Pillows- Bat Family Short Stories #1

/Pillows\

Dick lay in bed, tiredly blinking. He couldn't go to sleep, he can't say why, but he just couldn't.

"Grayson," said a voice coming from his door.

Dick looked up, and met eyes with his little brother, Damian, "Yeah, Dami?"

Damian frowned, "I can't sleep," he informed embarrassedly. "That makes two of us then," chuckled out Dick.

The older boy sat up and patted the empty spot next to him. Damian slowly trudged towards the bed and sat next to his brother.

Dick yawned tiredly, "What do you want to do?" he asked.

Damian shrugged as he crawled to the other side of the bed, and sitting so he was facing Dick, "I thought you'd have an idea, because, ya' know...." Dick watched as his little brother fumbled for a word, "Because I have night terrors," he finished for him. Damian looked at him for a few moments before responding with a simple, "Yeah."

Awkward silence held in the air.

"Well, I don't have an idea. Why don't you ask Bruce, Tim, Alfred, or maybe Steph?" suggested Dick.

"Father is busy in his study, Drake is doing his homework because he didn't do it before, Pennyworth is visiting England, and Brown is a girl," listed Damian.

"Because Steph is a girl?" echoed Dick in confusion. Damian nodded.

Dick smirked deviously, "You afraid of girls?"

That caught Damian off guard. The former assassin's face flushed, "N-no! They have cooties!" Damian said, defending himself.

"Riiiight. So your scared of girls because they have cooties?" Dick asked. 

"No! I'm not scared of them at all!"

"Alrighty then, I'll be sure to tell Cass that," said the oldest brother casually.

All color drowned from Damian's face. In Damian's opinion, Cassandra was extremely creepy.

Dick began to stand up.

"Don't you dare tell her," growled Damian.

"I'm going~," said Dick in a sing song voice as he slowly stood up.

"No!" yelled Damian, grabbing the nearest thing and throwing it at Dick.

'Pompf!' went the object Damian threw at the other as it hit Dick.

A pillow.

Dick struggled to keep in a laugh, "Shut up, Grayson," Damian mumbled in embarrassment. Dick burst out laughing.

Damian took another pillow and threw it at the other again. This time, Dick tripped over the other pillow, and fell on the ground. It was Damian's turn to laugh.

Dick stood up swiftly and threw the pillow at Damian silencing him.

A few moments of silence.

A devious smile crept on both of the brother's faces.

"Get Jay?" asked Dick.

"Get Jay," echoed Damian in agreement.

The two picked up a pillow each and made their way down the empty and dark hallways, stopping at Jason's door.

Dick knocked on his door, and then again a few moments later. "What do you WANT?!" yelled Jason from the other side of the door. Dick knocked on the door again, louder. "I'm COMING," roared Jason's voice. 

Angry footsteps followed his raged yell, and forcefully opened the door, "What do you want-?!" he was cut off when Dick and Damian hit him with their pillows, "WHAT THE HELL?!" yelled out Jason in confusion when he stood up.

Dick and Damian smiled at him with innocent looks, "Yeeees?" Dick asked.

Jason's eyes burned with playfulness and anger, "You little-" he turned around to grab his pillow eruptly, "YOU TWO HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO RUN BEFORE I KICK YOUR BUTTS!!!" 

Damian and Dick squeaked out loudly in surprise and took off running.

"ONE, TWO, THREE, FIVE!" Jason yelled out.

"You skipped four!" Dick shouted back at him. "Who cares about four?" Damian asked.

"EXACTLY!" Jason shouted, "NOW GIVE UP NOW OR THERE CAN AND WILL BE CONSEQUENCES!"

"Never!" Dick and Damian yelled in union.

The trio ran through the halls, making so much noise that they thought they would wake the whole city.

That's when Dick and Damian crashed into Stephanie, "Gah! What are you two doing?!" she yelped.

Before the two could awnser Jason crashed into them aswell, "Ow! Are you serious, Jay?!" Stephanie yowled.

Damian screeched, and slammed his pillow against Jason's face. It was Jason's turn to screech.

Dick smiled at Stephanie, "Welcome to the pillow fight," he welcomed, handing her a pillow. She took it confusingly, and Dick wasted no time to hit her with his own pillow, "Hey!!!! DICK YOU DICK!!!" She screeched.

Dick turned around and ran, followed by Damian, Jason, and now Stephanie.

They entered the living room, where Tim was doing his homework. "In coming!" yelled out Jason in warning just as they jumped out at Tim. Tim yelled in surprise when the four attacked him with.... pillows? 

Tim grabbed the couch's pillow on instinct and shoved it against Dick's face, "Nyuuuuuu! Staph!" Tim pleaded playfully as they continued to attack him. Tim removed his pillow from Dick and hit Damian with it, "Hey!" the former assassin yelled before aimlessly throwing his own pillow at Stephanie. 

"What kind of a throw was that?!" questioned Jason while smirking. "Shut up!" Damian yelled at Jason just before Stephanie threw back his pillow at him, three times the strength that Damian threw it.

This caused Damian to crash into Tim. 

"Whoa!" they helped in union.

Steph smirked in triumph, though it was replaced with shock when Jason lunged at her, "Eep!" she squeaked out.

Dick hit Jason forcefully on the back, making both Stephanie and him to fall. 

"Hahaha!" Dick laughed, "victory!"

Suddenly, a pillow hit the back of his head. Dick turned around and his eyes widened in surprise when he was met with Cassandra throwing a bunch of mini pillows at him, "Cass!" he shouted out as he was bombarded by the pillows.

At this time, everyone was up and running.

Dick in front, then Damian, Jason, Stephanie, Tim, and Cassandra.

"Grayson, wait up!"

"I'm gonna get you for hitting me in the back with a pillow!" 

"Cass has good aim!"

"Don't you have homework?!"

"I'll do it later!"

"I need more pillows..."

"What are you guys doing?"

The six turned over to the questioner.

Bruce.

Dick smiled sheepishly, "Having a pillow fight?" Bruce eyed the pillows the six held firmly.

"Well, I don't need any disturbance right now. So please DON'T have a pillow fight right now," pleaded Bruce.

A few silent moments pasted before Damian nodded, "Yes father..."

Bruce nodded, and turned around. Just as he did, he was bombarded with pillows. Bruce turned around eruptly.

Dick, Damian, Jason, Tim, Cassandra, and Stephanie smiled innocently.

"...Right after this round," finished Damian.

Bruce's shocked face slowly formed into a challenging one, "You don't know what your going against," he informed.

And that was a normal night for the Bat Clan.
