At the Watchtower
Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, and Flash walked into the monitor room only to see Batman sitting at the table in his seat, plotting something.
"Uh bats?" Flash asked as he walked over to batman looking a little scared.
"What, Allen?"
"What are you doing?"
"None of your concern." He answered shortly.
Flash nabbed the papers from his desk, and read it aloud, "Ideas on how to kill Impulse." Flash glared at Batman.
"No way am I letting you kill my grandson! What'd he do anyway?!" Batman pulled up a video footage of the Mountain when June and Bart came in from France. Flash then turned to Batman.
"So what if he took her to France?!" Flash asked, confused.
"He took her to France without telling anyone. It was irresponsible." Batman said as he got up, grabbed his papers and walked out the room.
"Flash, you may be forgetting the fact that your grandson kissed her," Clark pointed out dryly.
Barry grinned proudly, but then frowned. "Soo... Bart is screwed then?"
"Yep."
"I'm still proud of him." He said as he backed up slowly. Batman gave him the bat glare.
"Bruce, she's twelve, almost 13. You need to stop treating her like a child." Wonder Woman said as she walked in front of Flash. Batman lightened his glare.
"C'mon Bats, lighten up a little!" Clark grinned, "or I'll call Ollie to annoy you to death."
Batman's eye twitched, although they couldn't see. He glared at them. "Your grandson better be grateful he has accelerated healing."
Green Arrow ran into the room, looking around wildly. "What's the emergency!?"
"Bats is trying to kill my grandson!"
"What for?"
"Bringing June to Paris and then kissing her on the cheek," Wonder Woman rolled her eyes
Ollie then looked at batman who was still giving flash the bat glare. "What about Caitlin?" He said a little concerned.
"What do you mean Ollie?" Diana asked him as she walked over to him.
"Has anyone tried to kiss my little girl?" Ollie said as he reached for his bow.
Batman frowned, what if... he pulled up security footage. He searched through some cameras, until he found one. Both Batman and Green Arrow glared at the screen, seething.
"Isn't he dating my Cassie?" Diana demanded.
"I believe so," Aquaman said.
"You don't think he's cheating on her?" Aquaman said. Green Arrow then typed something in on the monitors. Then he found what he was looking for. On the screen was Jaime and Cassie on their date. They were cuddling on the couch watching a movie, Jaime had his arms around Cassie. She had her head on his chest.
"It doesn't seem like something he'd do... a kid who got on Guy Gardner's good side wouldn't do that," mused Green Arrow.
"June seems to be threatening him in this video," Black Canary pointed at one scene. Batman smirked.
"And Caitilin is threatening Bart here," Diana pointed out in another. Batman's smirk widened.
"And Dick, Tim, and Jason are planning something with Barbara here." Clark added. Batman's smirk was so wide, it was almost creepy. Well, not almost, is WAS creepy.
"Um...bats?" Flash asked. He turned and looked at the other leaguers. They looked a little scared.
"Yes?"
"Are you alright?"
"Yes I'm fine. I'm very proud of my children." Batman said as he turned back towards the screen. The leaguers then looked at each other .
"I can't tell when he's scarier; when he's angry, or when he's proud," Ollie said.
"Soooo... you're not gonna kill my grandson?" Barry asked hopefully. Bruce paused, giving the speedster some hope.
"For now," He disappeared from the room.
"We are SO lucky he adopted kids, or who knows how he'd be like now," Dinah said. Everyone fell silent, trying to imagine Batman without his little birds. They all paled drastically at the thought.
They then started to back up slowly out of the room.
At the Cave
It was late at night, and Bart couldn't sleep. He walked, yes, walked, to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. He was really hungry...
That's when something, or someone, jumped him.
Then everything went black. A few moments later, Bart woke up with his stomach still grumbling.
"Hungry?" A voice said. Bart then looked up and noticed that he was tied up to a chair. Cliché much? He then tried to vibrate out of the rope but couldn't.
