Five Ways Ted Didn't Find Out About Booster's Vasectomy
1. Live
"For those of you just joining us, we're here with current and former Justice League members," the bouffanted woman said, flashing her pearly whites at the camera. "And we'll be taking questions from the audience now."
A hubbub rose from the audience before quieting down again when one of its number was chosen by the man with the microphone.
"Booster Gold? Is the rumor true? Is Monica Lake pregnant with your child?"
Grinning in amusement, Booster shook his head. "Absolutely not. I--"
"But how can you be sure?" the audience member persisted.
Booster shifted in his seat and then shrugged. "For one thing, we barely dated and that was years ago," he said. "For another, it's just not possible. I had a vasectomy way before I ever even heard of her."
Turning slightly, Beetle punched him in the arm.
"Ow!" Booster protested, grabbing the injured spot. "What was that for?"
"You never told me," Beetle said, sounding hurt.
"Well it's not like I had to worry about you getting knocked up."
Silence greeted his statement and it took Booster a moment to realize why Beetle was glaring at him.
"Oh. Um...oops?"
Beetle punched him in the arm again.

2. After
Ted frowned suspiciously when Booster hesitantly approached him. "What?" he asked.
Expression wavering between nervous and embarrassed, Booster rubbed the back of his neck and stared down at his feet. "I...need a favor."
"What kind of favor?" Ted asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I need to check something," Booster said slowly.
"Is this about Monarch healing you?"
Booster nodded reluctantly, then glanced up at him. "I want to know if he...fixed something I didn't want fixed."
Now Ted was worried. Reaching out to touch Booster's shoulder, he asked, "Fixed what?"
After a moment's indecision, Booster leaned closer and whispered in Ted's ear. Ted stared at him, thinking he had misheard. "Your what?"
Booster sighed and ran a hand over his face. "My vasectomy," he muttered. "I need to know if that got 'fixed' along with the rest of me."
"So why are you asking me?"
"C'mon, Ted, you've been practically my live-in doctor and nurse while I was stuck in that armor," Booster said as if it were obvious. "I thought you'd know how to check."
Ted stared at him for a moment, thinking it over, then said flatly, "I'll need a sample."
"Of what?"
Raising an eyebrow, Ted asked, "What do you think?"
"Oh. Right." Booster frowned thoughtfully. "When?"
Ted shrugged, trying to hide the awkward feeling crawling in his gut. "I've got some time this afternoon. So...whenever."
"I'll go...do that, then."
"In a cup," Ted blurted as it suddenly occurred to him.
"Oh right. Um, paper okay?"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
They stared at each other for a moment, eyes darting away from any actual contact, then Booster nodded decisively and stepped closer. Before Ted could say anything, Booster cupped the back of his head and kissed him.
Kissing back was, of course, purely instinct.
At least that's what Ted was telling himself.
When Booster finally pulled back, he smiled shyly. "I'll go take care of that, now."
Unable to think of a response, Ted just nodded and watched his friend leave.
Later, it was determined that Monarch had indeed reversed Booster's vasectomy, but by then it wasn't as much of a worry.

3. Doubtfully
"You do not!"
"I do!" Booster protested, spreading his arms as he followed Ted.
Ted stopped and turned to face him, expression flatly disbelieving. "You got a vasectomy when you were born?"
"Well not when I was born, no," Booster clarified, shaking his head. "Postnatal vasectomies are illegal." He paused, a strange look crossing his face. "Were ill--Will be--Anyway I had mine when I was about a year old, just like everyone else."
Lowering an eyebrow, Ted's expression was incredulous. "Everyone?"
Booster shrugged. "Yeah. It controls population growth. If you want to have kids, you go to a family planning center and take some tests. If you pass, they undo the operation."
"I don't even--They do that to kids?"
"Well medicine's a lot more advanced in the future," Booster said with a grin, rolling his eyes. "It's not even as serious a procedure as, say, a circumcision would be now."
Ted stared at him for a moment, then finally asked, "How'd we even get started talking about this?"
"Beats me."
Thinking that over, Ted shook his head and started for the door again. "C'mon, Booster. After this conversation, I think I need a drink."

