Batkid Drabble - "Hide"

Only Dick’s excellent reflexes saved his smoothie from going all over his front when Tim came sprinting around the corner and collided with him.

“Whoa, where’s the fire?”

“Shit, sorry, uh, I need to hide,” Tim said rapidly, glancing around like there was a good spot in the mostly empty corridor.

“Tim!” Jason’s voice shouted after him.

“I got you,” Dick said with a grin. Without giving Tim a chance to respond, he flung his hoodie around Tim, zipped it up, and turned back to face the direction Jason was coming from.

“Dick!” Tim squawked, trying to wriggle free from where he was pinned up against his brother’s back.

“Shh,” Dick said. He leaned one shoulder against the wall and waited.

A couple of seconds later, Jason came storming around the corner, scowling heavily.

“Hey, have you seen-” He stopped as he actually looked at Dick, with his weird-fitting hoodie and extra feet.

“Are you fucking kidding me.”

“Seen what?” Dick gave him his very best look of wide-eyed clueless innocence and took an especially loud slurp of his drink.

“You know what? No. I’m not doing this.” Jason waved a hand vaguely in Dick (and Tim’s) direction to indicate what “this” was.

“Doing what, Jay?” Dick asked sweetly.

“Nope.” Jason turned to walk away. “You’re both idiots. I have shit to do. But don’t think I’m going to just let this go, Drake!”

“I cannot believe that actually worked,” Tim said when he was gone, his voice muffled by fabric. Dick obligingly unzipped his hoodie to free his little brother, his smile going much sharper and less innocent.

“Jason’s tolerance for obfuscating nonsense is shockingly low. Now,” Dick slung an arm around Tim’s shoulder, “what did you do to annoy him and how can I help make it worse?”