"Feeling the mode, aren't you?" a new voice chuckled.
"Ughhhhhhh," Bart replied, his head spinning.
"I told you to just hit him over the head, Jaybird,"
"Replacement was the one who drugged him, Dickhead."
"What! No I didn't!"
Bart's head cleared, and he saw three figures in front of him, all familiar looking boys. "Huh?" He suddenly heard his stomach growl.
"You guys wouldn't happen to have something to eat, would you?" Bart flashed them a timid smile.
Jason grinned maliciously at him. "Actually yeah," He held up a chicken whizzee, "So the quicker you tell us your intentions without baby sister, the sooner you get to eat."
Oh, so that was what this was about.
"Look she's cool ok? She's a nice girl alright now give me the food." Bart said. Jason didn't look convinced at all. He then looked at Dick and Tim. They had the same look.
"Tell us the truth. Now." Jason said.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you like her or what."
"Look, she's cool, alright? I like hanging out with her that doesn't mean I like her like that." Bart squeaked. Jason just rolled his eyes and have Bart the chicken whizzes.
"Ughh this isn't gonna be enough, it's only one!"
"So then why don't you tell us the truth?" Dick glared. Bart shuddered underneath the glare, it was as scary as history books described, if not more.
Tim held up a jar of nutella, waving it in front of his face. Bart groaned, "You guys really wanna torture me, don't you? Nutella is a speedster's greatest weakness."
"I've known Wally since we were nine, of course I know that." Dick rolled his eyes.
"And what FRIEND brings you to Paris, gives you a rose, then kisses you on the cheek?"
Bart flushed. "You know about the rose?"
"We're the sons of the Goddamn Batman." Jason said in a 'duh' voice.
"How's he holding up?" Barbara strolled in casually.
"He won't spill." Dick said as he turned to Barbra. She then walked over to him.
"Ok Bart you better spill or else."
"Or else what?"
"Or else we will have Batman come in and do what he does best." The boys looked at her.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that bats will come in and give you the worse kind of bat glare until you spill your guts." She said with a sly smirk on her face. Bart looked like he was going to pee himself.
"Okayokayokay!IreallylikeJuneandthoughtit'dbenicei fItookhertoParisbutIswearIwouldn'tsoanythingtohurt herormakeheruncomfortable!" Bart squeaked out at super speed. Somehow, all four of them understood.
Tim tossed him the nutella. "You better be telling the truth." He said threateningly.
"Because you not only will have us, but Caitilin and Batman after," Barbara glared. Then the four disappeared. Jason stayed, though, and smirked creepily.
"I don't care what the others say, I don't want you to even go within FIVE FEET of June," Bart then looked terrified. He could tell that Jason was serious, just by the look in his eye. Jason then turned around and left the room, leaving Bart still tied up to the chair.
Once Jason left the room, Bart started to vibrate out of the chair. Once he got out of the chair he walked over to the door, opened it and left. Then he came back and grabbed the nutella.
Bart practically appeared into his room. He locked the door, double checked the closet and under the bed, before finally getting back into bed. Needless to say, he was extremely paranoid.
Bart spent a good ten minutes hiding in his room before there was a knock on his door. He then got extremely scared and slowly opened the door, only to see that it was Jaime.
"Blue! Thank god it's you!" Bart said as he was brought into a bear hug.
"Uh Bart? Are you ok?" Jaime asked really worried.
"Yeah, man, I'm fine. Why are you asking?"
"Well, it's just that your hugging me really tight, el mano." Bart then quickly released him from the hug. Jaime noticed that he looked scared. Jaime then sighed and started to wonder what Caitlin did to him. And he knows since she can take him down, anything from her scares the living crap out of him.
"Was it Caitilin?"
Bart shuddered. "No, but thank lord it wasn't. June's brothers threatened me, trying to get me to tell my 'intentions' towards their little sister."
Jaime looked rather amused. "Really? That's it?"
