I know it’s technically a canon relationship depending on continuity but there’s ship names for canon relationships in DC.

A/N: Wow!! I have been over whelmed by the amount of the support I have received from you guys! I thought I was the only one who shipped these two so its good to know I'm not the only one out there haha! Sorry this chapter is a little later than I planned. I had some other fics to finish and I've been swamped at work for the past few weeks but I got it done eventually! No idea when another chapter will be! I've got a couple of ideas but I'm just taking this a chapter at a time really! If you want to talk to me more about Raquel x Orion (dubbed Rockion by @lattelola) or about this fic then please do not hesitate to ask! Xxxxxxxx

The reception quickly got under way after the ceremony.

As soon as the happy couple had cut the cake, the pair headed straight for the dance floor, with most of the guests hot on their heels.

Finally done with her bridesmaid duties, Raquel scanned the party in search of her boys. Orion was easy to spot, his colossal height and broad shoulders making him stand out even amongst a sea of superheroes. Once she'd spotted Orion, it was easy to find Amistad standing beside him. Unsurprisingly, they stood away from the commotion of the dance floor, near the buffet table that people were currently too busy dancing to pay much attention to.

She saw Amistad tap Orion’s hand before pointing to the cut pieces of cake. Orion handed her son a slice, helping himself to one as well.

Raquel couldn't help but smile as her son eagerly explained to a God the best way to eat a cake.

This is Simone Bekka Ervin, she’s the daughter of the YJ versions of Orion and Rocket/Raquel Ervin. She was originally born in Dakota City but due to how different she was compared to her peers it was agreed that she should live on New Genesis with her dad.

It seemed fun to me and since you are like, the mother of the ship, it seemed fair to send it to you, hahahaha

Lets hope it doesn't contain spoilers of the fic (I would still read it anyway)

Sorry it took me a whole to answer but here you go! (Also mother pf the ship?!?!? I guess I'll take that as compliment! 😂)

Some of them I wasn't really sure on the answer 😅

I think for the most part cus Orion is so big he kinda has to be the big spoon most of the time but sometimes he does enjoy being the little spoons too. Similarly his clothes are so big that Rocket had to be the one the wear them, I don't think he'd fit in hers! 😂

I think for some of the stuff they're fairly even on or I just couldn't really decide about or haven't figured out for my fic yet 😅

Orion doesn't have an earth driving licence so he literally can't drive for shit! 😂 I think Orion can cook but he is a Prince so he's probably used to meals being made for him and I think he prefers plainer foods anyway. And Rocket is single and a mother so she kinda has to make food for herself most days.

And Orion has been around for who knows how long! So he might've had more partners but Rocket has been in more serious ones having previously been married!

A/N: More Raquel x Orion as a continuation of my Weddings and Warpaint story.  I am so sorry this chapter ending up being finished way later then I planned!! Life is just kinda crazy for me right now so I have no idea when I'm going to update again but I do have further cheater planned out! Anyway I hope that you guys enjoy! Xxxxxxxx

So far it had been a fairly normal Wednesday.

In the morning Raquel had resisted the urge to expose her secret identity by silencing her boss in one of her bubbles. And in the afternoon she had saved the world for an alien invasion. The usual.

But in her life, Raquel wondered why she ever expected things to be normal.

She was just getting ready to pick Amistad up from school, searching his room for his woolen hat, when she heard the unmistakable sound of a boom tube.

Acting on instinct, she ran into the living room, her bauble already thrown out ahead of her. Inside she found Oroin, eyes flashing red in shock. As quick as she'd thrown it up, Raquel dropped the bubble.

"Are you okay?" Raquel asked, her concern overriding her suprise. It had been a month since the wedding and had only had the chance to see him once since in another diplomatic meeting between Earth and New Genisis where there had hardly been time to catch up outside of exchanging pleasantries.

"Yes. You have a very quick reaction time." Orion complimented as he steadied his feet after being dropped out of the air.

"Good. Because what the heck where you thinking teleporting into my home!" Raquel shouted, her suprise now overriding her concern.

"I am sorry?" Orion said although it was clear he had no idea what he was apologising for.

"You can't just appear in someone's home!"

"But you have boom tubes in The Watchtower?"

"Yes because they are for work. This is my private home. On Earth, turning up unannounced is very rude." Raquel stated folding her arms.

Orion nodded. "I understand now. As most New Gods on New Genisis have a mother box, it is expected for people to appear directly into their homes. Therefore once again, I appologise."

"It's okay." Raquel sighed, her shock having simmered down. Now she was just glad he hadn't boom tubed into the elder lady's flat across the hall or in the bathroom earlier when she'd had a shower. "There's a hidden boom tube not to far from here that you can use next time. Then you can walk from there to here. If you keep doing it here I'm going to get even more neighbours complaining about all the wierd noises from my flat."

Suddenly Raquel remembered what she's been doing before all the chaos.

"Is there an emergency?" She asked, mentally going through her list of babysitters she could call on such short notice. "Because otherwise, I really need to pick Amistad from school."

"I am concerned about Metron's about using you in an experiment. I came to check if you are alright." Orion stated.

Raquel blinked in suprise.

Sure boom tubing directly into her living room had been a but dramatic but she appreciated his concern. When on missions with the Justice League, obviosuly everyone watached each others backs. But it had been a while since anyone had been so personally worried about her.

"However there is not immiedate concern. Perhaps I could inform you whislt you are on your way to your destination?" Orion suggested.

Raquel thought about it for a moment. It would be easier to kill two birds with one by having Orion update her on the way to the school. She knew how important routine was for Amistad so she really didn't want to be any later than she already was. Plus it was a better idea then asking him to travel halfway across the universe back to New Genisis just to call back in an hour.

