Bruce Wayne's party

The manor

Dick's pov:

"Absolutely not" Jason said. I honestly couldn't tell you what was going on. Jason and Tim has been having a conversation for the last 10 minutes. I wasn't listening. The others had been joining in on the conversation too. They had all listened. I couldn't. Not now.

"Oh come on. It's a good idea. Right Dick?" Tim pulled me from my thoughts. I looked up.

"...what?" I asked.

Jason rolled his eyes. "Dick hasn't heard a word we've said." He wasn't wrong. They just continued with the conversation.

"What's up with you?" Barbra asked me.

It was in a private mental link. Just us.

"It's been 3 weeks since the league found out about us. I'm worried"

"Why? I know we haven't figured out why dad wanted them to know but nothing has happened." She told me.

"Yet" I looked over at her. Her eyebrows shot up slightly. I didn't need a mental link to figure out what that meant.

"You're lying. I'm sure you're worried about that but it's something else" she said

"Oh I don't know. Maybe it's the prophecy of the war we're gonna start. Maybe it's our impending doom." I snapped back at her

"Nope. It's something else."

"Whatever"

"Guys it's time to go. Are you talking behind our backs?" Tim said standing up.

Barbra and I didn't lose eye contact. We just stayed on the couches with locked eyes.

"Okay then" Tim said walking away.

"We need to talk Dick" dad said.

When did he get in here? I could tell by Barbra's face she was wondering the same thing. I stood up and followed him to his office.

"Yes?" I asked once I closed the door.

"I need to ask you something?"

"Planing on proposing to the newest Wayne?" I smirked.

"No. And why do you all call him that?"

"Cause it's true"

"Whatever Dick. Seriously. The party is happening tonight. You know what that means."

I did. I wish I didn't. None of my siblings know. My cousins Percy and Scott know. So does Stiles and Nico. And Wally, Roy, and Artemis. No one else can know.

"Sure you don't want to propose? It might be your last chance" I told him. I was playing games. He knew it too.

"Funny. Everything is in place?" He asked sitting down in his chair.

"Of course."

"It will be fine"

"Trying to convince me or yourself?" I asked as I walked out the door.

I hate this plan. I wish there was another option. But there's not. The prophecy says this is how it has to happen. We have been waiting for years. Planning for years. We all are ready. Everyone knows the plan. Mostly. They know everything about the plan after tonight. They can't know about this.

This party is in a few hours. Everyone is coming tonight. The original leaguers. Plus Oliver. Everyone involved in the prophecy. The avengers. Everyone is about to have the night of their life.
