AN: I know that Halloween has passed but I've had this idea floating in my head for some time and kind of gotten a push to write it so here it is. So I was told that I should do a continuation Kinn story, so this will be the squeal to "Moonwalk." So this story I'm going to say a big thanks and dedicate this one to inuharrytwiclique, and abrainiac for their suggestions/advice to go ahead and write this.
Also, I don't own Glee or Batman. They belong to Fox and DC Comics. I just like to borrow them. :)
The Dynamic Duo
Chapter 1 The Idea
-Finn-
The Glee club was sitting in the choir room as they awaited the arrival of Mr. Shuester. As the Spanish teacher arrived, there was an announcement that came over the loud speaker from Principle Figgins.
"This Halloween, the school board has decided to hold a Halloween Scavenger Hunt contest against the different clubs in the school. Students that are involved with more than one club must choose one to be with and cannot participate with other clubs. The school board will have a first, second, and a third place. You may start planning now. Your teachers for this hour will give out more information. Thank you for your attention."
Mr. Schuster waited a moment before he passed out the Halloween contest rules to the club. "What does he mean that you can't be with other clubs for Halloween?" Brittney asked.
"What Figgins was saying that if you are in Cheerios and do what the Cheerios do for the scavenger hunt, you can't do what we do here in Glee." Mr. Shuester said as he went and stood up at the front of the class.
"Oh." Brittney said as she settled back into her chair. But Rachel popped out of her chair and stood in the front.
"My fellow Glee clubbers I think that we should pick out a theme for our group. I personally think that we should do couples from the great hits on Broadway. I got several great ideas for this little Halloween fun!"
"Rachel, as much as we appreciate your loyalty to the theater, I think that I speak for everyone here when I say no." Kurt said as he looked at his nails. "Besides what if we have other ideas?"
"I think we should do Disney Prince and Princess's." Britteny piped up.
"I don't mean to burst your bubble Britt, but there are no gay couples in Disney." Rachel replied.
"Rachel shut up. It's okay Britt." Santana said as she linked her pinky with Brittany's
"Besides Rachel, we do enough theater stuff in here so we don't need to do it out side of Glee." Mercedes said.
"But, this is a really good time to educate people in the theater arts!" Rachel said.
"I agree with Kurt and Mercedes, Rachel." Finn said. "Plus we a need a theme for the group, not the 'this is what Rachel wants'. So it needs to be something that we all can agree on." Rachel harrumphed, and sat down pouting. Finn shifted in his seat nervously, but felt Kurt's hand pat his and Finn looked up and smiled at Kurt.
"Well how about you all go home tonight and come up with a theme and then we will vote and decide tomorrow." Mr. Shue said.
So with that the club worked on their new music number until the end of class. Mr. Shue decided that they were going to work on Halloween style music for a couple weeks, though they did great with Thriller, Finn loved that he got share the lead vocals with the other guys in Ghostbusters, which was this weeks group song. After Glee was done, Kurt got up and walked out with Mercedes and was part way down the hall when Finn came running up the hall after them.
"Hey, Finn, what can I do for you?" Kurt asked.
Finn grabbed Kurt's hand. "You've already done enough Kurt for me. Actually you've done too much for me."
Kurt turned a little red. "Well I'm just glad that you're my boyfriend."
Finn smiled his signature smile at Kurt and then looked at Mercedes. Mercedes smiled. "I think I'll leave you two alone."
Finn shook his head. "Nah Mercedes, it's cool if you take Kurt. I got some chores to do at home I need to do before I do anything else today."
Kurt smiled. "You know, Finn if you do them when you're supposed to it wouldn't be such a big deal later."
Finn returned the smile. "Yeah, well you hardly do any chores."
Kurt rolled his eyes. "Just because I do them right away and I'm not dragging it out for three or four days like you do, before you even get started on it."
"Oh come on Kurt!" Finn whined.
"Finn, just go home and clean your room. Then maybe if it is to my cleaning standard maybe I would go into your room and make out with you."
"You mean that?" Finn asked excitedly.
"Yes I do." Kurt said as he glanced at Mercedes who started laughing. "I don't go in there now, because I feel like I'm going to be attacked by some sort of Finn monster from your undulating mass of dirty laundry that I just cringe to see wadded up on the floor."
Finn's smile faltered a little as Mercedes laughed even harder. "I guess I'll go home then and get started on my room."
"Thanks, Finn, you're a sweetie." Kurt leaned up and gave Finn a quick kiss before Finn took off down the hall.
-Mercedes-
"I thought you and Finn were sharing your room?" Mercedes asked as Kurt drove his Navigator out of the school parking lot.
"We did. Then dad decided that we both needed our own rooms so that we weren't constantly together all the time, and we had our 'space.'" Kurt said.
