Great! Beast Boy went and babbled the whole story of how we got in trouble yesterday to the Titans' mailing list and (much worse) of how we were punished. Hilarity ensued.

Really? Batman still spanks you? Ha, ha! wrote Zack, the jerk. (That's Zachary Zatara, in case you don't know, a teenaged magician and member of the Teen Titans with a much-too-high opinion of himself).

But in general the guys (and gals) were supportive. Some of them admitted they were spanked themselves. There was also some good-natured teasing (Kon-el, you might know him as Superboy, wrote, it's a pity you guys don't have invulnerability like me. I'm too old for that stuff anyway, but I'm doubly safe cause in my case it's a physical impossibility.).

I guess Kon's right about that last part, but does he have to sound so smug?

Date: **/**/****

Tonight there was a mass outbreak at Arkham Asylum and Batman and I were busy chasing some of the most dangerous inmates. We managed to arrest Two-Face, the Penguin and Mr. Freeze, but the Joker and many others are still at large. I guess we'll have a lot of work in the near future.

The worst thing is that Batman was quiet and brooding all night, so it wasn't much fun. I fear that he is still mad at me for what Beast Boy and I did with the Batmobile, even though he said he had forgiven us.

We got a visit from Superman today. Alfred invited him in, saying that Bruce had gone to answer the Batsignal but that he was expected to be back in a short while. Superman said he would wait and Alfred took him to the library, as I knew he would. Of course, I was hidden behind the sofa and as soon as Alfred left I attacked Superman by surprise.

No, it was not an impostor Superman, and I hadn't gone crazy, or mind-controlled or evil. It's just a private joke Kal-el and I have. When he visits Wayne Manor I always try to find the moment to jump on him by surprise and we wrestle. Even though he's probably the strongest person on Earth, Kal is also incredibly nice, and it's fun to joke around with him.

So I put him in a neck lock and threw him to the floor and immobilized him. Another great victory for Robin the Boy Wonder.

Yep, I'm aware he was letting me win. I'm not an idiot. As awesome as my combat technique is, this is Superman we are talking about here. But whatever the circumstances, how many kids can say they have wrestled and beaten Superman? There's no need to worry about the details.

Anyway, we were laughing and he said he surrendered, but then the traitor got himself free and immobilized me! He held me and gave me a spank on my butt! Thankfully it was no longer sore from the spanking Bruce had given me.

Later we talked and I told him about how I had got in trouble and that I was worried Bruce was still really mad at me.

Clark said he was sure Bruce had completely forgiven me, and that probably he was just worried because of the mass outbreak at Arkham.

He really worries about the safety of Gotham, Dick, he told me. You know that, of course. However, you may not know that before he got you it was a complete fixation. Bruce used to obsess so much about it that I was seriously concerned about him. He was dark and brooding all the time (he still does that sometimes, but nowhere as much). He never ever laughed. All that changed when he became your guardian. You gave him back the joy of living. He can be stern and intense... he wouldn't be Bruce otherwise, but never doubt for a moment that he loves you. He once told me that you were the best thing that had ever happened to him, and believe me, he means it. Of course he has forgiven you.

I was left speechless at that. I had had no idea that Bruce could feel like that, and it made me feel all warm and happy inside. I just wish Bruce would tell me himself, but I guess he is not that good at speaking about his own feelings.

Gar's telling the other Teen Titans about our spanking on the mailing list seems to have started a trend. A couple of the others told about their own spankings. That got the ball rolling and suddenly half of the team admitted getting spanked in the recent past (wow, I had no idea that so many of them still got spanked! ) 8-o

For example, this is something that Bart Allen sent to the list. Bart is also known as Kid Flash, or sometimes as Impulse. If Beast Boy is hyper then Bart is the king of all hypers. His picture is probably in the Wikipedia article for hyperactivity. He came from some weird kind of computer simulation from the future (don't ask) and he is a speedster. He is now the ward of the Flash, who probably is the only adult who can keep up with him, being a speedster himself. This is what he wrote:

Oh, well, that happens. I get spanked all the time. Flash tried grounding me, but after a while I would forget about it. I don't understand how someone can stay at the same place for hours. Now he says the only way he has found to get to my brain is through the seat of my pants, but I don't know why he says that because he takes them down and spanks me on the bare... wait I'll go ask him... I'm back! He says it's just a way of speaking and how on earth do I come up with such weird questions.

Anyway, I get it whenever I make Flash completely crazy, so it's mostly every day, sometimes more than once. This morning I kind of set the grass on the garden on fire because I was running over it too fast. Flash put it out and scolded me, saying that he has told me many times that I should not drag my feet when I run over flammable material (and it's true, he has, I just forget it sometimes). Then he took me inside, bared my butt and gave me a spanking.

It does hurt, and I think that's why it's so unpleasant. Fortunately the pain goes away quickly. Flash says that sometimes he almost wishes that I didn't have an accelerated healing rate, and I'm kind of puzzled about that. One would think that that getting healed quickly is a good thing. Adults are so strange sometimes!

I don't like spankings, but Flash says that they are for my own good, and I trust him. He's the most honest and trustworthy person I know (I haven't caught him in a fib even once). So I guess that as long as I don't have to stay grounded I don't mind them too much...

That's Impulse for you. He's a lot of fun and a great mate, but to tell the truth, I almost pitied poor Flash when I read that. It's a good thing he has accelerated healing too, or the palm of his hand would always be smarting!

The next post was from Roy Harper. Roy is Speedy, Green Arrow's sidekick. He's kind of a jock, but I generally get on well with him. This is what he said:

(quote)
Oliver's really strict too. Even though he's a billionaire, he says he doesn't want me to get spoiled. I assure him all the time that I wouldn't mind, but does he listen? (Hint: No, he doesn't).

The last time I got it was last week. He was not home yet and he texted me to go to the practice field and make sure I hadn't left any bows outside, because it was going to rain. I said I would, but I was really busy playing that racing game I kicked Robin's butt at, so I put it off for a bit and then I forgot.

Well, it rained, and sure enough, my practice bow got damaged. The bow itself is made of anodized aluminum and the strings are polyethylene, so they are OK, but it has some electronic enhancements and, since it's a prototype we were trying, those parts are not waterproof like they would be in the final version.

Oliver was not happy and he lectured me till my ears were smoking. I tried to explain that it couldn't be disobedience if I had just forgotten, but did he listen? Nope. He said that I should have done what he told me right away.

Anyway, you'd think that the lecture should be enough punishment, but no, he told me to fetch the paddle and I had to take my jeans and boxers down and get over his knees. Man, that paddle kills!

OK, but now, after a lecture AND a paddling, you'd think that would be enough, wouldn't you? Well, no. After I had calmed down, he told me I would have to work part time for a couple of weekends to help pay for the damage.

Naturally, I asked him why he needed my help to pay for the damage, since he is loaded, and he said that he didn't need it, but that I did.

Does that made any sense to you? Neither did it to me, and that's what I told him.

He told me that most people work very hard to make a living, and that I needed to understand the value of that. He asked me if I thought money grows on trees.

I asked him what material bills were made of. He looked confused and said they were made of paper, so I asked where paper came from. He looked confused for another second and then he made a face and tried to swat my bottom! Fortunately I was quick enough to dodge it, but he said that I would have to take the part time job anyway.
(unquote)

Hearing all that from my friends made me feel better. It's not that I am happy that many of them still get spanked, but I have to admit I had thought I was the only teen hero who still got it, and misery shared is misery halved. I don't feel uncool now because I still get spanked.
:-p

Oh, and for the record, Roy did NOT kick my butt at that racing game! We won three games each.
