"Connor! Slow down!"

"Why? It's not like we have to obey any speed limits up here!"

Clark rolled his eyes as the other flyer sped even further ahead of him. "Fine, you run into a tree it's your own fault," he muttered under his breath.

"What? Wah-!"

Clark couldn't help but smirk as Connor barely avoided a pine. "They never listen, do they?" he asked his tiny passenger. Lex squeaked in large pocket of Clark's overcoat but he doubted it was in reply to anything Clark said.

"Are we there yet?" Connor huffed.

"Really? You're going to ask me that?" Clark asked the boy as he came up next to him.

"You don't let me go any faster!" Connor instantly complained.

"Fine, fly faster and we'll see how quickly the satellites spot you and they get the jets scrambled to intercept." Connor rolled his eyes but remained slightly faster than a normal jet then going faster than the speed of sound, as Clark knew he wanted to do. "Was I such a brat as a teen?" he muttered to himself.

"According to uncle John, yes."

"I was speaking to Lex!"

Connor gave him a long look. "Sure."

The rest of the way was traveled in silence and Clark quickly took the lead and headed towards the waterfall that covered the entrance to the bat cave. Connor had only gone that way once, Tim usually taking him via the manor route. Zipping through the water, Clark shook what few water drops that clung to him off. Frowning, he turned back to find Connor finally floating towards his side, sopping wet.

"Got my shower!" he grinned cheekily before whirling into a spin to remove all the water.

Clark just stepped to the side and frowned at the puddle on the floor. "They have regular showers here you know, not to mention the tower."

"I'm not meeting up with Tim smelling of bat!"

"Why not? He smells it all the time!" A pause. "In fact he smells of it himself so I don't think he's really going to notice if you smell like it." Another pause. "Why do you smell like bat?"

"Dick!" Clark smiled wide at the figure seated in the chair in front of the Bat Cave's massive computer system. "Why are you here?"

"Nightwing had to analyze a few compounds," Dick smiled widely as he headed towards the pair to greet them. "And no system is as good as the Bat's."

"No kidding. And speaking of bats and why Connor smells like them," Clark smiled as he reached down and pulled out a little puffball.

"LEXEY!" Dick instantly cried out as he reached forward to accept the creature. "I had wondered where he got off too. Alfred didn't know."

Connor and Clark glanced at one another surprised. "You mean Bruce didn't tell you he was with me?" Clark asked surprised. If Bruce hadn't brought it up specifically, then how had Dick known Lex was missing out of the near hundreds of bats hovering around the place?

"Hmm? Oh no, I only just got here before you did," Dick shrugged as he lifted the bat to eye level. "Don't do that without telling someone where you're going," he admonished the animal.

"Okay then," Clark shrugged at Connor's questioning look. "So where are the others?"

"Showers, believe it or not. The Tumbler's still warm so I think they only just got here too," Dick snickered.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

All three jumped and whirled towards the sound of the rather furious scream. Dick actually had the batarangs off a bench and held at the ready. Three of them actually as Clark took in his position in a glance. The last thing that they ever expected to come literally flying out of the shower area was four bats followed by a rather extremely angry Tim in nothing but a bath towel flinging his own batrangs after them.

"And stay out!" he shouted at the top of his lungs before he turned to head back into the shower when he caught sight of the other three hero's, two still in a fighting stance. Tim's eyes went right past the Kryptonions however and landed on Dick who had already long since put his own batarangs away. "Dick!" Tim cried out joyfully, much to Connors disappointment. "Do you know where your super soaker went?"

Lex, who had been hovering around Dick quickly let out a horrified squeak and soon disappeared into the darkness of the cave. Clark watched him go somewhat puzzled before he turned back his lover's two students. Connor, for his part, still hadn't taken his eyes off of Tim's barely clad figure.

"How should I know?" Dick was saying to the still miffed Tim. "I just got here!"

"I think Alfred had it in the kitchen yesterday," Bruce announced as he finally emerged from the shower area. Unlike Tim, he had put on sweats before emerging. Clark found himself oddly disappointed.

"Why would Alfred have a water gun in his kitchen?" Clark asked curiously as he followed Bruce to the computer.

"For the bad bats that try to sneak some snacks before dinner," Bruce chuckled before he gave a nod to a rather small bat that was hanging on the computer's overhang. "Charlotte." Clark blinked and looked up at the small animal. It looked just like every other bat in the cave. Just how was Bruce doing that?

"Whatever," Tim was rolling his eyes as he reached forward and pushed Connor's chin back up to close his mouth with one finger. "I'm going to go finish my shower-in peace!" Clark reached forward and snagged Connor's collar before the other boy could follow him.

"Hey, be grateful! When I was your age we didn't even have shower doors, let alone completely walled off from the rest of the main room!"

Connor whimpered and Clark tried extremely hard not to do the same

Oh, I love this little series. As if I hadn't already fallen in love with your stuff enough as it is due to Cover me, now I'm on cloud nine.

I love Batman and that he and the others have all the bats that live with them is just adorable
