Chapter 7: The Babysitters.
"Aw, come on, Mom and Dad!" Tommy begged, following Batman and Wonder Woman.
"We told you, Tommy. This mission is more than you can handle. You'll be much better if you stay home. In the meantime, we've hired some babysitters for you." Wonder Woman said as they entered the Batcave.
"Really? Who?" Tommy asked before the doorbell rang and he went to go get it. He opened the door and saw who he recognized as Zatanna, but two he didn't recognize. One was a woman with blonde hair and a hairband. The other woman he saw was one with orange hair and familiar-looking wings sticking out of her back.
"Hello there. Is your father home?" Zatanna asked.
"Yes, ma'am, he and Mom are in the Batcave." Tommy answered.
At that time, Batman and Wonder Woman were preparing to leave.
"Hey, Bruce, Diana!" called the blonde-haired woman.
The two heroes looked to see Tommy leading the three women over.
"Thanks for babysitting on such short notice." Wonder Woman said as they hopped into the Batjet.
"No problem." the orange-haired woman said.
"Tommy, behave for these three, okay? We'll be back in about three days." Batman said.
"All right. Love you guys." Tommy said before they started to liftoff.
"Love you, too, Tommy." Wonder Woman said before they flew out of the Batcave.
After they left the Batcave, Tommy turned to the three women and said, "I'm sure Dad's told you about me. I'm Tommy."
"Nice to meet you, Tommy. I'm…" Zatanna started.
"Excuse me, but I recognize you as Zatanna. But, I'm sorry. I don't recognize you two." Tommy said to the other two women as he shook Zatanna's hand.
The orange-haired woman smiled, "That's okay. I'm Shayera. I'm the hero known as Hawkgirl." she said as she shook his hand.
"I'm Kara Zor-El, AKA Superwoman." Kara said before she shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you." Tommy said.
"So, what do you want to do first?" Kara asked.
"Hmm, you guys like video games?" Tommy asked.
In about 5 minutes, the four of them were playing a 4-player match in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Tommy was Sonic, Kara was Samus, Shayera was Zelda, and Zatanna was Pikachu. Sonic knocked a recovering Zelda down with a spring, knocking her out and killing her last life.
"Aw, shoot!" Shayera said.
"I've got you, Sonic!" said Kara as Samus shot a laser blast, only for Sonic to dodge it, grab a Smash Ball, become Super Sonic, and flew around, knocking out both Samus and Zelda.
"Game over, girls! I'm the Super Smash Bros Ultimate champion of the world!" Tommy said before he started dancing around. Then, he noticed them giving him playful glares.
"Two out of three?" Tommy asked.
Later, after a game spree, they went to a nearby McDonald's for lunch and came back to Wayne Manor, where Tommy went down for a nap.
Later, after he woke up, Tommy walked up to Zatanna.
"Miss Zatanna?" he asked.
Zatanna smiled, "Yes?" she asked.
"Would you mind showing me some of your magic?" Tommy asked.
"No problem." Zatanna said before she waved her hand and levitated him onto the couch. She then put her hat on a nearby table and said, "One...two...three!" as she tapped it with a magic wand and reached into it before pulling out a Pikachu figure.
"Awesome!" Tommy said as Zatanna handed him the Pikachu.
"You think that's cool, wait until you see this!" Zatanna said before she waved her wand and said, "Abracadabra, wallacornai, make Shayera appear before our eyes!"
She then shot her wand at the floor and out of a purple cloud of smoke, Shayera appeared.
"Ta-Da!" Shayera said.
Tommy clapped, "Crazy awesome!" he said.
Later, Superwoman had Chiroptera under her arms as she flew around Gotham City.
"Wow! This is unbearably cool!" Chiroptera said as Superwoman did a few spins in mid-air.
"Thought you'd find this fun!" Superwoman said.
Some time after, Chiroptera accompanied Hawkgirl as she went to chase after some robbers. Once they caught up, Hawkgirl slammed her mace on the engine, damaging it beyond repair. Once the robbers started shooting, Hawkgirl flew out of the way while Tommy used the bullet-dodging training he had done with Batman. They managed to defeat the thugs, with Hawkgirl even taking Chiroptera for ice cream.
Later that evening, Tommy sat in his bedroom, waiting to go to bed, when the three babysitters came in.
"Hey, Tommy, you going to bed?" Zatanna asked.
"Yeah, you guys were really cool today. You're like the cool aunts I never had." Tommy said.
The three women looked surprised at that before they smiled widely.
"Is it all right if I call you guys my aunts?" Tommy asked.
Kara, Zatanna, and Shayera smiled as they walked over and picked up the young boy in a group hug.
"Sure is." Kara said.
"We'd be honored." Shayera said.
"Very honored." Zatanna said.
The three women then tucked Tommy into bed and sat by his bed until he fell asleep.
Over the next two days, the three women bonded with Tommy some more, to the point he started saying Aunt before their names.
Once Batman and Wonder Woman returned, Tommy rushed into the Batcave and gave his dad a high-five and his mom a hug.
"Hi, Tommy! Did you behave?" Wonder Woman asked.
"He sure did." Kara said.
"Thanks for watching him." Batman said.
"Can they babysit me again next time?" Tommy asked.
"We'll see." Diana said.
As the three were leaving, Tommy ran up to them for another group hug.
"See you later, Aunts Kara, Zatanna, and Shayera." he said.
"See you, nephew." Kara said before Diana walked up to Shayera.
"Shayera, Tommy explained to me about how he's accepted you as an aunt, so I figured we should, as they say, bury the hatchet concerning the Thanagarian invasion. Sorry for my bitterness towards you." Diana said.
"Apology accepted, Diana." Shayera said as the two women shook hands with a smile.
