jen_in_japan's JSA week. Betaed by the wonderful arch_schatten.
Michael was on Monitor Duty. It was almost surprising how often he was the one who got roped into doing this, covering the other's shifts. He didn't mind. Even when he could tell by the twinkle in the younger member's of the JSA's eyes (and, sometimes, the older members too) that they were actually sneaking off to have fun, not going to appointments, he didn't begrudge them. While it might look like he was a pushover, it really gave him time to think. Part of his mind focused on the monitors, half thinking up new 'toys', and how to improve his current ones, the other half on his lovers. He smiled softly.
He knew it would come as a surprise to his teammates, if, or when, they discovered that he was in a relationship. Well, nearly all of them. Pieter knew for obvious reasons. And then there was the time when Wildcat had walked in on them... Michael smirked. The look on his face had been priceless. So had the look on Clark's. He laughed softly to himself. He was so very lucky.
And so happy. After Paula's death he had thought that he would never be happy again, never know what it would be like to smile again. But, the Spectre had saved him, shown him what he could do... and he had. He had joined the JSA, and was welcomed into the family, eventually becoming their chairman. And he had been content, if not happy. But, then he had met Bruce.
Batman had come to the JSA's headquarters to spar with Wildcat and everyone had gone to watch the two great fighters. Michael had been completely captivated by Batman's gracefulness, his flowing movements. He had recognized some of his moves, being a black belt in several martial arts himself, but most were completely foreign to him.
Later, after the sparring session was over, Batman beating Wildcat by one round, much to Wildcat's chagrin, he had gone to his workshop and had been surprised to see Batman there, poking through his equipment and designs. They had instantly bonded, talking rapidly about this device, and a way to improve that, to Courtney's shaking head when she popped in, hours later that neither he nor Batman had noticed going by, saying, awed, that Superman was on the comm, wondering if the JSA had kidnapped Batman? And if they had, could the JLA have him back, please? Batman had rolled his eyes slightly, and left. But, he had returned a week later, and he brought some of his own 'toys' with him, and they had spent nearly all the night swapping ideas.
He had fallen in love with Bruce slowly, Michael supposed. His heart was still scared and wary after losing Paula, and he hadn't thought that Bruce could ever feel the same towards him. But, eventually, he had gathered up the courage to voice his feelings. His heart had been shattered when Bruce had softly explained that he was in a committed relationship with Superman. But, then, unbelievably, Bruce had come to him less than two weeks later, saying that he had talked with Clark, and would he be interested in joining them? He had been hesitant at first, but under Bruce and Clark's combined attention, he soon forgot his fears. And he was finally happy again.
Michael grinned. He would finish Monitor Duty in a little over an hour, and go to the Manor, where he would soon be joined by Bruce and Clark. Yes, he was one of the luckiest and most content people on the planet.
