"I see your brownie and raise you half a donut."
Dick, Tim, and Jason were seated around the dining room table in Wayne Manor, gambling over an assortment of Alfred's baked goods. Damian had chosen not to participate in the game, calling poker a "vulgar habit".
Jason raised his eyebrows at Dick impatiently. "Come on, Dick, in or out?" Dick peered at his cards intently. "Give me a sec…" He mused, wrinkling his forehead.
Tim, who had been drooling over the plate of warm sweets for the entire game, couldn't take it anymore. "Forget it. I quit." He threw his cards down in exasperation.
"You're supposed to say I fold," Jason corrected.
Tim sighed. "Can't we just eat already? You know, that thing normal people do with food…?"
"Right now, it's our stakes," Dick pointed out absently, apparently still studying his cards. "If we eat now, we'll have nothing left to bet with. It can be food again when we're done."
Jason rolled his eyes. "Yeah, if we're ever done. Any day now, Grayson." Dick finally looked up. "In," he decided, breaking his donut in half and placing one piece onto the 'pot'. Then, he flipped his cards over: a pair of kings and a pair of eights. Jason stared at the cards for a second, a smirk slowly spreading across his face.
"Nice try, Dick," he said slyly, revealing his own hand. Three sixes. "Crap," Dick cursed as Jason smugly collected his winnings. All of the sudden, Bruce Wayne walked in. "Is that poker?" He asked them, seeming vaguely interested.
Dick smiled sweetly. "Can I deal you in, Bruce?" Bruce ignored him and cleared his throat. "All of you, get suited up and meet me in the Cave as soon as possible." He left the room abruptly. The boys exchanged looks. "Well, that's the end of that," Jason sighed, sweeping the cards back into the box.
"Finally," Tim added, grabbing a cinnamon roll.
Dick was thoughtful. "I wonder what's going on? He seemed pissed."
"Well, he is Batman," Tim shrugged, licking sugary frosting off his fingers. "He's always pissed. But if we aren't down there in the next 5 minutes he'll probably kick our asses."
A/N: Just clarifying, some of the details and characters might not be compatible the current comics. I'm kinda doing my own thing here. Please feel free to leave me any type of criticism, I really do appreciate it...Thanks for reading!
