Chapter Three

Dick Grayson woke up to little hands prodding his sides, giggles ringing out throughout his bedroom. Once his eyes fluttered open, a little shriek cried out. "Old man Dickie is wake!" And just like that, he was tackled by two impossibly tiny bodies, the shrieking increasing two fold.

"Dickie, Dickie!" Another little voice called out, snapping Nightwing out of his stupor. He looked down to see his deaged younger brothers, their sparkling eyes reminding him of the events of the day before.

"Hey Jay, hey Timmy. Did you sleep well?" He cooed, scooping them both up in his arms and giving them both kisses on their foreheads, which earned him squeals of delight.

"Yes, Dickie." Tim replied, squirming out of the hug. He pulled Jason with him, the two toddlers watching their eldest brother with curiosity. "Hungry, Dickie. We hungry."

Dick chuckled, ruffling Tim's hair as he stood up from his bed and stretched with a yawn. "Okay, you little gremlins. Let's go get some breakfast." The two little brothers giggled, jumping onto Dick's body, Jason latched onto his back while Tim scrambled up to be cradled in his arms as the trio made their way to go quench their hunger.

They entered the kitchen to see M'gann working on cooking up some pancakes and scrambled eggs, humming to herself. She looked up from her work when she heard their footsteps and grinned. "Hello, boys. Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, pretty lady!" Jason shouted in Dick's ear, making his brother wince slightly. Jason squirmed his way off of Dick's back, walking up to a kitchen stool and pulling himself up so he could watch M'gann work. "Whatcha doing?"

"I'm cooking breakfast." She spoke as she flipped a pancake, adding another batch to a warming pan. Wally would be up soon, and boy, could that teen eat.

"Why?"

M'gann looked up curiously, not used to toddler's behavior. "So we can eat, silly."

"Why?"

She furrowed her brows. "Because we need to eat."

"Why?"

"Because eating helps us grow strong, like your brother."

"Why?"

M'gann slowly put down the spoon she was using to stir up more batter, tilting her head at Jason. "Because food provides nutrients we need to survive?"

"Why?"

Dick stepped in, remembering all too well when Jason went through this phase the first time. "Jay, lay of M'gann. No need to give her the third degree."

"Why you talk like that?" Jason grinned mischievously, fully aware he was getting on their nerves.

"Beca- you know what, I am your brother. Your older brother, I don't have to answer that." Dick stuck his tongue out childishly, which Jason was all too happy to copy.

Meanwhile, Tim had slipped out of his arms and waddled over to the couches where Kaldur was trying his hardest not to be noticed by the interrogating toddlers. He failed once Tim noticed the TV was on and crawled up on the couch, right on Kaldur's lap and curling up on the teen.

Kaldur was shocked, having no idea what to do with the child. Does he do nothing? Does he pet him like a cat? Does he remove him? He chose to start a conversation, asking Tim how the boy slept.

Which seemed to be the wrong choice.

"Shh." Tim hissed, pointing to the TV which showed some morning talk show.

"Excuse me?"

"Shh!" He hissed harder, pointing more vigorously at the TV. "Daddy on TV."  Sure enough, Bruce Wayne was a guest on the talk show, discussing the new branch of his business that would be launching soon. Kaldur nodded in understanding, feeling slightly embarrassed for getting offended by the toddler's behavior.

The two of them sat in silence, watching Bruce drone on about his boring business moves as Conner eventually strolled in, plopping down on the opposite couch. Tim waved at him, Conner returning the wave with a small smile. Artemis came in next, starting on a rant about something Wally did only to be shushed by both Kaldur and Tim, the two of them gesturing to the TV.

Artemis immediately knew to be quiet, having some experience with little kids due to Lian, her niece. So she sat next to Conner as they waited for breakfast, which thankfully didn't take too long to finish after Bruce's segment was done airing.

The three teenagers and Tim strolled into the kitchen to see Jason watching Wally with fascination as the speedster crammed pancake after pancake into his mouth. Jason turned to Dick, his mouth agape. "How he do that?"

"He has a big mouth, that's how." Artemis replied, sliding into the seat next to her boyfriend and grabbing some pancakes off the stack for herself and Tim. "Here you go, Tim. Do you want syrup?"

Tim looked at her, eyes wide with amazement as he nodded vigorously. Dick tried to protest, but it was too late, Tim had already started to cram his syrup covered pancakes in his mouth. When Dick saw his friend's confused faces, he explained his reaction to them. "We usually don't let Tim have too much sugar and the syrup Miss M uses is packed full. Just be prepared for a toddler on speed."

The team gulped, looking at how happy Tim was as he hummed with syrup dripping down his chin, grinning up at Artemis. "Thank you." He mumbled out from around the pancake mush in his mouth, looking so adorable M'gann had to bite her lip to hide her squeal. Tim turned to look at Jason, noticing his brother did not get any syrup so he swapped plates with him, smiling at the grateful look Jason gave him. "Eat up, Jay."

"Love you, Timmy." Jason rushed out before he tried to copy Wally's eating actions, not quite getting that he actually had to chew his food before stuffing more in his face.

"Jason, chew. You're gonna choke." Dick sighed, rubbing his temples as M'gann telekinetically removed the half chewed mess from his younger brother's mouth . Day one of his deaged brothers and they were already choking on syrup soaked pancakes. This aught to be fun.

"Dickie, we play?" Tim asked, syrup still dripping down his chin as waddled over to Dick's chair and crawled up onto his lap. "We go swim?"

"In a bit, you aren't supposed to swim within an hour of eating." Dick explained, watching as the light did not fade from Tim's eyes. Uh-oh, he was definitely feeling that sugar now.

"We wrestle?" Tim squealed, clapping his hands as a new thought entered his mind. "Hide seek! Hide seek!"

"Yeah!" Jason yelled, finally getting the concept of how to eat properly. He ran over to join the now buzzing Tim, pulling him off their eldest brother. "We hide, you find. Go!"

"Jay, wait!" Dick tried, but it was too late. The little toddlers had already disappeared into the mountain, leaving behind a distraught team. Dick turned to glare at Artemis. "This is why we don't give them sugar."
