Nightwing watched the kid go and sighed. Had his voice ever been that pitch? He couldnt remember. He looked around for Slade and was about to have a moments panic when he noticed the man was missing. A villan loose in the cave- Batman would have his liver for his trophy cabinet. Thankfully the Dark Knight was talking to Superman and seemed none the wiser. Dick's eye was drawn to the lab, where Jason sat on the railings, staring out over the cave. When he saw Dick looking at him, he grinned and winked, nodding towards the enterance to the cave. Dick scowled and flipped him off, making Jason chuckle even harder. He tried to immerse himself in repairing an old bike or his, or feeding the bats, or even just examining his own hands, but no task lasted longer than about three minutes, and his thoughts kept drifting. After nine minutes of this, the vigilante scowled, threw his tools on the floor and stalked out of the cave after Slade. Jason had to laugh. ''Whipped.'' He commented, shaking his head. ''GO TO HELL, Jason.'' Came the yelled response.
Batman cracked a smile once every 10 years, this was widely known. But he smirked now. ''Your damn right you do.'' He turned to the computer, typing away quickly. ''Any help your Coluan freind needs, I'll provide. In the meanwhile go to him and-''
''-try not to get super-spunk all over the cave.'' Jason offered cheerfully from the railing above. Bruce grinned darkly. ''Not what I was going to say, but that too.''

Superman felt his cheeks heat up. "I'm just gonna go then." He mumbled and left Batman's side.
Even though Brainy was currently studying the technology provided to him in Batman's labb he had heard Red Hood's comment. His face turned into a darker shade of green. And he thought Phantom Girl was bad with her insinuations, she got nothing on Jason Todd.

Slade watched from the corner of his eye as another figure appeared beside him, and smirked. "Come to take up on my offer? Or are you just babysitting?"
The thought that Dick still remembered how un-resist able Slade could be made him chuckle on the inside. Some things never changed.
-- Robin walked down one of the hallways in the manor mindlessly, his memories slowly unraveling his time spent here. He couldn't say he didn't miss this place. There was always something to do, and it never got boring. Speaking of something to do..He checked a clock in the hall. Yes, it's about the daily time him and Alfred would make chocolate chip cookies before bed during his childhood like always. He grinned as the smell of baking cookies entered his nose. Without even thinking twice, the teen stepped into the kitchens entryway with a big smile upon his face.
"M-master Dick? Is that you?" A familiar voice piped up.
Robin mentally cursed himself.
"Umm, yeah. Hey, Alfred."

''I've come to-'' Dick stopped. To be honest, he didnt even know why he had followed the villan out of the cave. ''Look, I dont know what sick kicks you're getting out of this, but you cant even remember getting to- the past.'' He folded his arms and grinned. ''What makes you so sure that I'm not just doing this for fun or to make Batman snap you in two? You're assuming a lot, Slade.'' He had to regian some dignity before he gave in and just jumped the guy.
Jason grinned when he saw Supermans reaction, I'll just leave you two to it.'' He jumped from the ledge, landing catlike beside Batman. ''Super-spunk?'' His old mentor questioned in a wry voice. Jason grinned. ''The situation called for it. Where's Nightwing?'' He savoured Bruce's expression change as the man glanced around the cave. ''More importantly... where's Slade?'' Jason grinned again. ''Come to think of it, Robins gone too. I'd say Alfreds a wee bit confused, dont you think?''

"How's it going?" Superman asked as he walked up to Brainiac 5, who had started picking apart one of the many devices in Batman's lab. "Fairly well. There are some components here that could work as substitutes, if only to get me back into the future. Although I'll probably need to borrow some of your kryptonian technology." "Sure." Superman hesitated. "You really have no idea what Brainiac is planning?" "It could be anything. My biggest worry now is that you'll suddenly disappear because he killed you in the past or something." Superman swallowed. "Let's hope he doesn't do that then."

