Meeting Booster Gold
Booster Gold sat in the Watchtower monitor room watching the rest of world and her heroes taking care of her. Skeets was off researching more about the 21st century and comparing it to his 25th century knowledge. Coming to the 21st century was still a somewhat recent thing for Booster and this was harder then he thought it would be - he knew every major city had its hero, except for Bludhaven and that was just out of the question. There was only one hero crazy enough for that city and he didn't quite exist yet.
Booster was watching the screen for something, anything that might require a hero that wasn't already being taken care of. The tower was empty except for him and maybe Red Tornado, but that didn't mean much. Booster then sighed, seeing Red on the screen in front of him dealing with an earthquake in Japan, where most the rest of the League was. At least he wasn't on crowd control.
Suddenly there was an announcement on the coms, announcing the arrivals of Batman and Robin. The Dynamic Duo, legends in the 25th century. Turning, he watched Batman walking into the room with Robin in his arms.
"Where is Superman?" Batman asked.
"Off-world, with the Green Lanterns, Martian Manhunter, and Supergirl" Booster said.
"Wonder Woman?"
"With the rest of the League in Japan. Earthquakes. Why aren't you there?"
"Arkham break-out, I would be in Japan if all of Gotham wasn't a risk. Only you are here?" Batman asked. Booster nodded. "I need you to watch Robin," at that the little boy stirred in Batman's arms.
"Batman?" Robin asked looking up at his mentor. "What are we doing in the Watchtower and…" he turned to see Booster Gold. "Booster Gold!" he said in awe.
"You know who I am?"
"He knows all League members," Batman said. "I need you to watch Robin, get him in bed by 10, he's been sick so he needs his rest."
"Why can't I come with you? I can help put Joker away," Robin coughed.
"You are sick," Batman said. "And Agent A can't watch you tonight, he's away," Robin looked up at him and sniffed. "Booster Gold will watch you - you said you wanted to meet him."
"I never agreed to…" Booster started.
"You have nothing better to do, most League members have watched Robin, pull your weight."
"But I…" Batman gently handed Robin to Booster.
"If anything happens to him, you better believe you will be on crowd control and monitor duty for the next year," Batman growled.
"Batman! Don't leave!" Robin started to cry, reaching out for Batman. To Booster's surprise he saw Batman soften.
"I'll be back, little bird, I promise," Batman said patting him on the head. Robin nodded and sniffed. "Get some rest, maybe Booster Gold has some stories to tell you," he added.
"You have stories?" Robin asked, his domino mask's white widening. Booster felt himself melting at the sight of the small boy.
"Yes?" he said. "I can watch him, Skeets and I have nothing else to do, this will be fun," Booster smiled. Batman nodded and looked at Robin, something seemed to transpire between them, and then Batman left.
