"What I want to know," she said as she folded her arms across her chest, "is how you not only managed to get the Batmobile on the roof of my apartment building but why you decided to put it here."
Jason Todd folded his arms across his chest and leaned back against the black automobile in question. Sure, playing a prank on Batman was just a tad bit insane, but they needed a bit of crazy in their lives that wasn't caused by a clown, a guy who wears question marks or a freak that looked like a penguin.
"Well, Jason?" Impatience snapped in her voice. "Are you going to tell me how you got the Batmobile on my roof and why or not?"
"Well, now, I can't reveal all of my tricks, now, can I?" A smirk screwed up one side of his mouth as she grumbled beneath her breath. "Come on, what'll I talk about at all those Wayne family functions I'm expected to attend?"
"You mean all the functions you don't attend because there's always some reason or another for why you can't?"
Zing, point to her, Jason thought as he stared into her burning eyes. Should have known she'd have something ready to counter that particular argument.
Not that anything he said wouldn't have been met with some other equally cool statement. One area she wasn't lacking in was brains. Nobody could accuse her of being an idiot. Any who treated her like she was stupid found out quickly how wrong their assumptions were.
"I didn't attend the last function for a very specific reason."
"And that specific reason is?"
There's the other skill she possesses an abundance of, he thought, grimacing. Not that he shouldn't have expected it. She learned the art of interrogation from two of the greatest: Batman and Commissioner Gordon.
There was only one way for him to win with her: by reminding her about why he hadn't attended the last Wayne function she all but ordered him to attend.
"Kit, I didn't attend the last function because I had a concussion, broken ribs and a busted up leg."
"That you got by getting into a prank war with Damian."
Zing, second point goes to her. However...
"Ah, but I won said prank war and that's all that matters."
"After you got tossed off the Pioneer Bridge," Nightwing not-so-helpfully pointed out. "Handcuffed and beat to all hell."
"You don't need to tell her about how badly the little demon kicked my ass, Wing."
"Like she doesn't already know?"
"She's already had a long discussion with the little demon about physically attacking all of you," Kit said with a tiny sniff. "Now, can we get back to discussing how you got the Batmobile on the roof of my building? And," she added as Jason traded a look with Wing, "why it's here?"
"Like I said... can't tell you all my secrets, now can I?"
"You conned Superboy into helping you with this, didn't you?"
"Why do you think I got Superboy to hoist the Batmobile on the roof of your building?"
"Maybe because he and Red are rather conspicuous in their absences here."
"Aren't you acting just a tad bit paranoid here, Kit?"
"Considering who we were all trained by?" Wing's lips spread into one of his trademark grins. "Paranoid is not that much of a stretch here." Kit elbowed him in the side. None-too-gently from the looks of it. "Hey now..." he complained, rubbing the afflicted area. "Don't elbow me in the side. My ribs are still tender from the other night."
"You shouldn't have helped him and Red prank Robin then," she retorted primly. "Wouldn't have gotten that shot to the ribs had you convinced them not to go after the little demon."
"Well, it seemed like a good idea when Hood suggested it."
"And when he suggested pranking Batman by putting the Batmobile on my roof?" She tapped her foot with mild irritation. "Did that seem like a good idea, too?"
"Well..." Wing hedged. "It did when Red mentioned it to me."
"Again, who is conspicuous by his absence."
"Lighten up, Kit," Jason said. "Red was called away on Titan business."
"Seems rather convenient that he got called away right after the Batmobile mysteriously got placed on top of my building."
"Well." Wing sent her a sheepish grin. "Might be I sent him and Kon on a mission..."
"Mhm." She tapped a foot. "After you three bird brains got Superboy to put the Batmobile on the roof of my building."
Wing opened his mouth to reply, but a dark figure swooped out of the shadows to land on the roof, interrupting him. The thunderous expression on his face let all three know he wasn't amused.
"Oh, I know that look," Kit muttered as she looked at Batman. "That's the Batdaddy is mad and one of you is gonna get it look."
"Like how you said one of us is gonna get it, Kit," Jason grumbled as he stared at the dark figure. "Way to show solidarity."
"Hood," she said as she turned to head back towards the access door. "If you're going to prank the Dark Knight? Then you can take the punishment for it all by yourself."
