Well, sorry for the wait, but here is the update. After much deliberation, the pairings were decided and the story has something resembling a plot now.

In the male bathroom of the prototype Javelin spacecraft, Dick Grayson, adopted heir to the Wayne fortune, was making the transformation into the preteen crime fighter apprentice known as the Robin

In the male bathroom of the prototype Javelin spacecraft, Dick Grayson, adopted heir to the Wayne fortune, was making the transformation into the preteen crime fighting apprentice known as Robin. As he pulled on his various gadgets, he thought about the recent proliferation of younger superheroes. Ever since he had begun to moonlight as the Batman's sidekick about a year ago, other superheroes had begun to take on their own wards, apprentices, and companions. Although technically Batgirl had been crime fighting longer than he had, she had worked more like a freelancer than a partner. In fact, Robin had essentially invented the role of the sidekick.

Dick Grayson's Encyclopedia:

-Sidekick (n.)

-A young companion who provides one or all of the following things: backup, cover, information, and/or one-liners.

Robin provided all of these things very well, though he thought his jokes might need some work. (He was running out of situations in which he could say "Holy , batman he got away")

However, the appearance of more kids in the superhero business was not always good. Take Wally for instance. Wally West was the young apprentice to Flash. Like the older Flash, he had an extremely large metabolism, a razor sharp wit, and a suave demeanor that just rubbed Robin the wrong way.

As he exited the bathroom, tugging his left glove on as best he could, he began to walk (appreciating the artificial gravity generators that allowed him to walk instead of float) down to the cockpit.

Barbara was, of course, already there. She consistently defied stereotypes by managing to get suited up faster than anyone else. And she never let Robin forget it.

"So are you exited?" said Robin in a playfully sarcastic tone as he walked towards his chair on the main deck. "I know it's your first time in space, but trust me you get used to the nausea and vomiting quickly."

"If that's so, why did I see you downing those motion sickness pills before we took off?"

He leaned back in his chair and broke out his fake British accent. "Touché. Shall we go again?"

"Save the witty banter for later," said their boss as he walked out towards his station. "You're going to need it. From what I've heard, many of the other league members have brought their sidekicks for this meeting."

"Including Wally?" asked Batgirl with suspicious enthusiasm.

"Why?! What does it matter to you?" asked Robin suspiciously.

"It's nothing. I mean, I'm just asking."

"Yes, I think Wally will be there." said the Batman dismissively. "Now Barbara, you have a meeting with the rest of the league at 15:30. It will be to discuss the applications of new security features in the tower using your new biorhythmic software."

"What! You dragged me all the way out into space just to do tech support? I just did the exact same thing for that Japanese company and now you want me to do it for superheroes?"

"You know, I hear Wally thinks computer programming is quite sexy." Mentioned Robin with an impertinent grin plastered on his face.

Flustered and embarrassed, a meager "Whatever" was the best comeback she could think of as she flopped back down in her chair. "Just don't expect me to set you up with Donna Troy again."

"I thought we agreed never to speak of that again!" said Robin quickly as he jumped up out of his chair with an accusing finger pointed at Batgirl.

"Will you both please sit down!" said the Batman, an unmistakable tone of malice lingering in the air.

"Now we are about to dock, so Robin, you get to handle the rear stabilizers, and Batgirl, you ready the docking equipment."

"Aye, aye, Cap'n." said Barbara with less enthusiasm than Alfred on laundry day.

The Javelin slowly edged closer and closer to the enormous floating space station…

Oooh, cliffhanger. So tell me, what do you think of the pairings? What do you think of the story? Why am I unable to stop asking questions? When will this A/N end? Why havn't you pushed the button yet?

(no seriously, why cant I stop asking questions?)
