I don't own YJ! If I did, then it wouldn't have been canceled. *coughs and glares pointedly at Cartoon Network*
Warning, this entire bit is crack
Robin cackled and cartwheeled into the living room, declaring his entrance.
Wally mockingly scowled. "Dude! Try and enter a room like a normal person for once!"
"No can do, KF," Robin cheekily replied, saluting anyways. "Where'd Zee, Kaldur, and Rocket go?"
"Girls day out," Artemis called from lounging lazily on the couch. "If you're wondering, I didn't feel like going and M'gann would rather be here with Conner 'fixing the bikes'. Kaldur's swimming. Why?"
"Oh, nothing," Robin nonchalantly dismissed. "Just a Hunger Games simulator I found online." He pulled up the site on his holo-computer.
Both archer and speedster were up in a second, super speed or not. They crowded around the glowing blue screen. Identical smirks were growing on the trio's faces.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Wally rhetorically asked.
Artemis grinned. "If you're thinking that we should input Team and Justice League members in here, then yes, we're thinking the same thing."
"Great!" Robin gave a thumbs up with his free hand. "'Cause I've already input the names."
"No way!"
"Lemme see!"
They wrestled with each other to see what Robin put in there. "What if Batman dies by tripping or something equally stupid?" Artemis realized, snickering to herself.
"Why'd you think I put him in there?" Robin wryly commented.
"C'mon, c'mon! Let the Hunger Games begin already!" Wally whined, jumping impatiently.
Dramatically, Robin's finger hovered over the button that would begin the simulator. "Geez, calm down Wally. And…" he paused, "...may the odds be ever in your favor." He pressed down on the button.
The three of them scanned the information spread on the screen. "Oh man!" Wally gasped, laughing too hard to breathe. "You and Green Arrow - ha!"
The screen read, Robin and Green Arrow threaten a double suicide. It fails and they die.
"No, look!" Artemis exclaimed, also out of breath, pointing to a line a below it.
Batman, Superman, and Miss Martian get into a fight. Miss Martian triumphantly kills them both.
"Oh, ha ha," Robin muttered darkly. He nudged Wally's shoulder. "Your mentor's a wimp."
Wonder Woman and Flash fight for a bag. Flash gives up and retreats.
"Are you serious? Losing to Wonder Woman without her killing me would be an honor," Wally sighed, fantasizing.
Artemis tugged his ear, making him yelp. "No hormones allowed! We have a kid with us!"
In spite of Robin's protests that he was not a kid, he was thirteen, thank you very much, he clicked proceed. The three groaned simultaneously.
"No deaths," Robin announced, downtrodden. He continued regardless. To his surprise, it showed the fallen, leading to Artemis and Wally bursting out in laughter again at how Robin, Batman, and Superman all died. He considered giving both of them a black eye.
The Boy Wonder sighed and resumed the simulator. He read the third line first, suddenly wishing he hadn't. To his sides, Wally and Artemis sucked in a breath, notifying him that they saw it too.
Black Canary convinces Aquaman to snuggle with her.
"Ew, mental images," Artemis whispered, and both of the senior heroes - by field experience, of course. Artemis was never going to let Robin live down being that much younger than her - were inclined to agree.
"Well!" Robin announced, his faux cheer slowly turning into genuine mirth. "Both Flash and Kid Flash were idiots and lost their fights! Still survived, but whatever."
Wally turned to give Robin the stink eye. "Double suicide with Green Arrow."
"We will never speak of either incident again."
Meanwhile, Artemis pressed the button to simulate the next set of situations. "Aaaaaaand Flash died!" she declared. "Oh, look at this, Kid Flash's camp was raided!"
"Are you fricking serious?!" Wally complained. "Worst luck!"
"Think about that statement very carefully, KF," Robin warned, cracking his knuckles. The simulation carried on, showing fallen tributes.
"Wait, Zee died?!" He went back a few pages. In bold, it said Zatanna had died trying to escape the arena, directly above the Black Canary and Aquaman snuggling bit. Robin flushed and returned to the page they were at.
"Someone's a bad boyfriend!" Wally crowed.
Artemis jabbed him in the ribs. "Not like you're much better."
"I detest that statement! It's absolutely false, I'm an amazing boyfriend."
The two normal humans of the Team looked at each other and scoffed. "Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night," Robin said, disbelieving. He clicked the 'proceed' button.
The trio instantly blocked the vision. "I need brain bleach!" Robin moaned.
Martian Manhunter convinces Wonder Woman to snuggle with him. And of course, above that was, Superboy and Red Tornado huddle for warmth, though the 'huddle' was initially mistaken for 'cuddle.'
"Um-uh-hmm, Artemisdied," Wally spilled out in a rush, pointedly keeping his line of sight away from the top of the screen.
"Hehe, yeah, WAIT WHAT?!" Artemis shrieked. "No way Baywatch is the last of us three!" Robin also quietly cursed to himself.
Wally huffed. "No one believed in me? I'm offended."
"Yeah well, Artemis would handle herself better in this situation," Robin defended.
Proceeding with the sim for the next fifteen minutes, they finally arrived at the end. Red Tornado won, leaving them all gaping.
"I begged to die?!" Wally whined.
"We've been hearing you talk about this for the past two minutes," Robin snapped. "I find it more ironic that Aquaman drowned."
"And wow, Red Tornado is a savage," Artemis commented, with the sentences of Red Tornado slicing off people's heads and drowning them, finally having to spear Hawkwoman in the abdomen.
They moved on to the statistics. "Holy crap, Uncle Hal has eight kills!" Wally exclaimed as Robin and Artemis stared at the screen, dumbfounded.
"Why am I placed last?" Robin wailed. "Green Arrow, Superman, and Batman died the same time I did!"
"He got fifth," Artemis seethed. "Wally got fifth."
The archer and acrobat turned to the speedster, manic grins on their faces. "Uh…" Wally gulped. "I gotta run…"
"Run and run as fast as you can, we'll always find you, we have Batman," Robin promised ominously.
A slightly-less-than-murderous glint in both of their eyes, Robin and Artemis nodded to each other.
"We're coming for you!" Artemis yelled.
A scream could be heard in the distance. Robin and Artemis took off, vowing to torture the speedster.
(Of course, torture in two very different ways. Artemis, being more violently minded, decided to bruise a few of his ribs, but Robin just wanted to tie him up for a few hours and tantalizingly eat Agent A's cookies in front of him. Later, they would decide to do both, much to Wally's horror.)
Yup. Crack. I told you so. Fun fact, the situations that popped up are what actually happened in the simulation I did.
You know, I was reading through my past chapters and started banging my head on the table. They were awful. Ugh. Add that to my writer's block, and you have a very unhappy me.
Ah well. At least I got this out. Gosh, I hate writer's block.
