Young Justice - One Moment

Billionaire Meeting

AN: This is a meeting between the amazing Bruce Wayne and the slightly less amazing Tony Stark. And of course, the person we all came here for, DICK GRAYSON!

Tony Stark. You know, that guy that just so happens to be a billionaire. And that just so happens to have his parents murdered (Civil War by the way). And he just so happened to be part of a society of superheroes. Wow, look at all of those coincidences. Eh, but the one that really set him apart was the fact that he didn't have the one thing his opponent did. Other than amazing good looks, he couldn't keep a secret to save his life. And he didn't happen to have a ward that the press ate up like a steak dinner.

A certain Ironman sighed as Pepper guided him down the hallway, lecturing about how to not sock a certain Bruce Wayne at a certain Charity Ball that just so happened to be on that certain day. So many certains and yet he wasn't certain that he could hold his emotions back when it came to the billionaire playboy who just happened to be his top competitor in the technology world. An at this time, it just had to be Wayne Industries that happened to be ahead. But of course, Wayne didn't have the decency to let Tony sulk in the corner and wish to be doing anything besides walking up to the man he loathed most in the world. Well, other than Loki of course.

"Tony, just promise to behave okay?" Pepper sighed when she realized that her fiancee wasn't listening to her, so her brain made an executive decision and slapped his arm.

"Hey! That's abuse!" Tony yelped like a small child then stuck his tongue out at all the press that were staring at them strangely.

"You at least understand you can't storm out like a two year old again when Bruce says hi... right?"

"Hey, I try my best."

"Sure you do."

Tony puffed out air, looking slightly miffed as they finally reached the door to Wayne Manor. "How big are this guy's gardens?"

Pepper rolled her eyes. "Apparently not that big, you didn't faint like last time."

"I'll have you know, that was acting!" Tony protested in indigence.

"Hmm, hmm. Acting, sure."

"Hi!" They both looked up from their conversation to see a smallish boy, about 13, standing in front of them, his black hair slicked back and a taller red head next to him with equal troublemaker smirks written across their faces.

"Umm, hi. I'm-"

"Ooh! Let me guess!" The red head popped up, green eyes flashing with excitement. "Robert Downey Jr.?"

"Uh, no."

"Wow, that's funny. You look a lot like him."

"Alright kid, I don't know who you are but--"

Pepper sighed in exasperation and slapped him again. "Tony, be nice." Then she smiled sweetly and leaned down a bit to be more at their eye level. "Ignore this grump. He woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Along with every other morning too."

As Tony made a small noise in protest as the boys smiled slightly.

"I'm Dick Grayson." The shorter boy stated, then leaned over slightly, punched his friend then pranced away cackling like a maniac.

"DICKIE-BIRD!" The boy yelled. "I'm Wally AND I'M GOING TO KILL YOU GRAYSON!" Wally dashed off after bowing slightly mockingly.

Tony smirked then linked his arm with Pepper's. "Shall we continue, my lady?

"We shall."

"Tony! Good to see you, Stark!" Tony put on his best fake smile and shook hands with Bruce Wayne, the man of the night.

"You too, Bruce. How's business been--" They were broken off when Dick, at least he thought it was Dick, flipped over the table and scrambled to hide behind Bruce. Fricking. Wayne. Tony watched amused to see how the big man would react only to see him sigh, small bits of amusement in his eyes.

"What did you do to Wally this time?"

"May or may not have pushed him into that new fountain you got."

"I wonder why you guys are friends."

"Cause! I actually have no idea."

Tony watched the banter as it took place and was about to say something when the sound of gunshots broke across the soft music and all the small talk. Screams filled the room and people began to run and some were shot down, their blood running down their now lifeless bodies.

Men were stalking around the building, decked out in black, smashing windows and doors as they went and walking through as they could.

Pepper clutched his arm tighter and her attention stayed on how Dick was slowly edging into Bruce's arms and Wayne began to draw him in.

"Unless you want this little whelp shot through the head," A man dragged a struggling Wally in a choke hold, "And every child in this building, I suggest you bring everything valuable in this place."

One by one, kids were slowly ripped from their parent's arms and little cries for help made Pepper want to sob. But things became really real when a man walked up to Wayne and wrenched Dick from his grasp.

"Dick!"

"Dad!" Tony stared in shock as the boy wriggled as a gun was placed against his temple.

"Let him go. All of them." Bruce's voice shook slightly.

"Then you give me what I asked for-" Suddenly the kid in his grasp flipped up and smacked him in the face with his feet. That cause all the other kids to move into action. One by one, the kids judo-flipped, karate kicked and pressure pointed all the men. All while the great Ironman stared in shock. The kids walked up to Dick, fist bumped. The ones who really fought were laughing and discussing the lessons they had been taking.

"What. Was. That?" Tony said, his voice breaking. Dick turned at his voice.

"What you think us kids of billionaires and millionaires don't know how to defend ourselves? It's called self defense."

Bruce came up to his ward and sighed. "Was that maneuver 13? You need to straighten your legs a bit more on impact for a better hit. And what exactly was in all the packages you gave all those kids?"

"May or may not have been comm sets. Hey! It was fun. Now can I please go get ice cream?
