Flash let out a long sigh before he replied. "Ok," he muttered, "as long as its not at my house because-" "WAAAAAHHOOOO!" Before Flash could even finish, Kid Flash was bouncing off the walls; literally. He ran up a wall, fell, ran up it again, fell again then smiled at Flash "Thank you thank you THANK YOU!" The kid said as he zipped out. Flash rubbed his temples on the sides of his head as he sat staring at a computer screen. "So glad its not at my house..." he murmured under his breath.
Batman let out a long sigh before he replied. "Ok," he muttered, "as long as its not at my house because-" "WAAAAAHHOOOO!" Before Batman could even finish, Robin was bouncing off the walls; literally. He backflipped over a chair, slammed into a wall, tired backflipping again then realizing it wouldn't work he just smiled at Batman. "Thank you thank you THANK YOU!" The kid said as he zipped out. Batman rubbed his temples on the sides of his head as he sat staring at a computer screen. "So glad its not at my house..." he murmured under his breath.
The two met at opposite ends of the hallway with the same big smiles. They both held one hand in the air and ran towards eachother; when they met in the middle their hands met for what they called 'the ultimate high-five' "HE SAID YES! EXCEPT IT CAN'T BE AT HIS HOUSE!" They both said in unison.
Wally cocked his head to the side and looked at Dick.
"Then where are we supposed to have the sleepover?" He said with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"I... I don't know, but i'm sure they'll decide on something!" Dick said trying to lighten Wally's mood, "but i also have this!" Dick said pulling a DVD case from behind his back.
"Woah! Batman let you buy this?!" Wally said in amazment, his eyes bulging out at the case.
"Yup! Come on! lets go watch it now!" Dick said while he sprinted to the Entertainment room.
The movie they had just finished was called 'Destruction's Invasion'. It was about two alien planets being in peace when a monster named Destruction comes and invades their planets. Destruction was a giant monster made of rocks created by a wizard named Fryeth. In summary, Destruction tries to tear apart the planets peace but friendship and trust keep the two planets believing that they would win together.
To any grown up or 13-year old, Destruction would seem like a fantasy beast from a video game, but to two little super sidekicks, he was almost as scary as The Joker. They held their plates in their hands as they trembled to their seats next to Roy in the cafeteria. "... and when he picked it up and there was no one there!" Dick said in horror. "Ugh that freaked me out!" Wally replied very uncomfortably as he sat in front of Roy and Dick sat next to the eldest kid. "What are you guys talking about?" Roy chuckled as he looked up from his phone. "The scariest monster ever!" Wally said almost immediately. "What like the Joker or Scarecrow or something?" Roy asked, obviously confused watching the two boys tremble. "We saw the movie Destructions Invasion..." Dick said softly. "Aww what!? Dudes!" Roy said thumping the boys on the head. "Ouch!" Dick said rubbing his forehead, "what was that for?" "You're ROBIN! THE BOY WONDER! You've fought the worst, meanest, biggest, baddest, craziest, villain's! And you!" He said turning to Kid Flash, "there's nothing to be said! You're KID FLASH! Nephew of the fastest man alive; please don't tell me you two are scared about a made up alien dude from a planet that doesn't exist?" Roy said, slightly amused yet more frustrated. The two stared down at their burgers. Five seconds later they burst out laughing; all of them.
"No way man," Flash said as he gulped down a mouthful of chips, "Iris is in the hospital right now. I've got to be there as soon as my shift up here is over; I won't be at my house and I definitely won't have the time to take care of Wally, you've got to take him." Batman opened his mouth to protest when Green Arrow came and sat next to them. "Man they're having a blast over there!" The two other mentors heads turned as they saw 3 kids cracking up. They all smiled on the inside, wondering what could possibly be so funny, when Green Arrow said, "So my canary and I are having a personal night," he hesitated for a second before turning to Batman, "and if Flash here is dropping Wally off at the manor then do you mind if I-" "What!?" Batman interrupted, slightly mad with a mixture of shock, "who said anything about my place?" "Well are they having a sleepover in the streets?" Flash asked seriously, "I'm have too much on my plate, Wally's going to your place..." then a small smirk appeared on Flash's face, "unless you're willing to disappoint your little bird..." Anyone who said Batman didn't have a weakness was wrong; his #1 weakness was his little bird: Robin. Batman bit his lip wondering what to do in the awkward silence, then Green Arrow broke it. "So 6 o'clock then!? Thanks Bruce!" Green Arrow said as he got up, rather quickly. Flash just winked a thanks to Batman as he left. Bruce closed his eyes and sent up a silent prayer for help, tonight he would need it.
