Soldiers Playground

Chapter 5

Jason pov-

The next week, I found myself in the batcave with my siblings/cousins/nephew.

Bruce was at the Watch Tower and would be there for a week, which meant we had 6 days left till his return. I was perfectly fine with that. 

Anyway, all of us were down in the cave looking for the old boxes of photos from Bruce's younger years so that we could make fun of him while he was away, and instead, we found something that not even Dick knew about, and he knew every inch of the cave.

Well, at least we all thought he did.

I'd been the one to accidentally find the hidden door, right after I had tripped and tried to catch myself on an old shelf, but, with gravity's terrible love of me, the shelf broke and ended up falling on me when I hit the floor. All that could be heard was the loud bangs and crashes, all of which made my head faintly pound with a headache.

"Jason?! Are you okay?" Babs called, and I moaned in pain. That was going to be a nasty bruise on my ribcage.

Great.

Coughing, I tried to push some of the stuff off me, and a few seconds later, I was free and Dick was helping me to my feet. "Little Wing, you good? What happened?" he asked. I dusted myself off, deliberately leaning on him. "I just tripped over something and I tried to catch myself with that shelf. Apparently it can't handle the weight of my awesomeness, 'cause it basically crumbled." I huffed, and my older brother snorted, just as the others came up to us. 

Roy frowned. "Hey, what's that? I've never seen that in the cave before." he said, pointing behind me. I turned to see what had caught his attention and frowned. It was a hidden door, and looked to have recently been opened over the past few weeks. Damian looked up at his adoptive father. "Papa, What does this door lead to? How come you never told me about this door?" he asked, and Dick looked so lost and confused that I would have thought it was funny if I hadn't been feeling the way he looked. 

"I... I don't know... I didn't know this even existed," he said, his voice trailing off as he went up to the door and began looking for the way on how to open it. Stephanie looked curious, and I looked at Roy. "Well, How much you want to bet that he has some kind of money stash in there? Maybe a weapon stash?" he asked. 

Tim snickered. "No, this is where he probably hid all of his most embarrassing photos and stuff, because he knew we'd come looking for them eventually." he laughed, and Duke joined. Then Steph grinned. "Ooo, no, no, maybe this is where he keeps his terrible suits and things of him that he would die before letting anyone see! OMG, I can imagine the LOOK on his face when we dig into it! It'll probably look something like this," she said, then morphed her face into a pretty damn good Bruce expression. It looked pained, panicked, and distressed to the max.

I cackled at the look and took a blackmail photo. "Oh my fucking God, Stephanieee, you're gonna summon your inner Bruce!" I laughed, everyone laughing with me. The blonde laughed harder, and Dick just shook his head. "How are any of you my younger siblings again?" he muttered, and I grabbed him and pulled him into a cuddly-bone crushing snug hug. "Aww, DiCkIeBiRd, YoU kNoW yOu LoVe Us ThOuGh!!! I'm YoUr FaVoRiTe NeXt To CaSsIe AnD yOu KnOw It!!!" I said, kissing his hair and not letting him out of my iron grip embrace as he sturggled to get free. 

"Hey, I should be the one hugging YOU!" he shrieked, then played a dirty move. 

The son of a bitch ran his fingers down my torso, wiggling them against my skin quickly. I gasped and squirmed, trying not to laugh and break my grip, but then he found my weak spot and my bearing fell and I burst out laughing. I felt my hands let go of my older brother, who grinned victoriously, and I smacked the back of his neck. "Cheater," I said, and he snickered as he returned to figuring out the door.
