#jaaaaaa

Yesterday was the anniversary of the "JAAAA gate" (3 years already), and neither Holger nor Casper were there to celebrate. 💔

"Kggh, Batboy to Wingman, coast is clear, i'm getting more scrap, kggh."

"Tssj, roger that, batboy. I'm at our hideout, tssj."

Bam peeked over the trash container he was hiding behind. He was 'batboy" and Redbird was "Wingman." They were having a junk fight with the Legion of Zoom. It was simple, really: each of them had a red lamp tied on them and they would throw junk, scrap and trash at each other, and the last car driving that still had a lamp on won because if your lamp detached, you were out. They had all given each other nicknames, because after all, it makes it more fun. They had teamed up in duo's and Bam and Redbird were together. Bam had lost sight of Prank, and so he silently drove to the scrap pile.

Meanwhile, close by, a gigantic monstertruck hid behind a pile of scrap, talking to his teammate, a small motorcycle.

"Tssj," Bibi improvised through her earbud. "Stardust to Grave Digger, do you copy? Tssj."

"Kgk, Grave Digger copies, Stardust, kgk," Buff said through the earbud.

"Okay, go to the left, theres a huge scrap pile there. But Banana Split might be there, so watch out!"

Bam was driving back to the place he had a hideout with Redbird, when suddenly, Prank drove right through a pile of junk.

"Hiya Batbro! Nice red lamp you got there! Do you mind if i take it?" He threw junk at Bam, but the batmobile was able to dodge.

"Good thing i just reloaded!" Bam threw a garbage can at Prank and drove away.

"Oh, youre on now, Bamster!" Prank chased Bam trough his path. "Kggh, Burrito to Ariana Grande, i'm chasing Batboy through the Recycle Pass. Cut off the road so he has nowhere to go!"

"Kggh, Ariana Grande to Burrito, Batboy is going down! Kggh."

Bam started laughing. "You won't get me that easily, Prank!"

"You just watch!" Prank threw a kliko at Bam.

"Kggh, Ariana Grande to Burrito, Theres no escape for Batboy, i'm at the pass, kggh."

Bam broke right before Jestah blocking his way. "Going somewhere, batboy?" She pulled out a scrap ball and threw it at Bam. Bam dodged. "Kggh Wingman, i- AAH! - need immediate assistence at Recycle Pass - WOAH! - Burrito and Ariana Grande are - AAAH! - creating problems!! - NO NO NO! AAA!"

Prank laughed hysterically. "Youre out, buddy! Youre out!"

Bam took a jump and jumped over Bam, followed by Prank and Jestah while laughing Things had become so much better. It started with Buff and Snowy already, but now him and his friends actually hung out with the Zoomers like one big group. Besides, they were growing up, Bam was nearly 16 now and the world around him was changing. When they were still very young, he mainly had a rivalry with Prank, but now they were really close. Yeah, their drivers sure fought each other almost every day, but Bam and Prank had actually become pretty close. It was Pranks 15th birthday today, so the Zoomers had invited the Batwheels over for a scrap fight.

And it was FUN!

While throwing scrap over his schouder, Bam noticed Quizz, flying out of a scrap pile and going to sit on a little building. "RiddlerRizzler to Frozen Chosen, i have eye on Wingman."

"Wingman!" Bam shouted loudly. "RiddlerRizzler is gonna attack you!"

Quizz shot out of his hiding spot and threw trash at Bam. "Nuh uh!"

"Oh yeah!" Bam used his mechanical arm to throw it back, with Prank and Jestah joining in with him. Redbird came from behind with an entire window.

"FOR OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, LIGHTNING MCQUEEN!"

Loud shattering filled the place, and when Bam openend his eyes, Quizz's lamp was off, there were glass shards everywhere and Redbird had a huge grin on his face.

"You see, if you pray to Lightning McQueen every night, he blesses you with extreme power. And a clean bumper."

"Where did you even get that massive window, you raspberry?" Prank questioned.

"Oh, i got it from over there. It was chilling behind a container. Just coudlnt leave it there!"

- later

"...And then Snowy yeeted the trash can and we beat Ducky!"

"Ah, yeah."

Bam and Prank were driving on the street. The rest of the Batwheels and the Zoomers were still at the scrap yard.

"Thanks for inviting us, Prank."

"Ah, no problem! You didnt live if you have not had at least one trash fight in your life!" Prank stretched his tires. "Oh man. I feel good!"

Bam nodded without saying anything. Prank looked down at his boyfriend. "You okay?"

"Yes, i feel great. I'm just letting this whole day sink in." He looked at Prank, who was looking at him. Immediatly Bams eyes were hooked into Prank's. "I enjoyed today. Thank you."

A soft smile appeared on Pranks face. "Glad you did."

Bam turned his face forwards. He and Prank had to go for more drives.

"Bam, can i ask you something?"

"Of course, whats up?" Bam asked.

"Uhm, i don't know about you, but i haven't told Joker about... us yet.. have you told Batman?"

