Ch.62: It Began With Photoshop
Wally scrolled through the photos on his phone, lying on the couch in the common room of the Watchtower. He was deciding which one he should use for his new Photoshop app. The only reason he decided to get it was because he was bored, as crime was slow in Central City.
After a few more swipes of the screen, Flash came across the Bat-Family picture with all the Bats wearing smirks. The speedster had taken the photo of the photo way back when he got his grubby hands on the album.
Flash shrugged and selected the photo to play with. He enjoyed turning the picture into so many weird things, playing with the picture multiple times and saving quite a few of the edits.
The one he was most proud of was the one where he simply put the words "You Can Try Crime, But We Wouldn't Recommend It".
Cackling to himself, the ginger brought up the options for sending. With his mind only halfway in reality and the other half coming up with comebacks his fiancé would reply with, he didn't realize he was accidently posting the picture to Facebook under his Flash account (every hero had one, except Batman).
He only noticed what he was doing after he hit the 'post' button.
He face-palmed and began mentally setting up a bunker when he saw a bunch of likes and comments flooding in from thousands of followers. He wondered how long it would take for the Bat to find out, track him down to his safe house, and kill him. Probably not long, if he knew the Dark Knight… And he did so…
All across the world, the picture of the Bat-Family was shared to a whole bunch of different people until it was very unlikely not one single person on the planet hadn't seen it. It was so popular that various news stations showed it on air, discussing the topic of the picture the Flash had posted.
Dick strode up to his adopted father with a beaming smile. The Dark Knight was currently working on a new case and, when he got in that mood, he lacked enough decency that he didn't even bother to acknowledge the existence of everyone, even Danny.
The Ghost Boy peeked his head out from where he was hiding within his father's cape (Bats literally ignores everyone, even when they're in his cape). The child brightened upon seeing his older brother. "Hi Dickie!"
The cop beamed and ruffled his brother's hair. "Hey Rae-Rae! Enjoying Batsy's company!"
"I'm enjoying his cape. He hasn't said a word." Danny said plainly, gesturing to his father. Dick snorted. "Frankly, that doesn't surprise me."
Danny laughed before quieting again. "I'm going to sleep! Night night!"
Before Dick could say a word, Danny dove back into the recesses of Batman's cape, curled up, and closed his eyes.
Dick looked in and promptly took a picture with his phone, mentally cooing over his baby brother. Then he began pestering the oldest Bat.
"Bats… Hey Bats... Batman. Dark Knight! Caped Crusader! BATMAN! COME ON! LISTEN TO ME!"
Batman ignored his oldest ward and began typing at the keyboard incessantly.
Dick simmered before mumbled "Gordon's got the spotlight going…"
"Are you serious or trying to get my attention?"
Dick didn't even bother to answer and shoved his phone in Batman's face. "Look at the picture Wally posted! It's been getting a ton of views!"
The Dark Knight glanced at it before going back to typing. "The guards at Arkham already showed me awhile back."
Dick growled. "Those killjoys! Oh sweet mercy, I sound like the nuts in that place now…"
Batman waved him off, knowing it was perfectly natural to sound like the Arkham residents. "The 'killjoys' showed me it before they began printing copies and taping them to the walls."
"And you're ok with that?" Dick asked confused, about to ask his mentor what he had done to the real Batman and where he had hid him.
"The inmates have been very quiet since the picture went up." Batman commented.
Dick went quiet for a few minutes before giggling. Which turned into chuckles. Which turned into full blown laughing. The cop rolled around on the ground, clutching his sides, tears streaming down his face.
Danny peeked his head out from his father's cape and watched Dick. He shook his tiny head. "Did Dickie get hit with laughing gas again?"
"No Danny. He's just got a few loose screws in his head." Batman answered, completely serious. Danny sighed. "That's so sad…"

Kadzait: Long story short on why this was late: Dog got fleas, flea guy came today, went out for three hours, went home, did school, has a friend over, and then this. Woo...
Ze idea above was given to me by one of my many guest reviewers (really wish they put a name of some sort) from Ch.27.
I'd also like to say I send stuff to wrong places ALL THE TIME because I'm only half thinking about it. I also plan conversations (even though they never go as planned) all the time so...XD

BringbackDannyPhantom: Speaking of scrapbooks... Wally, why you messing with pics in the Bat-Family photo album?! XD
Lexosaurus: YEP! Blame evil-Jack for that! XD Glad you think my grandmother is awesome but... Where did that come from? And Brain is someone else's villain, just can't remember who! I think he's Flash's... Anywho, the Brain is basically an over-glorified brain in a pickle jar. XD
