Salty Tea?

"Now, are you most positive that you don't need my assistance Master Dick? I can easily make something for your friends and I'll be sure to finish before they arrive at the manor." Dick shook his head before smiling at the worried butler.

"Don't worry Alfred! I got this!" Dick exclaimed as he looked over the recipe book. "I'm probably not going to make something too fancy; it's just me, Wally, Roy, and Miharu. Nothing too whelming for me to handle!" Alfred sighed before taking one last glance at the boy wonder.

"All right then. I'll be dusting upstairs if you need any assistance." With that, the butler went off, praying that nothing happened to his kitchen, at least nothing like the last time he let the young master cook. Alfred still had nightmares.

Back in the kitchen, Dick smirked before closing the cook book and smiling at his success. He just finished baking some of Alfred's famous cookies, albeit they probably weren't as tasty as the originals but at least he tried. Now he just had to make the drinks.

Grabbing some glasses, Dick decided to make everyone sweet tea, since soda has now been banned from the manor. No one really wanted a repeat of the last time Wally and Dick had soda. Shaking his head, Dick began to pour the tea when he remembered something: the time Wally put vinegar in the bananas and had the whole Team, himself included, eat them. A smirk suddenly appeared on his face as Dick let out his signature cackle, laugh, giggle whatever it was and grabbed the salt shaker. Taking one of the already filled glasses, he shook some (more like a lot) salt into the tea and then used a spoon to stir the mixture, making sure the salt dissolved.

When he was finished, Dick moved on to preparing the other drinks. (He decided to only put salt in Wally's cup; he should be the only one to suffer Robin's wrath.) The next thing the boy wonder did was place different colored straws in each glasses, silently remembering which color straw was in Wally's salt tea. He was not going to make the same mistake as the speedster; he was too clever for that.

"He won't know what hit'em," Dick stated with a cackle. At that moment, the doorbell rang. Springing into action, Dick answered the door and there stood Wally and Roy. "Hey guys! Come on in!" Roy and Wally stepped inside and immediately went over to the living room and sat on the couches.

"So, what's the agenda today D?" Wally asked as he stretched out on the couch.

"We aren't going to spray paint the Batcave again are we?" Roy asked. "Or any other stupid, life threatening pranks cause if we are, I am out of here." Dick shook his head.

"Nah, today is just a regular hang out day. Video games and movies," Dick replied.

"Sweet!"

"Alright."

"But first we have to wait for Miharu."

"…You invited your girlfriend?"

"What? There's nothing wrong with that!" Dick defended.

"There isn't but…are you sure she really wanted to come?" Roy asked. "I mean do you really think she wants to just play video games with us all day?"

"Doesn't sound like a fun date," Wally stated. Dick was about to say something back when the doorbell rang again.

Opening the door, Dick smiled, knowing exactly who it was.

"Hi Mi-chan, Roy and Wally just…" Dick went silent as he noticed that his girlfriend was not alone. "Ka…Ka…"

"Sorry I'm late Richard," Miharu stated. "I had a hard time convincing someone to come along."

"Tch, I still don't know why I had to come." There standing next to the tiny girl stood a teen, about Roy's age, who had an apathetic expression on his face. Even his eyes showed his boredom and non-caring attitude. Dick gulped; he was so not feeling the aster right now.

"Is he going to let us in or not?" the teen asked, silently glaring at the boy in front of him. Shaking himself out of shock, Dick laughed nervously and moved aside for the two guests before closing the door.

"Is Miharu here?" Wally called from the living room.

"Yeah…" Wally and Roy stepped out and froze when they saw the newcomer that stood next to their two friends.

"Uh…D, who's that?" Wally asked.

"Guys, this is Kasuka, Miharu's…" Dick cut himself off as he noticed Kasuka's partial glare that was aimed right towards him. "Uh…heh.."

"This is my big brother, Kasuka!" Miharu exclaimed, oblivious to the situation between her brother and boyfriend.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Roy and this is Wally; we're friends of Dick's," Roy greeted. Kasuka turned to face Roy before yawning in a bored fashion, which ticked Roy off.

"Nee-chan, why did you bring me here again?" Kasuka asked.

"Papa said you needed to get out and do something!" Miharu yelled. "He said you were just lying around the house and being lazy!" Kasuka rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Whatever." As the conversation between the two siblings went on, Roy, Wally and Dick just watched.

"I don't like him," Roy stated.

"Are you sure he and Miharu are related?" Wally asked. "Cause she's so sweet and he's so…"

"Rude, lazy and apathetic?"

"Yeah…"

"Hey!" The three froze and turned to see Kasuka fully glaring at them. "Aren't you going to get drinks for your guests?"

"Uh…Oh! Okay…" Kasuka rolled his eyes at Dick's ever so intelligent response before looking at his sister.

"Why my dear precious little sister chose you of all people I will never understand," he mumbled to himself. Dick soon came back with the drinks, having to make another glass for his other guest. Passing around each glass, everyone took a sip when suddenly…

"*cough* What the hell?! This tea is salty!?" Dick's eyes widened as the wrong person coughed up the salt tea.

"Crap…"

"Dude, you are so dead," Wally whispered. Roy nodded as he sipped his tea.

"What the fu..!"

"Onii-sama! Language! Ah wait! Don't kill Richard! Onii-sama!"

~End?~

Poor Robin…again…He just wanted revenge on Wally. Instead, he gets on the bad side of his girlfriend's big brother.

This was inspired by the same show that had the vinegar banana prank. Except instead of only one tea being salted, all of them were. ;P I love that show.
