I don't even know why, but I had that episode of Castle stuck in my head when writing this.

"Remind me why I keep getting paired with you?" Batman said irritably through chattering teeth as he continued working to get the door open.

"Because you won't let me lead any team." Wally replied equally irritated.

"Well if stuff like this stopped happening on missions you're on, you can start leading."

Batman said indicating the freezer container they were currently stuck in. He sighed putting the tools aside. "This door isn't opening and I can't even blow out the wall, because we'd be too close to the blast. Can you vibrate through?"

"No. Same problem as the explosives, the wall will explode and you'll be caught in the crossfire. It's not like I can vibrate you through the wall. Well I could but you wouldn't survive it."

Batman wrapped his cape around himself and sat down in the corner. "Then we're stuck until the League can get us." He stiffly reached up and activated his comm. "Batman to Terrific, ETA on back up?"

"Can't – you Bat – team – there- six –" The reply crackled.

"And we can't reach them." Batman's voice was softer than Wally was used to hearing.

"Bats you doing okay?"

"Peachy." The snarky reply came as Batman glared at him.

Wally could see his lips starting to turn blue. He moved closer to the older man. "No you're not. We've been in here for fifteen minutes and we've another six to go. At least I hope Terrific was saying minutes not hours."

He tried wrapping his arms around Batman, who immediately started pushing him away. It was hard to do anyway since the man was so much larger than him. "Wally, I'm fine. You've been in here just as long and you're the same. Leave me alone."

"You just used my name, Bats, plus I've been keeping myself warm since we got in here. Just let me be your heater." Wally crouched down beside Batman again.

Bruce grumbled but grabbed Wally and wrapped his arm around him as Wally settled between his legs. Wally smiled and started vibrating a little more to generate extra heat for his friend.

"How long can you keep that up?"

"I don't know. Long enough I hope. I fuelled up before the mission." Wally said honestly.

Bruce leaned forward and buried his face in Wally's shoulder. "Hey you have to keep alert there Bruce. Talk to me."

"I know." Wally shivered as Bruce's lips ghosted over his skin. His costume really was so thin as to be negligible. "Just what are we meant to talk about?"

"Anything."

"That helpful." Bruce paused, thinking. Wally knew whatever he was going to say wasn't going to be good when he felt the smile on his shoulder. "Why don't you sit and study explosives."

Bruce then started a lecture on bombs and their disarmament, starting with the standard version of the one they had last encountered. Wally relaxed and listened to the other man's smooth voice as he explained wire sequences. Five minutes later and Wally started shivering again but not because of the lips tracing patterns on him.

"Are you okay Wally?" Bruce asked pulling Wally closer to him and wrapping the previously ignored cape around them both.

"Guess I'm starting to run out of energy."

"You should lower your vibrations, conserve as much energy as you can. I'll be fine."

"Hypothermia must be setting in. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard you say. You keep me warm and I'll keep you warm. Tit for tat."

"Is it just tit for tat?"

Wally could help blushing at the suggestion in Bruce's tone. He looked back at the man. "And just what are you –"

He was stopped as Bruce leaned forward and softly kissed him. The lips were too cold and too chapped but Wally thought he was in heaven especially when a tongue burned against his lips. There was a creak from the doors and Wally found himself lying several feet away as sunlight flooded the container. A laugh echoed around the confines from a figure blocking some of the light.

"Stuck in a freezer with Batman, what a nightmare. Wouldn't let you conserve body heat together, would he?" Powergirl commented.

Batman stood up and brushed pas
