Shared Dreams (A Young Justice One-Shot)

Shared Dreams

"Ugh! That mission took forever!" Wally whined. "Why can't Belle Rev just do their job and keep the prisoners from escaping every two seconds!"

Artemis laughed before letting out a yawn. "For once in my life..." another yawn. "I think I agree with Baywatch."

"The prison is trying their hardest." Aqualad defended tiredly. "They can't help that the inmates keep getting smarter and are finding new ways to cheat the system."

"It's the same thing with Arkham." Even Robin hid a small yawn behind his gloved hand. "Batman and I keep apprehending villains, but they just keep escaping."

"I don't know about the rest of you..." Conner let out the biggest yawn yet. "but I'm tired. I'm going to bed."

"Same here." Zatanna could barely keep her eyes open.

Wally looked down at his phone. "Is it that late already?! Man, I'm too tired to head home. I think I'm just going to stay here."

"Why don't you all stay here?" Megan said with a smile. "It's too late to be heading home now."

Artemis nodded, "That sounds good to me. I think I'd pass out if I tried to go home now."

"Sounds good to me too." Robin pulled out his phone. "Let me just texts Bats..."

They talked for a bit longer before everyone went their separate ways.

Robin walked into his room and closed the door. Once he had thrown the lock, he ripped his mask off his face and rubbed his eyes. "I'm so tired." He mumbled. He debated about taking a shower now or waiting until the morning.

He sighed and walked into the small bathroom. He was sweaty and dirty after the mission. If he didn't take a shower now, he would wake up feeling gross in the morning. He quickly stripped himself of his costume and stepped onto the cold tile. He turned the nob, and steaming water poured onto his sour muscles. He let out a deep sigh and let the water slip through his hair. This had been a good idea.

Once he was finished, he turned the nob and stepped out of the shower. He grabbed a towel from under the sink and rubbed the fluffy material over his hair. He then finished drying off and walked into his bedroom. He pulled out a pair of pajamas from his dresser and slipped them on.

Alfred had gotten him them for Christmas last year. The pants were black and decorated with tiny bats. The shirt had a large Bat symbol across his chest. Bruce had thought they were hilarious.

Dick walked over to his bed and collapsed into its softness. As an afterthought, he pulled the covers over his shoulders. He flicked off the lamp on his nightstand, and immediately fell asleep. Man, he was tired...

"Welcome Gotham City to the Haley International Traveling Circus! Where the world of the center ring, is your oyster. And here are our most prized pearls... the Flying Graysons! Watch as the perform their spectacular act, all without the safety of a net!"

A man jumped from a platform and grabbed onto the bar of the trapeze. He did several flips and twists, before jumping to the next bar. He twisted his body, so he was now hanging on to bar by his knees. He gave a quick wave to the audience before gesturing to the platform.

At that moment a woman and young boy stepped up and waved to the crowd. The woman gave the boy a quick hug before he too jumped from their ledge. He grabbed onto the first bar, spun, and flipped across the air into his father's arms. He swung him over to a platform on the other side.

Next, the man positioned himself so that he is holding onto the bar once again. He swung back and forth to build up momentum. The woman also jumped from her platform and mirrored his movements. Then, they released the bar and flipped through the air four times. The woman flipped to the bar her husband had been on, and he landed on hers. She went on to land on the platform with her son.
