The Road Trip

Chapter 3

Megan's POV
I drove down the highway with my headphones in, listening to my pop playlist. Everyone but Dick and Zatanna were asleep, I mean we woke up at like three in the morning. Dick was doing something on his phone and Zatanna was doing a word search. I kept driving as the music kept playing. Minutes passed and suddenly a man jumped onto the road, in front of the car. I stepped on the brake with all of my might, my heart beating fast. Zatanna and Dick looked up from what they were doing and Wally, Raquel, and Kaldur's eyes shot open. Dick and I ran out of the car, and Zatanna and Raquel followed. "Roy?!" Dick yelled, recognizing the man. Roy, a red-headed high school drop-out who was rumored to be married to Artemis's sister, stood there in front of us. After dropping out of high school in junior year, he moved out of town, leaving his mom and twin brother, who no one knew well, behind. After his disappearance, people at school came up with crazy rumors of where he was, saying that he was kidnapped, or that he was expelled for smoking cannabis or snorting cocaine and fled. Something like that.
   "Where have you been?" Raquel asked, curiously.  "Uh...it's really, really, complicated," he replied scratching the back of his head.  "Is it true you really got married to Jade?" Zatanna questioned.  "Y-No," Roy quickly changed his answer.  "Roy!" I began.  "Why did you do that?  You could've died!"  "I wasn't thinking, okay?" he snapped back. "Well, maybe you should think!" I yelled. "Geesh, calm down Regan," he said. "Or was it Tegan?" "It's Megan," I corrected with a frown on my face. "Dude, do you need help or something?" Dick asked. "Actually, could I ask a favor?" "Sure, anything." "I really want to go back home. Is there I chance you can take me there?" he pleaded. "Get in the car," Dick said. "Are you crazy?! He's a crazy guy who smells like dog crap!" I yelled. "I told him we would do anything," Dick said making his way into the car.  "Come on, Meg, it won't kill anyone!" Zatanna said getting into the car.  "There's an extra seat in the back, Harper!" Raquel yelled walking towards the car.  I sighed and got back into the car.

Raquel's POV
Roy sat next to me and Kaldur started, "Roy? Roy Harper? Is that you?"  "Hey bud!" Roy replied.  The two were close friends in high school, before Roy dropped out, of course. "It's so nice to see you!" Kaldur smiled. That was the first time I'd seen him smile in a while. "Same goes for you," Roy said. "Hey Roy my Boy!" Wally yelled. "Don't ever use that name again," Roy said as Wally nodded his head. "So why did you leave town?" I asked Roy. "Not right now, I'm tired," he said, yawning. He closed his eyes and I sighed, rolling my eyes. "Are you okay?" Kaldur asked. "Yeah, I'm alright," I said fake smiling. "Oh okay," he said. Was he blind? Could he not tell that I liked him? Gosh, boys are so dumb.

Artemis's POV
   I woke up from my nap as Wally smiled.  "Great! She's up we can turn on the radio now!" he exclaimed.  I rolled my eyes as Dick turned on the radio.  "I love this song!" Zatanna said, looking up from her word search book.  "Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you," Zatanna sang along.  "I drink too much and that's an issue," Raquel continued.  I then turned my head to look at Raquel and saw a man sleeping next to her.  Music playing in the background, I blurted out, "Why is there some random dude in the car?"  Dick lowered the volume.  "Oh, it's just Roy.  You know, the guy who's married to your sister?" Wally explained.  "He's not married to my sister," I scowled at the red-headed idiot sitting next to me.  "Turn up the volume now!" Zatanna complained.  Dick turned the volume up and Zatanna began to sing along once again.  "So baby pull me closer in the back seat of your Rover that I know you can't afford, bite that tattoo on your shoulder."  "Pull the sheets right off the corner of the mattress that you stole, from your roommate back in Boulder. We ain't ever getting older," Raquel continued. 
   I sat there with my arms crossed when Wally took out his phone and took a selfie of him and me.  "Delete it," I said calmly as he looked at the picture.  "No, I like it," he said, grinning.  "I will break your phone, West!" I yelled as he chuckled. "No," he responded.  "WALLY!" I yelled, angry.  "I'd delete it, Wall-man," Dick suggested from the front seat.  "But I don't want to," Wally said, looking at the picture that made me look less than attractive.  "You're gonna want to in a second," I said, cracking my knuckles.  "Okay!! Just please don't kill me--please," he said tapping on the small trash can.  "Wise decision Kid Idiot," I said.  Just how much longer do I have to spend with this imbecile?
