Batman slumped into his seat at the Watchtower, looking at every single member, who was staring back at him.
"Alright," Superman said, clapping his hands to get their attention, which Batman was very glad for; he was starting to feel uncomfortable, and he was Batman, for goddamn's sake! "Let's put in your reports. I'll start with mine."
As the Man of Steel launched into a lengthy report about his recent fight with Lex Luthor at Metropolis, Batman silently thought about Tony and his family. He had been keeping his identity secret from them; would they freak out if they found out?...
"Batman? Batman?" Superman's voice cut through his thoughts. "Are you OK?"
He grumbled. "I'm fine."
"Clark was calling you for a few moments now," Wonder Woman noted. "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
She shrugged, but still looked concerned. Superman also had furrowed brows etched on his face, but nevertheless, he still continued, "Batman, would you please read out your report? How was Gotham in the last 2 weeks?"
Batman stood up and told them: "Joker's been inactive, but all the other minor villains have been making a lot of robberies. My sidekicks and I recovered almost 2.7 million dollars from different banks in the same district last month."
"Whoa," Green Lantern gasped.
"Who were those villains?" Green Arrow asked.
"Mostly low-grade villains," Batman answered. "Riddler, Kite Man, Condiment King-"
"Wait. You have a villain called Condiment King?"
Everyone turned to Flash. "Yes, what's the matter?" Batman raised an eyebrow.
Flash was silent for a moment before he burst into laughter. "Oh my god, haha..."
"This is no laughing joke," Batman said. "Condiment King is still a villain. Plus, he can be a real pain in the neck."
"How?" Wonder Woman was eager to hear it.
"His weapons. The whole district smelled like mustard for an entire week."
The Watchtower erupted with laughter; Flash fell off his chair, Green Arrow was clutching his stomach, Wonder Woman giggled, and Superman managed to suppress a snort.
Batman was silent for the entire time, until they stopped. "Are you done?"
"Yes, yes," Superman cleared his throat. "The villains may seem ridiculous, but Batman, you have done a good job preventing them stealing a large amount of money."
Batman nodded and sat down.
A fleeting figure raced through the empty midnight streets of Gotham, face covered by a hood and mask, jumping from roof to roof; webs sprung from a device from a gloved hand with spiderweb patterns, and another figure swung around like a monkey; a robot-like human flew across the starless sky, red-and-gold armor glinting in the moonlight.
All of them arrived at a shabby apartment, with the red-costumed one arriving first. "I win!"
"This isn't a game," the armor-clad man said, after stopping his thrusters and landing on the ground perfectly.
"Ha," the last one to arrive laughed at the first getting berated.
"What's the password again?"
The shorter figure went forward, face unseen by the other two, and said to an intercom, 'Iron Man sucks.'
