Nightwing couldn't help but smile a bit, "They won't know what hit 'em"

"Right, now, superboy?" Robin nodded to the half kryptonian.

Immediately Superboy walked over to Nightwing, threw him over his shoulder and began heading back to the cot where Nightwing had been resting.

Pietro and Kid Flash laughed while Nightwing protested, "I can walk back!" he exclaimed, unable to struggle enough to get off Superboy's shoulder.

Sting Ray couldn't help but chuckle as well and waved, "See you later, Nightwing. I leave him in your hands." She leapt back into Pietro's arms after the laughter ended. "Sooo... Paris?"

"France I presume?" Pietro asked with a smile. His geography skills had improved a lot since joining in on missions and actually having to figure out where they were going. Last time they had a mission in Paris, he hadn't expected them to go to Canada.

She grinned, "Such a clever man. "She kissed his cheek. It was kinda hot when Pietro used his brains. "And yes."

"Bye everybody!" Pietro stated and before anyone else could say bye, they were gone. He made a pit stop at Newfoundland for a bite to eat before crossing the ocean but soon enough they were in Paris France for a lovely vacation.

They sat in a cafe near the Eiffel Tower, having tea and biscuits as the sun set in the distance. "Mmm..." She set her Raspberry Black Currant tea down, "This is perfect. I love traveling with you. I never have to step foot in a plane. <3"

"Ah, now I know why you love, it's for my free travel" Pietro teased, "I see how it is" he finished off a croissant.

"Nooo..." She stood up and leaned over the table, a few inches from his face, "You know how antsy I can get in a plane and this way... I can spend more time with the one I love." She said sexy-fully biting into the little bit of croissant that was left in his hand. "Besides, you get antsy too."

((lawl, time skip? What's next?))

(Ja. Ummm.... Reach nabbing Ciara? Cute moments with Pietro?)

The two continued their romantic get away with various stops around Europe. Which included: Stone hedge, Big Ben, and tons of museums. Ciara enjoyed every since min of it. It was nice to be able to go do whatever they wanted without someone telling them they couldn't. That they had responsibilities to take care of or it was good for their health etc.

Pietro sped off to use the bathroom in a mall they'd stopped to get a bit to eat in. Ciara continued to wander as it won't be hard for Pietro to find her. And she wasn't wandering too far anyways. She sat down on a white and pink bench and stared out at the two stores in front of her. One was designed for infants wares and the other was a bridal shop with big puffy princess dresses in the window.

She sipped on her smoothie and blushed slightly while staring at the dresses. She wondered if Pietro and her would ever get married. Or if he'd actually pop the question... Probably not, as she had been the one who had to initiate their relationship in the first place. She wondered how he'd do it if he did propose... Would he get down on one knee, pull a little box out of his pocket or would he be more imaginive like, placing it in a wine glass or spring the question on her after a rather intense fight or on a big jumbo torn at those football games.

Or did he even want their relationship to advance to the next level? What were his thoughts on having kids? Whenever she tried to bring up the thought of what ifs she'd get all blushy and change the subject. Having little kids running around their house... House. They didn't even live together and here she was daydreaming about their lives together... Such a normal thing to do... Which for Ciara didn't happen often. Usually they were busy thinking about what army or evil force was trying to take over the world... She didn't have a lot of time to be a girl. To dress up in pretty dresses, with her hair all tied back.

She looked down at her stomach and then the infants wares store. She was a couple days late. But that could be for a number of reasons, including the stress and worry she'd had over Nightwing. Mind you, her period hadn't been really regular since coming off that drug Lex Luthor had made.

That man, if she ever came face to face with him... She surely punch him in the face. How dare he make something so terrible.

"Daydreaming of a life that could be?" spoke a very familiar and bone-chilling voice. Lex Luther himself was sitting on the bench that was back to back with hers. He held a newspaper in his hands, browsing the business sections.

She tensed up a little but didn't move. "Huh... That explains why it suddenly got brighter in here."