Slade continued to smirk "Assuming? It's only fair I speak the truth to you. But, the fact that you're having fun with this..only makes it better my dear boy." He purred, as he continued to lean up against a wall.
The look on the mans face after that comment made his night. To make the situation even more to his enjoyment, Slade slowly reached up and un-clicked his mask, taking it off and showing his face for a mere couple of minutes while with him. It didn't matter anyway, seeing as Robin's future self already knew his natural appearance. And now he waited for the right moment. The moment in which Nightwing would cave. --
"What has happened to you? You're much younger! Could this possibly be some sort of effect from an aging ray?" The older man spoke to his young friend in shock.
"No..it's me Alfred. From the past..I was warped here somehow..we're trying to figure out how to get back."
The look of relief and happiness that washed over the butlers face made Robin grin again, and he was soon found in the mans arms, embraced in a tight hug. He was glad to see him again. Very glad.

Nightwing stood stock-still, just loooking at Slade's face. It was so STUPID, so goddamn insanely stupid that the damn man still affected him after so long. It almost made him angry. Actually it did. It made him very angry.
''I know what you're doing.'' He said holtly, tearing his eyes away from Slades face before he gave in. ''And you know its working. STOP IT. I know better now, I SHOULD know better and I'm done playing your games. I have been for a long time.''
He had to chuckle darkly. ''Half of me wants to step on over there and admit defeat and the other half wants to punch your teeth in. But you know that by now. Sadist. '' But somehow, he wasnt as angry as he should have been. Angry, yes, but at the same time... it was good to be back.
*Jason isnt in this post. Its mostly filler and smart comments, anyways*

(LOLZ, GAIS, your drama is way more interesting than mine XD PREPARE FOR SMALL TALK OF DOOM:)
Superman watched Brainy tinker with the machines and pick them apart, systematically categorizing their components. He'd already made quite a mess around him. Superman queitly wondered if Bruce knew what he'd gotten himself into when he let the young Coluan roam free in his lab. "How's the rest of the legionnaires?" "They're fine." Brainy answered abscently. "Anything in particular you'd like to know?" "Imra and Garth... have they...?" "Since a few months ago." "Oh... and Rokk?" "Too into his work to care, at least that's what he makes everyone think." They continued talking about the rest of the legionnaires and how the Legion was operating after the fall of Brainiac, Imperiex and the dominators. They came to a moment when they both fell silent. Brainy had gotten into the rythm of his work and Superman was reflecting over the new information he'd achieved.

(Well get your butt in this drama then! xD ..ohgod, okay posting!)
"Well then, why fight what you want?" Slade questioned with a certain glint in his eye. In another small wave of loss of self control, the man found himself pushing off the wall and walking over to Nightwing, and cupping his chin in his hand. "Some things don't change, do they my bird?"
--
"Hey, Alf.." Robin finally spoke up when the two separated. "It's nice to see you again." The grin on his face couldn't possibly get any bigger if he tried.
"Like-wise Master Dick. Now, would you like some chocolate chip cookies?"
"Always."

Nightwing had to chuckle ignoring that he suddenly found it impossible to breathe. ''...I guess not.'' He admitted with a crooked grin. ''And I know, before you say it, I know I'm being a little bitch about the whole thing.''
But Slade was'nt to know. Besides, that happened in the future for Slade, and the past for him. where they were at the moment was the in-between. They were untouchable from the effects of either consequence of their actions for now. Besides, it wouldnt hurt, to slip up this once... would it?
''Little bird huh.....'' He leaned in slowly, til their faces were almost touching. ''...havn't been called that in years.''

(WTF GUYS HOW IMMA GONNA TOP THAT LOLZ)
There went a shudder through Superman, like he'd just heard a loud noise. "Something has happened in Metropolis." He said and turned to Brainy. "I need to leave." Brainy left his work and stopped Superman from leaving by grabbing hold of his arm. "Wait! It could be Brainiac." "I'll have to take that risk." He said. "Can't you call the Justice League? Or take Batman with you?" Superman looked into Brainy's worried eyes, he put a hand on his shoulder. "I'll ask him." He said. "Don't worry though, I've defeated Brainiac in the past." Brainy felt his cheeks heat up. "Yes, of course." He mumbled, feeling kind of stupid for getting so worked up.
Superman flew down and found Batman still sitting in front of the computer. "Bruce, something just happened in Metropolis."

