Hi there! I've wanted to do this one for a while but couldn't quite make it work until I was sitting in the classroom today doing some sub work. This chapter in no way endorses hazing, but the scene is pulled from a fantastic comedy. I won't tell you which one, you'll have to guess! Winner gets to pick the next movie I pull a quote from.

Enjoy!


Mount Justice - Saturday, 3:10 p.m.

"Guys, stop it!" Jaime Reye's voice rang out from within a locker in the team's locker room.

"Sorry rookie, it's just the way it's got to be." Artemis smiled cruely as she, Dick, Tim, Connor, and Garfield continued pouring foam shaving cream into the same locker as Jaime.

The sound of the young heroes had, unbeknownst to them, awakened their weekly"den mother". While the team was mostly already at or near adulthood Batman had still insisted on having a rotating League member be on standby at Mount Justice. This week Jon Stewart had drawn the short straw, much to the annoyance and dismay of the ex-Marine. It wasn't than Jon inherently disliked the young heroes in the field, it was that in their downtime they were the epitome of "hard to handle". With today being no different Green Lantern rose from his nap on the couch and made his way to the sound of the noisy teens.

In the past four years Jon had generally become accostumed to their various antics of the team, but when he reached the locker room the sight that greeted him threw the elder hero for a loop. With a locker stood Jaime Reyes, the teams newest addition and the second Blue Bettle. That alone wasn't the problem. The issue was that the locker was filled to the brim and then some with foam shaving cream. Five teens/young adults stood outside the locker gloating in their success until Jon interuppted them, "What the heck is going on in here?"

Most of the teens jumped, though Dick and Tim had alread detected Jon with their ninjaness. Dick, ever the quick-thinking leader was the first to respond, "Oh nothing, just some harmless shenannigans."

Jon stared at Nightwing for several long seconds before responding dryly, "I can see that, but did you have to be so damn loud?"

"Well, sir," Tim, taking a cue from his 'brother' answered first, "shenannigans do tend to be very loud."

Barely holding back a smirk Connor was next to keep up the running gag, "Yeah, shenannigans by their very definition have to be quite loud. Otherwise, what's the point?"

Putting on his best pout face Garfield whined, "You wouldn't deprive us of our shenannigans, would you GL?"

Dick, now visibily laughing, was determined to keep the joke rolling, "I mean, heroing is very stressful. If we didn't have our shenannigans how would we cope?"

Tim was about to speak, but was cut off by Jon, "Enough!" Raising his charged power ring in an uppecut fashion toward his face Jon glowered menacingly at the team, "I swear to God I'm going to ring-whip the next person who says 'shenannigans'."

The room was silent for a few seconds until Wally sped into the locker area. Dick, sensing an opportuniy, couldn't help but ask, "Hey Wally! What's that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?"

"You mean Shenannigans?"

"OOOOOOOO!" The perpatrators, and Jaime, all gasped and pointed from Jon to Wally. The speedster was quite confused by his teammate's reactions and his eyes widened when GL walked slowly towards him with a fully charged and glowing power ring.


I hope you liked this newest chapter, and please review to guess the movie it's from!
