Hey guys! Dawn here! I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, so I really hope you enjoy it. This takes place parallel to Mentor Relations.

I really want to thank everybody who reviewed last chapter, you guys really made me feel better when I was unsure, so yeah! Special thanks to Hellion Rogue who not only left me two morale boosting and generally wonderful review but also inspired this chapter.

Plus, I haven't actually seen these movies, I looked them up, so if anything is wrong, I'm sorry. I have an irrational fear of scary movies so...

Warnings: Cursing, mentions of torture and extreme violence

"This. Movie. Is. Lame!" Dick grounded out, falling back onto the couch. Roy rolled his eyes at the younger boy as he leaned into the pillow propped up behind him.

"You wanted to watch it," The redhead reminded him lazily, smirking slightly when he heard Dick's huff.

"Well, I thought it actually had some worth," The acrobat responded distastefully. Roy grinned at him and moved to kneel by the large stack of movies on the floor.

"I have an idea of what we should watch next," The archer said, slowly turning and holding up a DVD for Dick to see. The raven raised an eyebrow in response.

"It?" He inquired, "Like the Stephen King book?"

"Have you read it?" Roy asked, deflating slightly.

"Nah," Dick shook his head, "Just heard of it." The redhead brightened back up again and moved to put the DVD in the player.

"Great!" Roy exclaimed and Dick eyed him suspiciously. The archer smiled at his younger friend. He really didn't want to do this- Wait, scratch that, he did want to do this. Really, Roy loved the kid to pieces but after what happened on Roy's last date because of the little troll- well, let's just say, Roy wasn't quite satisfied with the ending. He then decided he wouldn't make Dick sit through the whole movie, only until Roy thought the troll had been punished enough.

The redhead smiled to himself and pushed play.

/\*0*/\

Nearly an hour later, Roy found himself curled up with a pillow squeezed against his chest, his eyes wide. He didn't remember the movie being that scary! He supposed the fact he was scared shitless would've been more bearable if Dick hadn't been sitting beside him and muttering insults at the TV.

"Oh my god honestly, he's in the drain. The God Damn drain! How the hell is that not suspicious? And honestly, Pennywise could be loads more scary. I mean, the Joker is ten times scarier than it-" Dick exclaimed, gesturing widely while Roy turned to glare at the boy.

"Dick, please shut up."

Appearing to not have heard him, Dick continued on, "Hell, my grandmother can do better than that!" Roy continued to glare at the acrobat and flinched when a scream came from the surround sound speakers.

"Dick, seriously," Roy meant for it to sound harsh and commanding but as another scream decided to ring out from the speakers his voice cracked. Dick turned to look at the older boy incredulously.

"You can't honestly tell me you're scared, Harper." Roy flushed a deep red that nearly matched his hair and gave the Boy Wonder a dirty look.

"Hell, no." He responded though the effect was once again ruined by sounds coming from the TV. Dick raised an eyebrow at the teenager.

"Right, like I'd really believe that." The acrobat huffed, crossing his arms, "If it's really bothering you that much then let's watch a different movie." Dick said, vaulting suddenly off the couch and back flipping. He landed with his arms stretched out in the air beside him. After bowing mockingly at Roy (who stuck his tongue out at the young boy) Dick popped the DVD out of the player.

"So, what should we watch now?" Dick asked, carefully placing the movie back in its case. Roy shrugged.

"How about a different scary movie? One that doesn't involve psychopathic clowns?" The redhead suggested hopefully and Dick threw him a smirk over his shoulder.

"Are you sure you can handle it?" Dick asked as he pulled a movie out of a pile that was actually taller than him. Miraculously (or maybe more so unsurprisingly considering who Roy was dealing with) the tower didn't topple over though it did sway lightly.

"Yes, I'm sure." Roy snapped, "Just put in the damn movie."

"Language, Roy, that's no way to talk to your superior," The acrobat tutted and Roy rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, just get on with it."

"Well then, I found the perfect movie," Dick exclaimed with a smile, "It's called Audition…"

/\*0*/\

Watching the movie Audition proved to be a bad idea. While the two young heroes did in fact make it near the end of the movie, it wasn't without certain… consequences.

"Oh shit- Oh shit- WHAT THE FUCKING HELL!" Roy yelled, jerking back as Asami cut off Shigeharu's foot. Dick had his face hidden behind a pillow though his eyes were peaking over the top. His baby blues had gone wide with fear and he looked like a chibi doll from Japanese anime rather than the acclaimed partner to the Batman.

"She- She- Ah!" Dick sputtered, his voice reaching pitches that only little girls and prepubescent girls are able to reach.

"Turn it off! Turn! It! Off! TurnitoffturnitoffTURNITOFF!" Roy cried, finally giving into his instincts and diving behind Dick. He burrowed into the cushions of the plush couch as Dick fumbled with the remote.

"Which button is the off button?"

"What the hell do you mean 'which button is the off button'? It's your fucking TV!" Roy yelled though his voice was muffled by the cushions.

