"Why would he do that?" Barry looked up to see robin staring down at him.
"What are you doing up there?" The speedster's eyes widened.
"My feet are stuck. I think it was the gra-graweticial-"
"Gravitational." Flash corrected as his eyes widened. Perhaps there was something else that they had not checked yet, because the boy had been fine with words yesterday.
"That thing that you just said, that m'gann did." Robin shrugged and walked along the ceiling before collapsing into an upside down sofa.
The crimson hero turned into a red streak, dashing into the other rooms to try and find the martian. He found her levitating kaldur in the air as wally cheered.
"Wally, stop cheering." The hero said sternly, walking to his nephew. The redhead glanced at the speedster before breaking down in tears as the flash groaned inwardly. He should have remembered how easy it had been to get his nephew to cry, after all, he had been the one who had caused many of those incidents. Most by accident, some intentionally. M'gann had let kaldur down, and the two were staring at the crying boy.
"Hey, who wants ice cream?" The flash said, searching his brain frantically for any excuse he could think of to get them under control again. The children immediately brightened up, and the flash winced when he heard a loud crash in the distance as several sofas crashed onto the floor. He dashed into the room, and sighed when he saw that robin was sitting on the floor, unharmed.
"Do you want ice cream?" The speedster asked the ebony.
"Okay!" The acrobat's shout echoed across the room, and connor ran in with artemis.
"Can we have ice cream too?" The blonde asked.
"More art!" The clone was admiring the ice cream smears on the wall, and the flash turned to look at the clone with an arched eyebrow, hidden under the cowl. Barry briefly wondered exactly what the G-gnomes had taught the boy before his thoughts were brought back to reality by the faint smell of salt coming from the kitchen. The speedster dashed to the kitchen, only to stop in awe and horror a moment later. The kitchen had been flooded, with ocean water, judging by the smell of salt. It was practically a small lagoon, and the redhead, miss martian, and kaldur were playing in it. The flash rubbed his temples, feeling like he was about to pass out. Taking care of 9 year old superheroes was exhausting!
"Do we still get ice cream?" Robin asked.
An hour later, red tornado stepped out of the zeta tube just as the flash zipped past him. "Bye! HaveFun! IBetYou'llDoAGreatJob!" the speedster shouted as he disappeared into the zeta beam. The robot stared after the speedster, wondering what it was that had caused the crimson hero to run quicker than red tornado had ever seen him run. He turned back to the cave a moment later, and stood in silence, taking it in. If it could, he was sure his eyes would be the size of dinner plates and his mouth would be somewhere near the ground. 3 of the walls were covered almost entirely in ice cream, and through the doorways, the robot could see that the rest of the rooms were practically oceans. More than a dozen paper bowls laid on the floor, each covered in ice cream. Connor was admiring the walls upside down, and the furniture was just about scrapped. A few piles of wood, metal, fabric, and cotton could be seen scattered throughout the room, arrowed sticking out of some of them. Robin looked to be the only one who actually ate his ice cream, as his bowl had been set down right next to himself, relatively clean. The acrobat was sleeping, and Kaldur could be seen swimming in the kitchen, as miss martian stood upside down on the ceiling with connor, 'admiring' their works of art. Wally could be seen repeatedly moaning, "I'm sooooo bored!", and artemis was stabbing the wall with an arrow. Red tornado flew to the kitchen, being ignored by the 6 heroes. The kitchen had somehow been filled with water, as did the library, training room, and a few of the bedrooms. As he entered wally's bedroom, the robot immediately noticed that it was flooded with ice cream. tornado gaped at the sight for several moments, awestruck by how horrific of a babysitter flash was. He took several pictures and saved it to his memory banks before he called batman.
The dark knight gazed around the room for a moment before speaking. "Honestly, I thought he would do worse."

A/N: On chapter one, [1] was I wasn't sure if the spelling was right. I did realize that my dividing lines looked like -= =- and the thing that I put in the middle disappeared, so I'll probably change that to something else( that hopefully works :/) and the food idea might go somewhere in the next few chapters, because I currently have no idea how to fit it here, I may edit this later and put it in, but at the moment I am stumped. Sorry if this is short.
