Hello, lovely readers. I am ShadowMist62442, but you can call me Shadow. I never intended to actually write a story, but lo-and-behold I have. I'm thinking this'll be 3 chapters, but I'm not sure. This is just part 1 since I thought it was getting rather long. Anyway, tell me what you think! This is all self-betaed. Also, there is mention of corporal punishment in this chapter, and there will be corporal punishment in the future, so if you don't like PLEASE don't read it. :D So, please enjoy!
*Edit: Hi :) Just editing the story a bit because I didn't like how some of it flowed. I think it's a bit better now. Next part will be up some time in the near future. 3
~Disclaimer: Though it would be neat if I owned this, I'm afraid I don't own anything. This all belongs to DC.
"I am so dead," Robin thought as he sat in the passenger seat of the Batmobile. He had really blown it this time.
The 13-year-old stole a glance at his mentor, who was gripping the steering wheel tightly. Batman was glaring at the road, not looking at his protégé. Robin let out a sigh. Boy was he in for it.
Earlier that day
"Dude! This place is awesome!" Wally West said as he was led into the enormous Batcave.
Alfred had believed that Dick needed to spend more time with his friends, and had arranged a "play-date" with Dick's best friend and fellow sidekick, Wally West.
"Whoa, this is, like, the biggest computer in the WORLD!" Wally said, zipping around the cave faster than anyone could see, almost tripping on wires that were on the floor.
"Chill out, Kid Klutz. Bats'll kill me if anything breaks while you're in here. He didn't even want you here in the first place," Dick told his best friend.
"Good ol' Alfred. Hey, did he make any cookies?"
"I've made 3 batches, Master Wallace. If you and Master Richard would like any, I would suggest coming up to the dining room," Alfred said, coming out of the elevator. Wally was upstairs before Alfred got to "any." Dick laughed and followed.
After devouring all 3 batches of cookies, the two went into Dick's room to play some video games.
"Hey, you know what would be really cool, I mean, REALLY cool?" Wally said after losing for the 3rd time.
"What, you actually winning for once?" Dick said, putting down his controller.
"Well, yeah, but that's not what I meant. What I meant was that you know how to drive the Batmobile, right?"
"Yeah," Dick said apprehensively. He had an idea as to what this conversation was leading up to.
"Well, I was thinking we take it out for a spin!" Wally said enthusiastically.
"No way, dude. If Bats finds out, I'll never see the light of day again," Dick said.
"But who says Bats'll find out? Look, he's at a meeting, in CHINA. We'll just go once around the block. Not even Alfred will know," Wally stated matter-of-factly.
"No, dude, I don't think it's a good idea..."
"Ooh, is little Dickie bird afraid of the Big Bad Bat?" Wally teased. "Is he afraid of getting grounded?
The truth was, Dick was afraid. He had taken the Batmobile out once and almost crashed it. When Batman had found out, he had given Dick the worst spanking of his life. However, he had also taught Dick how to drive it. Though he knew Dick wouldn't be dumb enough to try driving it himself again, Batman was always prepared.
"No, I'm not afraid, Kid Mouth," Dick said defiantly. "In fact, let's go. Right now." Wally jumped in joy, changed into his Kid Flash costume, and ran to the Batmobile, buckling his seatbelt just as Dick (now Robin) got into the driver's seat. Seeing the look of apprehension on his friend's face, Kid Flash said, "Come on, Rob. It's just once around the block. I won't tell, you won't tell, it'll be our little secret."
Robin nodded, shifting the gears of the Batmobile and opening the exit hangar. The two sped out of the Batcave, going onto the busy roads.
Unbeknownst to them, Alfred had watched everything on a secret camera in the kitchen. He wasn't amused in the slightest, and called Bruce right away.
"He did what?" Bruce yelled as he left the meeting. It was almost over anyway, plus he was Bruce Wayne. What he said went.
"I'm afraid so, Master Bruce. With Master Wallace as well," Alfred stated sadly. He knew the young master would get into trouble, but he was mainly worried about his safety at the moment.
"I'm on my way, Alfred. Call Barry and tell him what happened. There's a monitor in the cave that tracks Robin's whereabouts. Tell Barry to use that to catch up with them. I'm sure he won't be too happy to hear about what his nephew has done."
"But of course, Master Bruce," Alfred said, hanging up the phone and promptly calling Barry Allen.
