Hello again.
Summary: The whole team go on a mission to protect Bruce Wayne at a charity ball but get suspicious when the only people they see are heroes in their civilian identities. What's going on?
(Between me and you, it's a training exercise for the team and Robin knows : ) )
This is not BabsxDick they're just best friends.
Anyway onto the story, hope you enjoy.
Italics are the team talking on the mind link.
Robyn out.The team were stuck. Where? I hear you ask. Maybe a dungeon or an evil villain's horrible lair? Nope, somewhere far worse - a charity ball. But not just any charity ball, a charity ball for rich people and guests. Well that's what they'd been told at least.
Apparently there had been several threats made and with the number of rich/famous guests supposed to be attending the team had been called in to protect all the guests. Despite all the threats that supposedly been sent, there hadn't been any attacks or even many people acting suspicious. The team had spread out across the vast ballroom, decorated by someone with expensive tastes and full of priceless stuff, a gigantic gold chandelier even hung from the roof, finishing the look. A stage stood at one end of the room with a microphone in a stand in the centre, ready for a speaker.
"Why do we have to wear these stupid Monkey suits again?" Wally asked over the mind-link. He kept looking around the room, messing with his black suit and tie as he stood next to Roy Harper, Oliver Queens ward (and to the few that knew (including Wally), the former sidekick Speedy now known as Red Arrow).
"The threats we have received have centred on Mr Wayne and his ward. The League is occupied so we were asked to protect him." Kaldur sighed. "This is an undercover mission, we have to fit in." Adjusting his navy suit as he stood in a corner, silently agreeing with Wally. He didn't like the suits or event any more than the others did but he knew it was his job.
"Hey Robin, you're the expert on Gotham. Where is Wayne's ward? Richard Grayson, right?" Artemis questioned visibly looking around from her place next to a classmate - Barbara Gordon. She wore her Gotham Academy Uniform, she had been invited by Mr Wayne due to the fact he payed for her to go to Gotham Academy with his sponsorship (that was their reason for her attendance at least).
"Yeah, but he prefers to be called Dick Grayson, B and I protect him and Wayne sometimes. I think he's away at a maths competition in Jump City at the minute though. And sorry Wally but you will just have to try and survive, I don't like these suits anymore than you do." Robin cackled standing in his grey suit and sunglasses, chatting happily with Diana Prince. He was having way too much fun at the event, it was made even better by Batman allowing him to attend as 'Robin' instead of 'Dick'. It meant he got to enjoy the ball more than he normally did, trolling his team, talking with League members but not having to converse with the normal Gotham elites that he did as Dick.
"I don't know, I quite like this dress." M'gann said in a long red dress, which matched her hair. She stood next to Conner who also wore a black suit, he looked just as uncomfortable as his teammates, fidgeting and shifting every few seconds.
"There's nothing happening though! And this suit is uncomfortable!" Wally whined.
"Hey! Dresses are more uncomfortable Baywatch." Artemis shot back.
"No way, suits are more uncomfortable! Besides you're not even wearing a dress!" Wally shouted in his mind.
"Skirts are just as bad and besides-" Artemis stopped halfway through her sentence.
"Artemis? Artemis! Are you okay? What happened?" Kaldur asked Artemis in panic. He was maybe hoping for an attack at this point just to end their suffering (not that he would ever admit that to anyone). It was very unusual for the pair to just stop arguing without being interrupted.
