Thirty Days (A Birdflash Fanfiction)

Day 10: With Animal Ears

"I blame you for this," Kid Flash muttered to Robin, scratching at one of the new ginger cat ears on top of his head. Robin was busy examining the locked door for weaknesses to bother responding. His own cat ears itched and twitched, but he resisted the temptation to scratch them. Honestly, he just preferred to pretend they didn't exist right at this moment.

Kid Flash leaned against the wall, watching Robin work. "Why do we always get the weird assignments?"

"Have you walked under a ladder recently?" Robin gently pushed the door to get a sense of its strength. There were no locks or doorknobs on this side, but the door itself seemed quite flimsy. "Hey, KF, feel like being a battering ram?" Robin could probably kick the door open himself, but they'd only get one shot at this before somebody noticed they were trying to escape.

"With pleasure," said Kid Flash, barrelling into the door hard enough to bash it open and propel himself into the hallway wall. He sat up, clutching one of his cat ears.

"Ouch." Robin helped him up. "Can you still hear okay?"

"Yeah, it's fine." His ears twitched, just as Robin heard footsteps. "Someone's coming."

Robin kicked down an armed guard as Kid Flash zoomed off to the other end of the hallway and took out another two. Robin grabbed a set of keys and opened the nearest door. He grabbed his utility belt and put it back on.

"Time to get out of here," he said, snapping the buckle into place.

Kid Flash scratched one of Robin's ears. "You look pretty cute as a kitten."

Robin batted his hand away. "Focus, KF. You can scratch my ears as much as you like once we're out of here."

"You're gonna run to Zatanna as soon as we're out of here," Kid Flash said, following Robin out of the corridor.

"And you won't?"

"Point taken. Now let's take out a wizard."
