Young Justice: The next Generation

Wake up

Melanie knocked on the door to Grayson manor to be met by Leah opening the door for her.

"Hey girl" Melanie waved stepping in

"Hey, you're here early this morning" Leah said as she walked back into the kitchen returning to her bowl of cereal

"Yeah well Marks sick so he's not going to school today, which means I was able to use my speed to get here this morning instead of someone dropping us off" she explained

Leah nodded her mouth full of food

"Where is everyone?" Melanie asked looking around

Leah swallowed "Upstairs" she said pointing

"Oh, alright I'll go see what they're up to, see you later" she waved and made her way up the stairs, Dick and Barbara's bedroom door was closed indicating that one of them was still asleep probably Dick. Then she looked down the hall toward Nathan's room and saw Barbara standing in his doorway she made her way toward her.

"Nate come on get up!" Barbara said sternly

She turned toward Melanie upon hearing her approach

"Hey Aunt B what's going on?" Melanie asked

Barbara rolled her eyes "Robin and Nightwing stayed out late last night he insisted that he would be able to get up this morning if we let him stay out later. But he's not getting up" she waved a hand into her son's room

Melanie peaked in and could see the boy lying in his bed shirtless completely passed out

"I got to go spend some time with Leah before school, maybe he'll get up for you " Barbara said walking off.

Melanie stepped into his room "Come on Nate get up" she said

He didn't even stir

She climbed up on his bed "Get up Nathan" she said shaking him lightly.

He let out a small groan and swatted her hands away.

Melanie rolled her eyes it was getting later and they'd be late for school if he didn't get up soon. She moved and bent over him "Get up now Bozo! I am not going to have my perfect attendance record ruined because you want to sleep in" she said shaking his shoulders roughly.

Nathan moved but instead of opening his eyes or getting up he grabbed Melanie by the waist and pulled her down to him.

"Nate what are you doing" she mumbled as he held her tightly against his bare chest

"I'm sleepy" he groaned as he held her tighter

She looked up at him to see if his eyes were open they weren't but he was smiling

"Well we're going to be late, don't we have to pick up your little girly friend Teresa on our way to school?" she asked

She felt Nathan's head move indicating he was nodding his head

"Then let's go" she said attempting to push herself away but he wouldn't release her from his grip

"Nathan, you can cuddle Teresa when we go pick her up" she pointed out

Nathan shook his head "Your so much warmer though " he said as he rooted his head and nuzzled it in the crook of her neck

When he did that her heart skipped a beat she quickly pushed him back getting herself out of his grip

They were lying side by side. She looked at him his blue eyes were now open

"Get dressed" she ordered pushing herself up and walking out of the room
