Cookies. Why, out of all things, did Wally have to give him cookies?
When Batman had heard of Robins awakening, he had been on the roof of the GPF headquarters, having been called there by the Bat Signal. When he had arrived, Jim Gordon was standing there with a legion of other officers. They had been newly recruited, and Gordon wanted them to meet his very good friend, the intimidating Batman. This meeting was also because Batman was unsure if these new recruits were corrupt or not, so he wanted to intimidate them just in case. Tell them who got things running in this town.
Batman glowered at the officers as Gordon was making introductions. Some men noticed when they were held under his gaze a split second longer than the others, and that probably scared the living daylights out of them. He could almost see them vibrate, much like Flash would do when he was held under intense pressure. He had to hold back a slight smirk.
Then, when Gordon was lecturing the officers on regulations, Batman's communicator beeped repeatedly.
The officers eyes were immediately fixed on the bane of criminals. They watched as he reached into his utility belt and drew out the device. He pressed a button or two and Kid Flash's upper body was soon visible.
"Yes?" Batman was kind of pissed that Wally had interrupted a meeting.
"Batman! Sir! They woke up! They stopped laughing! Well, I mean, like, Wolfs still laughing his fur off and all, but Robin and Artemis are up. Guess what they said?"
Batman was glad his son was alright, but he had to resist the urge to roll his eyes at Kid Flashes entity. "What?"
"They want cookies."
Okay. Cookies. That really caught him off guard. "What?"
"Cookies... It's kinda scary. Like their totally obsessed or something."
This time Batman did roll his eyes. Artemis didn't even like cookies. "Alright. I'll be right there. Keep the team all in one place, I'll be arriving at Mount Justice in three minuets."
"Roger that, Bats!"
"Oh, and Kid Flash?"
"Yes?" The redhead grinned up at him like the moron he was.
"Get some clothes on."
The officer's burst out laughing as Wally looked down in surprise. He turned beet red to match his hair when he realized he was in his boxers. "Wha—Artemis!" The screen got fuzzy and soon turned to static and the communications were cut off.
Commissioner Gordon wiped tears of mirth from the corners of his eyes. He turned to say goodbye to the Dark Knight, but saw the man was already gone. The other officers noticed too.
"I hate it when he does that."
Pietro Tristin's, one of the newbies, eyes went wide. "He does that often?"
"Yeah, and it's really annoying."

Batman was trying to keep Artemis and Robin away from the roof. Yes, the roof. They had been screaming for nearly half an hour before Batman finally had to resort to knockout gas. That was before Superman had come bursting into the mountain, faster than the machine could recognize him. It didn't get to read him entirely, so it said, "Superboy—B_0_4-". That didn't exactly settle the real Superboys bad mood. Said clone growled. But his look of hate and displeasure turned to one of confusion as he saw the look of panicked excitement on his seniors face. "Um..."
"Batman!" Of course.
The Dark Knight held up a finger, silencing the Man of Steel, as he took his sweet time getting Robin and Artemis strapped into the hospital beds in the infirmary. Sugar highs are nothing to look down upon. They were hell if you put them together with the wrong people. Such as Artemis and Robin.
When Batman returned, he was greeted with a strange sight. Superman almost jumping up and down in excitement with his clone in the background, gazing at him in a confusing fear.
He sighed. "What is it, Superman?"
"Black Canary's gonna have a baby!" The superhero literally cooed.
Okay. Was not expecting that.
