A/N: Hey guys! I got a very overwhelming number of votes for the one shot, and the majority vote was for Robin/Batgirl :) I probably should've seen that coming, but I was still surprised by just how many people voted for it. The one-shot isn't done yet, but I'm at 1000 words, so I promise, it should be done soon!

Also, the second highest vote was for Aqualad/Rocket, and I thought you all might like to know that I've started writing a bit of an idea for a long-running romance fanfic for them. It probably won't start for awhile, maybe not til after Long Nights is over, but I hope you all will keep an eye out for it :D

So, I know this was a particularly lengthy Author's Note, but thanks for reading it if you did :D And be sure to add me to your Author Alert if you're interested in reading these fanfics I plan on adding :) Well, enjoy!

"OH MY FREAKING GOD SHE IS GOING TO KILL ME WHAT WAS I THINKING LISTENING TO YOU!"

"Hey Wally," the two Bat-kids chimed in unison, turning around to watch the speedster pace back and forth at ten steps a second.

"Don't 'Hey Wally' me!" he roared, coming to a full stop and spinning around to glare at them, "You lied! Artemis knew it was me from the moment I got there! No matter how fast I moved, it wouldn't have made a difference!" He groaned and ran his hands through his hair. "She is seriously going to murder me."

"Yeah, like you haven't pulled pranks on her before," Robin scoffed before turning back to face the holoscreen, which was now split into four separate windows to keep an eye on the split-up Team. He swallowed a mouthful of popcorn from the bucket in his lap.

"Well, I've definitely never knocked her unconscious before!" he yelled out, flailing his arms in the air dramatically before stopping to consider his own statement, "Well… not on purpose anyway."

Barbara sighed. "Look Walls, if she tries to kill you for this, just blame us," she told him as she chowed down on her own bucket of buttery morsels, "Tell her that you thought it was just a bunch of noise makers or something. I mean, that's not even completely a lie."

"Oh, sure, 'cause she's totally gonna believe a stupid excuse like th— wait a minute, Babs, is that my popcorn!"

The other redhead flashed him a mischievous smile and tauntingly popped another piece of his popcorn into her mouth. "Maaayyybe." She stole a glance at her partner and knew by his wide smirk they were on the same page: Wally is WAY too easy to distract, especially with food.

The silent exchange went unnoticed by their freckled friend, who had already zoomed over and yanked the bucket from Barbara's hands. "And look, it's almost empty!" he whined loudly, staring brokenheartedly into the barren bowl. The Bat-kids grinned widely, trying to hold back their laughter as they watched their friend throw a tantrum over food like a four-year-old.

"And he's supposedly two years older than us," Robin whispered so that only Batgirl could hear.

The speedster pulled his attention away from his poor ravaged popcorn tub and eyed the duo suspiciously. "What are you two giggling about now?" he asked slowly, as if he was afraid of setting off their dangerous imagination if he spoke too quickly.

"Oh, I was just telling Dicky how lucky Artemis is to have a guy as, uh… unique as you," Barbara managed to get out between chuckles, "I mean, seriously. How did I ever let you get away?"

"Barbara, we only went on one date, like, three years ago. And it was because Dick decided to introduce us by setting us up on a blind date," he replied with a glare aimed at his best friend.

"Pfffthahahaha! Best idea of my entire life!" the Boy Wonder broke into laughter, laying back down on the roof and tossing popcorn into his mouth.

Wally didn't look quite so amused. "It ended with me beat up, pushed off a roof, and hanging from a streetlight until Uncle Barry showed up!" he yelled out, arms flailing around again, "And then he proceeded to laugh his ass off and take a boatload of incriminating photos that I finally managed to completely dispose of only just last month!"

Barbara just giggled. "Awww, that's so cute."

"What is?" the speedster growled, both annoyed and confused.

"The fact that you think you managed to destroy all those pictures," Robin chimed in, the grin never leaving his face, "Do you really think we would've let you throw away all those precious memories of that eventful and magical night?"

"Yeah, seriously, Wally. Have you met us?"

An expression of pure horror stretched across Wally's face as the realization set in. "…what."

"Yeppp," Barbara told him with an overly cheerful smile, "I'm just waiting for the right opportunity to sneak those beautiful memories into Artemis's locker."

"WHAT!"

"Relax, freshness. I doubt Artie will be mad about one little date," Dick assured him with feigned innocence, "Plus, you already got your revenge by setting me and Babs up, remember?"

"Which also ended with me getting beat up, pushed off a roof, and left hanging from a freakin' street light!"

"You know, Wally, if you keep yelling like that, Artemis might wake up and hear you. She isn't that far away, after all."

The speedster was ready to pounce on the frustrating duo, but decided against it. She isn't wrong, he thought with an aggravated sigh, I'll just have to deal with them later.

