Roy - 18
Artemis - 11
Dick - 9
"Roy-"
"Jay, Wait-"
"-No, Roy-"
"-Wait!" The ginger interrupted. "I have to cancel. Paula, her mom, is back in court, and Ollie is making me watch Artemis." He grumbled.
Jason paused. "No way! I was just calling to say I can't come over 'cause B is making me watch Dick."
"No Way!" Roy replied. "That's a coincidence!"
"Not really, they have a meeting together." Jason replied. "Well, let's reschedule..."
"Wait!" His boyfriend interrupted. "I have an idea."
"I think I know where you're going with this..." Jay said cautiously.
"It'll be easy! Ollie and Bruce are at a meeting together, Dickie and Artemis have a playdate, and we can hangout in my room!"
Jason sighed, from experience, he knew that was a terrible idea. "We'll be there at one."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey." Roy said
"Hey." Jason pulled his kid brother inside.
"C'mon." Roy lead the way towards to the stairs. "I got Twizzlers."
"Sick."
They stopped by the livingroom doorway. Artemis was lying upside-down on the couch, kicking her legs.
"Hey!" Roy shouted to her. "You remember Dick, right?"
"Yeah." She said, casting a look at her fellow preteen. "Hey."
"Hi." Dick hopped onto the sofa next to her.
Roy grabbed his boyfriend's wrist, starting to lead him to the stairs. "Me and Jay are going upstairs. Stay inside, and don't touch my gymbag!"
"I told you: I Don't Want Your Stupid Arrows!" She shouted. Artemis slumped against the couch's armrest, pouting.
She was having a tough week, her mom had to go back to court to argue she should stay Artemis' legal guardian despite her disability and criminal record.
Her mom had to do this frequently, so she would stay here since Oliver Queen was financially supporting them.
Plus, when she came over, Oliver would teach and condition her with the bow and arrow. Artemis already knew the basics, but Oliver knew so many cool tricks. He even gave her a bow that fit her.
Not finding her much for discussion, Dick unzipped his backpack so grab his ipad. He lay on his stomach to play on his tablet.
Artemis watched him play for about five minutes. "What are you doing?"
Dick didn't look up, too preoccupied by his game. "Playing on my iPad."
"Playing what?" She asked.
"Jetpack Joyride." He showed her.
Artemis crawled across the couch, watching over his shoulder. Dick lost, and groaned. "You wanna try?" He passed the tablet to her.
She frowned at the screen. "How do you play?"
Dick shrugged. "You tap on the screen to go up, and you collect coins and dodge the lasers and stuff."
Artemis sat back against the couch, trying the game out for a few rounds. It was fun! She never got to play with tech, the closest she ever got was getting to watch videos on Oliver's phone sometimes.
"What else do you have on this?" She asked.
Dick showed the older girl the apps he had. "This used to be my brother's, but now it's mine." He explained. "I have that one- Jetpack Joyride, Cut the Rope, iMovie, and Youtube."
"You have iMovie?" She asked.
"Yeah, wanna make one?"
"Okay."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason and Roy were sitting on each other on the latter's bed, shirts off.
"Still... stay still..." Jason warned.
"I know." Roy grunted in pain.
"STILL!" Jason ordered, smacking his boyfriend back into place. He held Roy's shoulder in place, crawling over the ginger to get a better advantage.
"Ow!" Roy squeaked.
Jason forced his boyfriend still again. "God! I can't believe a bottom convinced me to tattoo him!"
"It hurts!" Roy grunted.
"Duh! I'm shoving a needle in your shoulder!" Jay dipped the needle back in the ink, and returned to the ballpoint arrow outline on his bottom's shoulder.
"Is it bleeding?"
"Uh, yeah. a bit." He replied. "But don't worry, baby, I'm done the first outline, and it won't take too long."
"I'm doing yours next, and I'm going to slice your skin open."
"No your not." His boyfriend replied. "I'm gonna finish the first outline, and then we're gonna get high, and you're gonna poke me a few times and then faint, and I'm going to make you tea..."
Roy's muscles had relaxed a bit, but whether it was the reassuring words, or the blatant sexual tension it brought wasn't clear.
"oW!"
"Done!" Jason tossed the needle aside and grabbed the rubbing alcohol, starting to clense and dress the little arrow tattoo. "Alright, let's smoke."
"Okay." Roy hissed in pain from the sanitizer. "Let's leave the shirts off, though."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So who's watching the boys? Alfred?" Oliver Queen stopped by Bruce as the two waited for coffee, they were on an hour recess/lunch break.
"The boys are adults, Oliver." Bruce Replied. "and Jason's watching Dick today."
"Wow, I mean, yeah, I guess so." He replied, he couldn't believe how old the kids were getting. "Roy's babysitting too. Paula's back in court, so we've got another kid around the house."
Bruce nodded, he'd almost gotten to funding Paula Nguyen as part of his own single parent support program, but Oliver told him that he already had enough adopted kids, and he needed another child to support once Roy went off to Uni. "Right. Paula's kid... "
"Artemis." The archer added. "Around Dick's age."
"What about her other daughter?" Bruce asked.
"Living away from home. With a friend, I think." They got their coffee, heading back to the office in silence.