"What do you mean, 'that's it'? They're moded! Besides, wait until they get on you for playing with Caitilin, and wait 'till Wonder Girl finds out..."
Jaime's smile disappeared. "Yeah, well, Phoenix already told me to stay away from Caitilin, and I'm not doubting her skill or anything, but I don't think it'd actually-"
A flying shuriken appeared out of nowhere, nearly impaling Jaime's head. It embedded itself into the wall. His eyes widened. A note attached to the shuriken read 'Believe me now?'.
Bart and Jaime looked at one another. "Run." Bart said. Jaime took off.
There was a giggle in the room. June flipped off the rafters and landed on Bart's bed.
"How long have you been watching from up their?"
"Since my brothers kidnapped you."
"What! And you didn't do anything?" June just gave him a smile.
"I just wanted to see what my brothers would say. And if they went too far then I would make it living hell for them." Bart just smiled at her. Nice to know she has his back. He then sat on his bed next to her.
"Oh and nice aim with the shuriken by the way." Bart said as he tried to pull the shuriken out of the wall.
"Thanks, but don't tell Cay I took it from her belt." She said as got up and yanked it out of the wall.
"Sure." Bart grinned.
June placed the weapon into her belt. "Emergencies," She explained, seeing Bart's confused look.
"Oh, and the note, nice touch."
"He looked ready to wet himself, he won't be going anywhere near Caitilin anytime soon." June smirked. Bart suddenly frowned. He looked at June closely, and saw that behind her sunglasses, her eyes were red and puffy. She suddenly coughed.
"June... are you sick?"
June twitched. "No!" She said defensively.
"Yeah you are. How long now?"
She winced, removing her sunglasses, revealing bags underneath her eyes. "Only a day, but I'm not THAT sick." She coughed again, shuddering slightly.
"Chills?"
June nodded mutely. Bart then grabbed a blanket and put it over June's shoulders. Then he sat next to her and put his arm around her to help her get warm.
"Bart?"
"Yeah?"
"I don't think you should do that." Bart then looked at her.
"I don't care if your siblings try to kill me, you're sick and you need to get warm." He said as he looked her in the eye.
June just smiled. She never met a guy that ignored her brothers threats. Not even when she was younger, every guy didn't bother to speak to her again. Even Tim was terrified to come over when they were nine... But Bart was different, and she liked it.
June removed Bart's goggles, and tilted her head to the side slightly. "Hmmm... you know, you look a lot more like Wally than you look like Barry."
Bart raised an eyebrow. "If that's a compliment, then I say thanks."
June grinned. "And what if it's a insult?"
Bart smirked, shoving her playfully. "I dunno, I think if I look like my second cousin once removed, he must be a pretty good looking guy."
"Mmmm, I'm sure he is." June replied dryly, wrapping the blanket closer around her. "I hope you know my dad's probably plotting your 'mysterious' disappearance as we speak, watching through the camera."
"If I get to spend my last few seconds with you, it'd be worth it."
June then blushed. That was sweet of Bart. "Thanks." She said as she smiled. Bart then looked at her and smiled back.
"No problem, so I guess I should get you some soup right now so that's what I'm found to do right now." Bart said as he got up and headed for the door. He then left the room and went to go get June some soup.
He really didn't want a repeat of what happened last time. Bart zoomed in, got the can of soup and a bowl, and zipped right back in, locking the door so the Bats wouldn't try to kill him. June watched his with an amused look.
"Here," Bart lifted the lid and poured it into the bowl. June coughed again.
"Thanks, Bart," He grinned at her in return, sitting beside her.
"Bart, you really shouldn't be doing that,"
"I already told you, I don't care if your siblings kill me-"
"No, I mean I might get you sick."
"Oh well I don't really get sick much and plus I would only be sick for a couple hours." June gave him a weird look.
"I'm a speedster, remember?"
"Oh yeah! That's right I forgot." As June took a spoonful of her soup, there was a knock on the door. Bart got up and opened the door.
