I'm pretty sure this is how not to behave at a Japanese bathhouse.

Belated birthday present for A045 and a peace offering for 4shur4. Hope you enjoy.

Tension eased out of Robin's muscles as he sank his body slowly into the steaming water. They had to have added some medicinal herbs or something to the water to make it this soothing. The props of having a billionaire for a father.

Riddler was on another rampage in Gotham after leaving Belle Reve. His victims this time: An mental asylum. Maybe it was because of that time Zee turned his clothes into a straight jacket. He wouldn't tell her that though, she wouldn't forgive herself if she even thought she was the reason a lot of people got hurt.

They defeated Riddler, saved the people, and all without the League's help. As a congratulations for being able to do it themselves without the League having to jump in, Batman gave them a three day break in Japan. All expenses paid. Another perk of having a billionaire for a father and a boss.

His little world of peace was interrupted by a splash on his right. He shielded his eyes from the ricochets of hot water coming his way. "Argh! Wally!"

Now hopefully Wally won't get them kicked out.

"I don't think you are supposed to jump in." Kaldur was calmer when he lowered himself into the water, and though Conner wasn't gentle he didn't freaking cannonball like Wally did; he more or less just dropped in. Leave it to Wally to break almost every single rule within their first hour there.

"Who cares. It's not like they have cameras in here," Wally nonchalantly said as he leaned back in the giant tub with his elbows resting on the rim.

"Kid, the rules are there so you won't get hurt. What would've happened if you had hurt your leg with that landing."

"You might as well quit trying, Kaldur. Nothing helpful ever gets through that thick skull of his."

"Hey! Who was the one who figured out the countermeasure for the chemical virus Riddler gassed that mental hospital with?"

"After I solved the riddle that revealed its location, but I'll give you a kudos. That was one of your very few wins."

"Few! You can't talk about wins when you still haven't asked out Zatanna!" If Robin would've had a drink at that moment, he would've spit it out.

"How the hell do you go from mission wins to me asking out Zatanna!"

"Everyone knows you like her, dude. Why don't you just ask her out already?"

"Aren't we supposed to be here trying to relax." He sank further down into the water, wanting to just forget and leave this whole conversation alone and just enjoy the rest of the time soaking in the water. He'd be fine losing the argument if that meant Wally would drop it.

"Now you're trying to change the subject!"

"Hey, keep your voice down. The girls are on the other side and these walls are paper thin. If Robin doesn't want to admit his feelings to Zatanna, that's his decision," Kaldur hissed. Robin sighed in relief. Thank god there was at least one level headed person in this bath. But has everyone already just decided that he likes Zatanna and that's that?

"Hey, the girls are on the other side of this wall, huh…" There was obvious mischief in his voice., and while he wasn't above causing mischief with the speedster, something told him this instance would work against him.

"What would happen if we, accidently, caught a peek?"

…

Why is he such an idiot?

"No."

"Why? I've already seen M'gann naked," Conner answered.

…

…

"Dude…" Wally was flabbergasted. Robin thinks they all were.

Remind him to be careful of where he sits at the Cave from now on.

Wally started nudging him in his side, having gotten over the mind blast Conner just gave them. "Just a small trip. They wouldn't even know we looked."

"Are your hormones acting up or something?"

"Dude!"

"Wally, that is both suicidal and stupid."

"Artemis is going to kill you."

"I'm going to do it." Wally pushed himself out of the water and wrapped his towel around his waist.

"You're going to crash and burn." Robin gave one last comment before lounging back in the long bath, readying himself for the screams that were definitely going to be yelled soon.

A few minutes later

Zatanna entered the lounge area to a show. She spotted Robin standing off to the side in one of the hotel's plush robes, drinking a bottle of fruit milk as he leaned against the mini bar and watched the show himself. There was another bottle on the small counter. She walked over to him, securing her robe tighter around her form. He pushed the bottle towards her.

"Why is Artemis chasing Wally around?" She uncapped the bottle of fruit milk and turned it up to her mouth, taking long sips.

"He had a stupid idea."

"Ah, and Kaldur and Conner are still in the bath?"

"Kaldur is. I think Conner went to visit M'gann."

"I guess she'll be busy for a while then." After she finished, she disposed of the bottle in the nearby waste basket.

"And so is Wally. I don't think she's going to stop until that bottle is wedged up somewhere harmful."

"So that means the massage chairs are free?"

"Knock yourself out."

"Thank you. Oh and," His recent growth spurt put him a little taller than her now. She leaned a little forward on her toes to reach his ear, "you could've peeked too if you wanted. I wouldn't have minded."

She sauntered over to the massage chairs and Robin was left feeling a little bit hotter under the collar.
