[o.h] boy wonder & pretty bird; oneshots/gap-year chapters

Dick Grayson, Cat Wonder

Summary: That one where Reese is allergic to cats and it's just Dick's luck that he gets himself turned into one.

NOTE: This isn't "canon", so to speak, to The Robin & The Canary, it was just something I wanted to write. But one similarity is that, in my headcanon universe thingy, Oliver Queen is still a billionaire. Just putting that out there.

Warning(s): Slight trigger warning for stalking, but nothing is explicitly detailed. Also, to be clear, this is complete and utter CRACK from the depths of my brain. I don't know where this came from.

You'd think, that at one point in his life, Dick Grayson would learn not to be an idiot. 

I mean, being best friends with Wally West for x-number of years should've taught the first Robin that he really shouldn't prank his girlfriend two days before her nineteenth birthday, but here he was, a fuming Reese Queen staring him down, as a thick mixture of flour and water with the consistency of cake batter dripped down the front of her entire body.

In Dick's defense though, the prank hadn't been meant for her.

Really, if Reese was going to blame anyone, she should be blaming Wally. The red-haired speedster was the one who had put Dick's only extra Nightwing suit in the dryer last week and allowed the garment to shrink so it was at least two sizes too small.

And how was Dick supposed to know Reese was going to walk into the rec room ahead of Wally, just as he dropped the "flour batter" on top of her?

Enter the acrobat's current predicament.

"I'm going to kill you, Boy Wonder," Reese seethed, and Wally, who had actually walked into the room behind Dick's girlfriend, along with Artemis, gave his black-haired friend a semi-panicked look.

"Dude," the redhead muttered. "Run,"

Dick bolted, hopping over the kitchen counter and bypassing the trio without a second thought, though it was only a split second later that Reese began to chase after him.

Nightwing knew that he could outrun his girlfriend if he really wanted to, but if Dick was being completely honest, he wasn't trying very hard.

That became dreadfully apparent, when, just as he entered the main cave, where Batman, fully suited up, as usual, was standing in front of the holo-screens, Reese threw her entire body weight on top of him by jumping onto his back, making both of them tumble to the ground, and knocking the breath out of Dick's lungs.

"To be...fair..." Nightwing wheezed, twisting around so he was laying on his back. "That prank was meant for Wally,"

"Of course it was," Reese muttered, still sitting on top of him and glancing off to the side as a glop of the flour-water batter dropped off her face and onto Dick's.

"Sorry?" he wasn't entirely sure why his apology came out as a question, but it did and in response, all Reese did was huff and blow a stray strand of hair out of her face, the way she always did when she was mad, but didn't really know what to do about it.
