"Give it up Killer Croc. You're done," Batman said evenly, glaring at the villain. Killer Croc chuckled darkly and punched his hand, approaching Batman threateningly. Batman's glare deepened and he didn't back down, didn't even so much as flinch.
"I'm gonna make a meal out of you, Bats. And then Gotham will be mine," Croc replied. He grinned, then lunged in at Batman. Batman flipped backwards and avoided a punch from the villain, retaliating by throwing several explosive batarangs. Killer Croc shielded himself with his arm, the batarangs exploding harmlessly on his scaled arm. Batman lunged forward and landed a kick to Croc's face, sending him stumbling backwards.
"Ha! Go you! Take that!" Kaden called cheerily, bashing a Killer Croc action figured with a Batman figure. Kaden laughed happily as he bounced around his room, wearing part of last year's Halloween costume: a Batman Cowl and cape. He'd built a scale model of Gotham City out of blocks, books, LEGOs and other toys, and he was, naturally, Batman. Beating up the bad guys.
A little knock came at his door and Kaden looked up at it, placing his Batman figure on top of a clock tower made of books and blocks, and dropped Killer Croc on the floor. Kaden bounced toward his door and opened it up, smiling up at his papa.
"Hi papa!" Kaden said cheerily. Dick smiled at the little boy and knelt down in front of him, patting his head.
"Hey little wing! Playing Batman again?" Dick asked amusedly. Kaden nodded and grabbed his papa's hand, dragging him into the room.
"Uh huh. Look papa! I built Gotham!" Kaden said proudly as he showed off his little Gotham City. Dick scanned it with his eyes before smiling over at Kaden, who watched him with a smile, waiting for him to say something.
"Wow, this is really good, Kaden!" Dick said smoothly, and Kaden jumped up and down, cheering proudly. He grabbed up his Batman figurine and gave his papa the Killer Croc.
"C'mon papa! Play Batman with me! You can be Killer Croc!" Kaden chortled, flopping down beside his block city. Dick chuckled in amusement and sat down beside him.
"Okay. So tell me what's up?"
"Killer Croc is trying to rob the bank. But Batman comes in to save the day!" Kaden said cheerily, moving his Batman figured toward Killer Croc. Dick chuckled in amusement and made a little roar sound, making Kaden laugh.
"You're a good Killer Croc, papa," Kaden said cheerily. Dick laughed and kissed the boy's head.
"Well, I think I'd make a better Nightwing, don't ypou think?" he asked. Kaden nodded.
"Uh huh. I don't have a Nightwing though," Kaden replied sadly. Dick smiled and patted the boy's head.
"We'll get you one!" Kaden's expression brightened as he hopped onto his feet and hugged Dick.
"Okay! Now come and get me scale face!" Kaden called out, running around the little city of blocks. Dick laughed and got to his feet, chasing after him with the action figure out in front of him.
"I'm gonna eat you Batman!" Dick called out with a laugh. Kaden let out a shrill giggle as he made his third lap around the little block city.
"Nuh uh! You're going down, Croc!"
"Rawr!"
"Hey, what's going on in here?" came Jason's voice as he popped his head in the room. Dick and Kaden stopped everything and glanced up at the door toward Jason. Jason quirked an eyebrow at Dick, then looked to Kaden, his eyebrow arching higher. And then he got a look at the mess in Kaden's room.
"We're playing Batman, daddy. Papa is Killer Croc and I'm Batman. And I'm winning," Kaden said, matter of factly. Dick snickered in amusement and gave a curt nod.
"He is. Batman never loses," Dick said with a knowing look. Jason snorted and flashed the two of them a grin.
"I don't know about that, but-"
"It's true! Batman is the best!" Kaden skipped over to his closet and started digging through his toybox, then skipped up to his dad and handed him a dinosaur.
"Come play with us daddy!" Kaden said. Jason smirked as he took the dinosaur and looked at it with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, maybe after lunch. Surely 'Batman' must be hungry after all that crime fighting?" Jason asked amusedly, patting Kaden's head. Kaden frowned, then gave a thoughtful look. He moved toward block city and then glanced back at his dad.
"Okay. The Dark Knight shall return!" he said, grabbing his cape and letting it fly behind him as he rushed out to the kitchen. Jason watched him go with an amused grin, shaking his head.
"Maybe we need to cut down on the sugar a bit," Jason joked. Dick laughed and swatted his arm.
"Oh, I think it's adorable! Now c'mon, let's go feed the Dark Knight, hmm?" Dick asked with a smile, pressing a quick kiss to Jason's lips.