Slade smirked. "As long as you remember who you belong to.." In a quick blur the man brushed his lips against the hero's and brought a finger up his back at the same time, teasing him, just the way it always went. He had him right where he wanted him.
--
Robin felt a weird vibe flow through his body, but ignored it. He was supposed to be enjoying his stay here, so instead he took another cookie.
"How are things in Jump City?" Alfred interrupted him from his airy thoughts.
"Good. Just.. you know, doing my superhero thing. I have my own team now."
"Really? That's wonderful master Dick!"
"Yeah, they're great," He grinned. "Sorry I haven't called you or Bruce lately..I mean, in the past did I..?"
"You've been in good touch as far as I remember from the past, now though..well..how about we make another batch of cookies?" The man smiled slightly.
"Sure.." Robin replied lightly, his light confusion returning.

Nightwing started backwards at the touch, but the hand on his back kind of prevented him from going anywhere. Not that he was sure he would if he had the choice.
He hadnt actually expected Slade to.... or had he? He didnt even know anymore. The damn man had a habit of invading his head and making everything else futile.
''Oh thats how you're playing it huh.'' He grinned, refusing to give in, though DAMN it was hard. He leant in as if he was about to give in, then pulled back at the last second with an evil teasing grin. ''I'm beginning to think you're just a sexually frustrated old man .... Slade.....'' Bruce quirked an eyebrow at Superman and stood, finishing his work. ''Jason, take the computer.'' He told the dark-haired youth, who grinned darkly. ''Oracle is on the line about Talia. Wrap it up.'' He turned towards Superman and nodded. ''I'll get the jet. Or do we have time for that?''

Brainy watched from above how Batman took off in the jet with Superman following. He was just about to return to his work when he spotted two figures at one of the entrances. It took him half-a-second to recognize them as Slade and Nightwing. They were standing very close to one another... TOO close. He wanted to shout to them, especially Nightwing, that their behaviour could affect the time-space-continuum. But he realized that he wasn't the one who should be telling them that. What was HE doing with Superman? He blushed, he didn't want to think about it but forced himself to do it. What was he expecting from him? His affection? And if he did, then what? They weren't even from the same timeline. He decided he would talk with Nightwing about it later. Right now, he needed to clear his own thoughts. He returned back to work.

The hand that Slade had placed on Nightwings back slowly made itself back down to his own side. "Well, as much as I'd like to let my..what was it you said?..'sexual frustrations' out on you, I have the feeling we're being watched. And unless you want to give in on your stubbornness and give them a show.." The man smirked, bringing himself back a few steps and leaving the other man before him alone with his lingering feelings and confusion. "I'll just stand here and mind my own business then." He thought for a second before adding another teasing comment. "Perhaps you should get to bed. It must be rather late for you, and there really isn't anything else you'd rather be doing, is there?" He asked innocently. His blue-gray eye locked on Nightwings mask, trying to burn a whole through them mentally to meet the eyes behind it. It was only a matter of time now..
--
Not too long into the second tray of cookies Robin declared himself as full.
"Thanks for the snack Alfred, your cookies are always delicious." The hero grinned.
"Of course, it's only routine. You know we always have cookies around this time master Dick."
"Yeah, I know. ...Hey Alf?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think it would be a good idea if I talked to Bruce about some things..?"
The old butler grinned. "I'm sure master Bruce would love to have a conversation with you again."
"Thanks. I'll see you around, I mean..you know, if I'm not gone already. Although I'll still be around and-..well.." He blushed out of embarrassment. "You know.."
"Yes, I do know. I'll see you, master Dick." The man continued to have a smile on his face as he watched Robin leave. it really was nice to see him so young again.
