Dick's POV
I can't wait for Selina to get back!
I am so completely hyped for this heist!
It'll be ASTEROUS! I don't even care WHAT we're stealing!
I've been doing some research though, and the Jade Cat-eye Amulet is on display for a limited time at the 'Gotham's Treasured Artifacts'.
Soooooooo... I have my suspicions...
Honestly though, they should call that place 'Please Steal My Stuff!'
As I click to some up close pics of the Amulet, which is honestly really cool (I love the almost hieroglyphic cats that dance around the exterior) , I hear something outside the front door.
Then there's the sound of a key making the lock click open.
She's back!
I close my laptop and stand up, ready to go talk to her, when I hear her talking with someone else.
I pause to hear what they're saying.
"-great time tonight." Selina says.
"So did I. It was great getting to know you better." the mystery person agrees.
There's a pause and then Selina laughs.
"I'm still not that easy, Bruce. No kisses on the first date."
Okay... ew.
Things then get really quiet, and I can hear him whispering to her.
Okay... I'm bored. Time to get this guy OUT of here.
I walk around the corner into their line of view and act as if I'm surprised to see them.
"Selina! You're back!" I announce.
Sel and 'Bruce' take a few steps away from each other, look at me and I freeze.
Oh shoot.
He's Bruce Wayne. The Bruce Wayne! Batman.
Now, this is one time when I almost wish I told Sel about the Ids I figured out.
Almost.
"Oh! Dick, you're still up!" she says, feigning surprise. "Umm, Bruce, meet Dick. My son."
I almost laugh at his expression. It's a mixture of confusion, shock and nervousness.
HA! Confusion, shock and nervousness from the Batman himself! It takes all I have not to laugh!
I'm about to say something but Selina beats me to it.
"Don't look so terrified, I am single." she laughs.
"I'm adopted." I clarify.
That seems to relax him a bit. Oh well...
"Well... I'll see you soon, Miss Kyle. It was nice to meet you... Dick." he said quickly, forcing out Dick's name because of how... wrong it sounded.
As soon as the door closes, I drop the 'good little kid' act.
"Why were you out with him?" I ask, honestly hoping it wasn't for the reason I know it was.
"We were only going out for drinks. It was no big WHOOP." she answers while rolling her eyes.
"No big whoop. Suuuuure." I mutter. "Are you dating him?"
"Is this an interrogation?" Sel teases.
"I'll take that as a 'Yes'." I reply.
"And I'll take that as a yes." she smiles.
"So you admit it!" I notice, pointing at her.
Selina rolls her eyes again, before walking over to the bookshelf hiding our gear.
"It's not that I'm against you dating, but why him?!"
"Come on! We don't have all night and the Cat-eye Amulet isn't going to steal itself!" Selina huffs, tugging her outfit off the hook and into her room.
"It's actually called the Jade Cat-eye Amulet!" I call after her before I grab my costume and retreat into my room.
"Whatever!" She shouts back.

Wally's POV
"Oh, Wally you're so funny!" giggled M'gann, clinging to my arm.
"Babe, you know it." I grinned.
Just as she was about to kiss me, she gripped my shoulders and began to shake me.
"Wake up! Wake up!" she shouts, her voice sounding oddly like Uncle Barry's.
"Kid, WAKE UP! Bats wants the whole team at the cave!"
As I open my eyes I groan. That was SUCH a good dream! Why couldn't he have woken me up a little later!
"Why?" I groan, although I'm pretty sure someone else would call it a whine, but Kid Flash DOES NOT whine!
"Something about a cat lady or something..." Uncle Barry shrugs.
My eyes widen at that, cat lady? He MUST mean Catwoman! And where there's Catwoman, there's Swift Claw!
I'm fully awake now! I leap up and check the clock, which reads 1:37am.
"Thanks for the wake up call, I really have to go! Don't want to be late!" I say, zipping into my costume and making my way to the nearest zeta-tube.
Which just so happened to be 4 blocks away, disguised as an old porta-potty.
Smell included.
Yeah... I want a new location.
'Recognized- Kid Flash; B03' drones the familiar female, robotic voice.
Next is the unpleasant sensation that comes with zeta transport, a flash of yellow light and finally the arrival to Mt. Justice.
"I'm here!" I shout speeding into the briefing room.
"About time, I thought you were supposed to be fast." grumbles Artemis.
"Oh yeah, well I thought you were supposed to be-"
"Enough." Batman says, cutting me off.
I swallow, and sit in the closest chair to me.
Huh... he didn't growl... he must be in a REALLY good mood...
"Catwoman is having a busy week. I have an unwavering suspicion that she is going to steal this."
Batman presses a button and a hologram of a green necklace with an eye on it.
Why would she want that?
"This is the Jade Cat-eye Amulet." says Batman.
Ohhhh... Well, that DOES sound better than 'Green Eye Necklace'...
"It is priceless and is being held at 'Gotham's Treasured Artifacts' museum. Your mission is to prevent Catwoman and Swift Claw from obtaining it and bring them to justice." Batman ordered.
"Understood, Batman." responded Kaldur, leading the others to the Bio-ship.
"Kid Flash, a word?" asks Batman, a polite order.
"Yes sir?" I ask.
The rest of the team is waiting by the door for me.
"I can't let you get off so easily for putting our, and that child's, safety at risk. As your 'punishment' you are in charge of bringing in Swift Claw. If you fail," (which I KNOW I will) "the paperwork, and will be passed on to you."
"But- but you REALLY shouldn't!" I yelp.
"And why is that?"
'He has a total upper hand over me! I honestly WON'T be able to do anything! If I try he could reveal our secret identities!' I think, panicked.
"I- umm- I- uhhh..." I stammer, trying to think of an OKAY response.
"Yes, that is a WONDERFUL reason. But my decision still stands." Batman said, before leaving.
As I joined the team, Artemis elbowed me in the side. Hard.
"Clever, Baywatch." she teased.
"Shut-it, Blondie." I huff.
Now I'll have loads of paperwork, on TOP of the normal amount...
Great.
Just great.
God hates me.
