Chapter 2
“Do any of you want to explain to me what is going on here?” Everyone was seated around Bruce, including a very pale and worried Dick.
It turns out that Dick had cameras in his room because he ‘didn’t trust his sibling not to mess with his stuff’ or something.
And Dick is a narc who fucking snitched on them to Bruce. So much for sibling solidarity.
“It was Todd’s idea.” Damian stated. “I told him it was a stupid plan but he ignored me.”
“Hey!” Jason leaned forward. “At least I wasn't the dumbass who brought real blood! Seriously, where the fuck did you get it?”
“You were the one who told me to bring blood! I was just following your stupid instructions!”
“Well, it’s Tim’s fault for having a book with a real summoning circle in it!”
“My fault!” Said Tim loudly, “How was I supposed to know it was real? I don’t read Latin! Newsflash, it’s a dead language for a reason!”
“You guys summoned something in my room!” Dick stressed, hands waving. “My room! Where I sleep every night! How am I supposed to sleep in there now! It might be watching me!” Jason snorted.
“If it’s watching you then all it’s going to do is find something to lecture you about. Seriously,” He looked at Bruce, “It was like I was being lectured by you.” Bruce pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed loudly.
“And you had every right to be lectured! What you did was irresponsible and dangerous! You are all grounded from night activities until further notice.” The three boys started whining at that. “Enough. You’re all lucky that I’m not punishing you more.” They all hung their heads at that and Damian spoke up.
“Yes father.”
“And you,” He turned to Tim, “Are going to bring me that book. You will not be getting it back, seeing as you can’t be trusted with it.” Tim nodded glumly.
“Yes.” Bruce sighed again and looked between the boys, looking tired all of a sudden.
“I’m glad you are all okay. You were lucky that it wasn’t hostile.” He paused. “But next time maybe don’t just stand and stare at a foreign entity that has appeared in the house?”
They all nodded sheepishly, but secretly hoped that there would never be a next time.
Dad ghost would be so disappointed in them if they did it again.
