Everyone at the cave was lined up in front of Batman. He was explaining about a masquerade ball happening in Gotham at Bruce Wayne's house.
"I need some of you to go undercover while the rest watch from above. We got an anonymous tip that Harley Quinn will be there. We don't know if it'll just be her or if she'll have backup. Robin will be among you all since it is mandatory for him to be there. I'll let the rest of you decide who goes." And with a swish of his cape, he walked out.
The team soon fell into an awkward silence. Ever since Robin's big reveal everyone's been a bit wary and cold towards him.
M'gann and Kaldur tried to keep the team together but they were of no use.
Aqualad soon addressed the team, "alright Robin since this is your specialty I would like for you to help the team with their wardrobe. As who's going, Art-"
"You are not putting me in a dress!" She interrupted denying the possibility of going.
"Alright, Miss Martian, you and Superboy can go undercover as a couple. Me, Red Arrow, a-"
"Actually, I'll go undercover too." Interrupted Roy.
Everyone gave him a weird look, "you want to wear a monkey suit?" Asked Artemis incredulously.
"I'll admit they're uncomfortable, but there's someone I need to talk to. They possibly might be there."
"Who?" Questioned Robin, eyes narrowed.
"No one important," he instantly responded.
Robin's eyes narrowed even more, but reluctantly let it go.
"Alright, so it is decided. Me and Artemis will stay on the lookout for Harley Quinn and possibly any other suspects, while the rest of you go undercover."
A chorus of yes rang around the room. "Ok, Robin take and help them with their wardrobe. We'll rendezvous back here in an hour."
Everyone agreed, Robin taking Roy, M'gann, and Conner to the back of the mountain where they kept extra clothes for this occasion. Artemis and Kaldur going to dress in their uniforms.
~~~~~~~~
An hour later Artemis and Kaldur were waiting in the mission room for the rest of their teammates.
They turned their heads when they heard heavy footsteps heading their way.
Glancing over and out walks Roy.
He was wearing a simple red suit, red shoes, and a red mask. His hair was in its usual style.
Roy's Outfit
"Wow Roy, you actually look decent for once." Remarked Artemis with a smirk.
He laughed a mocking laugh, "can it replacement, and for your information, I always look this sharp."
Aqualad chuckled at their behavior before praising Roy as well. "You look good, Roy."
He smiles and goes to stand by Artemis.
Next to walk out was Conner.
He wore nothing but an all-black suit and bow tie with a simple black mask to go along. His hair was a bit gelled back near the front.
Conner's Outfit
"Who knew you could pull off a suit?" Teased Roy.
Artemis turned and spoke under her breath, "I did."
Conner gives her a weird look before asking, "this is a monkey suit?"
Roy laughs but nods his head, Conner mumbling under his breath about how he hated monkeys.
Next out was M'gann.
She had a tight red dress on, going down to the floor. Bright red heels. She had pink glossy lipstick on making her lips more noticeable, with shimmering pinkish red eye-shadow, making her eyes pop. She changed her skin to a light tan and kept her hair with its normal color with curls in it. To top it off she had a white designer mask on.
M'gann's Outfit
Artemis gasped, running up to her and grabbing a lock of hair. "Who did your makeup and hair?!"
"Robin did!" She exclaimed with a smile, while Artemis continued to mess with her hair mesmerized.
"Remind me to have him do my hair and makeup the next time I have a date."
A cackle was heard at the door bringing their attention to the source. There Robin stood, leaning against the door frame in a bright blue suit. His jacket was slung over his shoulder, giving off the impression of a model. A designer tie going along with it and blue shoes. He had a black and blue mask in place, his bright blue eyes shining. His hair was gelled back, making him look the part of a billionaires son.
Robin's Outfit
"I think I can do that Arty," he spoke with a smirk.
"Don't you just look stylish?" Roy spoke up with his own smirk.
"You look very nice Dick," praised Kaldur.
"Yea! How did you ever figure these outfits out?" Questioned M'gann, clasping her hands together, and tilting her head with a smile.
