"Ummmmmm... Something you want to tell me?" Artemis asked Dick as he walked through the door of their apartment carrying a small child with black hair. "Er, well um. It's Tim. Somehow he got de-aged to.. this." Dick said as he gestured to the small boy who was currently clutching to his shirt. Artemis, curiosity peaked, crossed the room to get a closer look. "What happened to him?" she asked.

"I dunno." he responded. "I found him sleeping in front of my door when I got home." Dick turned his attention to the child still holding him with a death grip. "Hey Timmy, how about you stop choking me there buddy. You're going to stay with Artemis for a little bit ok?"

"Wait, what?" Artemis questioned. "I have to leave him with someone while I go and see what I can find out at the cave. It shouldn't be for long." he explained. She did not look too happy about it. Reluctantly, Tim let go of Dick's neck and was set on the floor to face his new babysitter. He studies her for a moment, then nervously turned back to Dick.

A knock on the still open door got the two's attention. It was Wally. "Er, hey Wally. Thanks for coming." Dick greeted him before turning to uneasily to Artemis "Hey, I know you have class soon, so I asked Wally to come over to watch him while you were gone."

Artemis responded with a hard look at Dick before scooping up a surprised Tim into her arms, causing him let out a quiet squeaking noise. "Hey little birdy, we don't need any stinky men do we?" Tim didn't respond, but stared at her wide-eyed.

Dick rubbed Tim's hair. "Don't worry kiddo, Arty is nice. She'll get you something to eat." He then looked to Artemis "I'll be back soon." She just stared at him while he nudged his way out of the door. Dick gives Wally one last look before heading out, leaving the two with a very nervous toddler.
