Boot-to-the-head here. Here's a quick shot of Birdflash for you. ;) Just some quick, innocent fluff. (And by that I mean really quick.) Nothing much. Might continue with some more one-shots and make this a collection, but idk. I don't have any ideas.
Anyway, this idea popped in my head after I saw a post on tumblr. I don't own any puns made in this story, or the characters, but combining the two was all me. ;) Enjoy!
P.S. this takes place before Zatanna joined. Nothing against her, just didn't feel right having her observing the Birdflash… and yet, I'm okay with Artemis in here? I don't know how my mind works. :/
Bacon. Bacon! BACON!
This was what went through Wally West's head as he ran into the kitchen of Mount Justice.
The team had spent the previous night watching horror movies, and no one had slept until well after three. Everyone had woken up to the smell of various breakfast food. M'gann (being M'gann) had decided to get up early to make everyone a delicious array of food including pancakes, waffles, french toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. Usually, the hyper-active speedster would have been piling everything on a plate at once, but he had an idea.
"Mind saving some for the rest of us, Kid Stuff-My-Face?" Robin said, driven by hunger, as he followed his boyfriend into the kitchen, followed closely by the others.
"That's a new one." Wally joked back. "You're getting more creative, Little Bird." He said before giving Robin a quick peck on the forehead.
"He has a point, Baywatch." Artemis added, stretching.
"Hey! I haven't even put anything on my plate yet!" Wally shot back, waving his clean plate in her face for emphasis. He walked over to the platter of bacon and started piling pieces on his plate.
"Wally! Save some for everyone else! We want some bacon too!" M'gann said, pulling him away from the plate by his collar.
"Okay! Jeez!" He said backing away. After that, Wally turned and headed towards the corner of the room facing away from the others. His plate was blocked from view, and he was doing something besides eating.
"Um… Aren't you supposed to eat these things?" Conner asked, holding up a strip of bacon and looking at it like it was a diseased tick.
"Yeah. Ignore him, he's just crazy." Robin said scooping some eggs onto his plate.
After they had gotten their breakfast, the team (save Wally) had gone to sit on the couches and eat their food in blissful silence. After a few minutes, Wally stood up and shot his fists into the air.
"YES! Mission accomplished!" He shouted, pleased with whatever development had happened with his bacon. The sudden outburst had caused Kaldur to almost choke on his food.
"What is so important about the bacon?" The Atlantean asked after regaining his composure. Instead of answering, Wally just turned his head to look at Robin, still hiding his plate from view.
"Hey, Rob." He asked mischievously.
"W-what?" Robin asked, now thoroughly terrified of whatever Wally had done to the bacon on his plate.
There was a long silence before Wally abruptly ran over to Robin, shoved his plate under his face and shouted words that he had obviously been dying to say all morning.
"DON'T GO BACON MY HEART!"
The acrobat looked down at the plate below him with a look of complete disinterest on his face. The multiple strips that Wally had taken had been broken into squares and layered on each other to create a perfectly-shaped heart. Robin raised an eyebrow and looked at his boyfriend, eyes hidden by his sunglasses. He sighed.
"I couldn't if I fried." He said, smirking and plopping a forkful of eggs onto Wally's plate in the middle of the heart. He could hear Artemis face-palm.
"Really? Are you two that cheesy?" She asked.
"You're just jealous." Robin stuck out his tongue at her, joking. She chuckled.
"Idiots."
"So, are you gonna eat this or what?" Wally asked.
