Deathstroke's Shadow: One Shots

Uh...

Dick and Danny were currently sitting Dick's room of Mount Justice, both working of finishing up some homework since they had some downtime and both didn't want to benched from patrol that night due to unfinished homework. Bruce threatened to bench them since Danny definitely did not lie to him about finishing it last time. And the next day Bruce totally didn't get an email from his teacher saying Danny skipped homework for the fifth time in a row... that week. So now because that totally didn't happen, Bruce now checks both of their work to ensure they do it on time.

"Hey, Dick?" 

"Mhm?" Dick sounded to show he was half listening. Though he never lifted his head out of his book.

"What does 'kink' mean?" 

Dick dropped his book to the ground and shot his head up to his brother, "I'm sorry, what does what mean?" He asked to make sure he heard right.

"What does 'kink' mean? Danny asked again innocently, unsure why his brother reacted the way he just did.

"W-where did you hear that word?" Dick stumbled over his words, panicked at just what to say.

"From Wally when he and Barry were over a couple days ago, he and Barry were talking about something and mentioned 'kink'. I've been wondering what it meant." Danny replied with a shrug.

"You know, I'm not to sure. I think we should go find Wally and ask him." Dick stated with a small smirk.

"Okay!" Danny chirped.

He hopped off the bed and changed into his Phantom form before he proceeded to skip (yes, skip) happily to the door. Dick was quick to put on his dark sunglasses and run after his brother. There was no way in all of hell he was missing this. 

Danny continued to skip down the hall till he came to the living room/ kitchen area. In there was Artemis and Conner watching TV, surprisingly not static, Kaldur was reading, M'gann was in the kitchen trying out a cookie recipe again, and of course, Wally was sitting at the kitchen counter watching her make them so he could be the first to try (cough*steal all of them*cough) the cookies when they came out of the oven. 

"Hey, Wally?" Danny asked, his voice portraying so much innocence it almost made Dick want to laugh. Danny took a seat beside Wally at the counter, looking up at him with wide innocent eyes. 

"What's up, DP?"

"What does 'kink' mean?" 

A crash proceeded in response from M'gann dropping the cookie sheet in surprise. The TV was quick to be turned off, and even Kaldur dropped his book. All eyes were on Danny, mouths agape.

"Uh..." Was Wally's brilliant response, "where did you hear that?" 

"From you a couple days ago when you and Flash were talking. I didn't hear everything, but you mentioned the work 'kink' when you were mentioning something about you and Robin." Danny explained. "I asked Robin, but he said he didn't know and to ask you."

Okay, Danny didn't explain that little detail to Dick. Dick was now a lot more proud of himself for coming up with this little piece of revenge for even talking to Barry about their relationship that way.

Wally looked to Dick for help, but as expected Dick shook his head, giving him the 'this is all on you' look.

"Um... I was asking Barry about something and uh... you know, I'm not quite entirely sure myself. I think you need to ask him this question."

Danny pouted, upset he'd have to ask someone else again. Just to find his answer.

Danny walked over to the zeta tubes and input the code for the watchtower, wanting to get his answer. Dick was close to follow right behind him, dragging his boyfriend along behind him. If he had to suffer the potential threat of Batman being there when Danny interrupted the league's meeting, so did Wally. 

***

"Robin - B01, Kid Flash - B-02, Phantom B-11." 

The three were announced into the Watchtower. Phantom was quick to float his way in the direction of the Justice Hall where he was sure he'd find Flash. And probably every other league member that had to be present for the meeting.

Dick and Wally were quick to chase after the younger, mostly because they did not want to miss what was about to ensue. And also partially to make sure Batman didn't kill Flash. Dick knew Bruce's no kill rule better then anyone. He knew Bruce wouldn't kill Barry, but seriously harming him for inadvertently accidentally teaching Danny a new word and talking to Wally about this particular subject? Yeah, without his help the Flash may just end up in the medical wing. 

Danny found his way to the meeting room. Him and the older two could hear mumbled voices from the other side, proving to them the meeting  was still taking place. That didn't seem to deter Danny though as he pushed the doors open.

The voices suddenly stopped as the doors opened and seeing the three enter into the room.

Batman was quick to stand up at the appearance of his two wards, "Phantom, Robin, is everything okay?" 

"Oh, everything is fine. Though Phantom has a question to ask Barry that he just really couldn't wait to ask." Dick answered with a slight upturn of his lips in amusement. Which Batman no doubt caught. Dick was cautious to use Danny's hero name as not all leaguers present knew their identity.

"What does 'kink' mean?" Phantom asked in front of leaguer present. His eyes were wide with curiosity and innocence, letting everyone know this wasn't a joke. "I've asked Robin and he said he didn't know and to ask Wally, though Wally didn't know either and said I should ask Barry." Phantom explained, with the slightest hint of annoyance. 

All leaguers were stunned into silence and stared at Phantom, then to Flash, quite unsure of what to make of the situation. 

Batman cleared his throat as he tried not to show the shock, "where did you hear that word?" He asked cautiously, though already suspecting the answer since it was Flash that Wally suggested he asked.

"Ugh!" Phantom sighed in annoyance. "I overheard it from Wally when he was talking to Barry about something between him and Robin."

A good part of the league tried their best to hide their doubled shocked states as all eyes went to Flash. Flash was stunned into silence as his mouth dropped agape. He dared a small glance in the Dark Knight's direction. Though he really wished he hadn't. He really wasn't sure if he'd survive the night. 

"Uh, it means.... um... uh..." Barry tried.

The leaguers tried their best to cover their amusement at this point. This had to be, hands down, the most entertaining meeting in a very long time.

"Kink means when something has a bend in it." Batman answered, wanting to put an end to this.

"Oh, Okay." Danny nodded in response, "so, like, for example if Dick's stick was bent, it would be considered a 'kink'?" 

Most of the league lost it, including Dick. They couldn't even try to keep a straight face anymore. Though Dick tried his best. He really did. And Batman was trying his best to put this to rest, but it could have gone better. Dick absolutely lost it though, he was almost doubled over on the ground from laughing so hard.

"You know what, 'kink' is a very bad word. And we never say it." 

"Oh..." Danny looked around, confused why everyone was laughing then. Was saying a bad word that funny? Should he say it more often to get people to laugh? 

'You know, my teachers could use a good laugh. Maybe I should say the word in front of them.' Danny thought. 

Dick, who started to sober up, looked over to his brother, seeing the wheels turning in his head. And he knew exactly what his brother was thinking. His laughter died down completely, "Phantom, no. You are not using that word anywhere else."

"Phantom, yes." Danny stated and nodded his head as a giant grin spread across his face.

AN: Phantom, yes. 

Okay, this was a shorter fun one for me to write. I'm still working on the three parter for the rest of the bat brothers to come in. I've hit a bit of writer's block with them though as I'm not sure quite what to do with it just yet. So figured I'd put it on hold and work on something else a bit more fun for the time being. Hope you enjoyed and will see you next time :)