He chuckled at her behavior, "I chose the outfits for the guys by a trait of theirs. Red for Roy's red hair, black for Conner's black hair, and blue for my blue eyes. I didn't want to match with Conner. Now with M'gann, red I knew would make her personality more noticeable. The mask bringing attention to her eyes, making them stand out. It just went together perfectly I just had to!"
Once he finished he had the whole team looking at him with questioning gazes.
"You know fashion?" Asked Artemis for all of them.
"Y-yea.." He stuttered out, "I am a billionaire's protege. I need to know these things. I was also raised in the circus. Makeup is my specialty. Plus my best friend is Barbara! She has me do her hair and makeup anytime something like this comes up."
After he got done explaining everyone let it go, all but Roy. He held a thoughtful expression while he looked over Robin.
Kaldur spoke up, knocking him out of his thoughts, "are we ready to go?"
A chorus of yes rang out before they all headed to the bioship.
M'gann squealed from beside Conner, "this is our first masquerade ball. Aren't you excited?"
He looks over with one of his rare smiles, "of course. And also, you look lovely M'gann.
She blushed while giggling, not noticing Robin watching.
He looked down with a frown, having a bad feeling in his gut.
*Kyle household*
"Selina~" whined a very disgruntled looking Wally. "Do I have to?"
"Yes, Wally! You agreed and we done have your suit paid for and everything." Scolded Selina.
"Yea and since you had us pay for it instead of stealin' it you're going!" A Boston accent screamed from the bathroom.
"But Aunt Harley!"
"No buts!" Screamed Ivy from Selina's room. "You're going, end of discussion." He groaned flopping on the couch, Selina sitting beside him.
"Kitten, you were ok with going until you found out where the party was being held at."
"Yea, but it's at Bruce Wayne's house. He'll be there Selina. What if he sees me and recognizes me?" He questions with a defeated and hurt look. "What if he doesn't want to see me at all?"
"Honey, you've changed quite a bit," she spoke in a soothing voice, moving a strand of black and red hair out of his eyes. "What are the odds of you two running into each other? Plus you'll have a mask on. And if-" "if he decides to be a dick be a bad bitch and sock him in the jaw!" Exclaimed Harley from behind them, Ivy standing a bit behind her.
They both turn around, Wally with a smile and Selina with a disapproving glare.
"Wow, Aunt Harley! Aunt Ivy! You guys look beautiful!" He praised, while Selina used the distraction and headed towards her room to change as well.
Wally walks towards them to study their outfits closer.
Ivy had a black laced up dress on, green heels to go along with her green designer mask. Her makeup consisted of a green eye-shadow and the perfect wing. Bright red lipstick, making her lips stand out. Her red hair down in its natural curls, completing the look.
Ivy's Outfit
He glances at Harley, her dress starting red at the top, coming down to black and back out to a red. Her eye shadow following suit but backwards. Her shoes went to a deep red down to black at the tips. Her lipstick starting black on one side and going into red on the other. Her natural blonde pigtails were down and curled. Her black and red mask in place. He laughs at the obvious Harley Quinn theme she picked out.
Harley's Outfit
"How do you guys plan on keeping your identity a secret if you're making it so noticeable?" He laughed addressing their attire. "But you two do look amazing!"
"Thank you, but we're not exactly trying to hide." Smirked Ivy, a devious glint in her eyes.
"Yea, plus the people in Gotham are too stupid ta notice!" Exclaimed Harley with a smile. "Now! It's time for yer suit!"
She grabs Wally by the hand, dragging him to his room.. Literally dragging him across the floor.
"Aunt Harley! I don't want to wear the monkey suit!"
"Come on Wally, you have to," spoke up Ivy who was speaking for Harley who was grunting while dragging Wally.
They pass by Selina's room who was just stepping out of her room.
They all stopped, Wally getting up and dusting himself off before breathing out, "Wow mom.. You look absolutely stunning."
