Ch.14: Snippers

Birds and Bees

"You do know there is no point in having this conversation with him, right? You know, given his background and all." Bruce asked, looking at Alfred exaggerated. The teen they were talking about was not in the room but they knew he'd show up any minute.

"I do." Alfred answered.

"Then why are you making us suffer like this?" Bruce pestered.

Alfred simply replied "Because I feel like it."

"That's Arkham level evil." Bruce commented, shaking his head. Alfred smirked before leaving the kitchen to do whatever it was he was going to do. Bruce waited a few more minutes before his youngest entered the kitchen and fell into a chair beside him.

"What's up?" Danny asked curiously.

Bruce looked at him seriously. "I'm going to say three words and how you react is going to determine this entire conversation."

"Uh… Ok..?" Danny said, looking his father up and down.

Bruce rubbed his face before mumbling "Birds and bees."

The reaction was immediate. Danny screamed, ran out of the kitchen, sprinted down the hall, all the while yelling at the top of his lungs "I see no evil. I hear no evil. I speak no evil."

"Good talk, Danny! Good talk!" Bruce called after him sarcastically.

Run, Tucker, Run!

"Did you find the surface area yet?" Sam asked as she moved on to the next problem of her work-sheet. Danny, who sat right next to her on the hammock swing, mumbled a "Nope."

"Well hurry up." Sam whined, playfully punching Danny's arm. The teen pushed her back and said "You know I hate surface area!"

"That's why I gave it to you." Sam stated, a smirk on her face.

"Hardy-har-har…" Danny mumbled dryly before looking at his watch. "I wonder where Tucker is. He was only supposed to get us water-bottles."

Sam shrugged in response, using her foot to rock the hammock. The two teens looked up when they heard a high-pitched scream. Around the corner, Tucker flew by with Cujo, Churro, and Ace at his heels, yapping and barking. The cocoa-skinned teen was running in circles, zig-zags, and swirls. This strange course did not deter the beasts following behind him though.

"Well that says a lot…" Danny commented, watching without sympathy.

"That's the most he's worked out since… Ever." Sam stated beside him, making the boy cackle evilly to himself as they watched.

Crappy Road Trip

"Jason, it's your turn to drive~!" Dick sung as he eagerly sprung from the driver's seat and joined the back. The second oldest Bat-Kid got up with a grumble and took Dick's former seat, mumbling "Nothing says fun like driving an RV."

"Suck it up!" Danny yelled at his brother from the back, a smirk gracing his face. Dick fell into his seat beside the teen, happily stretching his arms along the back of the couch and lounging back. Danny laid on his back before putting his legs in Dick's lap, much to the older's amusement.

Jason glared at him in the mirror. "Shut up! You don't have to drive this stupid thing!"

Tim looked up from his book. "He could cause he does know how to drive but we're not in costume so we would probably get arrested."

It was quiet for a minute before Danny said "What he said!"

Jason groaned in the front, mumbling violent things under his breath. Which wasn't new.

Danny cackled to himself before holding the phone over his face so he could play on it, shoving his ear-buds in as well. Each of the Bat-Kids began doing their own thing. Bruce and Alfred hadn't even bothered to stop their activities since they started the road trip, letting the 'children' work out their own problems.

The RV settled into blissful silence. It was the quietest break in months.

…

TIME RUNS OUT!

Pure, heavy metal blared through the speakers at the highest volume it could possibly go. Most of the occupants in the RV had a mini heart-attack and then they began yelling at Jason to turn the 'crappy music' off, as he was the one in control of the speakers. Jason began screaming back at the other occupants, telling them it wasn't him.

No one noticed Danny completely calm and silently cackling to himself as he played with the controls on his phone.

Trapeze Buddy

"Hey Dick…"

"Yeah Danny?"

"If I fall, I blame you."

"Why do you say that every time we do this? You've never fallen once." Dick asked his little bro, who was standing on the opposite trapeze stand he was on.

Danny looked at him dryly. "Cause I remember what happened to Stephanie."

Dick flamed crimson red. "She was fine…"

"She was in the hospital for a month!" Danny countered, a wild look on his face. Dick chuckled nervously while Danny face-palmed.

"Let's just fly now." Dick said, prepping himself to jump from the stand.

"If I die, I blame you!"

"I get it!"

Both jumped from the stands and began to perform their favorite routine that they always used together. They flipped back and forth, swinging from the bars expertly.

Once they finished, both stood on their separate stands and grinned at the other, panting.

"Look! You're still alive!" Dick called to his brother.

Danny grasped his chest and called "Stroke!" He made a show of falling to the platform's floor and convulsing on the ground before 'dying'. Both eyes closed and still in his 'dead' position, Danny said "Look Dick! I'm dead!"

"Yeah… You're dead alright." Dick mumbled, shaking his head.

Well... That took longer than usual.

Kadzait: Suck it up.

No!

Sarra Torrens: That's what I was thinking. XD

JP-Rider: OH, he would probably die of mortification is Power-Girl showed up. XD

KainVixenheim: I wear a lot of baggy, long-sleeved stuff so... Yeah... Guys don't take much interest in me anyways. XD

Ninuhuju: I feel ya. DP is my only crush at the moment. XD I'm so glad to hear about your friend! I was in your friend's place at one point... It sucked.

GreenDrkness: So far, all of the Flash's have been on accident and not genetic (as far as I'm aware) so no. XD

Scheffelman: *hugs you back* :D

Anime Hotty Lover. 18: You're in college? I haven't even made it to high-school yet! Oh well, I'll live. XD Glad you enjoyed~!

BringbackDannyPhantom: That really is Vlad-creepy. XD You need to tell that to Danny. XD

THEBOXGHOST113: Hmmm... Maybe. I haven't quite decided yet.

Poohbearmorris: Vlad... He's a creeper and you don't want to read the stuff I come up with him. XD And the GIW are gonna be jerk-offs, like usual. XD

YumiStar: They're a killer. XD

Heiress of Slytherin Serenity: Uh... Do I think you should go to what now?

Guest of Honor: Trying to prevent end of the world, here. Glue is the source of the Apocalypse. XD

Skymuse: Yeah... I hate it when that happens. I'm a girl too. XD

IWasNeverReal: Personally, I think hanging out with hot Leaguers kills any and all desire for Paulina. XD

Natashawagner122: Hahaha! Thank you, thank you~! XDDD

SweetyKinz: As long as it's funny... It's ok they die... Storing that for later use. XD I said 'you sly dog' to my brother one time. It was hilarious. XD 'The Talk' is already on my list. Danny's going to have a melt-down. XD

16ckelman: YES. That would be fantastic! XD

Bibbledoo: Yeah, Danny's not gay in this story. XD

Fluteplayer99: I felt awkward writing it until I started laughing my butt off for no reason. XD I consider The New 52 series a comic book series (though it's probably more graphic novel). Skip the first two of the series and go straight to Vol. 3: Death of the Family for semi Bat-Kid action. And I don't exactly know when Ace started but he appears in Batman: The Brave and the Bold quite a bit. And you were right on: Krypto the Superdog had Bat-Hound in it a couple of times. XD