"Is it 6 o'clock yet?" "Is it 6 o'clock yet?" "Is it 6 o'clock yet?" Those seemed to be the only words Dick would say since they left the watch tower around 4. Except for the occasional "yes Alfred" when asked if he wanted a snack. Bruce and Dick both changed out of their uniforms and got into more comfortable clothes. After two long hours, the terrible sound of the doorbell rung through the big house. "I'll get it!" Alfred said from downstairs, loud enough so Bruce could hear him upstairs. "NO!" A loud shout came from a room, "I'll get it!" Dick said as he ran down the long staircase almost tripping twice. The young boy stabilized himself and darted to the door. He swung it open to see a boy with bright orange-red hair wearing a blue shirt and jeans and a blonde man wearing a sweater and black slacks. Bruce followed Dick and stood behind him. "Evening Barry, hows Iris?" Bruce asked. "Not doing any better," Barry said as he hung his head low in worry, "I don't know how much longer she-" "Stop worrying Uncle Barry!" Wally said as he punched him in the arm, "remember this is AUNT IRIS we're talking about! She's one of the strongest woman I know!" "You know, next to Wonder Woman..." Dick added lightly. They all smiled a bit then Barry looked at Wally. "Now eat everything Alfred serves you, don't break ANYTHING, and be in bed by 11; 12 the max but NO LATER THAN THAT ARE WE CLEAR?" Wally stood up and saluted him like a soldier would salute a general. "SIR YES SIR!" He said. Barry ruffled his orange hair and started out the doorway. "Pick you up by 10 in the morning! Be good!" "Don't count on it!" Wally joked back. Bruce closed the door after watching Barry drive away. He turned around to see Dick and Wally already laughing their heads off over a joke one of them had made, he knew this would be a long night.
"And don't be mean or rude or disrespectful or-" "Gosh gosh I got it Ollie! Jeez don't treat me like a kid!" Roy said while he got out of the car. They walked one behind another to the giant door of Wayne Manor at around 7, and NOT to their surprise they could hear loud roar of laughter all the way outside the door. Roy pressed his finger on the glowing orange button as the loud DING DONG noise followed. Just seconds later the door was swung open by none other than the boy wonder himself; accompanied by the fastest red head alive.
"Hey Roy!" Wally greeted him. Bruce came to the door and stood behind the two boys and stretched his hand over their heads to Oliver.
"Evening Oliver." Bruce said formally.
"Sup Brucie!" Oliver said extending his fist out for a fist bump. Bruce looked down at his hand, smiled then pushed in downward.
"I'm doing fine thank you." Before an awkward silence could erupt Bruce added, "So Barry's picking up this little roadrunner up at 10 tomorrow," he said with a smile and ruffled Wally's hair, "so do you-"
"10's perfect!" Oliver burst out, "Diana and I'll get the whole night to ourselves! Ok so 10!" He bent down to whisper into Roy's ear "behave..." he said through his teeth. He straightened up, smiled, and headed back to his car. When he was gone, Bruce closed the door and led the three kids to the right; down a series of rooms which finally ended at the Living room. By the looks of the 50 or so action figures and scattered Lego pieces on the floor, it would seem as if Wally and Dick had already been here. The giant 100 inch plasma screen TV on the other hand was playing a rerun of a cartoon episode that Roy had grown up watching. Before Bruce left the boys he said,
"okay well Alfred said that dinner would be ready in about half an hour so I'll be back at 7:30 mkay?" The three boys nodded in agreement and Bruce headed upstairs. The raven haired boy sat down on the floor and picked up one of the action figures. Wally sat down in front of him and picked up another and they made fighting and exploding noises as the two figures attacked eachother. Roy threw himself on the couch and pulled his phone to play the game he had been playing at lunch earlier. The game was scary, really scary and every kid at his middle school trembled at the name. Roy hadn't even realized how quickly half an hour had passed with the intensity of the game. Bruce came down the stairs and called them to the dining room. Five grilled cheese sandwiches (three of which belonged to Wally) and four bowls of tomato soup (two of which belonged to Wally) later, the three boys sat at the table; stuffed.
"Thanks Alfred!" Roy called out to the kitchen, "dinner rocked!"
