Chapter 14: Birth of the Leedlers

Robin: 10 years old

Wally: 12 years old

"KF!" Robin called to his friend happily, running over to greet his friend. The two of them were at the Watchtower, since their mentors had to get there quick for some emergency meeting. Instead of bringing the kids home, they brought them along with them.

"Hey, Rob!" The red-head said with a smile, running over to his best friend in a flash (hehe).

Batman and Flash watched as their proteges did their 'secret handshake' they had come up with the previous year.

"Stay out of trouble. We'll be back soon." Flash said, before zipping away. The Dark Knight followed, and was gone as well.

Wally turned to his best friend. "Wanna watch Spongebob? I was watching it before I left." he said. Robin shrugged. Taking that as a yes, the speedster raced over to a nearby TV that the two would watch when their mentors had to go to a meeting and they were dragged along. He found the channel almost instantly.

"Leedle leedle leedle lee!" Was the first thing they saw. Patrick's face filled the screen, looking more stupid than ever. Five seconds later, the TV was off again.

Robin joined the other. "What's 'leedle'?" he asked. The speedster shrugged, and they stood in silence for a minute.

"LEEDLE LEEDLE LEEDLE LEE!" Wally suddenly yelled, before disappearing. In the distance, the Boy Wonder could hear him still yelling it, before returning. "LEEDLE!"

Robin gave him a confused look. "Why are-"

Before he could finish his question, Captain Marvel walked in. "What's going on?" he asked. The speedster simply grinned, and yelled his new word at the hero. Deciding he didn't want to know, he exited the room.

Robin laughed. "Leedle!"

Batman and Flash walked back to the room where they had left their proteges. Unfortunately, they were nowhere to be seen.

"Kid? Robin?" Flash called out. Seconds later, there was a pre-teen on his back yelling 'LEEDLE LEEDLE LEEDLE LEEDLE!'. Shocked, Flash ran. Wally fell off his back with a crash, while his Uncle crashed into the wall.

Batman took a step to the side, and Robin jumped right where his mentor had been moments before, and landed on Kid Flash. He looked up at the Dark Knight, grinning. He was giving them a 'wtf' look.

The two younger gave each other a look, before they both started yelling 'LEEDLE LEEDLE LEEDLE' again, and after jumping on KFs back, they both flashed away.

Batman frowned, walked over to the TV, and turned it on. The same episode was re-playing, and after watching for a few seconds, the 'leedle leedle lee' scene showed up. He narrowed his eyes at Barry.

"What! I didn't think Spongebob would be dangerous!" he protested. Then the Dark Knight glared at him. The Flash sped off, calling for his nephew.

As Batman followed the 'leedle', he only thought of one thing. His ward was NEVER watching Spongebob again.