"You're not thinking of making Paula's kid the new speedy?" Bruce said abruptly, stopping the archer.
"She's eleven." Oliver replied. "Older than Dick- AND she can use a bow."
"She's not your kid." Bruce said. "You're watching her to help her mother. Maybe turning her into a crime fighter before her teens won't help her single disabled mother."
Oliver scoffed. "C'mon Bruce! If you'd been their sponsor, you'd have her flitting around Gotham in a bird costume in hours!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You can't jump from that high!" Artemis tried to call his bluff.
"I can." Dick argued. "Just film."
"Okay..." She pressed film, preparing to watch the nine-year-old crash to the floor. Imagine her surprise when the kid jumped off the top of the massive fridge, flipped once, and landed neatly.
"Tah dah!" He announced like the pint-sized showman he was.
She gaped a little. "You can do flips?" She asked. "Me too! I do cartwheels everywhere, and I can do aerials sometimes!"
"Cool!" Dick exclaimed, he barely knew any kids his age who could do any gymnastics.
"Wait!" She thrust the iPad at him. "I can do something else cool, let's film it for the iMovie!"
"Yeah!" Dick agreed, following Artemis from the kitchen, wondering what her cool trick was.
She retrieved a huge duffle bag, which they could both easily fit in, and turned to him. "It smells kinda gross, cause it's Roy's gym bag." She told him. She searched the bag and tugged out a bow that, proportionately, was huge to her. "I have my own, but I can't use it if Oliver isn't here." She explained.
"Can you shoot arrows?" Dick asked in awe. The only archers he knew were very grown up to them.
"Yeah, this one's kinda big, but it works!" She secured the bottom of the bow with her foot and drew an arrow as far back as she could (Her pullback wasn't very strong cause she was eleven). "Film this!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason had really called it, and after the tea and sub care, they'd gone onto making out on Roy's bed and watching Parks and Recreation.
They were finally getting into the sexy stuff, when there was a crash downstairs. The two froze, realizing they'd left their respective replacements downstairs for almost three hours.
"...shit." Jason slipped off his boyfriend and sat up, pulling his shirt back on. He stumbled out the door, fastening his belt again.
Roy sprung out after him. "ARTEMIS!" He stormed downstairs, tugging on his shirt. "ARTEMIS!" He repeated, trying to find the source of the noise. He strode into a hallway and jumped back, swearing loudly.
"What?" Jason caught him before he hit the floor.
Roy grabbed his bare foot, and hissing in pain. Several small sharps of metal were sticking out of his foot. They looked down and saw they were scattered through the hallway. "Shit."
"What?"
"Trick arrow." He spat, wincing as he picked the shards from his foot. "ARTEMIS!"
It wasn't hard to find the kids. They were stood, frozen in front of Roy's gym bag, Artemis was gripping Roy's bow, her face in shock.
She was a child, and hadn't put together that her sponsors were super heroes. She just meant to fire an arrow at the dartboard, why did it explode like that?!
"Dick!" Jason shouted.
Roy slipped around the scattered mental shards and yanked the bow from the blonde girl's hands. "I told you not to touch my stuff!" Artemis flinched, shying away. "Don't touch my bow!" he girl nodded frantically, she and Dick were pressed against the wall. Neither liked yelling.
"Roy, cool it." Jason told him. Jason had been a big brother for ages, but Roy wasn't good with kids. Yet. Jason planned to fix that. "Hey guys, what did you do?"
"We just wanted to make an iMovie." Dick told him immediately. "We wanted to do some cool stuff, and she said she could shoot an arrow, and we wanted to put it in the movie."
"You're such a tattle-tale!" She shoved him. "Why are you telling them everything."
"HEY!" Jason split them up, he also pushed Roy off, because he was under prepared to do the big brother thing. "Okay. Chill." He said. His baby brother was half his age, so he could be a cool, edgy big brother if he wanted. "You guys were making an iMovie. That's chill. I respect that you were VERY upfront with your rule breaking. But don't touch Roy's bow, cause he's got some... special arrows, that can do wild stuff like that."
"Why?" Artemis asked. "What do you use those for?"
"None of your-" Jason stopped him.
"It's a long story, but don't touch them, cause you could've stepped on those, or you could've grabbed a more dangerous arrow. so... don't use those kay? The kids still stared up at them. "Dick?"
"Okay."
"And- uhhh....." He turned to the blonde kid.
"Artemis." Roy whispered.
"Artemis? You down with that?"
"Kay." She said. So long as no one was yelling or trying to hit her, she was okay. Actually, Dick's big brother seemed kinda cool; she could relate to his opinionated, proletarian, energy.
"Ight, ight, uh... you two finish your movie, and we'll clean up." He proposed.
"What?" Roy hissed, grabbing his boyfriend's collar. "They did it!"
"They're fetuses, man." Jason told him, exasperated. "You're the older one, you're the one Oliver will get mad at if you let her make a mess."
"But that's not fair." He pointed out. "She did it!"
Jason bopped his eyebrows. "Welcome to the club. C'mon, grab a broom!"
-I was thinking of doing more parts in my own continuity, say where Bart is older than Wally (cause I never really ironed that out), or like, Jon is older than Conner or whatever. Thoughts?-
EDIT: I drew this. Enjoy it please
