The bell on the door jingled as two teenagers walked into the ice cream shop in Gotham City. The bored employee looked up to see the customer. His eyes bulged out of his sockets as he realized that two famous sidekicks stood in line for ice cream. Robin and Kidflash were in costume and were examining the menu.
"Umm, Uh, Do you need h-help with s-something?" the employee asked startled.
"We would love to buy some ice cream!" exclaimed the speedster and bat together.
Robin loved being a super hero. You got to fight bad guys, save lives, and let's face it, Heroes always got the girls. Though there was this one other activity Robin loved to do. He loved to go and do normal things in his costume, so he could see the startled faces of citizens. Did Batman approve of it? Usually not, but a little fun never killed anyone. Wally tagged along for a good time; he could also sometimes get a snack out of it too.
Robin looked around at the variety of flavors before him. Chocolate, Vanilla, Peach, Coffee, and Superman ice cream aligned the walls. Then something caught his eye. A new flavor called Batman! That one sounded interesting, but he wasn't sure if he would choose that one over his favorite flavor.
Finally the employee recovered from his shocked state, and he noticed Robin eying the Batman flavor.
"Is that what you would like a scoop of?" he asked.
"Nope, I would like one scoop of Superman please." answered Robin.
Both the employee and Wally's jaw fell. The sidekick of The Caped Crusader had just chosen Superman ice cream over a Batman titled one.
"Dude, you have to get Batman ice cream. You are the Boy Wonder; It's a law." Wally said.
"Superman ice cream is my favorite." replied Robin matter of factly.
"Well okay then, I would like three banana splits and two chocolate dipped cones please." ordered Wally.
The employee got to work with their orders, and Robin and Wally paid. After they got there ice cream they went to sit down. They chose a table right next to the door so they could see how people reacted once they saw that two super heroes were at the local ice cream shop.
The first citizens to walk in were an elderly couple. They looked at the costumes of the two teenagers and smiled.
The next customers were a group of kids. The kids sat down with their ice cream across the restaurant and just stared at them, expecting something to happen.
"This is boring!" claimed Wally. "I thought this would be more interesting. We risked being yelled at by Batman for this?"
"Just a bit longer. I'm sure someone interesting will come." replied Robin.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo
Then all of a sudden the door was slammed open. The bell on the door broke off and rolled across the floor. A man with a ski mask came in. He was carrying a large sack and a knife.
"Employee! Put all the money from the register in this bag and nobody will get hurt!" Yelled the man.
Then something clicked in the thief's head. Why wasn't anyone screaming? He took a look around the ice cream parlor. He saw two teenagers he did not want to see.
Robin and Kid Flash were staring at him with ice cream in their hands and grins on their faces. He stared back with a nervous look.
"I t-think I h-have the wro-wrong place." He stammered while breaking into a sweat.
"Yeah, I bet you do." replied Robin taking a lick of his ice cream.
"Umm.. Uh, I'll just g-give this t-to y-you" The thief handed Wally his knife and bag, as he stuttered like a madman.
"And I will give this to you." Robin stated handing the robber a pair of handcuffs.
The thief willingly put the handcuffs on, and sat down in a chair awaiting the police. Dick and Wally decided to wait around for the police to make sure nothing happened. Wally went up to order more ice cream while they were waiting. He got a superman cone and two chocolate cones, and brought them back to the table. He handed the Superman cone to Robin and a chocolate one to the thief in handcuffs.
The robber was terribly embarrassed. Instead of the easy target like he had planned, he was waiting to be arrested and eating ice cream with The Boy Wonder and some other kid dressed in neon.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo
The next morning as Dick was eating breakfast with Bruce their conversation seemed to turn out oddly.
"Nice job at the ice cream shop yesterday, Dick" stated Bruce.
"What? How did you know about that!?" exclaimed Dick.
"But we need to discuss your taste in ice cream." replied Bruce, ignoring Dick's last question
After Bruce left for work, Dick looked at the newspaper Bruce was reading at breakfast. The front cover read: Robin, partner of Batman, stops burglary while eating Superman ice cream! In the article there was a picture of Robin and Kid Flash eating ice cream with the thief.