"Will that be all?" Alfred said as he came from the kitchen looking at Wally with a small smirk on his face. Wally smiled and nodded as he finished the last of his second bowl of soup. Alfred happily took the bowl from the table as the three boys got up and washed their hand in the restroom on after another. It was around eight that night when the boys decided to do something more than sit idle. They took advantage of the giant mansion and thought it would be the best place to play hide and seek. In a place like Wayne Manor, they had only finished two rounds in an hour and when I was Roy's turn for the 'seeking' he totally gave up after 20 minutes. At about 9:30 they were bored.
"What do you wanna do now?" Wally asked innocently.
"I dunno..." Dick said plopping himself on the couch in the living room, "I got some movies?"
"Nah..." Roy and Wally responded.
"Games?"
"Nah..."
"Toys?"
"Nah..."
"I got balloons! We could just blow some balloons or something?" The red orange hair boys shared a glance and nodded. Without another word, Dick shot up the stairs and the two boys followed him. They went into Dicks room and marveled in amazement. To any normal kid, a 50 inch TV, 2 gaming consoles and a bookshelf of games, and a touch screen desktop was a bit excessive in a room, but at Wayne Manor? This was all expected. Wally awed at Dicks massive closet while Roy stood jaw dropped at the school awards and certificates on the wall. "Man you are good in school!" Roy spun on his heels to address Dick, "how do you already have a scholarship for computer and software?"
"I dunno..." Dick said digging his toes into the carpet shyly, "I guess I just try...?"
"If only it were that easy..." Roy chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Are you done with my closet?" Dick smiled and looked at Wally.
"It... its just... how do you get so much stuff?!" Wally asked not taking his eyes off the closet with a minimum of 70 different shirts and 40 different pants.
"Well dad, er I mean Bruce, " he corrected, "says when he spends loads of money on stuff for the cave, people ask what he does with it so he says he spends it on me." The two boys smiled and understood his reason. They wandered around the room looking at some of the other stuff as Dick went to his study desk on the other side of the room. He opened a dark mahogany drawer and pulled out a packet of white balloons; 30 or so. They all gathered in a semi circle/triangle as the blue eyed boy poured the balloons in front of them. For a while, they had all actually tried to blow the balloons but ultimately failed; though they made the best of their failures. After ten long minutes, they just decided to blow as much as they could and let the balloon go and let the farting like noise sputter through the room. The first few times it was gross, then it became funny, then they starting making jokes. A while later, Roy gave up but the other two were determined to blow a few more. While the boys pumped air into the little bag things, Roy pulled out his phone; still sitting in the semi circle/triangle. He started playing the terribly terrifying game once more, though the younger kids never questioned his game. Wally had peered over a few times and Dick had given Roy a strange look but nothing more than that. During the intensity of the racing through the dark forest looking for notes he hadn't even realized how time had flown. He jerked as the figure appeared behind him in the game and the small screen read GAME OVER. He looked up from his phone to see 15 or so balloons tied up on strings floating around the room.
He looked around and Wally and Dick weren't even there, "Did they leave while I was playing?" Roy thought, "or, Oh no! Did he get them!?"
Roy jumped up into panic mode, the 'tall man' from the game was a terrible being, he started of as a myth but was rumored to become real. Roy knew that if he had gotten the boys, he was next... He made no sudden movements, he held his breath as he turned his head slowly. He felt the drop of sweat trickle from his forehead down to his eyebrow. Suddenly something tapped his shoulder and Roy threw his hands in the air and fell to the floor in fright. "So what's that game called?" Wally asked as Dick stretched out his arm to help Roy up from his sudden fall. Roy turned around to see the two staring down at him; the raven haired boy with a look of confusion mixed with humor and the red haired one with humor and immense curiosity.
"Oh, heh..." Roy said as he stood up, "you wouldn't like it, it's too scary..."
"What!? I'm the Boy Wonder!" Dick defended himself, "NOTHING is too scary for me!"
"Oh?" Roy looked at him with a small smirk, "how bout this? I'll promise to tell you sometime before we go to bed? Sound okay?"
The two nodded as Roy spun around and pulled down one of the balloons. He picked up a marker to draw a smiley face on it though unfortunately it was dried out. He picked up a pencil (not realizing the mistake he was about to make) and attempted to draw another face.
POP!
The balloon exploded in Roys' face and once again he fell in fright; though this time the two boys giggled at him. The giggling slowly turned into loud laughter shared by all three boys and the balloon popping turned into a game. They would all grab an inflated balloon and competed to see who could pop a balloon the fastest using anything but a pencil.