"No, i wanna wait for a little bit," Bam answered. "Why?"

"Well, i don't think.. Batman, uhm, i just feel like, he wont- hes not gonna.." Prank was frantically thinking of words. "I fear that Batman.. wont approve of me being with you," he finally said. "All i think of when telling our drivers about this, Batman isnt gonna accept me being with you."

"Prank!" Bam said. "Of course he's gonna approve of us! He likes you!"

Prank smiled and rolled his eyes. "Definitley not. Why in the world would you out of everybody choose me? Hes gonna wonder that even more then i am."

"Well, i choose you out of everyone in the world because i love you," Bam replied with a smile. "And you make me really happy. Youre funny, you invite me over to garbage fights, you climb roofs with me and race with me on piers! Nobody i have ever known takes me to do those things!"

"But i'm nothing like you," Prank mumbled under his breath.

"Prank, youre everything i could ever wish for in a boyfriend," Bam said while driving closer. "Without you, i probably would still have been in the same patrols and same missions, i would have never gotten to be a teen. You showed me things i have never known, and no one has ever done that with me." Bam smiled. "I appreciate you, Prank. And even if Batman somehow doesnt, because i promise you he will, i will always do it."

Pranks eyes had become softer. The look in his eyes wasnt tense anymore, just relaxed. "Thank you, Bam," he said. "That was... thank you."

Bam smiled back. "No problem. We can wait with telling as long as we wish. Batman doesnt suspect anything for as far as i know."

"I'll figure it out. Joker will probably be okay with it. My only concern is Batman." Prank replied.

"I'll handle my driver, you handle yours," Bam said while turning his wheels around. "Don't worry, we'll be fine."

Prank smiled. "Okay. I trust ya on that."

It was quiet for a second. Then Prank came forwards and softly kissed Bam on the fender. "See ya!" He said while driving into the scrap yard.

"Yeah, later!" Bam watched him with a smile. "Prank kissed me," he whispered with a smile. "Prank kissed me!" he said as he slowly started driving home. "I just got kissed by Prank!"

Immediatly a million imaginary scenarios showed up in Bams head about kissing Prank - from wich most of them he could not believe he was thinking of - but he soothed himself by saying it was part of being his age, at least thats what BC said. Either way, he was sure Batman would approve of their relationship. He did understand Prank's concerns, because it was Batman after all, but Bam was sure everything was gonna be fine. He knew Batman. Batman would approve of it.

Returning to the batcave, Bam wasnt surprised to find everybody awake.

"Bam!" Bibi sped up to her brother. "Where were ya, bro? Staying out with Prank, huh?" She grinned. "You two still a thing?"

"Yeah! And guess what? He kissed me!" Bam made a small rear. "On my fender!"

"Awwww!" Bibi zoomed. "Thats so cute!"

"Ew! You're kissing too now?!" Redbird shuddered. "I'm telling Batman!"

"No! No no!" We want to wait! I'll tell him when Prank is comfortable with it!" Bam insisted. "Redbird, no."

Redbird rolled his eyes. "I was joking, Bam."

MOE was shaking his head. "Bam, please choose wisely in stuff like this. I still don't think Prank really.. uhm.."

"I think he's everything i need and like," Bam said abruptly with a smile. "He makes me happy."

"I'm seriously on the brink of telling Batman, but you're 16, you can make your own descisions." MOE grabbed a wrench and swung it over his shoulder. "If Prank does anything out of the ordinary i'll come at him myself."

"I don't think he would, and even if he did, i would be handling it myself," Bam said coldly. "If he ever did somehow. Because he won't," he said after receiving an unimpressed look from MOE.

"MOE, be a little more supportive." This was the first time Batwing intervened in an argument between Bam and MOE about Prank. "We went to the Legion of Zoom TODAY, Prank is seriously nice! He's super sweet to Bam. Why are you so negative about them?"

"You're acting like i'm against the fact that he's dating another boy. Do you think i am?"

"If i didnt know you as well as i do, i would."

"Well, then i have good news for you," MOE said, clearly getting frustrated, but keeping it together. "I have no problem at all with wether Bam is dating a boy or a girl. What concerns me is the particular boy he likes."

"Why does Prank concern you tho?" Redbird asked.

"Why does the car owned by the Joker that continuously commits vandalism, steals things, throws with trash and swears way too much dating someone i care about concern me?" MOE asked.

Then the lift came down and Batman and Batgirl entered the Batcave. "Hey, guys!" Batgirl said happily. "What kinda party's going on in here?"

"Are we interrupting something?" Batman asked MOE.

Bam saw MOE was biting his tongue to not say anything. "No, Batman, absolutely not. We were just talking, no problems."

Bam almost sighed in relief going to his garage. MOE was a strange guy. As unsupportive of he was about Bam being with Prank he did help keeping in from Batman. Bam settled in his garage. "MOE will learn to accept us," he thought. "Come on, its MOE. He loves us. He's just worried about me."

"But Prank isnt a reason for concern."

"He just isnt."
