Prologue

Dick Grayson was sitting on the couch, channel surfing. He was so bored. It was freakishly hot outside, so Dick really didn't feel like doing anything but be lazy. Suddenly an image overtook the screen. He did not recognize the figure, but guessing by the maniacal laughter, it was some new supervillain.

"BRRUUUUCCCCEEEE! Get in here now!" He yelled out for his adopted father. He had a gut feeling, and after all his years of being a crime fighter, they were very rarely wrong. His brothers called it his 'Freaky Superpower That We Listen To Because We Want To Live' or FSTLTBWWTL for short. Dick personally thought that saying 'his bat senses are tingling' would be a better description because it played off of the Spiderman comics.

Bruce came crashing into the room, lacking his usual grace. "I thought you were being murdered or something!"

Wordlessly Dick pointed to the screen where the new villain was just saying, "I have been wronged by Bruce Wayne and his children. You see, I was underprivileged, but did they give me money? No! So this is my revenge! Within the next week I will kidnap his children and he will watch on television their executions!" With that the villain broke out into spine-chilling laughter. "Bruce Wayne, when your children are gone, remember to blame the Dark Phantom!" The video ended and a the scene of a woman running down the beach in a bikini appeared.

Bruce gave him a look and Dick shrugged non-comittedly before saying, "What? I was bored. Wanna watch with me?"

Bruce sighed and said, "Pause it, I need to call Superman down in the Batcave. Do you think the team can handle protective detail on the four of you?"

Snorting, Dick turned so that he was fully facing his father. "I don't think that the Justice League could handle the four of us together. Are we not telling them who we are?"

Bruce smirked and said, "Now where's the fun in that. Make some popcorn, I'll be back in ten minutes." With that he went down to the Batcave, put on the cowl and called Superman, who promptly freaked out when he learned that Batman and all of his sons were actually in Tokyo chasing down a villain who could cause spiritual disasters. Batman explained that he would brief the remaining five members of the team and have them guard Bruce Wayne and his sons.

Proceeding like nothing was wrong, Bruce told all his children that they were under house arrest because of some unknown threat to Bruce Wayne's sons and that Young Justice would be acting as all of their bodyguards. Tim actually looked sick at the idea and murmured, "You guys just keep finding new ways to try and kill me." Rolling his eyes at his dramatic sons, Bruce walked back into the Den with Dick. Dick held the popcorn in his lap and cuddled into his father's side. They rarely got moments just between the two of them and Dick always took full advantage when they did. Together they watched the movie, laughing,forgetting the threats against them and world that always threw its best against them.