The game filled the room with childish laughter and loud explosions. Once a balloon had flown out into the hallway then drifted of to the left then came back to the right and went back and forth through the doorway like that. Dick explained to them that the vents were aligned in such a way that the air would push and rikashay. They hadn't even realized how fast time had flown by.
"Hey guys," Bruce said as he knocked on the door and opened it, "It's about 10:30 and i say it's time you boys set up camp in here alright?"
The 3 musketeers nodded sadly and sheepishly as they went downstarirs to get their clothes and sleeping bags.
After they got their belongings, they started up the stairs when Alfred asked if they wanted milk and freshly baked cookies for a midnight snack. The three replied with grateful smiles when Alfred said he'd leave the treats waiting for them in the kitchen so they could eat whenever they pleased.
A while later, they'd gone up into Dicks' room, set their sleeping bags on the ground along with their blankets and pillows, changed into their pajamas and sat in that semi circle/ triangle on their sleeping bags again around 11. The younger boys were busy talking about a new show on TV while Roy was back on his phone playing the horrendously addictive game. The computer version was far more scary so Roy just stuck with the easier phone version. Roy himself, shook as he pressed the buttons and traveled through the woods; sadly he had to stop when Wally asked, "Now can we know what you're playing?"
Roy sighed but nodded.
"Okay, the game i'm playing is," he pushed the last standing balloon outside the door, looked side to side down the hallway and shut the door, then sat back down and lowered his head, "it's called... Slender Man..."
The two boys could not stop laughing at the so called 'terrifying name' of the game. Roy crossed him arms, flustered and agitated.
"He's a lot scarier than he sounds!" Roy quickly pulled up a picture of him on his phone and showed them the white face-less man with a suit and tentacle-like arms coming from behind him.
"He looks like an octopus." Wally said simply.
"He's a creepy, kidnapping, phycopath!" Roy exclaimed, "here let me tell you a story about him..."
The two boys leaned in to listen better when Roy got back from turning the lights off to add intensity.
"Okay, so Slender Man. Some say he's just a made-up man from a game. Most who believe that end up missing." No, he didn't want to scare the kids but they were practically asking for it, "So here's a story about something that happened to a girl who refused to believe in Slender... A teenage girl lived next door to her best friend, she told her parents she was going over to do some quick homework with her. About half an hour later the girl hadn't returned, the parents had called her several times but she was not picking up. They decide to call the neighbors parents, when they picked up they asked "can you please tell my daughter to come home now?" the lady on the other end asked, "home? what do you mean? she never came over." The father dropped the phone and ran out to the streets, the mother followed," by the looks on the Dick and Wallys' faces, it was obvious they were listening so Roy went on.
"They ran outside to the sidewalk to see there daughter dangling in mid-air. They stepped closer and closer when they realized she wasn't floating, she was being chocked, by a tall and skinny man, with a white face and white hands; as in paper white. The man had no eyes no mouth no nose no ears, just a head. He wore a black suit and had octopus-like tentacles coming from his tentacles tackled the girl and in seconds she was gone, no killing, no blood, she just disappeared. The mom let out a loud cry and ran towards the white man. She too was then hung in the air, her neck was snapped and she was tackled by the tentacles and disappeared. The dad stood there, stunned and shocked and infuriated all at once. The tall man turned to the father of the missing wife and daughter then he too disappeared into thin air.
The father never told anyone what he saw that day. For months he kept it inside himself but as the fury grew, it developed into insanity.
He was thrown into an asylum for treatment but nothing seemed to work. After two years he decided it was time. He asked to speak to the police about the case of the missing mother and daughter. He told them he was the father and step by step of what happened to the women and the tall man. The police just laughed and sent him back to the asylum. The next day, the report of two missing police officers was filed. The father was let out of the asylum a while later and when he went home, there was a note taped to his door. All it read was RUN. The father turned around and there stood the man, the tall, skinny, slender man."
Roy finished his story and looked up to see Dick and Wally practically frozen.
"Told ya it was scary!" Roy teased.
"Eh... It was OKAY..." Wally said, obviously trying to look like he wasn't scared.
"So the game is not based on that story but you have to run through the dark forest and find these 8 notes without being caught. You guys are scared I know you are!" Roy said narrowing his eyes and smirking.
"N-no were not..." Dick said shifting uncomfortably.
There was a long pause before Wally spoke up softly.
"So you guys want those cookies now?"
