Batman, Robin and their butler Alfred were waiting for the kids.

"How are you feeling, Robin?" said Batman.

"Weird. That gas must have done something to my stomach because I just feel a slight queasiness for a split second every five minutes" said Robin.

"How strange. I hope those kids get here soon. They might have some idea" said Batman.

"Very wise, Master Batman. Doubtless the children wouldn't know the answer in no time" said Alfred.

The kids then slid down the Bat Poles.

"Hot diggity! Here they come now" said Robin.

The kids touched down and approached their friends.

"What took you so long?" said Batman.

"We had separation issues. Some of us have more than one job" said Calvin.

"How lovely to see the three of you. Especially after your acting camp was in such a nasty snare" said Alfred.

"It was more than a nasty snare, Alfred" said Charles Wallace.

"And now, our biggest concern is finding what the Penguin did to Robin" said Calvin.

"Yes indeed, Master Calvin. He's been having odd sensations lately" said Alfred.

"We knew he wasn't fine" said Sam.

"Robin, would you lay back please?" said Calvin.

Robin did as he was told.

"Sam. Would you please do what Murray did last night?" said Calvin.

"Me? I'm not gonna do that. And it didn't work the last time" said Sam.

"Better you than us" said Charles Wallace.

Sam did as she was told and nothing happened.

"I still say it doesn't work" she said.

"Hmm. Robin, how would you describe these odd sensations you've been having?" said Charles Wallace.

"Well, I'd just feel queasy for a minute or so and then it stops" said Robin.

"What's the time span between them? Huh?" said Calvin.

"I dunno. Five minutes?" said Robin.

He put his hand on his belly and said "It's happening again".

"Gawrsh, Robin" said Sam.

"Don't you have a Batgadget that'll find this out, Batman?" said Charles Wallace.

"I do. But we rarely need it" said Batman.

"Well, we need it this time" said Calvin.

"Alfred. Would you prepare this rarely needed gadget if you know what it is?" said Sam.

"My pleasure, madam" said Alfred.
