Ch.4: Nothing Says Overkill Like the Bat-Fam
"Where are they? We have to go!" Green Lantern Hal Jordon complained, looking at his watch for the umpteenth time. He was tapping his foot, waiting by the Zeta-Portal with a few others Leaguers: Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, and Superman.
"Be patient, Hal. You know Batman isn't ever late unless something's up. He also said Red Hood was late." Wonder Woman soothed, looking at the time herself. She, Superman, Hal, Batman, and the some of the Bat-Family were all supposed to go undercover for a mission the Bat assigned them. Where the freak was he?
One of the Zeta-Portals lit to life and the Bat-Family all exited. Every last Bat.
Nightwing was giving Danny a piggyback ride, the youngest Bat's arms around his neck. Red Hood was teasing the younger and going 'really?' to the older. Spoiler and Red Robin were yelling at each other, probably over something the other called them. Ravager, Black Bat, and Batgirl were betting who would win the fight.
Banshee, the Bat-Hound, and Axion (Cujo's 'hero name') were all trailing behind the rambunctious crew. Bat-Hound was ever stoic while the other two were nipping at each other's heels. Banshee was laughing at the other, even though the canine was bigger than him by feet, (as that was his thing) while Axion switched from whines to playful growls.
And Batman... Well, he looked like he was about to shoot someone.
The four waiting Leaguers did a sweat-drop.
"I keep forgetting he has eight kids..." Hal muttered.
"And three pets..." Superman added.
"And three pets." Hal repeated.
"I do not see the point of us going." Martian Manhunter commented. The others simply waved him off, wearing similar expressions.
The big family approached, still being loud and slightly obnoxious. The only one calm and collected was Bat-Hound, who sat patiently at his master's feet. He ignored the taunting sounds from Banshee, trying to pester him into playing the game.
"Is there a reason you're bringing all of them?" Superman asked, raising an eyebrow at his friend.
Batman raised up one finger in a 'one minute' gesture before turning on his heel and facing his kids. He took one long, deep sigh before he let his irritation show.
"Stephanie, Tim, stop fighting and apologize already! You three, enough betting! Jason, shut up! Nightwing, stop leading Jason on! Danny, if you continue to be quiet, I'll give you ice-cream when we get home." The Dark Knight rushed, pointing at each group of kids as he yelled. They shut their mouths when he said their names. Danny made a silent 'yes!', throwing his hands in the air.
Batman turned to the last two pets and said "SIT!"
He was instantly rewarded for his efforts.
Turning back to his colleagues, the Dark Knight lost any and all irritation in his face and, once again, lacked any emotion in his facial expression.
The four Leaguers were a little disturbed with how easily Batman hid his agitation that easily. It made them wonder how many times the Caped Crusader had wanted to strangle them with his bare hands.
Seeing the looks of fear, all the Bat-Kids mouthed 'bad week' to them in sync. They also all shrugged in sync as if it was nothing.
"There's going to be more to this mission than I originally thought. Which is why I brought along these idiots. I don't want to have to call for backup." Batman explained, making a slight gesture to the group of black-clad figures, ranging from adults down to teen years.
"There was no point in us coming." Hal said casually, leaning against a random tree. The other three Leaguers all had similar exaggerated expressions as they stood around and watched the Bat-Family go berserk on the criminal base, watching huge explosions like it was normal.