Dick nodded as Roy stood up and opened the door. The stairs, and all of the first floor was dark because Bruce had gone to sleep so Alfred had powered down most of the house. Dick could make out the way to the kitchen through the dark so the two redheads followed him. When he reached the kitchen, he found the switch and turned on the small light above the island where the cookies and three glasses of milk had been laid out.
They all grabbed a cookie and their glasses and dunked them in and took a bite. None had said a word since they came downstairs then Roy burst out laughing.
"You guys aren't seriously scared are you!?"
Dick and Wally shared a nervous smile which faded into just a regular smile.
"It's not like he's REAL..." Roy said nonchalantly as he sipped on his milk.
"Don't say that Roy! Like what if... he... comes... and..." Dick hesitated.
"Guys! Come on Mr.'Boy Wonder isn't scared of anything!' Slender's just blah stuff to make people scared!" Roy laughed.
"Ya you're probably right..." Wally agreed.
Then the sidekicks finished all of the slightly warm but incredibly delicious cookies and cold milk with smiles on their faces; Slender man did not scare them.
Dick turned the light off as they left the kitchen and darkness swept over downstairs. They started walking up the stairs with Dick in the front, Wally behind him, and Roy on the third step from the top when the youngest boy stopped abruptly.
"R-Roy..." Dick stammered as he stepped down to Roy and hugged his arm, "i'm scared..."
"Wha-? Don't tell me you're scared of a make believe character?" Roy said as he ruffled his hair.
Wally, who was now in the front, stretched his neck forward to see what had frightened the boy then he himself came down and held Roys' arm with a terrified expression.
"But he's here..." Wally whispered, his voice cracking as he attempted to hold back a tear.
Roy shook his head and smiled, "kids..." he thought. He held the boys and walked to the top step when he saw down the long hallway a white, face-shaped circle. It started drifting towards them and that's when Roy panicked.
"AAHHHH!" the three boys screamed in unison; though not loud enough to wake anyone. Roy flung open the door as the figure moved closer and closer. One after another they ran into the room and locked it shut, piling chairs and pillows in front of the door till there was a fluffy wall covering the door.
The young kids rushed their sleeping bags all the way to the other side of the room, as far away from the door as possible. They pushed their backs to the corner and hid their faces in their blankets, completely terrified for their lives. They heard a soft knock on the door and hid their faces deeper into their blankets, whimpering softly in fear. They glued their eyes to the door, they didn't move, nor did they say another word to one eachother.
Bruce stretched his arms out, sat up, and looked to the right; 9:32AM his digital clock read. The boys should be up but then again, they were boys. Their mentors would be here in about 25 minutes so he got out of bed, combed his hair, put on a suit and tie then went out and knocked on Dick's door. A terribly loud scream came from the room not even a second after his fist had hit the wooden door; almost as if they were waiting for him. Bruce jerked and attempted to open the door which was unfortunately locked. "It's probably that movie I bought Dick last weekend... I knew it was a bad idea..." Bruce whispered to himself. He had heard a similar scream last night when he knocked on their door and came to ask if they were okay. The Dark Knight ignored it and decided to go downstairs and have breakfast instead.
The three boys sat there, their eyes bloodshot and big, black circles around their eyes. They hadn't slept all night. Someone had knocked on the door and their own screams shook eachother up a bit. They had all watched the sun rise a few hours ago, still not saying a word to eachother, they hadn't moved from their spots. They sat there awake all night thinking, waiting for Slender Man; praying he wouldn't be there. Finally, when Dick read the clock (9:45 AM) he decided to speak up. "S-slender M-man is is..." Dick hesitated and shivered as he spoke, "just, just..." "Stop talking about it..." Wally whined as he dug his head into his knees. Roy stood up, folded his blanket, put it in his bag along with his pillow and looked at himself in the mirror. "I look like a zombie," Roy muttered under his breath, "well if that's what it took to stay alive so be it..." Wally got up and packed his things in his bag, including his sleeping bag, then sat back down in the corner next to Dick with all his stuff set in front of him. Roy joined them as they all sat there, motionless. They had broken 3 records tonight; longest time they had stayed up, longest time Wally and Dick had gone without talking, and longest time the boys had gone without moving.
