Summary: Bart's scared of thunder.
Author's Notes: For roguecatwoman!

Tim awoke to a warm weight next to him in bed. He frowned, wondering sleepily why the cat was under the covers, and then he remembered that he didn't actually have a cat.

There was a flash of lightning and a crash of thunder, and the warm weight curled into Tim's side. It was definitely a person. Tim could feel crazy hair and gangly limbs and big feet. Bart.

He reached down and pulled Bart out from under the covers. "Why are you in my bed?" he asked.

Bart looked at him innocently. "I was scared of the thunder!" he said, pouting at Tim. His eyes were wide and scared-looking.

Tim didn't fall for it. "That makes no sense. You've never been scared of thunder before. Or really anything."

"It's a new thing!" Bart insisted.

"Hmm. And you decided coming to my room and my bed could defend you?"

Bart nodded quickly, his features blurring. Thunder crashed again, and Bart dived onto Tim. He tucked his head into Tim's shoulder.

Tim sighed and hugged Bart back. "Okay, suppose I buy your story," he said.

"Cause it's the truth," Bart said, lips brushing Tim's shoulder.

"Okay," Tim said. "It still doesn't explain why you'd run all the way to Gotham. Wouldn't that involve going through the thunder? Is it even raining in Manchester?"

Bart sat up quickly. "Oh, no!" he moaned. "Course you figured it out. You're so smart. You figure everything out. Now you'll be mad an' it'll suck!"

Tim sighed and pulled Bart back down into another hug. "It's okay," he said. "But why did you want to come, really?"

Bart hid his face in Tim's neck. "Just wanted to cuddle," he muttered.

"Is that all?" Tim smiled encouragingly at him. "You can always just cuddle," he told Bart. "You don't need to make up reasons for it."

"Really?" Bart grinned brilliantly at him. "How about kissing?"

Tim blinked at him. "How about wha - "

Bart interrupted Tim with a very enthusiastic kiss.

It only lasted a few seconds, but they were a very intense few seconds. Tim suspected superspeed. He was already breathing hard by the time Bart pulled away.

Bart looked at him anxiously. "I was scared of the thunder?" he said, giving Tim a hopeful smile.

Tim laughed. "Fair enough," he said, pulling Bart down into another kiss.

Author's Notes: For milleniumrex!

"Um, Bart?" Carol said. "Why is there a ticking bomb next to you?"

"Huh?" Bart looked up from his video game. "Oh, that. Gotta get rid of it in about three minutes now."

"Three... Bart! Get rid of it!"

"Carol! I got tons of time!" Bart said. "Geeze."

"So get rid of it now!" Carol said. "Why wait until the last minute?"

"Wanna finish this level!" Bart said.

"The video game will wait! The bomb could kill us all!"

"Nah, I'd get you out on time. It'd just destroy the house."

"Bart!"

"Geeze, don't blow up, Carol. I'm almost done," Bart said.

"Congratulations, soldier!" The TV shouted. "You've managed to defuse all thirty bombs in twenty-five seconds! That's a new record!"

"Done!" Bart dropped the controller and grabbed the bomb, then raced outside.

Carol picked up the game box. X-Treme Bomb Squad! the cover declared.

"I'm going to hurt that boy," Carol muttered.

Summary: Bernard traumatizes Jaime.
Disclaimer: Don't own 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: For aravistarkheena because we were talking about how much Bernard would terrify Jaime.

"I had a absolutely fantastic dream last night," Bernard said. He forced his way between Tim and that boyfriend of his...Julio or some other Spanish name. Bernard threw an arm over both of their shoulders. "There was sex. Lots of it. You were there, Tim. Darla too. And Superman."

"Um," Tim's boyfriend said.

Bernard looked at him. "Sorry, you weren't there."

Tim sighed. "Ignore him, Jaime. Bernard's an idiot."

"I beg to differ!" Bernard said, snorting. "I'm highly intelligent. And attractive. And generally amazing."

Tim glared at him. "Jaime and I were going to see a movie, Bernard."

"Which one?" Bernard asked. "I love movies."

"Uh," Jaime said. "You probably wouldn't like it."

"Doubt that," Bernard said, snorting. "And don't mind me. You two can still make out or whatever. I won't mind."

"You're not coming," Tim said in his battiest voice.

Bernard laughed and ruffled Tim's hair. "Well, well, since you asked so nicely..." he grinned and broke away from the two of them. "Later, Tim." He gave Jaime a flirtatious little wave. "Bye, Jaime," he said, smiling.

Jaime gave him a startled look.

Tim glared.

Bernard smirked and walked off. Tim's new boyfriend was just too easy!

"Oh, this is fantastic! Ted Kord? Really?"

"...yes?"

"Simply splendid to meet you. Is Booster Gold around here?"

"Uh, who?"

"You know, tall guy, very shiny bottom...you really have no idea who I'm talking about. Strange."

"What?"

"Tell me, do you know Dan Garrett?"

"Professor Garrett? Sure. He's a great teacher."

"Ohhh...this is really fantastic!"

"Seriously, what are we talking about? Who are you?"

"I'm the Doctor!"

"Doctor who?"

"Just the Doctor. I'm tracking a Norglog-5 cluster bug. Want to come?"

"Actually, I have homework to do and - "

"Oh no, it's here, Ted, Duck!"

"...is that a sonic screwdriver?"

"Indeed it is! You've heard of them?"

"Heard of them! I've been trying to make one! Of course, Uncle Jarvis thought I was ridiculous even to try. But seriously, who doesn't look at a screwdriver and think about how much better it would be if it were sonic?"

"That settles it. Want to see space, Ted? I can take you anywhen and anywhere!"

"Are you kidding? That sounds awesome!"