"You did take her where I told you to, right?" Barbara continued, the startings of a mini Bat-glare forming on her features.

"Of course! It took us ages to carry the entire Team to all those random spots you chose. You're lucky we have superspeed."

Robin snorted at the speedster's complaints. "You're just lucky that Babs reeled in some extra help so that you didn't have to carry Superboy."

"Yeah, actually, I am very thankful for that one," Wally replied with a dry laugh as he took his seat beside Barbara, "Kaldur was heavy enough."

"Speaking of which," Babs said, turning her attention back to the holoscreen, "It looks like both of our big boys are up."

The other two looked back up at the screen to see both Aqualad and Superboy clutching their heads from the aftereffect of Robin and Batgirl's knockout gas.

"How did Kaldur not see this coming?" Wally asked as he proceeded to shovel some of the remaining popcorn into his mouth.

"He's probably kicking himself over it right now," Dick replied calmly, but froze when he heard a scream come from somewhere off-screen, "Wait, isn't Superboy in Old Gotham? There shouldn't even be that many crooks or gangs around there; the buildings are too unstable for them to hideout in."

Barbara stole another piece of popcorn from Wally's tub, much to the speedster's chagrin. "Yeah, so?"

"So, why did I just hear some girl scream in the background?"

"Maybe… we should go check and make sure he's okay?" Wally suggested. He had learned a long time ago that if the Boy Wonder is worried about something, everyone else should be panicking.

"Nah, he'll be fine," Batgirl replied dismissively, marking the end of the discussion.

The boys shared a brief look of defeat behind her back; they both knew all too well that when Barbara decides a conversation is over, it is over. They could only hope that she knew what she was doing.

On the screen next to that of Superboy, Aqualad had seemingly recovered from his monster of a migraine and was now kneeling at Rocket's side.

"Hey you guys, what's the deal with those two?" Barbara asked as she studied the screen, "I mean, that Rocket girl's clearly got the hots for Kaldur, but is it unrequited?"

Robin and Kid Flash looked at each other and then back at their female companion, their expressions totally blank. "Umm… what are you talking about?"

"Yeah, where did you get that idea from?"

Barbara gave another sigh. "Are you seriously telling me that you work with these people every day and never noticed?" she scoffed with a roll of her eyes, "Ugh. Boys."

Wally blinked at her. "Wait… seriously?"

"Well, I guess I can see that, now that you mention it…" Dick mumbled, now studying the awakened Rocket's movements.

"You guys are so useless as gossips when it comes to romance," Barbara chuckled, "No wonder I never find out about all these superhero couples until after they've been dating for a year."

Robin gave a gasp of exaggerated dismay. "Hey! I'll have you know that we figured out that Superboy and Miss M were dating in less than a week!" He paused, turning to look at Wally and laughing, "Well, me and Kaldur did anyway."

"Oh shut up and watch the stupid floating screen," Wally mumbled indignantly, hoping to drop this topic as fast as possible, "It looks like everyone's awake, and they've already gotten themselves in trouble."

Dick looked back at the screen and instantly broke down laughing. "I gotta hand it to Artemis, I would never have thought of fighting off a pack of angry cats with a fire extinguisher!"

"That's probably because it only makes them even angrier," Barbara said, grinning ear to ear. The livid yowls of cats erupted from the screen, making Wally flinch and nearly fall off the roof. "See?"

"Oooooh, poor Megan!" Wally winced as he watched the green girl run for her life on the screen next to the one of Artemis, "She sure has some bad luck to run into that lunatic." His gaze shifted back to the camera following Aqualad and Rocket. "Hey… did Kaldur just use his powers? How—"

"It's fine," the Bat-kids replied in unison.

Oh, yay. They're back on the creepy talking-at-the-same-time thing, Wally thought to himself. "But I thought you said—"

"It's all part of the plan, Rudolph," Barbara said with a wink, "Just relax."

The speedster winced at the sound of his old pet name that Barbara was still so fond of. "Ugh, don't start calling me that again. There's a reason I don't tell anyone my middle name, you know!"

"Well, then just shut up and watch already," she retorted, scooping up the last few pieces of popcorn in his bucket and slowly eating one at a time, "This is where things get interesting."

A/N: That's it for now, guys. If it seemed like a filler chapter, that's because it kind of was. I wanted to give you all something, but I needed a bit more time to work on the next chapter as well as the one shot, and I know quite a few of you wanted to see a bit more of the BatKids. So, sorry if it isn't up to par with the other chapters, I just figured that this hiatus is probably killing you all as much as it's killing me and that you'd be happy to have SOMETHING YJ related :) Anyway, don't forget to fave, follow, and review!
