Having just returned from a mission, the team was typing out their reports for their mostly successful op. Mostly successful meaning, there had only been one minor explosion, and Superboy's shirt was still all in one piece. They'd already given Batman their verbal debriefing, showered, and were on their way to the living room.
M'gann had reestablished the mind-link as everyone regrouped, one by one on the couches. Nobody said much, just telepathically asking the others about a blurred detail or the name of something every few minutes.
Robin finished his report first, and Wally soon after. The youngest started helping Connor with his extremely concise summary of the night. Robin's light amusement over it could be felt through the telepathic connection, while Connor mentally sighed at this.
Apparently bored, Wally suddenly announced in their heads, 'I bet I could beat a bear in hand to hand combat.'
In reaction, everyone looked up from what they were working on with varying degrees of skepticism, and overall 'wtf'.
Smirking, Artemis told him, 'I'll take that bet.'
Kaldur reprimanded the two of them, sternly saying, 'There will be no challenging a bear to combat.'
'But the bear will eat Wally and Connor can keep the bear!' Artemis countered,
'That is dreadful!' M'gann said, followed by Robin who added, 'I'll help you fight the bear, Wally.'
'No,' Wally replied, 'I have to fight the bear myself. My honor depends on it.'
'…Seems fair.' Connor stated, before tuning them all out as the argument continued.
As an afterthought though, Connor figured it would be kinda nice to have a bear. It could be a companion for Wolf, and he already knew what he would name it.
Wally's indignant voice rang through the mind-link…'I heard that!'
Another series! *groans*...we all know how I am with those...why do I do this to myself.
