So I did a fan fic trade with @fr0zen-waffle. She wrote me an adorable Dick and Kaldur fic which you can find here and I wrote her some Bart and Ed.
It took Ed a while to find Bart. The speedster had been sitting on top of the Central City Library. It was the last place Eduardo would have thought to look. Bart wasn’t a big reader.
Bart was sitting down, looking out at the city. The redhead was quiet as Eduardo sat down next to him. They were silent as they sat, looking at the city. The people below them were unaware of two heroes watching them. They were also unaware of the person who had died. The woman who was no longer with them. The beautiful, amazing, perfect Joan Garrick was gone.
“Hey,” Eduardo nudged Bart.
Silence settled between them.
“She’s gone,” Bart finally said. “Just like that.”
Eduardo nodded, but he said nothing.
“It seems like no one cares,” Bart continued. “Joan is gone, and yet everyone is acting as if things are the same.”
Eduardo scooted closer. Bart leaned against him, sighing sadly as he continued to watch the people below him.
“Someone does care,” Eduardo said. “You do. Garrick, Iris, and Barry care. And I care too. Joan may be gone, but she won’t be forgotten.”
“I know, everyone keeps saying that,” Bart sighed dramatically. “I still don’t think it’s fair that she’s gone.”
“I know,” Eduardo wrapped an arm around Bart. “You in the mood for some ice cream?”
“No,” Bart paused. “Maybe.”
“It’ll be my treat,” Eduardo nudged Bart. “Come on. You can tell me some great stories about Joan.”
“You can get whatever you want compañero,” Eduardo stood up. “Come on.”
He offered Bart his hand. The redhead stared it before taking it. Eduardo pulled him, wrapped his arm around Bart and he teleported the two of them to his favorite ice cream shop.
