Artemis Switched the arm switched the arm she was carrying Robin in again. She didn't want to wake him, but her arms were getting tired of holding him. Luckily, Robin started to wake up.
"Hey buddy. Did you have a good nap?" Artemis asked quietly. He nodded as he rubbed his eyes under his shades.
"Wally, can you hold Rob? My arms are getting tired." Wally passed the bags from the toy store and the messenger bag off to Conner as he picked Rob out of Artemis' arms.
"So where do you wanna go Rob?" Wally grabbed a map he got from a kiosk out of his pocket. Robin looked down the list of stores and looked at the map of the mall.
"Dat one." Robin pointed to the Lego store.
"You really like legos, don't ya?" Wally joked as he shook his head closer to Rob's.
Once they were inside the store, Rob almost jumped out of Wally's arms to go look at the lego stations. Wally set Rob down and he went off like a bullet. He started building with the legos until he saw a box for a racecar set of legos. He stopped staring when he remembered that he already got toys today. Wally walked over and grabbed the set Robin was staring at.
"Wanna get this set?" Wally handed it towards Robin. He just shook his head and continued playing, glancing back at the box.
"I know you want it. Just say it and we'll get it."
"But, but I already got toys." Dick pointed out. Wally chuckled at the boy.
"You can get as many toys as you want. I don't care if we have to carry the entire mall home. If you want this lego set, I'm getting it. Do you want it?"
Robin slowly smiled and nodded. Wally went up to the cash register while Robin continued to play at the station. Once Wally came, Robin grabbed his hand and walked out of the store.
"So, where to next?" Wally asked the toddler.
There was no response. Rob just stared at the store across from the Lego shop. It was the Disney store, and they were playing cars in the back of the store. The team walked out of the store and headed to the next shop. Inside was a mix of all the different parts of Disney. There were dolls of stars from the shows; Princess dresses from the movies, and action figures and stuffed toys from Pixar.
Robin looked at the Finding Nemo bath toys, and then the Cars racetrack and at all the movies stacked around. He walked around and saw M'gann and Artemis giggling at the toys that were over the top Disney.
"Robin, come here!" M'gann motioned for Rob to come see what they were looking at. When he looked at what they were looking at, he saw a Winnie the Pooh Bear that sang and laughed when you squeezed his stomach. Robin gasped and grabbed at the bear. He giggled when he squeezed the bear and it laughed and sang. Robin kept running around the store, looking at all the different toys from his favorite movies. He grabbed the Nemo bath toys and 'A Bugs Life' DVD and went over to Wally, his eyes asking if he could have it all. Wally smiled as he bought the bear, the bath toys, and the movie. He knew the kid wasn't done yet, but he knew there was going to be a lot more toys he would be charging on the credit cards.
…
When Robin was finally done looking at all the toys, he had gotten three more movies, a Buzz Light year toy, a Simba stuffed animal, a Wall E and an Eve toy set, and a Robin Hood action figure. Robin tried to walk and keep up with everyone as they walked towards the exit of the store, but his legs were too tired. Wally looked back to see Robin taking a seat on the ground of the store.
"Robin, what's wrong?" He knelt down by the child as Robin huffed.
"My legs are too tired." Wally would pick him up, but he was holding some of the bags from their shopping spree. Wally looked around and saw the perfect thing for the situation.
"Stay right here. I'll be right back." Wally walked away as the team came back in by Robin. A minute or two later, Wally walked back over, with a newly bought Cars stroller.
"Hop in Rob." Wally patted the seat as the boy got off the ground and sat back in the stroller, smiling at how comfortable it was and how nice it was to relax in it.
"Wait, something's missing from this adorable picture." Artemis looked towards Kaldur who handed her a bag. She reached in and pulled out the Robin stuffed animal, handing it to the excited three year old. She pulled out the camera and snapped a photo of Robin hugging the doll. She stuffed the now empty bag in the small compartment under the stroller and they kept walking.
"Can we stop and get ice cream? My arms are getting tired." M'gann asked the team and pointed to the little ice cream shop. Everyone needed a break to relax for a minute, so they all bought ice cream and sat in a sitting area by the stairs. After finishing the ice cream in under a minute, Wally looked over to see Robin covered in chocolate ice cream.
Wally laughed as Rob tried licking the ice cream off his nose, cheeks, and forehead. "You even got it in your hair! How did you get it on your neck too?" Wally wheeled the stroller back to the ice cream shop to get some napkins. As soon as the cashier saw Rob, he grabbed a stack of dry napkins and grabbed some napkins that he dampened. Wally thanked him and wheeled him right outside the shop and started wiping his face. Robin soon started squirming and trying to get out of the stroller.
