A/N: Oh God. I feel so horrible. It's either my allergies with a whopping hit or I'm getting sick. Either way, I feel miserable, guys. To add to it, my beta's sick with the stomach flu. Aren't we quite a pair?

"Wow!" M'gann gushed. "This is so delicious!"
I laughed in amusement, seeing the Martian take another hearty bite of her ice-cream sundae. "Isn't it?" I asked her. "You might not wanna eat it so fast or else you'll get a brain freeze."
"What's that?" M'gann asked me curiously, cocking her head to the side.
"It's when you eat or drink something cold really fast. When something cold touches the palate in your mouth, it results in a nerve response, which quickly constricts and swells your blood vessels to counter what it believes to be harmful to you."
"You're really informative, Fal," M'gann commented, looking at me with a sparkling twinkle in her eyes. "You know so many things."
"I guess," I laughed softly. "It comes with being the protégée of the World's Greatest Detective. You have to know a lot."
"Is it hard working under him? He seems really strict."
"I don't think so," I frowned. I dunno. I never really thought about it. "To be honest, I would say no. Lots of people would probably disagree with me, but working with Batman is a really fun experience."
M'gann looked confused. "Batman? Fun?" Yeah. You don't really expect those two to go together.
"Indeed. Have you seen the toys you get to play with?"
A/N: Remember to review!