She wore a black laced down dress, black strap up heels. Her makeup consisted of black eye-shadow, her lips, just like Ivy's, were bright red. To top it off she had a black laced cat mask on.
Selina's Outfit
She smiled, walking over and kissing him on the cheek, "thank you, Kitten."
She pulls back with a fake glare, mentally cheering when he didn't flinch.
"Where's your suit mister?"
"That's what we were tryin' to do!" Exclaimed Harley with a huff. "I mean.. Come on! Imagine all the cute rich dudes you'll be able to dance with!"
Wally stopped with a blush on his face, scratching the base of his neck in a nervous gesture, "Sh-shut up."
They all chuckle while walking towards his room, Wally shuffling behind at a slow pace. Once there Harley, not to gently, pushed him in.
He stumbled a bit before looking back in fear, Selina noticing and whacking Harley on the head. She looked back with a gentle smile, causing Wally to calm down a bit before speaking up, "the suit is in your closet in the back," before gently shutting the door.
He breaths in and out before walking over and reaching in the back of his closet. Pulling out a black suit with a black undershirt, a red tie, and a black mask.
He hurries up and changes into the suit, admiring himself in the mirror for a bit before walking out.
Once he shut the door behind him he looked up and noticed the evil grin the three females were giving him.
"Wh-" "it's missing something!" Interrupted Harley, running out of the room before running back in.
She held something behind her back, Wally trying to peak but not seeing anything.
"Close your eyes~!" She sang out.
"Why?" He questioned back, hands raised a bit out of habit.
"Just do it, Wally, we're not going to hurt you," rationalized Ivy gently. Reluctantly he put his hands down and closed his eyes.
He hears shuffling before feeling something being clipped into his hair. He instantly reaches up to touch it, but his hand was smacked away.
He felt something else being placed on his head again before they stopped.
"Now you can open," purred Selina. He slowly opened his eyes, instantly reaching up to feel what was on his head.
His hands wer snatched away and he was being dragged to the bathroom.
"Wha?" He questioned, confused by the change of course.
Once entering, he instantly looks in the mirror. His eyes widen and a gasp escapes his lips, but it soon turns to a growl.
His eyes narrowed, "what are those?"
"Cat ears," Ivy said with a smirk, arms crossed.
"But why?" He stressed out, looking at the giggling females through the mirror.
"Cause you can't use your real ears! You have to use fake ones!" Harley said like it explained everything.
"Cause Kitten.. 1. They match the suit 2. They match your now red and black hair 3. Your real ears will give away a bit to much. Gotham people may be stupid, but not that stupid." Selina helped explain.
He sighed in frustration before pouting at them, "but this is an insult to me."
All three of them go and kiss him on the cheek, Ivy's leaving a stinging feeling before going away.
"How about we take you out to your favorite restaurant afterward?" Bribed Selina with a smirk, knowing she has him.
He sighed once more in defeat before exclaiming, "fine!"
Wally's Outfit
The three girls cheered as they all walked out of the bathroom heading to the door. Selina turns around, while Harley and Ivy headed towards the elevator and hollered to Wally.
"Get out of the fridge! There's food at the ball!"
His head pops out, a sandwich in-between his teeth, eyes in slits, "but I'm hungry!"
"We're done late!"
"Everyone's just fashionably early Selina!" He laughed running out the door, a few bags of chips in his hands, and heading towards the stairs.
Harley and Ivy looked at Selina as she enters the elevator, "why doesn't he take the elevator?"
She shrugged with a small smile, "he's claustrophobic."
After that they both let it go.
They make it outside, Wally already waiting on them with a smile. Harley and Ivy walk towards their car, Wally running ahead and opening their doors.
He bows and gestures toward the car, "m'ladies."
They giggle at his actions while he runs and does the same for Selina.
Once he's done he hops into the passenger seat, looking at himself in the mirror.
"Should I keep my eyes in slits or normal?"
Selina hummed in response before responding, "slits."
"Alright... Let's get this party started." And they were off.
