A/N: I am SO sorry for not updating for so long! I've been having a bunch of chores and homework just dumped on me and it sucks but I finally got some time. Now here's the chapter and sorry that it's a late Thanksgiving chapter!
Young Justice Ch9: Thanksgiving
Third Person's P.O.V.
It was Thanksgiving or like some people call it, Turkey Day. Seeing as some people in the Team's family members that they didn't live with didn't know about the hero gig, the mentors decided to have the Team's family members who knew about the hero gig come to Wayne Manor. Of course Dick was super excited that everybody was coming since he loved meeting new people. Alfred, Diana, Dinah, Paula, Iris, Mary, Joan Garrick (A/N: Wife of the First Flash just to let you know), and Shayera were in the kitchen making the food while the others walked around and talked about how their lives were going and being introduced. The kids were going around and Zatanna and Dick were still in their hiding place; the Batcave. When the women first came they cooed over the small babies but when the women were called into the kitchen to help by Bruce, the two snuck off. Bruce had been looking for the two babies but didn't think Dick would remember the Batcave. Damian decided to check just in case and he didn't want the two getting hurt since there was a lot of dangerous equipment down there. He may have despised the little troll but it was still his brother.
Down in the Batcave…
Dick and Zatanna were going through the dull and not so dangerous Batarangs sitting in a metal box with a sign that said, 'Needs to be sharpened'. The babies saw them as shiny objects and loved to play with them. Dick heard somebody coming down in the elevator.
"We need to hide," Dick said," Tis way."
Zatanna quickly followed Dick to the locker room and into an unlocked bottom locker; Jason's.
"Ew!" Zatanna said and wrinkled her nose.
Dick put his finger to Zatanna's lips to silence her. They waited with the locker cracked open so they could get out once the person left. A couple minutes later, two legs appeared in front of the locker and stood there silently. Of course the two kids didn't know it was Damian and not some stranger and sat there, silently, on top of a pair of dirty workout clothes. Damian used his foot to close the locker all the way and starting walking out of the locker room and to the elevator. Once he left, Zatanna said a small spell and the two babies ended up upstairs in Hal's lap.
"Ah!" Hal yelped and jumped up in the air.
Before Dick and Zatanna hit the floor, Barry caught them with his super speed.
"Are they okay?" Diana asked first as everybody in the room crowded around.
"Yeah, but I think somebody needs to change their diapers," Barry said, holding them out at arm's length.
"We'll go change them," Diana said to Bruce and grabbed Zatanna.
Bruce grabbed Dick and they headed to Dick's room.
"We really need to get bat-proof and magic-proof baby leashes," Diana said.
"I could probably get some," Bruce said.
"That would make it so much easier and we would have more free time," Diana said.
They finished changing the diapers and headed back downstairs to see food being set up on the very long dining table. The kids had seats in between their mentors and/or parents since they were so young.
"Now who will say grace?" Alfred asked.
"I will," Clark said and stood up.
Everybody grabbed hands with the person they were next to and bowed their heads.
"Lord, we are very thankful for the food we have right now and that everybody at this table is okay, especially the kids; we don't know what we'd do without them. Amen."
Everybody said 'Amen' and Clark sat back down. Platters of food were passed around the table and people scooped out their servings. Barry had to keep Wally from eating food from his plate until he got all he wanted and when Wally did get all his food, he didn't use utensils and became a mess like Dick and Zatanna. Bruce and Diana tried to get them to use a utensil but they just set it by their plates and continued eating. Alfred let Dick and Zatanna slide since they were babies, but made Wally use a fork. Ollie was sitting right across from Dick just enjoying his food when he got a small handful of mashed potatoes to the face. He wiped them away to see a giggling Dick. Ollie would ignore it knowing he would get the wrath of everybody in the room for messing with the youngest and continued eating his yams. Dick scowled for not getting Ollie angry but forgot all about it when Bruce stuck a spoon with mashed yams in front of his mouth. Dick had despised yams for a long time and would never eat them.
"C'mon Dick, it's just yams," Bruce said but Dick kept his mouth firmly closed," You are so stubborn."
Bruce got an idea since he had seen Dick through the potatoes in Ollie's face. He kicked Ollie in the shin and it made him yelp which made Dick laugh. Bruce quickly shoved the spoon into Dick's mouth and closed it shut with his hand. Dick tried to pry the large hand with his small ones to spit out the disgusting vegetable (A/N: I don't know if a yam is a fruit or vegetable but I'll go with vegetable). Dick glared at Bruce and then screamed but it was muffled by Bruce's hand.
"Bruce just let the poor kid spit it out," Hal said," if you don't I'll have John (Martian Manhunter) pull it off."
Bruce leaned over and whispered into Dick's ear,
"I'll let you have extra cookies."
"You know bribing him isn't good Bruce," Clark said
Dick swallowed the small bite of yam and grinned up at the playboy millionaire.
"Do I get cokies?" Dick asked and it made everybody coo.
"Yes after you eat the rest of the potatoes," Bruce said and Dick quickly shoved down the rest of his mashed potatoes.
The rest of dinner and dessert passed by quickly and soon the adults were sitting around with sleeping children. Diana was holding Dick and Bruce was holding Zatanna and to him it felt a little weird.
"You better get used to her being around Bruce. You know her and Dick are going to get married one day," Dinah said and smirked.
"Those two are inseperatable like Megan and Conner," Iris said.
"They're like me and Joan when we were their age," Jay (A/N: The First Flash) said and chuckled.
"Yep, two trouble makers. And then Artemis and Wally are like Barry and Iris when they first met," Joan said.
"If that boy ever hurts my daughter, Barry, Rudy, I'm coming to you first," Paula threatened.
"Wally would never hurt her Paula. He loves her too much," Barry said.
"Now for Conner and Megan. We know they will not hurt each other," John said.
"And Clark, you need to act like more of a father towards Conner. He says he feels rejected by you," Dinah said.
"I just don't know how I should act towards him and I was just so surprised by another Kryptonian when I was tolled all my life that there was no others living," Clark said.
"Well, now is your chance to make it all up. Spend time with him like take him to your apartment for the weekend and take him to the farm and meet your Ma and Pa," Dinah said.
"I will and thanks. Can I hold him?" Clark asked, looking at the sleeping Conner in Dinah's arms.
She nodded and handed him off to Clark. Conner instantly gripped onto Clark's shirt and it surprised Clark. Clark recognized in that instant that the boy needed his father and not be rejected.
A/N: Sorry if it was a crappy ending. I've already got the idea for the next chapter and I'm gonna start typing it up so please review but no meanie reviews. I don't like those.
