Happy Happy Birthday James!! (It isss his birthday right?) well even if it's not I did write a fic about his birthday it's not quite done but here's part one..Hey that rhymed yay!. uhhh Rated PG I think I hope I did the cut thingy right.
Hartley Rathaway remembered the first time he spent the day with James (not committing crimes) it had been James’s birthday and they had both been so young.
“BOO!” Hartley Rathaway A.K.A The Pied Piper found himself looking up at the tree he had just been perched in. He also found himself looking not at the lovely Meadowlarks and Doves that had been keeping him and his flute company but, the one and only Trickster.
“Great a Cuckoo” muttered Piper angrily while rubbing his sore back.
“Ha! That’s pretty funny Piper I didn’t know you had a sense of humor” Trickster was now standi-- hovering in front of Piper hand outstretched.
Piper gripped Tricksters hand and pulled himself to his feet with a groan
“What do you want Trickster? I was trying to relax.” Trickster just smiled at him
“It’s my birthday and everyone else is all locked up in Iron Heights sooo you have to spend time with me!”
“I have to spend time with you because everyone else is in prison? Not because you like me or because you enjoy my company?”
“Yes.” Was Trickster’s curt response.
“No. Happy Birthday Trickster. Goodbye.” Piper turned and started walking away.
“Wait! I was only saying yes to your first question! I do kind of enjoy your company even if you’re kinda nerdy and girly and-”
“Okay, that’s enough Trickster. What do you want to go do?” Piper was not in the mood to argue with Trickster.
“I want to go to the Flash Museum!” Shouted Trickster starting off in the direction of said museum.
“We can’t go to the museum it’s closed on Tuesdays.” Piper yelled after him jogging to keep up
“And since when has stuff being ‘closed’ ever stopped us before?” Piper sighed, he knew nothing would stop Trickster if he really wanted to go to the museum. Piper also knew it was wise to lay low, all of Keystone was looking for them (not just the cops!) after the crap they pulled and like Trickster had said everyone else is in prison!
That’s why Piper had come to Central City the search here was slightly less intense but, Piper was too tired from all the robbing, running, and hiding to point out that breaking into the FLASH MUSEUM might be a bad idea. They were almost there anyway the park Piper had been resting in wasn’t far from the museum.
“Come on Piper I disabled the alarm I need you to take care of any guards that might be inside”
there was only one guard inside and with a few quick notes he realized that a bathroom stall was clearly the most interesting thing ever. Trickster was hopping around excitedly and poking things that clearly read “DON’T TOUCH”…when Piper remembered security cameras.
“Trickster! Cameras!”
“Don’t worry Piper I took out the WHOLE security system” And so Piper didn’t worry and was content to follow Trickster around while he amused himself. Suddenly Piper heard voices…familiar voices coming their way!
“Trickster we have to hide! Someone is coming this way!” Trickster turned and cocked his head at Piper “I don’t hear anything Piper” Piper shook off his mild daze (Trickster was pretty cute)
“I know you don’t but, I do come on!” Piper pulled Trickster behind a display of Grodd and some machine. Just in time because around the corner came a small young woman and the goddamn Flash.
“As soon as we find out what went wrong with the security system we can continue talking about the renovations”
“Sure thing ma’am I’m sure it’s just a malfunction. I mean no one is dumb enough to break into the Flash museum”
Piper was pining a very angry Trickster to the floor with his body weight; once he was sure the woman and Flash were far enough away he jumped up and started hauling Trickster toward the exit.
“We have to get out of here right now! I’ll take you somewhere else and get you anything we just can’t stay here!” Only when they were a good distance away from the museum did Piper realize Trickster had never been fighting him. Piper swallowed his fear and turned around to see a smirking blond. “Anywhere? Anything?”
Piper didn’t like the look in Tricksters eyes it spoke of very bad things.
“I want to go get a cake” Piper exhaled in relief, cake that was easy he could just go get Trickster a cake and be done with the day.
“I want wedding cake” with those words Piper felt his heart drop, his face fall and his day get a lot longer. “Where are we supposed to get a wedding cake?”
Trickster was ignoring him and pulling him toward a plain black car and shoving him into the passenger seat. When they were on their way to lord know where Trickster answered his question.
“We get wedding cake from a wedding duh! And before you start yes I do know where a wedding is happening as we speak. My ex girlfriend is getting married today we’re gonna steal her cake!”
Piper just sighed “Trickster that’s just cruel, petty, and childish. Is this your car it’s soo…”
Trickster just laughed “No it’s not. She is and no it’s not I stole it. I thought to myself ‘James inconspicuous is what we need now’ and what did I stumble upon? This lovely vehicle with its lovely oh-so tinted windows”.
“So you’re going to sink to her level? Did this car come complete with a trunk full of rope, guns, and lye? Because it just screams mobster.”
Trickster just laughed (again) “No, we are going to sink to her level. Plus the ceremony should still be going on we just slip into the reception area snag the cake and go! And no, only ropes and lye no guns”
Piper just sighed (again) and let trickster go on about rubber chickens or something for the remainder of the ride.
