BONUS CHAPTER!

Surprise!


Using the holo-computer in his gloves, Batman was on a video call with Superman while running diagnostics on the batmobile. They were having an argument on the method of approach regarding an issue with Lex Luthor when Robin, in very casual civvies, walked by.

"Just so you know," he informed his mentor, "We transformed the living room into a giant tent."


Batman was in the Batmobile this time, heading to Gotham while on a call with Aquaman, and clearly annoyed with the Atlantean. Robin had been silent the entire ride...up until they passed a BBQ restaurant.

"Apparently you need a permit for a flame thrower." he announced, looking out the window. This momentarily drew the attention of the senior heroes. Robin then smirked and gave Batman a look that clearly said, 'I know for a fact that you don't have a permit for our flame thrower'.

The look he received back from the Bat was exactly why he didn't say this aloud.


Unable to meet in person at the time, Black Canary was on a video call with Batman addressing the Team's training. Like many other calls before it, conversation was stalled when Robin walked by, on his phone.

"Thats one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. 'What if he's your Romeo but you're not his Juliet?' Really? Cause that means you survive the friggin play."


Green Arrow and Speedy were at the Batcave on serious business when an urgent call came in from Superman. Green Arrow stood several feet behind Batman during the call, while Robin and Speedy engaged each other in sparring. As Batman gathered the necessary information for Superman, and made plans to *ugh* 'team up', the Kryptonian asked, "How are we lookin?"

"Sexy, but it's not like we're trying too hard," a voice other than Batman's remarked from the outside of the camera, "I mean sure, we're trying, but it's almost effortless."

Robin's remark had GA coughing to cover his amusement, and Speedy bent over double from laughter.

But hey, give the kid points for accuracy.


This time, Kid Flash was the guest in the Batcave while his mentor was on a video call with Batman.

A fact that irritated the Bat to no end; he was surrounded by Flashes. Well, best to just get the thing over with.

Something he could have done much faster if Robin and Wally hadn't gotten into an argument, and proven to be an even bigger distraction than usual. As it escalated, he heard Robin declare, "Well at least I didn't cry for two hours because my parents didn't invite me to their wedding!"

While Wally sputtered in his own defense about being 5 when that happened, the redhead then retorted, "Well at least I never picked the lock on a monkey cage so I could dress a monkey up as Abu, and end up releasing FIFTY crazed monkeys!"

A comeback that left Robin sputtering is his own defense now, about being 6 when that happened.

Batman suppressed a sigh.

It was turning into a really long day.


Green Arrow was talking to Batman through a video call on the Batcomputer again, but this time Artemis was with her mentor, restocking her arrows.

A minute into the call, she came up to GA to ask a question, but paused as she saw the screen; Batman, in the Batcave.

"Wait, the Batcave is an actual cave?" She suddenly asked from her side of the call, startled.

"No, it's a clubhouse we made out of styrofoam and bubble wrap," Robin's sarcastic voice drawled from beyond the batcomputer's camera frame. "Of course it's an actual cave!"


"At this rate, a confrontation with the press will be unavoidable." Wonder Woman informed Batman through a video call on the batcomputer. Before she could continue, or Batman could reply, Robin walked by.

Predictably, on his cell phone.

Weren't there one of those law thingies, uh, rules? About cell phones in the Batcave?

Eh, probably more of a guideline anyway.

"Okay, shoot." he told the person on the other end of the call. Fifty bucks says it was Wally.

"Ya?"

"Hang on, before you even begin to elaborate, tell me this. On a scale of 1 to invading Russia in the winter, how bad is your idea?"

"Playing soccer in stilettos?" Yep. Definitely Wally.

"Is that your idea, or how bad it is?"

"I'd invade Russia in the winter before playing soccer in stilettos!"

"What? No!"

"Would you stop bringing up stilettos?!"

As he walked away, Robin's conversation faded into the distance.

Batman simply gave Wonder Woman a look that said, 'Do you see what I have to put up with on a daily basis?'