"Sure thing!" Raquel agreed before a sudden bump in their plans came to mind. "I don't suppose you have a change of clothes do you?"

"No?" Orion replied glancing down at his bright red spandex suit in confusion.

In the end Raquel leant him a trench coat that once upon a time had been Nobel's back when they started dating but after years of stealing it had become hers. It barely tied across Orion's broad chest so Raquel draped a thick scarf around his neck so that the only part of his costume left on display was his calfs which Raquel was hoping people would assume were running trousers. It was hardly the image of fashionable but it did the job.

On the subway, Orion filled Raquel in on the situation with Metron. Apparently he had shown up at the council randomly and had started asking anybody who'd had any contact with Earth about Kryptonians including Orion who'd told him the New Genisis equviliant of fuck off. Afterwards Orion remembered what Raquel said about Metron doing some kind of experiment involving her, so he had headed straight to Earth to check she was alright, apparently not thinking much beyond that.

Raquel wasn't sure how she had anything to do with Krypton but she wouldn't put it past Metron to be playing some grand game of 4D chess that she had somehow become a pawn in.

It didn't take long until they arrived at Dakota Kindergarten. Thankfully the bell hadn't appeared to have gone yet if the absence of screaming children was anything to go by.

As they entered the playground, Raquel noticed that it hadn't taken long for Orion to start getting strange looks. Whether it was the natural suspicions of parents or unknown adults around their children or the fact that he was a nearly seven foot Goliath of a man with with muscles threatening to break free of the obviously ill fitting coat, Raquel wasn't sure.

"If we're going to keep coming to Earth for missions then we're going to have to get you some civilian clothes." Raquel lent up to whisper in his ear.

Before Orion could reply, a shrill cry called out across the playground.

"Raquel dear!" The voice of PTA president Shirley Summers shouted.

Raquel bit back a sigh. She was fairly certain Shirely hated her guts after backing out last minute of the Christmas fair when it turned out Santa was real and Rocket had to help the Justice League stop him from burning down governments over their capitalisation of Christmas. So she had no idea why Shirely was trying to interact with her now instead of her usual death glares.

"Hey." Raquel said, hoping that the bell would rung out soon in an excuse to escape a conversation that could only end badly.

"Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" Shirely asked, twirled her dyed blonde hair out of her face to reveal an airbrushed smile that showed off too much of her perfectly white teeth.

"Oh yeah. Shirley this is Orion."

Orion nodded politely in greeting.

"So... how do you two know eachother?" Shirely asked in a tone that was far too suggestive for Raquel's liking.

"He's a freinds from work." Raquel replied, hoping that would be enough to pacify Shirely into not telling the entire PTA group chat. Unfortunately it seemed to work a little too well.

"Oh so he's single then?" Shirely asked, taking their silence as an invitation to slide even closer towards them. Of Raquel were to activate her force field right now then shirely would be close enough to be trapped inside.

Plus she could tell that Orion was starting to become uncomfortable with the intrusion into her personal space and the last thing the needed was for him to be triggered into an outburst in the school playground.

"Yes but he works at a different branch. So he's only in Dakota for a couple of days." Raquel told her.

But Shirely deliberately ignored the hint.

"Well, that doesn't mean we can't stay in touch." She said which was the last straw for Raquel. The Justice League member placed herself firmly between Orion and the woman, blocking any of Shirely's attempts to get even closer to him.

Then she plastered on her best press release smile.

"Of course. Unfortubetly we're in a bit of a rush now. But your husband drops young Elizabeth off in the mornings right? I can pass on Orion's contacts tomorrow."

Despite her many layers of fake tan, Shirely's face still managed to pale.

"Oh forget I asked!" She said in too high a pitch of a giggle. "I really don't want to be a bother!"

Thankfully all of then were saved from what could have only become an even more awkward conversation as the school bell rang out. Shirely made her excuses to leave, to find her own daughter.

It wasn't long before Amistad burst out of the main entrance, the entire cohort of kids hot on his tails.

"Hi mama!" He cried, tapping her hand.

"Hello to you too baby!" Raquel smiled, tapping back. She then motioned to the man besides her. "Do you remember my friend Orion?"

Amistad nodded, however Raquel was suprised when he reached up to tap Orion's hand as well. There was very few people Amistad used his special greeting with and even then it had taken them a long time before he initiated it. But he'd only met Orion once before and already used his special greeting. And Raquel was equally shocked when Orion tapped back without question. Usually adults were at best confused or worse insulted by his taps. But Orion had accepted and even reciprocated it without question. She felt the smile on her face grow even larger.

"Is Orion staying for pizza?" Amistad asked as Wednesday was their designated pizza night.

"What is pizza?" Orion asked, turned to Raquel in confusion, making her bite back a snort of laughter.

"Well, I guess that answers that question then! If you don't have to rush back home of course."

Orion shook his head.

"No. And I would be honoured to join you for the celebration of pizza."

She couldn't hold back her laughter this time, trying to disguise it by burying her head in her handbag to get out Amistad's hat.

He took it, eagerly putting it straight in his head of curls.

"Now pizza!" He declared, placing one hand in Raquel's and the other in Orions.

I hadn't either! Not at the start of Rocket's arc anyway! I can't remember when exactly I started shipping them but it was sometime as thay arc was going on and now I'm obsessed 😅.

Yeah I think that's something they've both got to seriously take into consideration and might be the main thing holding them back from getting together.

I don't mind!! Send me as many asks for either of then as you want haha!!

Hahaha!! I hadn't really thought about Orion with fangs but yes when he's angry they do look pointer than normal!
