Hiya everyone! Hope you all are staying safe! I know that this is a hard time for all of us, but we can get through this! This is my first time ever writing one-shots so my writing is probably going to be really crappy. Comments would really be appreciated!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from DC Comics, no matter how much I wish I did. I do own the plot though.

"Listen up team. We didn't come for a playdate. This," Dick gestured around to the rest of them, "Is it. This is our final stand. We have stood together as comrades for as long as I can remember. Death-"

"Stop being so dramatic. It's a game of paintball, not the end of the world drama queen." Artemis rolled her eyes at his antics. He could be too dramatic at times.

"Don't you mean drama king?"

Dick shot a glare at the two girls, quickly silencing them.

"Now, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted-"

"Do we really need this long of a speech?" Zatanna questioned.

"Zeeee. Work with me here." Dick sighed morsley before, once again, trying to continue,"Just shut up and listen. We need to- Wally. Are you even trying to listen?"

The three of them turned to see Wally stuffing himself with food. Giving Dick a sheepish grin, he turned around to face the rest of the team.

Dick glared at the three of them before continuing, "No more interruptions. As I was saying, we can't underestimate the other team. Kaldur is their leader, so we have to be extra careful. This place is a freakin mountain, we use it to our advantage. If worst comes to worst, we meet up at the nest. Understood?" The three of them nodded. He took that as his cue to continue, "If we plan this out, we might just win this thing."

At this, Zatanna started snickering. Dick turned his glare at her. She only raised an eyebrow in response. He sighed, pinching his nose before focusing his attention on his team. "Okay, here's the plan"

The three listened to his plan, nodding to acknowledge their roles. As he finished, the four of them looked at each other with smirks gracing their faces. Robin let out his famous cackle as he and Artemis disappeared into the rafters. Zatanna took this as her cue to cast her glamour charm while Wally sped off. The other team was going down hard.

*About a half hour later*

Wally couldn't help but swell in pride as he saw Dick's plan in action. By now, they had managed to take out Raquel, Conner, and Kaldur. Surprisingly enough, it was M'gann that was causing the most difficulties. She had managed to take out Artemis and had already given Zatanna and Wally a few close calls. 'Huh. Who would've thought Megan would be the most competitive one out of all of us.' he thought as he ducked behind the couch avoiding the paintballs that whizzed by his head. He risked a glance towards Robin and Zatanna who were trying to distract the Martian so that Wally could get in a shot. Zatanna shot him a smirk before giving Dick a devious grin.

Dick should have spotted the warning signs when they came. When Zatanna starts smirking, you know it's probably a good idea to leave the room. But when she starts cackling, you know to start running for the hills. When Wally saw her doing both, he knew that Dick was going to have it bad. So like any idiot would, Dick ignored her. Which was his big mistake. He regretted this big time when he soon found himself being flung across the room towards M'gann, barreling into her like a bowling ball. This, of course, gave Wally and Zatanna the perfect chance to shoot M'gann, who had no means of escape. The two gave a high five to each other before turning with smug smirks on their faces towards the very annoyed mountain of limbs that was Robin on the floor.

"What the hell Zee!?"

"Whoops." Zatanna grinned unapologetically.

"You didn't happen to remember anything that I-"

"Yeah, yeah," she abruptly cut him off, taking on an unnaturally high-pitched voice, "If we plan this out, we might just win this thing." before switching back to her normal voice, "We did win this thing, didn't we Boy Blunder?" Zatanna crossed her arms triumphantly as a smirk danced across her face.

Dick was left sputtering in defence while the rest of the team laughed at his misfortune.