4. Before
"You sure you want to go through with this, buddy?"
Booster blew out a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair. It sprang back into place, stylish and attractive, as soon as his hand had passed.
"Ted, I...I don't want to become some 'I'm my own grandpa' cliche," he said slowly.
"Well in your case you would actually be your own distant relative--"
"Ted..."
Holding his hands up placatingly, Ted smiled at his friend. "I know, I know, I get it."
Booster smiled weakly in response. "I just don't want to take the risk."
"When'd you get so mature?"
Snorting in response, Booster opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted when the nurse called, "Mr. Carter? The doctor will see you now."
As Booster stood up to follow her, Ted caught his hand and gave it a brief squeeze.
"You're a brave man, Booster Gold."
"Yeah..."

5. Theodora
When Ted's back hit the wall, they were already tangled up in each other, desperate to get closer.
As Booster undid Ted's belt, she tilted her head away from their kiss enough to gasp, "Condom!"
Fingers squirming under the tight material of her costume, Booster breathed, "Vasectomy."
Ted shuddered and gave a breathy gasp, crushing her mouth against his again. Reaching up, she buried her hands in Booster's hair, arms framing the man's head.
Then there was semi-nudity and Booster panted against Ted's mouth as he cupped her ass, holding her in place as he slid into her welcoming heat. Booster paused, letting Ted adjust, and reflected that the woman had really great thighs. They were hard and strong and wrapped around his waist like she never wanted to let go and Booster was so completely okay with that.
A full-body shiver ran through Ted, indicating she was ready, and she arched against him, breasts pressed firmly against Booster's chest.
Ted also had an amazing pair of tits. Some of the best Booster had ever seen, in fact. Granted, they weren't on the same level as Power Girl's, but Power Girl was Kryptonian, or Atlantian, or whatever she was this week. For a human, Ted had an excellent rack.
Which brought to mind the possibility of Ted and Power Girl together, which was...mind-blowing. And even though it would probably be suicide to suggest it to PG, Ted would consider it. Which was why Ted was probably the best girlfriend in the history of girlfriends ever.
Ted gave a throaty chuckle. "What're you thinking about?"
"You and Peeg," Booster admitted, smoothing a hand up to the small of Ted's back and dipping his head to lick at the sheen of sweat covering Ted's exposed breasts.
"Oh!" Ted gasped, hips jerking. "Jeez. That would be--"
"Really hot," Booster groaned, licking up Ted's neck and into her mouth.
Ted made an encouraging sound of agreement in her throat, then sucked hard on Booster's tongue. In response, Booster moved his arm to wrap around her back and put more force behind his thrusts.
Gasping, Ted released Booster's tongue and pressed her lips to his ear to whisper dirty, filthy, beautiful things to him. Sparks shot up and down Booster's spine, building up, and he tilted his head to suck at the spot under Ted's jaw that always made her--
"Oh god!"
Ted shuddered around and against him, biting her lip as she tightened her arms and legs. Booster followed her over the edge, groaning into the curve of her neck.
They held on to each other for a moment, riding the wave of orgasm together. Then Ted sighed contentedly and relaxed, leaning her head back against the wall to smile at Booster.
Her expression was soft and vulnerable, and Booster was pretty sure he was the only one who ever got to see her like that. Ted was tough, she had to be. She was a hero, businesswoman, and scientist in a male-dominated world. Gender equality was better than it used to be, but it still hadn't reached the level that Booster had grown up with.
So Ted was tough, and moments like this were reserved just for Booster.
Booster leaned over and gently kissed Ted's soft smile, feeling warm inside.
They parted, Ted staggering slightly as she regained her feet, and pulled their costumes back into place. A few more kisses and touches were exchanged during and after.
Short auburn hair messy, cheeks flushed, and a light sheen of sweat on her, Ted glanced up at him, grinning, and said, "Want to grab a shower and watch the game?"
Best. Girlfriend. Ever.
