on tv," I scoffed, pulling off my shirt.

Alex rolled her eyes playfully as I tugged off my clothes. "So?"

"You know none of us would really mind," I said, pulling on my pajama shirt. "The girls would be grateful, especially Raven. It would stop BB from hitting on us." Alex just ignored me.

****

"Viper!" Alex said, shaking me.

"What the hell?" I asked, sitting up tiredly. I jumped a bit noticing Alex staring at me from the bunk bed stairs and Connor hovering (literally) next to me. "What are you-"

"Damian is whimpering and kicking in his sleep," Connor said. "I tried to wake him up but he punched me in the nose. And it hurt."

"Shit," I mumbled before teleporting into Damian's room. He was sweating profusely and thrashing around. Small whimpers occasionally left his mouth.

I teleported next to his bed, grabbing his katana before he unintentionally made me a human shishkabob. I placed it away from his reach before cautiously approaching him.

"Damian?" I said softly, going to touch his shoulder. He threw a fist at me, but I caught his wrist. I sat on his bed. "Damian!" I exclaimed, shaking his shoulder a bit.

His eyes shot open and he sat up quickly, reaching for his katana. He looked around when he couldn't find it. Fear filled his eyes. He looked like a scared child.

"It's okay," I said. "It's just me. You're in the tower." He looked at me, the fear leaving his eyes.

"What are you doing in here?" he asked, his hard gaze returning.

"You freaked out the new guy," I said, resting my chin in my palm. "Nightmare again?"

"Same one," Damian confirmed, looking to the side.

"About Deathstroke?" I asked. Damian nodded slightly. "Deathstroke is gone Damian," I said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You avenged your grandfather." Damian looked at me. "But," I drawled, scooting closer and wrapping my arms around him. He stiffened but turned around and hugged back a bit. "It doesn't stop the nightmares from coming," I said quietly, placing my chin on the younger boy's head.

"You're lucky I don't despise you," Damian said. "Or you would not survive such human contact."

"Yeah, I'd get a smack in the nose, like Connor," I chuckled.

"I hit him in the nose?" Damian asked although you could hear the smugness in his voice.

"Yeah, and he said it hurt," I added, pulling away from the hug.

Damian smirked, opening his fist to show a small piece of kryptonite. "I wanted to be careful with a Kryptonian clone in my bedroom."

"Damian!" I whispered, smacking him upside the head. He rubbed the back of his head, glaring at me. "Try and get some more sleep, okay?" Damian nodded. "Good," I hummed, ruffling his already messy hair before teleporting back to my room.

"Hey!" I exclaimed, noticing Connor and Alex with their ears pressed against the wall. They both screamed, spinning around. "Don't even try," I scoffed. "Walls are soundproof and made with lead."

"You guys really don't trust us Kents, do ya?" Connor said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Or we don't like the idea of being spied on by people with X-ray vision," I said, teleporting back into my bed. "Now leave. Damian should be good for now. His katana is somewhere he can't reach while he's asleep. But I couldn't get the kryptonite away from him."

"The what away from who?"

(So, yes some of Dami is out of character, but you and he just have a good sibling relationship- similar to him and Dick's)
