Bethany Ford - A Young Justice Novel (Robin/Dick Grayson Romance) [Completed]

Chapter 12: the Choice

WARNING!!!!!!!!: GUYS I CHANGED THE ENDING TO CHAPTER 11: JUST A CITY GIRL. PLEASE REREAD IT BECAUSE IT IS DIFFERENT.

On the other hand: If you are too lazy to go read it (even though it's like two pieces of dialogue), then I'll just tell you what happened. So, the fact that Batman wanted to test Bethany would just take up too much time, so I took that part out. Instead, Batman says that Bethany fighting against Devastation is a test in and of itself, so Bethany will now have to choose whether or not she will stay on the Team or leave.

Kay continue reading :)

Try to stay traught...

Bethany's POV:

"So let me get this straight. There are superpowers and superheroes?!" I said, slightly excited. It had taken them about three hours to explain everything, including the fact that I was in a different dimension. At that part, they had to get me to calm down from a near heart attack for like 15 minutes and I almost fainted from mind overload. But that was a couple hours ago that they said that, so by now, I think I am over that fact. I think.

        "Yeah, I'm cool, I know," the boy named Kid Flash said with a smirk.

        "No, you're just the product of a freak accident, remember?" Artemis punched Kid Flash's shoulder.

        "Well, actually -" He started to retort.

        "Team, give Bethany and I some privacy. We have other things to discuss," Batman said firmly. Everyone obeyed, except for Robin, "That means you too, Robin."

        Reluctantly, Robin walked out of the room to join the rest of the Team, but not after throwing one last glance at me over his shoulder. Now it was just Batman, the woman called Black Canary, and me. All alone.

        "Now," Batman wheeled on me, "will you join us?"

        Well that was straight forward. "Umm... I don't know."

      "So straightforward Batman," Black Canary said, clicking her tongue. She turned to me, "Sweetie, think about it. But we need an answer now because, well, you already know a lot and we need to know that you can handle more and that we can trust you to show you everything," Black Canary patted my shoulder and then went to stand with Batman. They both looked down at me, and then I felt like a little kid again.

        "It's a big decision and I..." I trailed off in thought. Was it really that big of a decision? Where would I stay if I said no. I don't even know where I am, and according to Batman, I'm in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIMENSION. That still makes me dizzy thinking about it. If I said yes, then I would have food, shelter, and maybe, just maybe, some friends. I could do what I love: fighting. I could fight and train alongside all these teenagers my age and go to school and have a new life. I could start over!

        I looked up with my decision and realized that Batman and Black Canary were still looking at me for an answer. I looked straight into Batman's mask.

        "I would like to stay."
