Hey this is the last chapter, but I am thinking about an epilogue so stay tuned and enjoy!


Raquel could feel his eyes on her again, she ignored him, keeping her eyes on the road instead. A minute passed and another, and then another; still his eyes searched her face. She sighed, waiting for him to say whatever he felt he needed to, in his damn niceness.

He had opened the car door for him even after she had refused to answer his 'Good morning' with anything more than a hum in response. She hadn't said thank you when he gave her some of his water and still he was nothing but a perfect gentleman. Kal made it so hard to stay mad at him. Finally Kaldur cleared his throat, and Raquel quirked an eyebrow at him.

"Raquel I want to apologize for the mistake I made the night before last." he took a breath and Raquel noticed that he was talking very evenly, more so than usual. "Sincerely I never meant to hurt you, and I take full responsibility for my actions." Raquel thought that strange seeing as how he was under the influence and could probably 'blame it on the alcohol'.

"I understand that saying anyone elses name in the place of yours in that situation is incredibly offensive and I can promise you, with absolute certainty that it will never happen again" Kal took another deep breath before continuing and Raquel realized that he seemed nervous which struck her because nothing ever shook Kaldur. He gave her a small smile before continuing "And if you are willing to forgive me, I would like to make it up to you"

Raquel thought a moment before answering. That had to be one of the sincerest apologies she had ever been on the receiving end of. Of course, as with everything else, Kal apologized with class and grace. Damn him. She smiled a little at him.

"Make it up to me, huh?" She asked and his smile widened till he was beaming at her. "What did you have in mind?" He was just about to answer when his cellphone rang. He answered and Raquel couldn't help but overhear his side of the conversation.

"Wait, where did you say you were?" Kaldur raised his voice ever so slightly, and Raquel knew that it was probably something bad. "What happened?" Kal's eyebrows shot up before, his voice changed to the commanding tone he used on the field. "We are on our way".

"Where are we going, boss man?" Raquel couldn't help her curiosity. He gave her the address and she stepped on the gas, her mind racing to conclusions she didn't like. As she went way past the speed limit, Kal got back on the phone, probably calling the others.

"Dick we are making a detour" he started, still using his leader voice. "How do you already know?" he paused and his eyebrows furrowed. "He is with her? Do you know what happened?" he nodded though Dick obviously couldn't see him "Meet you there" he finished and hung up.

Raquel did a quick round up in her head, if Dick was in the van with Zatanna, Conner and Megan and Kal was obviously with her, and a guy had called Dick and a girl had called Kal. The worry didn't subside in her head, and she pushed the car to 100 mph.

...

"Artemis Crock and Wally West please" Kaldur asked his voice filled with barely contained urgency. The man seated at the police station looked up completely unimpressed with all of them. Kaldur had to go through a lengthy process of filling out paperwork and handing over Dick's emergency only credit card again, and Raquel could only keep thinking; what could they have possibly done to get arrested, were they okay, did they get hurt, were superheros even allowed to get arrested?

Finally after what felt like a million years sitting on the waiting bench with Conner, Megan and Zatanna; one police officer escorted both Artemis and Wally and read the charges aloud to the waiting room.

"Artemis Crock and Wally West; Public Indecency" Raquel covered her mouth in order not to laugh so loudly, Dick laughed openly, letting it echo through the hall, triggering Zatanna's answering giggles; Artemis crossed her arms over her chest and Wally put his face in his hands. Kaldur tried to keep the disapproval on his face, but he glanced at Raquel and couldn't help but smile at her shaking shoulders.

They stayed silent all the way to the cars, interrupted only by sporadic sniggering from Dick and Zatanna. Raquel was just about to unlock the car when Megan surprisingly asked.

"So what'd you get caught doing?" Megan grinned cheekily. And Raquel knew to worry.

"Sorry I don't kiss and tell M'gann" Artemis stopped crossing her arms.

"It was all her idea!" Wally said over her, holding his hands up in surrender. Artemis punched his arm.

"I didn't hear you complaining" she scoffed at him. Wally opened his mouth as if to say something and closed it again thinking for a minute before answering.

"Touche" he wrapped his arm around Artemis' shoulders, whom was obviously forgiven by the way Artemis easily wrapped her arm around his waist. Zatanna caught Raquel's eye as she was already inching towards the van, and Raquel was following suit, hand on the door handle.

"Ladies, I believe it's time to pay up" Megan sing sang, with her satisfied grin and Raquel tensed. Kal gave her a confused look, and Raquel took a big breath steeling up all her courage; like she was about to fight a giant robot.

"Kal, you know how you said you wanted to make it up to me?" she reminded, her voice sounding touch higher than she liked, and he nodded still questioning. She stretched up on the tips of her toes, closed her eyes and kissed him quick and sweet on his closed mouth, before he had anytime to react. She peeked at him and his grin had to be the nicest thing she'd ever seen.

"Oh I'm taking a page from that book" Raquel heard Zatanna say and looked over just in time to see her pull Dick into an embrace and kiss him square on the mouth. Dick floundered for 2 seconds before resting his hands on her waist.

"What did Megan mean about 'pay up'" Kaldur asked, close to her ear and she just shook her head, even as she felt his hand slip into hers.


Well there it is I hope you like it!
