Those on the Justice League who were 'friendly' with Batman always looked forward to calling Batman on the batcomputer, because there was always a slight chance it would be interrupted in a most amusing way by their favorite bird.

The first time it ever happened was with Superman, a few weeks after he had met the 9 year old for the first time, when Robin was fairly new to the hero game.

When Batman answered, he looked slightly annoyed about something and seemed to have been in the middle of a conversation.

"Batman, we need you to decrypt these files, we believe they are of national importance, and might reveal a massive threat to The Capitol."

"Send them over." Batman replied in his cold, gruff, monotone voice. Superman remained on the line as Batman worked on the decryption. After about 20 seconds of silence, a childish voice rang clearly from where Superman could not see it.

"But Whyyy?"

Batman took a breath as if steeling himself for an argument, but just held it a moment and simply stated,

"Because I said so."

Superman suddenly had a harsh bout of coughing to cover his laughter, and had to turn away so he could compose himself. Batman playing the 'Because I said so' card? This was a historical day in history. Robin's high voice came from the sidelines again.

"Because you said so? But Batmaaaan, he already likes me! Look, we've bonded!"

Superman heard some scuffling and then a bark - Robin brought home a puppy?

"Meet me at HQ, Superman, I'll bring the decrypted files."

Robin suddenly flipped into view, grinning cheekily.

"Hi Superm-", but stopped short as a look of comprehension dawned on his face,

"Cookies!" he exclaimed as he disappeared from sight - and Superman really couldn't blame him; if given a choice between having dinner at the White House or chowing down on a few of Alfred's cookies...well...point made.

"See you soon Batman. Superman out."


The second time it happened was when Green Arrow called, asking to borrow a bit of tech for a extremely major drug bust.

"Do you want any on hand help." Batman asked him, face stoic, as always.

"No thanks Bats, we've got this covered. Canary's all the backup I'll need, right babe?" GA grinned at Black Canary who was sitting where the screen didn't show.

But before she could reply to Ollie's flirting, Robin yelled,

"Blesteme ea la adancimi de Davy Jones, Engleza este innebunitor!"

(Translation: Curse it to the depths of Davy Jones, English is maddening!)

Batman calmly reminded him,

"Robin, Sunt pe un apel,"

(Translation: Robin, I'm on a call)

"Nu-i asa? Oh pare rau."

(Huh? Oh sorry)

"English, Robin." Batman reminded him, softening his tone a bit.

"Right, um, sorry."


The first time Flash's call to Batman was ever interrupted by Robin was when he was calling about an issue that came up in The Hall of Justice.

"All I'm saying is that you should let GA and me nab these guys! I mean look at this graffi-", but his train of thought was halted as loud footfalls came down the steps and into the batcave.

Robin, currently 10 year old Dick Grayson in Gotham Academy uniform, stormed in and proceeded to growl out,

"Don't even ASK how school was, because Babs was sick and had to stay home, we had a substitute, I got a C on my English test, we had to do lacrosse for gym, I got detention for accidentally tripping someone, lost my History textbook, and for the fifth time, I couldn't get my locker open!"

During his entire rant he'd ripped off his tie and gone behind a screen to change, coming out wearing workout clothes. Suddenly noticing Flash on a video call, he simply paused and said, "...oh. Uh, hey, Flash."

The speedster smiled and nodded in greeting.

Robin sheepishly shuffled out of sight saying, "I'm just gonna go over here..."


Wonder Woman was on the video call, exasperated but still looking fantastic, as usual.

"So that's it then." she asked Batman

"Yes."

"Then I guess I'll be off world for a week. Wi-" she was cut off as a young voice cut through the cold chill in the Batcave.

"HEY I JUST MET YOU

AND THIS MAY SOUND MEAN

BUT I HATE SPIDERS

SO BUH-BYE SPIDEY"

Robin ran into sight, saying in one breath,

"I just killed an enormous spider Hi Diana you look nice hey Batman I finished the simulation 1 minute faster than last time lets increase it a level please?"

Batman gave him a nod of consent, so Robin ran off, with an eerie cackle echoing behind him.

"You know its seriously creepy when he does that." Wonder Woman said, with an arched eyebrow.

"You know I didn't teach him to do that." Batman asked her with a smirk.


"Look Batman," Canary said over a video call, "Queen Bee is trying to corner the ambassador through Blackmail, and our interference could become an international -" like many calls before her, Canary was suddenly cut off, but by a loud yelp from somewhere on Batman's end of the call.

A few moments later, Robin came into view, wrapped up in a huge towel, and water dripping down his hair and face. He shivered and exclaimed,

"The showers, are FREEZING!"


Broken ankles are no fun, but it certainly helps to have a huge screen, aka the batcomputer, to watch movies on to help pass the time. Plus it was actually comfortable sitting in Batman's chair, not having to get all dressed up and spiffy...

Robin was as bad as most girls when it came to casual, hanging around the house comfort. Sweatpants, baggy t-shirt or hoodie, and messy hair.

Hey, he wasn't out to impress anyone.

Robin answered an incoming call, sitting in Batman's chair with his feet propped up on the control panel.

"Canary, Superman, Flash; what's the problem?" he greeted them, moving his feet down, carefully minding the heavily bandaged one.

"Hello Robin, is Batman there?" Dinah asked him urgently.

"Hmm, depends, he's a bit busy at the moment." Robin told her, smirking a bit.

"With?" she prodded, growing a bit impatient. Robin mimed dancing with someone while going, "la da da di da!", mimicking ballroom music. Flash laughed while Dinah just rolled her eyes.

"Shut up Flash - Robin, we need these markings translated and they don't match anything in our database, can you give it a try on the batcomputer?"

"Sure, but it'll take a minute. Send them over."

While waiting for the batcomputer to find a match, Superman decided to make small talk.

"What are you doing while laid up?"

"Currently watching Titanic. Frankly, there was enough room for both Rose and Jack."

"Not gonna join the party?"

Robin gave him a scathing look.

"How's the ankle?"

"Hm? Oh, right, ya it's almost healed."

Alfred materialized behind him suddenly, and decided to add his own bit of input.

"And it would be completely healed if you had refrained yourself from certain activities."

Robin cleared his throat and looked down at his phone in sudden interest.

Until Alfred took it from him and simply stated,

"No texting in the batcave."

"Alfreeed!"

But the butler only sniffed and sternly told him,

"And don't think I haven't any idea about the new virus you're going to test on the batcomputer. Furthermore, even though you are in an unfit state to wash the batmobile as punishment, I'm sure we can find something just as boring and tedious, perhaps joining Master Bruce upstairs for the party?"

Robin looked mock offended and hurt; putting his hand to his heart in a dramatic gesture, he said, "Alfred, surely you like me enough not to subject me to such a cruel punishment?!", but his attention was suddenly snapped to the screen, so he dropped the act and said in a business tone,

"Sending you the matches for the translation,"

"Confirmed, Thanks Robin." Canary told him, "And, uh, keep off that ankle. Canary out."

But before she ended the connection, she heard Robin arguing it out with Alfred,
"But I was talking to Barbara -"
"A past time you seem to enjoy,"
"I don't have a crush on her!"
