A/N: Aaaand here's chapter 4 :] I'm honestly too tired to really talk about completely pointless stuff lol.
On another note, thanks to Illucida! She gave me the idea to give each member of the team a cute lil' moment with Kid!Robin. :] So, again, thanks! xD Gives me an idea where the hell to go with this story lol.
I decided to go with M'gann, first. Because I figured it'd go with the story better lol. So yeah, in this story, right now it's nearly five at night. Just to maybe give u a better picture? Idk. Lol.
THANK YOU to everyone who reviewed, favorited, alerted, whatever lol! Thank you thank you, guys! :] I really don't even know how to put it into words how touched I am at ur reviews and such. :] I really appreciate it, fo' serious-cereal.
I apologize for any spelling/grammar/punctuation/ect. mistakes! I probably made a lot lol. And sorry if it's too wordy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing! (-sniffle-...)
P.S: I posted my new story, "Sting Like a Bee"; basically the team goes to a high school football game to cheer on M'gann, who's on the cheerleading squad, and Conner, who's on the football team. I have a strong urge to go into crack-fic territory with this one lol...but yeah. Wally and Dick (Robin) go on a snack run and things happen. What things? I haven't exactly figured that out yet...but yeah, check it out and give me feedback? :O
Enjoy!
The whole team gathered in the large TV room, surrounding the couch which was currently occupied by Robin. He was grinning, per usual, and kept swinging his tiny legs around; well aware but ignoring the fact that the back of his heels kept hitting the frame of the furniture. No one quite knew what to say, so the silence was growing extremely awkward.
Were they supposed to punish him?
But what would they punish him for? Hiding was pretty much the whole point of the game. Although..
"You know you broke one of the rules, right?" Wally questioned. His arms were crossed and his bright green eyes never left the six year-old. Robin was now smirking; his head shaking.
"Nu-uh! You said you couldn't hide in 'your room'. And I didn't." Robin pointed a finger in Wally's direction. "I hid in your room."
The red head opened his mouth to say something. Although nothing came out so he closed it again, slowly narrowing his eyes. 'That clever little bitch.'
"Aren't you a clever little thing?" It was as if Artemis was reading his mind; just without the swearing. She bent down to ruffle Robin's hair but afterwards he swatted her hand away.
A frown formed on his lips. "I'm boooored.." he whined. The team exchanged looks. Suddenly, M'gann's face lit up.
"Hello, Megan!" She began floating towards the kitchen. "Why don't you help me with cooking, Robin? It's getting to be dinner time, anyways!" The young acrobat shrugged and jumped off the couch.
"Okay." M'gann held out her hand and he took it letting her lead him along. Conner, Artemis, Kaldur, and Wally looked on with a smile.
"Ain't that sweet," Wally cooed. Artemis softly elbowed him but she still chuckled.
"C'mon," she motioned for the boys to follow her and they all started heading out. "Might as well practice those moves Black Canary was showing us." Once they were out of the room, Miss M let Robin jump up to sit on the counter. He swung his legs as he was doing before.
"What are we making?" he asked. M'gann smiled.
"We're gonna be making…" Oh. Crap. What do little kids like to eat? "Well, what sounds good to you, Robin?"
He thought for a second before excitingly throwing his arms around, "Spaghetti! Can we have spaghetti?"
"Mmm…it sounds great, but isn't that a little messy?" M'gann didn't want to be scrubbing red sauce stains out of the walls for the next week. Robin clasped his hands together, begging.
"? I promise, I won't be messy!"
M'gann smiled at that. She knew he'd probably try not to be messy, but something's bound to get a stain in it if you put a kid, and spaghetti together. She sighed and used her telekenisis to open the freezer and multiple cupboards.
"Alright, spaghetti it is."
"YES!" Robin threw his fist in the air and, to Megan's surprise, he leaped off the counter to hug her legs. "Thanks, Megan!" The Martian's mouth was open slightly, letting a small noise escape as her cheeks slowly turned pink. She wanted to squeal at how cute this kid was being right now. She also really wanted to pick him up , squeeze and hug him until there's no tomorrow, but she had a feeling that she'd be pushing her luck. So, she settled with placing a kind hand on his head and slightly ruffling his black locks.
"You're welcome, Robin."
After M'gann had gotten all the supplies out and let the pot full of water sit on the stove to boil, she began flipping through one of her many desert cookbooks. A tug on her skirt made her look down.
"Whatch'a doing?" Robin rocked on his feet, trying to get a better look. But it was no use. The counter was a good couple inches higher than his line of sight…
Megan smiled while picking him up and set him down beside her cookbook.
"Just trying to find a good desert to go with this, is all." She rotated the book for Robin to see the pictures better. "What do you think?" A green finger was pointed to a picture at the top of the page, "Chocolate-chip cookies? Or," she flipped a few pages over and pointed at another picture. "Chocolate fudge brownies?"
Robin leaned back on his hands with a smirk, "Ttch-brownies!" He added in a quieter voice, "Please." He was just trying to be absolutely adorable in every sense of the word, wasn't he? Megan once again resisted the urge to hug him.
"Of course we can!" she winked before closing the cookbook. "Good pick."
The water on the stove had finally begun to boil, so M'gann asked Robin to hand her the box of uncooked spaghetti noodles. "Thank you!"
Robin nodded in return and watched as she emptied the box into the large pot. Next, M'gann turned to the right side of the stove where a large skillet was finished heating up. She placed a decent amount of uncooked ground beef into the pan, humming contently at the sound of it sizzling. For a second she had forgotten that Robin was with her and she looked over to find him, once again, sitting on the counter. "Robin, do you want to stir the noodles?" The boy nodded madly and crawled over to grab a large wooden spoon. "Be very careful, alright?" Miss M warned. Robin gave her a two-fingered salute.
"I will!"
Before they knew it, they were draining the noodles and letting the sauce simmer with the fully cooked bits of meat.
"Whew!" Megan wiped her forehead with the back of her hand and began mixing the ingredients for the brownies. "Now time to make the desert." Now usually Miss Martian only makes things from scratch, but this time she was cheating a little because she was using Betty Crocker's brownie mix. Brownies, for some reason, keep giving her trouble when ever she tries to make them from scratch, and she didn't feel like screwing up more of her baking tonight. She let Robin carefully stir everything together after she cracked the eggs. While he did that, she oiled the glass pan and preheated the oven.
"Now," Megan instructed, "carefully pour it into the pan.." with ease, Robin did as he was told. Megan beamed at his work and used a spoon to scoop the rest out. "Great job, Robin, thank you!" She placed the brownies in the oven and closed it shut with her hip. She looked down at her teammate. "Would you mind grabbing the others and telling them dinner's ready?"
'Whoa. Did he have a sudden growth spurt or something?' M'gann had taken note of his height, but now he seemed…taller. Before he barely reached her hip, and now he seemed that height exactly-maybe even a centimeter higher. She knew she was new to earth and humans and all, but she was pretty sure it wasn't exactly normal to grow a couple of inches in, what…forty five minutes? Give or take.
"Okie dokie." He turned around and did cartwheels out the doorway. A few seconds of silence went by.
"I think I'll contact Uncle J'onn…"
A/N: Dun dun dunnn!
Jk. Lol. Wahh...I start work again tomorrow. Dx Although I'm just about through with the spreadsheet, so I'm gonna see with my dad if I can stop working after that. Because I start school next week and I need to get my shit together lol and relax-at least try to. Because I haven't been able to do that all summer. Dx Booo.