"Oh, Finn's got his own room now?" Mercedes asked.
"Yep, he does. But now he's gone back to not picking up his stuff, and since I'm not on his case about it, well you get the idea." Kurt said. "But I still love him though."
Mercedes smiled and flipped the visor down to check her makeup. "So, what's it like to kiss one Finn Hudson still after four months with him?"
Kurt got a huge smile on his face. "It's amazing. You know how makeovers are like crack to me; well Finn is…well more than that."
Mercedes raised an eyebrow. Kurt glanced at her. "When, Finn and I kiss, it's like you get the most amazing dessert of your life."
"So it's that good, huh?" Mercedes asked.
"God, 'Cedes you have no idea. Finn turns me into a fashionable mess of goo." Kurt said as he continued to drive.
"So what to do you think we should do about this Halloween theme for Glee Club?" Mercedes asked as she flipped the visor back up.
"I was thinking of a possible Twilight theme, but I think I heard that the chess club was doing that."
"That's true; we could do a sports team." Mercedes suggested.
"Ha, no I'm not wearing an awful looking jersey that clearly has a horrid color scheme to it and is not even remotely fashionable." Kurt said as he took a turn at a stoplight.
Mercedes laughed as Kurt pulled into the mall.
-Finn-
Finn had finally made some progress in his room. He had picked up all dirty clothes and put them in the laundry basket and moved it to the laundry room. He even managed to pick it all up in about an hour and half. So all he had left to do was vacuum it, and then make his bed and then he'd be able to have Kurt with him tonight in his room for making out.
20 minutes later Finn was done and feeling very proud of himself. He went down to the living room and turned on the television. He started flipping through channels and landed on HBO; where a movie was just starting so Finn sat down to watch it. After a moment Finn realized that the movie was The Dark Knight. Finn watched the film until Joker tossed Rachel out of the window. Finn had an idea. This is the best idea ever! We could so do this for Glee!
With that Finn shut the television off, and practically ran to his room where he shut and locked his door, and booted up his laptop. Once there Finn started searching for possible costumes for everyone in Glee.
-Carole-
"Finn, you need to open your door. You know the rules, no closed doors with you and Kurt." Carole said as she stood outside Finn's door.
"What's going on?" Kurt asked as he came around the corner.
Carole looked at Kurt for a moment. "Do you know why Finn's door is closed?"
Kurt shrugged his shoulders. "None, I thought he'd come see me when I got home from the mall. I texted him, but he didn't answer me."
Carole knocked again. "Finn, open up!"
"One minute please." Finn's voice was muffled through the closed door.
"Finn, open NOW!" Carole said. "Before I start counting and knock it down."
"Hold on!" Finn shouted.
"Finn, I'm counting!" Carole said. "One, Two…"
Finn opened the door. "What? Kurt's not in here."
Kurt raised an eyebrow. Carole looked at Finn and asked: "Finn what are you doing?"
Finn looked at Kurt as if just noticing. "Hey Kurt, did you just get back?"
Kurt crossed his arms. "I've been back for almost two hours. I sent you a text and knocked on your door. But you never answered."
Finn looked at something in his room and then hung his head as if he were guilty of something. Carole seemed to think that he was up to something. "Finn, I'll ask you again. What are you doing?"
"I was working on something." Finn said.
"Well that something better be you cleaning your room." Carole said. "I've been after you for five days to clean it."
Finn looked up at his mom. "I already cleaned it."
Carole made her way into the room, and true to his word he had it cleaned. Kurt started to come in as, well but Finn jumped. "Uh…Kurt could you wait outside please?"
Kurt gave Finn a look. "What is it Finn?"
"I don't want to ruin the surprise for you." Finn said sheepishly.
Both of Kurt's eyebrows went up. "You, have a surprise for me?"
Finn was slightly pushing Kurt out the bedroom door. "Yes and if you see it now, I won't be able to get it."
Kurt ended up on the other side of the door and before Kurt could say anything else Finn shut the door on him, and turned to his mom.
"Finn that was kind of rude."
"I'm sorry; I just don't want Kurt to find out about this, umm surprise…because I don't want everyone else to know about it until I have everything together for it."
Carole eyed Finn suspiciously. "What are you planning Finn?"
Finn seemed apprehensive. "May I show you, instead of telling you? I know Kurt's going to be listening at the door."
Carole couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. "Sure."
-Kurt-
"May I show you, instead of telling you? I know Kurt's going to be listening at the door." Finn said to his mom.
Damn! Kurt thought. If there's one thing I hate most in the world than homophobic idiots its surprises. And since when does Finn get the idea for a surprise for me? Oh God! I hope he doesn't try to buy me something embarrassing as hell. Maybe I could convince Carole to tell me?
