Let me just start by saying how sorry I am for disappearing. This 3rd Quarter of school has been stressful as hell and I needed to take time to focus on school work. Thankfully, the 3rd quarter is over with. I hope you guys are still reading and I hope you enjoy this one. Also, I would really appreciate reviews! I'll get on with the story because you guys have waited long enough for an update and you don't need my babbling…

Batmobile
Wally POV
You know, today started out normal.
Dick invited me over to the manor to spend the night and I said yes.
The day went by just as ordinary as any other day, even after arriving at the manor.
We ate dinner, played video games, swam in the pool, watched a movie, stole the batmobile, and got ourselves in the middle of a high-speed car chase.
Like I said, it started out normal… but then again... didn't all of our sleep overs?
"I'm bored, Walls." Dick groaned as he flopped on his king sized bed.
I laughed and fell back next to him, "Well, it's your house, what do you want to do?"
We both started to concentrate, trying to come up with an idea, when an thought struck me.
"I know, let's go play hide and seek in the bat cave."
"You know that Bruce doesn't like you down there."
I just smiled confidently and came back with, "Well Bruce isn't here, is he?"
Dick let out his creepy cackle and grabbed my hand as he sprinted to the top secret entrance to the bat cave.
I had been in the bat cave before, but I was still awestruck every time I stepped foot inside.
"Okay, coming down here was my idea. So... you're it for hide and seek." I said before speeding away to look for a place to hide.
That's when I came across a perfect hiding place…the batmobile.
I climbed inside the Batmobile and while trying to hide and I accidentally hit a button that started the car.
"Damn it!" I yelled, as I heard the engine start.
I was stuck in the passenger side's floorboard when the mini-bat showed up next to me, laughing.
Then his 'I have an idea' face appeared.
"Oh God, what are you thinking?" I asked, worry clear in my voice.
Dick smirked and jumped into the driver's side.
"I'm thinking… that maybe we should take this baby for a ride."
"Well hold on, wait a second, Dick maybe we- "I was interrupted by the Batmobile taking off.
With a yelp, I was back in an actual seat and I looked outside to see trees and bushes passing in blurs around the car.
Then I looked over to see my, fourteen-year-old, best friend driving with a smirk painted on his face.
"Dick! Dick! Oh my God! Stop the car!" I yelled, bracing myself.
He looked at me and he actually had the nerve to looked offended.
"Dude, I've flown a plane before. What makes you think I can't drive a- "?
"DICK!" I yelled as I reached over, and grabbed the wheel, to avoid a head on collision with a tree.
"Watch the road!" I yelled with anger.
Getting angry was the wrong move though because my anger just made Dick angry.
Instead of 'watching the road', Dick made eye contact with me to yell, "THERE IS NO ROAD!"
He wasn't wrong, there was no road.
I just sat in the passenger seat fuming, when Dick took a deep breath and said, "Look dude, we're fine. I'm good. I haven't driven the batmobile before but I've driven loads of other stuff."
"Dick… you can't drive. You are fourteen years old. If we were on a real road right now- "
"Well good thing we aren't." he smiled, his confidence back.
He took a right on two wheels as he let out another cackle.
"Look, Dicky, buddy, I love you but… YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE!"
Dick rolled his eyes.
"C'mon Walls, this is super self-explanatory."
I suddenly felt sick to my stomach as I turned around in the seat.
"Oh my God, where are the seatbelts? I need a seatbelt like right now." I exclaimed, searching for something to protect me.
"Wally, chill… look I'll show you that I know what I'm doing. This is the button for the seatbelts." Dick said with a smile as he pressed a large blue button.
For a second nothing happened, until the car lurched forward at an even higher speed.
Let's just say that the scream I let out wasn't exactly manly.
Then the car started speeding down a hill as I tried to brace myself.
"Dick! Dick! Stop the car!"
Dick's face was panicked too as he relented and yelled, "Okay, Okay!"
He began to stomp his foot on the break but nothing happened.
"DICK!" I yelled again, my voice still at a high pitch, while I shut my eyes.
"I'm trying. It's not working!"
While we were both panicking, we failed to notice that we had made our way into an alley.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just won't give it anymore gas." Dick smiled nervously.
That's when we turned and I realized that we were on one of Gotham's most used roads.
"We need to get back." I whined desperately.
"Okay, Okay, Uhm…" Dick stuttered before letting out a scream as he dodged a car.
Of course, by doing this though, he managed to hit a stop sign.
"Dick, Dick what do we do? What the hell do we do?" I screamed.
"I don't know, I don't know!" and what scared me the most about Dick's uncertainty was his lack of confidence.
We are actually screwed.
Our identities will be revealed.
Batman's identity will be revealed.
And then he is going to kill me.
No matter what uncle Barry says.
That's when Bruce's voice came aloud over the car's speakers.
"Dick? Are you in the car?" He asked.
He sounded calm but Dick and I both knew that is not at all how he felt.
"Yes! Yes, Bruce! How do you drive this thing!? There aren't any breaks!" Dick asked, panicked.
"There are breaks, but you decided to take the batmobile out for a joy ride when I was replacing them." Bruce growled through the speakers.
Dick was silent as he took in the information, but I wasn't as patient.
"BRUCE! HOW DO WE GET BACK TO THE MANOR!?"
"Okay Dick, I need you to listen to my instructions very closely… take a right."
And he did. The police were still on our butts though.
"Okay, now, there is a yellow, square button by the wheel. Press that and then take another right." Bruce ordered.
Again, Dick did exactly as he was told and smoke went everywhere. Then he took a right and a couple sharp turns until we were back into the woods.
The sirens had stopped because we had lost the police and honestly I had never been more thankful for silence in my life.
"Dick, are you and Wally safe?"
"Yeah Bruce, we are good. We're on the way back to the cave now."
"Good, and Dick?"
"Yeah, Bruce?"
"You are grounded until you are old enough to drive."
He sighed and nodded at that, "Y-Yes sir."
After a few more minutes, we were pulling into the bat cave and Bruce stopped the car by putting resistance on the concrete.
We both got out of the car and were cowering in the shadow of Bruce.
I knew it was terrible timing, but I felt it was a point that needed to be brought up,
"Uhm… If I could make a suggestion? I think you should invest in some seat belts."
Thank you for reading. Again, I apologize for the wait. Please review. I hope you enjoyed this chapter/one-shot. I apologize for any grammatical or spelling errors.
