A/N - Thanks for the reviews for chapter 1! I appreciate them. Remember, reviews are the only things that can influence what might be written next.

"Dogs."
"Cats."
"Cats are annoying."
"Well, so are dogs. At least cats don't howl all the time!"
"Yeah, they do!"
"No, they mrowl, and it isn't as loud as barking."
Superboy stepped into the living room, half-annoyed and half-curious as to what his fellow teammates were talking about. Having heard him come in, Robin and Kid Flash, both dressed in their civvies, whirled on him, trying to get him to take sides.
"Supe-y! Glad you could join us," Wally exclaimed, gesturing in annoyance at his gypsy friend. "Now could you please explain to this guy as to why cats are better than dogs?"
"What?"
"No way!" Robin cut in, batting one of the ginger's hands away from him. "Dogs will always be the superior! Television has proved that!"
"Can dogs climb up trees?" Wally retorted.
"Can cats get down them?" he quipped.
"Not cool, man!"
"Wait, wait, wait," Superboy interrupted, holding his hands up in a gesture similar to Superman's own way of calming people down. "You guys are arguing over which animal is better?"
Robin scoffed, folding his arms, "Basically. It started out with us wondering what it would be like to a have an animal sidekick, but KF won't admit that a dog would do better at fighting crime with superheroes."
"Do dogs have the natural agility and grace of a cat? No! I didn't think so. Like a dog will be able to keep up with me."
"Ugh, this'll go on all day if we don't have a tie-breaker. What do you say Superboy?"
The two looked on earnestly at the clone as he silently contemplated the question. It wasn't until he had grabbed the remote and sat down in between them on the couch that he said anything. He turned on the TV, flipping the channel to one he preferred, "Dogs."
"WHAT?"
"Yes!" Robin pumped a fist up in victory as Wally nearly fell out of his seat in shock.
"B-but," Wally spluttered, dramatically grabbing Superboy's arm. "Why?"
"Cats are girly," he supplied bluntly, shaking off the speedster's arm. At that, Robin burst out laughing, clutching his stomach as Wally gaped in horror.
"You should see your face," Robin gasped, wiping a tear from under his shades as his giggles subsided. "It's priceless!"
"I no longer want to be in the same room as you two, cat-haters!" Wally practically shouted, stomping out of the room to cool down.
"Tch, drama queen," Robin mumbled, still getting over the hilarity of the moment. Superboy, still watching his program, nodded stoically. The show went on for quite awhile before the shorter of the two decided to speak again. "So, what kind of dog would you want for a sidekick?"
Superboy made a noncommittal noise, letting the young teen continue, "It would be cool if Br…um…Batman would get a bulldog or something. Oh, no, a Great Dane; with a cowl and everything! That would definitely strike fear into the hearts of the baddies!"
"…a white one."
"Huh?"
"A white dog," Superboy replied simply. "I think a white dog would be nice to have."
"Oh, o-kay then."
"…"
It was then that Kid Flash returned to the room, looking somewhat composed with no indication of the previous fight ever happening. Flopping down on the couch, he ignored the stares that his friends gave him, instead choosing to keep his eyes glued to the screen. And so there the three teens sat, watching a show about a narcissistic doctor and his followers as they diagnosed patients with a variety of illnesses until…
"Girls dig guys with cats."
The facepalm that ensued left a red mark on Robin's forehead for the rest of the day that would later raise the eyebrow of an incredulous Bat.
A/N - Just a few tidbits for those with a good amount of knowledge of the DC universe. So can you guess which super animals I'm referring to? And who would you like to see next?
