Here's your part two. Hope you enjoy!


"How about hide and seek?" Dick asked. The heroes looked at one another. They thought he'd want to do something slightly more mature thanks to his intelligence but they couldn't complain. What's the worse that could happen? There were sensors everywhere so if they lost him they could just search the system for him. "Sounds good to me," Dinah replied, receiving nods in agreement. She didn't notice the small mischievous smirk Dick gave her. "Great! I bagsy hiding!" he announced. 

"I want to hide too," Barry said excitedly. He really was quite childish and Dick would only be his enabler. "I'll seek," Diana replied. "To make this fair, no powers are allowed. I'm looking at you Clark," she added. He shrugged, mentally cursing that he couldn't use x-ray vision. It always came in handy. 


Never before had grown adults ran as fast as they did when Diana turned around. She hadn't realised just how competitive they all were until this moment. She hoped she didn't find Dick first. He'd only be upset that he didn't win. Maybe if she found him, she'd keep on walking to give him the satisfaction of a win. After counting to ten, she loudly announced "Ready or not, here I come!" 


Firstly she checked the room she was in. It wasn't that she was disappointed when she saw Clark poorly stuffed into a cupboard. Actually no, she was extremely disappointed. Especially when he shot her an awkward smile and fell out of it when she opened the door. "Stupendous work Clark," she said sarcastically. 

"I wanted to make sure Dick wasn't the first found," he lied. How did this man survive being a hero with an inability to hide? They were so many other places but of course, he didn't think of those. "Of course, I believe you," she replied, walking away to find the others. He smiled in victory for a second before realising her sarcasm. "Hey!"

"Come on, let's find the others." They found Oliver next. He was hiding behind the computer and hadn't noticed one of his arrows was giving him away. When they spotted him, he mumbled about owing Barry $20. Then they found Dinah. She was hiding in one of the lockers. If it wasn't for Oliver noticing her perfume, they wouldn't have found her so easily. Next, they found Barry. He was hanging from the rafters that supported the ceiling. They would never know how he got up there. It would be one of the great mysteries of their time. "Where's my 20 bucks?" he asked with a smug smirk as soon as Clark got him down. Oliver reluctantly handed the money over, huffing to himself in frustration. 


Twenty minutes passed and there was still no sign of Robin. "Why are we so surprised? Bruce is training this kid!" Oliver proclaimed in exasperation. They should've known he'd be the master of this game. Though his brightly coloured suit didn't exactly scream discrete. "But he's still a kid," Diana reasoned. No child could hide this well without giggling or getting bored. He must've been hiding for more than half an hour! "At this rate, we're never going to find him. Bruce will kill us for this," Clark mumbled under his breath. They may as well be looking for a needle in a haystack. He wondered where Dick could hide. Where were the places that they hadn't checked or wouldn't think to check? Dick was small so in theory, there were a lot more places to hide in. His thoughts were interrupted by a loud beeping sound. He inwardly groaned at the sound because that meant they were needed by the world. Suddenly, a grate fell to the ground behind then and Dick jumped down from the vent. "Of course you were in the vents," Oliver groaned. He should've known. Batman and vents were practically best friends, it's no wonder that the kid decided to take after his mentor. "I didn't do anything," Dick said quickly. 

"We know," Diana assured him. "It looks like we're needed," she added. 


They ran to the main computer and Diana swiftly typed in a code that would shut it off. On the screen, a hoard of villains were making a mess of lower Gotham. "I told Bruce this would happen," Dick muttered through gritted teeth. "Can you get sound on the footage?" Diana nodded and, one code later, they had sound. "Bats is away, so the nightmares will play!" Joker yelled at the top of his lungs. Dick cringed at his voice. He couldn't stand the clown prince. Everything about the villain creeped him the hell out. The uneasy permanent smile and the manic laugh were just a few things he could pick out. He was currently riding a large float with Penguin at his side, ordering henchmen about. Scarecrow was on his other side, throwing bombs filled with fear gas at a terrified audience. "Looks like they've all crawled out of the woodwork," Oliver commented. Dick hummed in agreement then took over the computer's keyboard. "What're you doing?" Diana asked. 

"Getting the coordinates. If I'm going to stop this I need to know where to go," he answered, taking a quick picture of them. "You aren't seriously going down there, right? They'll kill you!" she exclaimed. He gave her a funny look. "Every villain is out to kill me and you. I have people to protect and that's my price to pay," he said. He started to stride to the Zetatubes but Clark grabbed his arm tight enough to make him stop. "There is no way we're letting you go down there, not alone at least." Dick raised an unamused eyebrow. 

"Are you suggesting that I stay here whilst you sort out a problem in my city?" Clark was hesitant to nod. There was something in his voice that made his skin crawl with nervousness. Bruce would be proud. Dick wriggled out of his grip. "I'd like to see you try blue boy scout," he taunted. 


When he didn't get a reply, he carried on walking to the Zetatubes. He'd make sure to put a show on for the heroes who were smart enough to stay out of it and watch on the screen. "If you're going out there, then you're going out with League members by your side," Dinah announced, walking to meet him. He was rather surprised that she wanted to help and not drag him back. Oliver was smart enough to join her and Barry decided to join since he had nothing better to do. "You can't be serious. He is a child up against villains even Clark and I have been beaten by," Diana reasoned. She couldn't believe her allies were allowing this. "But you've beaten them many more times and so have I," Dick defended. "The more we argue about this the more people who will suffer at their hands. You're either coming with or you're staying here," he added. Clark let out a loud sigh. He had to give it to the child, he was quite persuasive. "Diana, we can talk about this thoroughly later but right now the civilians are more important." Diana growled but reluctantly joined in with the team's plan. She couldn't help but noticed the relieved look Dick had.


I'm going to leave it here for now but the finale should be up soon enough.  It's been a struggle to write again after something happened in my personal life but I'm back and trying. Hope you're enjoying this request and have a great day!
