The Bat Pets

Hmm, Peace

This is a filler chapter of a random short idea. Hope you still like it!

It was a quiet afternoon in the manor. The homework had been done, the cleaning was finished, and the cases were finally completed.

It was a warm afternoon, nothing had to be done. The sun sent its warm rays through the windows and onto the carpet, keeping the manor lit without lights.

A soft early summer breeze was blowing through the green grass and through the open windows of the Tim's bedroom.

Earlier that morning he had cleaned and aired out his room when he finally finished closing the cases. Even his coffee pot was cleaned out.

Everything was peaceful.

Bruce came out of his office and marveled at the silence. Normally there would be some sort of sound. Tim's coffee pot, Alfred's clinking dishes as he washed them, Damian's sword as he trained, the dog's collars as they ran down the halls but today was silent except for the distant sound of birds outside the manor.

He wondered where his family was, why was it so peaceful in the manor?

First he walked uo the stairs and to Tim's room.

To his surprise Tim wasn't there. Tim never left his room unless it was for food or patrol. Even more of a shock was its tidiness.

He decided to look for Damian but once more his son wasn't in his room. None of the animals were except for the fish and sleeping snake.

Bruce shook his head and furrowed his brows in confusion before turning. Was Damian taking tjem to the park? He just went, would he go again already?

"Alfred!" Bruce called.

No one answered and it left Bruce even more perplexed then before. What was happening? Alfred always came at his call.

This was very strange, very very strange.

He would have started to think that his entire family was kidnapped and this was some sort of sign that they were taken by aliens who then proceeded to clean the house?

Bruce walked throughout the entire manor, looking for his sons and Alfred. He even checked the batcave but again, they were no where to be found.

He was about to call Dick to tell him that the family was kidnapped when he heard a faint yell.

His dad panic kicked in and he bolted to the front door. The sound got louder as he stepped outside.

The yelling didn't sound distressed but more instructive. Bruce was so distracted he didn't even notice the two vehicles in the driveway.

When he rounded the side of the mansion he saw, first, the dogs running around the yard before looping back to run around the boys who were all running around, throwing a football to each other while yelling. It wasn't just the boys but also Kon, Roy, Jon, Wally, and Clark. (Superboy, Arsenal, Jon, Kid flash, Superman). Alfred and Louis were set up with foldable chairs, a table, lemonade, a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen as they watched.

Bruce stared for a few moments as he watched Dick throw a ball to Jason who turned and chucked it right into Jon's face who ended up falling over from the impact. Jason continued to turn and look like he was distracted with something else.

Clark noticed Bruce first and waved him over.

"Oh hey Bruce! Your boys invited me to a game of football! You should join." he said when Bruce walked over.

Bruce looked at everyone and saw Jon who was battling Titan for the ball and Damian who was telling Jon that he just had to tell Titan to "leave it".

Dick jogged over and said "Yeah Bruce, you should come play with us."

Everyone looked at him and Bruce raised an eyebrow "This is what you've been doing all afternoon?"

Tim scoffed "Ha, no. We first tried to play baseball"

"Tried?" Bruce asked.

Kon crossed his arms and said "The dogs got to the ball before we could"

Jon finally got the ball from Titan and had to fly up to keep it away from his excited jaws.

"I see" Bruce said

"Damian, you should-" Jason starts

"If you should even suggest I train a dog to stop playing with a ball then I will leave glass in your food." Damian snapped.

Jason closed his mouth and muttered "That's not what I was going to say."

"Then by all means share with me a task that I should do." Damian rebuked.

Jason rolled his eyes and grumbled something but Bruce didn't hear it.

"So are you going to play?" Louis called behind him.

He looked back and finally turned "Let me change."

Some cheered as Bruce jogged off but returned a few minutes later in shorts and less formal attire.

"Okay, let's get in teams, no superpowers!" Tim called.

Damian rolled his eyes "We could beat them even with their superpowers."

"Nuh uh!" Jon exclaimed.

Wally smiled and said "So, what are the teams?"

"How about Alfred and Louis choose?" Dick suggests.

Everyone turns to Alfred and Loius who are sunbathing together.

Loius lifts her sunglasses and looks at Alfred.

"Should I choose my first man?" She asked.

Alfred sat up and said "Go right ahead miss Loius."

Louis smiled and said "Okay, I want Jon to be the team captain of my team."

Alfred looked over everyone and said "I'll take Master Clark for mine"

They separated everyone and the teams ended with:

Jon, Dick, Roy, Kon, and Bruce on one team and Tim, Clark, Damian, Wally, and Jason on the other.

With Bruce very strategic plans they won many, but strength and agility was on the other.

Alfred and Louis refereed while talking about this and that.

The whole time Titan and Titus ran around their feet, barking and trying to get the ball.

At one point Titus had jumped up and got the ball. Damian then proceeded to get him to run across the field and to the other side's base.

There was a discussion if that was cheating or not.

"It's not cheating! He's on our team, you can have Titan" Wally said.

Jon scowled "He doesn't listen to me! He's not a good teammate."

"Okay, okay, let's not argue. We all know if it's cheating or not" Bruce said.

"And it isn't" Clark said.

Bruce frowned at him "Yes it is,"

"You're only saying that because you're on the opposite team" Clark said.

Bruce crossed his arms with a forced smile "Funny, I was about to sya the same thing."

Alfred called it cheating but Louis said the point shouldn't go to either party.

The afternoon was spent with the ball until Titan got ahold of the ball and popped a hole in it to where they decided to call quits.

Sorry this is so late, completely forgot about it actually😅 Anyway, thanks for reading!