Kurt stood at Finn's door listening for any sign of a hint of to what Finn's planning. But no sound came from the bedroom, and after 20 minutes Kurt gave up hope that he'd find out this way.
Kurt walked through the house to the kitchen and got himself something to drink. A moment later Carole came in with a smile on her face as she looked at Kurt and then she really started to chuckle more.
"So I guess that you know what this surprise is that Finn has planned then?" Kurt asked Carole.
To Kurt's horror, Carole started snorting with laughter. "Kurt all I'm going to say is that it is going to be adorable. And the fact that he came up with this himself, I can tell is a big thing for him."
"That's all you're going to tell me isn't it?" Kurt asked.
"You got that right Kurt." Carole said as she continued to chuckle, as if something really amused her.
"But that wasn't even remotely helpful as to what he's planning." Kurt mumbled to himself. Just as Finn came into the kitchen he came over and stood by Kurt.
Finn went to wrap Kurt into a hug, but Kurt moved away. Finn sighed. "Ok, I'm sorry Kurt for pushing you out of my room."
Kurt glared at Finn. "I don't see what the big deal is Finn? I'm going to find out in the end, so why not just tell me now?"
Finn bites his lip. "Kurt, it's just that…please, you'll find out tomorrow."
Kurt sighs. "Finn, just tell me. If there is one thing I absolutely hate in this world other than homophobic idiots, its surprises."
Finn looks apprehensive then and then looks at his mom. Carole turns to Kurt. "Kurt, you're just going to have to endure the suspense for a little longer. And Kurt, you are not to bother Finn about this again until after he tells you."
Kurt stared at Carole for a minute in outrage, and then composed himself. "Fine, I will be in my room until dinner is ready."
Kurt left the room.
-Finn-
*The next day*
Finn had called Quinn the night before since Kurt was giving him the cold shoulder. He asked if he could talk to Mercedes. Mercedes at first didn't want to talk to him, due to that fact Kurt told her he was being mean to him. So Finn explained to Quinn, who relayed to Mercedes what was going on and eventually Mercedes agreed to talk to him and then meet him in the library when it first opened in the morning.
Finn was sitting in the library waiting for Mercedes, as he was looking at a website that was selling Halloween costumes. But after a moment he saw Mercedes take a seat next to him and she opened a notebook out.
"Okay, white boy, what is this wonderful idea of yours?"
Finn turned to Mercedes. "Well my idea is for the theme for Glee club."
"I got that from the conversation last night. But before I agree to do anything why ask me for help and not Kurt?" Mercedes asked as she gave Finn a knowing look.
Finn looked around and then back at her. "I wanted it to be a surprise for Kurt, and I thought that was obvious."
Mercedes raised an eyebrow. "No, I don't think it is, Finn."
Finn rubbed his neck, before he spoke. "The reason I asked was because you know what cool and hip clothing style is and what goes well together. You had come up with our costumes for Don't Stop and Push It last year."
"Finn, have you read the rules for this thing yet?" Mercedes asked.
"Umm…" Finn started to say before Mercedes cut him off.
"I'll take that as a no." Mercedes then reached into her bag and pulled out the paper that Mr. Shue had handed them all in practice the day before. "It says, Finn:"
All clubs that are currently active in William McKinnly High School, may participate in this event. Though all clubs, associations, etcetera must have a combined group theme to participate.

Finn looked at Mercedes. "Okay, I get the rules."
Mercedes gave Finn a questioning look before she shrugged it off. She flipped a coupled of pages in her notebook, then she looked at Finn again. "Okay so what's your idea for us?"
Finn was practically shivering with anticipation. "We should do Batman."
Mercedes stared at Finn. "You want to do Batman?"
"Yes, I do." Finn said. He looked like he was an excited six-year old kid.
Mercedes didn't have the heart to kill Finn's excitement. "Okay, so you want to do Batman. Again so why did you ask for my help again besides the answer that you already gave me?"
Finn thought for a minute. "You know Kurt's tastes, and everyone else for that matter. I didn't want to pick out the costumes for everyone, and they not like them."
Mercedes smiled. "Alright you got yourself a costume designer. So what do you have planned?"
Finn's excitement was palpable as he leaned forward. "Ok I was thinking that I could be Batman, and Kurt could be Robin."
Mercedes wrote down the information on her notebook as she smiled at the thought of Kurt as Robin. "Okay, so what about everyone else?"
"I originally thinking Artie could be the Bat-mobile, but then I thought that he could be Riddler. Then for Mike I thought Two-Face and Sam as Scarecrow."
Mercedes jotted down the information. "What about Puck?"
Finn was quiet for a moment. "He could be Joker. You know how he says that he's a big bad ass anyway. Oh! And Mr. Shue would be Alfred."
