*notes: Still in order from the last one. I also haven't seen Young Justice season 3 and I barely remember season 2.
Cora POV:
"So you mixed melatonin with coffee? How did that even happen?" I ask. Tim gives me a blank look, seeming completely fine otherwise.
"I thought they were multivitamins. Tasted better." He shrugs. I take a deep breath to stop myself from using the very colourful language I've picked up from the people around me.
"I'm telling Jason." I state. Bruce he could reason with, but Jason is a force to be reckoned with.
It takes a second for me to process his reaction, which was to pick me up and pin my arms. I flail and squirm, letting loose a few profanities as I do.
The world whizzes by as I thrash while we move. I'm jostled and moved to his hip like a sack of flour. My arms are still pinned to my sides but I kick my legs forcefully.
A warm tingly feeling washes over me. I'm familiar enough with it to know it's a Zeta tube. Did he just kidnap me?!
When the light fades from my still blurring vision, I piece together the stone walls and the familiar looking floor. I continue my escape attempts, which finally succeed.
"Did you seriously just take us back to the cave?! How did you even-" I get cut off by a pair of sunglasses being shoved onto my face. The force of it kinda hurt, but at least my feet are on the ground now.
"This is not that cave. This is a different cave. And you don't know how to work this Zeta beam so ha!" Tim explains quickly. I cross my arms and stomp my foot.
"It's not my fault you're probably being poisoned as we speak. Get a grip!" I say indignantly. I hate that I don't know where this is. I also hate how easy it was for him to get me here.
"I have a grip. If my boyfriend knew about this he would go all Red hood on me." Tim waves his arms, his voice sounding jittery.
"With good reason! Can he even find us here?!" I hiss. If Jason isn't able to find either of us without an explanation, he will get pissed. Damian will probably help him hunt through the city.
"Chickadee? Red Robin?" A newly entering voice calls. I freeze.
I slowly turn to see Superboy. I'm suddenly very thankful for the shades that bruised my nose. He walks towards us, looking for answers to a question he hasn't asked.
"Hey, Conner. We were in the neighborhood and I thought Chickadee should meet the team." Tim lies casually. Something in Conner's expression changes.
"Your heartbeat is irregular, even before you started talking." He states, instead of commenting.
"I tried a new coffee blend that has a little extra kick." I send Tim a glare that he returns with a smile.
"You should try to work it out of your system then. You can use the gym while Chickadee introduces herself." Conner offers.
"Uhh... Ya know what? Chickadee, how about we give them a demonstration of your skills? Good icebreaker." Tim suggests, his voice sounding a little tight.
I glance between him and Conner. Whatever this is, he's not coming clean to anyone and he obviously doesn't want to let me out of his sight. Like I'd snitch to strangers. If anyone is gonna deal with him it's me or Jason.
"Sure." I reply slowly. "But we don't have to call everyone on the team here. Why not just whoever's here?" I suggest, the truth I'm keeping tasting like bile in my throat.
