Roy found himself spending yet another of his Friday nights babysitting for his mentor's friend's kids. The kid's were Roy's friends too but babysitting them was a whole other story.
"How do I always end up babysitting Wally and Dick?" Roy asked yet again.
"Because." Oliver said, again.
"Are you going to say that every time I ask?" Roy questioned.
"Are you going to complain every time you get a job?" Oliver snapped back as he turned off the car.
Roy went up to the front door again and slowly turned the knob only to be tackled by Wally.
"Hey Roy." Dick said softly. Roy nodded.
"Ok so we'll be patrolling, Wally is grounded and Dick broke his arm, so that's why they aren't going tonight." Bruce explained as he walked to the old grandfather clock. Roy watched him leave the turned to the kids. He knew there was no getting out of this so he only sighed and took a seat next to Dick.
"How'd you break your arm?" He asked.
"I fell off my bike." Dick said before going back to watching some show.
'Ok, so far I haven't lost anyone,' Roy thought. Just then a flash of red came flying past him. 'But somehow I manage to forget that Wally has super speed.'
"This is boring, let's do something, come on let's hang out in the bat cave, no get something to eat, no wait I got it!" Wally said at a million miles a minute. It took Roy a second but he soon realized the last thing Wally said. He was just about to get up to yell at Wally when the speedster ran in front of him and dropped a pile of pillows and blankets at his feet.
"LET'SMAKEAPILLOWFORTCANWEPLEASE PLEASEPLEASEIT'LLBEFUN!" Wally said jumping up and down.
"Hey Ozzy, let's slow down I don't understand a word you're saying." Roy said but before he knew it both Wally and Dick began to build their fort. No sooner had they started had Roy began to pick up the pillows.
"What are you doing?" Wally asked.
"What does it look like, I'm cleaning up this mess." Roy replied.
"No you're not!" Wally said zipping around Roy, grabbing as many pillows as possible. Just then Dick screamed out in pain, Wally had just bumped into his arm.
"Oh come on Wally! Dick, you're okay." Roy said going from stern to calm in a second.
"Um, let's do something else." Wally said in an attempt to get himself out of trouble.
"Sounds good." Dick said, finally calming down.
"Yeah,but Wally said it." Roy joked.
At first Roy only said that as a joke but he soon regretted it. Wally's suggestion of going into the batcave was just too extreme.
"No way I'll get fired if I go in let alone allow you kids to go in there!" Roy protested, but it was too late. Both speedster and bat had left.Dun dun !