A while later, a doorbell sounded through the house (which startled all three of them) and they resiliently got up and headed for the bedroom door. They stopped in front of the door wondering who would be courageous enough to open it. They all shared a look then reached for the knob at once and pushed the door open; relieved Slender was not there. Wally and Roy dragged their things down the stairs sheepishly to the front door, half awake half asleep. Barry and Oliver greeted Bruce and the boys with cheerful smiles but the only one who returned a smile was Bruce; the boys stood there with their heads hanging low, staring at their feet just barely collapsing. The three mentors were astonished at the boys expression, usually they'd be jumping off the walls and laughing, but something was obviously wrong. Oliver grabbed Roy's stuff and Barry grabbed Wally's as Barry leaned over and grit down his teeth "we'll be talking about this..." he said to Bruce as he left for his car with Wally behind him. Wally managed to murmur a soft "bye guys..." as he left. Oliver gave purposefully forced smile to show Bruce he was not pleased. He took Roy by the arm and walked them to his car, Roy just barely conscious.
"Are you okay sport? You look terrible!" "I'm fine..." Wally said as he buckled his seat belt in the backseat, "was there something we were going to do today?" "Well ya! We were supposed to go to that amusement park over there!" Barry said as he put his keys in, "but looking at your condition, I don't think I can take you." "Yes you can..." Wally whined as he leaned his head back closing his eyes. "No I can't." Barry chuckled, "when we get home you're going straight to bed, we'll talk about the sleepover later but-" Barry turned to the backseat when he saw that Wally had already dozed off.
Oliver got into the drivers seat and Roy got into passenger. "What did you do this time Roy? " he asked as he started the car. "No-Nothing..." he said as he leaned against the window then fell asleep but his head drifted forward and hit the dashboard, "I just need some sleep..." "Roy...?" "Okay fine... I showed them that game I'm playing..." "What? The creepy game about that weird guy with no face!? I told you to STOP playing that!" "I know... but its so addicting!" Roy said as he smiled with his eyes closed. "Its poisoned your mind and you're just 13! Think about how mentally scared you have turned and eight year old into?!" Oliver was about to go on when he realized that his sidekick was already fast asleep.
"So can I? I promise to explain everything later..." Dick said as he rubbed his eyes and followed Bruce to the kitchen, "I'm really tired..." They walked into the kitchen where Alfred had just make a hot, fresh, plate of blueberry pancakes; Dick went straight to the small wooden table in the kitchen, pulled out a chair, sat in it, then crossed his arms and dug his head into them.
"But... But," Bruce stammered almost childishly, "today there's a new elementary school opening downtown and The Commissioner asked for you AND I to be there. He said 'what better to have at the opening of an elementary school than an elementary school student!' and i didn't want to disappoint him and-"
"Sorry, i don't mean to interrupt Master Bruce but the boy is in terrible condition!" Alfred said, putting his spatula down and turning to see the boy, "I would highly advise you to NOT take him."
Bruce sighed knowing Alfred was most likely right. He shook the boys shoulder as he shot up, nearly toppling out of his chair. Bruce walked the boy up the stairs to his room when he clutched on to Bruce's arm tightly.
"Can i sleep in your room Daddy, er i mean Bruce?" he asked softly looking up at him with those giant puppy dog eyes Bruce could never seem to say no to, though he stood there for a minute, wide-eyed at what Dick just called him: Daddy. He walked the boy to his room and let him hop in his neat bed. "he called me Daddy!" Bruce whispered to himself softly.
After Bruce had patted Dick to sleep, he went back to the kid's room to see if anything had broken last night; these kids were unpredictable. He walked down the hallway of rooms but all he seemed to find were white rubber scraps scattered everywhere. He picked one up and went to talk to Alfred, who was still in the kitchen. "What is this?" Bruce asked as he examined the substance. "Oh yes Master Bruce! I was cleaning up this morning when I saw those scraps as well then I saw a floating white balloon in the hallway and concluded that the boys must've just been popping balloons last night. So sorry about that sir, I'll go clean that up as soon as I'm done here." And with that, Alfred went back to stirring. Bruce exhaled heavily as he walked to his in home office. "What did they do?"
A/N: Did you like it? I'm sorry if you didn't... BUT I HOPE YOU DID! Anyways, Slender Man is a game about, well like Roy said, he comes and kidnaps people... so ya but the reason i thought it would be fun to incorpirate him was because the week of Hallwoeen 2012, everyone at my school was trying to freak me out with those stories and i couldn't help but think how Wally and Dick would react. XD ok well Reviews are EXTREMELY apreciated, I love to see what you guys think of my stuff! So please tell me what you thought of this chapter and something you might want to see for my next one! THANKS A MILLION!
