"I still don't understand why I have baby-sit this guy's brat. I'm the fastest man alive, not a kid sitter." Flash complained to Batman, leaning against the control panel.

"You have to because she's under our protection. Her father is the Prime Minister of Tkingtimee, and his daughter has been receiving threats from The Secret Society. So it's our job to keep her from them. Got it?" Batman had his eyes on the computer screen. He wasn't really paying attention to Flash, he was always a nuisance; complaining about assignments, flirting with the females of the League, and playing practical jokes on anyone he chose.

"But why can't you get someone like, Black Canary, or Wonder Woman, or maybe Vixen to do it instead?" Flash asked, naming several of the Women that he thought would do a better job than him.

"Because they are out of contact, as if they've all disappeared. Now get going." Batman turned his attention back to the computer screen. Clearly the conversation was over.

"Why couldn't I work on the disappearances?" Flash persisted.

"Because that's our job, partner." Vigilante, Green Arrow, and Green Lantern entered the control room.

"We're ready, Batman." Green Arrow said, "Have fun kid sitting, Flash."

"Young'ins are a blessing, son. You'll have a good time." Vigilante offered his advice with a smile.

"Just don't let them cry. They can cry for hours," Green Lantern smiled.

"Don't forget the diaper changes, the feedings, the laundry," Green Arrow said grinning.

"Have fun, buddy."

They left the room, leaving Flash counting on his fingers. "According to my calculations, that'd take over four hours of my free time! Ah, man."

Batman did a rare thing. He smiled. "Actually, this 'brat' is fourteen. You won't have to worry about diapers, and I'm pretty sure she can feed herself. The main problem is keeping her occupied, at her age they get bored fast. Faster than you can run, Flash. She is already on the ship, so you won't have to worry about picking her up from anywhere. She's in room 311. Go, and remember, keep her safe."
