-If you haven't watched The Haunting Hour, its like Goosebumps only 1000% scarier-

-keyboard broke, I can't do bolds/italics-

Roy was visiting the mountain, well  the teens called it visiting, but it was more like babysitting them while the league was in a meeting.

"Okay, kiddies, bedtime at eight-thirty." The red-head joked bitterly. He had to cancel plans for this! To supervise teenagers, who were bassically his age, for ten hours. To be fair, the league didn't respect anyone under the age of twenty-five, so it's not like he was singled out.

"Nice joke, SPEEDY!" Artemis scoffed.

"Hey, I've been Red Arrow longer than you've been in crime fighting!" Roy spat back at her. "And SuperBrat AND Ms. Martian." Roy ended the argument. "What do you guys do here, I mean, when you aren't doing the Justice League's lackie work?"

Wally was used to the older redhead's comments, he seriously thought they were stupid for not going rogue like him. "We watch movies, do homework, we go into town sometimes..."

"Get yelled at by the league..." Artemis added, saltily, so you could guess it had probably happened very recently.

"Oh, wow! You guys are boring!" Roy called. You're all little kids and don't drink or get high and you never say anything intelligent. Except Kaldur, Aqualad is cool."

"Well, Roy boy, is there anything your Cool Grownup friends do which isn't illegal for us?"

Roy thought about it. "No -actually do you like scary movies?" 

"What are you, ghost face?" His blonde counterpart asked.

"Perfect. GUYS, we're watching horror movies!"

"Neat...?" Robin strolled in.

"Hey Rob." Wally waved to him.

Roy perked up at the sight of the bird. He loved fucking around with Robin and Wally. "Hey Robin, how's puberty going? Is your body developing?"

"ShUt Up!" The boy grumbled, hiding his face in his hoodie as Artemis and Wally snickered.

"I mean, he's right dude," Wally shrugged. "I can smell the hormones on you."

"Thanks!" The bird spat, blushing.

"Ugh, GREAT, we cant watch anything R rated, or else Rob will have nightmares." The older red-head groaned.

"Newsflash, speedy gonzalez, I'm not scared of movies." Robin was trying to look tough in front of his older teammates.

"What about when I took you and Wally to see Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark? That was PG 13!"

"That was different!" He growled through gritted teeth.

"Sure. Hey Roy, let's just scroll through Netflix, keep an eye open for something good." Wally proposed, and they did, the older team member's joining them at the couch. Finally, they found something...

"The Haunting Hour? What's that?" Conner asked, showing minor interest.

"Dunno," Roy kicked his legs out. "It's by the same guy who did Goosebumps."

"Ugh," Robin grunted, Goosebumps was for little kids, he was too grown up for all that. "It's probably just dumb and campy."

"You're one to talk, Pixie!" Wally laughed.

Robin turned red and grabbed him by the shoulders."Wally, we Do NOT talk about that. Ever."

"Yeah, sure, whatever. hey, it's from 2011." The younger red-head observed, distracting Robin.

"This could be good." The eighteen-year-old shrugged, putting on the first episode. "At the very least, it's going to be hilariously bad."

It was neither. It was fucking terrifying.

"The doll is taking... her place...?" Someone, M'gann, finally spoke up as the credits rolled. She was pressed into Conner, hardly watching the screen.

The oldest member present checked the about page for the show. "This is intended for ages SEVEN and up?"

"That is, a liberal rating..." kaldur stated.

"If I saw this at age seven, I'd have freaked!" Robin's eyes were like saucers. 

"Rob, your freaked NOW." Artemis was also trying to act brave even though they were scared. It was a kid's show, she reasoned, She'd seen WAY scarier stuff in real life.

Wally shrugged. "This show is just weird."

"Yeah, yeah!" Dick straightened up, puffing out his chest a little. "That's not scary at all, put on the next part!" 

They did.

"Well, that's one two-parter down." Roy clicked away from the credits.

The martian lowered her legs off the couch cautiously."At least it had a happy ending... kind of." She shakily stood up. "I'm going to start on dinner, anyone want to join?" She didn't want to be alone.

It took her boyfriend a second to remember this was his job. "I'll come." 

"Thanks!" She grabbed his arm and hurried out. Kaldur followed a few minutes behind, he wasnt much for the majority of human entertainment.

Dick stretched, getting over the fear he felt from the show. He forced his feet off the couch and on to the floor. Instantly, a shallow breath touched his shin.

The boy let out an eye piricing scream. Roy slapped the romote, pausing the show, and grabbing Dick's shoulder. "Holy Shit, WHAT?" 

Before the boy could get anything coherent out, something crawled out from under the couch.

"Wally, you fuckrag, you scared the shit outta me!" Artemis cried.

"Sorry," he sighed. "Don't get me wrong, this show scary, but I had to. It was too easy!"

"Jerk!"

"Hey, I did it for... I did it or Roy!" 

"What?"

"Remember that time.. when we were at your place?"

Roy made a realization and let out a bark of laughter, startling everyone. "Oh, lord! Oh that's a story!"

"What?" Artemis demanded, she hated being left out of things.

"Basically, so, wayy back in the day, I used to babysit Wally and d-robin..." 

"for real?" Artemis asked, he couod be a well of blackmail. 

"I mean, we were like twelve and nine..." Wally interupted. "it wasnt really babysitting..."

"And I went to sleep and this brat," he shook robin, who was still rattled. "This fucking creep crawled Under my bed, and grabbed my foot."

Robin flushed a little. "I was a kid, also, You did the same to me!"

"He did!" Wally confirmed. "Once Roy told us this scary story about a killer who called people right before he killed them, and then 'went to pick up food' and called the home phone in a gravelly voice and said he was gonna kill us."

"That's practically child abuse, Roy!" Artemis let her jaw drop. "That's so fucking mean!"

"C'mon, they were being brats! I just ripped off the premise of scream and scared them a little." Roy laughed. "Don't tell me you were actually freaked."

"No, I wasn't!" Robin ordered.

"Okay, buddy!" Roy ruffled his hair. "Sure."
