Young Justice Trash

Deaged (Part Six; Artemis being EVIL)

The brothers were also out of their depth, especially since Damian didn't do shit (to be fair, whenever he did ANYTHING, the kids got scared). They had to stop five kids five-to-eight years old from killing themselves/each other, and it was pretty damn hard since Jason was also trying to kill them. 

And Dick was a whole other story. It was confirmed that he cried when his family wasn't there, and screamed when they were. All they could do was smother him with attention until his tantrums fizzled themselves out.

One thing that calmed their baby brother down again was when His second eldest brother brought him a pacifier. This item soothed him down greatly, actually allowing him to take a nap. But he pretended to hate it. Plucking it from his mouth, disgusted, whenever anyone entered the room.

Tim claimed this was survival instinct; Dick somehow knew that he could only survive if Jason and Artemis didn't tease him to death.

Dick was half asleep, when he heard someone enter. He pulled out his pacifier, incase it was Artemis coming in to mess with him again.

"Hey, Robin." It was Wally. "Are you okay?"

"Uh huh." Dick eyed the object in his hand. He desided not to do it while Wally was present. 

"I told Artemis to stop, but she isn't." Wally was constantly stepping up to protect Dick whenever the blonde said something like'When he's thirteen, don't forget he needed to sleep with a Binky!'  She seriously LOVED the power rush, feeling strong, and replicating things her sister did to her. Wally took it apon himself to 'stop' her.  

"Okay."

"Were you asleep?"

"Yes."

"Sorry." He stated. "Don't worry about Arty. I'll keep stopping her."

Tim stepped into the doorway. "Wally, bud, he's asleep. Oh, dickie." he approached his baby brother quickly and stroked his hair back. Dick pushed himself away, his brothers were always stifling him and babying him. It was getting annoying. "You've woken up, how'd you sleep?"

"Good." He responded, toying with the pacifier in his fingers. "I'm hungry."

"Its almost dinner time. Wally, let's let him rest for a few minutes." He lead the redhead out, against his brother's persuasions.

Dick's brothers got off in forty minutes, so all they had to do was feed the kids, take a few more snapshots of their brother (for ...posterity....) and split.

"Who's stepping up next." Jason asked, picking up Artemis and Conner and chucking them at the couches.

"Ollie and Barry I think." Tim shouted back. "GEEZ, Jay! You're going to concuss them! at LEAST!"

"Eh." His brother shugged and continued wrestling the rowdy kids into the sofas, nearly choking them on the cushions. Artemis got a real kick out of that. Wally ran over to join in. The kids were so excited to find someone who didn't hold back while 'play' fighting them; even as teens, most leaguers went easy on them. So having a psycho nearly killing them was exciting, even to the more passive teammates.

"Jay! hood! Jay! Throw Me!"

"Okay." Jason picked up the little redhead and absolutely hurled him through the air. if Kaldur hadn't been there, Wally would've completely missed the couch. 

"You could've killed him!" Tim exclaimed.

"So? They love it!" Artemis and Conner were fighting to be front of the line, i.e. Next to be bunted.