"You sat next to me my dear" he replied casually, "But do tell me, how were the withdraw symptoms? We never seem to get a chance to study that aspect"

Ciara rested her arm along the top of the bench, pointing her fingers behind her. Water from the water fountain in front of Lex's bench, suddenly splashed a little harder than normal and before you knew what was happening, several small water needles surrounded Lex's body. Now these weren't large, they were just big enough to see if you were right next to them and seeing how they seemed to be in a rather deserted part of the mall at the moment... And All pointed at pressure points and vital organs. "How would you like to find out?"

"Now now, play nice." Rang another voice as Klarion the Witch Boy appeared beside Lex Luthor.
"Well that explains how you found me..." Ciara didn't even look down when the feline familiar, Teekl, jumped up onto her lap. She put her drink down and started to scratch the kitty's chin.
"Teekl..." Klarion puffed. Apparently he didn't like how his familiar enjoyed being petted.

Lex didn't even blink, her merely flipped the page to the next section on the newspaper, "No need to be rude Ciara, I haven't had a chance to talk to much lately. I was just hoping to catch up."

"That's Miss McCoy to you." She snapped back, retreating the water around him to the palm of her hand, which was still resting on the back of the bench. She turned it into a piece of string and Teekl rolled onto her back and started batting at it. "Whatever do you mean? You saw me just yesterday." Mystic would send her cliff notes on all her encounters, making sure when Ciara took back over her duties that she knew exactly what 'she' had been doing, who she'd talked to etc.

"No, I saw Mystique yesterday" Luther corrected, "You've been spending your time in Gotham and then perusing around Europe with your boyfriend while she covers for you"

Ciara sat up a bit and turned her head, "How the hell-..." She paused and sighed, sitting back. This was Luther, Mystique had had her suspicions about him. Guess they were right. But Pietro and her had only been going around for the last couple of days... Where the hell was he getting his information?!

"Fine, you saw Mystique... I presume this isn't a social gathering, so let's get down to the point. What do you want?" She didn't move her head but she was looking around... if two members of the Light were here... how many more were in the shadows and what did they want.

"I was wondering if you could do me a favor and come in to Luther Laboratories with me" Lex replied simply, "evidently the Reach have a curiosity about you"

"And that curiosity would be what exactly?" She asked bluntly. There was no way in hell she was going anywhere with this man willingly. She knew better. Plus at the word of a Lab her eye twitched slightly.

"Evidently you have a very advanced x-genome" Luther explained casually, "we would like to better understand it, to better understand mutantkind."

Ciara grew silent, having stopped playing with the small cat on her lap. It meowed, displeased that she stopped and hopped over to her master.

"But you already knew that didn't you?" Klarion stated, calmly, petting his familiar, guessing her answer.

Of course she knew. It had been very clear to her that she was never to let anyone know about it. Phil and Horatio had made it clear that it wasn't something to bring up but the chances of someone finding this out were slim. Because Modern technology wasn't advanced enough to detect it. But the Reach... their tech was much more advanced..

She felt her breathing becoming shallow. Why wasn't Pietro back yet? This was bad..."I'm afraid I would have to deny such a request, Mr. Luther."

"It's a shame you feel that way" Luther replied with a sigh, "I'm afraid my associates will have to insist" he stood, folding up his paper, "Goodbye Ms. McCoy" and with that he walked away, a sign for the others to move in. After all, Lex Luther himself couldn't be seen kidnapping the girl.

Klarion turned in his seat, a wide grin on his face, "Now the fun really begins." His familiar meowed and grew into the size of a tiger.

Ciara jumped off the bench and spun around and slammed down on her SOS belt buckle. It had become a requirement for all members of the X-Squad to start wearing them even in their normal clothes. Hers had been rigged so that it would also send out a distress call to Batman as well. She was also close enough to Pietro that it would notify him as well.

"PIETRO!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, dodging a few magic balls and rushing down hall. She prayed he had just gotten distracted by something and not captured.
