Superman remembers the time it started.
Batman calls it the “pudding incident” and “training”.
The League decided it shall be called the “pudding tragedy”.
…
It all started with one vanilla pudding.
Labeled :
For Batdad!
Have a nice day at work!
-N 🖤💙
Now don’t get me wrong, a lot of the Justice League members are parents. But the Dark Knight is terrifying. While he was one of the three founding members of the Justice League, not a single soul knows his identity. Even less were the people that actually went to Gotham. The Justice League watched the news of Gotham, all the terrible villains are there, add to that white collar crimes, gangs, mafia bases, and even human trafficking. It is the exact opposite of Metropolis, but with twisty villains and a knack for gruesome murder.
Superman is secretly glad his city isn’t like that.
Anyways, Flash saw the Vanilla pudding and screeched.
Batman was the closest, he went to investigate. Saw the pudding, and HIS LIP TWITCHED INTO A SMILE!
Now anyone smiling at a note would be ok, but the Dark Knight never smiles. Ever.
Flash got the ---- out of there.
…
The second note had a “-RH” instead of the “-N”.
…
The notes continued.
Batman smiled every time he saw a note.
The Justice League was pretty sure the end of the world was near.
…
Wonder Woman got the courage to ask.
“Batman, I have a few questions.”
A grunt was her answer, as Batman was busy writing the incident report and calculating damages.
“Who are those notes from? Who has the ability to sneak past the world’s greatest defenders?”
“…My children. When we agreed to never let them join the league, they said they wanted to be better than the league. Their apparently ‘obvious’ answer to how they were going to achieve that was getting into the watchtower undetected. Have you gone to the Garden? Well, it was an extra meeting room. The extra kitchen space? That was a storage closet. The living room that appeared from nowhere? That was a training area. The new and improved training area? That was another storage room. The new emergency capsules? They didn’t exist last month.” Sigh. “Another point they were trying to -they said and I quote- ‘make you agree to let us move out’ Which will not be happening anytime soon, Nightwing.”
A figure clad in kevlar appeared from the vent near Batman’s legs. He had dark hair and was wearing a domino mask. But what caught the league’s interest was the blue bat-like shape on the young man’s chest, also the tiny bat earring.
“Awww, B, why’d you do that?”
“I am tired of your constant staring. Red Robin, do not throw that milkshake at Flash, else you’d be grounded.”
Yet another figure dropped from the vents, except this was the ceiling vent, and the figure was shorter and slimmer with a black cape with a red inside.
The newest figure named “Red Robin” slurped his milkshake and walked towards Batman.
“Where are the others?” Apparently, two weren’t enough, of course, it wasn’t! Two are never enough! How many are there????? Flash thought hysterically.
“The rest went back to the Batcave.” Came a distorted voice from the entrance of the room. The man standing in the doorway looked just about Batman’s height, with a similar muscle built. What worried the league the most though, were the guns and the Red Helmet. Batman never associated with people other than known heroes, so seeing an anti-hero fully armed in the Watchtower was something.
The Bats live in a CAVE? The Bats????? They are multiple?? More than three?wiuhfdsuvuoahwer9wroghreger. Anyway, Flash and green lantern shared some thoughts, but they mostly are blue-screening. Green Arrow is thinking. Mostly about the next playdate for his kids and Bat’s kids. Yes, he knew that Bruce was the infamous Batman, who do you think helped raise Roy? And then the Robins? And then Roy’s clone? And then multiple other kids?
Back to the original plot.
Superman looks constipated, Wonder Woman looks like Batman Hang the stars for her. She marches over to Batman, looks him in the eye, and says:
“I see you have a wonderful family, Batman. Would you care for introductions? I am Wonder Woman, young ones. It is nice to meet you.”
Batman grunts. The younger Bats take it as a “go ahead”.
The one in blue starts first. “I am Nightwing. Nice to meet you too, Wonder Woman.”
Then the one with the guns. “ Red Hood, nice to meet you.”
The one with the cape snorts an “as if” but introduces himself. “Red Robin. Nice to meet you too, Wonder Woman. Also, Hood, your Jacket’s here.”
Red Robin materializes a brown leather jacket from nowhere and hands it to Red Hood.
Flash passes out.
Green Lantern is muttering incoherently in the corner while rocking his body.
Green Arrow approaches Batman and asks about the next “playdate”.
Wonder Woman asks if it’s possible that she joins with her own young ones.
Superman passes out too.
If you’re wondering the playdate is held in Wayne Manor once every month. Now the family of Wonder Woman joins the Wayne-Queen monthly playdate/picnic.
Alfred is pleased with the new family dynamic.
