1. Buttons
"This is why I don't wear suits!" Wally yelled, words reverberating off the walls of the room. His fingers fiddled uselessly with the buttons of his cuffs.
Dick snickered as he slicked back his hair in the traditional Richard Grayson style. "Hey, you're the one that said you could easily take one of these boring parties Bruce throws. Not my fault you can't even get past dressing yourself for it."
Wally internally vowed, from this day on socialite parties and buttons were his enemies. Aside from difficult food packaging and the usual villains.
2. Solitude
Conner sat on the couch, for once not staring at the static on the television.
Robin took notice and sat down on the couch next to the big guy, "What's wrong Supes?"
"I was just wondering, if Superman has a Fortress of Solitude, what does he do there?" Superboy asked the young bird.
"Well, Batman installed cameras up there as a precaution years ago. We can check the footage if you want."
The Boy of Steel nodded and Robin pulled up a current feed from Superman's "secret lair". The Boy Wonder transferred the footage to the big screen so they could easily watch. It showed the Man of Steel whistling show tunes and walking up to a nearby mirror. The Big Blue Boy Scout flashed a smile and said, "So, Lois, dinner tonight? You, me, and love, baby," He even flashed a wink at the end.
Both of the teens mouths flopped open. Robin jumped on Conner and tried to cover his eyes, "You're only a year old! You're too young to see this!"
3. Silence
Wally and Artemis were locked in a staring contest. What for you may be asking? The last chocolate chip cookie.
Robin popped up from behind the doorway and lowered his voice to that similar to an announcers, "The silence is deafening in itself. Ladies and gentlemen, you could cut the pure romantic tension with a knife."
The ginger looked to his friend, "WHAT?!"
Artemis took the opportunity and grabbed the cookie, "Thanks Bird Brain!" She called out.
"Anytime 'Mis!" Came the reply from nowhere.
Wally tugged at his hair in mourning for his snack, "Traitor!"
4. In the Storm
"Please," Robin wept on the edge of one of the tallest buildings in Gotham, "Please don't go."
Batman placed a hand on his ward's shoulder, "Robin, do you see all those raindrops?"
As usual in Gotham, it was raining, so Robin nodded a yes.
"Each one of those raindrops is a single bit of regret and guilt. If I were to ever leave, I would have more of those feelings than this storm can provide. I will never leave."
5. Confrontation
"Who ate the last brownie?!" Kid Flash screeched from the kitchen. The Team just finished a strenuous mission so of course the speedster's first destination is Food Central.
Zatanna nervously stepped up to the doorway of the kitchen, "I did."
"I've told myself that I'd never hit a lady, but now this is personal. You don't steal the gooey chocolate deliciousness that is packed into a cute little square without telling anyone!"
The young magician swiveled on her heel and left the kitchen, "Even I'm too old for this."
6. Give up
M'gann threw down the tray of cookies that ended up the same as all the other attempts, burnt. "I give up. I can't bake, that's it."
Conner, having heard all this from the living room, entered to see his girlfriend crying in the corner of the cabinets. He quickly rushed over to her and gently wiped her tears. "Listen, don't give up on this. It just takes practice, and occasionally a helping hand. How about we try doing this batch together?"
"Really?" She sniffled.
"As long as the ingredients end up in the bowl rather than on me again, yeah." With that they both found themselves laughing.
7. All That I Have
The Flash pulled down his cowl once in the safety of his home. His nephew, currently twelve years of age and brand new to the crime fighting business, followed his lead.
"Wally, you can't just run ahead of me like that. Captain Cold could've hurt you, badly." The Scarlet Speedster pulled band-aids out from one of the cabinets in the bathroom and speeded back to his nephew, "Well more than he did anyways," The elder muttered as he patched up the young ginger's scraped knees and elbows.
"I did my best, that's what counts! I saved that lady's life!" Kid Flash squeaked to defend himself.
Barry sighed, "Yeah you did kiddo," He ruffled his nephew's hair. "The only thing we need to worry about now is how to explain that little stunt to Iris."
8. Drowning
Robin hid in his room at the first opportunity after the Reds attacked. The little bird had almost drowned. But not only that, when he blacked out, he could've sworn he heard his mother's voice calling out to him. Saying that he only needed to hang on for a little bit longer.
He allowed himself to start crying as he wondered if it would've been better had he actually drowned. Then he might have the chance to hear the voice that rocked him to sleep as a child, encouraged him to take the first swing on the trapeze, and even called out his name in its last moments. For a second, that selfish thought was his reality.
9. Triangle
M'gann was stationed outside the movie theater, almost shaking in excitement. She had dragged Artemis with her, who was less than excited but played along anyways.
"Remind me why we're going to go see the sparkling fairy princesses again?" The archer asked.
"It's Twilight! They're vampires! There's love triangles! What more could you want?" The Martian was ready to burst with joy when they finally took their turn at the ticket booth.
"Two for Twilight," Artemis ground her teeth at the movies title.
The clerk clearly looked amused at the blonde's predicament, "Anything else?"
"A rope to hang myself wouldn't be too bad," Artemis took the tickets with force and stomped her way into the theater.
10. Pain
Wally and Robin waited for hours to see Artemis's reaction when her and M'gann got back from watching Twilight. They even had a camera ready for proof that Artemis should never be taken to see a chick-flick again.
They finally heard the zeta tubes announce both of the girl's arrivals. They could also both hear the heavy stomps of the archer. The blonde made it into the living room before the Martian.
Wally took the opportunity and asked Artemis, "What did you think of the movie?"
Artemis replied with a shudder, "It was painful. Very, very painful."
A/N: Yup, it's another one of those 100 prompt things. I haven't done one before, but I am now. I already have all 100 prompts so please don't request any. I'm going to slowly be doing this, uploading ten at a time. With that I leave you to expect more.
Read. Enjoy. Review.
