Zephyr: A Young Justice OC fanfiction

Chapter 40: Happy Halloween

Reminder to all of you that the kiss in the last chapter wasn't Lina's first: her first kiss was with Jeanette at the Wayne party a few chapters back!

As Wally lets out a loud wolf howl, I laugh and applaud, enjoying his enthusiasm in Halloween and in his werewolf costume.

Disappointedly, Wally looks down at Wolf. "Really nothing? What kind of wolf are you?"

"Wally stop torturing him!" Conner exclaimed, sitting as his girlfriend wrapped him in bandages.

"Stop fidgeting!" Megan groaned in anguish.

"Megan, stop torturing him!" Wally mocked. "Awkward for him anyways, third-wheeling on our date."

"Wally I invited the whole team to the party." Megan reminded.

"Good, keeps us on the downlow..." Wally says, and I facepalm.

It would be so much easier and less emotionally painful if we could just tell him...

"I mean I'm pretty sure he and Lina would be so awkward if it was just us..." Wally says, looking over at me. "Speaking of which Lina, what's up with the costume?"

I look down at my black leggings and matching fuzzy sweater. A long rope-tail was tied under my sweater before hanging down from my waist, and a pair of black fingerless gloves had pink, paw-like, designs on the palm. My hair was let down with a pair of fake cat ears peeking out, and whiskers had been drawn onto my face with eyeliner.

"I'm a cat!" I said excitedly, cocking my head to the side and curling my hands under my chin, giving the cute-cat pose. "I thought it was pretty obvious..."

"That's..not usually how teenage girls do cats on Halloween..." Wally said awkwardly. I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"I don't understand." I said, and Wally facepalmed before giving up and turning back to Megan and Conner.

"What about you Megan?" I asked.

"Going as my favorite Martian?" Wally flirted, causing Megan to smirk.

"Not exactly..." She said before walking to the clearing and slowly shapeshifting from her usual green skin and peppy girl look, to white skin white black around the eyes and torn up wedding attire.

Zombie Bride Megan.

I oohed and applauded again, impressed by her abilities and creativity.

"Eat my brains anytime." Wally flirted.

"Great minds think alike!" Captain Marvel's voice said happily and I turn to see him...Looking exactly the same save for some poorly-done zombie makeup. Personally, I thought it was cute.

"Captain!" Megan exclaimed, surprised to see the Leaguers here. I wasn't, Marvel always seemed to be happier around us then the league; and with his child-like attitude (which was always nice to be around) didn't surprise me.

"You look great!" I said, giving the leaguer a thumbs-up.

"Are you going to a Halloween party too?" Megan asked. Marvel looked confused and a little hurt.

"Well I thought...You did invite the whole team, right?" He asked.

"Yup!" Megan said cheerfully. "So don't worry about us, pho have a good time."

I felt sorry for the guy, as it was obvious that he wanted to come with us but before I could say anything, I got distracted by the Zeta-tubes coming to life and Artemis (dressed like a punk-vampire) and Zatanna (ironically dressed like a witch) walking out, complimenting each other's costumes.