"I can't find the right remote! Why the hell do we have so many remotes?" Dick proclaimed, lunging for another remote. Roy lifted his face from the couch and stared at the young acrobat.

"You help me on my geometry homework at age nine yet you can't figure out which remote goes to which electronic?" Dick glared at the archer and tossed a remote at him. It hit him square in the face and the TV falls dark. The two stared at each other and slowly let grins start to take over their faces.

Until they heard a scream, that is. Both heroes started violently. Roy crashed onto the floor into a heap (swearing and shaking all the while) and Dick jumped up, pulling a birdarang from somewhere on his person (where exactly is yet to be determined). The acrobat relaxed slightly when his eyes swept over the TV.

"We just forgot to turn the sound off," Dick sighed, sagging in relief as he swiped the remote to the sound system off the table. Roy stopped struggling to untangle himself momentarily to glare up at the boy.

"Oh, is that all?" He huffed, his voice shaking slightly. Dick rolled his eyes at the archer and threw his birdarang at him, missing the redhead's face by millimeters. Before anything else could be said a thud was heard above their heads.

"I thought you t-turned the sound off, Dick," Roy stuttered, tensing up.

"I did," The raven breathed, his eyes flicking between the ceiling, his fellow hero and the sound system. Roy gulped.

"I was afraid you'd say that." Another thump resounded through the room. The two locked eyes and nodded, an unspoken message passing between them. As one, they creep towards the door with Dick plucking his blade out of the carpet as he passed (if he made it out of this alive he would have to formulate a good excuse to Alfred). With Dick in the lead, they skittered up the stairs completely silent.

Dick nodded, signaling that the two needed to head forward. Roy gulped again but nodded. Their steps are light as the walk across the patterned carpet, trying not to hit any of the creaky floorboards. Roy closed his eyes as and took a deep breath as he entered the room.

He let out a sigh of relief when he saw the open window and the rocking chair.

"See, it's just the rocking chair, the wind must've been making it move," Roy said with false cheerfulness. He knew as well as Dick that in the movies they've watched together it was never actually the wind. Dick opened his mouth and was about to reply when a shadow fell across the two.

"It's Asami!" Dick exclaimed and Roy let out a screech. The two try to run but Roy ends up tripping over the carpet on his way out of the room and Dick is snagged by the back of his shirt.

"Roy!" Dick cried out, and Roy turned around to see his friend dangling from the hand of his captor. The moonlight shining through the window made it difficult to see who was actually holding the boy. All Roy could see was dark hair.

"Dick!" The redhead exclaimed as Asami started creeping nearer.

"Go on without me!" Dick yelled and Roy's eyes go wide.

"But-"

"Save yourself!" Roy hesitated for a second longer before jumping to his feet and taking off down the dark hallways of Wayne Manor. Once he was far enough away he fell to his knees.

"Dick!" He cried out again. He can't believe he left them there to die! Oh, Dick… He was so young. Roy felt so bad.

"Roy…" Roy started (great, now he was hearing voices on top of everything else).

"Dick?" He asked the air, "Oh God, am I dead too?"

"Roy…"

"Yes?"

"Shut up…" Roy was thwacked in the head and he turned around slowly with wide eyes.

"You're alive! Oh shit, I thought you had been killed!" The archer cried, throwing his arms around the acrobat.

"Yeah…" Dick said, rubbing the back of his neck, "About that. Turns out it wasn't Asami." Roy stared at him and finally got a good look at the figure behind him.

"Hey, Alfred…"

("How long before you think Bruce and Ollie are back?" "Monday." "But it's Friday…" "Exactly." "Well shit.")

/\*0*/\

"Honestly, I'm astounded by how these movies got into their hands!" Alfred said crossly, his arms folded against his chest, "They're only children! I would hope you being not only adequate vigilantes but also parents would be better prepared to prevent and deal with these sorts of things…"

Ollie winced as he listened to Alfred's lecture. It was painful being lectured by anybody let alone someone who could actually do it well. This whole ordeal was painful. How the hell was he supposed to know what Roy was going to get up to? It was his anniversary; can't he have a night where he wasn't thinking about his kid? His eyes strayed over to Bruce who was obviously actually paying attention to the lecture.

Though he was paying attention, it was also obvious that Bruce felt it wasn't really his fault. He was just being courteous to Alfred. Ollie knew that Bruce blamed him and that he was going to get an earful for it later. Ollie winced. He really didn't need another lecture on top of this one (and the one he was bound to get from Dinah when he got home).

Out of the corner of his eyes he saw Roy and Dick hiding in the shadows. Roy tossed him a smirk before disappearing towards the basketball court. Dick on the other hand smirked in his 'I'm better than you manner' and mouthed something to Ollie.

'Loser.' Ollie bristled when he read the word that formed on his lips. Before the blonde could say (or mouth really) anything back, Dick disappeared in the same direction as Roy. That little brat-

"Mister Oliver, are you even paying attention to me?"

Damn that demon spawn.
