Hey people! This will be several one-shots (possible multi-chapter stories may pop up, who knows?) about the Young Justice members being a family. I wanted to start off with the first time Dick, Roy, and Wally met. This is my first attempt at Young Justice, so if I get anything wrong please point it out. Dick is nine, Wally is eleven, and Roy is thirteen. Wally still lives with his parents.

"Black or navy, Master Richard?"

Dick stares at both of the ties critically. He wanted to look good for the meeting. It was the first time Bruce had ever asked him if he wanted to go with him and Dick had instantly said yes. Now he knew why it always took Bruce so long to get ready for his meetings.

"Which do you like, Alfred?" He asks. He honestly doesn't know which one looks best, they both had something that was better than the other and it kind of evened it out. Maybe I should wear them both…

"I think you should go with the navy, don't want to wear all black." The butler replies.

"That's a good point." Dick answers. Why didn't I think of that?

He fiddles with the tie and puts it snuggly around his neck. Bruce had taught him how to put his own tie on so he wouldn't need help. It made him feel older.

Dick smiles and puts his new dress shoes on. The suit he's wearing makes it a little tough to reach down and tie the laces, but he manages. He rushes out and runs right into Bruce.

"I'm assuming you're ready?" Bruce asks looking down at his protégé.

"Totally! Let's go!" Dick grabs Bruce's hand and pulls him over to the door. "It'd be so much cooler if we could take the Batmobile instead of your car."

"I told you, the Batmobile is for Batman and Robin only, not Bruce and Dick." The billionaire sighs.

"I know, I'm just sayin'!"

Bruce shakes his head, giving a small smile. "C'mon, get in the car; we don't want to be late."

"Okay Bruce. I'm so excited!" Dick sits shotgun next to Bruce and pulls his seatbelt on.

Bruce does the same in the driver's seat. "When we get there there's someone I'd like you to meet." He says.

"Who is it? Tell me Bruce! Is it a kid or an adult? C'mon, tell me!"

Bruce chuckles quietly to himself. "You'll see." He says, causing Dick to pout.

After almost half an hour of driving, Bruce pulls in front of a fancy looking mansion. He gets out and tosses the keys of his car to the valet while Dick gets out and runs over to Bruce.

They walk into a fancy ballroom with sparkling chandeliers and gold trimmed wallpaper. There's a long table with food and drinks sitting on it. People are mingling and dancing all over the place. It is typical party for Bruce Wayne, but it's a whole new adventure for Dick Grayson.

"Whoa…" Dick breathes. He looks around with wide, curious eyes. "This is so cool!"

"Trust me," His adoptive dad replies. "It gets boring after a while."

They walk around and Bruce introduces Dick to a lot of people. Dick tries to be as polite as possible, but sometimes one of his "made up" words slip out and people look at him weirdly.

After a while, Dick tugs on Bruce's sleeve. "Who's the person you want me to meet? Have I seen them yet?" He asks impatiently.

"No, follow me, I think I see them." Bruce answers. They weave through the crowd until Bruce stops in front of a blond man.

"Hey Barry, how's life?" He asks the man.

"Hey Bruce, it's nice to see you! Life's good in Central, how's Gotham treating you?" The man replies. Dick recognizes his voice from somewhere, but he can't put his finger on it.

"Gotham's the same as usual. Is Wally with you?"

"Yeah, he's right here." Barry steps aside to reveal a small, red headed boy. He bends down. "Wally," He says gently. "This is Bruce Wayne and his son Dick."

The boy waves. "Hi."

"Hi." Dick replies shyly. He looks up at Bruce who smiles encouragingly. Dick had never made a friend before.

The men start chatting and the two boys try to do the same.

"Where do you live?" Dick asks.

"I live in Central City." He answers. "My uncle told me you live in Gotham. Is it scary here?"

"Sometimes, but Batman and Robin take down all the baddies. They're really cool." Dick smiles to himself.

"We have the Flash. He takes down all the Rouges. He's the fastest man alive!" Wally exclaims. He looks over to the side. "Who's that?"

Dick follows his new friend's gaze and sees another blond haired man with a goatee with a red haired kid who was older than Wally. "Bruce, who's that?"

Bruce looks up. "Oliver?" He calls. The blond man turns towards them.

"Bruce! How's that for a coincidence! And Barry, I didn't expect to see you here!" He exclaims. He walks over with the boy slouching behind him.

"Ollie this is boring." He whines, tugging on Oliver's sleeve.

"Well hello to you too, Roy." Barry smirks.

"Ollie is that-" The boy, Roy, starts.

"-My good friends Bruce Wayne and Barry Allen? Why yes it is, Roy!" Oliver laughs nervously and Bruce narrows his eyes while Barry looks amused. Wally and Dick just feel confused.

"You told him, didn't you?" Bruce asks.

Ollie shrugs. "It seemed like a good idea at the time…"

Barry laughs. "Roy, this is my nephew Wally and Bruce's son Dick. Wally, Dick, this is Oliver's son Roy." He introduces the boys after noticing their lost expressions.

"Hi!" Wally exclaims.

"Hi…" Roy says awkwardly. He's never been introduced to kids younger than him at any of Ollie's meetings before. He doesn't know how he feels about these kids, but he sorta likes them.

"Where do you live?" Dick asks.

Wally frowns. "Is that your catchphrase or something?"

"Or something." Dick replies. He waits for Roy's answer.

"Star City," He replies proudly.

"Home of the Green Arrow and his sidekick Speedy." Wally adds. He looks pleased with himself.

