Two days ago, my mother's dog had to be put down.

R.I.P. Ranger. You will be sorely missed.


ENJOY!


Batman watched from the shadows as the boy and his friends took the pup to go see Red Tornado.

The pup would check out. Batman knew that for a fact. After all, nothing went to the Bat Cave without having a thorough going over. And nothing left the Bat Cave without an even more thorough going over.

It'd been difficult getting the blasted thing really wedged into the bush without hurting it, so it couldn't get out on it's own, especially with the clone so near. Conner had very nearly caught him there at the end. But it had been worth it. The boy needed a dog, he was an animal lover at heart, just like his father was.

Both his fathers actually.

It was probably one of the best kept secrets in the world, but it was no secret to the Batman that Lex Luthor kept a long haired white Persian cat.

A "Mr. Fuzzle-Buns", the dark knight believed he called it...

Batman shook his head and quietly made his way to the zeta tubes. The hardest part was making sure Robin didn't find out. The last thing he needed was a dog running around the mansion. Or slobbering all over the seats of the Bat Mobile, because if Robin got a dog he'd most certainly want it to be a crime fighter.

He'd probably name it the "Robin Hound", or maybe "The Dog Wonder"…

He sighed, keying in the coordinates for the Bat Cave. Who was he kidding? Robin would eventually find out, of that he had no doubt. In fact, he'd almost be a little disappointed if Robin didn't figure it out. He'd trained the boy to be a detective after all.

It'd almost be worth the trouble of having the dog around if his little bird could manage it this time. The dark knight had been especially careful to cover his tracks this time around.

Recognize. Batman. Zero. Two.

Now he just had to hope Alfred didn't spoil the game and rat him out…


Yep, couldn't resist...!

Review.

Until next time...
