~Multiple Weeks Later~

3rd Person P.O.V.

"Finally!" Tim says, laying back as the note in his hand fluttered down to the floor.

Someone zoomed into his room, disheveled hair as he stopped by the bed.

"What?!" Bart asks "What happened?!"

"I can leave as Catlad tonight! Whooooo!" Tim replies, back flipping off the bed.

"Sweet!"

Bart looks at the note, picking it up. He scans over it. "And it looks like we have the house to ourselves today." He says, folding the note again.

"Mhmm." Tim replies.


~Time Skip~


Bart silently walks over to the store, peering inside. "Store is empty, owner is about to leave." He says into his comm.

"Alright, working on opening the back entrance." Tim replies, struggling with his lock picking set.

"Do you need any help?" Bart asks.

"No, no. Just a little rusting at this."

"Alright, man."

The comms shut off leaving Tim to work on his own. 

He sighs, leaning his head against the door. "Goddammit." He mutters, closing his eyes.

"Having trouble there?"

The tools clatter as Tim turns towards the hero. He couldn't see anything, though, before he was pushed back against the door.

"Ah, Superboy. What a wonderful surprise!" Tim says, smirking as he looks up at Conner.

Conner growls softly. "Where have you been?" He asks.

"Oh, bèbè. Are you jealous?!" Tim exclaims "You should know that you're the only one for me."

Heat starts to rise to Conner's face. "Where have you been?" He repeats.

"Because of our little meet weeks ago, I got grounded." Tim gives in, pushing Conner back. "Tonight's my first night back."

He turns to pick up his tools. "Why do you wanna know?" He asks. "Were you upset that I might've left you for someone else~?"

Conner's face, now beet red, was just standing there. He watched as Tim collected his things, putting them away in a pouch.

"Catlad, I've got company. And not just Beetle."

Sorry for the late update. I've been really bad about this. I can't find time in between work and school and home, I can't write more chapters. I'm way behind. Christmas Break is around the corner, (probably) leaving me time to update Chapter 17, 18 and 19.

French~

bèbè - Baby

Hope I update soon. (For my sake and yours)