Mercedes laughed. "Okay and for the girls?"
"I was thinking Quinn could be Harley Quinn." Finn said.
"You want Quinn to be who?" Mercedes asked confused. .
"Harley Quinn, she's the Joker's like girlfriend. She wears like this jester out fit that's red and black and some white." Finn said trying to describe the character.
"Maybe after you tell me who you want everyone to be we could look up pictures?" Mercedes said.
Finn nodded. "Okay, then I was thinking Brittney for Batgirl, and then Santana as Batwoman. I was then thinking Tina could do Poison Ivy, and Rachel as the Talia al Ghul, she's got her costume already since she has this cat suit that I thought that she could wear."
Mercedes stopped writing and looked at Finn. "Who am I going to be?"
Finn seemed to get uncomfortable. "Well…I was thinking that you'd make a great Catwoman. Your always so…what was it that Kurt said…oh sassy!"
Mercedes had an eyebrow raised as Finn said this, but then smiled. "Okay white boy, let's get pictures and then go."
-Kurt-
Kurt walked into the music room as everyone seemed to be there except for Finn and Mercedes. That's odd.
After Kurt took his seat, he watched the door and three minutes later Mercedes walked in with Finn, who seemed to be smiling from ear to ear. They both came over and sat next Kurt, as Mr. Shue came in.
"Alright guys! So did everyone read the rules for this scavenger hunt?" Mr. Shue asked, and was greeted with disappointment as only four people raised their hands. "So do you guys want to do this?"
There was a murmur of general agreement that they wanted to.
"Who has an idea for us?" Mr. Shue asked the club. Rachel of course had her hand in the air before the question was finished. "Fine, Rachel what do you have?"
Rachel stood and went to stand next to Mr. Shue. "My fellow Glee clubbers I have come up with hundreds of ideas for this; I have managed to bring my list of suggestions down to three. I believe that we as a club should be either: a) angels, b) people from the Renaissance, or c) characters from Wicked."
As Rachel listed each of her ideas, the group collectively groaned. I so do not want to do any of these ideas of Rachel's especially Wicked, since she had to steal MY solo for Defying Gravity last yea. Kurt thought bitterly
Mr. Shue looked like he felt sorry for Rachel as she sat down since no one agreed to do any of her ideas. Then Kurt was slightly shocked and afraid as Finn stood with a folder in his hand and went to the front. Kurt was afraid to find out what Finn had planned for their Halloween theme.
Mr. Shue gave Finn the floor. Finn looked awkward and then he glanced at Kurt.
"So my idea for the Halloween theme for us would be for us to do a Batman theme. Mercedes helped me this morning in picking out costumes for everyone, and I kind of already picked out who'd be who."
Kurt's mouth was hanging open. Oh. My. God. I am afraid to know what he planned out for this. Oh crap! This is what he was working on last night!
Finn opened his folder. "Um, I figured that since it was my idea and that I was co-captain of Glee, that I'd be Batman. Then uh…Mr. Shue I thought that you could be Alfred." Finn handed Mr. Shue a piece of paper. "Brittany, I was hoping that you'd be Batgirl. And Santana you'd be Bat-woman." Again Finn handed out more paper to them. "Puck, and Quinn, I figured that you guys could do Joker and Harley Quinn. Artie I figured that you could do Riddler. Sam I picked Scarecrow for you. Mike I thought Two-Face would be a good one for you. Tina I thought you'd make a good Poison Ivy. Rachel Talia al Ghul."
Kurt was wondering who Finn picked for him. But before he could wonder any longer, Puck asked. "So who are Kurt and Mercedes going to be?"
Finn smiled. "Mercedes is going to be Catwoman. And as for Kurt I was hoping that he'd be Robin."
Kurt felt the blush creep up his cheeks as he looked at the paper Finn handed him of the Robin suit that was picked for him. Mercedes gave him a squeeze on the shoulder as he read about the costume.
Mr. Schue stood up. "So does Finn's, Batman theme work for you guys then?"
Everyone raised their hands, except Kurt and Rachel. Kurt didn't raise his hand due to shock. Rachel because she was mad that once again no sided with her ideas.
Mr. Schue clapped his hands together. "Alright it's settled then. Glee club will be doing a Batman theme for the Halloween scavenger hunt."
With that all said Rachel stormed out of the room.
Kurt felt doing the same, but he was still in shock as he looked at the Robin costume that both Finn and Mercedes picked for him. He was going to have a serious talk with Finn first about this.
Thank you for your time to read this. I hope that there is more review's for this one then there was on "Moonwalk," but hey a guy can ask right? So review if you want, but I am looking for some ideas for this story for the scavenger hunt.
Again thanks,
Sailordraco