Roy's eyes narrow. "He prefers the term 'partner'."

Wally raises an eyebrow. "You sound like you've met him or something."

"Or something," Roy replies brusquely. Wally gives him an odd look, but Dick knows. Bruce told him about all the superheroes. In fact, he now recognizes Barry's voice as the Flash's. It all started to make sense. Except for the fact that Wally isn't super-powered, or is he? Dick made a mental note to check that out.

Roy leaned in a motioned for the other two boys to be quiet. "Let's get outta here; the adults are cramping my style."

Dick grins. "No problem, follow me."

Dick leads the older boys through the giant ballroom, weaving around groups of people, tables full of food, and the occasional drunk. Finally they stop in front of a giant vent cover.

"Alright we just slip in here and no one will ever find us, not even Bruce." Dick says proudly.

"I think you and I could be awesome friends." Roy grins. He bends down and dives into the vents.

"Agreed!" Wally adds. He crawls in last after Dick and is surprised when the tunnel veers straight down. "Whoa!" He yells and lands right smack on top of Roy's head.

"Oof! Man, what have you been eating?" Roy groans as he shoves Wally off of him.

"I had a doughnut before I got here, and then there was that pie…"

"Dude, learn to lay off the sweets." Dick advises. "If you keep this up, you'll be really fat."

"Hey!"

"What, it's true!"

"GUYS!" Roy yells. Dick and Wally look at him. "Stop acting like a bunch of nine-year-olds!"

"Hey, I am nine!" Dick argues.

"Well that explains a lot," Roy mumbles. Louder, he says, "If we start yelling, someone's going to notice and find us and then Ollie, Bruce, and Barry won't take us to anymore meetings and we'll probably never see each other again. Do you want that to happen?"

"No," Dick says guiltily. Dick doesn't want to make his first meeting his last, he's already has so much fun!

"I guess not," Wally answers. He doesn't think Barry will take him to anymore meetings anyway. Heck, Wally's pretty sure that this was Barry's first meeting too!

"Good, because I don't want that to happen either," Roy was about to add that he sorta of liked the two younger kids, but decides against it. He doesn't want to lose his edge.

"So what should we do?" Wally asks. He's starting to get a little antsy.

"Let's explore the vents! C'mon," Dick scoots in front of Roy and leads the way through the vents and around the mansion. He pulls off the cover that leads into the library and jumps down.

"Ow!" Wally rubs his ankles after he touches down on the ground. "That wasn't very smart."

"No, it wasn't." Roy agrees as he jumps down, landing agilely next to the younger boy. "So what are we doing in here?"

"I dunno, it seemed like a cool place to explore. Ya know how there are always secret passage ways behind bookcases in the movies." The youngest answers sheepishly.

"But that's the thing, movies aren't real." Roy rolls his eyes.

"Hey, no need to be rude, it was a good idea. Might as well check," Wally defends, surprising Dick. He hadn't known this kid a full hour yet and he was already sticking up for him? He stares at Wally questioningly.

"Whatever, I bet they have some cool books to read. Let's look around." Roy walks over to the nearest bookshelf, skimming over the many titles.

A Christmas Carol; Where the Red Fern Grows; Moby Dick- hey, that's my name!

"We should read this one guys!" Dick holds up Moby Dick for Roy to see.

Roy takes the book in his hands. "I heard this was boring, but we can read a couple pages."

When they all three manage to fit on the small couch in the corner of the room comfortably, the oldest redhead opens the book to the first page and starts reading.

"Dick, where are you?"

"Wally, get out here now!"

"Roy if I don't see you by the time I count to ten- aww, Bruce, Barry, you gotta come see this!" Oliver waves his friends over to the doorway of the library. The other two men run over to find Dick, Roy, and Wally all fast asleep on the couch. Dick is lying with his head on the opposite side of the chair and his legs are hanging off the side. Roy is sprawled out with his arms out on either side of him and one of his legs hanging off the opposite side Dick's are and has a book laying open on his chest. Wally is curled up on top of one of Roy's arms with his head propped up on the older redhead's chest.

"Someone get my camera." Oliver whispers.

"No problem." Barry says and is back in a flash with three cameras hanging from his wrists. He gives two off the cameras to Ollie and Bruce and snaps a couple of pictures on his own. "This is the cutest thing I've ever seen."

"And Roy's going to kill me if he finds out we have pictures." Ollie laughs.

"I may have to use mine for blackmail." Bruce chuckles.

"I'm putting this in a frame in the living room and in my wallet." Barry declares. "Iris is gonna love it."

The three men pick up each of the kids, accidentally waking them up in the process.

"What happens next?" Dick asks sleepily.

"I dunno, haven't read it yet." Barry says jokingly. "C'mon kiddo, we better start heading back to my house."

"Bye guys." Wally says. He gives Roy and Dick a big hug and waves. He and Barry leave the room.

"We better go too, see you later Bruce." Oliver sighs.

"Bye Queen." Bruce answers. They all four head for their cars.

"That was fun Bruce; I liked Roy and Wally, even if we did argue a little." Dick smiles sleepily. He slumps down in his seat after putting his seatbelt and falls asleep.

Bruce smiles down at his son. He seriously hopes that hanging out with Oliver's kid doesn't corrupt him.

And that ends the first chapter. Please review and tell me how I did. I was aiming for cuteness, not sure if I reached that or not. I don't usually write cute, but this was fun. If you have any requests, please tell me and I'll see what I can do:)
