A/N: Here's some Bruce-time, piggythelaw, Half-a-bottle-Pepsi. Sorry it's not Bruce/Verena. It's more like Bruce watching Dick/Verena. :| I dunno what happened. I started with an idea of Verena working with Bruce but it ended up being this. Once I have a better idea, I'll post it up. :)

BRUCE WAYNE

Dick and I entered the television room and saw the large, plasma screen playing some cheesy horror movie. I knew very well that Dick and Verena watched The Exorcist a few nights ago and was well-aware that Verena had slipped into Dick's room. It made me wonder why she didn't just go to bed there in the first place.

I noticed a small lump on the couch, and peered over it. Of course she was asleep. Who wouldn't with that kind of movie?

Verena's lips were slightly parted as she took small, deep breaths. Her long blonde hair was fanned out underneath her as she slept on her right side, resting on her right arm, facing the television. The remote was on the ground, no doubt from it slipping from her grasp.

I turned my head and saw Dick looking down at Verena with a soft glance with a small smile on his face. I knew that look. It was a look my father often gave my mother. The boy was in much deeper than he expected, most likely.

"Why don't you take her upstairs?" I suggested, startling the boy. I hid my shock well when I saw my protégé jump. He must've been pretty far gone.

"Wh- oh- uh- yeah. Sure," Dick stuttered out. He walked around the couch and easily swiped up Verena's sleeping form.

The blonde girl let out a small groan before nuzzling deeper into her adoptive brother's chest. "Mhm… Dick…" she recognized immediately.

I smirked when I saw Dick's cheeks begin to get slightly pink. He noticed and looked away, muttering out, "Shut up."

"I didn't say anything," I retorted easily.

"You were thinking it," Dick replied. He adjusted his grip on Verena, making sure his arms were supporting her upper back and knees.

"Maybe, maybe not," I drawled, walking out of the room. I had some work to do, but it was always fun to watch the kids.

They were fascinating little things.

A/N: Yeah... Daddy-Brucey. :) Drop some reviews, comments, or requests~!
