Are you afraid now? ( under revision )

19. Fire meet gasoline

The day of Laura's birthday had arrived, she could hardly think that she was already 9 months in that place, in that different world, and that the expansion and Vandal Savage were going soon, soon to fall.

Tim found a small restaurant in Metropolis which looked more like a bar than anything else, the place had a dance floor table, and a stage was people could sing in a karaoke in the range of the band they played.

The bar was not closed, but they were in a large majority. Then Laura arrived, late for her party, a few minutes only.

She was wearing a white T-shirt, a black skirt, and a black summer hat courtesy of Zatana's wardrobe. She had a purple lipstick, and not too heavy makeup, but she looked happy even if she thought of herself looking like a clown.

While everyone was dancing Laura was in a month, looking at her father's dog tag, from that dream she thought if he was proud of her, then someone came.

"Hi."- Someone said leaning on the table where she was standing

"Hey ."- Laura looked up and saw Conner

He was wearing his T-shirt with that red symbol, a jacket, black jeans and of course his battle boots. Laura thought he was handsome even more when he smiled.

"Are you thinking about your father?" - Conner

"No ." - Laura

"So what?" - Conner

"I'm thinking about what he said, well he said it once, and I think he said it to himself." - Laura

"What did he say ?" - Conner

"He said, come to God answer me, I've been asking you why, why ... why the innocent are dead and the guilty alive? Where is justice, where is punishment? Or have you already answered? Did you already tell the world: Here is justice, here is the punishment, here in me. "- Laura

"I kind of makes sense. " - Conner

"How are you?" - Laura

"With what?" - Conner

"With the Todd think? " - Laura

"Look ... I'm so glad he's alive, I liked Jayson when he was a kid, and I think it's better to look on the good side than on the bad side." - Conner

"Well ..." - Laura started to speak to me so she felt someone approaching them

Jason was there, with his black hair with two white strands on his fringe, he had a small box, not his hand that had rings on his fingers. He was very handsome. He had two earrings in his ear and was in a black jacket, much like Conner's.

"For me?" - Laura said when he gave her a little black box

"Of course, it's your birthday." - Jason

"Thank you." - Laura said

She opened the box and then she took out of the box that had a ring with a circle and an X in the circle, it looked like a silver ring, Laura put that ring on it and then looked at Jason.

"Did you like it?" - Jason

"Yes." - Laura

"And you gave what to her Conner?" - Jason asked

"I didn't give anything ... yet." - Conner said seemingly interjecting his anger

"And you don't have to give anything." - Laura said putting her hand on top of Conner's hand

"Do you want to dance?"- Jason

"Dancing?" - Laura

"Yeah." - Jason

"Okay."- Laura said then went dancing with Jason on the dance floor

Then Dick went to the table where Conner was churning Jason and Laura, with a very threatening look.

"What up Romeo?" - Dick

"Hey, Dick." - Conner

"Are you in love?" - Dick

" What !?! Are you a crazy guy? "- Conner

"I haven't seen you like this since ... Well, I never saw you like that so. "- Dick

"So how?" - Conner

"It looks like if you had a heat vision you'd kill Jason again." - Dick

"Are you kidding about this?" - Conner

"Like you said let's see the good side of it." - Dick

"She's a nice girl, and that's all. "- Conner

"A cool girl you like." - Dick

"Dick, excuse me?" - Conner

"Conner, come on, she's afraid she'll just come with you and go." - Dick

"Dick stop talking about it please." - Conner

"You know if Artemis was here, she would tell you to go for it ." - Dick

"Dick. Just look at her, she's with Jason. "- Conner

"Who said that?" - Dick

"No one." - Conner

" So. Just talk to her, otherwise the young Tood will run and get her first. "- Dick

"Dick, just ... for, I'm not ready." Conner said taking a bottle of beer and took a sip

"You drinking? Okay, she's different. "- Dick