"Sit still. I just gotta finish hosing you down." Wally tried to keep cleaning the boy's face but he wouldn't stop moving and dancing around in the stroller.
"Wally I got-" Robin tried to say but Wally kept him in the stroller.
"Just hold on Rob. I've only finished your cheeks and your nose. I still have a lot more to finish." Wally didn't stop wiping the mess off Robin. But Robin was really trying to get now.
"Wally I really need-" Robin was cut off again as Wally moved on to his neck.
"Just a little more buddy, and then you can get out of the stroller and do whateve-"
"Wally!" Robin cried as he kept squirming and dancing.
"What?" Wally asked.
"I gotta go!" Robin whimpered. He looked like he was ready to cry.
"Oh!" Wally grabbed the boy up, leaving the stroller and rushed him to the closest bathroom he could find. Wally went into the bigger stall just in case Robin needed his help. He set the boy down and locked the door. Robin was trying to undo the button on his pants but he couldn't get it.
Wally turned to see Robin looking down.
"What's wrong?" Wally knelt down and saw the button to his pants still done. It clicked in Wally's head that he couldn't get the button and he didn't make it in time. Robin sniffled as a tear fell down his face. "It's okay buddy. Accidents happen. I'm sorry I didn't listen earlier." Wally brushed the tear off the toddler's face.
He picked the boy up and sat him on the changing table. Wally was glad he decided to hold the messenger bag. He rummaged through the bag and pulled out a fresh pull-up.
Once Rob was changed, Wally held Rob's hand as they walked out to get the stroller. They were greeted by the team standing by the bathroom.
"What happened?" M'gann asked. "We just saw you sprinting in."
Robin shifted uncomfortably as he answered. "I, um, had a, a, um assident."
Artemis and M'gann picked him up and hugged him. "It's all right sweetie, it could have happened to anyone." They kept cuddling the small boy until Artemis grabbed the map from Wally.
"How about you choose another shop to go to. We'll do one more before we go to dinner."
"Dinner?" Kaldur asked. "What time do we have to be back at the base?"
"I'll call Bats and ask." Wally walked off dialing the number. Rob looked down at the map. Most of the shops were for adults, and they had already visited almost every kid store. Almost.
"This one!" Robin pointed to the store.
"A kid's sport shop? Perfect!" The girls hugged him again, making sure he felt better about the accident. Wally walked back holding the stroller.
"Batman isn't going to be back until late, so we can do dinner and we'll still have time before he has to go home." Wally explained. "So there's really a sport shop for kids?"
The team just walked in the direction of the shop. The store had little bikes and skateboards and all different sports and games. Robin ran around the store, trying the different bikes and scooters. Robin picked up a plastic bat while Artemis picked up a ball and tossed it lightly to him. He hit it and he started running to imaginary bases. Artemis grabbed the ball and when Robin made it to home plate she scooped him up.
He stopped running around when he saw the basketball and the hoop. He picked up the ball and dribbled around and shot. It swished in and he jumped up in excitement. Kaldur saw the boy shooting and he started playing with him, letting the boy dribble past him and shoot the ball in. Kaldur put the boy on his shoulders and took him around the store to show off his victory. After a while, Wally said it was time to go.
"One more!" Robin shot and the ball bounced in. Wally grabbed the ball and tossed it back to Rob.
"Tell you what. If you make it, we'll buy a basket ball net." Robin focused on the rim and shot. The ball bounced off and bounced to the ground. Robin pouted as he walked over to Wally.
"Looks like we'll have to get it anyway so you can practice that shot." Robin bounced around in excitement.
The team walked over as Wally paid for the basketball net. "Are you sure about buying him this? Won't Batman be mad?" Artemis asked.
"I overheard you guys talk about the sport shop and The Bat said to buy something Rob wanted from here."
"Why?" Conner asked. Wally sighed.
"Batman talked to that scientist, and so far, it doesn't look like he'll find a cure for Robin for a while." Wally looked over to make sure Robin was still playing while he had said what Batman had told him. The cashier came back from the back of the store holding the box for the net. Wally thanked him before grabbing the kid in the stroller and wheeling out to the ship.
"Where are we getting dinner?" Robin asked as everyone put the bags down in the ship.
"We're going to Chuck E Cheese's."
