When Bruce called Diana Prince AKA Wonder Woman asking her to babysit his ward Dick Grayson while he was at a business meeting and Alfred was in England visiting relatives, she was excited. Surprised, as Alfred was normally always around, but when she asked about that she found he was visiting an old friend in England. She was excited to meet the kid, after all she had heard plenty about the cute little boy from Superman and Green Arrow but had yet to actually meet him herself.

She arrived at the manor in the early afternoon. When Bruce opened one of the double doors he was dressed in a work suit and tie. She almost squealed. Almost. She was after all a warrior Princess.

Hidden half behind Bruce and clutching one of his trouser legs was a small six year old with black hair and unnaturally big blue eyes. He wore bright pyjamas and to add to the cute look, had a little Batman teddy in his other hand.

"Dick, this is Diana a friend... Diana this is Dick my ward." He introduced the pair.

Bruce explained be would be back in seven hours at eight o'clock.

He leaned down and whispered something in Dick's ear before giving him a quick hug. He nodded goodbye to the Amazon and walked out the door leaving the two alone.

"Are you Wonder Woman?" He asked but it sounded more like a statement.

"How did you know?" She asked curiously thinking Batman might had told him.

"Bruce didn't tell me, if that is what you are thinking. I hacked the Justice League's system. You really need to update it. I already told Superman and Batman and probably Green Arrow at some point. It was child's play to get in and see all your identities and all your other secrets."

She could only stare in shock at the little boy.

"So...What do you want to do?" She asked not really knowing what normal kids did. She had agreed to babysit him so she could meet him but had made the mistake of not actually thinking past that. She had no idea how to babysit a kid, her only contact with children was usually brief during missions when she was saving them. She wasn't normally the responsible adult.

"Can we play hide 'n' seek, Miss Diana." He looked up at her with his big blue eyes widening and his head tilting to the side, a brilliant innocent puppy dog look.

He was simply adorable.

"Of course and Dick just call me Diana."

"Ok, you count to twenty and I'll hide." He was practically bouncing up and down with excitement.

She turned around and started counting slowly wanting to give the boy lots of time to hide.

As she finished she turned around to face an empty hall and set of down the corridor believing this would be easy. She dealt with criminals as a day job, how hard could it be to look after a small child for 8 hours?

Six hours later and she could not find Dick.

She had searched every room, corridor and corner (apart from the Bat Cave which she couldn't find) and had still found nothing. She had even resorted to begging and bribery, walking through the seemingly endless corridors shouting out promises of extra homework and begging him to reveal himself before Bruce found out.

After all what kind of kid did not want to do homework? She was a brilliant babysitter (bar the whole losing the child she was supposed to be looking after thing).

But nothing worked.

And Bruce got home in an hour.

So she decided to use her last idea or rather call her last hope of surviving the wrath of Daddy Bats.

Twenty five minutes later and the door bell rang.

When Diana opened it she was faced with a worried looking Black Canary AKA Dinah Lance in civilian clothes.

She let her in thanking her for arriving so quickly. Dinah had much more experience with children than she did and was her last chance to find the missing child before Bruce got home. They both made their way into the main hall underneath the grand chandelier.

"What's the emergency?" Dinah asked, looking around. Diana had sounded panicked over the phone when she asked her to come but hadn't actually explained anything.

"I may have lost Bruce's ward Dick Grayson." She managed to reply sounding embarrassed.

"How?" Dinah asked worried for her friends life but also curious. She had also heard a lot about the boy (Neither Clark nor Oliver would shut up about it) and she really wanted to meet him. Just not like this.

"We were playing hide 'n' seek and now I cant find him."

"How long have you been playing?"

"Six and a half hours and Bruce is back in half an hour." Diana replied checking the clock.

"What!"

"Yeah."

After getting over her shock, they both started to run round the manor checking anywhere the little kid could be. Five minutes before Bruce got back and they were both back in the main hall when Dinah spotted a flash of colour up on the chandelier.

She stood up on her toes trying to get a better view. She shouted to Diana pointing up at the chandelier. "Up there, Diana!" It wasn't anywhere near the volume of her Canary scream but it was enough to alert Diana and startle Dick who had fallen asleep up on the chandelier over three hours ago when he had given up on Diana finding him.

To both women's horror the boy fell off the chandelier and their only thought was that both Bruce was going to kill them for killing his ward. But to their relief he flipped with cat-like grace and landed perfectly unharmed on his feet with a smile on his face still clutching his Batman teddy bear.

"Hi! You must be Dinah Lance AKA Black Canary."

She would only find out later about how the boy had hacked the Justice League.

She only had a moment to bathe in his adorable-ness before the door was swung open letting in a tired Bruce.

"How was your day Dick?" Asked Bruce not even looking surprised to see Dinah standing next to Diana.

The pair's only thought was 'we're dead'.

"I had lots of fun with aunt Diana and aunt Dinah, Bruce. Can they look after me again?" He asked with his blue eyes staring up at his foster dad.

The pair let out a silent breath they didn't even know they were holding and both had a warm feeling after being called aunt.

And both loved the feeling.

Bruce all but shoved the pair out the door but not before whispering just quietly enough for only the two of them to hear. "Lose my son again and I will make you wish you were never born."

Both gulped in fear.

Bruce could be very scary, even to grown heroes.

But both went away anticipating the next time they would get to see the adorable little kid.
