Mount Justice

November 15, 16:05 EDT

"So, we have the mountain to ourselves, no training, no missions. What are we going to do?" Wally asked, stuffing some chips in his mouth. "I need entertainment, people."

"Entertain yourself." Pietro scoffed, stealing the bag of chips away from the other speedster. "We aren't your puppets."

"Hey, you need to be nice to me. It is my birthday month." Wally took the chips back, sticking his tongue out.

"And this is my home, and you are eating all my food." Pietro scowled, snatching the chips back. "Go get your own food."

"Wanda! Tell your twin to be nice to me!" Wally whined, reaching for the chips only for Pietro to dump the rest in his own mouth. Wally gasped. "You didn't. Those were my favorite flavor!"

"Looks like you'll need to get more." Pietro mumbled out through the food in his mouth, a smirk on his face. He swallowed, turning to look at his sister. "Wanda, you are being awfully quiet, everything alright?"

Wanda hummed, looking to Pietro. "Huh? What was that?"

"She's probably just daydreaming about some boy." Wally shrugged. Artemis, Pietro, and Wanda all stiffened. Wanda and Pietro exchanged a look, stifling their laughter. "What? What is it?"

"Wally...I-"

"Wait, is it me you are daydreaming about?" Wally asked, eyes bulging out of his head. "Its me isn't it?"

Wanda sighed. "Sure, I am hopelessly in love with you, Wally. You caught me."

"I am irresistible." Wally slid up to Wanda, who looked to Pietro and Artemis for help.

"Back off my sister, you food hog." Pietro jumped between them. "Can't you understand sarcasm?"

"So...she's not in love with me?" Wally asked, scratching his head.

"Sorry, Wally, I lean the other way."

"Left?"

"...sure, Wally, sure." Wanda giggled.

"Well, if this is a time to confess things, I guess I'll confess something. I'm not straight, either." Artemis smiled at Wanda, who blushed.

"Hey, I have an idea! Let's play truth or dare!" M'gann reminded everyone of her presence with her shouting. "I saw it on an old television show. I think it would be a fun way to bond. Who wants to play?"

"Sure. Could be fun."

"Yeah, what the hell."

"No secret identities though, that stuff is off the table."

"Of course. I mean, for those of us that have one."

After the whole team agreed to play they all sat down in the lounge with mountains of snacks.

"Alright, youngest first. Robin, ask anyone."

Robin stared at the gathering of teens before him, tapping his chin. "Pietro, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Alright, I dare you to not eat anything for the remainder of the game."

"What? Not cool, man, not cool." Pietro grumbled, looking around the circle. "Artemis, truth or dare?"
