Ch.17: Play Date!

Nightwing, Red Arrow, Aqualad, and Flash all sat around the living room in the Watchtower. Nightwing and Red Arrow were sharing the couch while Flash and Aqualad took different seats on the ends of the couch.

Danny was jumping from the different seats, most of the time barely missing the older heroes.

Nightwing was following Danny's jumping with great interest, a huge beaming smile on his face. The other three looked bored while they watched.

"Why are we here again?" Red Arrow asked.

"Because you love me." Nightwing answered, still watching Danny.

Flash snorted. "That's one way of phrasing the way you roped us into watching Danny while Bats is busy, halfway across the galaxy…"

Danny flew off another couch and landed in front of his older brother. "Can we play a game, Nighty?"

Nightwing leaned forward, his face very close to his younger brother's. "Sure Little Raven. What do you wanna play?"

"Hide-and-seek!"

"NO!"

The two Bats looked at Flash's, Aqualad's, and Red Arrow's panicked faces weirdly.

"Why not?" Danny whined.

"The first time we played hide-and-seek with that little rat, we found him in an air vent three hours later." Flash said, pointing at Nightwing.

"It was not three hours. It was three hours, fourteen minutes, and thirty-nine seconds. Not my fault you guys forgot about me in the middle of the game!" Nightwing said, picking up Danny and placing him on his hip as he stood.

The other three rolled their eyes and got up too.

"Is there any other game you would like to play?" Aqualad asked the small child. Danny shook his head. The three sighed.

"Hide-and-seek it is then!" Nightwing cackled.

"Where was he?"

"Top shelf, Bats' closet."

"I hate to say it but that was smart. Only you can go in his room without being killed."

"It's been two hours! Where was he?!"

"Flash found him in the oven."

"…that could've ended so badly…"

"Do I even have to ask?"

"Girl's locker room."

"THAT KID IS SMART!"

"Where, Red?"

"He was in my quiver the entire time…"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"How did you not notice him?!"

"I don't know…"

"Aqualad, you found him after two and a half hours!"

"He was under the control panel desk…"

"Wait, wait, wait! You mean to tell me after he's hid in Bat's closet, the girl's locker room, the frikkin oven, Roy's quiver, and a few other places I would rather not mention, he hid under a desk?"

"Which is the reason why we found him three hours later…"

"How bad did we screw up?"

"The microwave! Explain to me how he can fit into the microwave!"

"GOOD GRAVY, HE'S HANGING OUT WITH CANARY AND THE OTHER WOMEN ON THE TEAM! HOW DID WE NOT NOTICE THAT?!"

"I just found him in Martian Manhunter's cape. We cannot let him out of our sights again."

"Flash…"

"Yeah Red?"

"Danny's gone…"

"WHAT?!"

"Danny… Come out, come out wherever you are! Come here, you little twerp!" Red Arrow called, looking under desks and the catwalks in the main room.

He heard Flash scream like a little girl and took off after the scream. When he saw what the speedster screamed at, he almost did himself. Aqualad was also with the red-clad hero, looking up worriedly.

Danny was hanging upside down from the rafters giggling. He rocked back and forth, making the archer and speedster have a small heart attack.

Superman walked into the room and looked up to where the other two heroes were. His eyes widened and he quickly flew into the air to get the child. "Danny, stay still!"

The white-haired boy shook his head before lifting his legs so he could plummet. He fell past Superman's arms and laughed loudly, shouting 'WEE!'.

Red Arrow, Aqualad, and Flash screamed and ran around, trying to find where Danny was gonna land so they could catch him.

"WEEEEEEEEE!"

He fell and fell and fell and fell…

Right into Nightwing's waiting arms. The little boy giggled at his little brother.

"Good job, Raven! He just made everyone have a heart attack! You make me so proud!" Nightwing said and hugged the small child, stroking his hair with their faces pressed together comically.

"So I did good?" Danny asked.

"You did fantastic!" Nightwing yelled.

Red Arrow and the other two walked up to the two brothers. The archer grabbed his friend's shoulder.

"We are never helping you babysit the kid again. Ever."

*claps sarcastically* I love little mischief Danny. It's so awesome. Thanks Sina Xiel for the 'Danny-plummeting' idea!
