《Supergirl》Chapter 19

'
Tonight my family including my twin brother were going to the Kents. To say I was excited would be a lie. I had always been jealous of my brother. He had been the perfect child. My parents always talked about him and sent him to the athletic school. I was just there like oh yeah and that's Johnny. It made me so mad to be left out. Like they didn't care about me.
Now he was back to take the spotlight once again.
"Alright Johnny ready to go?" My mother yelled from downstairs.
"Yeah, just a sec." I replied looking at my appearance in the mirror. I had decided to throw on jeans work boots, and a plaid button up shirt. I rolled up the sleeves to give it at least a little style.
I walked out of my room almost running into my twin brother.
"Watch out man." he said laughing. He had on tan jeans with converse and a jean button up unbuttoned with a white v-neck. We weren't identical, but had similar features.
We made our way downstairs and into the car. I threw on my headphones and listened to music while my family talked about my brother's life at his school. I turned up my music to block out their voices. I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked up at my mother. I took off my headphones to see what she wanted.
"We're here." she said and I got out. We walked up to there house and it looked like an everyday house. Red bricks with a black garage. We walked inside greeted by Chris' parents. I saw Chris behind them and she offered me a small smile.
"Hey Kent." I greeted and she smiled.
"'Sup Greene." she replied and I smiled in return. My brother came in last pushing me to the side. Before I could look back I heard.
"Jay?!"
"Chrissy?!"
And so the drama begins as my twin brother Jake sees Chris his childhood crush. I had recognized Chris right away, but she didn't recognize me. When we were little I had a little crush on her, but she never talked to me it was always Jake. So in the end when we moved to Gotham I let it go. My brother really liked her and moving was hard for him. He was totally oblivious when my mom said we were going to the Kents.
Sadly, I was gonna spend my night standing there awkwardly while they catch up. That's how it always is.

"Johnny are you gonna take off your shoes?" My mom asked smiling at how I was just standing there thinking. I walked into the living room to see Jake and Chris talking and laughing and I sat down across from them and took out my phone.

I walked up to the door to greet the Greene's and Johnny greeted me with his usual 'Kent' so I replied the same. He was moved out of the way by another guy who was wearing sunglasses. As he took them off there was no mistaking who he was. He looked like the same thirteen year old I had a crush on for years.
"Jay?!" I yelled which was the nickname I had for Jake when we were little.
"Chrissy?!" He yelled using my nickname. I ran up and hugged him and took in the familiar scent. I looked into his chocolate brown eyes and smiled at him.
"It's been like five years." I said and he shook his head.
"Five years to long." he replied hugging me tighter. I looked over at Johnny and he was deep in thought. I lead Jake into our living room and we sat down on the couch. "I didn't know you lived in Gotham." he said to me still smiling.
"I got here about three weeks ago. You never told me you were moving to Gotham when you left." I said pursing my lips. "I really did miss you. Eating gummy worms by myself wasn't the same." I said smiling at the memory of eating gummy worms together. Every time we hung out we always ate gummy worms and now I'm addicted.
"So how is it being Supergirl?" He asked smirking. I looked at him with wide eyes and he just chuckled. "I knew it was you the moment I saw you on TV. I just had no idea why you were in Gotham."
"How did you know it was me?" I questioned raising my eyebrow.
"Let's not forget the incident at the bowling alley." he said still smirking. I faced palmed because I had totally forgotten he knew.
"Well since you wanted to know, it's been good. Interesting at times, but fun." I answered smiling. Just as my thoughts were about to jump back to NightWing my mom interrupted.
"Dinner!" She called and we all walked to the table. As we got up I looked over at Johnny and he looked so bored. Had it always been like this when me and Jake were friends?

I sat across from Jake and beside Johnny. Why hadn't he told me that Jake was his brother?
"Why didn't you tell me?" I whispered speaking my mind.
"I didn't even recognize you." He whispered back, his face filling with guilt. I didn't want to push the matter. Dinner was normal. My family just asked questions about what the Greenes were doing now and Jake talked about his school. Johnny was quiet the whole time eating little of dinner. He looked so bored and out of place.
After dinner Jake walked up to me and took me to the door.
"Hey do you wanna go for a walk like we used to?" Jake asked putting on his converse.
"Sure why not." I said shrugging. "Mom! We're going for a walk." I yelled and she agreed. I threw on some random shoes and grabbed my phone. We walked into the night and down my driveway.
"I had no idea you were in Gotham." he said shaking his head. "I should probably just say that when I was little... I had the biggest crush on you." he said chuckling. "When my parents decided to move I was so mad." he finished.
"I could say the same." I said putting my hands in my pocket. We came up to a variety store and Jake stopped. "Why did you stop?" I asked and he smiled.
"To get some gummy worms." he answered and I smiled too. "Wait here."
I leaned against the wall and saw someone sitting on a bench across the street. He was looking down at his phone typing something. The light of his phone didn't give much light. I could tell he had black hair, but that was it. He put his phone up to his ear waiting tapping his foot. My phone started ringing and I looked at the caller ID.
Rick Grayson
I clicked the answer button and put it up to my ear.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey it's Rick. I was wondering. If we could talk. Together somewhere... maybe my house." he said at once obviously nervous.
"I think you should look across the street." I said laughing lightly at the end. He looked up and saw me. He started smiling and ended the call. He crossed the street and put his hands in his pocket.
"H-hey Chris." Rick greeted. He took his hands out of his pockets and swiftly walked toward me. He engulfed me in a hug which took me by surprise. "I'm so sorry." he said genuinely.
"No, no. It's my fault, I'm sorry." I replied hugging him back.
"I couldn't stand avoiding you any longer." Rick continued backing away. I looked in the variety store window and Jake was on his way out.
"I'm just glad we have it cleared up." I said giving him a small smile. Jake walked out popping gummy worms in his mouth.
"Hey who's this." Jake asked swallowing.
"Oh Jake this is Rick. Rick this is my childhood friend Jake." I said to them both smiling.
"Hey nice to meet you." Jake greeted shaking his hand lightly. Jake ate another gummy worm like he didn't have a care in the world.
"Yeah, uh, hey." Rick greeted awkwardly not returning the shake. "We've met before." Rick continued scratching the back of his neck. Why was he so uncomfortable?
"Really?" I said surprised.
"I went to Johnny's house and met Jake." Rick continued pursing his lips. We stood there awkwardly for about another ten seconds. I was about to break the silence when someone else did.
"Well we better continue our walk Chris." Jake suggested and I shook my head.
"Yeah and I want some of those gummy worms." I replied trying to lighten the mood. We continued to walk and talk about past things we had done together. It was so nice to be with my childhood friend again.
-------------------------------------
'
I knew Jake had a crush on Chris. He has liked her for years. I still sorta liked Chris, but seeing her with Jake kinda made me jealous. That's why I felt so nervous around them and awkward.
I made my way back to the mansion and walked up the large swirling staircase. As I walked into my room and closed my door I just wanted to go to bed.
My NightWing watch vibrated on my dresser and I picked it up to see what the message read.
Come to the warehouse or she's dead:)
Someone must if hacked my watch! I went back to see the contact number or name and it was none other than. Mr.J