"Could you please shut up about your honor for a few minutes?"

"And it turns out, the entire time, I... what?"

"It's very interesting, yes, but I'm trying to track your sister and her two friends, and you're distracting me."

"Right, sorry. You know, I'm a very good tracker too."

"Yes, because you did a great job tracking the Avatar, but you're atoning for it now, I get it!"

"I told you about that?"

"Twice. And before you start talking again, yes, I know about your girlfriend Mai and your uncle Iroh. Your story is very sad, and I feel bad for you. Let me track?"

"Did I tell you about my mother?"

"Oh for...both my parents died. So did both my best friends. And many, many other friends. And my girlfriend faked her death. Then I made out with my dead best friend's girlfriend and we almost dated entirely because we missed all of our dead friends."

"...I'm sorry for your loss. That must hurt terribly."

"Yeah, well, stop complaining. I have work to do."

"I AM THE GREAT STONE DRAGON, SPIRIT OF YOUR ANCESTORS! I WILL GUARD YOU, FA MISFIT!"

"...dude, you're like, a lizard!"

"I'm a dragon! Dra-gon."

"I'm a superhero. We fight evil monsters like dragons! Daaaark - "

"Nonono! Look, okay, I'm not really that big, but I can help you become a better superhero! I know all about superheroes!"

"Uh huh. So do I. Geeze, I am one!"

"I can help!"

"Thanks, but I don't need a lizard. And I couldn't bounce with you anyway. I kill anything living I bounce with."

"AHA!"

"What?"

"I'm not living! I'm an immortal spirit!"

"...you sure?"

"I'm from ancient China. Seriously, do you think I'd still be alive right now if I could be killed?"

"Point. Why do you want to protect me so much anyways?"

"I'm BORED, okay? All the Ancestors I'm supposed to serve have left this plane of existence! And you seem nice."

"Well...okay. I guess we could team-up. Maybe. See how it works."

"Yeeeeeee-es! You will so not regret this, Charlie! I can see it now...MUSHU and Misfit! The new dynamic duo for a new dynamic decade! They'll be COMICS written about us!"

"Okay, but remember, I'm in charge! Or I'll go all DARK VENGEANCE on your ass!"

"You got it, Misfit! Now, I've got great ideas for how to make this work..."

"DAAAAAARK VENNNGEAAANCE!"

"Foolish child! How did you apparate past my shields?"

"Appar-what? I am so taking you down, murderer! O, this is the guy, right?"

"Who are you talking to? ...you're a MUGGLE!"

"HEY! How would you like it if someone called you a Muggle? What's a Muggle anyways?"

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Scary green light! What's that do?"

"How'd you get over there? That wasn't apparition! That wasn't even magic!"

"So will you consider my offer, Mr. Fowl?"

"Mmm. No."

"I'm willing to pay you a vast fortune."

"No. First off, I'm a genius, not an assassin. Could I figure out a way to kill this...King Kandy? No doubt. That doesn't mean I will."

"You could tell me how. I'd still pay you, and do the deed myself."

"Secondly, I've done my research, Mr. Licorice. You've been accused of pedophilia three times."

"Never convicted."

"Indeed. I still have some standards, Mr. Licorice. I may not always follow the law, but honestly."

"There's no proof."

"Not that they've found. I, however, am smarter and better than all the Candy Land detectives put together."

"...what are you saying?"

"That you will go back to your castle and leave the plotting to those of us with enough intelligence to actually follow through. Unless you want the contents of this briefcase to make its way to King Kandy..."

"I will get you for this, Fowl. I have many agents. They can destroy the briefcase."

"Hmm. Maybe. But I have copies. And some of them are with friends that you will never, ever find. I can guarantee it."

"You haven't heard the last of me."

"Unfortunately, I don't doubt it. Don't let me detain you."

"Hmph."

"Oh, and Licorice? One other thing?"

"What?"

"Candy is not an acceptable payment, ever. No matter how delicious."

"That hat of yours. It's very...pointy."

"Well, of course it is. I'm a Wizard. Pointy hats are very important."

"Wizard, hmm? As in magic?"

"Well, yes. But I've been doing a lot of work with some theoretical - "

"Can you turn things into gold? Through magic?"

"No, no, that's Alchemy. Honestly. But I have this machine called Hex - "

"How about making gold appear magically? There has to be some magic way to make money, right?"

"Er...not so much. We have students, though. Maybe you can get them to do something? Not that likely, of course. They are students..."

"But...what's the use of magic if there's no gold?"

"I'm very sorry you feel that way. Would you like to see Hex calculate things? He's very good at it."

"Oh, I might as well. I can't believe there's no gold."


"Yes! There is gold! All I need to do is sell these library books!"

"Ook."

"...or not. Nice monkey..."

"OOK! OOOK!"

"Ahh! Ape! Ape! I meant ape! MIGUEEEEL! I NEED SOME HELP HERE!"

"An angel on Earth! That must be so exciting for you. So do you fight demons?"

"...well, not precisely. Er, fight isn't exactly the word I'd use for it."

"Oh? What do you do?"

"Well, I. Er. I try to redeem him. You know how it is. Saving souls."

"Not really. Tulio says that Hell doesn't exist, and it's good for us because we'd probably go there if it did."

"Oh, it exists. But anyway, I've been working on teaching the demon the meaning of...er...love."

"Noble of you. Has it worked?"

"Er. Yes and no."

"This sounds interesting!"

"Er. I'm redeeming him. Um. A little. But he may be corrupting me a bit too. He's. Er. Good at tempting."

"He's tempted you?"

"Look, why are we even discussing this?"

"Because it's interesting! How has he tempted you?"

"Oh, look at the time. I have to close up shop!"

"But it's nine in the morning!"

"Closed! Do come again."
