So this is a completely non serious one-shot just meant for humor purposes.
Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice, DC or the song below
The bat brothers where all in the Batcave and watched as the Batmobile sped off.
"I can't believe father is making me stay behind and help you imbeciles clean the Batcave"
Tim looked at him "You? the rest of us have been in the game longer then you, how do you think we feel. Sweeping floors instead of hacking codes"
"Or serving justice" Dick added
"Or shooting bad guys" Jason joined in
Everyone turned to look at him "Hey we're talking about things we'd rather be doing" he shrugged
"Better get to cleaning this place before he gets back" Dick sighed
"It's a hard knock life" Jason said sarcastically
Dick turned to him holding the broom a grin on his face
"Don't do it!" Jason pointed a finger
Dick jumped up "Come on it'll pass time while we clean" he looked down at Tim seeing if he'd join in
"It's a hard knock life for us" Dick sang as he swept he pointed to
Tim who cracked a small smile "It's a hard knock life for us" he talked sang as he polished the shelves
"Stead of treated" Dick jumped down
"We get tricked" Tim sang
"Stead of kisses" Dick grinned pointed at Tim
"We get kicked" he sang getting more into the song he looked over at Jason and Damian who were looking at them oddly "Hey it's kind of true" Tim said
Dick nodded "Yeah think about it, when we are out fighting bad guys that's what happens"
Jason rolled his eyes "You have a point especially since the next line is."
" Got no folks to speak of, so, It's the hard-knock row we hoe"Jason sang talked
Dick and Tim smiled they finally were getting him into the song now they just had to get Damian
"What are you imbeciles talking about I have parents" Damian said crossing his arms
They continued to clean and sing
"Cotton blankets" Dick sang doing a flip
"Steada wool" Tim sang jumped
"Empty Bellies" Dick patted his stomach
" Steada full" Jason threw his arms up
Dick shook his head "Okay that part isn't true for us, Alfred would never let that happen" he cut in
The brothers nodded in agreement
"But this next part definitely describes Gotham while we're on patrol" Dick said before singing again
"Don't it feel like the wind is always howling" he sang
"Don't it seem like there's never any light!" Tim smiled
"Don't it seem like there's never any light" Jason added
"Once a day don't you wanna throw the towel in" Dick said
"It's easier than putting up a fight" Dick and Tim sang at the same time looking at Damian
"No one's there when your dreams at night are creepy! No one cares if you grow or if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy" Jason sang
"From the crying, you'd think this city would sink" Dick sang
"No one cares for you a smidge. When you're in a vigilant! It's the hard knock life" they all 3 sang changing the lyrics to the song a little
They looked over to the top beam to see that Damian had put on one of Bruce's old cowls
"Your gonna clean this dump till it shines like the top of Wayne enterprises!" He said loudly the 3 brothers looked at each other and smiled they ran up the stairs he began running in the opposite direction
"Get to work! Get those crooks! I said get to work!" Damian said pointing at them
Dick caught Damian and picked him up after putting up a fight Dick threw him into the laundry basket they buried the youngest brother in sweaty suits and workout clothes as they spun him around
"It's a hard knock life" they all 3 sang at the same time
They heard clapping and turned to see Barbara step out of one of the corners of the cave laughing
"Babs" Dick gasped
"That was great " she said laughing Damian climbed out of the laundry basket cursing his brothers under his breath.
"I can't believe you date this weirdo Gordon" Damian grumbled punching Dick in the gut
"How much of that did you see?" Tim asked embarrassed
She grinned "Only all of it, Dick singing doesn't surprise me but Jason I'm impressed" she said crossing her arms
Jason glared at her "For the record I talked sang, I didn't go full Broadway like these 2" he said pointing a thumb at Tim and Dick
She laughed "You know being the only girl on a team full of boys never is dull"
Dick bit his lip "we have to finish cleaning" he said sheepishly as they all began cleaning again acting as if nothing happened and hoping Barbara would forget what she had seen.
